Chapter - 17 Didn't she say she was done, with a D?_____________ "Wake up," his rough hands grabbed my arm lightly shaking me. "Wake up, Montgomery," he says again. I groan and open my eyes. Asking him to just let me sleep is fruitless, he does what he does. I opened the door and stepped out only to find myself standing on the footpath of a very busy street. I turned around to look at him, "where are we?" He doesn't answer my question just gets out of the car and holds out his hand for me. "I'm not holding hands with you," I said walking past him. The same hands were on Cora tonight. I don't want him anymore she can have him. He grips my hands halting my steps, I was ready to yank my hand free from his when he closed the distance between us. "try defying me again, and I will fuck you right here for everyone to see." I opened my mouth to tell him to shove it somewhere but decided against it. He does not deserve my anger, he doesn't deserve anything. I gave him the fakest sm
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 - 22 Biased, bruised, and a bad parent. __________ As I sit on the spring bed staring out from the window of this hotel, I wonder what happened to me. I fell into his trap knowing he would stab me in the back the first chance he'd get. Just like he did. I- well, thinking. It is all I can do now, now when I'm so down that the cold floor beneath my feet feels soft. The scar on my stomach will always, in some way or another, tie me to him. It's a constant reminder, a tangible inscription etched onto my flesh. I chuckled darkly, the sound devoid of humor. How quickly shock morphed into a thrill, a twisted sense of pride witnessing his ruthless takeover. But that thrill, like the memory itself, is slowly fading, leaving behind only a bitter aftertaste and the ever-present mark of his presence. Fuck, I lost my virginity to that man. Not that it's a big deal, anyway. I should've done it long ago but I couldn't - because every other man in my life always made me feel like di
CHAPTER - 23 when is love ever enough? ________ "You are back from hiding." My father taunts me as soon as I step into his office. "I want to talk to you about my resignation email, " I gritted. I don't know why but being in a room with him now makes me angry. "There is nothing to talk about. You did the right thing walking away from all this," he says so calmly like he didn't just something so mean. I have worked for years in this company. My blood and sweat everything is this. "I'm not walking away from shit. I want my job back, I want my company back," I scream blaming my hands down his table. For the first time since I met him. I've seen him shocked, he didn't expect me to lash out like this. "Mind your language young lady." He holds my gaze for what feels like hours - but can do whatever he wants. I'm not walking out of his office until I get what I want. He gestures for me to take a seat. "Sit down." I took the seat keeping my anger in check. "Who was it?
This all is a corrupt dream, like him________"Wait, you are buying all this?" I asked her watching her buy everything at Cartier. I look around astonished to find her buying all these expensive things. Whoever this girl is, she is not my friend. My Rori never believed in materialistic things - she believed in things like soul and meaning in life. This usually used to be my section. She's playing the field like a pro though. "Not for me, apparently Jeramy has a lot of cousins and sisters. I want to get gifts for all of them." Family, his family. She's buying gifts for him. My heart aches every time she touches another piece, looking at it with awe. She's going all in for this marriage, whereas he is doing it all for revenge. I don't know how I will live knowing I betrayed my best friend. "How is this one?" She asks a silver band in her hand. "It's beautiful," my voice came out softer than I wanted to. "Don't cry," she puts the band down. "We'll buy the rings from
