2021-03-02 20:38:12Phoebe’s POV
“You’re distracted” Ava states simply and I break out of my reverie to look at
“What? No, I’m just...” I trail off not knowing what excuse to give and huff holding the golden retriever puppy closer to my chest. The furry creature whimpers and cuddles further into my embrace to seek warmth whilst I stroke his fur lovingly. I was more of a cat person than a dog but this puppy was beyond gorgeous and cute. The dog aka Tarynn belonged to Savita. Since Savita was busy using her break by spending her entire day in the spa, I stayed back and volunteered to take care of her dog.
Tomorrow’s the grand ball and the whole staff was resting. It was pouring outside heavily and the sound of rain hitting the glass was a comfort to my distraught self.
“I feel so disconnected from myself Ave,” I say honestly and look down to see the puppy asleep in my arms.
Ava sighs and pokes

Phoebe’s POVI was applying highlighter on my cheek-bones when Ava burst inside my room with a grim expression on her face.I stop mid-way with the brush still in my hand and before I can ask her what’s wrong, she blurts out saying, “I slept with Andres”For a moment I thought I went deaf after hearing what she said. My eyes widen with a shock when I finally register her words and I stare at her dumbfounded.What the actual fuck?!“When…how?!” I wave my hand at her and she sighs like a child who had her first kiss. Except she wasn’t happy, she looked torn with her deeds.“I know I know it sounds so… I don’t even know what to nameit. I was angry with Noah when I saw Camille exit his room last night when I was fetching water for myself. Andres also saw it, we were talking, then I kissed him, then we were making out and it felt so good t

Blaze’s POVI was doing the buttons of my white dress shirt when I had the urge to check my iPhone for the nth time. It was so pathetic. No woman has ever managed to throw me off guard like Phoebe Carter. Then again I don’t blame her. I mean it’s not every day you see a half-dead man in a cellar.Nope not at allMy sweet beautifulAmorewasn’t supposed to see that and now I felt like punching Andres right in the face for being such a clumsy idiot. If he wasn’t my best friend, he would’ve been six feet under the ground by now. Like the responsible man I was, I always cleaned up after my best friend's mess.And unfortunately, two of those messes have been witnessed by Phoebe.She wasn’t supposed to see this side of me.Poor girlThat sight must have been too much for my delicate rose.

Phoebe’s POV“What is with the men being so possessive after one night stands. I thought it only happened in those cliché novels” Ava mutters exasperatedly and I give her my questioning stare in return.“Why what happened?”“Did you not see what Andres did an hour ago at the auction dance? He literally bid two hundred thousand fucking dollars for a dance with me! Like what the fuck?”“You mean that dance over whichbothAndres and Noah were fighting over?” I wiggle my eyebrows suggestively and she flips me the bird.“Don’t even start withthat” She rolls her eyes and resumes her gaze back at the dance floor where a few couples were dancing to James Bay’s‘Us’.I was thankful for not being a participant in the dance auction because I had a slight feeling that no matter how big the pri

Phoebe’s POVThe sunlight was streaming inside the room, almost blinding me with its rays even though my eyes were closed. I reluctantly open them and squint at the harsh glare of the sunshine and stretch my sore body on the bed like a feline. The corner of my lips tug into a Cheshire grin as I enjoy the softness of the Egyptian cotton sheets, however, my smile drops as soon as I spot the vacant place beside me.Did he leave?My brows scrunch into a frown as I place my hand on his side and find it slightly warm. He probably woke up a few minutes earlier than me. Before I let my thoughts run wild, I flop back down on the litter of silk brown pillows.The shrill ringing of my phone breaks me out of my reverie and wrapping the duvet around my body, I try to get up.As I said, I try.I cringe as soon as I stand. Pain shoots all over my lower abdomen and my back from last night’s exertions and my kne

