Bridget is twitching where she’s seated. She drove us to a diner and had the employees clear the restaurant so we could have it all to ourselves. I said there was no need for that, but her response was simple, “You’ll hate yourself if I take you home and we miss the rest of what we have planned fo
Ares knows nothing about me or Malachi more than what he’s seen or been told. He’s a reliable source to tell me I'm crazy and maybe getting a total stranger to tell me I'm crazy is what I need.His footsteps announce his arrival, dragging me out of my thoughts. He deposits the haul of a small mound
Hi again very special reader (✿◡‿◡)It is your very grateful author here, first to apologize for the irregular updates. This story is taking me to very unexpected directions, and sometimes i need a break to thoroughly think of what to do.Also, Malachi cutting and dyeing his hair just to get into An
Bridget’s pov.“We’re only going to do this once right?” Ian kisses the side of my neck, stealing quivers from my lips and infusing a shakiness into my limbs as I dig my hands into his hair. I ask as I arch up against him, “We’re only doing this to get it out of our system? Right?”The answer I get
We are crazy.Me especially, because I know all the signs of seduction. Wasn’t I just judging some guy for getting seduced the day I met with David in the diner?I could see it from a mile away that Ian’s heavy gaze wasn’t just because he was still annoyed at how Tieran had dismissed him yesterday,
Antonia’s pov.“Ian is acting so rude.” Bridget is staring straight ahead as she drives but I know she can hear me. I’ve never been one to use my tongue in a sharp way so I don't know how to do it and I’m sure if I was to get angry and lash out at Ian, I might not get my point across and it would f
I see Bridget stiffen beside me and it makes me chuckle, because she does not like Malachi. Not one bit. But I'm going somewhere with this.“Him being attractive doesn’t directly equate to me being unattractive though. He can make me feel like that, but as long as I do not believe it then we’re okay
I run all the way to Bridget. I run so hard that i even bump into her. She screams, and i have to clasp my hand over her mouth, “Shh. It’s me. It’s me.Antonia.”Bridget nods frantically, signifying that she has gotten the message. Yet the moment i take my hands off her mouth she furiously whispers
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
