- HAZEL - My neck hurts terribly. I don't know what Killian put there but the pain is unbearable. "Okay Kate, I appreciate the care but you can let go of me now." I forced a giggle. I'm trying to hide my tears from rolling down my cheeks. Seeing them together.... seeing her lean over to kiss him..
I wonder why Killian lied about that though. Not like anything would've happened if he told me the truth. I appreciate his effort for trying to keep the peace. "Very. Soon, she'll grow her own cock." Kate swallowed. She's laughing so hard that it sounds like she's about to choke. "I wonder if she
- KATE -"This isn't part of what we agreed on, you shouldn't let her in. You shouldn't let anyone in. And in your room? What is wrong with you Killian?!" I ask, walking toward him from the door entrance. It is night. Once I was sure Hazel was fast asleep and no one would need me for anything throug
"Although I wish you brought her to me or somewhere else." I added. I never visited this house till today for a reason. Imagine how worried I was when I found out that she did? Plus, when Killian said he met her at a bar, it made me wonder if the 'thing' or 'person' that was so important to attend t
- HAZEL -I yawned. My eyes slowly drifted open and I swung my arm to the side a little. Ow! My neck still hurts from yesterday. I really hope the ache dies down soon. I rested my palm flat on my bed and pushed my body up to sit up straight. I was faced with confusion when I noticed the sheets. The
Nasty? A voice in my head interrupted. Those thoughts aren't nasty. Nasty is what to describe the thoughts I had about Killian. My lips formed a line. I took another breath in and exhaled softly. I'm not even mad while thinking about him. I'm not sad either, my conscience pinched me, well, maybe a
- KILLIAN - I have a meeting with S. Of course not a physical meeting but virtual, as usual. None of our faces will be shown during the meeting. It'll just be a blank screen where we both interact on my laptop. For personal reasons I don't use the laptop I use to do his deeds for anything else. S
Maybe. "Haha, joke all you want over a virtual meet. It won't be all roses as glitter when we meet." When? That's something I'd love to avoid. "I don't expect it to be." After a careful run-through of everything, I know I'm set to leave. My chauffeur has been waiting for me for a few minutes now.
I look back ahead. Hazel is still in there. “What does this have to do with what I’m looking at?” I ask. Anger suddenly brews within me but I’m careful not to make a drastic movement. If this lady is insinuating what I think she is, then I’d risk getting temporarily paralysed to give her a resoundin
“Stop panting too hard, Kate. I know you. And you know me.” My heart stopped beating for a second. It was almost as if I forgot to breathe and some sense was knocked into me. Who is this person? Who could it possibly be? The voice doesn’t ring a bell at all. I move my feet in an attempt to turn. “
- KATE - It’s Monday. I’m at the school premises, checking for the halls I’d be taking all my exams at as well as the exam table. On a normal day, I’d get the information online, on the school student website but I needed to keep myself busy physically. There hasn’t been any or much of lectures the
“What can I say? Certain people tend to respond to discipline way faster than kindness.” This makes me squint and stick my lower lip out more as I pout. I’ll choose to ignore that. Mainly because the hour is a good one. I sigh, returning my face to the sky. There are no clouds blocking the moon
- HAZEL - I’m standing out the balcony upstairs, staring into the night sky. It’s cold out here and although my skin is plagued with goosebumps, I didn’t budge nor go back inside. I’m just out here, letting the cold dissolve into my skin while deep in thought. The stars are beautiful tonight. It’s
- KATE - I can’t wrap my head around it but something fishy is going on around me and I don’t know what. I don’t know if I’m the one overthinking what I shouldn’t. What shouldn’t even be in the first place. This is Killian’s fault. If he isn’t acting in some kind of way, I wouldn’t have anything
- ASAMI - There’s something I hate more than cheating. And that’s not being able to get what I want despite coming so close to achieving it. I watched her get off the airport, I watched her throughout the journey till she arrived at her destination. I don’t know what happened after then because I
“Kate.” She calls my name softly. Disgust fills me, riveting throughout my bones and I’m sure it’s obvious in my facial expression. I just want an explanation from her before I dive into ridiculous conclusions based on my current state of mind. After all, she’s my bff. “Talk.” I say, my voice stra
- KATE - I see no surprise. I’m still looking but I see nothing. No sign of anyone present, no decorations. No sign of a gift or anything of that matter. Is this the kind of surprise welcome that’s meant to be hidden at first then revealed later or am I stuck in my delusion? Is he even around? M