Phoebe’s POVAfter hoursThe Weeknd’s ‘After Hours’ song was exactly what my life felt at the moment except I wasn’t crooning about unprotected sex and wanting babies.Speaking of babies, I screw my eyes shut when one of the kids from the nearby booth wails his lungs off. I mean seriously, why can’t these parents just discipline their kids properly? It wasn’t like I hated children, I do love them. Like Kyle’s daughter Sophie for instance, the mere thought of that angel makes my heart brim with happiness.“You know what? I’m one step away from strangling that kid!” Ava groans out and clutches her head tightly in her hands as she shoots daggers at the bratty kid who is still bawling his eyes out over some milkshake, much to our annoyance.“Hey! Easy there! I don’t think that the peaceful citizens of Seattle would appreciate a display of child abuse

Phoebe’s POVI stare at the maroon-colored envelope with disdain when I notice the gold engraved ‘W’ in the midst of the smooth hard paper.Placing it back on the kitchen counter, I stroll towards the beige leather couch and flop down on it.The cool leather makes contact with my bare back-side as the white silk material of my robe rides up. I honestly never bother to put many clothes whenever I’m inside the safe confines of my home, which has become a habit, ever since I started living on my own.My mind keeps on wandering back to the maroon envelope that contained yet another trip to doomland. The Woodward’s were hosting their annual gala and this time Ihaveto attend. Why if you ask me? It’s simply because my beloved parents can’t make it.Over the last eight years, I’ve avoided this event at all costs, much to my parent’s disappointment but now that I thi

Phoebe’s POVThe cool water feels refreshing against my hands as I keep them under the running water of the sink. As much as I would love to splash cold water over my face, I don’t want to ruin my make-up.I think I’m still in shock over what happened. As soon as Blaze saw me, I quickly excused myself from Uncle Ryan and bolted towards the powder room. For a moment I considered staying here until the dinner is served but the thought seemed quite ridiculous.If someone told me three weeks back that I’ll be attending this Gala only to avoid someone else instead of Nate, I would’ve totally laughed my ass off. Now that I’m really in this situation, I don’t even know what to do. If the circumstances were different, I would’ve probably ended up calling Alana to hear her wise words but now, I’m not so sure that I even want to see her face, let alone listening to her voice.Great! Now I ne

Ten years ago, if anyone told me that Iāll be marrying someone as magnificently amazing as Blaze Hunter. I wouldāve probably laughed my ass off.

Phoebe’s POV“Huh, I totally get what you were saying when you went to visit my parents.Christ, I’m literally one step away from hyperventilating” Blaze mutters with a grimace as he fixes the shirt collar of his midnight blue shirt in the mirror.I break in a fit of cackle behind him as he puts on his black blazer over his broad shoulders. My mouth waters as I stare at the mouth-watering specimen in front of me.He sends me a warning glare before saying, “Ciccino, don’t give me that look”I look at him innocently, something that Ava’s Persian white kitten does with her after breaking her dishes or pooping outside the litter box.“What look?” I blink my eyes in mock confusion and watch him narrow his eyes at me.He starts sauntering in my direction like a predator nearing his prey and raises my face by using two of his fingers underneath my ja

I thought that maybe if I left him, things will be better for him. I mean who wants to burden themselves with a mentally sick girlfriend in their lives?I thought that he’d jump right into the arms of another woman, but he didn’t.

Blaze’s POV“I’m so sorry but I can’t do this anymore, Blaze. I’m tired of you. I’m tired of constantly being left in the dark. I’m tired of your possessive nature. You always hurt me and I can’t keep ignoring the fact that you have tons of secrets that I have no clue on. I hope you move on with some new girl. It would make me happy. I always had commitment issues Blaze…which is why I can’t do this anymore. Please, don’t contact me from now on”Her written words keep circling inside my head like some endless loop that won’t just fuckingstop!I feel like killing myself for always being such an arse. I always feared for this day to come, the day when Phoebe will finally realize that she’s better off without me.I have this really strong feeling that Diana might be somehow involved in Phoebe’s sudden departure because the last t

