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
Lunch comes to an end with a question on my mind. I ask myself if my father just needs another shot at life.From what he told me about his parents, i don’t think he ever had that. He’s been molding himself to fit into the role of an old man who’s quietly resigned from life, but that only happened b
My contact will be added into your phone once you are in possession of the keys.I’m at your service whenever you need me.”I can’t even summon the energy to make a sound or groan out a comment. I had the feeling something like this would happen, and despite how i do not like it, it also feels surre
Such words would have hurt me before but this time i take a step forward, closing the gap between me and Sienna and speaking so lowly that my voice is barely a whisper, but one she can hear very well, “The man i’m spreading my legs for doesn’t think so. I’m very worthy of that man and he’s ten times
“Sienna!”I kneel on the floor and cradle Malachi’s mother’s head in my laps. I tap her face lightly and i ask tentatively, “Sienna? Sienna, are you okay?”She’s alive, I can see her chest rising and falling. Now i just need to know if she can see and know enough not to think i tried to kill her.Ma
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
