TheaMy plans to see Florentine at dawn didn't work because I had to seek permission from Irene my supervisor. She gave no care to my complaint and said that I wasn't eating well so my body was reacting yet she had given me half portion of food because I finished late from my morning duty. I was starving and my body was really getting the heat of it. I had to push my limits working at the warehouse, I had fallen from being dizzy and tired. Luckily for me, the men who were moving some cartons which I presumed contained Angel's goods had asked me to take a rest. Apparently, they had been minding their business since they were asked to but they felt sorry for me not knowing why I was being punished this much so they offered to help. Irene was not convinced when she came to supervise my work and I was convinced this woman wanted me to die from overwork. She made me dispose of stacked thrash before asking someone to get my food for the night.It was dark already and no maid was coming
TheaWhen would it end? This suffering, this pain. My body was breaking down and my mind was a mess. It was four in the morning and here I was scrubbing the kitchen floor on empty belly. My body was quivering from starvation and the pain in my belly was getting unbearable. I looked at the fridge in the kitchen and I was tempted to grab food from it. I looked around for prying eyes even though I knew cameras were here. What if Angel was watching? Should I even care about that because my belly was rebelling against me. I took a glass and fetched some water from the tap, I had been trying to hold out the entire night with water but it was getting useless. I dropped the glass harshly on the kitchen island glaring at the fridge as if it were the cause of my predicament. What was the worst that could possibly happen?I dropped all the care in the world and went straight for an apple in the fridge. I took my time eating it gradually even though I just wanted to munch everything at once to
TheaI couldn't explain the kind of feeling I was experiencing now because it looked like so many negative and positive emotions were mixed together and tossed into my heart. I was angry at him, I hated him yet I was happy to see him and I desired him. My lips parted gradually as I had to breath through my mouth to save myself. "A-Angel...." I whispered his name but I wasn't sure he heard it because I could barely hear it. He had a mean gaze towards me and for a moment there I was worried how this encounter would end. He wasn't saying anything and just kept staring at me. I wanted to leave but I was scared he'd stop me. He took a step closer to me and I shuddered unexpectedly. Why was my body acting up now that he was here? I clutched my dress again easing my tension on it but even that wasn't enough. I was feeling breathless. "Did Irene not give you instructions about working here?" He finally spoke and the firmness of his voice was intimidating. "Yes she did. Not to be seen
KnightI had never felt so dispirited in the morning like I did now because my little Angel was absent at breakfast.I kept pondering, did I take things too far with her the last time? She had avoided me the previous day after what happened between us at the corridor, she missed dinner and it was endurable but now that she missed breakfast I was restless. I couldn't get my head straight not even to work. I was usually calm and coordinated but with Cassie, things were different. Angel was awfully silent at breakfast, he looked more angry than quiet and he had no care in the world if his sister was absent. Knowing them both I was certain they had a fight the other day if he didn't bother to ask about her.I ate little at breakfast and once it was over I didn't bother to meet up with Caspian or Angel about our plans to get back out stolen merchandise from Sparrow. I headed straight to Florentine's room. If Cassie would confide in anyone it would be Florentine.Thinking I'd have the priv
CassieI had to come up with an excuse not to join breakfast this morning. I already skipped dinner the previous night and I still wasn't ready to face knight. The tension that sparked between us was incredible. I had a sleepless night because I kept reminiscing what transpired between us.What was that bold step he took? Why did he do that to me? Did he realize just how much hope he had given me with that act? I turned in bed feeling my head ache from the constant thinking. It didn't make any sense for Knight to simply tease me. Drunk or not he remembered our kiss and even admitted to enjoying it. I let out a frustrated sigh jumping out of my bed as thoughts kept bugging my mind. Just ask him if he likes you and stop frustrating us! I yelled at myself as I paced about the room. Knowing Knight, he wasn't the type to play around. I knew he rejected me in the past but now he was saying something different and if I dared to believe. He was trying to tell me that my feelings for him
"Why do you have to stay in such position then? I asked nervously and his throat moved again as he gulped down fluid while looking at my lips. "... Because it requires this position."I sighed sharply fearing what he meant. "W-what do you want?" He hesitated a little then his lips twitched into a satisfied smile. "Did you enjoy our kiss that night?" I blinked several times forcing my lips to part so I could say something. "Knight....""That's one....Two, would you have let me kiss you if Camilo haden't showed up when she did?"I can't answer all this. Knight please, don't do this." I begged."I've waited too long for you Cassie. I can't stop now." "What? I said almost inaudibly trying to wrap my head around his words. "Three...." He continued, lowering himself towards me so that our face were a kiss away from each other. My desires erupted like a volcano. I was like a wild fire and a beeping bomb waiting to explode. We stared into each other's eyes more like we were staring in
TheaI found a lonely corner to stay after my encounter with Angel that morning. The fact that he didn't care about me for being sick really hurt me. His words did cut deep into my heart, he'd revive me just to take me back to this hell of a life I was going through? Those words hit me really hard.My belly grumbled all the while but I ignored it till it was time for my breakfast when it became violent with it's grumbling sounds. I went to the room where Irene had asked me to stay and wait for my food every morning but again, I felt there was a delay just like the previous day. At this rate they'd really want to kill me. I couldn't go on empty belly this morning so I decided to get my food by all means. "Where are you off to?" I startled hearing Irene's voice, I had just bumped into her on my way out. She had a mean gaze and without doubt I knew she was angry with me but why? I blinked suspiciously wondering if she already knew about my encounter with Angel this morning.Was I goi
TheaI found my way around the mansion till I got to Florentine's room. My eyes had darted in search for Angel on my way, my heart was winning again and I craved to see him but my mind stepped up soon enough reminding me that he brought Natalia back and was probably fucking her for whatever round now. The thought broke my heart in pieces and I felt suffocated with pain. Despite it, I managed to get to Florentine's room. I hesitated but eventually I landed a knock on her door and after a second try the door paved way and I locked eyes with Florentine who looked stunned to see me. Her expression soon shifted to worry as she scanned my body with her mouth agape. It got me feeling sorry for myself and I couldn't hold back my tears any more. "Florentine...." I called and a tear dropped down her face as well. "My goodness!" She muttered placing a hand across her mouth as more tears streamed down her eyes. I knew she felt terrible seeing me this way but right now I needed comfort and s
