“Professor.” Chimes from the entrance as the subtle sounds of footsteps slid into my ears. Thinking of the devil. “Student.” I say, returning the gesture. Although this woman lives with me in the same house, I can never get tired of staring at her. Of being with her, of enjoying her presence. She
- HAZEL - I felt a rupture like I have damaged my ribs only to find out that it was just the shock of the event that put my mind in a hypnotic state of shock. I’m still trying to grasp what is happening but the ear bleeding sound caused by the continuous shooting of guns keeps halting my ability to
- KATE - I am laying on my bed in my dorm. It wasn’t until I heard a loud explosion that my senses became alert. My heart begins to pump violently in my chest at the noise. It is just morning. I check the date on my phone. My eyes widens with realisation. Not just any morning, it’s a Wednesday m
- HAZEL - Everything is crumbling. I’ve never waded through a jam packed path I can barely see, while keeping my hand stuck to my nose to block myself from inhaling whatever it is that fogs the atmosphere while following right behind Killian before. I guess there’s a first time for everything. And
Well, he’s right, but I can’t help it. My head shakes vigorously in an attempt to nod. “That’s my good girl.” Killian mutters, taking his arms off me. I don’t like that my body isn’t resting on his anymore but I know it’s needed, after all, he can’t work out a way for us to evacuate with my weight
- KILLIAN - I feel it in every vein in my body. With every pump of my heart in my chest. Fury. It ravaged my soul like a beast. I felt my world crumble the second she screamed and I realised that she’d been shot. Quickly changing positions, I caught her before her body fell to the ground. Her eye
A bullet swoop past me, hitting the wall next to my shoulder. That was a near hit. Grunts replay in my ears the further I walk. From the sound of it, it seems like some people are involved in a gun fight wrestle. That’s odd. Who the fuck is that stupid to challenge gun men? Unless those idiots are
- KILLIAN - So many times, I always thought the ones who would cause me pain and problems were my enemies. Those who I’ve brought down and those who want The Iva Empire. I never thought It would be someone I was once acquainted with deeply. I never imagined it to be Asami. And it’s funny becaus
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
- HAZEL - So I’m his girlfriend. I stare timidly at the back of the passenger seat from my sat position in the back seat. I still don’t know how to deal with this information. In reality, I’m with Killian, but to Kate, who I may see a lot due to the fact that I’m on some kind of school holiday a
- KILLIAN - “Your girlfriend? What the fuck, Liam?!” I rage, dragging him inside my bedroom. The women are downstairs, spending time together to bond. “What else did you expect me to do? Let your woman peel the hair off your other one?!” Liam asks, sounding just as distressed as I was. His outw
