Cressida You fucked up… Cressida.Unfortunately that wasn't the last thing Savaş said to me before he disappeared…They won't tell you anything, Güzel. I'm your only key to your past because they all would prefer lying to you because they think… you're too weak.That sentence was roaming around me like a ghost the whole day. Was that what everyone really thought of me? Weak and breakable.No… No, I'm not weak. I'm stronger than they all think I am, they'll see. But I didn't want to think about that now. First, I was with Jack now and didn't need him to sense that something was off. Second, we had to go home and get ready because there was a gala that had something to do with businessmen so as the children of Isaac Arne we had to be there as well.And someone else was going to be there as well…"It looks like someone befriended the little witch." Blake. I took a deep breath but continued walking towards my car where Jack should be waiting since I asked him to go ahead of me.Just ign

Cressida "It's official, you hate me, Ida." Talia groaned in between her vomiting streak before she went back to vomiting."Hangover can be a bitch, right?" I smirked as I said those words while standing beside her with a towel in my hand, waiting for her to finish her session. "It is and so are you." I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud but had to keep it down a little when Jack entered the room and he too had to stop himself from scowling at Talia because of her drinking habit."Jack, how come I'm the bitch when she is the one who pushes me away every time I tell her to stop drinking?" Jack only shrugged but had to leave when Dad called him and I was more than ready to eavesdrop on them but Talia tugged at my leg so I would give her the towel which I did.But my gut feeling told me that Dad calling Jack wasn't something good… it just wasn't. **********************Everyone And I mean everyone was staring at me as I walked the hallways with Talia by my side and I might or

Cressida Oh my beautiful children, I love you so much but I will always wish that you were never even born."No!" I woke up, gasping and sweating. It was the same dream I was having for the last two days… ever since Dad went to prison and ever since I accidentally found that book.I looked at the nightstand beside me where I last placed the book… that damned book.'Two days ago'Why Did they send me to get something from Dad's office when I hadn't entered it for years.I kept on searching for the papers Jack asked me to find but there was a specific drawer that felt weird… too weird. I took the ruler that Dad always kept in the office and placed it on the side of the floor of the drawer and pushed a little… bingo! I was right, there was another layer beneath it and there was a book with only a few French words written on the red leather cover. L'histoire d'une femme morte.Which in English meant : The story of a dead woman.Dad was never one to read books so why would he keep a boo

Cressida Getting ready for this party was sooo damn exhausting and what was even more tiring was decorating the house, getting drinks, food, waitresses and waiters, all in one day.I was currently wearing a navy blue dress that had a long slit, showing off my legs. My hair was pulled up in a wavy ponytail while having it braided on the top as well.I usually wear Mom's necklace even if it never matched the dress but this time my hand hovered over the necklace as I remembered her words in the book and the small fragments that I dreamed of as well… I didn't think I wanted to put it on… not today.So I simply picked one of the other necklaces I had then headed downstairs, my heels clicking on the stairs as I listened to the calm and classy music that was playing but while looking around, I noticed Noah and his face… was bruised. Maybe not that much but still noticeable so I quickly ran to him and placed my hands on his face, making him look at me."What happened to you?" I gasped and di

SavaşThere was no going back for me now. Not after I got a taste of an island full of guilty pleasure, simply by having Cressida come because of my fingers only.Everything about her screamed sin even though no one else could understand it. No one could understand how hard I became upon looking at her innocent blue eyes, the same eyes she wanted to make everyone else believe that they were harsh and unfeeling.No one noticed how she played with the hem of her shirt whenever she was nervous or how she bit her lip every single time she lied. No one in this whole goddamn world knew her buttons and how to push them the way I did and I'm only getting started… Soon I'll be the only one she could trust. She would soon lose trust in her father, her aunts and maybe even Jack but I swear in my life that I'm doing this for the better good. The bathroom door opened and I half expected it to be Cressida, looking for more answers but instead it was her look alike. Jack."Stay the fuck away from

Cressida "I'll go try these on okay?" Noah said and left to the changing room without waiting for my answer and I knew that he was going to take a long time there as usual so I took my chance to distract myself from both Savaş and Jack the same way I've been doing for the last five days… by reading the book my mother wrote about her life.Maybe I would discover something about myself that way even though I still knew that my answers would always be owned by Savaş… Chapter two:Ma deuxième mortTwo Lines. Pregnant. I was Pregnant with Isaac's children. I just lost my only chance of freedom because of this child.My hand clutched my stomach where a small human was growing and I wished if it wasn't, I'll always wish it wasn't. The problem wasn't Isaac, he treated me like I was a queen from day one and till this day. The problem also wasn't the small child I was having… The problem was… me.It always was me…"Chantal?" I heard Isaac call my name, make brace myself and wipe out the tea

