Antonia’s pov.The wait in the car for Tieran’s call to come in feels like forever, and though time is ticking away i am not going in there without at least knowing Bridget is okay. I’m still quite early to the hall, “We’ve been waiting here for the past one hour.”I shoot Ian as menacing a glare as
“Do you mind telling me why the Senator is asking for you?”I don’t realise the officer is speaking until he turns his head to look at me. Nervousness is making me trip on this dress, and i didn’t consider how hard it would be to walk in it, only that it was pretty and it would look good on me.“Or
Maybe it’s something about his eyes, or something about the way his suit clings to him. Just when nervousness begins to creep up my spine he gestures to the hallway to our left. I know an elevator system is probably in that hall, which means he’s here to escort me to his master.I swallow the feelin
I approach one of the couches and take my seat. The rest of what happens in front of me is taken in blankly with an unimpressed look, and i think he tries mildly to impress me with what happens next.The ground moves from under him.I don’t know how to describe the sensation it brings to my mind.Th
“You still can’t remember who I am can you?”My heart is pounding so hard in my chest right now. A feeling of liquid awe fills me as I watch what’s happening in the room. This looks so real, it feels like magic. The amount of technology it would take to make this happen though….I touch the flowers
Maybe he bid for it because he knows what it’s worth.I take a look at the man sitting in front of me and try to come to terms with that. That this man must have had some foreknowledge of the heritage of the Moon’s tears fabric, and that he engaged in the bid with me because he knew what it was actu
“I want 10 pairs of those jackets when they’re made.”I clench my fists in nervousness.I expected I would have to face something like this. He sounds sulky, and when I say I expected something like this, I mean I expected I would have to give something in return for the fabric. I initially wanted t
Malachi’s pov.The sound of static as the TV is turned on irritates me.~Hello everyone. This is the morning news on Channel 59 and I'm Nadia Donell. Today on headline news, Commotion at the Starlight Hall!At about 9 pm last night, a scene broke out at the entrance to the Starlight hall. One of its
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
