Voices. Familiar once at that.

Giselle could hear them and knew who they’d belonged to even without opening her eye.

She felt her body being lifted from its place on the floor. Warmth engulfed her, a feeling contrary to the temperature dropping damp room.

Feeling a familiar warmth and body embrace, the brunette relaxed, relief finally washing over her entire being and her mind being put at easy.

She slightly stirred in the embrace, pushing her body as close as she could, wanting to feel more of his heat and presence.

At that, the grip around her tightened in a reassuring manner.

It was far more reassuring than she had expected. The amount of care and compassion she was getting from a single hug alone, melted the remaining walls of her heart, giving way for the feeling she had tired to surprise.

Just before falling back into her slumber, a small smile spread across her lips as she thought. ‘Ezra came.’

Indeed he did.

    Slowly stirring, Giselle woke up to the sound of distant beeping of hospital machines.It was probably sometime close to midnight when she opened her eyes.Voices of hospital nurses and patients filed her ears. The smell of disinfectant and hospital wash hung around her like a thick cloud, making the brunette scrunch up her nose as she attempt to sit up, only to stop half way as she felt a banging headache.Deciding not to fight against the headache and stay down, Giselle scanned the room with her eyes.It looked to be a private ward. The top class ones.An in built bathroom, a small table in the corner, a rather comfortable mattress, which she was currently lying on, and a fifty five inch television hanging opposite her bed.It was like the deluxe version of a hospital room, one that Giselle had never gotten the luxury to enjoy, up until now.The sound of the room door opening caught her attention. Turning her head towards the direction, Giselle watched with a slightly stunned expres

    Giselle sat still with her green eyes trained on Ezra’s hazel ones. For the briefest of seconds her brain went numb, almost as if it was incapable of giving a suitable response to Ezra’s request.Seconds had pasted before Giselle broke away from her statue like figure, blinking furiously as her mouth slowly opened as if she wanted to say something, then she closed it back, then repeated the same action a few more times.During this short period of silence, Ezra felt his heart stuck in his throat. Several negative thoughts roamed his mind.‘What if she says no?’ Was one of those thoughts. ‘What if she insists to leave this as purely a contractual relationship? Does she feel the same way I do?’Ezra’s fist subconsciously gripped the bedsheet, bringing wrinkles to the fine floral bed spread.‘Please, say something.’ Ezra thought, already feeling the silence tear at his heart.Was this going to have a bad outcome?Giselle’s eyes averted from his, scanning everywhere in the room.It’s not

    ~Two weeks ago~Giselle sat at the outer bank of a beach that had been rented out for a whole day. It was only her and a few other permitted people that were present on the luxury high class beach.At first, on receiving such an invitation from her mother-in-law, the blonde had wondered how it would be possible to rent out a whole beach and even have means of blocking the news from reach the ears of the media, as not to spoil their little fun outing, but she soon came to know that Jasmine Heinrich, is a Heinrich.Money and power can basically do anything.Giselle watched as the current propelled water, gushed onto the banks, close to her feet and once again claimed her miniature drawing, for the third time today.The girl huffed out in annoyance and tossed her broken branch into her sand before causing the sea with every ounce of insult she knew in her vocabulary.She heard a snort from behind and whipped her head in the direction. Glaring angry daggers at the only person she saw, who

    Giselle and Ezra stood at the foot of their mansion as they waved the adults goodbye.Luckily for them, no other questioned were asked after the whole situation was explained. Although, Ezra did get a little discredit, since the security he had put on Giselle had failed to do their jobs.Which actually baffled him.But then again, he didn’t have much time to dwell on such a thought, the more prominent matter at hand, was how someone had gotten their hands on the contract.Ezra clearly remembered locking it in a safe in his study. A safe to which only he knew the code.Watching the last of their parent’s car drive off, Ezra sighed and ran a hand through his oily hair.“What a night.” He mumbled out as Giselle placed her hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.“Yeah. But I’m glad it yielded a good result.” She smiled and turned around, headed for her room when she suddenly felt her body being lifted off the ground.A surprised yelp left her mouth, and on instinct, she wrapped

    Occurrences like those happened less frequently but Giselle still found herself having to take care of trash every other time of the week.Well except for today. Today, the brunette had come home early, as Ezra had some board meetings to attend, and out of habit, she once again dismissed the cook and decided to make dinner herself.This time around, as she searched through the pantry for what to make, she noticed that it was much more stocked than before, which was to her favor.Smiling to herself, Giselle brought out several ingredients needed for a perfect croissant. She wasn’t only gifted in cooking, baking was one of her several gifted areas.Humming the soft tone of ‘Film out’ by BTS under her breath, the brunette began her baking process by tying on her apron, making sure that if things got messy, as per her previous experience, she’d have something on her body to take one third of the hit.“Okay, let’s begin.” She mused after her hair had been fixed into a messy updo bun.The p

