"I suppose, if I say you didn't heard our conversation, would it be a lie?"

"I'm sorry."

I heaved a deep sigh and closed my eyes for a moment, before opening them again. "How much?"

"H-Half, when your mother started to speak." He stuttered and sat down on the chair, which was placed beside the broken isle. "Here, your water." I slid the filled glass towards him. "Thankyou and I'm sorry once again." He mumbled and grabbed the glass. Gulping it in one go, he heaved a deep sigh.

"That's why you were always so emotional when someone mentioned your father?"

I could have laughed at his question, though I wasn't amused at all. The smallest secret I held was now like an open book. Once, I had swore, if the truth of my life came out, I'd go take my life, one way or the other.

I shrugged and opened the wooden cabinet, where I stuffed my junk.

Grabbing a pack of cigarette, I opened the cap and placed the deadly stick between my lips, whilst tossing the half filled pack next to him.

    Zachariah;All I saw was red.Not the red on her body but the thick red that beautifully adorned his bruised face.My orbs flickered to her covered body. The silky rob which she earlier took off, was now loosely secured on her making her look insanely captivating.She kept starring the ground.The intensity within them, painfully squeezed my heart."Are you fucking insane? What if I was a second late? What if they actually raped you there? What if they killed your mother?" Jason furiously yelled. One could see the burning steam coming out of his ears. "Are you even fucking listening, young lady?" He snarled.A tired hum came from infront of me. "I'm fine. Fine." She repeated the same words whenever Jason scolded her.Nathaniel placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head, mumbling a few words I couldn't decipher out. Jason turned towards me. "Talk to her." He said and walked out of her room, with Nathaniel following behind.Jason closed the door and I diverted my attention back to

    "Do you think she is going to be okay?""I bet yes.""What makes you say that?""Our girl is strong."Loud voices entered my ears, jolting me awake from my deep slumber. "The fuck are you all doing in my room?" I groggily yelled and yawned. "See, all pearls and sunshine.""Huh?" My brows furrowed and I gazed at Jason with a snarl. "Did I ask you to speak?"His lips pursed and his orbs momentarily flickered to my right side. "Zachariah, this is how you talk to your savior. Learn from her in the future." My head whipped towards my side and my eyes bulged out, the sleep long gone. "W-Wait, what are you doing h-here?" I stuttered."Don't you remember?" His husky tone entered my ears and he got up from his laying position.I shook my head instantly. "You didn't let my hand go, even when I tried and all you mumbled was 'stay by side' so I couldn't leave you alone." He inched forward and sat next to me, whilst tilting his head.I gulped. How embarrassing!A shyness overcame me as I straighte

    "I still don't think that we should bunk."I narrowed my orbs at him and smacked his forearm. Oh those hard, juicy muscles, I wanna lick them and-- Ugh shut up, dirty Tina. "For the love of God, Zachariah, if you say this sentence one more time, I'll throw on the streets and beat you up.""We can except that from---the almighty Viper." He mumbled while turning the steering wheel left. I cocked my brow, "you knew?""Jason and Nathan accidently conversed infront of me." He shrugged."Do you think it's disgusting?"He side-eyed me and shook his head. "Not at all but instead in my opinion it's hella cool, afterall only gutsy girls can obtain a title like you have."A small smile threatened to curl up but I kept my face blank. "People think girls are weak and this concept usually makes one sad. So the girls usually sit down and let everything happen to them." I drawled out, tilting my head towards him.Zachariah Diaz, the most handsome man of our school. And right now I felt blessed to be

    "Should I bring you some of our new arrivals?"I nodded without turning towards the sales girl as I went through the racks. "Can't I stay o-outside." He hissed under his breath. "No." My one word halted his movements."But why?"Before I could answer, another girl came towards us with a small smile. "Please follow me." She turned around and I followed her with Zachariah hot on my trail."Here are the new arrivals." The same girl replied who had left before. "Would you like bold colors or cute ones?"My eyes skimmed the lingerie and to be honest every single was my favorite one however I could only buy a pair or so because the money I received from the previous fight which was with that bastard---Deus, was already spent on the dresses, I bought earlier."Ma'am?"I looked up and tilted my head towards him.He was furiously blushing and if one didn't knew, they would think he was choking on some air hold. "Zar?" I innocently mumbled.He stiffened beside me."What?" He questioned, his voi

