The raindrops begin to pelt against my windowpane, a soothing melody to my broken heart. The gloomy weather matches my mood, although a new day has break, I can’t seem to get over yesterday.

The tears that had been welling up inside me spilled forth freely, as I crumpled onto the bed.“Sweety?” Shane’s voice calls from the other side of my bed room door, “I bought you something to eat.” His voice is sincere, as he gently opens my door and places a tray of food on the desk. “Please, try to eat something, okay.” Shane says as he exits the room. “Will she be okay?” I hear Lesley’s voice as Shane pulls the door shut.“She’s stronger then you think.” Their voices fades into the background as I focus on the rain, my perfect symphony. If I only told him, if I only opened my damn mouth and told him that I’m not even writing about him, maybe, just maybe he would have acted differently. Although I still can’t believe he is the son of Gustav Lenkov, how can a m

Tonight I need to give it my all, I need to get a story. Michael and I decided to meet up at seven, he offered, no insisted to pick me up, so that we would arrive there together. Michael got us in using a rather ridiculous back story, I’m his half sister, our family owns some kind of whisky business and we are here to get new investors, so yeah that’s our back story, I don’t think anyone will believe that. I have no clue how he pulled off such a solid story and how he manage to get us on the list, but he is entitled to his secrets and I do not care even a little bit.“Clara!” I yell dumping my keys and bag on the kitchen table and our dinner.

He look so damn fine in a tuxedo, even my mouth starts watering. The sleek lines of his suit hug his body in all the right places, the fabric is like a second skin accentuating his board shoulders and tapered waist. The crispy white shirt beneath the jacket is unbuttoned at the top revealing just a hint of his perfectly toned skin. He exudes confidence and self-assurance.As he turns to see who’s approaching, I gulp hard as my heart skips a few beats. A smug smile pulls on the corner of his mouth as I freeze on the spot. I feel winded as his smoldering intense gaze examines me. “Dangerous game your playing, Sunshine.” His voice is low and dripping with desire.I clear my throat and regain my confidents, it’s only Michael. I give him a sarcastic smile. “Your playing the game on your own, let’s go.” I exit the building and walk to my car.T

Dirty Little Secret Chapter 49
In the dimly lit bowels of a desolate house, a cold dark basement serves as the macabre prison for all his enemies or people who knows to much. My eyes flutters open and I feel the ropes scarfing against my skin, I’m bound to a chair, my head is pounding from the blow as my blurry vision starts to take in my surrounding. The atmosphere is chill, in the distance I can hear the dripping of water echoing through the labyrinth of underground pipes. The floor, coated in a layer of grime and filth, seems to suck away any warmth that dares to approach. Chains and shackles, cruel instruments of confinement, clung to the walls. Is this his torture chamber? Its walls, cloaked in a moldy veil of dampness, exuding a musty odor that clings to the air like a haunting specter. The only source of illumination came from the feeble, flickering light bulb hanging from a rusty chain. I hear the door crack open and one of the big guys comes strolling in, slicing and dicing an apple.“You finally came to,

The first light of dawn paints the skyline with delicate strokes of pale pink and gold, as the sun rises and brushes his golden fingers against my cold, pale skin. A surreal stillness settles upon the deserted streets as we speed down the road. My heart is still pounding, like a caged bird desperate to break free. The remnant of a sleepless night clung to my weary eyes, making the world out side blur into a dreamlike haze. Confusion and fear courses through my veins as the event plays on repeat in my mind, what would have happened if Lorenzo didn’t show up? Would I be in a body bag? The thought sends a shiver down my spine, as exhaustions cruel hand brushes over my eyes and sends me into a deep sleep. When I come to, I’m in a warm comfy bed dressed in an oversized T-shirt that smells just like Lorenzo. “Good morning dear, or more like afternoon.” Miss Williams, warm kind smile greets me. “Steven, brought you here, at the crack of dawn. Your dress was all ripped and looked like a

The ground beneath me trembles as I approach him. My heart rate quickens with every step I take, “Lorenzo.” My voice barely audible. “I’m going home.” The trembling stops and so does my heart, his eyes pierce my soul as he turns to face me. “Clara must be worried sick and Michael…”“Your boy toy.” He growls as his eyes darken.“It’s not like that, we..”“Please, Lilly-Ann, for once just keep quiet.” The storm calm down, his voice soft and gentle, but for some reason I fear it even more then the yelling. “I don’t care what he is to you or what your relationship is, but if I find him….” A deadly smile pulls on the corner of his mouth as he strokes my jaw. “He’ll wish he was never born.” I gulp, his touch is cold and firm, weakening my body.“I don’t understand.” My eyes searching his for answers, but they are like close doors keeping all his secrets hidden.“He sold you off, Lilly-Ann, he used you to lure in my uncle.” Lorenzo turns his back to me, “You have know idea what you walked in

Dusk brushes over the city and for the first time in a long time, I feel lonely. I had just made an agonizing decision, one that I might regret in the near future. I walked away from the man I loved, I had known for a while that our paths can not intertwine any longer. My heart feels heavy with the overwhelming love I still feel for him. I sink my head into the pillow and feel the anchor pulling me deeper into the realms of loneliness.A familiar creak of the door closing reverberates through the stillness. I jerk up to see who my intruder is.“Ann? You still awake?” Clara whispers as she tiptoes to my bed.“Yeah…” I flick the bed lamp on and push my body up. “I don’t think sleep is an option for me.”Clara sit next to me and looks at me worried. “You need rest, it's not good for you or the baby.”Easier said the done, I can’t get his face out of my head, that shattered look in his eyes. ”I know.” I pull my pillow to my chest and hug it tight, “But you didn’t see him.”“Ann, he is eng
