He knew!"You were saying, Miss Grey?" He teased again with his eyes on me."I…" I've never felt this second hand embarrassment.Well it's not my fault, if they had allowed me pick my stuffs from the hotel I lounged before kidnapping me."You?" He pushed me teasingly with his tone."I…" I swallowed, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, "I don't have anything to wear.""And your problem is?" He plastered that smirk.The bastard.I wish Alberto was here.Biting my lips softly, I looked away from him.With a soft chuckle, he walked towards me and placed a hand on my hip. -Control it, control it Beck- Tilting my chin towards him, he grazed his thumb over ny soft pink lips, "You're not getting away from me that easy."I blinked confused as I became aroused at the way he was touching me.His voice was soft and caressing as he spoke, which was odd because I rarely ever heard him speak like that, "There's a bag at the side of the bed with a dress in it. Wear it. I'll be waiting for you

Daniel..?The person who walked past the exit of the hall had looked a lot like my brother. Standing to my feet, I panicked. Sinister was nowhere to be seen at the moment and my brother was in the building! I saw him after so many years! No, I wasn't loosing him. Not again. Rushing out the room, I entered an empty hallway and ran searching for him. It couldn't be my imagination. I knew he was here! I turned another corner where i suddenly saw him in a closing elevator pointing up to another man."Daniel!" I yelled but it was too late as the elevator shut.No. No- no- no- no!My heart was becoming so tight I thought I would actually drop dead right now. Rushing tii ok the staircase, I rushed up as fast as I could but again it was too late when I arrived as I saw the aged man in the elevator with him just step out. I steadied my breaths, noted another elevator at the side, quickly went inside and pushed the button. Thank God as there was only one more floor up or else I wouldn't even f

"Don't play with me right now Grey, I'm not in the mood" "Ohh," My smile wavered."Can you walk?""I-I think so." I stated as I tried getting up and stretching my legs. They still ached but I could have Survived. "It's okay now.""Good. Now walk to the bathroom and hurry up."With a sigh, I walked to the bathroom and tried to turn the water heater on but it was too high. What the hell was wrong with this shower anyway, Why wasn't it coming in? And this hotel claimed being a five star.Five star of shit."I-I can't," I struggled trying to reach the switch whilst tiptoeing and accidentally knocking down some of the conditioners."Grey, what are you doing?""Robbing a bank.""Good for you." I heard him say."I-I can't reach the stupid heater!" I groaned."Do you need it?" He sounded annoyed."Yes, yess Sinister." I pouted like a child.He opened the door and stepped into the shower where I was."It must such being short." He smirked."I'm fun sized, don't push it.""Fun sized?" He arche

Taking a deep breath, I continued my shower. Wrapping the towel around me, I stepped out of the bathroom only to find Nadia sitting on the edge of the bed."There were the best I could find. Most of the boutiques were closed." She frowned and gave me pajamas shorts and a decent sized loose T-shirt along with other essentials stuff in the bag.Still, I was grateful to her."Thank you." I smiled.I hadn't expected it but she shot a subtle smile back at me, "Sin's in another room, he'll be done soon. Don't make him wait, he seemed angry."Quickly going back into the shower and getting dressed I came back and found him sitting on the sofa while Nadia looked out the window. "Good. You're here." Sinister stated looking at me as if nothing had happened between us.I took in his attire, it was different yet a nice look on him. His dark damp hair tousled perfectly, dark jeans, charcoal grey T-shirt and a black leather jacket. It was weird not seeing him in a suit yet it was refreshing seeing

"Not a very impressive idea for our first date Sinister ." I teased.Sinister got off the bike and helped me off."What is this place?" I asked, curiously."Weren't you hungry? This was the only place I could have found in this area." He shrugged and pulled a shirt for me to sit at one of the outside tables.He was right, looking around again, I took notice of how rural the area was. No buildings, no houses, no anything really, just a long empty road. Where the hell did he really bring me? The eatery itself was scanty with only few older men hanging around. He stared at me as I shifted uncomfortably in my seat."So?" I tried breaking the uneasiness, "How long would it take again until we get home?""Home?" He arched an eyebrow with a subtle smile."I mean, back at your house." Idiot."Not sure.""What? What do you mean not sure?" "I never took this route before.""What? Don't mess with me Soft served! Tell me you're lying!" I exclaimed in a panic."Would you relax? I'm not insane." H

