- 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
I scoff. Did this human go through my phone? “Did you respond to anyone?” “Nope.” My eyes widens at that answer and I shoot my back off the bed. They would be so worried, my goodness! “But I did talk with a parent over the phone.” He adds. Tch. Why not say this sooner? I rest my back back on
- KILLIAN - After so long, I finally am faced with the opportunity to meet and put an end to my parents’ murderer and I cannot say I am thrilled. Not that I feel any less rage, quite the opposite, I am burning with fury at this person but I hate the situation that led to this point. I was ready
- KATE - I’m itching to figure something out but I can’t decipher what it is. That lady has not gotten back to me yet. I have no way to reach her and I have no clue on anything but I can’t help but replay the incident that unfolded between us on Monday versus what happened on Wednesday in my min
- HAZEL - I hate being in a hospital. I hate waking up to body aches and I hate not being able to move without the supervision of a health professional. I hate being connected to drips and taking several medications daily. I hate perceiving the air here. I just hate being ill. There’s nothing fun
“I’m not innocent.” I murmur. He stands up and walks to me. Killian’s arms are on the ends of my bed, supporting his form as he leans towards me. His face is just inches apart from mine, forcing me to gaze at him. “To me, you are.” His lips locks with mine, devouring my mouth in a short kiss. When
- KILLIAN - The plane landed. I turn my head to the side to look at the lady next to me. Laid on the sofa and asleep in my private jet is Hazel. Does she always sleep during long journeys in planes or was she just extremely tired or is this her way of responding to her wound? I can’t tell, it’s my
- 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.
