“Please, Walter. I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.” It was hard to draw in air to my lungs, my mere existence becoming painful to bear.

“Save your apologies for the funeral”, Walter coldly said, making my heart lurch up to my throat, almost stopping altogether.

And before I knew it, he was out the door, closing it shut behind him before I could even react to his words. I made a dash for the door with the remaining energy left in me.

“You’re lying, Walter. I know you’re lying. You have to be lying”, I banged my hands on the door, making them into fists and I kept banging until they turned from red to purple, hoping that he would hear me out and come back and tell me that what he said was a lie. That it was an utter lie. Derek was still alive.

“He’s alive, he’s alive, he’s alive”, I kept chanting it in my head, my voice being reduced from ear-shattering screams to nothing more than a ghostly whisper. My throat ached as I slid down the cold door, sitting huddled against it on the floor. The si

    “My apologies, Sire. I spoke out of line”, the waiter spoke, eyeing him, following his action as his young boss absentmindedly poked at the free end of the bandage on his right arm where the doctor had injected the antidote.He heaved out a heavy sigh,” I don’t want to do this, Walter. But I don’t see another way out. You know how severe the punishment for carrying out a hit on a future mafia overlord can be. Death would be the easy way out for her, according to the rest of the people. We both know that. She will be tortured endlessly, beaten and God knows what my father will have his men do to her if I don’t handle this my way. Unthinkable things, Walter, unthinkable. And you know just how ruthless he can be.” “Your actions show the opposite, sire”, Walter quietly rebutted, not wanting to get his boss cross with him but also wanting to drive his point home. “I saw her, Derek”, his voice went weak, catching the heir’s attention. “She broke. She fucking broke when I told her you were

    “Besides everything, that was an extremely well put-up performance in there, wasn’t it? You sounded quite convincing, Walter, you almost had me impressed”, Derek commented, knowing very well that blowing his old ‘less of an employee-more of a friend’s’ ego would play out well for him.“Was it though? Really?!”, the old man’s eye’s lit up in excitement, drinking in the praise and momentarily forgetting what the point of their conversation had initially been. Derek nodded at him, playing along.“You know, if I hadn’t been working for your father and then now working for you, I probably would have been in Hollywood. And I wouldn’t have been like a deadbeat actor with a couple of indie films under his belt. Neither would I have been one of those actors whose one movie grosses like a couple hundred million dollars and then they get catapulted into the limelight overnight, but then they get typecast for a couple of years and then they start giving all flops until they’re eventually thrown

    I never doubted how much she cared for me. But the way she was avoiding eye contact with me at the dinner, looking unbearably sad by my existence, annoyed even, that sent me down a spiral of unparalleled confusion. But at least now I had some clue about her weird behaviour at the banquet. It all tied into my poisoning and the attempt at my life. But how was the unanswered question.There were cameras in the cell she was being kept in, the footage of her absolute horror on hearing the news of my demise had to some extent curbed my father’s anger. And bought me some well needed time. The others were not so convinced, most of them, especially my mother, claiming that Roselia was just faking it. That she was just acting for all it was worth so that she could save herself after her escape attempt failed. But thankfully for me, I had a very strong rebuttal, ‘Could anyone of them explain why she then told them where the antidote was? If her plan was to kill me.’ That shut them up real quick

    But I would be lying if I said it didn’t make my heart happy as fuck when I realized that even the possibility of my being dead and no more in this world would make her that fucking sad, like she couldn’t even ever accept it for it would be too painful. Her cries for me broke and fixed me all at the same time.I never doubted how much she cared for me.

    Derek’s POVIt wasn’t going to be easy. Hell, the last thing this was going to be was easy.Fuck! Lia, sweetie, what the fuck have you done?I kept replaying Walter’s words in my head, trying to find something, anything that could help me prove Lia’s innocence. God! None of this made any fucking sense.I rubbed at the throbbing pain in my head when Lia’s screams echoed in the back of my mind, not stopping anytime soon. I hated myself for making Walter tell her that I was dead. I hated hearing her yearn for me, her voice breaking from shock and sadness, painful denial writ in her voice.But I would be lying if I said it didn’t make my heart happy as fuck when I realized that even the possibility of my being dead and no more in this world would make her that fucking sad, like she couldn’t even ever accept it for it would be too painful.

    She might not have been the one to add poison to the food but she certainly was doing a good job of acting like she did.I needed to get to the bottom of this.She needed to tell me what the fuck was going on. What worried me most was how stiff her whole body was as she anxiously looked everywhere but at me. Her gaze flew to the windows twice. She wanted to escape.“Get up”, I ordered her, keeping my voice gruff and uncaring. If, it physically hurt me to admit it - she was the one who poisoned me, it would be better to stay cautious and not lay out my heart in front of her only for her to break it apart in a million pieces.She didn’t budge, keeping her gaze down.At the end of my patience, I didn’t try to ask her again.

      Caspian’s house looked even more elegant now, the moonlight reflecting off of its surface made the glass exterior look spectacular….. but it was just too treacherously big for me to admit to liking it.  Aiden and I had fallen asleep whilst talking. Thankfully I’d set up an alarm so I’d made it to Lucy’s by 5. I took a cab because I didn’t want to bother Aiden, he’d been asleep anyway. And then when I reached Lucy’s friend's apartment where she was staying, she wrestled me into a skin-tight, red, strapless dress which had a slit right up to the top of my left thigh. And then she practically shoved my feet into some high-heeled Louboutins after applying some mascara, a light blush and a rosy red lipstick despite my protests on her dressing me up more than was needed.  “Would you hurry up there, Bella ?” Lucy frustratedly called out to me as she sauntered over to the horrendously huge house. How she could walk in six-inch pencil heels would remain a mystery to me for the rest of my l

      Muting the movie, I turn to him with a stern look on my face as if to say, ‘Back off mister.’  “You look adorable when you’re angry,” Aiden says, laughing as he pokes my cheek. He pays no heed to my anger radiating towards him.  “You are an insufferable nuisance,” I state in all seriousness as I look to the screen where the movie is still playing.  I keep on ignoring him even when he tries to make me talk so many times. I’m just so done with his mind games. Once, he’s warm and loving….. then he’s cold and distant in the flash of a second.  “Will you tell me what’s bothering you ?” He asks, his tone softening as he entangles his hand with mine on the space I’d made between us on the bed beneath the sheets.  “Nothing. It’s just that…. I, uh…” I can’t think of a way to tell him what I feel without sounding like a complete maniac.  “Well, that was very elaborate of you,” Aiden replies, laughing at me as I pretend to be mad at him but a smile creeps up onto my face.  “Let’s start