    Hot, fucking hot.Almost like a flowing lava that could burn your flesh.My eyes remained fixed on his, as I pressed the intercom and mumbled the burning sentence. "Can you bring a sheer lace one, in the color, red?"If he was going to play the game, then why would I fucking back down?The specs of blue moons in his eyes were glimmering with an emotion I couldn't put my finger on. The white light brought the rough lines of his face to life and for once he looked extra sexy---not that he didn't look everyday but today mine was an exception.I liked the way he was pressed against me. The softness of my body molding against the hard rigids of his. It felt nice...good.Zachariah stared deeply into my eyes for a brief moment. And then he tilts his head backwards. "Aren't you a freaky one?" He whispers against the soft silence.My finger leaves the intercom. The same hand travelled up his chest in the slowest way possible. "And you are not? Boyfie. Others might not know but you are hiding s

    "Is he ignoring you?"My brow rose and I simply gave Flora a half hearted shrug. "Am I supposed to know?""Shouldn't you?" She interlinked her arm with me.I once again shrug. As we both walked side by side towards the ground to attend our free period, my mind took me back to the day after we had done our shopping. It had been three days? Or could be more, since I barely saw him afterwards. Either he wasn't present or either he perfectly ignoring me. Whatever it was, it was messing with my brains.Oh and did I forget to mention? My mum wasn't a tad bit surprised when I told her I boxed to get the frustration out of me and that those men were the ones who messed with me and my friend's club, infact her chest had swelled with pride.Weird? I know right."Let's grab a ball or something?" She asked and I shook my head in a no. "Maybe you could go and play, I'll just sit for a while."She gave me a quick side glance. "And you think I'll leave you all alo---""Flora, our practice!" Two girl

    He was here a moment ago, kissing me.I let out a strangled breath as I inch up, elevating myself with the help of my elbows."Now tell me, why were you crying?" He sat on the chair with his one leg draped over the other and his arms crossed over his chest.I sit, lowering my skirt to cover however my hand abruptly halt when he growled under his breath, daring me no. My gaze moved towards him and to my surprise I found him starring at me.I shrug and disobeyed him, hiding away the red from his stare, getting a grunt. "That was just not nothing, Celestina. No one cries like that.""Were you watching me?" I questioned instead.He quirks his brow in return.I heave a deep sigh and lean back on my hands, tilting my head up towards the ceiling. "You can go back to your 'i'm ignoring you' expression, it was much better."He scoffs. "Trust me, it was. Scar was begging me to come back to my original self and for some reason it cuts the tension you were giving me."I roll my eyes at the mentio

    "Do I look okay?"Flora gives me prolonged stare. "If you say it once again, I'll fucking bash your head."I sheepishly smiled."Don't give me that. You already know you look hot, so why being self-conscious?"I shrug and lean backwards.The past fifteen minutes, we were sitting idly in the parking lot with several other expensive cars lingering beside us. If one thing I would comment on this family---it was, hella luxurious.And to put a cherry on top, we were more than half an hour late. Zachariah even called me a few times which I ignored to the fullest."It's about Scarlett, yes?"I close my eyes for a bare moment before opening them once again."Nailed it. But why?""I don't know...The way he looks at her is different from the way he looks at me."Flora sighs, giving me one of her best glares she could muster. "Babe, you should be happy that the way he looks at you is different." My eyebrows scrunch and she further elaborates, giving me her full attention. "Remember I told you,