Cressida I Let my gaze go around the basement through my dark locks while keeping my head down. It was meant to scare any kid who stepped inside it, low light, long stairs, creepy vibes. But it didn't scare me, not one bit but it sure did my twin who was trembling in fear, his low voice shaking as he called out for me. "Cressida?" It would've been better if someone stabbed me with a knife in my heart compared to hearing how afraid Jack was. It wasn't fair.I looked beside me and saw Jack shaking but I could tell it wasn't just from fear so I quickly removed my jacket, staying in my black t-shirt as I draped it over Jack's shoulders before I took his cold face in both my hands.Tears ran down his face as he whispered, as if he was afraid that they would hear him even though they weren't here. "I'm scared." I wiped away his tears even though they kept reforming, then said in the strongest tone I could give."You don't have to be afraid. I'll always protect you, no matter what." Jack

Cressida I took one last look at myself before I left the room. This time I was wearing a dress that had a single shoulder strap and diagonal cut with a calm shade of pink which wasn't something I would've preferred because pink made me look way too girly and… innocent and I knew that I was far from innocent.My shiny black hair came down in waves, cascading down my back. A beautiful silver clip had been put in to hold my hair in place, anyone would see me as a sight to behold. Him included.A knock on the door had me coming back to the real world, making me go open the door to find the one and only… my fiancée."Amour, are you ready for us to make the grand entrance?" Jesper offered me his hand which I gladly took and we started walking until we reached the top of the stairs of the ballroom and down them, there were people waiting for the soon to be greatest couple of Atherton.Even though Jesper agreed, he was still wary of Savaş the whole week we talked about this party, afraid t

Cressida Three Years later "Are you okay?" Ember asked, eyeing me suspiciously and who could blame her because I wasn't exactly fine and while she thought that my kidney was acting up… that wasn't the case. "Yes I'm fine, it's just I still want to kill Oliver for this." I told her and that wasn't a complete lie because I did want to kill him for what he did but I lied because that wasn't why I was bouncing my leg up and down or why I had my face turn pink. Despite the fact that knowing I was Talia's and Oliver's wedding after she was forced to marry him still made my blood boil and I'll be sure to make him pay for it but again that wasn't the case for my situation now. The case was that my husband, being the asshole that we both knew he was, decided that he wanted to play a few days before now and I ended up losing a bet. The bet was that the other can do whatever they want with the other for a full day of their choice and he wanted that day to be today… of all days and also h

Cressida"Why are we here?" I questioned the man who was pulling me with him after taking us into this abandoned warehouse. There were tables everywhere full of knives and what looked like torturing tools… what the hell was this place?"You'll see, Güzel." He declared to me before we came to a stop in the middle of the warehouse, like we were waiting for something and deep down, I think I knew why we were here…If I know Savaş which I believe I do then there was no way he let the Queens go which meant he did some unthinkable stuff and maybe it was the Raven's Caw doing something alongside him as well but I didn't think I would even be mad.And I was right because moments later Ace and Oliver came down some stairs in the warehouse, each had one of the two men, pushing them towards us until they were standing right in front of us and hit the back of their knees making them kneel before us."Go on, apologies." Savaş ordered Noah but he was just looking at me, pure hatred covering his fe

CressidaMy muscles felt like they were on fire when I started regaining consciousness, body hurting like a bitch. I started opening my eyes slowly, trying to force myself to adjust to the many lights around me, hospital lights no doubt."Cressida." There it was. I would've been surprised if he wasn't beside me and the first to call out my name once I'm awake.So I looked beside me to take a good look at him. He had dark circles beneath his eyes, telling me that he had quiet sleepless nights because of me and even his green eyes looked tired and who could blame him.Both of us suffered way too much till this moment but that face off with Queens was a last straw for everyone. It revealed secrets and brought back some horrifying memories and apparently almost killed me given that I'm still alive."I'll be right back." Talia's voice came from beside me and I saw her move towards the door but she was a blur when all I could see was Savaş, the man I thought wouldn't see again because deat

