- KILLIAN -I stepped into the bar with a firm expression on my face. My jaw tightened just by sighting this place, I hate it already. I ran my eyes around, trying to find her. She's not in sight. It is kind of frustrating to think she's with another man, probably doing unholy things. But come on,
Hazel stood up. Her body staggered forward, uncontrolled. I took a step back to avoid her body falling on mine. As much as I'd love to hold her if that happens, part of me wants her to fall. Maybe the ground will knock some sense into her. Why am I even this pissed? Why on earth does this girl's ac
- HAZEL - He did not just tie me up and lock me in his trunk. I can't believe Killian. DID HE EVEN THINK OF HOW I'D BREATHE?!After a long drive, my throat hurt and I got tired of screaming. I also couldn't reach my phone so I dished that thought too. He's meant to be with Kate, what changed? I sw
"She's not. I don't bring women home."My heart skipped a beat. Women? She's not just any woman. "Not even her?"Killian walks behind me. I didn't follow his movement with my gaze but he came back with a tumbler and a bottle of brandy. The tumbler is half filled with the brandy. He drank out of it.
- HAZEL -I sigh and roll to the other side. My eyes are still shut and I'm desperately trying to sleep. I'm so tired yet despite my efforts, I can't. I don't know if he just gave me a phobia for tiny spaces or if my actions still freak me out but I know my thoughts keep me from having a good night
My little payback ended badly after all. I sigh and stare at the large door facing me. There's no hope now, I guess I might just walk into it and cross my heart that it'll lead me back to the corridor I came out from. Back to my room. I'll force myself to sleep, I swear! Heck, I'll even glue myself
Killian turned the lamp off. I don't know why that made my heart skip a beat. I just asked him to direct me and he turned the light off. Is that his way of rejecting my request? I guess so. The room suddenly brightened. I used my hand as a veil in front of my eyes to block the rays of several ligh
- HAZEL -I still can't sleep. This time, it's not insomnia or thoughts keeping me awake, nor is it the noise from the tv. I sigh, well, it partially is. Just knowing he'd rather stay up all night than join me crushes my soul. I'm not asking for anything intimate, even if I want that, just a hug wi
- KILLIAN - I dip my hand beneath the outdoor pouring shower, then rinse my face with it, repeating the process. While water is blatantly pouring all over my skin, my feet and lower half of my legs more, I don’t want to get wet entirely. I can always rinse my feet but going inside due to getting my
- KILLIAN - “Could you be any more childish?” I ask the moment I walk towards her by the buffet display. She hasn’t spoken to me all day and I know her well enough to know when she’s avoiding me. Maybe I wouldn’t be so pressed about it if she wasn’t hanging around so frivolously with my brother.
- HAZEL - I let out an exhale, resting on the car window. These past few days have given me some time to think. Not about anything serious, just more about the right thing to do and my well being. “When will we get there?” I ask my driver, my eyes still on the road through the tinted window. Since
- ASAMI - It hit me like a wave the moment my mind and body became responsive to stimuli. My memories came crashing back to me all at once like a plague and what’s worse? I can actually feel an ache at the back of my head. I bite my lower lip to hold in the groan that nearly leave my lips at the a
She is nothing like a lady. Or not a decent one at best. I wonder if she treated all her victims the same way. I wonder if she dined to their demise. “You surely have good taste with wine.” She husks, her voice dragging out. The lady rests her elbows on the desk, clapping both her hands to a side
- KILLIAN - I let out a sigh, playing with my zippo in a dark room in the penthouse of a hotel. I’m expecting an important guest tonight, one I’ve wanted to meet for a very long, long time. The end of one side of my lips curl. I’m not smiling. Far from that, underneath this eerie smirk of mine is g
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
