18Kristen He was the man who left me when I needed him the most in my life. The apple of my eyes. The only happiness of my life. My knight. My hero. My ray of hope, which was taken away when he abandoned me, unannounced, all of a sudden. I still could feel the blockage whenever I recalled that hour. When voidness consumed me the second he walked away after spilling the truth on my face.With this hollowing and a paralysing realisation that he was just a dream that scooted away from my eyes forever. He was only an episode that I knew was bound to end one day, yet I drowned myself in the ocean of love, his bounding love. The memories, those vivacious touches of laughter, that stealing pecks from the corner of my mouth, all followed me until the day I swallowed the hard pill, he was destined to stay away from a witch like me. I was cursed and I didn’t want him to live with an ill-fated one.But I still curse the day when he came to tell me his father died and he had to move back with h
19Kristen I yawned as I stretched my arms in the air. It was a beautiful morning. Birds were chirping making beautiful scenery out in the world. The dull sunlight crossed through the windows of my room, moreover, curtains were also drawn so I didn't miss out on the serenity of pleasant morning, the oceanic sea was all before my eyes, making the moment more enjoyable. I yawned again, this time placing a hand on my mouth as I leapt out of the bed. I ambled towards the bathroom and did my business. After spending a few minutes, freshening my face, I went into the shower and enjoyed every second of it. It felt like I was being awarded for all the hardships I faced back with Nikola. It had been two days in the mansion yet I loved every second. People in here were welcoming and sane, unlike Nikola or the perception I had for his family, they were actually loving. I met Nikola’s grandmother; Jennifer introduced us by calling me her friend and a new nanny of her baby. She said she loved w
20Kristen “Yeah, I loved every second of it,”“That was a stupid but cute stunt of yours, blueberry,” He bit my ear and soaked it with his saliva, “But I loved it,” He placed a kiss at the back of my ear. “I loved watching you two together, it seemed like a perfect moment in that store,” “No!” I opposed, stirring in his hold but to my horror, he only tightened his grip. I hissed when he caged me with the bone-breaking grip. I put on endless effort to unsnap his arms but it all went in vain. I sighed louder, trying to keep my breath under control, but it seemed it would be going to be out of my favour. “Let go of me! Ahh!” “Not until you answer why you left me,” He hissed in my ear, smacking his lower against my hip with a snarl. I hitched and yelped the next when he hurled me out of the blue and I fell on the fleecy mattress. My nerves thinned when he took predatory steps toward me, I could gawk at him through my dishevelled brown locks. My limbs shuddered in his terror. “Please…
21KristenThe touch of his lips was luscious against mine. I couldn’t get enough. My hand kept him clipped to my mouth. He was moulding against mine in a perfect rhythm, yet I couldn’t stop myself from smacking my pluckers even more. It was so sinful yet so pure. The need was raw, wild, tempestuous and real. God knew how long I had been yearning to see him, meet him and love him again. I could burn right now. Finally, he was here to tame down the fire.

My hand involuntarily reached the area where it hurt the most—which was the back of my head. I growled inwardly when I rubbed two fingers on the wound and located blood on them. Rage balled up in my chest. I roamed my eyes around and only spotted the corpse and me in the loft, the fire in my chest ignited more, it was enough to burn down the whole Italy if it would take to get my blueberry back.

