His Assassin's Love chapter thirteen
GERALD'S POV I stood in front of my mirror staring at my outfit with uncertainty. Now that Paula and I weren’t on speaking terms, I wasn’t completely sure about what I was wearing. Usually, I wouldn’t care what I wore, especially if it concerned important occasions regarding my father. But this time was different. I was going with Silvia. I had to look good.I checked my diamond-encrusted watch and decided to leave. It was getting late. I took my black blazer and left my room. I came to a stop in front of Paula’s room, and just as I was about to knock, her door flew open. Her eyes aligned with mine, and they were not happy. My eyes trailed down her body, and I could not lie: she looked amazing. She was always in shorts and jeans; it was almost impossible to catch her in a dress.The light blue material hugged her body like a second skin. It stopped at her upper thigh, revealing her perfectly tanned legs. Her stilettos and makeup matched the color of her outfit, and her dark hair fell
His Assassin's Love Chapter fourteen
GERALD'S POV "Luckily, none of her vital organs were damaged. But she lost a lot of blood and will have to spend a few days under supervision." I think that's what the doctor said because I wasn’t even listening. I didn’t give a damn about anything. All I wanted was for Silvia to show me those pretty eyes of hers and look at me like she always did. Like I was the craziest person in the world.But that was too much of a dream, and the facts still remained. I was the one who brought her out tonight. She was on this fucking hospital bed because of me. Why in hell did I think it was a good idea to get close to her? Apart from Paula, everyone I have ever cared about ended up six feet beneath the earth before I even got the chance to tell them I loved them.And no, I don’t love Silvia.I just… I don’t know. I like her a lot.My grip on her hand tightened a bit, but not enough to hurt her. Paula was outside speaking to the head of security at the ball. They better find out who did this and
His Assassin's Love chapter fifteen
GERALD'S POV The regret in Silvia’s eyes as I pulled away turned those few seconds of bliss into a nightmare.She shut her eyes as though she could not bear to look at me; it hurt a lot more than I wished it did. I pulled my face away from hers and sat beside her on the chair. We stayed together in awkward silence, and I would occasionally shoot her a sideways glance. I really wanted us to talk about the kiss, but the way her eyes inspected every inch of the ceiling told me she wanted to forget it as soon as possible.But surely she should have felt what I felt when our lips met. Or am I just sick again?I sighed before deciding to ask, "Do you want some food?" Instead of giving me a verbal response because I really wanted to hear her voice right now, she nodded. I shot to my feet and walked towards the door. I did not want to leave her alone for even a second, but I had to get her something to eat or I would end up watching over a corpse.I shut the door behind me and was surprised
His Assassin's Love chapter sixteen
SILVIA'S POV After Gerald showed up at the hospital with a bruise on his face with the rest of the team, we quickly finished up everything we needed to do. Gerald refused to tell me about how he got the bruise; as a matter of fact, he seemed to be avoiding me. I tried briefing him on what we did in the first half of the project, but he said he preferred Jessica to tutor him.Whatever the hell that meant.And to be honest, I didn’t really ponder much about it, especially with the never-ending questions Jessica kept throwing at me as to why I was lying on a hospital bed. The girl never did shut up. It was like the more I answered her questions, the more curious she became. What annoyed me the most was that I knew she didn’t care about me. To others, it might look like she did. But Paula was not the only one who could read people.Eventually, Jessica let it slide, and we put the finishing touches to our project. I occasionally caught Jessica staring at either me or Gerald, like she was
His Assassin's Love chapter seventeen
GERALD'S POV "Hey, Paula, there’s something I need to tell you." was the first thing I said as I entered my apartment. I was beyond exhausted after the events of the day. After Silvia had seen Jessica and I kissing, she vanished once again. She really was a master at that. I couldn’t even look at Jessica once she pulled away from me. I don’t know what made me not push her away. Maybe it was the comfort or the surprise of her actions. Or maybe I was just too stunned to move.I have kissed many girls, but with Jessica it felt different. It felt wrong.I couldn’t get the image of Silvia’s teary eyes out of my head. Why was she crying? Maybe she…. No, she couldn’t have feelings for me. She had a boyfriend, right? God, when did my life get so complicated?"Sure, what’s up?" Paula said, turning around on the high stool before the counter. I couldn’t help but admire how calm and relaxed she looked. She wore a pair of dark baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. Her hair was down and tangled, but she
His Assassin's Love chapter eighteen
SILVIA'S POV I groaned after hearing the knock on my door. I really did not want to move, I like where I am. Today has been nothing but a tornado of emotions, and all that is left is the damage. And I mean literal damage. The second I got home, I practically threw everything that I had on me. That included my bag, keys, clothes, and underwear. Then I just sat in the warm bathtub and played with the bubbles.Best stress reliever in the world, I’ll tell you that.And whoever was outside my door only wanted to give me more stress, both physically by getting up to answer the door and emotionally from whatever nonsense was going to come out of their mouth. They didn’t seem like they were willing to leave anytime soon because they have been hammering on my door for the past twenty minutes. My skin was beyond soaked now, and the water was getting cold.With a sigh, I took my time before getting out of the shower and putting on my favorite white, fluffy robe. I made sure to waste as much tim
