Vincent

I had gone to see him, only because he asked to see me.

I wondered what it was all about but currently sitting in front of him, the look in his face was that of anything other than pride, the pride he had whenever he saw Rhys, it wasn't the same for me.

“Why did you invite the Hemsworths, you know we don't do business with them” His gruffy voice cut through my thoughts like an ax. I looked up at him, his blue eyes were as sharp and hard as ice shards. “We can't do business with them, not even to help you, you should've known” He said this in a way as if I should have known, I would've been more careful in the future.

“Yes,” I replied, my hands fidgeting in my lap as his eyes never once left mine “I'm sorry, I didn't know” I felt like my head was full of clouds that wouldn't lift until I made amends and apologized.

He stared at me some more, I could feel myself growing hot under those piercing eyes.

Maybe if I could impress him, he would look at me differently.

    RhysIt couldn’t be! He couldn’t die.I had been on my way home when I had received the call that he was at the hospital. It didn’t make any sense. I had seen him the previous night and he looked just fine – his breathing was steady…Regardless I raced down to the hospital, a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I wasn’t sure who I was more worried about: Jude Madigan or myself, the way I raced was even crazier.When I got there and I saw Vincent looking down at me, my heart leapt into my throat, but then I felt foolish for being so nervous, it could only have been that he was asleep or something.“Where is he?” I asked the men in front of me, Vincent and two of grandfather's drivers.“He fell…” Vincent began but I looked past him, that wasn't what I wanted to hear.“But where is he?” My voice was quiet but I knew it must sound hysterical. “I need to see him. Please.” One of the drivers pointed to a room and when I went in, Jude Madigan, my grandfather laid still, unmoving. His

    Darcy Rhys' body shook violently as he clung unto me, sobbing against my chest. “No, no… no…” I could feel him shivering against me and knew that there was only a matter of time before the sobs turned to gasping. He was trying to hold it in, but he couldn't. Not with what had happened.I held him closely as if he would disappear into thin air. My hands shook just like he did. The whole world around us seemed to be spinning out of control because I was afraid I was going to fall over myself. I didn't know what to do. This hadn't been what I thought was going to happen. It was different seeing him like this, a side I didn't know he had and my heart broke for him over again as I let him cry regardless of the pain. I wanted to hug him close to make him feel safe. That I wasn't going anywhere or going away. And I needed him to feel safe. After a while, he just stopped, went silent and finally took deep shuddering breaths. His body was shaking now less than it had been, but still there w

    Rhys“Go back to your room” I told her after she followed me all-day and was currently standing in front of me.She looked like she was about to protest but stopped herself and instead went for another tactic to get what she wanted. “I know you have a lot going on right now, can we at least let me be there for you?” she asked softly. She stood there looking like a kicked puppy and it hurt my heart to see that expression on her beautiful face. “I won’t say a word, you wouldn't notice I am there at all.” She pleaded with her eyes which were wide open and innocent. But I didn't need any of that, not even her presence. I wanted to be alone and the only person who could help me with that was myself. She seemed to read into my mind though because before I could tell her no she said, “Please, you'll hate me forever if I don’t try to help you. Please, just give me this one thing for a change? Please?”God damn it! I thought I was losing my mind already with all these new problems popping

    VincentCory was furious, her body shook with so much anger as she paced back and forth in the waiting room we currently were in. She had just returned from confronting Tessa and I could tell it didn't end well.The nurses had cleaned up my face but I knew it was still in a bad shape and my body ached terribly.“How could you let him do this to you? I married a grown-ass man not a coward Vincent! Fight Rhys back, you can't be his punching bag anymore! You're going to be a damn hero and fight your own battles!” she ranted, running her hands through my hair in frustration.“I fought him back” I added as if it would change anything.“Yet he doesn't look as terrible as you do right now” she commented, looking at me skeptically as if I had been hit by lightning myself. “No offense, but you seem like you got run over by a truck.”I didn't bother to answer her, she had a point.“Look honey, I am just saying that Rhys needs to be dealt with, especially now that Jude Madigan is dead” she said

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Funeral

    Darcy Jude Madigan was buried on a cold Saturday.It rained the next day, a heavy downpour that would have been nice to escape in, but only made it harder for anyone who decided to walk outside to get home safe. That, and all of the umbrellas had broken within a half hour of opening. No one had bothered to replace them because it was not really necessary.Rhys stood far, mostly watching as if he was not a part of the family. He wore dark shades to conceal the eye bags and dark circle under his eyes from lack of sleep. It seemed like it did not do any good; the bags remained even though they were no longer black, and his complexion did not look much better either. They looked like two shadows against the rain. His bruised knuckles were wrapped in a bandage, though he didn’t seem to mind the pain. He just watched.All through it, I watched Rhys. He was broken, badly broken and yet he acted so tough. He would not cry. The grief was too great. If there was something I could do, anyt

