His fists tightens around my shoulder. I don’t know why, but for the first time, I felt an urgency. I sensed danger and I can’t even understand why. I twine my arms around his, aiming to comfort whatever it is I felt in his touch before turning around to face him. My form is so small compared to hi
What on earth am I missing here? ‘That was for surprising purposes, lol.’ Kate responds. ‘Well consider yourself surprised.’ I scroll further, trying to see what I missed. I can’t find anything. The chat is filled with endless chatter about me. ‘She’s finally awake!’ Resa texts. ‘Took you long
- HAZEL - I had a shower. I needed to wash my thoughts away and prolong the time it would take me to have breakfast hoping that maybe, just maybe, Killian would be at the table waiting for me. Then I’d join him and eat with him till the right time to bring this up arrives. I don’t want to eat alon
I may have read too much books that it has messed with my mind but this man, his body, hair and attire included, is fitted with that drawn in manwhas but with a touch of modernity. This man is beautiful. The confident smile on his face also beautiful. This has to be the first time I have studied a
- HAZEL - “Can I ask you something? I don’t want to go into details for my own reasons but can I ask anyway?” I ask Killian, clenching my fingers around a fork on the dining table. He’s started eating, I haven’t touched my meal at all. “Sure, go ahead. Ask me.” Killian’s voice is soothing as he d
“That’s a good girl.” That sultry tone makes me want to puke. “Now I’ll ask you again, miss me?” I manage to tilt my head to the side to face her. She has a hoodie over her face and underneath it is a cap, both black. She’s trying to hide her facial appearance in her fit. This is the first time I’v
SHE’S CRAZY!! Asami cocks her head to the side, staring at me. A grin forms at one end of her lips. She’s enjoying seeing me look miserable and afraid. With a sharp pull, my body comes forward, back to the rooftop and stumbles on it. This certainly gave me bruises but right now, I’m just glad I’m
- HAZEL - ‘You’re being very obedient, Hazel. Keep being you and we won’t have a problem.’ I bite my lip as I read the text. How did I get myself into this in the first place? One would think after a week, this whole charade will be over but it isn’t. Asami still hates me and she’s making it her
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.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
- KILLIAN - I raise my hand up then bend it so it touches the opposite shoulder. After this, I let my other hand rest on the elbow or my stretched hand and yawn, stretching my body out while standing in the office this whole thing began, the hunt for power and the acquiring of power. I’m at the Iv
- KATE - So his brother is with my best friend, who would’ve thought? I guess even she didn’t know. I doubt I would if I was in her shoes. The odds are quite slim but here we are, getting stronger in our friendship in more ways than one. Never would I have imagined her being with someone like L