His Assassin's Love chapter nineteen
Silvia’s PovInhaling sharply, I raised my hand and knocked on the familiar white door softly. I don’t know what I was doing at Gerald’s place at the tenth hour of the evening, but it was one of those very few things I did that I just could not explain. Maybe it had something to do with the other night when he showed up at my apartment. The way he looked at me, it hurt. I tried texting him several times but he wouldn’t pick up; he wasn’t in school either, so here I was again. Making sure he was okay.The door flew open, and I was met with a pair of deep blue orbs, but what surprised me was the redness at the corners. His hair was a mess, and he seemed to have more bruises than the last time I saw him. "Are you by any chance an underground boxer?" is what I found myself asking."Something like that," he chuckled as his lips lifted slightly. There was a brief pause between us. The silence was not awkward, but it wasn’t exactly comforting either."Uh, you came to my apartment wanting to
His Assassin's Love Chapter twenty
GERALD'S POV Where were these women?!Why was it, when I finally won, that the two of them left? They didn’t even stay to watch my victory. Now I was hauling a three-foot teddy bear all over the park and looking like a lost cow. Where the hell did they go? Were they together? That was highly unlikely, and even if they were, they would probably be killing each other by now. Actually, it would be more like Paula is killing Silvia. She didn’t exactly like Silvia, and she was stronger than her. I had to find them fast.I searched the entire park, and after thirty minutes my feet were killing me, and this teddy bear might as well be half my size. I considered getting rid of it, but then all my hard work would go to waste. Yes, it took a hell lot of concentration to actually hit those bullseyes.I felt a lot lighter when my eyes aligned with a familiar pair of silver eyes. I practically ran towards her; as I got closer to her, I realized that her eyes didn’t stay in one place. They were gl

SILVIA'S POV "Why did you bring me here?"I never thought that I would be back here after what happened last time.After I embedded a bullet in Paula’s skull.Gerald shrugs nonchalantly and says, "They sell good hot dogs and burgers here." He stepped out of the car, and I could do nothing but sit there in silence and confusion. I knew Gerald. He was rich. He was extravagant. He bought the best food or cooked at home. He would never come here."He will never forgive you for this."My heart flew out of my chest when my eyes fell on Gerald, he was staring right at me through the window. I almost missed it, but there was an emotion in his eyes that he was incredibly quick to hide. His eyebrows pulled together, and his lips formed a thin line. He was confused.I needed to get my act together. I was overreacting and becoming paranoid. I might end the day with a breakdown if I continue like this. I had to get a grip!I opened the door and smiled at Gerald warily. He was leaning against the
His Assassin's Love chapter thirty
SILVIA'S POV "I need to stop finding both of you like this."I was used to waking up from nightmares, but I never got used to waking up to one.My eyelids flew apart to make contact with the only man that has ever made my skin crawl with so much disgust and disdain. George stood at the foot of the bed, looking like the devil in his all black suit and tie. Other men in the room, I assume his bodyguards, but what caught my attention were the guns they all held tightly in their hands.My throat felt dry and my wide eyes slid towards Gerald. His eyes were angry and feral as they glared at his father. I looked terrified and I felt my heart skip a beat. I did not know why. His anger wasn’t directed at me, so why did I feel this way?"What are you doing here?" Gerald demanded through clenched teeth. I felt a weight on my abdomen, and it was then I realized his arm was wrapped around it protectively. The weight was on my abdomen, but the one I felt in my heart was heavier. Something did not
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-nine
GERALD'S POV I have never seen anyone so sad in my entire life.The life and light in her eyes just died when she ended that call. Her body was as still as a board, and I have absolutely no idea how she has been awake without moving for so long. Her silver orbs have been trained on my ceiling ever since. I just sat beside her, feeling so helpless, and scrolling through my phone. I was at least glad she was here when she was going through all this. Her presence was healing me just like mine was with hers.But that’s not the only thing I can be useful for."Hey, wanna get something to eat?" I asked but got no response in return. "Silver eyes?" I tried again but got nothing. I went to grab her foot, but she flinched back the moment our skin made contact. "Jesus, you are hot as lava." I was soon shuffling to my knees on the bed and coming to kneel beside her. I placed the back of my hand on her head, and she released a low hiss. "You’re burning up," I said more to myself than to her.Thi
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-eight