I'd rather laugh than cry about it.He hadn't said anything. He never replied. Instead, his expression seemed to turn into a mild curiosity."What about your family?" He asked, suddenly catching me off-guard."What?""Your parents.""—Are good people. They weren't abusive, if that's why you asked." I defended."I never implied anything.""But you were getting there." I pointed and took a deep breath, "My dad is hardly ever around Sin. After my mother died, the only way he supported my siblings and I were financially."He frowned when I said that, "What happened to your mother?"I hated telling this story to anyone yet I tried to bury my agony and push through with the only decent conversation we were having. I made sure not to make eye contact with him."My mother was murdered," my voice broke, "Gang raped and murdered."I tried not to look at him, I really did yet I couldn't. His lips stapled in a thin straight line, hardened by his facial expression. He seemed to be lost in a memory

For some odd reason, I wanted to stand up. I had this sudden stupid urge to do it. Holding unto his shoulders, I carefully pushed my shoulders up.. He seemed to drive a little bit slower to steady me on the bike.This feeling was euphoric. I held my both hands out to the side as I let the cold morning breeze lick my face and I laughed. The wind gently tousled my hair nearly back as I closed my eyes and soaked in the ambiance of the empty highway. Never in my entire life have I felt like this before. It felt real. The moment felt raw. I knew I'd miss this feeling when the moment is over. I never wanted it to end. It didn't seem as dangerous when you're in the moment doing something like this. Who cares anyway, Life is short."You should probably sit down. I need to go faster." He stated.That didn't exactly ruin the moment. For the matter, i actually felt quite satisfied. Wrapping my arms back around him, I leaned on his back and smiled to myself.There was no one to tell me what to