    By the end of their hot shower, Ezra was feeling better than before.With a little more consoling, which Giselle still wasn’t aware what about, delicious takeouts and a few hours of binge watching series while cuddled up on the couch, Ezra had just about forgotten the reason why his mood had suddenly deteriorated.By the time the sixth episode of their series had come to an end, Giselle was long asleep on his chest, the rest of her body folded into a comfortable position that allowed her enjoy the sleep.Noticing this, Ezra decided that six episodes was enough for him and he reached for the remote, turning the tv off before directing his attention towards the woman who was sound asleep on his chest.Watching her sleep for a while had become a habit of Ezra ever since they began sharing a room. He just couldn’t get enough of staring at her face, be it in the day, or during the night.Getting up halfway, Ezra scooped Giselle into his arms and began ascending the stairs towards their bed

    If any other word could best describe the feeling of betrayal, then apparently Giselle knew no such words.The brunette spent the next hour or so feeling utterly devastated and trying to get a handle on her thought. She quickly learned that sitting on the cold floor, staring at nothing but the ground, and occasionally wiping tears, didn’t help her in that aspect.By the time she had calmed down, in a less teary state and clear headed, the sound of the main gate opening resounded just outside, and without pondering over her recent decision, the brunette got up and headed for her own side of the closet, grabbing one of Ezra’s black duffle bag as she headed that way.Briefly, she filled the bag with a little amount of dress and daily items that would last her for at least three days, and then she zipped it up, grabbed her phone, then raced for the room door.Staying here right now didn’t seem like something reasonable on her end. She wanted to fully calm down, have a clear and stable min

    Ezra woke up from his sleep after what felt like hours. The light seepping in from a gap in his curtain indicated that he had only gotten some shut eye for three hours at max.Laying still, the brunette listened to the quietness of his room before turning to his side to stare at the empty spot.Knowing that Giselle was no longer in the room with him made the temperature drop dramatically, making the room feel icy cold, even if it wasn’t.It had only been roughly four hours since Giselle left the mansion, leaving his room doused in her velvet scent.And Ezra gladly remained behind in the room, dwelling comfortably in where was now his room alone.For the time being, he had hoped several time, right before reluctantly giving in to sleep.Sighing, Ezra ran his finger through his hair, closing his eyes in the process to reminisce on his decisions so far.A knock on his door sniped that memory lane short. Peeling his eyes open, he rolled them before answering.“What is it?”“Young master,

A rather simple one if you asked anyone. And what was it? She had to make sure the bride was dressed, ready, and okay to walk down the isle with her father beside her by the time the hour and minute hand struck eleven."Babe?"

    Jogging towards the room Giselle and her father were being held captive in, Ezra could almost feel everything ending. He couldn't already envision his and Giselle's peaceful life after everything was over, and as he turned the finally corner, seeing the room just up head, the brunette stock up a mental note, reminding himself to bring up the topic of adopting Grendel and Jason in the later future. Those two were happy fur balls, who'd be able to take their eyes off them after a single visit.Finally reaching the room, Ezra banged his fist against it and called out. "Giselle? Mr. Cornwell?" His call was answered by two voices from the inside, calming his beating heart as they were the two voices he had anticipated to hear.Stepping back, Ezra kicked the door twice, the metal gate coming down at his third and final kick.Giselle felt like the heavens had sent her very own guardian angel as Ezra walked in, the door laying beneath his feet as he marched in, not wasting a second as he sped

    The ground felt cold and hard as Giselle helplessly sat on it. Maybe it was the after effect of Gregory's betrayal that made the concrete below seem more chilly than usual, or it could just be the fact that winter was right around the corner. The brunette didn't know, and she didn't want to know.Bringing her knees up, she buried her face in between them, feeling helpless as usual.The brunette's moment of sulking was cut short when movement from the other end and the sound of muffled breathing caught her attention."Who's there?" She asked, squinting her eyes in the dark room and slightly back up towards the door. Her question was answered by another series of muffled noise, propelling the petit woman to stand up from the floor and slowly advance forward, away from her current position.When Giselle had reached a certain distance, closer to the person which she now realized was tied to a chair and gagged at the mouth, her eyes widened, instantly recognizing the person there."Dad!"

