We’re all silent at the table. Knight was seated at the end of the table, with me on his right side, while Lucas was seated on the left. Dinner was served, candles well lighted, silver wares gone and replaced by Knight’s own dishes.I glared at Lucas while he was constantly glancing at me with his sulky face. We heard Knight’s heavy breathing, so our eye contact broke. I cleared my throat and composed myself.I turned to Knight. "Let’s season your steak."I was about to get the salt when Lucas stopped my hand. My mood became as salty as the salt in my hand."He hates salt."I glared at him and clenched my fist."For goodness sake, you two, stop." Knight warned us for the nth time."I’m fine, Lucas. Stop being paranoid. " He snatched the salt from my hands and seasoned his steak."Yeah? As if I’m mistaken about what happened to you a while ago?"We watched Knight. He cut his steak and ate a portion of it. He eyed Lucas like he was mocking him. Lucas just sighed heavily.I stayed silent
"Kill him.""Look at him straight in the eye, Athena. That’s the man who deceived you. ""I have only ever loved you."I woke up gasping for breath. I opened the lamp on my bedside and checked my phone. It’s almost five in the morning. I dreamed weird. I know it’s bad, yet I can’t remember it.I tried to go back to sleep, but my body didn’t listen to me, so I just stood up to have some coffee. I spaced out the whole morning sitting on my table contemplating things. More like, trying to remember what I dreamed of.Frustration was all I got for wasting my time thinking about nonsensical things. It was just a dream, Athena! Why do you need to remember that?I prepared for my errands for today. I will be visiting the orphanage today, not that it’s necessary since Knight has already donated fully. I just want to visit them as well. And speaking of Knight, he told me he’d come with me today.My phone lit up while I was choosing my outfit for the day. I glanced at it and saw it was from Knig
I got a good spanking of words from Erin, just enough to keep me sane. She’s right, though. I’ve kept it to myself long enough. My feelings have changed since my mother died and I became estranged from my father."I want to be honest with you, Ms. Collins. It will take years to stand this fight.""Y-years?" I uttered under my breath.The lawyer nodded at me. We met to talk about the other two lawyers that will handle my father’s case."I gulped and tried to shrug off the unending thoughts inside my head."Is it that serious? Couldn’t we just p-pay the money or what? W-why- I-I don’t-""Calm down, Ms. Collins." Mr. Admir tried to assure me with his eyes."I wish it is that easy. But your father’s case has already been passed on to the court. We need to undergo a step-by-step process before we can defend this case. We need to gather evidence, we need to make strategies. Yes. It’s this serious, Ms. Collins. "Hearing that from him made it even harder for me to think. Years? We’ll waste
--Knight’s POV--"This is me, saving myself."I couldn’t process her words. Oh how I admire this woman dearly, how she could easily wrap me around her fingers. She attacked my lips as if she hadn’t said anything that’ll confuse me for the rest of my life.Saving? Am I the one who needs that? Because I clearly know how doomed I am when it comes to him."You’re changing. She’s changing you. I know you’re aware of that. " One time, when I came back from driving Athena home, Lucas once again harassed my mind with his unending facts.And I think, this will happen often since he’s staying here in my penthouse for a while since Ulva is getting better at finding him. What a load of sh*t.I pour myself a glass of rum. I’ve long been addicted to liquor, but I noticed that I seem to be more addicted to it. This liquid somehow calms my nerves. Well, not that it would level Athena’s ability to calm me down. One touch, one smile, one laugh; boom. I’m falling, over and over again."Those kinds of wo
My heart had grown cold. Or, more accurately, I forced myself to be that way. Days have come by, and I know I’m back to my old self. I’m like a computer, programmed to be this way."Ahh! Fvck! Faster please! Fvck me harder! "I set our set up like what it’s supposed to be. No strings attached, no feelings involved. I want to protect my heart before somebody could even hurt it, or maybe myself.His thrust went faster than I wished. He satisfied me with his own way of pleasing me as usual. As he continued to slap himself on me, I felt him cover the curved of my waist.I groaned and moaned about our actions until I felt him fill me to the brim.Warm juices burst inside my stomach. He kissed my forehead before he slammed himself beside me. He embraced me and pinned my head to his chest, expressing his desire for a cuddle session. I don’t want to admit it, but yes. I love it."So, your big day is coming. How was it? " I asked.These days, I’m running out of sensible topics. I’m just coming
I arrived at the venue where Knight told me the event was happening. The valet approached me. I saw Knight standing just outside the car. Dashing with his suit and tie.I handed the keys to the valet before I walked toward Knight’s direction. He welcomed me with his arms snaked around my waist. The luxurious scent that he usually uses embraced my nose. I feel like I’m drunk just by smelling him."Sexy, as always." Knight whispered to my ears as we both walked inside."Thank you, handsome." I smirked and put my hair on my shoulder as we walked inside. He kissed my collarbone, and I giggled.The place was exquisite. I’ve been to a lot of classy places and events before, but for some reason, this one kind of intimidates me. Everything feels authentic, and I’m the only one who’s fake.The retro-like tiles fit the high ceiling that’s filled with gigantic chandeliers that are sure to cost thousands of dollars. Damn, I thought this was just a dinner? Where the hell am I?The group of people w
"Knight, w-where are-"I wasn’t able to continue my words. He grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall. He attacked my lips with harsh kisses. I was absent minded for a while, but then when I thought of our situation, I lashed out of that kiss."Knight, not here." I groaned.I even saw a waiter passing by the alley. I don’t even know that it’s already near the comfort room.His hardened jaw talked to him. He grabbed me by the wrist again and opened the dark colored door, and we got inside. I heard the sound of a lock before he again threw himself at me.Volts of lust travelled all through my body. I wasn’t able to concentrate anymore. My clutch fell by choosing to play with his hair rather than holding it tightly. His hands are casually roaming around my buttocks and my legs.I wanted him so badly, and this was all I could do to pacify this craving. Like a blazing fire, my worries all turned into ashes. I don’t care if somebody might see or hear us here. All I want is him all to
Knight was unconscious the entire time we're in his car. We weren’t able to bid our good bye to his colleagues since Knight’s men helped him and went to his car right away.In the car, all I did was talk to Knight from time to time to see if he was still awake and fine. I convinced him to go to the hospital, but he told me he just needed to go home, and so that’s what we did.Our guards assisted us when we arrived at his penthouse. They accompanied us to the lift. When the lift opened, Lucas’ stunned face welcomed us.He seemed to say something based on how he looked, but he looked too stunned to speak. I bet he held it all to himself, whatever it is that he had to say. And to note, he’s half naked as well."Lucas," I called him.He went to us to help guide Knight. He told the guards that we could manage and they all went back to the lift to leave. We guided Knight to the couch. I sat on the ground so I could level Knight. He really looks so weak at the moment."What happened?" Lucas
