“How dare you.” I say. “Did you really think I would be okay with my father getting murdered? I may have not known him and disliked the fact that he cheated but nobody deserves to be murdered.” Isabel says. “Yet you murdered more than one person.” “It’s revenge. I don’t believe in killing someone for revenge unlike my brothers. I prefer for them to suffer. Separating Shannon from her daughter and husband was just the first step.” “What makes you any different from Shannon!?” I scream. Thank God Leonard’s not at home right now. He told Isabel and I that he wanted to go do something important. “She killed out of jealousy, those who I’ve killed was never with my own hands-” “Really? Your convincing yourself that those deaths had nothing to do with you?” “They were merely collateral damage.” I start to laugh. “Isabel, are you even hearing yourself?” “Look, I don't have time for this. Why do I even bother?” She starts to move to the living room so I follow her and stand in
Aurelia Elena disconnects the phone before we can respond to her. “You didn’t tell me you had a private jet.” I say. “That’s really what you want us to talk about right now after finding out Isabel’s a dickhead.” “We're honestly so dumb for believing her.” “Her story never added up. I just never thought anything about it because I didn’t think she’d have a hidden agenda. From the moment she said ‘one thing led to another and we blurted things about our lives out’ I should have known she was lying about how she and Shannon started talking.” “I know right. I know my mom, she’s not a lightweight and no matter how drunk she is she wouldn’t just go around telling just anyone that she killed a supposed king.” “Isabel must have met with Shannon and pretended to be her friend after telling her that she's Leonard and Rowan’s sister.” I say. “Can someone explain what’s going on?” Daniel says whilst biting his pizza. “Shut up Daniel.” Both Kane and I say at once. “We’re leaving, tr
Kane picks me up bridal style and asks if I’ve ever gone skinny dipping. “What’s that?” “Basically swimming naked.” “Kane, we can’t do that right now I’m-” “Wet? I know.” “You're gross! This is Elena’s pool! We can’t just-” “Wrong, it’s my parents house remember.” “Since when did you consider her one?” “Well I still don’t consider her one but technically she still is.” I’ve been staring at him this whole time. I didn't even realize that we'd reached the pool till Kane threw me in it. By the time my head comes out of the water Kanes is already right in front of me. He picks my legs up and takes me to the edge of the pool. He leans in to kiss me but suddenly pulls away and stares at me like I had grown a pair of horns or alien eyes. Not minding his shocked stare I kiss him, moaning into his mouth as his lips moves slowly, I love how he lets me take control. My back is now touching the edge of the pool so I wrap my legs around his waist and take his hands and place the
The moment we reach home from the airport, Elena rushes to me and hugs me. I hug her back and we both start to laugh for absolutely no reason. “I guess I wasn’t missed.” Kane says and takes our luggage in. “Oh please it’s not like you even cared about me whilst you were there.” Elena says. I roll my eyes at both of them. “I’m starving, tell me there’s food!” I say. “Kitchen.” I immediately rush there. I find Fried rice in a pot so I quickly dish it out on two plates for both I and Kane. I go back to the living room and see Kane and Elena talking to each other. It would have been normal but they seem so serious and their both sitting diagonally to each other on two different couches. I walk up to Kane and hand him his plate. I noticed they both got quiet when I got here. “Thank you love but I’m not hungry.” I look at him with a straight face and he immediately grabs a spoon and puts it in his mouth. “What are you guys discussing?” I ask whilst sitting next to Kane. “He’s
It’s frustrating how our plane landed at night but I guess it’s good because Shannon happened to tell Elena where she was. “Am I the only one wondering what Shannon could be doing at the colosseum at this time?” Kane says, literally reading my thoughts. “Trust me, you're not the only one.” I say. We finally reach the one and only colosseum and park a bit further away from it. We both get out of the car and walk closer to the building. It’s way bigger in person than the pictures I saw online. “How the hell are we going to find her in this huge place?” I ask whilst walking. “I honestly didn’t even think the colosseum would be open at this time.” Kane says. “I told you my mom has many connections.” I say. Once we reach what I believe to be the entrance we enter inside. There’s not really a door so it’s not hard to go on. I had expected security or something but for some reason we’re alone. Quite literally, no one is here. “This is odd.” Kane says and starts walking in a li
“See, my father and Ryan were business partners back in the day. When u was born I became my fathers favorite child, Ryan saw an opportunity and took it. My father had betrayed him by stealing a large sum of money so in rage Ryan promised to destroy his life. He killed my dads children and wife but decided to take me instead of killing me because he knew I was my dads favorite and my dad would do anything for me.” “Sorry to interrupt but why are you here anyway? Who was the guy you were speaking to when we came?” “All that is unnecessary and anyways we don’t have much time left.” She says. I nod even though my inquisitiveness is still there. “Ryan wanted to make my fathers life a living hell. Once he killed everyone he ever loved he planned on keeping me captive whilst convincing my dad to do horrible things. He made my dad do his dirty work and my dad couldn’t do anything to stop him because each time he’d get threatened with me. The last person alive that my father loved was me
It’s been a few days since I met up with my mom. I reiterated the story to Elena and she was surprised and annoyed that My mom never told her the truth. She called to complain but my mom told her to let the past go. Kane, Elena and I are going to see Leonard at his place. By the time it’s night we will attack Rowan. Today is the day. We reach his house and get out of the car. This is the first time we’re coming back to this house since we came back to Rome. “What did we miss?” Kane says the moment we get inside. “Nice to see you too.” Isabel says. She’s sitting on the dinning table eating an apple. “You.” I say and walk straight up to her. “I wouldn’t do this here if I were you.” She says just as I’m about to mention her betrayals and actions. She points at my left so I look there and see Leonard coming out of a room. I move away from her and sit on a chair. “How are we finally doing this?” Elena asks. “This is how.” Leonard says. He proceeds to bring a board that has a s
The amount of people I’ve shot at this point should be illegal- wait it is. I’m presently checking outside to check whether or not I can proceed to helping Aurelia in case she needs help. There is a mass number of Guards marching towards the palace as we speak. “Oh shit.” I say. “Are you also seeing what I’m seeing?” Leonard asks. He doesn’t know how it feels to not be seeing this amount of guards behind a screen. “What the hell do we do? There’s no way we can beat all these people.” Kane says. “You all need to grab one of the guards that you’ve shot already, steal their clothes and wear them. All the guards are dressed the same and since there are many you can simply blend in.” I don’t respond to Leonard but I do as he says and quickly drag one of the guards I could find on the floor. I pull him to a random room and exchange our clothes because I do not want to leave him naked. I decided to go check out how Elena’s doing. She probably didn’t respond to what any of us said thr
