- 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
- HAZEL - I hear the thud of solid shoe soles echo in my ears. This makes my brows crease. Even a sound so faint makes its way to my ears and actually bleeds the heck out of it. I let out a breath through my mouth. For some reason, it feels as though my mouth is in some sort of confinement b
- 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
I gulp, lowering my eyes to the ground. I can’t even call her name. “I-“ I can barely hear my own voice. “Kate I’m sor-“ “I see you two have already met.” A deep voice words from behind causing the two of us to avert our piercing gazes from each other. It’s Liam. Trust me, I am just as confused as
- HAZEL - My wound has been treated. I’ve taken my antibiotics and had a decent light meal so right now, I’m in the shower, brushing my teeth. I’ve already had my bath, I just want to have a fresher breath when I meet with my parents. I turn the sink tap on and cup my hand underneath to form a
- HAZEL - Killian tucks a duvet over the bed. I’m sat on it, well fed and stuffed to the core, about to lay down and sleep. On his bed. After spending my time on a hospital bed, although comfortable, his bed is my new favourite place. Something about having him near me when I sleep makes me feel p
- KILLIAN - I love my brother, I genuinely do but even I can tell he’s trying to get on my nerves on purpose. His drive is the fact that I care about someone else who’s not family as much as I do and he’s going to do what he does best and torment me. Sometimes, all I feel for him is love but when
Killian chuckles. “For someone whose body burns with need, you sure seem to exhibit self control.” I don’t have self control when it comes to you, but you already know that, I say in my mind. I would’ve spoken that out loud if my voice wasn’t buckled away in the depths of my throat. To be honest,