Shadows of Deception Fiance? (Sinister’s POV)
Sinister’s POV I should hate this girl. She's nothing but problems. And yet, I find it most difficult to stare away right now. Her dark hair tousled down her back and over her shoulder as she leaned against the leather interior of the limo. She pressed her head gently against it as her eyes grew wary and distant. She'd been peeling the dead skin off her fingertips subconsciously since we got in here. Were the heels really that high? I shouldn't have asked the lady for the best pair. I should have just gone with the most comfortable pair. It was my fault. But how was I to know she couldn't walk in them? How was I to know anything about her? The navy gown clung to her body effortlessly. If anything, she could easily get mistaken for an angel fallen upon the earth. God. I pushed the thought away. What the actual fuck was I saying? She was a fallen angel sure, one just like Lucifer at least. Fallen upon me to frustrate the living daylight out of me. Her face glowed under the moonligh
Shadows of Deception “The beginning of our end…”
~^~ "Me being with you would have been dangerous, Becky. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you because of my selfish decision." “James knew, didn't he? You were with him that day when you went after Vincelli." I strained my voice to even speak. With a pause, “Yes, but I couldn't get you involved anymore. Grey, you have this life ahead of you. It's a great life, why are you looking back?" “Because you're there." “Becky," he breathed, stunned at that, his eyes softening. “You have my heart. You’ll always do. I'm perplexed as to what you see in a monster like me but maybe that's why I'm so drawn to you. You see me as virtuously human and I feel otherwise and somehow or the other you see me as worthy and I could never understand your kindness. I love you, fuck, you make me so weak." Slipping my hand into his, I closed the space between us, pressing my body against his and my head against his chest. His heartbeat was fast and steady as he wrapped his free ha
Shadows of Deception “Don’t leave me. Please…”
~^~ "He was one of my closest friends. Shall I have this dance? For him?" James asks as he puts out his hand. Pleasantly, I danced with him and it almost felt as if he was trying to sober me back up before someone else asked for a dance. Dance after dance and my feet were getting sore. Many of Archer's friends seemed to somehow have 'taken a liking to me' as Archer said in a somewhat cautious manner when he pulled me aside but I assured him that they weren't my type. God even knows what my type was. Walking back to the bar, I had another drink, and because I was a "lady" and most importantly, Archer's long-lost little sister, I had to upkeep a decent reputation- wine- no beer for me. Also, I couldn't kick that one guy violently to smash his banana when he tried to slide his hand down the equator. “I’m not sure if you're trying to get drunk or sober:" A man said to me from the side. “Is both an option?" "Only if you're trying to kill yourself." He started with a soft short
Shadows of Deception Even after the odds.
*~*The weight of the world seemed to be crashing down upon me or rather tugging mercilessly at the strings that sewed together the broken pieces of my heart. The entire flight I kept to myself and the weeks that came as well.Everything felt painful and it wasn't even that time of the month. “Do you know, when it was your birthday while you were in the coma, he spent every single second of the day with you? He didn't even give a shit about work. Whatever that day was, he canceled all plans and stayed at your bedside for every second. He was in so much pain seeing you like that, Becky. I almost envied that- that brotherly affection. It was beyond me."Snapping back to her attention as I heard that I held back a tear from escaping, she was right. I was being so selfish right now. I'm grieving but it feels like I'm hurting everyone around me.“I’m sorry," I said softly trying to recollect myself and my thoughts. "Let's do something for him. He deserves it."There was a certain light to
Shadows of Deception “For the betterment…”
~^~“Jesus." I heard him say softly.“Well, I mean it's Becky, but I guess I can work with Jesus if you want."Not a moment passed by when I felt strong arms embrace me."I thought you were.” He choked within his sentence filled with joy and sadness and a somewhat bitter longing. “But. you're here, you're okay."Returning his hug, I felt so many emotions swarm within my soul, I missed you, James. I was looking for you. You said you'd come back two years ago and-""I did Becky, believe me, I did. My heart broke when I saw you in the hospital in that state I just didn't know what to do. I felt like I failed you, I disappointed you and Mare. I didn't get to you in time.""James," I said faintly, "Marc-""I know, but I keep telling myself that he's in a better place."In that second the back door near us bolted open and an awestruck Moe stood with his face paled as he saw James who released me slowly and faced him with kind eyes, "Jamie?"My voice dripping with agony brought his attention
Shadows of Deception Tying up loose ends.
~^~As the sun gave birth to the sky, I quickly packed my luggage and left the apartıment leaving a 'Be Back Soon' note to Nadia on the refrigerator. So help me God, let me know what I'm doing. Somehow it just felt right to go there.Walking into the airport, I went to my flight and sat at my specified seat. Taking a deep breath, shut my eyes ready for the flight to take off when I heard a familiar voice. “You forgot this."Looking up I saw Nadia arching her eyebrows while taking the seat next to me, giving me my phone."What are you doing here?" I frowned, shocked at her presence. Nadia inhaled deeply and tiredly made herself comfortable in the seat, "I honestly don't know why but somehow this trip seems to be important to you. Also, your company kind of grew on me."Smugly I smiled, “Aww, you mean you'd miss me."She rolled her eyes and asked, "So where exactly are we going'?"“I have no idea.""Becky, you can't be serious!" She exclaimed as we walked into the airport, "You didn't
Shadows of Deception So much for a vanilla life.
~^~You never know what life is until near death hits you. And you'd never know what love is unless you lose- be it your ego, your vices, your hate, your time, or your love. That's the harsh reality of our burdened lives.I opened my eyes to feel the binding lights above me as my body drowned in the stiffening bed I rested on. A sudden chill ran across my body as I turned slightly to take note of the sun dying for the sky to breathe through the small window at the side. Where was I? Looking down at my body, I found myself decorated with hospital equipment for patients. Pushing away the oxygen mask from my face, I stumbled out the bed with an intense migraine. Why was I in a hospital? God, my head hurt. I pressed my hands against my temples as I moved across the room to the window.“Becky? Oh my God! Nurse!" I turned to see Nadia at the doorway of the room as she smiled almost in shock and tears streamed down her face. Something about her lookeddifferent.Archer suddenly rushed to my
Shadows of Deception Damned.
~^~ “Damn." Archer frowned, “What happened to you, Banks?” “Your fucking sister did!" She screamed about to plunge towards us but I grabbed one of Archer's needles from his pocket and stuck it in her neck. “You are very welcome." I breathed in relief and looked at him, "Alright, let's go." "Guys just get out of there, we'll leave it to the COSR, James probably left already. There Is need to be inside that place right now. Come on out, It's dangerous." Nadia stated, "Come back." “I’ll run through the place once more," Archer suggested, I know how to handle myself, I'm sending Becky back." "Because Becky is a dog you can just take for a walk to meet a notorious drug-lord slash killer, and send back." I smiled, “But don't worry, I'm going I'm going, no need to rush for my presence boys. There's plenty of this attitude to go around, calm YO-selfs." I heard Moe’s chuckle from the ear piece, “Yeee, you’re becoming more like me.” Whatever. As I was about to take the next ste
Shadows of Deception Secret of deception.
As we walked I felt nauseated by the place, every step of the way."Don't worry, we just need to buy Moville sometime to find James."Over the earphones, we heard Moe speak, "When I find Jamie, I'll send you a code phrase.""What code phrase?" Nadia asked through the speaker."It's, Uncle Moe 's got a big package."“Is this even necessary?" Nadia scoffed as Nik laughed at her disgust."Once he gets Novak, it doesn't matter." Sinister voiced.Archer and I stood in front of this large deeply polished oak door and knocked twice when we heard a voice signal us to enter. As we did, there sat a thin tall man whose hair was neatly brushed back, at a desk whose chair was turned to face a large open-concept window that overlooked the mountain lights above and beyond. It was a beautiful sight I had to admit."Isn't it lovely, Kitty?" The man began in a rough yet smooth voice, “You loved to come up here and look at the stars with me. She particularly loved to be up here with you as well. It was
