Zayne's viewpointI got to the location almost two hours later. Why? She sent me the address of an amusement park. I had no idea how coming here would help us see the stars, or if it was even legal in the first place, but I came anyway. She instructed me to park my car a bit far from the school, so I walked the rest of the way, hoping she wasn't playing a silly game with me. As instructed in her text, I put my phone on silent and went around to the side entrance for employees only. There she stood, waiting for me.I let out a breath of relief and walked faster to her. She was hugging her body, clinging to an oversized robe around her body and men's combat boots. I couldn't tell the color because it was dark, but I know men's shoes when I see one. "Larissa!" I whispered. She whipped her head around, exhaling from her nostrils and relaxing when she saw it was just me."I was starting to think you bailed on me,""Why would I?""Zayne, a girl called you out this late in the night and made
Zayne's viewpoint I pondered on the issue over and over again. I knew better than to toss such information aside. Why would he buy her a top that practically leaves her naked? And why does she have to wear it to their slumber parties? Could it be he was trying to cover up his actual intent to see the other girl by giving her one to avoid suspicion? Or is he just a pervert unknown to his friends? Why? It could be his intention was completely innocent, and it also could be not. I hadn't seen him react to me around her, except earlier, but that wasn't enough reaction. Perhaps I need to rile him up enough to see his reactions and understand them. If I ever thought of letting his presence slide, I wasn't going to anymore. Larissa, completely ignorant of the inner conflict in me, kept on talking about the stars. I never cared enough for constellation, but I knew enough to tell she was saying the complete opposite of what the constellation are. If I wasn't so bothered, I'd have been amused
Larissa's viewpointI should never have let Starliss convince me to wear that top, and I should never have lied that I wore it daily. I only wore it on girls' night and around the house when Neo and Dad weren't around. Yes, Neo bought the top, but it originally belonged to Star. He bought two for her, but I took one to reduce Star's suspicion then. He wasn't pleased when he saw it on me, but was glad Star wore the other one that left her completely naked. Trust me when I say it's not the nicest thing to witness your best friend jerking off while moaning your other best friend's name.Terrible memory!The funny thing is how Star would always wear it to get the reaction she never got. Only I get to know because I have to help him hide his boner from her. My job as a middle woman is not easy at all. Back to the point. Starliss convinced me to wear the top so I could get a reaction. Of course, I knew most of the night, he stared at my glorious chest; hence why he was so quick to grab it w
Larissa's viewpointI want to say I've never been this nervous in my entire life, but I knew it would be a waste of time as long as I'm still dating the guy of my dreams. Every new activity will leave me in a jumble, at least, for now. Just the other night, I was nervous as hell, and boom, another brand of nervousness. Although, I would say Odette and Starliss were worse than I.Odette was fidgeting so badly that I was pitying her. Of course, she didn't admit it, but I knew she was nervous to see what Javelin would think of her. She always feared he only loved her because she was crazy, so wearing this might change his mind. She had no idea what she was thinking. The only reason Javelin hadn't pinned her to his bed was because of the way she dressed. It was good, but never enough for him to lose self-control. He was going to lose it, and they would get laid tonight. Her fear had a lot to do with the rejection or acceptance and after effect of sex on her.Starliss was more worried abou
Larissa's viewpoint After my hot make-out with Zayne outside, I led him into the building, him insisting on walking behind so he'd watch my ass sway for him. Of course, I gave him a show, hoping I didn't embarrass myself. I was pretty much convinced at this point that he only had eyes for me, so anything I did was sexual and exciting. I mean, he saw me the first time and demanded I get lost because he didn't realize it was me. The moment he knew the girl was me, that's when his mind let him appreciate the hot chick. If he didn't know it was me, he would have seen her like another slut. Well, I hope that is what it is. When we got in, I ran my eyes around to find my friends, spotting Starliss first in the restricted section for the stars. You know, so the fans won't trample on them. We even got bodyguards. Starliss was laughing at something Javelin said, while Neo shamelessly gawked at her. At this point, I don't think he cared if anybody caught him looking up his best friend. Other
Larissa's viewpoint Wow, just wow. I'd never had someone defend his feelings for me like that. I mean, he was so blunt and cruel with his words and clarified that I am all he wants. Ladies, are you feeling me? Please tell me you are feeling me right now. The girls screamed at him that he had bad taste, and he simply shrugged and said, "I want what I want. If you can't deal with it, go ahead and die." I know he is cruel, but how was I supposed to get mad in this situation? Who can get mad in my shoes? Lucky me, right? Thereafter, the girls left in tears, some guys following them because somehow, they were all too scared to voice out their opinions. So, we were left with just twelve players. We still needed the game to complete our plan. "Odette, Truth or Dare?" "Dare! Give me something hard to do, baby!" I exchanged a knowing look with Star. "What's my challenge?" "When Javelin climbs the stage again to give his final performance, I dare you to kiss him in front of everyone when th
