“What on earth are you doing, Pierce?” I whispered as I tried to tug my arm from his tight grasp. I smiled at Lancaster’s wife who watched us curiously. Fear filled my body as he pulled me along with unwavering resolve, Ignoring Lancaster’s wife as she tried to exchange pleasantries. I did not want to be alone with him, I could not. What if he quizzes me about my hospital visit and I cave? What if he asks me to get rid of the baby?

“Pierce stop.” I pleaded, full panic setting in. He was always keen on keeping our public appearance to near zero. Acting like this would certainly stoke the rumors and he would hate that, maybe hate me too. I was sure I heard a camera click as we walked past a table. Oh god. I turned back for a second to find my sister grinning mischievously at our retreating figures.

Tami’s glaring face was the last thing I saw before we rounded a corner. The wide hallway was empty.

“Pierce, please, you’re hurting my arm!” My voice betrayed my panic. I needed to reas

    “Is this seat taken?” she said with a smile as she drew an empty seat back and slipped into it. I was glad she wasn’t directly beside me. We had Adam between us. “It’s My-ra” Lily spoke up smiling at her. My innocent sister thought it was an honest mistake. “Oh.” Tami responded, while giving her a once over. Then she continued like no one had interrupted her. “I was just so alone at my table, and the only one of Pookie…I mean Pierce’s friends.” She corrected with a sly smile ”Is you. I hope you don’t mind that I’m here.” I pressed a hand into my thigh, and forced a smile in her direction. “No, not at all miss Tami.” Lily frowned at me. “So you do know him?” she whispered. “Doesn’t he look amazing up there?” Tami continued, her eyes glued to the stage, then she turned to the rest of us at the table. “Sometimes I can’t believe how close we are. And that handsome face comes with the most selfless person on earth. “ I tried to tune out her words and retreated into myself “Did I m

    I cleared my throat and smiled at Lily to assure her I was alright. “Is everything okay? You scared us for a minute.” Tami said sweetly. I nodded, avoiding Pierce’s eyes. If I looked at him I would crack. “I think I had the wrong drink.” I answered. Lily frownwed and pointed at the glass in front of Tami. “That’s your glass.” “What on earth are you talking about?” Tami asked, the irritation in her voice obvious. “Myra’s the only one wearing red lipstick tonight.” I looked at the cup in front of Tami and it was the only glass at the table with a red lipstick stain. She had switched out my cup. “Oh,” Tami chuckled, “I must have picked it up during your speech. My eyes were glued to the pair of you and that happened. My mistake.” Tami had her suspicions, which meant she could reveal them to Pierce and push him to insist that I got rid of my baby. Fear coursed through my veins and wrestled the impulse to reach for my glass of water. There was nothing strange about my behavior, I

    My heart dropped into my stomach. “Pierce?” “His assistant.” She mouthed as she extended the phone to me. Relief washed over me. “Trevor.” I said in greeting “Miss Myra. I was hoping Hannah would pass on this message, but I guess it’s my lucky day.” He said flatly. Always with the sass. ”Mr. Blackwood wants me to let you know of an appointment with him tomorrow.” “I don’t have any.” “Well you do now. Be in his office by 10 am-and Myra? Let’s try not to get on his nerves by refusing to show up. we both know how he gets.” The phone went dead in my hand. Trevor was well suited to Pierce. “Well?” Hannah asked: “Pierce ‘ordered’ me to show up at his office tomorrow.” Hannah whistled. “We both knew this was coming. Cutting Pierce Blackwood out of your life is going to be near impossible. He practically owns the studio you’re working in. I won’t be of much help but do you want me to come with you?” I sighed. “No, it’s fine. it’s not like he’s going to do anything to me

    I tried to pull away, but his grip on me only tightened. He pressed my body into his, as his lips swallowed my moan of protest, coaxing me to give in to him. It would be so easy to yield, to let Pierce have control and lead into the world of pleasure that he had introduced me to, but I had come here for a reason. He would not take me seriously if I kept kissing him back. Panic stricken I bit down on his lip. Hard, till he hissed and let go of me. “What the fuck!” He yelled as I wiped my mouth. We watched each other breathing heavily. “I told you already Pierce, we’re done.” “And I told you Myra it’s not your place to decide. Maybe I wasn’t clear before, Cut your bullshit act.” “Why are you being so difficult?” “Watch your tone.” He warned. and maybe I should have listened. “What do you want with me?” I ranted. Why was he insistent on having me when he had Tami unless he was trying to hurt me, but why would he do that, i had done nothing wrong to him. Then it occurr

    “Sarah, drop the British accent for fuck sake.” The director yelled at her for the umpteenth time while the rest of people on set groaned. “Your character is in present day New York, not having tea with the queen, we’ve gone over this a hundred times already. How many times do you want this scene repeated?“ I looked at the stage but my head was lost in the clouds thinking about Pierce. I was ashamed to admit it but I stayed up a couple extra hours in case he changed his mind and decided to join me. After our little argument in his office I knew that he would want to make a point. The way he did it with me was with pleasure. Pleasure tottering on the edge of pain, yet never crossing. A memory surfaced in my mind after my first interview with Gossip and dreams where the host had kissed my cheek. He had tied me to the bed in my apartment and teased me mercilessly, bringing me to the brink of orgasm over and over again, but never past that point. I swallowed and pressed my thighs t

