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,
Fancy music blared loudly in the bar background. Several people dressed in different clothing styles to fit their comfort zone and draw just enough attention to themselves.In the furthest bar stool sat Giselle and Evelyn. Giselle trying to drink her head away, while Evelyn was just there for support.After dropping off her luggage in a hotel, the brunette couldn’t stand the fact that all she was doing was sitting still and think more about what she had just found out. It only dampened her heart more, leading to her mood deteriorating rapidly.So instead, she phone Evelyn, the only person she could freely hang around, and without explaining the details in full, the brunette invited her out for drinks, Evelyn, being the honesty beauty she is, couldn’t refuse.So here they were.Giselle downed yet another cup of whiskey and slammed the glass down on the counter, reaching the back of her palm up to wipe her mouth.Evelyn, who sat beside her, stretched out her hand to gently pat her frien
Giselle brought Evelyn into one final hug before letting her go, happily uttering words gratitude as she did so.“Thank you, really.”Evelyn nodded her head and reached up to ruffle Giselle’s hair. She was not pleased by the action and huffed, causing the noirette to chuckle.“What are friends for. Now get in there and fix things with your Fiancé. I’ll call the hotel and have them know that’ll I come get your things first thing in the morning.”Giselle nodded and watched as Evelyn got into her car, waving one last time before driving off the property.Allowing her line of sight linger on the driveway for a few seconds, Giselle sighed as she turned around, facing the lavish mansion in front.“It’s gonna be okay.” She uttered speeches of reassurance as she walked onto the porch, typing in the house code before stepping in and gently closing the door behind her.The clicking sound of the door lock echoed feebly through out the lower ground.Taking a moment more, Giselle paused, glancing
The nexk morning, as soon as Giselle peeled her eyes open, she felt the weight of Ezra’s arms wrapped around her body, holding her in a comfortable hug.Carefully, she turned her head around, just enough to catch a glimpse of the person behind her.A smile danced across her lips as Ezra’s face came into full view and she admired it, surprised as to how he looked much more beautiful that she could ever, while he was sleeping.It was somewhat off-putting.Casting those thoughts aside, Giselle decided it was about time she got out of bed and tried to gently pry Ezra’s arms off her body. This resulted in a dissatisfied grunt coming from the male, and his grip tightened around her body as he pulled her back.“Stay for a bit longer.” He rasped out.His early morning voice was doing wonders to Giselle’s ear, and mind. Her body to was no exception.The hotness of his breath made her shiver in his arms and he hummed in satisfaction.“Just a little more.”“No… no more bed time. Come on, I have
Dumbfounded. Giselle’s brain ran a dull note, shutting down each time it tried to ponder what she had just heard.But the main thing was, which of what she had just heard was she trying to think over? The fact that the woman standing in front of her had just declared herself as Ezra’s best friend, which she had never heard of, or the fact that she coincidentally bore the same name as her high school bully, last but not least, she was a Fisher? Gregory’s so-called sister?And if she was high school Archie Fisher, did she recognize her?The turning wheels in Giselle’s head was visible from the outside, causing the blonde in front to laugh.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Archie teased as she snapped her well manicured finger nails in front of Giselle, the brunette snapping back to reality instantly. “Well, are you going to leave me standing out here?”“I don’t see any problem in that.” Giselle bluntly answered, hating her mouth the next second for not putting its filter on. “What I
“No fucking way.” Archie said as she moved closer, assessing Giselle with each step she took forward, until she was in front of the couple. “How long has it been, six… seven years? Oh boy.”Giselle pressed her lip into a tight line as she stared at the woman in front of her, no bothering to answer any of her silly questions.To the brunette’s greatest surprise, her heart wasn’t pounding as fast as she had thought it would in the event something like this happened. And when she thought about how much that one single thought had stressed her, for lesser than five minutes, the brunette became pissed.“You haven’t changed one bit. Ever still the plain Jane.”Giselle forced a smile on her lips and spoke. “Can say the same for you. Ever so egotistical. God, I thought you’d grow up once done with high school. Guess I was wrong.” She spat.Archie fixed her heart penetrating gaze on the brunette, a smile slowly and wickedly creeping up her lips.“Oh, I was wrong. I can see you grew some balls…
“I advise you to end your relationship with Ezra, because once she wants something, she doesn’t stop until she’s had it, and she’ll do anything to get what she wants. I know her best, trust my word.”Gregory’s tone was firm, leaving no room for any hint of a joke. Giselle searched his eyes, finding his blue ones as clear as any ocean could be.“So what? You’re saying your sister is some kind of psychopath?” Giselle said and scoffed, but somehow, deep down, she pushed the thought of that being an actual possibility away.“No, but close.”The brunette narrowed her eyes, watching as Gregory picked up his own drink and drank from it on arrival.“Well I have met her, and can say she’s certainly one hell of a bitch, but I’ve dealt with several of her kind.”“No you haven’t. You don’t know Archie, Giselle…”“You’re wrong.” She sharply interjected. “I know it might come as a surprise to you, but Archie and I went to the same high school. Three years in the same class room, she pulling the sam
In the seconds that Giselle saw those pictures, it took everything in her not to drop her phone and sprint to her dad’s house by foot.She tried reaching the number again, surprised when her call went to voicemail, seeing as it was her father who had just called her a few seconds prior to she receiving those photos.“Shit… shit… oh God.” The brunette slowly began to panic as she walked in circles, trying to every avail to reach her father, and when her luck ran out, she phoned Ezra and told him what was happening, succeeding in keeping her tear glands in check the whole time she narrated the rather short ordeal.“Stay there and wait for me.” Ezra instructed, the sound of car doors jamming in the background.Giselle shook her head even though he couldn’t see her. “I… I can’t do that.”“Yes, yes you can, and you’re going to do exactly that. Do you hear me Giselle?”“I can’t! What if something happens to him in that short time span, what if…” the brunette cut herself off, not wanting to