Larissa's viewpointI can't believe I'm doing this!I can't believe I'm doing this!I chanted in my head over and over again as Zayne drove us to his house. I was scared we were moving too fast. Was I being played? Is he serious? He has to be, right? I mean, why would Zayne Verlice of all people lie to me? What can I do for him? It's going to be okay, right? I'm not moving too fast. It's not like we are going to have sex, we're just exploring things, right?Zayne was quiet like he usually was, and maybe additional as he was lost in his thoughts as well. I didn't say a word when he drove into an exclusive street and parked in front of a huge block of flats. I knew the building because one time, we were looking for an apartment. Dad thought it would be great to live in the fancy street. The money alone for a year's rent is what we used to buy a house. It was as expensive as rich sex. I wasn't supposed to be surprised, I mean, he is the last son of the Verlice dynasty. It was expected. I
Larissa's viewpoint Flushed, heart racing, nervous, and excited at the same time, I kept my eyes and lips shut as he undressed me. The first thing to go was my bra since he already took care of the top. Once my chest was bare, I sank my teeth into my lip, blushing even harder because I could feel his stare on them. I jerked when he suddenly palmed my breast, taking one round maraca into his hand and squeezing. He made a little sound and cussed under his breath as he continued to feel me up. "Your boobs are bigger than I thought. The right size and shape. I love them," he commented. I opened my eyes with a lick of my lips, smiling shyly at the fact that I was half naked and he was leisurely feeling my chest. "I'll be back for you," he said more to my breasts than me. He nodded to himself and went back to stripping me. I lifted my hips, allowing him to pull down my draped high-low skirt along with my panties after loosening the pearl belt. He pulled everything down my legs and tossed
Today marks a year and seven months since Larissa went into a coma. The project to fasten her healing remains a failure. There has been no positive result since. So far, the doctors still deem her survival impossible and the medicine to help the impossible become possible is nothing but a failure. The agreed number of experiments I can carry out is getting close. I promised my parents that after the number is three hundred, I will not carry out any more experiments. Even if they are condemned criminals, even if they throw away gangsters from the assassin association and mafia, they are still humans. Or so Mom said. Almost two years isn't enough to heal the wound in my heart, or anyone who truly loved her. I miss her. I miss everything about her. The world has no colors without her. I caught him, the bastard who made this happen. It's a shame he died from the third experiment. I would have loved to put him to more use. Larissa's parents welcomed a new baby last
Zayne's viewpointI tapped my foot on the floor, my hands clasped and pressed to my lips. I silently prayed with my eyes closed for a good result since we didn't have the time or anyone to test it out. It wasn't something dangerous, that we were sure of but anything could happen. It'd been almost nine hours since the operation began. There had been no news from Dad or the doctors. We weren't allowed in there.Savia huffed for the umpteenth time. She had been pacing for four hours without a break. Neither of us could sleep. Serenity slept off thrice and woke up with a scream. She had nightmares. Zyaire slept off along the way, but unlike Serenity, he did not wake or shake, he cried in his sleep. None of us could be bothered to soothe each other's pain."Argh!!!" Savia screamed, ruffling her hair and shaking her head wildly. "This is driving me crazy!""Relax, Savvy," Aunt Rylee said softly. She accompanied us to the hospital along with her husband, Uncle Phineas. We kept Mom's conditio
Larissa's viewpointI looked around the house, walking in slowly while Neo went in to get something. It was strange. He told me it was an apartment and his Grandpa was sending him away but for someone who was leaving, they put a great effort into the interior design of the house. Note that I said house, not apartment. It was undoubtedly a beautiful home. The taupe gray, silver, and cream theme with a bit of brown was lovely, along with the furniture and the styling."I'm back," he announced, drawing my attention to him. He walked to the cream camel back sofa with a bottle of Beaufort a Ambonnay Grand Cru Doux Rose, two white wine glasses, a big plate of Swedish meatballs, and dark chocolate almond barks. He dropped the tray on the table and sat down."Shouldn't you be using champagne glasses for those?" I joined him."I broke them," I picked the bottle first. It was one of my favorite wines. "So how are you doing? Since you got out,""Not good. My grandparents are shipping me off to I