She smiled sickly as she imagined her hands squeezing Myra’s neck and watching her choke played in her mind. Sarah’s arm on her shoulder snapped her back to reality. She suppressed a scathing look in Sarah’s direction and smiled instead. Luckily Sarah was too focused on herself. This was another woman she would enjoy bashing her head in. Her smile widened as another depraved image filled her head. Sarah mistook her smile for encouragement. “I just feel very underappreciated on this set. But that slut gets its all.” She whined. “Oh Sarah, I’m so sorry you go through that, Like I told you already, you’re an excellent actress, I think you should have gotten the lead role even.” “That’s what I’ve been saying! Why’s she so special with her ugly face,not that you have an ugly face, seeing as your faces are nearly identical.” She blushed at her blunder- “you are such a l

    I felt a blush crawl up my skin. “Does it really matter what she’s here for? Her family owns half the building, she can come in anytime. But she said something about an article. So she might be having an interview.” I divulged defensively. “Are you avoiding her?” Adams raised his eye brow suspiciously. “No” I lied. “Then give me one good reason you don’t want to be near her.” Because when she’s near all I can think of is the fact that while Pierce was with me, he was probably thinking of her.Like what a loyal friend would do, Adams never doubted the truth of the rumor about me and Pierce was not true, and there was no reason to let them find out the truth. “Fine. Just let me grab my stuff first. After your little adventure, I can go home.” Hopefully the time it took to grab my bag and fix my hair and makeup, she would be long gone. Of course I had no such luck. Tami was still in the studio, surrounded by attentive listeners and Sarah at her side like a proud peacock.

    He was here for Tami. He had missed every event I had invited him to, when he was not personally invited to it, but here he was whispering calming things to help her through her supposed nerves and being here to support her. A gnawing ache settled in my chest, making it hard for me to draw air into my lungs. I tapped Adams hand and he loosened his grip on me. “I need some air, it feels really stuffy in here.” “I’ll come with.” “No I want you to stay, I need someone to give me a recap of the interview and Jace is…well he’s Jace.” He was talking to a brunette wearing a headset with a microphone. She twirled her hair and bit her lip suggestively as she batted her lashes at him. “Stay, okay?” I bit out, barely able to keep a rein on my emotions. I passed for okay because he let me off without a second thought. Quickly I retreated from the set. I wasn’t even sure where I was headed, I just kept moving. When I reached an empty hallway with no witnesses, my legs caved under

    My eyes glossed over the words scribbled on the long piece of paper, words that were written in different techniques a testament to her state of mind throughout the process. The ink trailed off in some parts, like the pen had slipped from her hand mid-word. Some of the letters looked like they were melting, thinned and faint, as if she'd been holding the pen too loosely, some were in her normal writing light, tall strokes that showed penmanship assisted by frail hands while other parts were pressed in hard, the ink so dark it bled slightly through the back of the page. I could almost see her hand shaking, or pressing down with too much force, then lifting, uncertain. Like she had stopped and started a hundred times. ‘My sweet girl,’ the letter began, ‘I don’t know how to start this. I’ve written and rewritten these words in my head for years, but now I’m running out of time and I can’t avoid it anymore.’ The ink was deeper at the end of the letter like she had held the pen there,

    “Dear brothers and sisters we are gathered here today not only to mourn the passing of our beloved Joanna Thompson, but to celebrate…” I kept my eyes focused on the priest as he stood over my mother’s grave, saying his final words. I could barely believe two weeks has passed since mum died. Time seemed to be flying by in a blur, and I would not have gotten through it without Hannah. She rubbed my shoulder tenderly, her head leaning against mine as she listened to the priest. If not for her, Angie and Carter, I would’ve lost my mind about not finding my sister. A deep ache settled in my chest. Till now, we had not heard a word from her. All the movement we had done to get away from dad had thought her a thing or two about disappearing. Save for a single text, saying she was fine, we had gotten nothing else. “As we bid farewell to our beloved Joanna, let us pray that they may rest in piece. Eternal rest grant unto…” There was about twenty people present. The staff, my friends…th

    I blinked once, twice as the sounds around me dimmed to a buzz. I could see Genevieve’s moving but I could not hear a sound out of them. A hand on my shoulder brought me out of my daze and I gasped like I had not been breathing. “I think she’s gonna fall.” Someone muttered before hands enfolded me. “No!” I snapped and stepped away from them, my voice breaking. I licked my lips nervously, my eyes on Genevieve. “Where’s mum?” “I came to do a routine check this morning and she was still asleep when I came in. But when I checked a few minutes ago, she was…she wasn’t breathing.” She said, her face holding sympathy. “What do you mean she wasn’t breathing-but she’s fine now right?” “Myra…” “Right?!” “You should wait for the doctor, to tell you more, Ill get-“ “No! She was completely fine yesterday, nothing was wrong?” I said confused, clinging to the chair underneath me that Hannah had forced me into. Terminal lucidity…the doctor’s words played in my head, and everything seeme

