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
Malachi’s pov.I watch as Antonia flees the hall and anger bubbles up in me. i direct a cold glare to the man beside me.It wasn’t easy getting into this place the same day she would be here. I had to ask grandfather to help me out and that’s definitely a favor I'll have to pay back, so there can be
~~~~~~~~~~“Miss Elcot, is this another attack?”It feels like I can't hear anything.“Miss Elcot,can you confirm that this was an attack from His Excellency the Senator?”The reporters voices feels like it’s grating against my ears.“Miss Elcot, Miss Elcot.”I don’t even understand half of what the
Even the comment from someone who supposedly knew me in highschool, i ignore that too. The Antonia that lived with Malachi would have not. She would have sat down with this comment….. and started to remember the times she had been miserable in highschool, up until the moment she left, and how Malac
I can only feel these things in little doses but not as brightly as I used to.“Are you having another mood swing?”I shake my head in response to that question because this isn’t a mood swing. This is something else. I hear a bit of myself in my voice now when I respond, “I remember feeling this w
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
