I sat there in my room, trying to put the pieces together. I had everything in the back of my mind, I hadn't forgotten anything. Arianne was supposed to be dead according to River; whom I still hadn't seen because I wasn't ready to face him just yet. According to River, he shot Arianne dead but I saw them loving up at the store and she's also Camden's girlfriend who's dropped out.
And now, Gerald who would've explained everything to me was dead, how could I retrieve information? And I just knew River killed Gerald, I had a gut feeling and I could swear I was right; because for one, nobody had seen him since the day of the incident. The police
21I didn't want to involve the police but telling Jade was almost the same as telling the student union because I was ready to go all out and "get justice". I told her not to though. I was thinking about what to do when a call came through. I swiped without checking it and put it on my right ear."Hello?""Hey Eve, I haven't seen or heard from you lately so...", I definitely didn't expect him to call me. "Would you like to go out with me tonight?""Yes!!", That came out way too fast and I cleared my throat. "I meant yeah sure, I'm free tonight"
22I know what you're thinking, I should've told Grey about River but I didn't want to bring of my old problems into a new relationship. It's wrong of me to keep it from him but I just couldn't bring myself to tell him because what should I have said? My crazy ex-boyfriend who is a probable murderer is threatening and blackmailing me to keep having sex with him and running for couple of the year or he would leak my sex video? How does that sound to you? Honestly, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to tell him that so I had to keep it in.Anyways, since I was free, I decided to question Arianne subtly; get some information and basically anything I c
23Now we were sure Ari was the same Arianne River told me about; there was no way in hell we could be mistaking now, I saw her myself with him at the store the other day so there was absolutely no way I was missing this one. Now all I needed to do was get her history with River and find out if he was Gerald's murderer.The police weren't doing anything at all like they claimed, they said they were investigating but they hadn't come up with anything in a while. They knew he was strangled so why not perform the fucking autopsy, collect some DNA and run a DNA test or some of that shit like they do in the movies.They took our statements and it's been three weeks already, how long would it take the whole force to find out who killed a college student whose body was found on a lake? I wasn't surprised though, after all, he was just a good old college boy, he wasn't an influential person or anything and that was why they were
24Turns out the saying is actually true. Not all that glitters is gold. When River was doing those nice things, I thought he was a good person and I could trust him, I even hurriedly agreed to a relationship with him hoping and trusting he wasn’t like other men. Unknown to me, he was worse than other men, I regret ever meeting him.That aside, the damage had already been done, we just had to find a way to undo it. Camden still didn’t know anything about what was going on; Arianne made me promise not to tell anyone, not even Camden. She was worried her "secret" would be out and somebody would try to involve the police which would lead to her family getting hurt.Camden: I really wish I did.
25"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God", Arianne whispered to herself. "What the fuck have I done? I'm a fucking murderer, just like him", she cried as he knees met the floor painfully, the gun slipping off her hand and hitting the floor with a hard thud."Aria–""No, I'm a murderer, I'm a-a m-murderer. I k-killed him""In self defense", I raised a brow at her and her head snapped up to me immediately. I nodded, conveying my point and she thought about it for a while before her eyes turned to Grey."I don't even know what the fuck is going on", Grey raised his hands.I know, it was a lie but River deserved it, he deserved to die after everything he put everybody through and him killing Gerald. I knew it wasn't right of me to try and cover it up or even suggest it but if you were in my shoes, you would've done the same. I understood why she did what she did and she deserved happiness. S
26The day of days was finally upon us and I couldn't be any more nervous and restless. Arianne was to be pronounced not guilty by all means and I pooled my savings, alongside support from Grey, Jade, Camden, my parents and her family to get the best lawyer to defend her in court.We were all seated and waiting in court for the hearing to begin. Arianne was brought in by the police in cuffs and her parents rushed to hug, kiss and hold her. After a couple minutes, we all sat still and the judge came out looking glum as they all do."All rise!" The bailiff exclaimed. We did and when the judge sat, we were told to as well.
27"Why did you agree to a relationship with River?" She asked me."He was nice and attentive then. And what does that have to do with anything?""Tell me about the relationship between you and Arianne Willows.""We're friends and her boyfriend is my best friend. I don't get why you're asking all these weird q–""Is that why you're covering up for her?""I am not covering up for her. River was a bad person who threatened and blackmailed people, who also killed his own step brother! He deserved what he got!" I agree, I let my emotions get the better of me there but I didn't give a fuck. I know it was wrong of me to lash out in the courtroom like that but the prosecutor kept throwing dumb questions at me and I couldn't help it."How are you so sure he killed his stepbrother?" She asked coyly, giving me a side look."I saw River punchi
28I don't know what exactly it was that I said that made everybody think I was responsible for Arianne's freedom. Everyone kept thanking me, weird."I still can't get over how amazing you were in the courtroom the other day." Jade complimented for the umpteenth time."I think I hear that every minute now." I rolled my eyes playfully at her. "You already said that twice today.""Yes, I know, but you have no idea how awesome it w– ow!""You okay?" I walked to her. She was
"Eve–" "No, listen to me this time, Jade." I took a short step towards her. "I heard and saw everything, there's no need to explain anything to me anymore." I cut her off before she could get any further. "I know you already found out the truth, I'm here to tell you I still haven't found Remy!" She yelled out of frustration. That had to be the worst news I'd heard all month. What the hell? I couldn't believe she still had to conform to having sex with that son of a bitch, Grey. What if he just lied? What if he was never the one who sent the burglars? What if he doesn't even have Remy or know the whereabouts of the burglars or Remy? What if he just came up with the story on the spot so he'd have sex with Jade? What if he's lying about bringing back her child when in actual reality, he's unable to do that or he has killed the child or hurt him.