    DarcyWhen we got back, Rhys left me and retreated back to his room, leaving me standing in the hallway in my once-drenched dress that was now dry. He didn't go back to Jude Madigan’s estate where the rest of the guests had returned. I knew it was because he could not stand being around the same environment as Vincent and he didn't want to accept the reason why all those people were gathered there.I let him be and retreated to my room where I broke down in tears.I cried untill my body became numb, until there was nothing but aching sorrow inside me that was too painful to feel anything else. I wasn't crying for Jude Madigan, no. I was crying for my son because each time, Cory showed me that she had him to herself and there was nothing I could do, each time she proved that I was a sore loser in their games. I felt like the biggest loser ever in life. Like, how pathetic was it that you couldn't save your own son? That you can’t even protect him from someone who has no a right to have

    Darcy “Kiss me” He begged in a whisper that sounded so silently, his eyes full of yearning. He reached to hold both my shoulders. His eyes locked with mine as I stared into them deeply searching for any hint of hesitation. I didn't find any. My heart beat frantically, my chest constricted. He was so close. So incredibly close.I could feel the heat radiating off of him from beneath his clothes and from his touch against my skin. I could almost feel his soft lips on mine, taste the saltiness of his tears. The desire to close that distance was overwhelming me and it felt so natural. It felt as if it was always meant to be. I wanted it.I closed the little distance left between our lips and I kissed him. My fingers tangled into his thick hair and I pressed myself closer to him. I wanted to savor all of him. Every bit of him. From his warm breath hitting my face and his sweet smelling cologne surrounding me. I needed more. More of his smell.His arms slid around my waist pulling me flush

    DarcyAs soon as I felt him fill me I sucked hungrily onto his cock, taking all of his length, his head, his thickness. I could feel his whole body shake violently at my ministrations. Then it all went still. He released his content in my mouth and I took all of it panting heavily. His hand found mine and intertwined it with his.“Thank you” he whispered. His breath tickled my earI turned my head towards him so our noses were touching.“You are welcome” I whispered back before leaning up and placing a kiss upon his lips.Maybe he could taste himself there after all.He lifted me up from where I still was in front of him and placed me gently down on the edge of the bed. My back rested upon the mattress, he climbed on top of me straddling my lap. His fingers brushed against my cheek lovingly causing warmth to radiate throughout my entire body as he looked deeply into my eyes and smiled."God, you are beautiful," He said with awe evident in his tone of voice.I smiled shyly "I'm glad y

    RhysHer eyes fluttered open and she caught me staring right in her face. It was the worst possible timing, so she closed them immediately. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she felt the weightless feeling of the bed beneath her back once more. I looked away, giving her the room for all she got.“The nightmares are back aren't they?” I asked her quietly.She opened one eye then the other again, peeking over at me. “No,” she whispered.I nodded my head, understanding completely why she would want to keep that secret from me. My own nightmares still plagued me, I wasn't better than her.“You said you needed to get your child away from him”. My voice came out stronger than I meant it to be, but that caught her attention immediately because she sat up, eyes wide in fear. She reached for her drawer and fumbled inside for something before pulling a small vial from within.Her breathing became heavy as she poured some liquid into her hand and squeezed it against her chest as though try

    DarcyI ran through the dark woods with the little bag I had carried, trying to escape. The sounds of pursuit rang in my ears, and I could hear a couple of dogs bark out after me. I didn't know if it was my imagination but I picked up my pace. My heart thumped heavily against my chest and the sound echoed throughout the silent forest. Suddenly the moonlight lit up the leaves on the trees and illuminated everything around me for an instant before they were shrouded by darkness again.I needed to get as far as I could if not he was going to find me. That wasn’t an option at all, and I couldn’t go back. Not now. I wouldn't let that happen to me.“Are you insane Darcy? What are you doing? We need to get back now” she yelled at me from behind. “We have bigger problems than this! This is about safety, you idiot!”“I am leaving without him!” I screamed back to her over the rushing of my blood in my ears. “Didn't you hear what he said?” I stopped to pant. The tears were burning hot, sliding

    DarcyHe stopped and turned to me.I could see doubt and disbelief in his eyes, but I was used to it. He would look at me like that a lot, but now he didn’t have the same intensity. He had always looked at me with such confidence, almost as though he were the one who knew everything all along.“What did you say?” Even his steps toward me were guided by uncertainty. “I don’t understand.” His hands balled into fists, but they only gripped each other once, and then loosened again before he continued walking towards me. The movement reminded me of when we first met, but not for any reason I would ever want to admit. “What did you just say?” He repeated, this time much more assertively. A slight shake of his head that screamed “No, that can’t be right. There has to be something else, I know there is... But what...?” but he didn't say it.My chest tightened. “It was Vincent’s fault,” I said in an attempt to defuse the situation. The words felt strange on my lips. “I overheard him when I w

