Stanley"I wanted to be sure."I whip my head toward Frida, who is standing by the door. She walks over to us slowly, her gaze cold."Frida," I whisper, my voice trembling.She nods, her lips set in a grim line. "I knew about Molly all along, Stanley. What did you do with her body?""What do you mean you knew about her?" I say. My head is spinning. What the hell is going on?Frida takes a deep breath and looks me in the eye. "I'm Molly's younger sister," she says finally, her eyes filling with tears.For a moment, I just stand there, too stunned to say anything. Frida and Molly were related? How had I not noticed before? "When you and Molly started dating," Frida continues, her voice shaking with emotion. "I was only six years old so I never got to know her before...before she was gone." "Six years old?" I raise my hand to stop her. "I knew you were younger, but I didn't know you were twelve years younger than me!" I groan. "Our age difference is the least of your problem now, Stan
FridaI had always been a person of action. I had never been one to shy away from a fight. And this, I have decided, is a fight I am willing to wage. I want to make Stanley pay. Stanley had betrayed Molly, the girl he claimed to have cared about. Her only sibling. And now, I am hellbent on retribution, and nothing can stop me.After recognizing him at Madison's house, I tried my best to pretend that I had a crush on him. It was easy to do. I adopted the guise of a vulnerable, unsuspecting girl who had recently caught Stanley's attention. I understood that in order to win his trust, I had to make him believe that I was enamored by him.My friendship with Madison isn't fake. I truly like her. But deep inside, I felt rage against Stanley. Every time I saw him, I wanted to rip his heart out.My act of pretending to fall for Stanley was a calculated risk, but in the end, the truth came out. There were times when I was truly attracted to him and it distracted me, but I have managed to ov
StanleyI should be mad.There I was, slowly falling in love with this amazing girl, and now, the girl is holding me hostage. This whole thing is absolutely insane.But I don't feel angry at all. Instead, I feel sad knowing that Frida hates me now. Or did she hate me from the beginning? Was there anything about our relationship real?After sitting in this chair for what felt like hours, I hear footsteps coming down the wooden stairs. I quickly shift in my chair, hoping it's Frida. I smile as I see her. Her hair looks messy and dark circles are prominent under her eyes."Hey," I say softly. Frida doesn't say anything and simply stands in front of me. Silence fills the room."Frida," I begin. "I know you must hate me now. But I know that we had something. Something real."Frida's expression hardens. "I was only pretending to like you."My heart drops at her words. I feel a lump in my throat. How could she say that? How could everything we had just be a lie to her?"I don't believe you,
FridaI stare at Stanley dumbfounded as blood spills out of his mouth. He doesn't even look like he is in pain more as he still stares at me with a smug expression on his face."Are you crazy?" I snarl."No, just in love," Stan replies. More blood spills out of his mouth.Love?No, he is just trying to charm me now. He is not in love with me!I quickly run upstairs and grab a roll of paper towels, then run back to Stanley. I rip out a few pieces and shove them inside his mouth to stop the bleeding. "This was insane. Don't do it again," I say.Stanley mumbles something, but I can't understand him with his mouth full of paper towels. I grow frustrated as he keeps bleeding. Why won't he stop bleeding?I go back upstairs to find the first aid kit. When I reach the bathroom, I hastily open the cabinet, searching for the first aid supplies.My hands shake as I grab the first aid kit and carry it back downstairs.I carefully remove the soaked paper towels from his mouth and replace them with
Frida"Where are you going?" I ask my parents as I see them hurry out with bags in their hands."We are going to stay at our cabin in the mountain until you sort this mess out. I don't know what the hell you plan on doing with Stanley, Frida. Keep him or let him go, but your mom and I had enough of this nonsense," Dad says sternly."And how do I know you won't call the police on me, Dad," I ask him."We don't want to lose another daughter, Frida. We just want to go away for a while," Mom says.I look at them both, torn between my trust for them and my fear of being alone with Stanley."Listen Frida, we won't call the police on you. We want to believe that you are old enough to make your own decisions now," Dad says earnestly. "It's just that things have become too complicated for us and we need some time away from this place."My parents walk towards me and give me a firm hug. I can feel their love, so strong against my body. It's true; they love me no matter what happens."Go ahead t
FridaI drive like a mad woman to my parent's house, racing through my neighborhood with my heart pounding in my chest. The neighbors glare daggers at me for driving like an idiot when I jump out of the car, but I don't care. I left Stan in the goddamn basement without his insulin, and now I'm terrified I might have accidentally killed him. Shit. He better not be dead; he cannot be dead! I rush towards the door, fumbling with the keys in a frenzy. The neighbor's dog is barking at me, and I yell, "Shut up, Buster!" before finally managing to open the door. I throw off my shoes in the hallway, lock the door and run toward the staircase with my pulse flaring against my neck."Stan?" I ask. "Are you alive?"There is no answer.Guilt pierces my chest, and for the first time, I question what the hell I'm even doing. Stan might be to blame for Molly's death, but I never meant to kill him. I just wanted to punish him for not trying harder to save her life, but now I might accidentally have k
