That I am worthy of love, and respect. That I'm someone to be looked at with pride. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I do today. I’ve never felt more loved, because my father, Damien Elcot Grey, opened the doors of his house just for me. Skye’s voice seeps into my ears again, bland and disdainf
Tieran’s pov. Meddling in people’s affairs has never been my thing. Yet as I sit in my office and cast my eyes on the ceiling, I can't help but think back to Antonia. To the tears in her eyes she was trying so bravely to hide because of my little nephew. Malachi and I are barely four years apart
I need to see one of them first, and I know which one I have to. Every time I drive into the Finn mansion, I'm impressed to see how much it has been improved upon. Sienna always had something for architecture, and it shows in how she’s modified this place. The butler goes forward to announce my pre
Antonia’s pov. Something comes in the mail and a maid takes it in. My father takes it up to the upper levels of the mansion and while he does so, I'm watching him, feeling like shit as I mope in the garden because of what Malachi said. His words ring repeatedly in my ear and I ask myself why I sho
My father only smiles and nods. I don’t know what to do so I hug him, because he’s being so good to me, I don't know what to say. He hugs me back and it’s heartfelt. I pull back and ask him, “I thought you stepped out of business officially a few years ago.” He nods, “Times have changed now. This
The drive to Tieran’s house is short and fast. Worry builds up in my heart constantly because of the disturbance that suddenly happened at the mall. Images of the man keep flashing past behind my eyes and I can't shake off the thought that he wanted to say something. Of the thought that I'd seen hi
Tieran’s guests are all nice and courteous, and I have to give it to them, they do their best to hide the fact that they’re intimidated by Tieran. Only a few of the males present do not look scared or intimidated by him. I know from their identities that they’re on Tieran’s level in the business wo
I walk over as cautiously as I can and I can see everyone is acting calmly. There aren’t that many guests in the house itself right now. Tieran’s secretary had them all moved outside. The tension I feel once I come near Tieran is bone-rattling. Though I can see nothing of it on his face, I know th
Why didn’t i see something like this happening?”Watch your step.”Malachi’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts again and i feel a shudder course through my spine. This fashion show - the runway - everything is being broadcasted which means if Grandfather was paying any attention, he must have seen w
I almost run as i make my way towards the general hall. Tieran is fast on my heels and i can see the slight confusion in his eyes - i can see the immediate recognition at the sight of that baby.What in hell’s name are they even doing here?I get down and my heart drops into my stomach. She’s making
A question slips out of my lips before i can stop myself, “Are you sure you want to leave with me after this?”Ever since he suggested it, the questions have been brewing at the back of my mind.Disappearing after my fashion show is one thing. I might be the talk of many shows right now, but i’m sti
I walk down the hallway and try to shake off the icky feeling that clings to my skin from meeting Skye.I can’t believe i ever thought the reason Malachi wanted her was because maybe despite all odds, she was just genuinely a good person. Someone better than i am.Skye is nothing but a snake and a b
The floor shifts and rolls. The very image of fluffy clouds and radiant light.I can see people discussing, talking. Armed with cameras, all of them.Tonigt is going to be a defining night.”Well if it isn’t the talk of the town.”I turn immediately to see a female walking towards me.It’s been a lo
Bridget jacks me away the moment she catches the sight of me. She downright ignores Malachi and glares at him when he tries to follow us. He glares right back but relents and walks off, but not before he directs a look my way.Not before he stares at me long and hard and so well i know he’s doing it
Malachi pulls back almost immediately, and as his eyes turn to me i see something shift in his expression.He smiles. The act is rare enough that i’m stunned but the look it gives him also lights up his face quite well. Malachi’s vopice is tinged with some humor as he responds, “I wouldn’t resort t
Antonia's pov.The sky is rippling with stars and i begin to fidget in the car as we drive out to the Starlight hall.I’m dressed in a simple gown.Long flowing silk is sewn in with some of the moon’s tears fabric, and embossed with a subtle but ripping waterfall of diamonds and jewels. As estravaga
I have something important to do here. I’m not leaving it and going off to have sex with him, especially not on a day like today. It’s too important.”Is there ever a day you’ll put yourself first?”The question makes a line of static ring in my brain for a while but before i can respond Ian goes o