    "Game over Ezra." Archie crackled like a hyena, souring the mood of Ezra, Giselle and Evelyn.Giselle's eyes fluttered in disbelieve, feeling her insides turn as she stared at Gregory, who in return stared back without any form of remorse.'Freaking Traitor.' Giselle thought, only having the courage to pull her gaze off the noirette after several minutes of staring.Gregory was right; never trust anyone until you know what they harbor in their heart. But if only she had applied that method sooner... way sooner than Ethan and Raquel, maybe then, she wouldn't have moved with the worse set of people."Fucking traitors." The brunette spat in a low rumble, gaining the attention of the villainess herself."What was that?" The blonde asked as she stepped forward, leaning in with her ear in a taunting manner.Giselle could have swore there was a voice in her head telling her to leap forward and chew off the spinster's ear."You all are bunch of fucking traitors. Disgusting." She voiced her in

    Evelyn hid in a corner as she sent the address to Gregory's number. She was silently regretting not turning off the flash of her camera, as that was what had put her in the situation which she currently was in. It had all happened so fast, all she wanted to do was take a simple picture as evidence, exposing all or one third of Archie's evil plans and misdeed to the authorities, as per the first half of their plans, but then that was when it happened, the moment she took the photo containing their evidence, her flash went off, alerting Archie and her thugs.The noirette didn't waste a second there and took off, hearing the witch herself bark orders, probably to catch her and bring her back, she didn't want to find out.So now, here she was, running and hiding, praying that Gregory would get to her location on time before she became dog food."This is gonna cost more than a bowl of noodles Giselle." The noirette silently whispered to herself as she peaked out from her hiding spot, a ser

    "Don't play dumb with me Gregory. Ezra wakes up one morning then suddenly decides to make a run for it? Fine, let me rephrase my question." Giselle stepped in close, raising her head to meet Gregory's gaze. "You know where your sister is holding my father, don't you?"Gregory blinked his eyes, secretly surprised at how quick the brunette had caught up to things.'Was she always this quick.' He questioned himself."Gregory, you know something that I don't, where are they?" Giselle questioned the more, stepping in closer, the questioned male standing his ground and holding her gaze, his blue orbs boring into hers as her green ones searched his."What makes you so confident?" He suddenly questioned, causing Giselle to furrow her brows. "My sister committed a crime for the sake of love, as her relative, shouldn't you fear me?"The brunette tilted her head, lost to as why he was now uttering nonsense."What? No. You're not the type to do such." She uttered, hoping to push down the rising a

    The sound of quiet and tired snoring filed the rather silent room. Light dimed to perfection and A.C chilling, Ezra silently watched his fiancée sleep, carefully playing with her hair as not to wake her up.If words could describe the emotions running around in his heart, Ezra would have found it easy to put them into words.With a sigh, the brunette slid under the duvet, embracing the body of his fiancée and earning a hum from her as he buried his face into the crock of her neck."Ezra?" Giselle called out groggily, still overcome by sleep. "You're still up?"Ezra hummed into her neck in disagreement. "It's just..." the brunette paused on his words, rethinking his choice of words before continuing. "...nothing."Giselle hummed in understanding, too tired to form actual words.When Ezra saw that she was falling back asleep, he cradled her more in his arms, pulling her closer and seeking her body's warmth as he spoke. "Don't worry, it'd all be over by tomorrow."Giselle heard those wor

    The sound of phone ringing disturbed Evelyn from her peaceful evening sleep. The noirette stirred in the bed, reluctant to answer the phone, seeing as today was one of her rare days off. After the phone rang for an extra few minutes, she groaned and turned around, feeling around the bed for the noise making device."Hello?" She asked after picking up the phone, making no effort to check the caller's ID."Hey, Evelyn, it's me."Her eyes snapped open, brown orbs enlarging as she pulled back and glanced at the caller, series of slurred curses left her mouth as she pushed her body up, resting her back against the bedrest of her bed. "What do you want, Fisher? Never thought you'll go fishing for my number, am I really that stunning."Gregory wasn't sure what made him chuckle, the fact that she'd believe he actually searched for her number, or the fact that she choose to stick with his surname even after he had insisted that she call him on a casual basis.Hearing him chuckle from the other

    Giselle spent the next hour or so listening to people question her. At some point in time things started to look like the poor girl was being interrogated. Weren't they meant to be doing other jobs instead of questioning her?"That's enough." She mumbled under her breath, gaze solely trained on the back of her Fiancée as he too seemed to be undergoing the same procedure as her, and from his reactions, she didn't think it was going well."Pardon?" The female officer asked as she took a step forward, halting what she had been writing into her jolt pad.Tearing her gaze away, Giselle coldly answered. "I said that's enough.""But Ms. Heinrich...""She said that's enough." Ezra interrupted the officer as he walked over, finally done with his own part of the questioning, and might i tell you, it didn't go pleasantly.The officer cowered under Ezra's gaze, but nonetheless, she dared to speak. "Mr. Heinrich, forgive me but this is the normal procedures. It has to be carried out accordingly as