1KristenLife was tough but living it was tougher. If somebody would ask me to exchange my looks for a peaceful life, I would not hesitate or waste a second to think about saying yes. That's everything I had desired since seven; to live freely, without worrying about how we would manage to eat tomorrow. People said living a life in America was easy, but for me, it was cruel. If you have money, you can probably buy a person as your slave. If not, then you're someone's slave.I was a born American with no father and a mother who knew nothing about parenthood. Instead, I was the one taking care of her since the day I got conscious about this hard life. You must be wondering why I said I haveno fatherbut not an orphan exactly? It's because he left my mom when I was in her womb. It's like I was a death news to him so he ran away. I'd never seen him in my life. Mom once told me he was a handsome man and I got these lo
Yesterday was an unusual day in my life. I had so much fun with Emily's family. They treated me like their own daughter and even bought me a pendant, right away I refused to take it but her mother emotionally blackmailed me saying it was the last gift from Emily. The pendant was beautiful and really expensive. It had a diamond stone fitted in it, and God knew how I would take care of it. This was the most precious gift I ever had.The packing went well. The dinner went better. The hug from Emily went best. And now, tomorrow, I'll have a flight to Italy. Last days had passed so quickly that I forgot the count. Mom was home and currently crying for didn't know what reason. She kept crying and that pierced my heart. I felt the urge to go closer to her but something inside me just stopped me. Maybe, she needed that time alone to realise what she actually did. This was our last property that she bid for a stupid game.I was going through with my school junk stuff that
"Honey, I said go upstairs. I need work to do!" Mom hissed at me, her calling me with sweet names was beyond irritating, and what work was she talking about? Drugs!?I huffed furiously and walked without looking in the direction. I bumped into people but that's the least I cared about that time. I saw stairs upwards. I took them and thought of reaching to the roof for fresh air but it was only a route to the first floor and there were beds everywhere, it seemed like a girls portion and by now, I was sure that it was public property. Maybe what I thought was right. I turned around to step downstairs but got my way blocked by a female... performer?This girl was wearing her red costume. Her eyes were weirdly roaming all over me. Those gazes weren't normal, they were full of lust as if she was scanning me naked. "Excuse me," I tried to step away but she came in front of me again."Oh, ciao, bella. Non mi dici il tuo nome? (Oh, hello, beautiful. Wo

17KristenI couldn’t stop looking behind. He could be chasing me and I wouldn’t even know. My breath was uneven because I was dealing with an anxiety attack, my heart could barely skip a beat in a nanosecond. I was certain he had gained his consciousness back, I could feel it in my chest. I didn’t even want to imagine how he would react when he would find a man murdered by him near him but not me. The thought itself made my eyes watery. What had I done? I shouldn’t have left him to die there and cowardly run away with these unknown men. I knew he could catch me in less than an hour, he had people for everything. Putting me to my deathbed would also be no problem for him either. My sobs got that bodyguard’s attention, he glanced at me through the rearview, but I couldn’t care less. My mind kept on reminding me of the intensity of bloodlust he had for those men when they stepped in and asked him to put me down. The way he gritted, “Or what?” Just as he clutched around me harder.

16KristenIt had been hours of watching Nikola running in circles as if he was into something. I had the baby in my hands, sleeping peacefully. He was indeed a beautiful newborn with the most beautiful blue eyes, a tiny mouth and tiny pointy nose. I was sure he got that pair of blues from her mother and pointy nose from his father because as far as I could recall, Nikola’s brother had hazel eyes, sharp jaw and a pointy nose. I stopped rocking my back and glanced at Nikola who didn’t care to notice me noticing him.“What are you up to?” He left me no choice but to ask.“Nothing that should worry you,” He replied back, rubbing his chin, involved in a deep chain of thoughts.“Well, we have a baby in our home and if you lie to me about any harm that can take place and put this baby’s life at risk… I don't think I or God can everforgive you…” I
He looked at me and so did I. “It’s time to take the lead, baby,” I sighed and threw my anxiety at the very back of my head. I put on a bold face and cat-walked toward the stage.Just as I walked out from the back door. Everyone cheered up as I sashayed and stopped in the middle, putting a hand on my waist. I staredat the camera opposite to me,aware of people who had their phones up, they couldn’t stop taking my pictures.I continued to walk as the slow music continued to play behind me. I could tell the song, it was one of the tracksin my most played playlist,‘Think’ by Kaleida. I stopped on the cross mark tattooed on the floor and continued to pose differently when the host announced Mr. Armani Gracie’s to make an appearance, which he did, cat-walking straight toward me.The singer took the high note when he stopped beside me and put a hand on my waist. I felt a current stormin
15Play 'Think' By Kaleida. I Am Sure It Will Help Your Imagination.KristenI stood before the tall mirror. Checking out my back. The apprehension won’t just leave me. This lingerie was barely hiding any of my skin, it had a long v-shaped neckline dropping till my stomach. My breasts were sneaking through the thin black net fabric that was long till my lower hipbone. I gulped, shivering like a mess, millions of voices were blaming me for agreeing to wear this, but this was an opportunity I couldn’t miss.Yes, I was here, at Italy’s biggest fashion empire Gracie’s lingerie outlet’s launch. I couldn’t believe it was happening. I couldn’t just take it. Nikola made it so fast for me to jump in the middle of known faces, it wouldn’t be possible without his name, cause it takes years of modelling to reach the role I was given for this night. He told me his CEO was his frien
