You are killing me, but you have a right to. Never have seen a greater or a more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you. Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who. - Ernest Hemingway.|L O R E N Z O|"I know where did that person called from." Mark informed giving me a new hope and bringing me out of my frustrating thoughts. "Then tell me. What are you waiting for?" I said on the phone in urgency while people around me gave me weird and concerned glances over my impatient state. "What's the hurry, Enzo?" Mark responded annoying me and pushing me to the point where I would have no other option left other than threatening him with his dear life because there is nothing much he is afraid of loosing. "Do. Not. Test. Me. Mark." I gritted through clenched teeth putting pressure on each and every word that escaped my mouth.And the next sound that reached my ears from the other side of the phone was of laughing like a maniac. This ma
What a shame that the girl who once believed in fairytales and magic had to be struck by reality with demons in her mind and the fear of never being loved. -k.f. |I R I S|Coincidentally, the phone call that was made to complain against the boys was made from the same supermarket, I and Rowan went to. This is going much longer than any of them expected. The house stays more silent and working with boys finding the rat. Because they think there is one. Though, I do not know much about it. I have a few pieces of information from here and there and it is impossible to solve the puzzle with these little pieces. So, I try not to make it more complicated than it already is. And, to keep my mind at ease in the deadly silent mansion that somehow creeps me out with no sound in the absence of boys, I started to play chess. Sometimes, Lorenzo plays with me when he is not working mostly I play with myself. Chess is a game of mind and winning
I will be quiet when we can say 'sexual assault' and they stop screaming 'liar'. -Rupi Kaur. |I R I S|My screams tore through the darkness of my room and I expected someone from outside to come and help me. Clutching the towel tighter to my chest with both hands I backed away, slowly and carefully. The terror slowly seeping inside my veins as his smirk grew with his each step towards me. My heart races in my chest and goosebumps erupted on my body. "Come here, baby." His dark sinister voice causing a menacing feeling in me. I did not even realised when tears started building in my eyes, blurring my vision but I did not stopped. Not only I kept stepping away from him, wanting to keep distance between us but I even started throwing things at him from everywhere in my room. But he ducked everything causing all the objects to crash on the floor and shatter to pieces. My room is a mess right now with all the objects spread down on the
But if I sit in the rain maybe I can drown in something other than my own thoughts. -J. w. |L O R E N Z O|"Does that mean we are close?" Rowan asks Mark who explained the call details to us."Where did you get that from?" Mark give him a bizzare look as if he is different to think like that. Well, he is different like that. "The voice on the call obviously belongs to a woman, plus the call was made from the super market. All we have to do is get their phone records from that day to find out about her." Rowan summed up his thoughts shortly, showing off his intelligence. "It is not obvious that the call was made by a woman." Mark says and we frown at him because when we heard the call recording it was obviously high pitched enough to be considered of a woman. "What are you talking about? Which man speaks like that?" Rowan gives a look of disbelief to Mark. "The one who does not want to be caught." Mark comments and his words register
She was drowning with rocks around her feet and the world stood by in life boats asking why she could not walk. -Atticus. |L O R E N Z O|I am in my car, driving recklessly not being able to get her pained scream out of my head. I keep on trying to call her but the phone is fucking switched off. My heart rate only fastens as anxiety and restlessness seeps inside my body. Rowan, Mason and Lucas keep on trying to call me but I decline their calls. I can not talk to them right now. I can not talk to anyone right now. I need her. I fucking need to see her. The need is both urgent and scary. But, I do not focus on that as I stepped in the gas further to increase the speed. The mansion looks calm and normal from outside and it should ease my worries to some level but it only makes me more anxious. I do not bother parking car as soon as I am in front of the main door, I get out and practically run inside the mansion. The lights glowed around in
So many people become songs and poetry. But will never know our world is full of the ghosts of unspoken words and memories. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|Life is unpredictable. I never believed in this phrase. I thought this was just an excuse people used for explaining things they failed to predict. After all, people do not just accept failures, they create a million things to justify that the failure was bound to happen. But, now, I hold the hand of Iris in mine waiting for her to wake up and look at me with the same joy and shine in her big violet eyes. But she does not. She does not open her eyes nor she tells me that she is alright as I try to predict.She does not say that it was just a nightmare of mine and she is okay, right beside me. She just lays on the bed, unconscious. According to doctors, there is yet some time for the effect of drugs to disappear and her wake up. So, I hold her hand gently in mine afraid that she will d