Frida"Ahh... Stanley...that's enough," I croak out as he continues to lick my clit. He spreads my labia with his fingers and aggressively drags his tongue over the sensitive flesh, occasionally dipping down to tease my core.I wanted to cry, but all I could manage was little sobs and moans of pleasure. I want him to stop. But then, I don't want him to stop. "Stan... Stan, please..." I croak out as he nibbles on my clit and soothes my agony with lazy picks.I feel like I'm weak and pathetic. I failed Molly.My orgasm hits me like a tidal wave, and I black out. He kept his promise of fucking me all night, and I let him. And when I came to, I found his strong arms wrapped around my waist.Fuck....I messed up.I mutter a string of curses as I jump out of bed. I've never cursed so much in my life. I splash some cold water on my face to try to wake up and mentally prepare myself to face him. I feel terrible that I let Stanley have his way with me. I'm weak. And what's worse, I've grown at
StanleyI stare at Victor, and he can see that my eyes are smoldering with fierce determination. He knows that I am here with a purpose."What's going on, Stanley? What's with the emergency meeting?" Victor asks cautiously."I need to track down the enemy that kidnapped and killed Molly," I reply without any hesitation.Victor sighs. "Molly. I thought we were done with the subject after she was buried. You didn't want me to bring her up again because it hurt you to think about her. Why are you doing this now?""It's a long story," I say.Victor leans back in his chair. "Well, lucky for you, I have the time. Madison is in charge of the kitchen today.:I tell Victor everything about Frida and what happened to her."Holy shit! Frida kidnapped you, and now you want to help her avenge Molly?" Victor lets out a low whistle, his eyes are wide with shock."Yup. I love her. It's strange that she is Molly's sister and much younger than me, but I can't help how I feel about her. She loves me too
SheilaI freeze, my heart racing as I look around the room, trying to spot any signs of danger. Ethan notices my distress and places a comforting hand on my arm."Is everything okay?" he asks, concern etched on his face."I don't know," I say, showing him the message from my dad. "He's telling me to leave."Ethan's expression darkens. "We should go, then. Henrik!" he calls out to my brother, who's standing at the punch bowl, chatting up one of the teachers. "We need to leave. Now."Henrik nods, his eyes scanning the room. "I'll go get the car."We rush out of the venue, and Henrik pulls the car around to the front. We jump in, and he speeds off into the night."What's going on?" I ask, my heart pounding in my chest."I don't know. But I got the same message from Dad, telling us to leave," Henrik says, scanning the parking lot.Ethan's phone buzzes, and he checks it. "My dad is telling me the same thing.""Someone is following us," Henrik says urgently as he looks into the rearview mir
Prom night.I stand in front of the mirror, admiring my dress. It's a strapless, navy blue gown that hugs my curves in all the right places. My friend Leslie helped me pick it out, and I couldn't be happier.I hear a tapping at my door, and I grin, knowing it's Henrik. I quickly open it."Ready to go?" Henrik asks.I nod, excitement bubbling inside of me. "Thanks for helping me with this, Henrik. I really appreciate it."He chuckles. "Of course, sis. Anything for you. Now, let's go before Dad starts to suspect something."We make our way outside, and I see Ethan's car waiting for us. Henrik opens the door for me, and I climb in. Ethan greets me with a smile. My heart skips a beat as I take in his handsome appearance. He's in a black tuxedo, and he looks like he just stepped out of a magazine."You look beautiful," he says, taking my hand.I blush, feeling flattered. "You don't look too bad yourself, Ethan."He smirks. "Glad to hear it. Shall we get going, then?""Ahem..."We both turn
Sheila Damien almost looks nervous at the woman, which is kind of funny to me. Isn't he supposed to be some tough Mafia boss?"Hey, Addie. This is Sheila," Damien says. "Sheila, this is my wife, Adeline."Hi," I say shyly.Adeline's eyes light up. "Sheila? Ethan told me about you!"Ethan talked about me? My cheeks warm at the thought."What are you doing here? Where is Ethan?" she asks.I look at Damien, trying to give him a chance to explain the situation, but when he says nothing, I decide to tell her myself."Mr. Damien kidnapped me from my school."Adeline's face twists into a frown. "He did what!?" she exclaimed.Damien raises his hand. "Now, hold on, I wouldn't call it kidnapping."I keep my smile intact. "It was definitely kidnapping. Some guy just pulled over next to me and told me to get inside the car."Adeline glared at him. "And why did you do such a thing?""Mr. Damien found out I am the daughter of his enemy, so he wanted to have a chat with me," I answer for him.Adeli
