Katerina
I operated this past week on auto-pilot mode. I woke up, got ready for the day, went to work, dealt with problems all day, went home, and then slept.
For the first time in my entire life, work didn't have a therapeutic effect on me. At the end of a long day, I didn't feel like I accomplished something. I didn't feel good about myself. In fact, I felt glad to be done with work for the day because it meant that the day was almost over. And I was one day closer to Alyanna coming back home.
I had talked to her a few times over the phone during the last week but something felt off. Her mind was occupied elsewhere. And no, it wasn't work. That, I was sure of. Jayden and I had known immediately that she was lying when she said that work was the reason she couldn't come home with us right away. She wasn't that good of a liar and we knew

That was the best dinner we have had in a really long time!" the elderly couple raved on with wide smiles on their faces. "Bless your hands.""Thank you so much!" I said once again. "I will send out a few tarts - on the house, of course. I'm sure you will love them as well." Their faces lit up. "Now please excuse me, I must get back to the kitchen.""Of course." They smiled and nodded."Enjoy the rest of your evening." I gave them a smile.My restaurant manager was waiting in the kitchen with a wide grin on his face. "That was the seventh table to compliment your cooking tonight.""Just doing my job," I told him as I took off my apron and toque."Looks like you miss working at the restaurant," he started and I knew what he was hinting at."What make

It matched the cold, empty feeling in my heart.I placed the joint in between my lips and lit it before I took a long drag, and looked up at the moon. It looked achingly beautiful and all alone in this starless night sky.I took in another long drag.

He couldn't stop smiling as he stood up and walked somewhere, carrying his laptop, and by extension me, with him."Is it Usain Bolt?" I joked."Unfortunately, no, not this time." He chuckled and then set the laptop down somewhere and then backed up a bit.It looked like he was now in the living room."Come 'ere buddy." Jay patted his thigh a couple of times and a moment later, Storm came into view."Oh my God, it's Stormy! He's back!" I pressed a hand against my heart. He was all grown up now and still had all of his cuteness.Storm's head tilted to the side in confusion before he let out a low whine.Jayden looked surprised before his features softened. "I thi

'Murderer,' a high-pitched voice whispered. 'Murderer.' Oh no. Please no. 'Heartless murderer.' I covered my ears. I didn't want to hear it. 'I deserved better than you.' I heard a familiar voice shriek. The voice was loud. Too fucking loud. There was no source in sight but I didn't need to see her to know who she was. I could recognize that voice anywhere. 'Cold, heartless murderer,' the high-pitched voice kept murmuring in the background. 'I was supposed to be the Queen,' she sneered. 'I was supposed to rule the world.' I ran. I nee

October 2026, Scars Bay, USA Katerina I laughed. "How are you doing?" I shouldn't be laughing. I really shouldn't. Not after he was there for me in a way no one had been in a long time. Maybe he was right. I did judge him too quickly. Not only did he comfort me when I was upset, but he also went out of his way to improve my mood. He suggested we go for a ride. When I asked him to take his pick, he asked for Thunder, Alya's stallion. Apparently, he had heard a lot about the horse from Alya and knew that only she and the stablemaster could control him. Alya had told him that he wouldn't be able to do it. Dimitri was determined to prove her wrong. And watching him trying to make it happen was hilarious. He had been trying to get close to a saddled Thunder for the past fifteen minutes without getting his head kicked off. I even went and changed into my riding gear but as e

October 2026,Scars Bay, USAKaterinaI traced a finger along the edge of the glass, looking at the rich, decadent amber-colored liquid that could be the answer to all my problems.I knew I was teetering on a dangerous line. One step over and I'd be done for.The tips of my fingers twitched. I had a fire in me. And I wanted that fire to consume me. I wanted it to burn me so that I could forget the hurt today brought me.There was a certain kind of relief in giving in to destruction.I lifted the glass with a trembling hand and watched the whiskey swoosh around. Lifting it to my lips, I closed my eyes and let go of all my thoughts and worries.But before the alcohol even touched my lips, the glass was ripped out of my hands."What are you doing here?"I looked at the owner of the voice.

I was wearing my favorite white blazer dress that I had paired with blood-red Louboutins. My makeup was dramatic and dark and my lip was colored a bold red. I had my armor on and I was ready to draw blood."I've realized that knights in shining armor don't exist in the real world," I said pointedly, referring to our very first conversation. "If you want something, you need to go get it yourself."A slight frown touched his forehead. "And what is it that you want?""Nothing you can afford," I told him as I crossed the living room, heading for the door.Dimitri grabbed my wrist.

