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
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
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
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
"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
