Kael

I smirked, elated when I saw the number across my phone screen.

He must have seen the house already.

"Hello, hon."

"What is this?"

"What?"

"This. The house. You don't actually mean it, right?"

"The fact that you own the house. I do. The papers are in the drawers in the first room upstairs, and your sister's fees have been paid."

"What made you think you could make that decision behind my back?!"

"What?"

I felt the smile fade off my face. "Don't you like it?"

"It's not that. Spending money on me is nice, but you should have spoken to me first. My sister doesn't even know you yet, and you what? What am I meant to tell her?"

To be honest, I didn't even think that far, but he doesn't have to sound so upset, does he?

I frowned and raised an eyebrow when he cut the call.

"Huh?"

Is he really that annoyed?

The thought of him being angry with me at all didn't just sit right with me.

I immediately dialed a number, "Didn't you advise me to buy him things?"

I waited for Lyra to say something

    GregGia was still as flabbergasted when she returned an hour later from wherever she went, and she stared at me for a while."You have successfully managed to traumatize me even more than our parents ever did."I can only imagine."I'm sorry."She sat on the kitchen counter and collected the cup of water I was about to drink."So who is he? A fling? Your boyfriend?"Boyfriend?I would love to call him that, but he hasn't asked me and probably wouldn't, so..."A... Situationship."She pursed her lips and stared, "So stuck in between, to be precise?""Kind of."She placed the glass on the counter when she finished and wiped her mouth. "Are you sure you want to do that, though?"I shrugged and leaned against the counter. "We like each other, so...""And you?" I asked when we both went silent."What?""Is anybody in the picture?""No. I'm still trying to get my life together."Right..."Besides, I won't keep it from you if I do get one later.""Hmm..."It was kind of a pact we made when

    GregWe went to his apartment after we finished eating, the ride filled with mumblings and kisses as a designated driver drove, and we both stumbled into his apartment when we got there.I wasn't even sure what the place looked like; I was just focused on this man that was now my boyfriend.Kael or Benjamin Clarke.I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.I hadn't even been expecting the question at all considering the fact that it had seemed like he was never going to ask, thanks to the whole situation, but he had, and I'm glad.I pushed him onto the bed and slid down his body till I was face to face with his tight trousers."Fuck." His face beamed.I smirked.Yeah, that's right.He just had a way of responding to me that always made me feel powerful. Like he lost all control when he was around me, and I was determined to make him lose it even more tonight.He relaxed against the bed and helped me take off his trousers before spreading his legs again, and I got to suckin

    GregI resigned from Hurley Fashion House at the same time I finished with my course at the institute I was studying at, and the first person to wish me congratulations was my sister. She was back in school now, thanks to Greg and his generosity constantly, and the next people that came to celebrate me were my friends, Bella and Lyra at the graduation ceremony in the school."Finally, you're the designer you've always wanted to be.""Yup. I am."I couldn't believe it.Studying business management has been one of the many ideas of my parents that stuck with me, but fashion has been something I've loved since I was a kid."Where is Kael, or isn't he coming?"The million-dollar question.I glanced around again for the hundredth time amongst the other family and friends who came to celebrate their loved ones but still didn't see him.He didn't even call to say he would be late or anything, or maybe something came up.I smiled with Lyra and tried to stomp the disappointment."Let's go tak

    GregLyra and Adrian finally picked a date for their wedding a month after I moved to Barcelona, which was also around the time she gave birth, and I went back to Rome to help with the preparations.The guest list, the gown, the cake, the invitation design, then the venue.Adrian had already decided on Thailand with her, and they put together their guests from both sides.It wasn't up to a hundred.First of all, because of attention—they didn't want that—and second of all, because they just want to have the moment with close family and friends.I loved the whole theme and vibe and teared up even more when she went for her first fitting with the designer.Jolene Craig. One of the best designers in Italy.She looks so beautiful.Bella agreed too.The lace, the shape, she accentuated all of that with her aura.I just couldn't wait to see Adrian's expression when he sees her.Next was the cake, which we helped pick the design of, and we chose the outfits for the bridesmaids, us, and Betha

    BellaUgh, I couldn't believe I got caught after everything.The ship, the motels, the tunnels, and wearing the freaking hoodie I've been wearing everywhere I go.The police still caught me on entering the country."You have a right to a lawyer...." Blah blah, and blah, and all that, they said when they handcuffed me, and they threw me into this van.I sighed and tried to adjust my wrist in the handcuffs even though there was literally no space."Stop moving." The man beside me snapped and stared, and I scowled for a minute before averting my gaze from him.At least it was the police who had caught me, not them, so I was still better off."Get down."I did so with the help of the officer when we got to the FBI office, and they dragged me along till I was seated in an empty room with grey walls and a single table in the midst of it.I stared at the single window or mirror in the room, which I knew the officers were just staring at me from the other side, and I smiled."Let's get this o