Savaş"Cressida, come on baby stay with me." I whispered beside her ear as I was running alongside the nurses and doctors that surrounded us, rushing Cressida to the operation room.My blood ran cold the moment she let out that one small weak smile, the same way my mother did before she… No. No! No it's not the same because Ida won't die, she wouldn’t leave me. I know her, she won't leave me or Jack or anyone who she loves.My Ida wouldn’t want to make us this sad. She loves us, she loves… me. She fucking admitted the she loves me seconds before she collapsed.How dare she? How dare she do that to me? She doesn’t get to do that, not after everything I've done, she doesn't get to make me feel guilty more than I already do!"Ida, I love you too. You know I do, You always knew so come on stay with me and I'll say it as much as you want me to… I'll say it all day and night if you want me to, just… just come back to me, please." Tears blurred my vision. I never cried, barely did at my mot

TW: Organ Trade.Cressida It felt like I was back there, back to those times where I had to be the strongest, where I had to pretend that I wasn't scared shit less of those gaurds.Back to a time where an eight years old had to tell her twin brother that she'll protect him when she knew damn well that if it came down it, she would try to protect him and probably die doing so but that wouldn't have meant she would be the one who saved… if he got saved at all.To look into that man's eyes opened back a part of my memories that I just now realised… I had closed. I did it. I chose to forget rather than facing my fears but what else would eight years old me would have done? No matter how many tough act one can play, there would always be a moment where your heart would be beating so loudly and intensely that you can feel it in your ears, your brain going into overdrive, a part of it wishing to just doze off until the danger is gone, another part only longing for the truth but all of tha

DanteThrough my entire life, I made lots of mistakes and formed way too many enemies but it never crossed my mind that it would affect my only child and wife but it did.My mistakes came back to haunt me the moment Deniz died while trying to protect Savaş -our son- knowing damn well that it would cost her life but she was always that way… it was what made me love her in the first place, her selfless and loving nature had me captured the moment I met her.She and I both knew I wasn't a decent man yet she still let me into her life until I managed to have her love me and there were moments in my life where I thought that I was way too cruel to have her by my side, too cruel for her pure heart but the moment Savaş was born and I saw her holding him and staring him down with unconditional love.The moment she looked away from him and her gaze settled on me, full of love, passion and trust… I just knew it would be impossible for me to let her go but life was never fair to me… ever.One bu

TW: SACressida I shrieked the moment I felt someone bury their fist in my hair and pull me up from the ground harshly. I rapidly started blinking to get rid of the sleeplessness but feeling someone tie my hands behind my back had me remembering where I was again which had me search for Savaş, even though someone besides the person grabbing me placed a tape over my mouth, taking away my ability to speak."For safety measures we had to take him out of here before you, no need to keep on being a little slut for him, Ida." Frozen. That's exactly how I felt.Noah. That voice belonged to Noah. He was my friend and now he… who was he? How could he talk to me that way? How dare he call me that as if I'm nothing. I groaned through the tape while squirming in an attempt to get away from him but he suddenly was in front of me and I barely registered what happened before I felt a sting on the side of my face that had my head turned to the side.He slapped me. That son of a bitch slapped me.

CressidaI was about to leave the nightclub while Savaş was supposed to catch up with me but something didn't feel right, I knew it.While I was trying to shake off that feeling someone pulled me from behind by the waist and before I could scream a hand that was holding a piece of cloth was placed on my mouth and nose.Fear filled my veins as I tried to reach for my gun but someone else came up from the shadows and took it away and only now did I notice the smell of chemicals filling my nose, forcing me to drift out of consciousness until everything turned black.************************When I woke up again I found myself in a basement… that basement. The same one where I was locked with Jack in, the one I met Savaş in.Lifting myself off the ground I looked around me until my eyes stopped at the figure of someone… Savaş.I got up quickly, rushing to his side before I fell down on my knees beside him, my hands cradling his face while shaking him gently.I called out his name. "Savaş?

Cressida "Why should I wear a wig?" I asked, frustration filling my voice because the damn wig just couldn't be placed on my head like I wanted."One, we can't let The Raven's Caw know that you know about them. Two, since your majesty doesn't want to run into Savaş then we have to disguise you." Talia answered while applying on her eyeliner.I didn't know who to ask about the whole Raven's Caw thingy but apparently she knew because her father was in the meeting too but I didn't notice him so she told me some stuff but not everything so we still have to go some sort of underground club that the Raven's Caw own, where fights happen so that we can spy around.But the problem was that the horsemen hung around there a lot and might as well be there tonight so I told her that the last thing I want is running into Savaş there and that is why I'm suffering with a blonde wig now.Once I finally had the wig on, we headed to the club where a bouncer was seated but he got up when he saw Talia be