Phoebe’s POV“What mistake, Aves?” I inquire skeptically as I register her forlorn expression. It was like someone was tearing her heart out and honestly speaking, it was kind of sad to witness.She lets out a deep sigh and faces me with a determined look.“I guess it’s time I told you the truth. Remember the time when I told you that I was seeing someone…” She says and seeing my confused face, she clarifies further, “I mean the guy you never met. It was during my last year in college before my internship atVanity”That is when the fog inside my memory lifts.Of course, the mystery guy to whom Ava lost her virginity to and the one that none of our friends ever saw“Ah, you mean the one for whom you used to ditch us back in college?” I decide to tease her and just like I expected, her face reddens like a ripe tomato.“Oh sh
Fatal InfatuationĀ Ā Ā 34 | Painful Decisions
Phoebe’s POVThe beeping sound of machines is the first sound I hear as I open my eyes only to be greeted with the cold sterile atmosphere of the hospital walls.Weirdly enough, my body doesn’t really hurt as I expected it to after the car crash. After blinking my eyes open, I make out the vague outline of a middle-aged nurse in blue scrubs, jotting down something on the clipboard.As if sensing my consciousness, she looks up with a wide smile and flashes me her pearly whites.“Ciao cara, come ti senti?” I frown in confusion at the language that she’s speaking and watch her smile falter upon seeing my confused state.She spews a few more words in a language that I presume is Italian and holds up three of her fingers frantically, waving them in front of my face.What the fuck…Did they admit me with lunatics or what? Where the fuck am I even?Shit, is
Fatal InfatuationĀ Ā Ā 33 | The Crash
Phoebe's POVI look at her with my mouth gaped open in disbelief. My hands shake with fear as she saunters towards me like a predator circling its prey.“How on earth…?” I trail off in confusion.“How on earth I know that you’re a bloody killer?” She probes mockingly and I cringe at her word usage.A bloody killer, huh!As much as troublesome the word sounds, it’s truly fitting in my case. But what I’m trying to grasp is the fact of how she knowsthis. My parents completely made sure that this information stays away from the public eye then how the fuck does she know?The records were wiped clean to the point that even if Sherlock Holmes starts looking for this information; he will come bare-handed.I clench my hands into fists to stop them from shaking and keep my face impassive, something I’ve become a pro at over the years.“
Fatal InfatuationĀ Ā Ā 32 | Meet The Ex
Phoebe's POVI think all the air evaporates from my body as I whip my head to look in her direction again. Only this time, I scrutinize herproperlyfrom head to toe. I instantly cringe when I register her magnetic presence.She wasawfully gorgeousI feel my hands fist on their own accord when I see Blaze’s eyes still locked with her.Her beautiful symmetrical face was visible to me as she removed her silver mask. She was wearing a silver organza gown which accentuated her hourglass figure and unfortunately, she didn’t look like the slutty type of ex you read about in novels. She looked very well-groomed. Her wavy platinum blond hair was pulled into a loose chignon bun and her make-up was minimal like mine.However, my vision loses her when I feel Blaze literallydragme away from her like I’m some rag doll and she’s a bully who’s about to snatch awa
Fatal InfatuationĀ Ā Ā 31 | Say Your Apologies
Phoebe’s POVGreat! Just what I need– Note the sarcasm“Noah” My voice is chilled like ice as I turn to face him. Even though` his half-masked face, I can see that he’s desperate. His normally vibrant brown eyes now look dull with no light in them. I wince when I see his lost expression and it was obvious that he’s been through a lot.Christ, was I THAT harsh to him?“Can we please talk, Phoebe?” He repeats his question and seeing him almost on the verge of tears, my anger thaws a little.I nod my head silently and look at the vast crowd that’s starting to gather underneath the huge made-up tent. I couldn’t see Blaze anywhere. I know that he would blow afucking gasketif he finds out that I’m talking with Noah, knowing how possessive he is but honestly, I don’t know what to do.