The bright screen of the phone made me squint and I had difficulty reading the name on the screen. It took a moment for me to catch the name.Samuelson.I instantly picked up."Open your apartment door. I'm on my way up," he said without greeting.It took another moment for me to register what he was saying. When I did, my eyes snapped open. This was odd. What the hell was he doing here in the middle of the night? A cold shiver trickled down my spine. Something was off. It didn't feel right. Something had to be very wrong for him to be here without any prior notice, especially in the middle of the night."Is everything okay?" I sat up, slid m

That stung more than I thought it would. Anything would have been better than being ignored. Her silence was deafening.We rode up the elevator and she marched straight towards her apartment. I stood there, watching her punch in the code to her apartment, unsure if she wanted me to follow her or let her be for a while.She entered and then slammed the door shut after her.My heart stopped. I really thought she would keep the door open and gesture for me to come in after her or ask me to join her. It was something we did with the bathroom door when we wanted to take a sh

Dimitri had made a show of displaying his supernatural speed and strength in there. Katerina was in shock.I didn't know what to say to make it better so I remained silent.After what felt like forever, Dimitri walked out with...Caleb? They were followed by over a dozen men - some fine, some injured but all holding on to guns.What the hell happened in there? What was Caleb doing here? Did that man end up calling him after all? Was it truly a misunderstanding?Kate stiffened when she spotted them but made no indication of what she was thinking otherwise. Dimitri grew visibly disappointed when he saw her lack of reaction.Caleb, unaware that I was alive, looked at me in bewilder

But you couldn't follow a simple safety protocol because you care more about beingniceand letting Katerina do whatever thefuck she wants," Andrei growled. “Might as well lick the dirt off the bottom of her fucking shoes while you let her walk all over you.”My grip on the steering wheel tightened and I pressed my lips together to stop myself from saying anything.He was right. This was my fault after all.I agreed to let Katerina and Alya leave the safe house. I went with them to the manor. It was my job to protect them. I never should have left them alone. It was stupidity on my part to think that they would stay there because they had no motive to go. But they did have a moti

She was definitely dumb enough to do it with the right motivation.If she left, there was only one route she'd use to leave. So, I ran.Why the hell would she leave? Did something happen? Was she upset?Of course, she was. With the night she'd had and after I broke my promise of cheering her up, I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to leave.

November 2026,Scars Bay, USAAlyannaIt was still a couple of hours before sunrise so none of the house staff were out and about. Quickly and quietly, I navigated my way out of Kate's bedroom and to woods from around the gardens.I knew my way around the property very well, courtesy of Kate. Sometimes, she managed to drag me to parties with her that we had no business going to. To hide from Kon and her dad, she figured out a way to sneak out of her bedroom and pass through the grounds withoutbeing noticed or getting caught on camera. She also managed to create a way over the mostly impenetrable property walls. Kate was an unstoppable force when she put her mind to something.The route I was taking was the same. I, too, would pass through unnoticed if things had remained the same in the last five years. And I hoped I did. Because, I couldnot afford t

"Gotcha, Squirt.""Helliam!" I admonished, but I couldn't stop my lips from lifting up in a smile.This wasn't the first time this had happened. When we were kids and Kate and I had sleepovers, Will would sometimes crash them - much to our annoyance - and we'd spend the entire night talking and hanging out or doing sometime crazy. When we grew up a little, Kate and I would catch Will sneaking into the house in the middle of the night, drunk, and looking back on it, probably high on drugs. We'd take care of him and put him to bed or if he wasn't in the mood to sleep, we'd stay with him and give him company. When we beca

Heartache formed a ball in my throat, choking me up.How could I have not thought of it? How could I have been so callous? How could I have been so self-centered in my misery that I failed to see how it would have affected the one person I cared about the most?I had hurt Jay more than I could have even imagined. I had hurt the one person I love with all my heart. The one person I never wanted to hurt. The one person I stayed away from by telling my broken and bruised heart that while he might be hurt, he was at least safe. Alive. But it seemed like he hadn't done much of living. Just like me.

November 2026, Scars Bay, USA Katerina Alya was sitting on the floor of her bedroom, her back against the bed and a drink in her hand. With her other hand, she played with a ring hanging off the necklace she was wearing. She looked up and her teary, red-rimmed eyes met mine. Oh no. I walked over to her, wanting to take a seat beside her but my dress wouldn't allow that. So with a bit of difficulty, I took it off. Only in a pair of panties and a bra, I lowered myself beside her. She looked over at me, her gaze lingering on my face, neck, and then chest before she looked away entirely. What was that about? "You should wear some clothes. It's winter," she whispered. "It's warm in here. I'm fine; you don't need to worry about me." I took the glass from her hand and placed it aside. "I was d
