Tieran’s eyes are the same silver as his car.I don’t know why i never noticed that, or why i only noticed it now, but now i can’t stop staring at his eyes, especially when they gleam in interest like this. He keeps his eyes on the road, but i can see them stroll ever so lightly to me every once in
I don’t know why i was feeling so nervous. The terms of the contract are negotoiable, but they’re already pretty good, good enough that i don’t think there’s anything i can ask for that won’t seem like an overreach on my end.There’s a stable interest rate though, one that makes me shoot a sly look
That can’t be the reason he’s around so often though.“Antonia? Are you listening to me?”Bridget’s voice calls me out of my thoughts again. I admit straightaway, “I wasn’t, sorry. I was thinking about something.”Bridget allows a period of silence, and then she asks, “Did something happen with Tier
The Franc Robinson hotel is one of the most expensive hotels in this city and the next four ones beyond us. To get in, you either spend half a million dollars for a week spentg in this place or you get invited.Invitation is based solely on the owner’s discretion. In essence, it’s a hotel for the fi
Tieran will be overjoyed to see him on his legs again, but he’s going to have to get back on the wheelchair again. When we get to the, elevator, the chair is there and i see fromm the way he collapses into it that this walk has been exhausting for him. I haven’t asked what te exact damage to his l
He must have seen that the order was cancelled, and then waited to see what i would do.“You must like him to actually try condoning the piss poor behaviour his actions portray.” I know he’s talking about Malachi. And i know he knows all about the furniture fiasco. I can also see that he’s angry, a
My father nods and gestures to the table and chairs set out on the rooftop. We’re the only ones here, and as much as i want to ask him about exactly how much power he has to be able to reserve the whole rooftop to himself, i know that isn’t the question i need to ask. I already have a fair estimatio
“You want to make more money?”My father sounds a bit taken aback, but i nod like it’s nothing. Like we’re talking about the weather.I know two things for a fact. If some money can be made from little to no effort, then more money can be made from some actual effort. If i can make money in the stoc
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