SILVIA'S POV ~~~~~~~~~~one hour earlier. ~~~~~~Their screams were music to my ears.I bet this is not what they had expected from someone who had just been cheated on. They expected me to cry and wonder where it all went wrong, and I will, but not now. They are going to regret ever bringing tears to my eyes. So that is why I locked us all in Josiah’s house as the two traitors continued to scream and wither in pain.I was at Josiah’s bar sipping on some vodka when I heard someone whispering. Aww, were they plotting against me? They should try doing something more original. I took another swing at the liquor before shattering the bottle on the counter. I strutted back to the room where I had tied them both up, and I wanted to laugh at the sight of them. They looked so hopeless and pathetic.Not to mention the massive amount of blood. I did not know at what point I would be satisfied. I didn’t want to kill them, but that was mainly because I didn’t want the cops on my back. Who knows h
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-seven
GERALD'S POV I groaned when a bright light tried infiltrating my eyelids. The sun’s warm gaze kissed my skin, and I just was not in the mood for any romantic gestures. I felt something move around my chest and froze. I do not remember buying a pet, and Paula does not sleep in my room.But that’s when it hit me.Paula’s gone.Silvia hates me.I don’t have a pet.So what the hell is on my chest?My eyelids flew apart and my eyes fell on a mop of dark brown spewed across my chest. Soft snores filled my ears, and a bony, well-manicured hand moved across my chest; she was caressing my body as though I were some kind of pillow.Who the hell was this woman?And that’s when it hit me again.The events of the past few hours: Silvia telling me to fuck off; me realizing how much shit my life has become and deciding to be irresponsible; me kissing some random woman in a bar whose name I do not even know.Fuck.A weird feeling began dancing within my chest. It made me feel nauseous, and I had thi

SILVIA'S POV ~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~This was my first day at a new school, and I had to look exceptional. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make any friends, as I didn't have any at my previous school, but hopefully this one will be different.This time, I get the chance to reinvent myself. And the best part is, I have a banging job and no parents to tell me what to do! Maybe if I make enough friends, we can throw a party at my new apartment.Everything is going to be so fun!But first, I need to make sure I look good and attractive to both boys and girls. I heard there are lots of cute boys in this school; I wonder if any of them will like me.I don’t know how long I have been staring at myself in the mirror. I think I didn’t put enough make-up on, but I don’t want to look like I am overdoing it and just begging for attention. I mean, I did want attention, but not the bad kind. I bought this extra short red skirt that stopped just below my ass, but I was suddenly feeling insecure, so I
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-five
SILVIA'S POV "I am not yours."That simple sentence seemed to have torn his entire world apart. The way he looked at me like I had just dragged out his heart from his chest and stepped on it mercilessly it hurt. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it quickly as though he were unsure of what to say. I heard a sniffle but I refused to believe it was from him. Surely he wasn’t going to cry because of me, right? That’s not the Gerald I know.He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath while shutting his eyes. When he opened them I was surprised by what I had found. His blue eyes were outlined by a bloody red, it looked like he was holding back so many emotions he was about to burst. His neck snapped towards me and he was stalking towards me, I stumbled back surprised by the determination and power in his stride. He took my hand in his and placed it above his chest, his heart was beating frantically.Too frantically if you ask me, it was like he was about to have a heart at
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-four
SILVIA'S POV "So, how is it going?" I heard an all-too familiar voice say: I shut my locker to come face-to-face with a familiar pair of green eyes. Josiah was leaning towards the lockers beside me, and he wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a Chelsea boot, and a plain white top.He was giving Harry Styles vibes.I cocked my head to the side and asked, "How's what going?"He smiled at me and slapped my shoulder playfully. I watched him with bewilderment because the last time I saw him, he was storming out of my apartment with a face redder than a tomato and fury that could surpass that of a bull’s."You know, with your job and everything. Exams are coming up, which means Yale is coming up," he said, and whatever expression I had on my face before he said that was wiped away.Wow, he really cared about this, huh?"The job is fine," was all I could say to him before turning my back and heading down the hall.I felt a hand wrap around my wrist, and I turned to find Josiah looking at me wi
His Assassin's Love chapter twenty-three
GERALD'S POV I am still speechless about what happened. Why the hell did Silvia have a gun? How did she get the courage to throw herself out the window knowing that one bullet was all it took to kill her? And how did she learn to shoot so well? She only shot at them like twice, and they were perfect hits. Something was going on, and I did not like it.That's why I decided to fuck the ball and invite Silvia to my house to talk. I didn’t feel comfortable questioning her on the road, where another one of those goons could just come out and start busting up my glasses with a LED. So here we are, in my living room, with a baseball bat in my hand and a ten-foot distance between Silvia and I."Why do you have a gun?" I started, and I saw her take a step towards me; I raised my bat, and she immediately stopped. I saw the surprise in her eyes, but I wasn’t really going to use it on her. I could never hurt her. But I needed answers.Now."For protection, obviously. Ever since I got shot, I bou