Larissa's viewpointI stood at the airport, listening to my Dad nag about how he'd like to return home and meet his house the same way he left it. It was the day after the wedding. My Dad and Mikayla were officially married. Zayne got me the VIP pass to the hotel I asked him to. I still couldn't shake off the grin on my face from the way my parents reacted. Though it was a gift Zayne spent effort on, it was still from me. Dad made sure to rub that on my face but Mikayla was sincerely grateful. I wish I could exclude him from the honeymoon."And you cannot throw or attend any party in our absence. Odette and Tristan, if I find out you broke anything in another argument again, I'll destroy your souls, use your flesh to make leather, and wear them as boots—""Dad, that's not—""Boots!" He snarled, daring us to correct him again. "Larissa, I promise you, I will hunt you to the end of the earth even in death if you dare redecorate my house," he growled, glaring daggers at me. I gasped. How
Larissa's viewpoint"Are you hurt?" The expected question. He needed to stop worrying about me. It was sweet of him but also unnecessary. I wasn't like before. If it hurt, I'd let him know."I'm fine, don't worry,""I’m still going to… fuck me," he groaned when my walls clenched hard around him. He fell over, using his hands to hold up his weight from compressing me. "Damn. I'm going to go a little stronger than before. Please don't hesitate to–""Tell you if it hurts or if I can't handle it, yes, I know. Can you move now?""Remember to—""For goodness's sake, I will," I laughed, a bit impatient and lust showing in my tone. "I promise I won't foolishly take more than I can handle so please continue or I'll flip us over and fuck you myself. You know, that was the plan when I wore this underwear. The plan was to tie you up and have my way with you," Zayne chuckled and put strength in his arms, holding back his desire (as always) to destroy my insides recklessly, and the result of that w
Larissa's viewpoint"I've arrived!" I shouted, kicking Zayne's bedroom door open. He spun the giant white ball chair around, revealing the red interior. He looked at me flatly and I grinned in response. "Zaddy, I'm home!" I shrieked again. Of course, we were at his private house. We agreed to meet there, but he didn't have the large chair the last time I came."That door is worth someone's yearly salary, be careful with it," I nodded, swinging the bags in my hands happily. "You're wearing a coat," he stated."For dramatic reveal," I replied, dropping the bags on the glass table. "And no, I'm not bothered by what my mother said to me. If anything, I feel sorry for myself," he stretched his hands out, gesturing for me to come closer. I planned to go over to him anyway. "I feel pity and disappointment for myself. I allowed the fear of what I might be like if I became anything like her to torment me for years. I feared becoming like her the most but seeing her right now, I'm forced to won
Larissa's viewpointI exhaled through my nostrils, rubbing my throbbing forehead. My body felt heavy and in desperate need of a massage or to shut down for three straight days. It's been two weeks since Zayne left school. We barely saw each other. I couldn't be selfish and bother him with my fantasies and loneliness, so I focused on work and my parents' wedding. A lot of things were going on. I'll start from the beginning.I felt bad about what I said to Neo and wanted to make amends but I never got the chance to. Proof of illegal dealings was found in his father's office. I was greatly appalled when the truth behind their success was exposed. Neo's father owned a secret organization for prostitution and slavery. People were illegally smuggled into the country by will or by force and worked as sex workers. There was also a section for children for sick bastards who couldn't enjoy normal sexual relationships with adults. There were a lot of other illegal sexual activity, including rape
Larissa's viewpointI nervously walked into the house and the moment I did, I felt the dark and gloomy energy inside the house. The energy made a chill run down my spine, making me hug my body tightly. I looked around the house and just then, Zyaire walked into the living room, scratching the scruff of his neck as he yawned. The first thing I noticed was that his hair was a mess and his eyes were red and swollen. Zyaire had been crying."Zyaire," he halted, then slowly raised his eyes to look at me. His eyes looked lifeless. "Hi," I greeted. He looked at me coldly, then quietly continued walking."Zayne won't be able to see you now, he's busy. You can wait in his room or wait here if you wish,""What is he doing?" I asked, walking over to join him on the couch. "He sounded very miserable on the phone– your Mom, how is she?""She's alive for now,"I smacked his shoulder scoldingly. "Don't say it like that. You'll make me nervous,"He chuckled. At least I managed to pull that from him.
Starliss' viewpointIf I already didn't have a goal for my future, I would have considered becoming an actress. Masking my emotions, and pretending to be someone that I am not is a huge part of me and I'm greatly skilled at it. I'm not blowing my own horns here, I am proudly stating facts.I watched as Larissa's eyes darkened involuntarily. She was incredibly softhearted when it came to Neo but she was merciless if anyone touched Odette. Anyone being able to hurt Odette and Tristan was the height of her rage. She might not always react with anger, but she always makes the right decision when they are hurt in any way. The moment I saw the dark expression on her face, I couldn't fight back the smile I knew she wouldn't notice.Larissa turned around and walked out. I followed her quietly but stopped at the door, making sure to hide myself but look between the cracks. She knocked on the window of Neo's sports car and tapped her foot impatiently. It was something she did unconsciously when
