I dunno whether I should be mad that Kane is with his brother's murderer or mad that I can’t hear what they're talking about. “What are they doing together?” “I dunno, you're asking me? I should be asking you! You're the one that was in love with him.” “He’s your step son!” “As much as I’d love to continue this argument, it's not going to lead us anywhere. But I do think he’s here for a specific reason and it’s not to be buddies.” “I’m going in.” Elena grabs my arm and pulls me back towards her. “Nope, you're not going anywhere, it’s not wise.” “It’s not like he’s going to kill me.” “He won’t but is it not better to contact Kane about this later not here.” “Ugh fine.” I say knowing damn well I’m lying. “I’m going back to the car.” The moment I leave Elena’s side I start to run towards the entrance. “Aurelia, don’t do this.” I hear Elena say through the earpiece. I ignore her and immediately pull out my gun. I slowly creep through the door and make my way towards th
It doesn’t take much time before I reach the car. “Aurelia, You really have a death wish?” Elena says while I get in. “He’s obsessed with me, he’s not going to kill me.” “But his brother will.” “Just drive.” She starts the car and we immediately move. “Why didn’t you tell Kane the truth about who told you the whole truth?” “Because he wouldn’t be happy if he found out I was still talking to you.” “Here I was thinking it was for my safety.” “Come on Elena, Kane wouldn’t kill you.” “He wanted to.” “Can you blame him?” We arrive and I get out of the car. “Thanks for the drive, bye.” I say before going back to my dorm. I see that Stacy’s car isn’t in the parking lot so I know she’s not around. Knowing her she’s probably with some guy. I go up the elevator and open my door once I reach it. I lock it and turn to go to my bed and Lo and behold, Kane is sitting on it. “You got here rather late.” “What are you doing here Kane. I could have screamed.” “I came to see y
The beauty of hating someone needs to be studied. I find joy in seeing Leonard in pain. I saw a notification from my phone this morning. It was from Kane. He sent me a video of Leonard howling and screaming on the floor. I really do love this man. Kane hasn’t had any leads from our plan. He keeps ranting about how Isabelle has fled from the face of earth, So i decided to start looking for Isabelle’s leads on my own. One of the king's annual festivals which no one attends unless they're rich, invited or a plus one is coming soon. Lucky for me I know someone who once dated someone from the royal line. Ella. I pull out my phone and dial her number. “Hey love.” “Aurelia! I missed you so much. The last time we spoke was on your birthday.” “Yeah and again thank you guys so much for the surprise.” “Of Course. What is it though? You don’t usually just call people for nothing, knowing you you're looking for something.” “I actually wanted to talk to you.” “Well.. talk.” “No like
I’ve called Aurelia about fifteen times now and she still hasn’t answered. I’m worried about her but at the same time she could be bathing or something that could have caused her to not be with her phone. I can’t help but have this nagging feeling that she’s in trouble. I decided to go check out her dorm to see if she’s returned yet. It wasn’t hard for Leonard to find out where she lived so he had filled me in, he even helped me with a duplicate key, that man and his connections. That’s how I had managed to see her the day she saw me here. It doesn’t take much time before I reach her room. I knock twice yet no one answers. I go to knock the third time and someone opens the door. “Hello, how can I help you?” A random woman says. “Hey, I’m Kane.” “Oh my goodness. YOU! Aurelia told me so much about you, I'm Stacy.” She is a little too excited. She holds out her hand but I shake my head. “She did say you were rude.” “Is she around?” “Actually, no she stepped out a while ago b
12 strokes of midnight was closed the night Rune was killed. I sometimes wish it was still open because I seem to have no other purpose in life but only in terms of career. I’m presently on my way back home after buying groceries. I do not like buying groceries but my husband and I seem to have switched duties now that he has a decent job and I don’t. My phone starts to ring so I connect it to the Bluetooth of my car. I check the caller ID but it’s an unknown number, I answer. “Hello, who am I speaking with?” “That’s not really important seeing as your husband is about to die.” My hands go stiff on the steering wheel and I almost bump into an old woman, I immediately stop the car on the side of the road. “What do you want?” I say whilst grasping my phone like I’m about to break it. “Simple, tell me where your precious little friend is hiding.” “Please I don’t know who you're talking about!” I scream. My voice wobbled. “Oh but you do, you were with her recently… Does Ro
I wake up in what seems like a room—-wait where am I? I’m about to start sitting up straight but everything comes crashing down like a slideshow in a cinema. Ella, Nick, Isabella. Now that I think of it, why did they put me in such a comfortable king size bed? “-we need to make sure I make Rowan pay me a large amount before we give him to her!” I open my eyes more than when I had woken up so that I can see who it was that spoke. I instantly shut them due to the overbearing light that slices through them. “Looks like someone’s awake.” Ella says. “The curtains.” I say softly. Not because I want to speak lightly but because my throat feels dry. I hear the curtains close so I finally open my eyes fully. I am indeed in a fancy room. There are two people in the room. One is staring at me, that must be Nick, the one who spoke. The other is Ella who is bringing me water. She tries to make me drink it with the cup in her hands but I take it from her hand and drink it on my own. “Stu
Hearing Kane say Rowan killed Richard doesn’t upset me the way it should because Richard was a horrible person but it still doesn't mean he deserved to die. Rowan is an evil man. “Kane.. I’m so sorry-” “It’s fine, I never liked him anyway.” “If Rune was here he’d be so happy.” “Indeed.” “Where are we going anyway?” “I bought a house.” “You bought what now? Do you know how expensive land itself is in Italy, let alone building a whole house?” “You're forgetting who I am clearly.” “Is it far from here-” kanes phone starts ringing so I pick up since he’s driving. It’s Elena. Finally, “Hey Elena, where have you been?” “Aurelia oh my goodness thank God you're okay.” Her voice sounds shaky. “I’m fine, what’s wrong?” “Well my husband is dead so a lot is wrong.. can you um give Kane the phone.” “Sure, hold on.” I place the phone on kanes ear while he talks to her. “What is it now?” He asks Elena. I can’t hear what she’s saying. “Can I put it on speaker?” I ask. Kane look
My arms have been killing me for the past few hours yet Kane doesn't want to allow me to breathe. “Kane please, we’ve been at this for hours! I’m exhausted.” “You’re the one that wants to kill people, you gotta do what you gotta do.” Kane has been teaching me how to fight. We’re presently fighting each other but he told me to focus on punches for now. He has a gym in his house but it’s a different type of gym. It almost looks like a room for learning how to kill people literally. It has archery equipment, arrows, guns— different types of guns and other stuff. “Nope I can’t do this anymore.” I fall flat on the carpet floor. “Here, drink this.” He hands me a water bottle. “When’s Elena going to be here?” I start to gulp my water down. “Soon, she texted that she’s already arrived. She’s just busy with security.” “So why don’t you go pick her up?” “She told me it’d be safer if she came alone.” “How the hell is that safer-” “Hey don’t look at me. It was her decision.” He raise