  • Revenge Of The Scarred Billionairess    Suspense

    Rhys I watched her, she had been acting weird as if she had a mental battle going on with herself since we got back from the hospital. She was so focused on what she was doing that she never even noticed when I looked at her. It wasn’t unusual for her to be like that these days, and sometimes she would have this faraway look in her eye. “Tessa, you need to tell me what is going on. I have had enough of this behavior lately” I said, crossing my arms over my chest and glaring at her. The woman jumped about three feet in the air and dropped the bag of groceries she was holding with both hands. She stared at me wide eyed as if I was a thief that had tried to attack her or something.“We need to put a cctv in Mr Starks room” She blurted out immediately, avoiding eye contact by looking anywhere but me. I blinked at her in disbelief for a second before I realized what she was serious.“You are joking right?” I asked in disbelief, I shook my head trying to wrap my mind around it. Tessa tur

    Darcy “Are you going to say something else?” Rhys was staring right into my soul.“Like what?” I croaked even though I knew what he had been referring to.He looked at me as if he was trying to figure out something. Something... stupid?No…My brain started spinning faster than the spin cycle of a light bulb, and I didn't know how long that could last. I had never been the best at lying to him, even when I'd tried to be clever about it, which, in retrospect, seemed very foolish and naive in retrospect.“Why did you leave and return acting weirdly?” He asked me again. His voice was like steel but there was an undertone of worry underneath.“I don't remember” I lied, looking straight into his eyes without blinking. I didn’t dare look at him. He’ll look through me like he was using a magnifying glass, seeing everything I am, thinking I'm being stupid or insane for even thinking this. And then he'll push me away, might push me away.“You don't remember?” He repeated after me with his usu

    Darcy“Did you find anyone?” It was Vincent’s voice and I remained put.“Not yet”Cory replied.“Let’s leave before that nurse or someone else returns”, he said and she did as told without a word passing between them. I remained hidden for what seemed like forever. My feet itched to walk in the open and my hands itched to run over the surface of the door. However, I did not have the courage to do so. I would rather be safe than sorry. When I finally stepped out of my supposed sanctuary of safety and into the open air I nearly collapsed from exhaustion. I made it back to Rhys who looked at me strangely.“Where have you been? And why do you look like you have seen a ghost?” He asked, and there was an undertone of concern.I couldn't tell him, not now.“Whatever happened between you and the gorgeous blonde?” I blurted out trying to change the subject. What was I thinking? This wasn't the right time but Rhy’s eyebrows rose at that question and I felt a wave of relief rush over me. I ha

    Darcy We stayed far away from them and they did the same. I and Rhys against Vincent and Cora.You could be wondering why but it was as if each party was greatly repulsed by the other. The only thing they both wanted was to get on with their lives. And even so there was an invisible barrier that separated us from each other. That barrier would eventually break one way or another. Vincent and Rhys were always on opposing sides of a battle. The woman whom I later found out as Mrs Stark came over to the hallway of the hospital and she looked tired.She had eye bags so dark that they matched her hair color. She didn’t look too good at all. There were dark circles under her eyes and you could see wrinkles forming around her mouth. But then, she didn’t seem like the kind of person who would show signs of weariness. She was very elegant despite having such a tired face.She smiled kindly at Rhys and I, and she also did the same to Cory and Vincent.“Any update on who could have done that

    Vincent I saw Darcy, she looked more beautiful than I could remember. Her golden skins shone under the moonlight like they were made of crystal. Her golden blonde curls framed her face. A smile was on her soft pink lips as she stood there waiting for whoever.I couldn't believe my eyes, it felt surreal that she had just been there all this while I searched for her everywhere, looking for her everywhere but nowhere in particular. She was just standing there when she had been there for years before, a few months after I lost hope to ever find her. It was almost like déjà vu again, but this time it wasn't so bad. “Darcy?” I called out, I needed to be sure that it was really her, “Darcy?!” This time it came out louder as if it would somehow give me permission to run and hold her in my arms forever.She turned around and smiled at me. I ran to her, I couldn't stop myself now even if I tried, my body just seemed to move on its own. As we embraced, I noticed how warm she felt against me. I

    Vincent“Kill him,” I said into my phone.That bastard had refused to tell us where the will was , or who the next heir was. We didn’t have a clue whether there was any will at all. At least that was what my men said.I didn't see any need for him to be alive , either. It wasn’t like we were going to miss him in the end anyway, right? He was a foolish man. He could have easily decided to take the money I offered him instead of holding on to his integrity , but no. He just had to go and get himself killed. What kind of idiot does that? “Take care of it now,” I told my lead man “we don’t have time for this shit.” And I hung up before moving to Cory’s room.When Cory opened the door and saw me holding flowers, she gave me a skeptical look that was almost as good as one of the many ones I had given her in the past and given myself on my way over here. Almost.“Why are you standing outside my door and why do you have the bouquet of daisies with you?” Cory asked suspiciously. After I messed
