A soft irritation kept brushing against my nose with my eyes still shut I quickly rubbed the area with the back of my hand, it went away for a brief second but it managed to come back. My eyes finally flutter open to see Ryan right in front of me with a feather at my nose, he smiled once he saw I was awake."Rise and shine, toots." He says with a hint of playfulness in his voice.I know damn wellI slap his hand away before jumping off my bed, my legs were so tangled in my blankets that I almost tripped and fell on the floor."Did you kill an animal?" I demand, did he seriously kill an innocent animal just for this?"Of course not, you're an animal activist. What kind of person do you think I am?" He bats his eyelashes at me like almost mocking my innocence, basically making fun of me. I barely know this yet I know enough to know that he's far from innocent. "Your ball of fur caught it this morning." His at my cat which was peacefully laying on the carpet with a pile of feathers aroun
I applied a dark shade of red to my plump lips, color suited my tan skin amazingly. I've never worn this lip color before, I always thought it was too bold for me but tonight just felt like the night. I ran my fingers through my soft curls trying to brush them out, and add a little bit more volume to my hair. There's no doubt in my mind that I'd look great standing next to Ryan but he isn't the one I'd want to stand by, maybe that's just cruel to say.My fingers softly touched my rosie cheek, it's crazy how similar my mom and I look. I miss her more than anything, all I wanted from her was unconditional love."Your beauty has made me speechless." Ryan whispers from behind me, his voice spooked me immediately.I turn around with a hand to my chest, my heart almost jumped from my chest. I gulped when I took in the image of him, he had on a dark grey dress shirt with a black tie and a black coat with the collar out. His hair is slick back and his chin was cleanly shaved, my eyes slowly t
"Why did you stop?" I asked."We're going to talk this out." He says.I'm going to kill him, now he wants to talk, bullshit.I tried opening the door but he locked it, so then I tried unlocking it and opening the door but he locked it again. I whipped my head at him, he was smirking, the bastard thought this was funny."Stop being childish and open my door." My tone was serious as it came out."Stop trying to run away from a conversation." He replies.I slumped back into my chair, great he was just going to sit there all night and stare at me while I decide whether to break his window or not."Ryan is going-""Don't say his name." Hudson cuts me off mid way.This caught my attention, I looked at him with innocent eyes. He looked furious at the mention of his name, this is what I wanted, jealousy."Ryan, Ryan, Ry-"This time his sentence didn't cut me off, it was his hands. He grabbed me by my waist and flipped me on his lap with my chest pressed against his steering wheel, my mouth pa
The place was flooded with people, everyone was dressed in high-end dresses and jewelry. Hudson pulled the car up to the front entering the VIP section, my door was opened by the valet. I stepped out and was met by Hudson' huge hand on my back, my eyes gracefully looked at him with a smile tugging at my lips.The inside was even better looking than the outside, the walls were covered in red splashes. Gold railing and diamonds were dripping from the ceiling, it's not a party I've been to before. This screamed rich and powerful, far too much for a transporter as he claims to be. Everyone suddenly directed all their attention to us, my smile faded away.They were watching us with a certain shock to their faces, I nervously glanced around."They're just surprised to see me with someone." He whispers inside my ear. walked over to Ryan, he was drinking some whiskey with his elbows leaned up against the table. I tried acting casually like I wasn't just railed by his best friend, my body slow
"You were my most trusted right-hand man, you betrayed me." Hudson says with his finger pointed down.Ryan shakes his head while chuckling very dryly. "I loved you like a brother, and you were spiraling down and she was scared of your wrath."Oh my God.He lowers down his weapon and glances back at me with tears in his eyes. "That's who Hudson Scott is." He says while tucking his gun back inside his pants, he grabs the bottle of whiskey and drags it alongside of him as he climbs up the stairs.I watched him sloppily sway side to side as he made it to the top, and he suddenly disappeared down the hallway.What was the point of that? Was he warning me? Does Ryan truly care about me or is this some twisted way in getting revenge on Hudson? I stared at the empty table afraid to look at him, the files I found in his office popped back inside my head. He has something planned for me, something that has to do with my past. That's why he knows so much about me, this unsettling feeling filled
The brightness of the sun was shining through all the windows making my closed eyes open up, last night's events came to the surface making me remember everything. His head was pressed against my chest and his arms circled my waist, he was holding on to me for dear life. My body was completely in his arms, my leg was hiked up his waist.I glanced down at his face, he had dried tears against his cheeks. I wanted to punch myself, no I wanted to strangle myself. What was I thinking? I can't do this to Hudson, I can't be a second copy of his wife. I can't deny that kissing Ryan last night was a mistake, it felt different with him but not in a way that can compete with Hudson.I peeled his arms off my waist, his body started squirming around and his eyes fluttered open in a confused daze. I slid to the corner of the bed, my dangled off the bed as my shoulders tried their best to relax. I could feel Ryan sit up as well except he was on the other side, divided by my coldness and guilt."I ma
Right now all I want is my mom, I just want a hug from her or a kiss on the forehead. Maybe even looking at her would bring me comfort but she's dead and I'm here.The bedroom door opened and closed, someone had come in and I'm betting it was Hudson just to torture me some more. I turned around meeting my theory, Hudson finally decided to put on a pair of sweatpants. I stared at him with tears rolling down. my cheeks, I tilted my head up not cowering away. His jaw clenched when he saw the damage he did, his eyes roamed my face trying to find answers."You ran off so quickly, that I didn't get a chance to ask you if you wanted to join us." His eyes stopped at mine, he smirked again.My facial expression turned to a disgusting one, my body physically stepped back from how cruel he was being."I'm feeling generous since you like fucking multiple guys, my best friend could even join us as well." He laughed, and my heart dropped at his sentence.Even more, tears filled my eyes, I blinked t
I felt dizzy, and everything around me felt like a vivid dream. My fingers rubbed my eyes trying to make my vision better, I must've fallen asleep on the floor but it must still be dark outside because my room only had light from the moon. I lifted myself off the floor with my elbows, my vision was still blurry. When I looked to my right I spotted a man dressed in a black hoodie and black pants, he was staring at me with a concerned glare in his eyes.My breathing deepened as I crawled back afraid he might try to kill me, the man reached his hand out to calm me down."I'm not here to hurt you." His voice had a hint of a Russian accent to it and sounded familiar but I am too afraid to try and recognize it.That's what most killers say right before actually committing the crime, his bright green eyes focused on mine."Who are you?" I whispered, my voice appearing shaky.The man smiled before bending down to my level, I brought my knees to my chest. "You grew up to be so beautiful." He hu