"So… you've never gone skinny-dipping before for real?" "Yeah." Raphael muffled as I drew shapes and patterns on the back of his head while he sucked my nipples. We were going to have sex and all but this position we were in was oddly comfortable, relaxing and therapeutic for the both of us. We were both naked and he had his head in between my breasts while his tongue circled my nipples constantly. Therapeutic. "I really can't believe it. I mean, everyone has skinny-dipped at least once in their life, you're just strange." I told him casually. "Says the one who has never roleplayed in her entire life. " He retorted. &nbs
"Let's go somewhere private." He whispered in my ears slowly and seductively as his lips brushed against my ears softly. "Where do you have in mind?" I asked him as I pulled his face up to mind and let my lips linger a couple inches away from his. "I booked an Augustus premium suite in Caesars so we can go there." He pressed on, not missing eye contact. There was just one thing that shone in his eyes with so much light and sparkle; Lust. He was lustful. I could tell he needed me just as much as I needed him at this point. His lust was so evident and I could tell he had all that lust for me. It made me feel so good. Plus, I was completely drunk while he was tipsy so that set the mood even more.
There were five guys altogether, Raphael, Harvey, Martins, Ramirez and Duke. Also, we didn't get any of that strong alcohol. Nobody wants to pass out at omnia. "Questions time now. enough talking. Never have I ever cheated on a partner." Alexa, Jamie, Harvey and Ramirez took the shots. "Well, she was hot and my wife was home and she seduced me. No way in hell could I resist that very spicy latina. I mean, you all wouldn't." "Yeah, true, latinas are spicy as fuck." We all agreed consecutively. Unarguably true fact there. "I mean, he had to be one of the sexiest white guys I'd ever
Then, sadly I realized I had completely forgotten the fact that it was a night club I was going to and I had done a whole freaking daytime makeup and it was so fucking angering. I punched my pillow to contain my anger and annoyance at myself. Then I realized I could just transition the whole thing into a night time makeup. I decided to just build on the daytime makeup I'd already done. I started out with my black color outline eye pencil. It comes in a creamy jet black that glides on sleekly and looks fantastic smudged out for a more lived-in look. I brushed some of my W3LL people expressionist liquid liner directly onto my hand; it wasn't exactly necessary, but I do it to ensure a sleek, crisp a
Are you free? The girls and I are hanging out tonight at omnia club tonight. Dress code is formal and fancy. I read the text from Jamie out loud. Thank goodness. I actually needed something to get my mind off all the drama that had been going on in my life lately. It was tiring and frustrating as hell. Everyday, something new kept coming up. Can't there be at least one normal day? Before I know it, tomorrow, I'll find out that I was actually a man who got changed with surgery and my real name is Ethan and not Eve. Or I wasn't born. I was an illusion that got life by some weird cryo means. Or I'm not human, the scientists were testing out mutation and somehow my kind of mutant turned human.
You see, it started when I was born, my parents adored and loved me. I was born with meningitis and in case you might not know what meningitis is, let me explain it to you.” "Meningitis is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges). Viruses or bacteria may cause meningitis." "Symptoms include headache, stiff neck, fever, and malaise. Routine vaccination has decreased the incidence of many bacterial causes; however, viral causes are still common." "Bacterial meningitis can result in severe outcomes, including permanent hearing loss, brain damage, and even death." "The three types of meningitis are viral meningitis, fungal meningitis, and bacterial meningitis. Th
"You have something important to say?" "Yes, very important." Belle replied in clarification. I didn't know why. I had absolutely no idea why but I felt like whatever she had to say was big, really big. Like way beyond me big. I wondered what was on her mind and what she had to say. I didn't know when I began to panic for absolutely no reason. I hadn't even heard her speech. "Well, we'll have to sit down for this."She said softly as she stared at me with guilt written all over her features. If she was about to tell my dads about my sugar daddy, Raphael, then she might as well just get a knife and stab me in the back physically instead. We all went to the living room and sat down but none of us looked or seemed comfortable, especially not me. "What did you want to tell us? What is this about?" I asked her carefully. &
"Spill." "What?" I was genuinely confused about what she was referring to. I was confused about everything. I wasn't expecting anyone to just pop up and say anything once I entered. I had just seen Raphael off to his car where he gave me a kiss on the forehead which had been on my mind as I walked back. Alongside the many things and theories I had been coming up with while I slowly walked back to the house. And I opened the door and walked in, only to see Belle with her hands on her waist and a suggestive smirk, right beside Rodney who looked like he just wanted to sleep. "Spill." She repeated.