    Ten painful minutes.It had been ten minutes since I was sitting here in Mr. Diaz's office and him staring at me like a hawk.My lips parted, attempting to start a conversation between us but he was faster than me. "Sorry to call you here on a short notice but I have been wanting to talk to you alone, ever since I saw you earlier."I clammed my fingers around each other and I nodded, ever so slightly, replying, "what did you want to talk about?"His stare turned into the slightest glare, as he leaned back on the couch."I'll not beat around the bush, so let me ask you this straight, do you have a thing for Zachariah?"My breath immediately hitched and my a line of shiver ran down my spine, there and then.Did I have a thing for him? Yes. Maybe, even greater than the feeling of infatuation, but would I tell him---his dad? Simply, no. I just couldn't, not even to Emilia.I was about to deny, but he casually exclaimed, as if he knew what I was about to to do. "Before you reply, think wis

    I stared at the wall.Stared and just stared.Well, what was I supposed to do? After he left me all hot and bothered.And to put a cherry on top, that fucker smirked, smirked!"Are you gonna sulk like an idiot?"My head whipped towards Flora who had a glass of red juice in her hand as she leaned against the wall with a lazy smile adorning her face.I gave her a quick scan over. She was now wearing the same dress, in which we had entered before."Party's over?"She hummed, coming inside, with my dress in her other hand.Why didn't I notice it before? "Change and be downstairs. Apparently everyone decided to watch a movie." She mumbled, throwing the dress and my pantie at me which I swiftly caught.I gave her a blank nod, not before asking, "won't you ask what happened?""Whenever you're ready because I'm hoping it to be extra juicy." She gave out a light chuckle and in return I rolled my eyes. "Horny fuck."She laughed out again and walked out, closing the door behind her.My lungs ex

    The world around me felt insanely hazy.Black, and turned off.And honestly I did prefer it that way, after everything that took place in my life.It was beyond just the universe, and above the horizon."Celestina, open your eyes."My body slightly stirred up at the sound entering in my ears. "Open up." The voice again demanded yet again near my face and at the very same time it felt so far away from my reach."Why isn't she waking up?" The light airy whispered, providing me a sense of comfort.The other didn't speak, however they did touch my forehead and this seemed to clear the haze and finally my eyes peeled open.The first thing my eyes met, were the blueish green orbs I loved more than anything in this goddamn universe."Oh thankgod. Tina, you fucking scared us."I broke off the eye contact, and tilted my head sideways to see a frightened Flora, kneeling next to my body."Chill, Lora."She gasped and gave me her infamous glare. "Chill? If it weren't for Zachariah, you'd be out o

    Three words; I hate attention.Most importantly, from those who looked like they'll punch each other dry."You, good?" Nathaniel sat beside me on the pool floor, with his legs dipped in like I had.My lungs expanded and I heaved in a deep sigh, before whispering, "why are they staring at me?"Nathaniel's brows scrunched as his line of sight followed mine towards the pool. Ryder, Noah, Zachariah were on one side while Alexander, Caleb, Ares and Apollo on the opposite. Funny, I had two Ares in my life---one that had kidnapped me, then saved me with his own hands and the other which was a jokester and a swimmer.The world is truly funny, no?"Just staring? I thought, they are glaring." Flora said, tilting her head up towards me.She was already in the pool taking in the coldness of it."Aren't you coming?" Apollo questioned for the fifth time.I shake my head. "No, not in a mood.""Common, don't be such a mood killer, pretty princess." Ares spoke from beside him, only for me to roll my e

    "So how do you like party so far?""Pretty good, and specially love the tenders you grilled."Emilia let out a soft laugh, as she massaged a thick layer of sunscreen on her arms. "Oh darling, it wasn't me, it was Nathan, Zach and Roberto."My eyes scrunched at the last name and she instantly mumbled Zachariah's dad."Hold on! The infamous Roberto Diaz is your husband?!" Flora screeched almost too loudly, making her laugh yet once again. "Yeah the poor wife of his is me.""No wonder I felt your name a bit familiar." She hummed to herself and I found myself getting confused. "Is he that famous?"Flora nodded at my question. "Girl, the news has said he runs the biggest chains of hotels and restaurants. And not to forget he has this company, called D.Co, news--this is one of the largest operating systems here in U.S and all over Europe."D.Co, where did I hear this word again?"And they are like billionaires."Emilia continued to apply, with a small smile. "Money doesn't buy everything Fl
