PRESENT
The detective glared sharply at him, the process of detaining him to the station was extremely difficult, since he was a high class celebrity. Leaning in, the detective raised his eyebrows, ready to fire his questions.
PRESENT “According to a witness, you were one of the last people to have been spotted with miss Steel.” The detective said, his voice hoarse and his eyes tired.“Yes I was,” France replied plainly,”I’m sure the witness added that he saw me leave that night.”The detective glared at him, as though he was reading his mind. The man in front of him appeared drowsy, he had pending questions for him.“I carried out some investigations on you,” the detective affirmed and France’s eyes widened in bewilderment. The detective arched his eyebrows,” isn’t it interesting how a man as well off as you are ended up becoming Raven’s chauffeur. A coincidence maybe?”The detective stood from his chair, moving close to him—with a grin plastered on his face,”the most interesting part is that...you own the chauffeuring firm...”PASTCarter.His name hadn’t crossed her mind in a while, she was jogging along the street with her hair packed up in a pony tail. It was ten o’clock in the morning, the whole land
Day fifteenIt was her fifteenth day in the past. How she’d known? She wasn’t exactly good at keeping up with dates and time. There was a number eleven inscribed on her palm, it wasn’t an obvious place—only an observant person would notice. The number changed daily, reminding Raven of the limited time she had.“Roberto Sánchez is the hottest man alive!” Tessa exclaimed in a Spanish accent. Snapping out of her thoughts, Raven crossed her long legs. The girls were currently watching a movie in perfect rapture, Roselyn was also with them, but she was unusually quiet.“But he’s aging—compared to when he acted as Jack in Forever 20,” Louis remarked.“Back then...I thought he was gonna be 20 forever,” Tessa said and they all laugh in unison, resting her head on her palm, she went on. “I wish wonderland actually exists.”Fascinated, Raven chortled. She recalled the first time she met Roberto—of course she had met him, it was on the red carpet, he even tried to get it on with her a few times.
“If my sisters ever ask. We accidentally ran into Roberto Sánchez in college, and he flirted with me.Eleanor raised her eyebrows, “why the big lie?” She chuckled.“It’s not exactly a lie, I did meet him. Just without you there.” “Maybe I can believe the part about flirting with you. Why wouldn’t he? Just look at you.” Eleanor’s gaze still fixed on her. “But meeting him in person! In the flesh! And you didn’t say a word about it!”Rolling her eyes, Raven gave a small smile. It was the same way fans were crazy about her, she never understood the worship. Celebrities were just normal people with more privilege and screen time. “I guess it slipped my mind,” she said casually. Eleanor clasped a hand over her mouth. Baffled, placing her hand hand, she uttered her next words. “But Raven he’s—““Pretend I never mentioned him.” She revoked, hoping her words came out right. Taking a quick pause, she continued. “Thanks for being here.”Eleanor opened her mouth, as though she was about to say
PRESENTThe cop kept his gaze fixed on them. Eavesdropping on the conversation between his colleague and the woman in front of him, he was a few steps away from them. The woman hadn’t stopped crying ever since she got to the station.
Fame was a double edged sword, it opened a lot of doors for Raven.It all felt like a movie—unreal. She remained on the same spot, right with her whirling mind. Unable to move.“Are you okay?” Words making her shiver in an instant, her gaze met with its h
When she opened her eyes, something was different.Jumping up to look outside, Raven groaned. It wasn't raining yet, though the clouds were dense and opaque.Veronica was in custody once again, locked up in prison. Jace has told her the case was going to be difficult, the judge she had paid off to set a bail was suddenly dismissed. Something wasn’t right somewhere, even after confessing to the crime, Veronica still had the right to a fair trial. It was going to happen really soon, and Raven needed to act fast—before the trial proceeds.
PRESENTThe detective stared sternly at him. It was drawing close to the twentieth day since the model was proclaimed missing, his sleepless nights were evident by his dark circles, his face was hard and drawn out, turning his head towards the man in front of him. He opened his mouth, filling the air with his breath, and mild muttering.
The sky above was full of tumultuous, dark and ragged clouds. Ominous black clouds covered the sky, and released a sudden shower. Thunder rolling in from the west. The morning was cold and wet, with a brisk wind sweeping the rain across the land. On a normal day, the howling wind frightened Raven, but she was too focused, trying to hold back the avalanche of tears that had been building up since the moment she had been angered, her heart was heavy. The weather explained her mood—anger, disappointment and despair. Angry because she was so close to finding out the truth from the old man, disappointed that she didn’t know what to do next, and lastly, all hope was lost. It’s been two days since the incident happened, and Raven barely left her room after finding out what exactly happened to the old man.“YOU STILL HAVE TIME RAVEN.” The soothing voice lingered in her head. It had been a while since she heard from the voice, but she was glad she could talk to someone.“Last time we spoke, yo
__Raven’s pov__I almost fell from shock. My head swam and my ears buzzed as those words rhyme back and forth inside my head. I couldn't believe my ears, he loves me, Zayn loves me.Was I so stupid realize it? I stood still, trying to process what had happened.
_Raven’s pov_Once again, I was back to reality.I still haven’t told anyone about my trance, it was strange. Simply something I can’t seem to place my finger on.
''Raven!” An annoying voice awakened me from my slumber.Yawning, I opened my eyes slowly. Flinching after realizing my head was on Zayn's shoulder, we were holding hands and my body was covered with a blanket.I was extremely embarrassed, I quickly released my hand from Zayn's. Checking his shirt to verify I didn't droll on him.
*Raven’s pov*The strange feeling happened again, a flash of the other dimension.It was getting more frequent. Shoving the thought out of my head, I stared blankly at Zayn.
............. Zayn's pov...............It wasn’t difficult getting Mr.Snape to help arrange sitting next to Raven.But it worked perfectly.
*Raven’s pov*''I love you Raven. I lied to you, I've always loved you,” Zayn moved close to me.''Why did you lie to me then?” Tears trickled down m
Pain is inevitable..................Raven’s pov................Pain
_Zayn's pov_She loves me was all I could say to my self.Raven Steel loves me, but I messed up, I lied to her. I was mad at myself but there was nothing I could do.
I couldn't believe Zayn Anderson was standing right in front of me.Why was he here? Obviously to see me, but I couldn't believe he cared.I was totally numb, my throbbing heart seemed to be the only thing I could hear at that moment.''Yeah, Zayn saw the way you reacted in the Cafeteria yesterday, so he asked me what was going
