The moment Kristen's car drove out of sight, Noami kicked the wall angrily and slammed her fist against the brick wall, which hurt like hell and left a long bloody mark on her hand. She winced and cursed under her breath, pulling away the hand, the red blood coming in contact with her white blouse.She cringed slightly and grabbed a paper towel from the dispenser beside her coffee table and started dabbing at it, trying to wipe away the blood but there was no end to the bleeding.After cleaning her hand as best as possible, she slumped down on the sofa, closing her eyes, sighing deeply as she rested her head back, taking in the silence that engulfed her living room."Why can't the b*tch be a fool for once and accept my offer of friendship. I know she is smart but one can't always be smart"She sighed yet again, opening her eyes, she stared at the ceiling.Why would she reject her friendship? Wasn't she worth a shot.?Her head was aching from all these thoughts."I will take things
Gabby's voice trailed off as he left without another word.Frederick looked after his retracing back, shaking his head slowly in dismay. He couldn't understand why Gabby is behaving like this. If he cares so much about the family, he should make Cassie his and leave him alone."Why should I be the one to fulfill the damned family Obligation?"He screamed in his head and his voice echoed back to him"You seem to forget you are the first son and Gabby is a free Animal, he would not want to be caged by the BUSHMAN's rule. You know that same thing you are running away from is what is running from"His subconsciousness reminded him.Frederick clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He hated feeling trapped in the position he is currently in.All his life, he was the only one doing things the way he was asked to. He has been someone living another's life which he doesn't want anymore.His family can't control him forever, he left home because he could not bear to be told wha
Kristen whispered again looking at the portrait with sadness and regret. She didn't want life to turn out this way. No matter how hard her life had been, there was no way anyone could take away from her joys as far as her dad was here. He would have protected her. He would have cared for her and he would have given her everything he could possibly give her.The tears fell from her eyes.No matter how much pain she had been through, it would not have mattered as long as he was with her.The tears threatened to form once again but she quickly wiped them off her cheeks and stood up placing a soft kiss on his portrait" I would try and live for you. Get rid of my past and move on, I owe you that, dad"A knock at her door caught her attention causing her to blink away the tears from her eye and wipe them with her the back of her palm"Come in!" she shouted.The door opened to reveal her stepfather who had the most gruesome look ever.Kristen turned slowly and came face to face with the ma
Kristen tossed to the other side of the bed now facing the wall, she curled into a ball and watched blankly as the time ticked by.Her brows were furrowed which would make you think she has a lot on her mind, but the truth is, her mind is so blank. It was empty. There was nothing in there. She doesn't have a single thought in her head, except for these words that kept repeating themselves over and over in her mind:Why did life hate me so much?"Life doesn't hate you, you are the one hating yourself for not letting go. The moment you let go, you will be free"Her subconscious mind said."It's not easy, no matter how I try to forget it comes back to me. If there is anything I want so much it's to be free from this pain that refuses to go. I want to wake up every morning and smile that I am alive, not sad because of my damn past."She mumbled, trying so hard not to drop a tear."Kristen darling"Mrs. King's voice sounded outside her door breaking her out of her thoughts."Mom, go away.
Kristen held her cheeks as she glared at her sister,” I will let this slide but you will be unfortunate next time. You might have beaten me up in the past and I did nothing but I can assure you that it is not the same anymore. Don't try this with me again, leave my room” Kristen warned in a stern tone. Cherry was momentarily lost and when she regained her composure, she smirked, “don't forget I rule here, you might have grown but you are still my unfortunate sister and I will continue to treat you however I want”After she was done talking, she looked at Kristen for the last time and then stormed out of the room. Kristen took in several breaths trying to control her anger, left for her, she would have beaten cherry but that would be so childish of her.“If Cherry thinks we are still in the past then she is a damned liar, I might have kept quiet this time but I am not sure of next time. The next time she will try this, I will keep maturity aside and teach her a lesson. She can't be i
Whatever tension that had been in the dining room got doubled by Kristen's ringing phone. Her stepfather and half-sister were ready to see if she would take the call And also to know if the caller is a boy, which would not be good news if it was so.Kristen stared at the phone as she contemplated on whether to pick it up or not but following the curiosity on everybody's face, she decided to pick it up right there."Hi honey pie"She greeted, cheerfully. Cherry and Mr. King exchanged glances, a big smile appeared on Mrs. King's face. She was bubbling with excitement."Don't you worry, if the need arises? I will not forget. Hope you are good?"Kristen continued to communicate with whoever that is on the other side of the phone, not minding the glares she was receiving from the two people sitting opposite her."Sure, darling. Don't miss me too much"And with that, she ended the call." Tell us Kristen, who is that?"Cherry pried dryly.Kristen smirked and beckoned on the maid standing
The guys were at the same spot they met Kristen, seated at a round table drinking and watching the night pass by. Little Castle was filled to the brim.Frederick kept staring at his beer absentmindedly. Larry had been observing him for a while Justin and Bryan had themselves on the lookout for girls to lay with tonight.“Are you ok, buddy?”Larry finally asked.Frederick looked up as though he just remembered something and smiled a bit sheepishly in response, “Yeah, I guess so. Just thinking…”“About what?” Larry insistedFrederick took another sip of his beer, then shrugged slightly. He couldn't think of anything to say.Justin and Bryan sat back, knowing that it wouldn't take time before he could talk about whatever was bothering him. Fredrick didn't mind being alone when he feels down, but talking it out with others helps“Kristen is acting strange…” He finally said after taking another drink. Justin and Bryan raised their brows in confusion ""Which Kristen?" Byran asked, droppi
Mr. King got to his bedroom looking furious. Mrs. King was already under the duvet with her phone in her hand. She saw how furious Stephen is and ignored him which aggravated him more. "Kristen has to watch it. I can't have her insult me in this house"He blew hot air from his mouth in a low growl and started pacing around the room. "She has been acting like an asshole towards me since she arrived and you need to put her to order"Mrs. King had no idea where he was going with all this and she didn't care. She had fought alongside him for so long, ignoring the pleas of her daughter. If Kristen wants to give it to Stephen hot, let it begin. But one thing she knows is that she can never again go against her daughter. Her husband has been a tyrant for so long, it's time to put him in his place. "If you can allow me to sleep tonight, it will be appreciated"She replied not taking her eyes off the phone. "Is that all you have to say, Maria?" He asked with a mocking tone. Mrs. King
