He loved it there, and sleep sneakily crept into his system.“I won't leave your side. Ever. It feels… unbearably cold without you.” Their eyes met again, and each smiled delightfully.“You'll never leave me?”“I'll be your goddamn guardian angel."★★It was the next morning.A morning that Francess wished never came, since only those that were alive enjoyed it.But her?She felt…dead. It was the morning after a failed dinner with the most prestigious family in the country, and she saw herself as crap.It wasn't because of missing such an opportunity, yet they kept replaying in her head.Tessa and Doreen.As Francess lay on the queen-sized bed, her fingers entwined, hair strands dangling over her, and brown eyes gawking blankly at the aesthetic-designed ceiling, a lone tear slid down her cheek.She hadn't slept even for a second throughout the night, and occasionally a drop of tear would escape her eyes.Francess was in pain.“He loves her. Doreen loves her," She muttered, and again,
Where she went to, and when she returned, no one sincerely knew, but once the sun took its rightful position in the sky, and breakfast time clocked Pearl's ass was at the dining table.She went to heaven's nowhere yesterday and at that moment regretted leaving. Pearl was freaking confused about Tessa's closeness with the Fords.The glassy elongated dining table was presently occupied by everyone.Charlie Williams, being the owner of the Manor, settled on the chair with none beside it. While Mr. and Mrs. Fords sat closely, Tessa's seat was questioningly close to Mrs. Beth.Surely, Doreen sat beside his angel, and a bit expectantly, he was conversing warmly with Mr. Ford.Elias seemed to enjoy their discussion profusely, as he kept smiling. The four, in a way, were in another world from the rest.Pearl easily sensed the tension emanating from her elder brothers, her nephew, and also his supposed girlfriend.The maids rolled out of the kitchen in dozens, and as the meals were served, she
Even the maids lingering around effortlessly sensed the deadliness of his rage, and as sane as any could be, they cleared from his path.The instant the tires of his car halted, Lloyd alighted from it angrily. While he barged madly in, Maria was helped out of the car by the chauffeur.“Leave.” Coldly, she ordered the chauffeur who tried to wheel her in. The aged man nearly cried out in deep appreciation: Lloyd could randomly vent on anyone and it sure as hell wouldn't end well.Slowly, Maria began wheeling herself into the penthouse and from the living room, her ears heard sounds of glass shattering.Those brown eyes of hers darted at the staircase that led to his bedroom, but it was brief.“I need a drink.” She mumbled almost inaudibly, yet a maid nearby heard her. Sharply, her order was fulfilled and this time, she ordered one to take her to the swimming pool.Thankfully, the path didn't lead through a staircase, and within some minutes, Maria, still in a wheelchair, arrived at the
Although a great part of his life entailed having no friends, he often overheard either coursemates or classmates blabbing about their romantic partners. Most swore off the unexplainable feeling that consumed them whenever they saw that special someone: Doreen always assumed they were exaggerating. He found it absurd; how could a fellow human like oneself have so much of an impact on another?Well, he lived a great part of his life with his soul oblivious, and heart unwanting of that feeling, but right now, if it ever flees from them, he'd die. Doreen would undeniably cease to exist without Tessa. As he resurfaced from the spacious rectangular pool, filled with water that sparkled beautifully due to the lights, his green eyes beheld her approaching figure. Her hands were pushing a trolley, and sincerely, he'd rather devour her than anything else that might be in there. It wasn't so deep at night, and as one who found a bit of solace when immersed in water, Doreen decided to take
Perhaps only she could feel it.As her pair of brown eyes continuously gawked at them from a corner of the ballet glance, Maria unarguably felt an unsettling aura emanating from her.The pretentious smile she always wore never bothered Maria since she seemed harmful, but today…Francess was different.Nothing about her appearance changed, yet Maria failed to shake off the feeling that she was different.Currently, the twins she took for friends were busy prattling away while her lips remained shut, and eyes discreetly glued on a conversing Tessa and Francess.The two seemed to be enjoying themselves, and it irked Maria out.“I don't fucking get it. Is she plain gullible or stupid?”Everything about Tessa became perplexing in her perspective after the Fords were revealed to be her parents.Earlier this morning Maria awakened to find her father Lloyd arrested; she wasn't surprised. Allegedly he kidnapped Tessa, and Octavia her maid, well, her previous maid was surely going to testify a
Her stay there was short yet thrilling since he was equally excited that she landed the spot as one of the ballet dancers. “I don't want you doubting yourself, Tessa. You're a once-in-a-lifetime ballerina — those were the words of the B.O.D."Truly, she felt a creeping, and becoming significant, feeling that she wasn't worthy of that spot. None made her feel that way yet… Mere glancing or even acknowledging Francess' existence introduced that vile feeling. But after listening to Klaus' words, she felt a bit relieved. Tessa, yet to inform her parents about this, immediately rushed to Doreen's penthouse from the hospital. It was nighttime, and as the spine-chilling gusts of winds became incessant, she pelted into the living room. “Doreen! Doreen!” Tessa continuously called, and her voice alone could tell anyone she was freaking fervid. “Doreen!” Quickly she began her ascension up the curved staircase and soon was hurrying through the carpeted hallway.The chauffeur was certain his
The glistering darkness and shortness of her hair easily gave away the fact she was Tony's girlfriend. Maria, although found Tony utterly disgusting, sadly could never forget his face or that of any fool that'd gladly associate themselves with him. So yes, she remembered the mannerless bitch he brought back from the streets and to the family dinner some days back. Mary, his bitchy pregnant girlfriend. Done unrevealing her identity inwardly, Maria maintained her stance. She doesn't want to give Tessa the impression that they were… Friends. From where she stood, Maria's brown eyes watched the two ladies discuss. Well, Tessa's lips hadn't moved in the slightest while Mary was chattering seemingly endlessly. She was oblivious to whatever their conversation was about, and disregarding the distance between them, Maria found the dark-haired hellishly annoying. “My eyes might burn if I watch this shit any longer” She grunted lowly, then turned to resume walking to class. But as she d
How long has it been since he gazed at this towering skyscraper?A sigh, entailing nostalgia, escaped from his lips as the memories he had of the Empire flooded into his head. Despite how many years have passed, the W Empire's appearance has changed a little, but it now has a sense of modernization and more opulence. That was expected from Doreen, after all. “Father, can we go in already?” The voice of Pearl, the youngest of his children and the sole one who lived in the Manor with him, was heard. Charlie glanced at her and then smiled widely. “Or do you prefer gawking for the rest of the day?” She snickered sarcastically and earned another large smile from him. “Don't be silly.” Soon, she stood beside him then entangled her left arm with his right. As they walked into the entryway of W Empire, the guards, and some of the workers who were on break helplessly yet shockingly gaped at them. The sight of Charlie Williams in the flesh was as rare as staring at a solar eclipse. His
