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
“Where the hell are we driving to?” Isabel says. “Well obviously you guys can’t come home. They have people chasing after every single vehicle that left the palace. The king is dead, it's literally everyone on the news globally. All presidents are even talking about it. This is a big deal, I’ll soon start getting looked for since the whole nation is going into chaos. Their king is dead.” Leonard says through the earpiece. The further we get the more it’s starting to disconnect though so I’m not hearing him that well. We’ve just been driving for the past hour, our fuel will soon run out and we’ll need to stop. Aurelia’s still unconscious. I wonder what they did go her to be out this long. “It’s not like they ever liked the king so why are they being so dramatic about it.” I say. “People like stability, even if the one in control of it is awful.” Elena says. I pull out my phone and turn on the news and there we are running away with Aurelia from the palace. “If you find any of
My eyes open out of the blue. I immediately sit up and look at my surroundings. I’m in a random house. I look beside me and I see a man lying next to me. I’m about to scream but something in me tells me to keep quiet. I follow it because how did I end up in a random man’s house in the first place? I won’t lie though, he’s attractive. I look beside me and see an alarm. It’s 3:00AM. Why am I awake then? I slowly slip out of the blanket and start to move toward the door before I reach. I decide to put the pillows that I was laying on under the blankets so that it’ll make it look like I’m still beside him. I have a strong headache yet I’m physically walking straight. I slowly open the door and look back to see if the handsome man on the bed woke up, he’s still asleep so I open the door even more and gently close it. I start to walk downstairs. This house is very creepy, everywhere on the second floor is wooden and has dead animals hanged as decoration. I reach the last floor and
The heat of his calloused hands trail across my bare arms. His touch is feather light, yet the simple action kick-starts as cascade of fire works, each individual explosion erupting underneath my skin. My breath hitches, I fist the soft bedding underneath me, my back arching as a rough thumb grazes my hardened nipple.A moan slips out of me, so soft, barely audible.His breath is hot, so close to the surface of my skin, his teeth digging just the slightest inch into the soft flesh. It makes me quiver.“Do you want more of me?”Yes!“Do you want me to keep touching you Aurelia? Do you like the feel of my hands on your body?”I do! I wish he would never stop.“Spread your legs for me.”I obey the command without a lick of hesitation, parting my thighs for him. His palm moves over my stomach, inching closer to the place I crave him the most, the seconds ticking by too slowly with every second he doesn’t touch me there. I want to scream, and shout. I want to cry out his name.“Shhh,”
I stammer, my heart thumping wildly in my chest.Rune is here. He’s back, here, in this house, standing less than a foot away from me. On either side of him are two blonde haired young women.Rune grabs my shoulders before I can react, spinning me and walking us back into the dining area.I haven’t even had time to fix the shell shocked expression on my face.Dad and Emaine have completely opposite reactions the moment he walks in.“Runey!” Emaine’s voice carries a cheerful note, thrilled to have her son back home.Rune lets go of me, pulling out a chair at the long table. He shoves me into the seat, before moving across the room and pressing a brief kiss to his mothers cheek. It softens the bitter expression she was sporting the second I sat on the table.“You’re back.” Dad states, “Why didn’t you inform us you were coming.”“Well,” He rounds the table, his eyes locked on his brothers face. It’s like they’re having a silent conversation. Kane’s eyes track his movements, following hi
