Hi readers. I'm so sorry about the halt in updates. I had an assignment i had to attend to. Rest assured, i will make up for it with extra chapters! Remember to vote and comment. It makes me very excited to hear from you all.
At the cafe.“What’s wrong Antonia?”Bridget sees right through the smile I'm trying to put on. I keep that smile on my face as I pick up the cup of coffee before me and take a sip. I respond calmly with a shrug, “Nothing’s wrong.”Bridget gives me a look that shows she doesn’t believe that, and I
The fashion industry hopes it will make an entrance on runways soon, but with how little there is of the fabric, everyone remains skeptical.~I hand the tablet back to Bridget and add sulkily, “It was bought by someone the auctioneer kept referring to as ‘His Excellency the Senator.’ I literally ha
I blink as I hear Bridget’s words, taking it in and trying to search for a suitable reaction. I never knew she had someone she was seeing.I know she has a boyfriend, unless, “You broke up with Paul.”She shakes her head, “He broke up with me and got married to some blonde Barbie doll the next day.”
Bridget and I conclude breakfast a few minutes before noon. The cafe owners know we’re regulars so no one complains about the amount of time we spend here. Going out now, I feel really good. Way better than I was feeling this morning. Bridget stops in front of my car and gives a wolf whistle. I rol
Tieran stands there with an unreadable look on his face and I stand, feeling something hot and violent going through my veins. It’s violent and at the same time it’s powerfully sad and I can't think. I can’t see anything but the shame that is filling me up so thoroughly.Malachi just kissed me, but
“Should I call the doctor?”Tieran’s concern is a line on his face and it’s heartwarming, but I shake my head in the negative. A doctor would tell me it's morning sickness and I already know that.Plus, it’s better to think Malachi is the one who made me hurl my guts out. He kissed me with the same
Malachi’s pov.The taste of Antonia on my lips lingers, even as I watch her walk the grounds of my mansion with a man in tow.Tieran is acting strange. Stranger than strange, he’s acting suspicious, and I can see why he’s doing that.Tieran smiles benevolently at something Antonia says and a flash
Antonia’s pov.I’m lost in thought after Tieran and I eat. We head out to the gardens.Tieran has no idea what I want to happen, and I almost feel bad it has to. Still, Malachi has to learn a certain lesson when it comes to me and invading my personal space, and I have to be the one to teach him tha
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