    Bella"Sì. E tu?" Yes. You? I asked as I remained in my position.She sat up and raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"Oh great, she can speak English and seems pretty good at it too."I don't know. You tell me.""Smart." She said as she stood up to take a few steps towards me.I tried my best not to step back."Not making assumptions. It's a good approach to living in jail here and might just help you live longer than a week."I gasped and tried to stop her when she suddenly pulled the hair tie off my hair.My hair fell in a cascade around my shoulders. I should have gotten that haircut before all this."Thanks." She said as she pulled her hair up into a messy ponytail."Why would you do that?"She didn't reply as she went back to lying down and closing her eyes, and I scoffed.Okay, rude.I tried to access her again."You didn't answer my question, though."She didn't say anything again.I wondered what the answer might be.Her first time or second time.Or wait, she could have be

    BellaThe following days were a repetition of the past few days.Wake up, shower, eat, mingle around the field, get bullied, work in the kitchen, do some homemade workout I learned, shower, eat, then sleep.I hardly had conversations with my cellmate since she was always to herself, and I rarely backed down for my bullies.I hated bullies, and I made sure to let them know.The next morning, though, went a different way because some bullies thought it wise to harass me while bathing.It happened suddenly.Hands groping me while I tried to clear the soap from my eyes and some grabbing my breast while at it."You bitches!"They held me and tried to take me to a corner where they could do God knows what until we all paused.One hand left me.Another.Then there were thuds around me.I wasn't sure what was going on as I had soap in my eyes, and I felt a stronger hand grab me after a minute.Water.Oh, thank God.Then I opened my eyes.It was my cellmate, and the other ladies in the bathroo

    Quinn"You didn't come with the girl." I turned around sharply, holding my knife to Juan's throat before he could even move an inch from the door where we stood in the room, and he rubbed his throat slightly when I dropped the knife."Didn't see the need to." "What happened?" I asked as I walked past Matteo, Jose's most trusted bodyguard, to the bed where he was lying on, and I turned back to glance at Juan."Another attack. The doctor was around... Thankfully."More like unfortunately.I could see it on his face, even though he didn't say that out loud."And why are you here?"He shrugged, leaning against the closed door as I turned back to stare at the IV drip and monitor stationed beside him, and I sighed at the state he was in."You said that like I have a hidden agenda.""You sound like you have one."He chuckled, "I just came to see my beloved brother. Pity he didn't stay awake long enough to finish our conversation."I furrowed my eyebrows at that.The statement in itself was

    BellaI barely made it back into my own room before Quinn's door was opening across from mine.Damn, did she see me?I hope not.I stretched my hands back behind me to the dress's zip in an attempt to seem like I was doing something."What are you doing?"I nearly jumped out of my skin when the voice asked so close to my ear. I hadn't even heard her coming in. She stepped back when I turned around immediately."What the fuck? What are you doing in my room?"She raised an eyebrow. "You left the door open. Besides, you seemed like you were struggling with the dress.""I'm not!""Fine." She looked at me warily for a second or two before making her way out of my room again.Fuck!I didn't even realize I had been holding my breath.I took multiple deep breaths the minute my body collapsed against the bed.But come to think of it, why was I so agitated?It's not like she could kill me for eavesdropping or had said anything important.She had only said two to three sentences with a tone that

    Quinn"What was that?!" Gary asked as we made it to the ground where I detached my body from the rope I had tied to the table in the study. Riley let go of me.It had literally gone sideways.Everything.The guy, the kiss in the hallway, and now, a fucking alarm I didn't know about.I was pissed, to say the least."Come on!" I held Riley's hand and ran off in the direction of a gate I knew was hidden behind tall trees and flowers at the back of the house.It was kind of like an emergency exit for the general and his family, but I had used my disguise as a guard to unlock its safety in case of a moment like this."Guys!" I shouted above the gun sounds while trying to keep my head down."Come to the back gate I told you about. They found us out.""Shit!"Yeah, shit! It was annoying.I pulled on Riley's hand once we got to the gate that thankfully opened once I gave it a push, and I felt a slight sting on my arm right before making it outside with Riley.It wasn't so painful, I would say

    Bella"My God, I'm so sorry." I immediately glanced around for a napkin or something.He brought one out of his pocket."No, it's fine. I actually forgot you speak English too."Okay, seems like I'm meant to know him.Fuck!"Sorry for startling you.""No, it's fine."Thankfully the stain reduced, but it was still evident to my eyes that I spilled my drink on this dude."So..."I put on a smile and accepted his kiss on both of my cheeks before stepping back again."Nice to see you again.""Yeah..."I nodded, trying desperately to keep my smile as bright as I could."Dance?"I glanced at the dancing floor he pointed to and accepted his offer after seeing him now politely with his hand stretched forward.Oh fuck me!"Do you know him?" I jumped yet again, this time more subtly, as Gary's voice filled my ear, and I glanced at my new partner to see if he noticed or heard that."Shut the fuck up, Gary. How is she meant to answer you?I know, right?For once, we were on the same page."So...

