Larissa's viewpoint

I ate in silence, smiling and watching everyone chatter merrily. The games ended nicely and I was exhausted. Rominic won the game. I don't know how but against him, my strength was nothing. He paralyzed my legs and arms just by touching me and then he won the right to have me on his side of the football game. Of course, we had Zyaire, Jewels' Dad, and two of Rominic's Asian friends on our team along with others. We won, again. That gave us the right to choose how the karaoke game will go down tomorrow.

Rihanna took a serious liking to Odette and stuck to her like glue. She sat on Odette's lap, grinning from ear to ear like one of her favorite cartoon characters jumped into the real world and fell in love with her. For some reason, she thought Odette was mega cool and Starliss was a star fairy. She had her small hand holding Star tight, refusing to let her sit anywhere other than beside her. I'm happy for her.

Zayne had to sit next to Odette, making Odette sit betwe

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 100: she needs help

    Zayne's viewpointContentment. I was getting used to that feeling. Even though I had a lot going on for me, I never felt that way once before I met Larissa again, but I finally felt as though I achieved that. I wasn't halfway done with the plans I made for myself, but those plans no longer mattered. Sitting on the bed with my back resting against the headboard, watching her sleep peacefully and hugging my pillow, I felt all of that.It was because the seed of confidence I planted in her was finally sprouting. It was because her father wholeheartedly acknowledged me and gave me the go-ahead to get rid of Neo. It was because my family felt whole. Starliss agreed to assist me. Yes, it has a lot to do with what her father said about Neo.I always used to wonder if no one saw what he was doing to her. It didn't sound like something serious but for someone as easily manipulated as Risa, it was a huge problem. He bent her to his will. He made her live the way he wanted. He inflicted insecuri

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 101: the joy of karaoke

    Starliss' viewpoint"Yes! It's karaoke night! We're going to rock, baby!" Larissa screamed, throwing her fist into the air. Odette imitated her. That was the horror of karaoke night, the main reason we never added it to the things we do together. Larissa's voice was a free ride to the migraine kingdom and Odette's was a one-way ticket to bleeding ears. Now add them together, that's a VIP ticket to your grave.No one was looking forward to that. The people who hadn't heard them sing had no idea the terrorists they were about to unleash, but we knew, and our only hope was Zayne and Tristan. They were the only ones who could stop them from getting close to the mikes. Odette was easier to stop than Larissa. She was quite stubborn when it came to singing."We will work in teams," Savia said, "Everyone's name will be chosen randomly from this box. Serene, Zachary, Zayne, Dad Uncle Gael, Jiayi, and Phineas as well. This is so winning will be fair—""There's no such thing as fair for whoever

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 102: he asked you out?

    Larissa's viewpointI stared at myself in the mirror feeling detached from my body. I'd been feeling that way since I told Zayne what Neo told me. I didn't know why but I felt a bit disconnected from reality even if I felt completely fine. It was hard to understand but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong with me. Neo only said that because he was angry at the time. He didn't mean it and he blamed himself a lot. I forgave him, or at least, I thought I did. Didn't I? If I did, why did it still hurt?I wanted to think deeply about it but I feared that it was a topic I did not want to touch. Zayne made me spill a lot of harsh words Neo has said to me in the past. I knew I shouldn't have told him because it'd make him hate Neo more, but somewhere deep down, I also knew that I wanted him to. I needed to admit that I liked Zayne hating Neo and at the same time, I didn't. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me."Larissa! Larissa!" I heard Starliss scream. I jumped

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 103: where are you?

    Larissa's viewpointI turned off the mixer with a yawn, almost bending backward as I stretched the tension out of my body. I was exhausted. It was a busy day at Lily's. Customers were streaming in and out like a flood. I had no time to rest and we were almost out of ingredients. Lily went out to get more.Aside from that, the stress of my activity the previous weeks was taking a toll on me. Moving around with Zayne's family took a lot of energy. It was mega fun. The racing that almost killed me with joy, the food, the fights, the games, everything was fun. Odette, Savia and I went to the fight club and we got second place. We lost because Savia told us to. She increased our worth so everyone would bet on us and then Zachary placed a bet on the opposite team. That's right, Zachary.We got caught sneaking out so Savia dragged him along. That was when she changed the plan. We won so much money and ran away from the club before we got caught. And we also went in disguise. My bank account

    Zayne's viewpoint“You need to come home before dinner. Dad finally convinced Mom to get another checkup regarding her health. We'll need to be around in case it's necessary. I have a feeling we will.” I read Zach's text, pulling my eyebrows together.After Rihanna told me what she observed, I made sure to inform Savia and Zachary. Savia was able to pull the truth out of her mouth. Mom was sick and she wanted to hide it. She claimed that it wasn't serious but we all knew that if she didn't fear that it was serious, she wouldn't have hidden it. It only meant one thing. She had already gone for the test and nothing was found wrong with her health but it kept deteriorating so she feared the worst.That alone was enough to make anxiety eat into us.No matter what Savia did, she refused to go. She didn't want to learn the truth that there was a possible life-and-death situation, so we had to inform Dad. He was our only hope and even he took time to convince her. The result came out okay.

    Zayne's viewpoint"Bunny Bunny!!!" I jerked up from the bed at her scream, a little flustered. "Bunny Bunny!" She cried again. I looked at her still confused. "Mommy is screaming at Daddy!!!""What?! Why?!""I don't know," she cried. "Waaah! Bunny Bunny, please stop Mommy," I jumped out of the bed and ran out of the room, right as Zachary ran out of his room. He had no idea either. For the first time, we used the elevator. Mom was furious, extremely furious which was something we hadn't seen in a very long time."I told you to get a fucking vasectomy but your unnecessary goddamn pride wouldn't let you listen! I'm going to lose my life because of you!!! The fuck I'm going to lose my children, my very breath! I fucking hate you right now!!!" Death? Why is she talking about death?"You have only one thing to do, not get me pregnant! You know that after Rihanna I was warned against getting pregnant. You know it! You fucking know it!

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 106: What did Neo do this time?

    Larissa's viewpointI glanced at my phone on the coffee table, my heart pounding and sinking in my chest for the umpteenth time. He still hadn't called me. It was late into the afternoon and Zayne was yet to respond to my messages or calls. He'd been acting weird for days, lashing out at me when I did nothing wrong, but I pretended like everything was fine.Neo was right. How long do I have to swallow being at the receiving end of his anger tantrum? What did I do to upset him? I thought we were okay after what happened in the car, and I was really looking forward to choosing Mikayla's wedding dress and spending time with his sisters, but all of that was canceled. None of his family was picking up and I was worried, but Neo insisted that it was wrong to ignore me no matter what and that I shouldn't be the one to call first.I wanted to, badly.We sat in the living room, Starliss sitting between Neo and me with her arms folded and her lips curved into a frown.

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 Started With A Kiss   Epilogue

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 114: pull yourself together

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 113: reckless decisions (2)

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 112: reckless decisions

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 111: you'll survive

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 110: this isn't good for my heart

    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

  • It Started With A Kiss   Chapter 109: Henrietta

    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.