Suddenly you are ripped into being alive. And, life is pain and, life is suffering and, life is horror but my god you are alive and it is spectacular. -Joseph Campbell. |I R I S|Have you ever felt empty to a point that there is nothing left worthy enough to be felt? Like someone have dug deeper inside you and pulled everything from you, leaving you empty and numb for so long until there was nothing left. I am right now sitting by the side of window, looking outside, blankly. There are a lot of things that could be appreciated like the birds in the sky, the natural and aromatic scent of the nature. The clear sky with the lightest shade of blue and clouds spread like cotton in it. But it looks black and white for some reasons. Everything does. Black is not me favourite color. Never have been. I always have been a girl of colors like a rainbow and now when I can not find those colors I feel frustrated. But I am too numb to react. So, I just sit
Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be? -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|As soon as my arms wrapped around her body, something in her snapped and she pushed me away. Her force was so inevitable. Her blank look pained me. She did not looked at me, she did not looked at the man she once found solace in. She saw a monster and there was nothing that could possibly wipe that look from my mind, ever. It was imprinted in my mind forever. She brought her knees closer to her chest and said, "I am sorry." Her voice had an edge of disappointment. She was feeling guilty. "I am so sorry." She looked on the verge of crying yet no tears came out of her empty violet eyes. "Please, do not touch me." She requested and I wanted to break something because everything inside me was breaking at once at her this condition. I have never seen her like that. Not even when I kidnapped her and kept her in the basement. She is terrifi
Two months later..."You are hot." Iris' mother complimented Lorenzo and he blushed under the judgmental gaze of his girlfriend's mother."Daisy!" Mr. Emerson scolded but only if his wife was one from listening."What? Isn't he?" Mrs. Emerson looked up at her husband with doe eyes and her husband gave in."Thank you so much for coming." Lorenzo thanked the couple, genuinely."Oh come on, you are proposing her. We need to be here." Mrs. Emerson shrugged."You better take care of my little daisy or I will kill you." Mr. Emerson threatened and a death warning coming from such a sweet person absolutely had an deep impact.Lorenzo nodded his head as he assured the couple, "I will always take care of her. And, if any day I fail, you are free to take my life." Lorenzo added.Mr. Emerson nodded with assurance at the man's sincerity before walking ahead towards their assigned room."How is my favourite son doing?" Came his mother's voice.He beamed at his mother before she pulled him in her mo
What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that
An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s
Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu
I want you. Your bones. Your body heat. The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.
A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth. -Jess C. Scott. |I R I S|Today morning, when I woke up, my day was already reserved for Ronan without my knowledge. So, I was waken up in the most horrible way one could wake up. That stupid human being threw a bucket of cold water on me. It not only ruined my precious sleep but also ruined my sheets as well. And, now he is sitting at floor in my room while the servant changes the sheet. I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth when all I wanted to do was sleep. "Hurry up, lazy lad." He yelled out from outside growing impatient after ruining my morning. With brush in my mouth I could not properly speak so I just rolled my eyes and went ahead to spit out the content in my mouth. I splattered cold water on my face and my eyes did not felt as heavy as before anymore. I am going to kill Rowan. Was my first thought since my brain
I can not tell you how piercingly and endlessly I think about you. -Virginia Wolf. |I R I S|A new day, a new morning, a new start and a new beginning. I woke up after a long night that provided me with the enough rest I needed for today. Stretching my arms, I let out a lazy yawn and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm. When my eyes opened properly, I looked around in the room I was sleeping in. The same room, I used before. Everything seems exactly the same, just a few changes here and there. I smiled at the memories that are connected to this room, fondly, before standing up from the bed.I opened the curtains of the room letting the sun rays enter the room to lighten up the dark room. Light reached almost all the corners of the room, filling it with a new yellow and glowing light. My lips curved in a cheerful smile at the joy of this mew beginning.ast night, I decided to give my relationship with Lorenzo another chance. Despite all
I just want to be in love with somebody who wants to be in love with me. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I took her petite hands in mine and looked into her eyes with tenderness before I spoke, "I did a lot of horrible things, Iris." I started, speaking with my heart because I do not remember remembering these words when I was preparing for the apology speech that Google helped me write. "I made mistakes. I disappointed you. I hurt you." I confessed all my mistakes, "But, I never meant to." I told her. "I am not trying to justify my actions here. Trust me." I insisted as if my world would crumble down if she would believe otherwise. Her violet orbs stayed focused at me while I spoke, not saying a word or interrupting me, "I.. I want to tell you that everything was wrong. It was so fucking wrong. And, you do not know how fucking sorry I am." My voice shakes when I say this and I control myself from breaking into a crying mess. Because I feel th
