We made sure to get everything ready and inspect if there was anything we were leaving behind thankfully there was nothing remaining. The morning had been a very restless one since the mysterious man had interrupted our breakfast with the spine-chilling news. At this moment I still remembered how the man had run into the room with a very worried look on his face. After that he claimed that he had zeen Reene being abducted and taken into a cave in the northmost part of the woods. We had all stopped eating in shock because this was the second time that it was happening. The first time it had happened, the men had killed themselves, and now this. The only mistake I had made was thinking that this was going to be a different situation, but in the end, it turned out to be wrong. The other descriptions that he had provided were vague at best and before we could get any other information from him, he took out his dagger from his clothes and slashed his throat. I Immediately got up from m
“Just this once pretty. Please." Greg whined clasping both of his hands. We got pretty close together over the twelve months of knowing each other. I clearly told him I wasn't ready to be in a relationship which he accepted only after trying so many times with no success. And I can't still believe that Greg owns the very bar where I worked. Even the gym center where Josh had took me to the day we went out together. I still find it hard to believe. Not that he's too small to own and manage two business but the way he managed to keep it a secret from me. Josh was the actually the one who told me and when I asked Greg, he just shrugged and said. “It's no big deal.” “Josh and Eshe will be there too.” Greg added just as I shoved a glass of water his way. Josh and Eshe are finally together as a couple, three weeks ago Josh moved in with her with an excuse of: I can't be far away from the love of my life. I might die. After Zayn acquired (DFB), Eshe quit saying she wish to fulfil
“The man you just introduced me to.” Greg started saying. “Is that your ex fiancee?” I nodded my head before accepting the glass of wine Eshe handed me muttering a low “Thank you."“He's cute." She said.“I think your he wants to swallow you up.” Josh said with a hint of annoyance and I couldn't help but turn my head around to the back.Sure enough at the far corner of the room where he sat with Jack, he was staring at me and maybe, just maybe it's my imagination but his curled into a small smile.I quickly withdraw my gaze taking my eyes to the front.“What the heck." My hands points to the front just as Josh turns his head.The art piece has just be unveiled and__ “Oh shit." Josh cursed as his head turned back and his eyes slowly found mine.And we both knew what was on the tip of our tongue. The very art piece I and Josh had planned on stealing, the very art piece that made me agreed to be Zayn's fake fiancee just so I could protect Josh. The very art piece I used my eyes to behol
“Hey man, you need to get your shit in order." Amad said from behind me.I turned around to face the mother fucker.“You should know that the last thing I want to see right now is your face. How did you even get into my office?”He snickered and poured himself a drink from my bottle of scotch sitting on the table.“I was only trying to help man and besides it's not my first time of coming into your office.”My hands curled into a fist but I refrained myself from doing anything crazy. “Did I ever tell you I needed your help? I was okay being with Kacie, but because of your stupid reasons of not liking her you went ahead and forced a lady to go for surgery that will make her look exactly like Alessandra.” his mouth moved to say something but I waved my hands to quiet him.“As if that wasn't enough you had the nerves to tell my mother about my complicated relationship with Kacie when you fully know now that my intentions and love for her are really genuine same as her. So don't you fucking
“So, why are you back in my house when you should be with Eshe?” I eyed Josh over as I handed him a plate of sausage, fried eggs, sandwich and steak: medium rare alongside a cup of plain coffee.“Did you just say 'my'?"I rolled my eyes. “I've living alone in the house for almost six months, so I should just begin calling it my house."He snorted loudly and grabbed his cup of steaming coffee.“Don't be scared, I'm did not come to take over the house sweetheart, I have something to talk to you about. But first, why was Zayn coming out of the house yesterday?"I shifted quite uncomfortably on my seat not liking the immediate change of the atmosphere in the room. “Is it something so serious?" I asked ignoring the part concerning Zayn.He nodded his head as he scraped the last morsel of egg on the plate.“Otherwise I wouldn't be here. I had wanted us talking about it yesterday night, but seeing how tired and pale your face looked I decided to just tell you about it today. Also, you're yet
“What will you like please?" I asked whoever was standing before me without lifting my eyes up from the tumbler I was arranging.“Tonic and gin.”“Okay.” I turned back to the stack of drinks arranged on the shelf behind me.“Here's your drink__" my words got trapped in my throat as I stared at the man sitting before me.“Kacie?" He voiced out.“Y-Yes, I'm Kacie." I managed to say as I took the man in. Green eyes just that his were a little dark than mine. His hair color. This man sitting here__this man is my father.“Can we go out and talk, don't worry I talked to your boss already so you're free to come with me. If you want to." He added stressing out the 'if I want to'“Sure. Let's go." I ignored the voice yelling in my head that I barely know this man, I only found out two days ago that I have a father and mother other than the monster and beast who brought me up. But somehow I quickly felt safe the moment I laid my eyes on this man.I took a quick glance at Olivia who was standing
I sat down outside patiently waiting for Kacie to return back home from work. It's been two hours past the time her shifts normally end. I'm beginning to lose my patience, I really need to see her face. To hold her hand.The sound of a car driving in pulled my head up and made me stop fidgeting with my fingers.My eyes lowered down to the hands of Greg wrapped around her tiny waist and heaven knows I want to rip his flesh out of his damn bone.They both couldn't see me where I was sitting on her stairs giving Greg dangerous glares. To crown it all he kissed her on her forehead before going into his car. Hell she was even smiling and waving at him.I sat still and waited for her to come meet me and the shock on her face seeing me sitting there with my arms folded is priceless. “What are you doing here?" She asked quietly.“What does it look like pumpkin? I'm here to see you of course."She scoffed and brushed past me going to open her door. “Are you coming in or not?"“You don't need
I stared on as Zayn's mother breathing slowed down. I wasn't so sure if what I applied on her affected leg would help.The antidote I used was given to me by my late grandmother, I was little then__I never thought a time would come when I will have to use it. I've tried my best, the least I could do now is to wait for her to fight her way back because as it is now my life might as well be entwined with hers.I kept back the towel I used in calming her temperature down inside a bowl of water and carried it up to take it to the kitchen.“Don't you think we should take her to the hospital or should I call our family doctor?" Zayn asked from behind where he's been standing ever since I asked him to come back.“She will be fine.” I said. Even to my ears I sounded very unconvincing. “Let's leave her to rest, the venom will flow out of her system In a few minutes.” or hours.“After that you can take her to the hospital." I added so he might be at ease a little.“I'll just stay here with her.
