Chapter - 18 Elijah Cunningham ________ We both breathed the same air, with my head pressed to his. He smiles at me, "You are amazing, princess." "But you are a dicktard." He chuckles loudly like it's the funniest thing ever. His phone rang just giving me the clue to get off of him. I slid from his lap putting my dress back in its place. He closes his pants but doesn't bother with the shirt. "Yes?" "What?" He says suddenly angry. Whatever he is talking about is not good news that's for sure. "Fuck, send me the address," he snarls hitting the steering wheel. "What happened?" I ask as soon as he ends the call. "Somebody shot Igor." ______________ "We can't say anything right now, the patient's blood pressure is very unstable," the doctor informs getting out of the room. They are performing surgery on him, they told us the bullet in his shoulder - thankfully not anyway near to his heart. But they can't say anything about the damage right now. "He'll be alright," I whisper cla
Chapter - 19Stabbed but at least the secret is out! _______I stir, feeling the bed beside me cold. I moved my hand to press her body into me again to find it empty.I jerked my eyes open when I found her side empty. But relaxed soon when I find her sitting on the floor her back pressed to the bed.She is looking outside, her hands wrapped around her legs.Something tells me the chance in her behavior is because of me."come back," I whisper."I don't want to be near you.""Beryl."She jumps up from the bed furious. "How dare you touch me with the same hands you held her?" I knew she would be angry about that."And you have no right to trick me into your bed."Oh, for fucks sake."It's not like - it's the first time." "You were dancing on my dick the last, I remember. "Her cheeks go red, making her look younger than she is. "Fuck you," she yells. She walks toward the door and I jumps out of the bed just then. She can try but i'm quicker than her. I blocked her path coming betwe
Chapter - 20Ronan___________it's like someone has punched me in the fucking face. "pregnant?"Killian gets go of the trigger but still trained his gun straight. "You are lying.""I'm not. I'm pregnant, I'm not saying it's your baby. But I am. Please let me live," she begs. "Lower your gun," I whisper loud enough for him to hear. "Lower your fucking gun, Killian." I had to yell for him to listen to me. Igor's phone rings loudly cutting the tension from the air. He gives me a look before picking up the call and walking out. Elijah's gaze followed Igor before he turned back to Cora. He makes a show to kick Braxton, "Is this fucker the father?""No," Cora says without missing a beat."Doesn't matter, start explaining yourself, Cora. Or you know me. Baby or no baby I will make you pay." Killian says. I hope he is wrong. Because there is no chance in hell, am I ever letting him do it? "Ronan is the father," she says sobbing lightly. "The night you came back was also the night Rona
Chapter - 21 Favorite B letter word -Betrayal. __________ I read the message again and again. Jeramy: you can come back now, Rori has given her statement. I should be happy to hear this, fucking ecstatic even. I can finally go back to New York, and go back to work. I read while pushing the door open for him to enter. "Come in doctor." "I don't need a doc-" she protests but I cut her off quickly. "yes you do, just let him take a look," I say motioning the doctor to come to follow us. She stopped midstep watching Cora and her baby daddy. I'm still so angry at Cora for what she did to Beryl but she's pregnant. I can't do anything to her even if I wanted to. I stare at her while she's busy staring at them. She's it. She's the reason I'm not as happy as I should be when I hear the news. This little time here with her had been a fantasy. It's not real, I know. She will go back to her world and I will go back to mine, the only difference is. She will never forget my parting
Chapter 1 | what's worse a mob brother or a bratty enemy? __________Rare are those whose smile brighten up the entire room. Hers did that. Maybe it was her goofy attitude or her ability to crack jokes at the most inappropriate moment of times. But she is rare and special. She is Rori Zoe Ryan.My best friend, my sister, and is the only person I want to be around. "You should at least consider," she says drinking her drink. I snorted, okay maybe she is not that great. "No, I'm not getting my nipples pierced. Done deal."She sneakered. "But they look so hot. I can already imagine the news, Beryl Montgomery - claiming her unofficial title - a slut.""Wow, Ouch," I said. My phone ringed, frowning I take out my phone from the purse. I specifically told Cecilia, my secretary to not disturb me tonight. She had one job. A private number huh? I pressed green and picked up the call. Putting my finger on my lips to tell her to not make a noise for the moment. "Yes?""Beryl," the person
Chapter - 2 | waffles worth more than gold __________Beryl A violent man with a volatile mind, I must give it to Jeramy to find such a man. With jet black hair and metallic grey eyes, he has to be the most handsome man I've ever seen. Also the ugliest. A shudder run through me when my bare feet met the cold marble of the floor.The son of a bitch left me here, tied.I fought through the ropes only for them to dig harder into my flesh. I need to breathe. "Shhh," I whisper to myself in a pitiful attempt to hush the voices in my head. Why is my life like this? Earlier today I got the call from my secretary informing me that my so-called half-brother is coming back. He is coming back. The mere thought of seeing his face again makes my blood boil. Nobody even bothered to told me about it. Nobody. Our father sent him to Moillum Laurier almost 4 years ago. Laurie is a juvenile prison, or that is what dad told me it is. Fuck, I can't even trust the old man. He loves him. He lov
chapter 3 | shit just got personal. _____ It's Friday, she picks calls on Friday.The tapping sound wakes me up. I put off the curtain to look outside and found it raining rather heavily. The dotted silver threats drop from heaven almost as if they are announcing the arrival of a new day. I opened the window aware that I'm going to soak my clothes if I do it. Honestly, I don't care, I love rain a little too much. why drown in my own thoughts when I can sit in rain. I picked up my phone to call Rori. The last couple of days have been tough, I want to spend today with my best friend in my bed doing nothing. Can't hurt me in the comfort of my own bed, Jeramy. I tried again when she didn't pick up. maybe it's too early, for her. I left a quick message for her telling her to come over before going to the bathroom. Um, wait, I called a maid in. "Yes madam. ""Get someone to bring me mocha macarons from King's bakery." Eating macrons in bed has to be the best thing ever. I came to a
Chapter - 4 | We are all sinners here.| ____somedays I, no most days I wonder what it will feel like to un-alive someone. Will it feel nice? will it set you free? because all I think about right now is how trapped I am and how utterly helpless. I hate being this person, I hate being not in control. I hate that my father is standing here in front of me asking me to sign a part of my shares to his son. He's the worst dad to me but the best dad to him. he has always loved him, and never me. which is why I made this promise to him, which I'm regretting even to this day. I was a teenager and in dire need of getting validation from him. So to make him happy and to prove myself I told him I will do whatever he wants me to do business-wise. No questions asked. little did I know it will come to bite me in the back now. He says he knows what he is doing and that his gifted son will do wonders with his money. my money "But-""No buts. You sign your shares to him today, it's not like I'm