    When I got home later that evening nothing could douse the warm feeling that had blossomed in my chest from watching mum and Heidi. The sound of her hearty laughter played in my head and I smiled to myself as I opened the door to my apartment. The last time she had laughed like that was with Pierce. My smile faltered, like it had when I thought of him earlier. Did he know of mum’s recent accident? Of course he did, he was given information on whatever happened to her. But why didn’t he visit her since? I knew he had not because I went through the trouble of asking Genevieve. I know I said I wanted him to stay away from me, but I did not evoke his visits to my mother, not when he made her happy. Maybe I should talk to him… Nope. Absolutely not. If he was staying away, then I would not seek him out. I would use this time away from him to build whatever crack he had made in my walls. I stepped into the house to find Angie hovering outside the door of my room. Then, I heard

    After several hours of talking to mum like we were strangers. We decided it was time to leave. The important thing was that she was doing okay, health wise. She had all the time in the world to remember us. My mood immediately darkened remembering what the doctor had said when she pulled me aside. She flashed a sad smile at me, before she spoke… “It pains me yo say this Myra, but it would be a lot worse if I don’t say anything.” “W-what are you talking about?” “There is a phenomenon we experience with terminal patients where they get a burst of energy before they…pass on-“ I snorted disbelievingly, then frowned “are you saying my mum is going to die.” “I’m not saying she will definitely. It’s a thing we have to inform families about, incase this is your last moments with her.” I had told Lily about it and all we could do was watch her from outside, while fighting our own internal battles. Lily left the hospital earlier. I was only convinced to leave by Hannah when she promi

    Myra’s POV I slept soundly till the sound of my ringing phone woke me up. It couldn't be morning yet, could it? I wondered as I reached through the sheets for my cell. Three days had passed since the accident and I spent most of it in the house staying in a sour mood. Hannah had stopped by the day after the accident to ask if I really wanted Heidi. For the right reasons. I had gotten upset at the question, but answered sincerely. I had thought about it. And I wasn’t getting her as a replacement for Yvette, which I knew they all thought. Even Lily. All she did was sigh and told me she would help me, because she had contacts. So for three days. I had been hovering around the house, waiting. I took a second to check the time, sitting upright when I read the caller ID. “Hello?” I asked, all traces of sleep leaving my eyes. It was one in the morning and I was getting a call from my mother’s hospital. That did not hold a promise for good things. “Hi. Myra Thompson. So sorry for

    Pierce‘s POVHe was driving, but he wasn’t sure where. He had had to keep moving. Far away. where she would not look at him like he was the last person she wanted to see on earth. Crazy how it wasn’t the first time, but this time, at that hospital it sank in. Maybe because he had seen how close she and Carter had gotten. Or the fact that she didn’t want to see him after her accident while he was on the edge of hysteria with worry. All he had wanted to do was touch her. To convince his frantic heart that she was still there. She was safe and out of harm's way, but she could barely even look him in the face. He had fucked things up, so bad. For years he had been in love with her without knowing what it was. He’d catch himself watching her while they were in the apartment. An escape, No, he was falling right at her feet with love. When he read that text message she’d sent about them being over he had sent him into a panic. One he had not been ready to admit to. Admitting to it, was ad

    “Pierce…” his name slipped out of my mouth before Incould stop it. Hannah crushed me in her arms unperturbed.“I was so worried, when Carter called and told me about the accident, I thought…God I’m so hlad you’re okay!” I forced my eyes away from Pierce and focused on Hannah. “I’m fine I promise.”“What is he doing here?” Carter muttered. I was painfully aware of him approaching the bed. With determined steps till Carter blocked his path to me. “What do you think you’re doing?” He challenged Pierce. “I just need to make sure she’s okay.” He answered in a dejected tone. I swallowed, my chest felt like it was caving in at the weight of my emotions. On one end, I wanted to cry into anybody’s shoulder, really. But I also wanted to tell him that the reason my heart was breaking was because I watched a random stranger die. And even though she was a grown woman with her own child. The feeling that pounded in my chest was the same as how I felt when I was holding Yvette’s lifeless body in

    When the medics came, I moved away from the car, my eyes still glued to the wreckage. Nicole had only passed out, I told myself. It wasn’t a big deal, they would get her out of there and take her to the hospital. A tiny body ran past me, and was grabbed by one of the attending first responders. “Mummy!” Heidi cried as she struggled in his arms. I tose to my feet quickly and walked up to them. “Take her to the ambulance and check her wounds, see if there’s anything major.” Another medic told the one holding her. “Give her to me. I’ll take her.” When I glanced at the car, I saw that the men working were placing a took under the car to keep it from collapsing further. On the other side, two men stood with a plier like object. They wanted to cut into it, I realized. “You’re the one the caller told us about? You got the girl out?” The guy holding crying Heidi asked. I nodded and reached for her.
