Kaden found me! And he's like a raging beast ready to devour anyone. They exchanged punches, kicks and whacks. The lights went back but the mess still never stopped. It only got worse, party people were desperate enough to get to the exit. Lorcan's men are still fighting with the troublemakers, too. "You're a dead meat!""Kaden, watch out!" My breath hitched as i shouted that. The mad man got his gun back and he's pulling the trigger on my brother!"No!" It happened too fast, Sydney appeared with a whiskey bottle on her hand, she hit it on the man's head. "Gosh! I feel completely sober!" Her eyes moved to me and then, to Kaden who was staring intently at her."Syddy, i thought i was going to lose you!" I forced myself to get up and hugged her. She hugged me back tightly. "Don't you ever do that again, to leave on my watch!" I sobbed on her shoulder."Sorry for making you worried, Tash..." God, I'm so glad she's safe!I faced her afterwards but seconds later, her eyes widened and she
Do you know what makes it more heartbreaking? Seeing his dull eyes, realizing how indifferent it looks to me. So blank. So unfamiliar.I feel betrayed. I feel played. I feel like i'm the most foolish person in the world. He made me become one."What the fuck, Lorcan." Now, his name rolled out my tongue like a venomous acid.I can't even see some guilt on his face. Like he's already expecting this, like he doesn't care about what I would feel. He doesn't give any single fuck, at all."Tell me you're just being drugged." I said in a firm tone. His blank eyes stared into mine."I'm not." It broke me more. How can he even say that without batting an eye? Another batch of tears started falling from my eyes. My knees are about to wobble, this is hilarious. I turned to Violet, she has a victorious smirk on her lips while looking at me, mockingly. Holding the white blanket, covering her body, she looks satisfied. Fuck."H-how can you do this to me? You hate this woman, right?! You loathe he
"Tash, we need to go now."Leaving the place i used to call home is something i never prepared for. It hurts me, knowing i need to leave everything behind. I'm leaving Edith. I told her I would come back but then, i couldn't even bid her goodbye. I feel terrible. I'm such a bitch."I'm counting on you..." I said to Kaden who was holding our baggage to the van."Don't ask for any news from here and just focus on your baby." He reminded me like a dad."Yeah, i will." I made a small smile. Syd clung to me like a koala."I will stay by her side 24/7. Get that!" She rolled my eyes at my brother.His men began taking our remaining things to the van before everything was settled. It's time to go. Syd stepped inside first, i was about to go next to her but Kaden called me. To my surprise, his arms embraced my body and it was warm. He feels genuine. This is the first time he hugged me after all the bickering and hate towards each other."Take care. You need to come back stronger. Braver, Atas
"Pineapple juice?" I offered Atticus who was sitting on the sofa while watching Damian playing on the rug."Please," i gave him one glass then. "Mommy, i want lemon flavor!" The kid demanded and i was like, 'why does he have to be this difficult most of the time?'"Baby, pineapple juice is the only one available." I told him and i got to see his pouting face again. My eyes softened."Hmp! Then, i don't wanna drink anymore!" He turned his back on me in a very snobbish manner. What the eff."Tell me you don't act like that when you were still young." Atticus said after he took a gulp from his juice. I gave him a look."Of course, i wasn't! It's your half-brother, he's that complicated i swear. Like you'll be needing a very long patience to--" i paused immediately when i realized what i was saying. "Oh. I think i have gone too far. Sorry." Shit! Why did i even have to reminisce those things about him?The sudden silence between us felt so freaking awkward that i wished Sydney didn't hav
"Won't you ask what i'd like to have here?" Regina asked in a taunting voice.Elise and i, looked into each other before i took a deep breath, keeping it all together."What would you like to have, ma'am?" I asked in a pretentious approach, trying to control the urge of becoming sarcastic all of a sudden.Regina made a fake gasp, she exasperatedly put her left hand to her lips. I remained looking at her nonchalantly."Oh no, i suddenly forgot. Can i get your suggestion, please?" She blinked her eyes hilariously in front of me. I let Elise speak up. "We have moon pies, blueberry cheesecake, various flavors of shortcakes and mousses--" but Regina intentionally cut her off."Sorry? But i'm talking to your manager here." She raised a brow at her and then, to me. I sighed heavily."B-but i'm the manager here, ma'am." Elise corrected. Regina's lips formed into an 'O' as if she fell into a big realization."Is that so? Oh my God, i'm sorry! I think i misunderstood something. If you're the m
This is actually normal but why does it have to be so painful? Damian's starting to ask about Lorcan and i can't stop myself from making promises that are uncertain to happen. Am i being a harsh mother? Because that's the only way i know to prevent his innocent little heart from breaking apart.The least thing i want to happen is for him to discover the real state between me and his Daddy, the fact that our family is years broken and too impossible to be fixed.Especially now that his father is bound to marry other woman. I feel so sorry for my son. He doesn't deserve any of this unfairness but i can't do something about it. Even how much of a successful woman i am right now, it's as if i'm still powerless when it comes to him.Because in the very first place, how can i fight for someone who dumped me for his perpetrator? How can i get him back when he was the one who was first to give up our relationship? I know it's a dead end. There are things that better to keep, and words left
"Lorcan..." I spat his name acidly and the funny part was it sounded more likely unfamiliar to my ears after long years since the last time i heard it from my mouth.Slowly, i lifted my eyes up to him until I got to see the full view of him. From his body that seemed to become more masculine and defined, to his face that clearly matured evenly along the years. His intense grey eyes that used to give me butterflies were looking directly at me right at this moment, bland and so... strange. I already expected it anyway. But to actually meet him again in this kind of situation isn't something i prepared myself for. I think it's too early... or maybe i don't really want to see him again, in any possible situations at all."Ran out of gas?" He guessed correctly. I blinked and absentmindedly clicked the car keys i was holding."Y-yeah..." Fvck. Why am i stuttering? "Let me drive you to the gas station." He then, offered in a very formal tone. As if he's just offering a new proposal to his
All i know is i have to deal with another awkward moments once again with Atticus Fauler. Him and his actions that bothers me a lot. Do i have to deal with this total change of heart from now on?"Here's for you," Atticus handed me the bouquet after i turned on the lights in the living room and we sat together on the sofa."Oh, thank you. This is unexpected, huh." I had to say that, to let him know that things are still bewildering to me."Those are freshly-picked, and what's so unexpected about it? I have already told you over the call last night. I meant it." There was a long stare coming from those dark oceanic depths."So..." I made a pause to swallow hard. "You're literally serious about the, uh... confession?" I aimed for some clarification, and he nodded firmly. Goodness gracious."I'm serious as hell, Atasha. Want me to prove it all the way to you?" There's a dare in his tone and i was like, "No, no, no. Not the kiss again!""Okay, okay! Fine, i believe you. You fell for me an