SheilaI don't care what Dad says. I want to see Ethan again. Last time we had so much fun together, and we connected so well!I catch him by his locker, so I stride toward him. "Ethan, hi!" I chirp.He looks at me and smiles. "Hey, Sheila. I thought you were forbidden from seeing me.""I am, but I don't care," I say determinedly.Ethan chuckles. "Being a rebel, are we?"I turn serious. "Look, Ethan. I don't care what kind of rivalry your dad and my dad have going on, but I want us to keep being friends. What do you have to say about that?"Ethan smirks and leans toward me. "Friends? I was hoping we could be more than friends."My heart does a little flip inside my ribcage. "Really?"Ethan nods, his smirk fading into a gentle smile. "Yeah, really. I've enjoyed getting to know you, Sheila. You're smart, funny, and we have a lot in common. I'd like to explore the possibility of something more than just friendship if you're interested."I bite my lower lip. "I would like that.""I wanted
HenrikI lean back in my chair as the waitress approaches us."Here's your whiskey on the rock. Let me know if you need anything else," she says with a smile.I smile back. "You know what, there is something else I need.""What's that?" she asks."I was wondering if you would spend some time with me tonight," I say.Her smile falters a bit. "What do you mean?""I mean, why don't we go to one of those private rooms and...talk? Maybe you could give me a lap dance?" I say and wink at her.Her cheeks flush. "I am not one of the dancers. I am just a server."I shrug. "What if I pay extra?"She sucks in a breath and her eyes narrow. "Are you serious? That's highly inappropriate." She takes a step back, clearly offended.But I'm not one to be deterred so easily. I lean in closer and give her a smirk. "Come on, it will be fun. I promise you won't regret it."She shakes her head and takes a step back. "I am not interested in being paid to dance for you."I shrug again. "That's too bad. But may
HenrikDang, family dramas, am I right?After causing that big scene at dinner, Dad got us all together for a private meeting."I need you all to keep an eye on your sister," he says in a hushed tone. "Don't we do that anyway?" Jonas rolls his eyes."I am serious!" Dad growls at him. "Pay extra attention to her. Make sure she doesn't see Ethan again.""You do realize they go to the same school, right? And they plan on going to the Prom together," I remind him."I will pull her out of school if I have to," Dad says gruffly.All four of us shake our heads disapprovingly. "That's a terrible idea," Oliver says. "She is about to graduate soon. You can't pull her out of school now. She will never forgive you.""Yup. Oli is right. Let her graduate at least," Aleks agrees.Dad's expression softens. He takes a deep breath, his voice reflecting a mixture of concern and resignation. "Fine. But you all need to promise me that you'll keep a close eye on her. And if anything feels off or suspicious
Sheila"Out! Get out of my house, NOW!" Dad roars, pointing at Ethan."Dad! What the hell!?" I stand up too. What is he doing and why? "Why are you saying this to Ethan?"Ethan looks as confused as me. "Sir?""I need you to leave. And make sure you and my daughter never see each other again," Dad says."I don't understand," Ethan says."Me neither," I say as I stare at my dad, completely embarrassed and horrified."Yeah, Dad. What's going on?" Henrik remarks."Hold on, everyone. Let's take a moment to understand what's happening here," Mom says, her voice steady and composed. "Victor, why are you suddenly asking Ethan to leave and demanding that they never see each other again?"Dad takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding slightly as he tries to explain himself. "It's for their own good. I can't have Damien Sky's son date my daughter."Mom looks at him curiously. "Damien Sky? Victor, why is that name significant? Why are you freaking out about him?""Damien and I go way back. And not
Sheila I changed my clothes at least three times in less than an hour. I am nervous. No, not just nervous. I am absolutely terrified of the dinner tonight. When Oliver told me he was planning on inviting Ethan over for dinner, my heart plunged to my throat. I tried to say no because I knew what my brothers were up to. They just want to invite Ethan so they can scare him in the comfort of their own home. But for some reason, I couldn't say no. Maybe because seeing Ethan in my house is much more tempting. I make a mental note to myself: I must protect Ethan from the quadruplets' wrath. And so I am standing in front of my wardrobe, looking for the perfect outfit. Nothing screams "I'm not interested" more than a casual T-shirt and jeans, but I don't want to seem too eager either. I try on a white summer dress with delicate lace details that fall perfectly around my curves. But then again, it's too girly and Ethan might think I'm trying too hard. So I put on a pair of slim-fitting j
OliverSheila is charging towards me. Her face is flushed red. She must be pissed at me and I know exactly why."How could you!?" she snarls at me."What do you mean? How could I what?" I feign ignorance which seems to piss her off even more."HOW COULD YOU RUIN MY DATE?" she roars.Jeez...so angry. I swear she has anger issues like Dad. "Don't scream at me, Sheila. I am older than you.""I don't give a hoot how old you are," she growls."What's all this commotion here?" Our father, Victor walks in and asks."Sheila is screaming at me because I scared her little date at the museum," I say gruffly.Dad scowls. "Date? What date?"Sheila's face turns pale. I can tell she is caught off guard as she didn't want to tell our father about her dating boys already. Hmm...I feel bad for her now. "She is trying to get a date for the Prom, Dad, that's all," I say in her defense."Okay...so what's the issue here?" Dad asks. "Ethan is new and he hasn't heard all the dumb rumors about me and my fam