    BellaGod, I am so nervous.The party was today, and Quinn telling me now that I'm actually to meet her at the party and not go together today was making it even worse."So that's that, okay?""What?" I glanced up at her confused, the last few sentences she heard completely in the air because I didn't hear any of it."I'm asking if you remember the plan.""Yes, yes, I do.""Great." She picked up a bag of tools and devices she had packed together before heading to the door, and as if on cue, a car pulled up in front of the door outside."Baby girl!" I stood up to glance outside when I heard the voice.Oh, it's that guy.The guy from the borderline who had come with another police officer or commissioner or something.Gary.He was wearing a simple shirt and pants now."Don't call me that."I watched as the guy gave her a hug or tried to until she jabbed him in the ribs."Fuck! Really?"She strapped the large bag over her shoulders and turned back to face me before looking at him."Don'

    Bella"Why are you closing your eyes?"I popped them open when her voice asked that question."N-nothing. The water was getting into my eyes."I pushed her back and stood under the water properly to wash the bleach off.I could feel her eyes on me.Fuck.I was wet and hot and bothered, and her staring at me like this was not going to make it any better.We headed back to the mirror, both drenched when I finished with the wash.Now it was time for the dye.Thankfully, I was wearing a sports bra underneath my shirt, so she wouldn't know how hard my nipples were; besides, it seemed like she was nonchalant enough.Like she hadn't felt that.That tension.I washed and blow-dried my hair after the dye had sat a while in my hair, then we were done.Or so I thought until..."We're going to give you a little haircut too."To say the least, at the end of everything, about two hours later, I stared at a different face in the mirror.Short hair, wolf edges, and bangs.It was crazy how talented sh

    BellaThe next few days were uneventful.Just me, lying around and watching some TV while my captor paced around and did some workouts. She had this gym/workout room in the basement and never had the nightmare episode again.I wonder what could have made me have such an intense nightmare the other night.By day six of staying after my running away episode, I could say my leg was feeling better.It was still painful if I put too much pressure on the injured leg, but not enough for me to yelp or scream.It was definitely getting better."Let me see."I jumped, startled, when my captor suddenly appeared in front of me while I was testing out the level of pain my leg could accept the next afternoon.It was even better than yesterday and less painful now.I flinched when her hands wrapped around it."What? Is it still painful?""No." I averted my gaze.Just... Her hand felt cold against my—I would say warm—leg.I tried to remain still and not have any other reaction as she pressed on parti

    QuinnI took out my phone to call Jose once I finished washing the dishes."Quinn." He coughed repeatedly and sighed when the episode ended."Are you okay?""Just managing as much as I can."Which isn't a lot.It's crazy how much the sickness had taken its toll on him."And Riley?""She's okay. She hasn't run away in the past few hours, so we can be grateful for that, but I still don't think the operation is a good idea. She seems like she isn't ready for this world at all.""No one is ever ready.""But don't you think you should tell her everything first?"I just felt like she deserves to know, even though I don't normally deal with stuff like this, but there was also the possibility of her crashing out on Jose, which I didn't want.To say the least, I just don't have a good feeling about this, and it was making me anxious."After the operation, I'll tell her.""You're sure."He gave a hum, which we both knew wasn't certain, and cut the call after a few moments.It is dynamic, the re

    Bella"Here is the plan...""Alessio is as much a party-thrower as he is a general. Father to two children, a beautiful wife..." She pointed to the woman's picture under the guy's picture, "Yet he loves to fuck around.""He has various houses across the states, thanks to his connections and corruption, I'll say, but this..." She sorted out the document to bring on too the blueprint I had mentioned earlier."...is where he would be holding the next party. His birthday party."This was still ridiculous to me, but as long as it's just hacking... right? I could do that remotely but something was telling me that that is not going to be the case.Ugh!"This is the ballroom where the party will be held." She pointed to a section on the paper, "Then this is the passageway that leads to the main living room.""Here, we have his bedroom and study, and that is where our prize is. The study."I glanced at the many rooms and floors sitting in between the main living room and study.This wasn't al
