TEMPTING THE LONER FORTY ONE
- ISOBEL - I brush my hair backwards, fixing my makeup and getting all dolled up in front of the full wall mirror in my hospital room. Nina got it for me. Along with good clothes which I am putting on right now. My eyes fix on the perfectly laid hospital bed that once housed my body and the folded hospital clothes on top of it through the mirror. I make a face. I won’t miss this place. I sure as hell won’t miss what it did to my mind that night when Nina alerted me of taking care of A. Should we still refer to him as that now that he’s out of the way? I can’t tell, but knowing there is no ‘family home’ to go back to and no toxic stepbrother monitoring my every move while making my life hell is the most relaxing thing to ever happen to me. I take a deep breath, rubbing lipstick on my bottom lip. A subtle curl appears at the end of my lips as I soak in how well the colour suits me. Red is definitely my colour, it depicts certain parts of me quite adequately. A deep breath leaves m

- CAMERON - I just spoke with Emily’s husband. It’s adviced she stays in the hospital till her due date. Of course she hates the sound of that but there’s not much of a choice to bargain on. She was lucky I was present when this happened to her. I don’t want to even think about how much worse it would’ve been if I wasn’t here. I sigh, walking out of her hospital room. Seeing her get ridden on a bed into the hospital scared me. It gave me a strange sense of Deja vu I never experienced. It made me think of my father. . . . think of his death despite not being there to witness it. For once, today in my life, I was afraid of losing someone I hold dear and trust me, worry is not something I’m accustomed to. A vibration in my pocket makes me dip my hand inside to grab my phone. I have several messages from my siblings, from The Lawyer and one from Isobel. I massage my temples with my fingers before staring at my phone screen again. The only person I want to respond to right now is t

- ISOBEL - I’m in a bar. The bar of a club to be precise and I’m here with Nina, she’s not by my side right now but she’s in this very club with me. A smile purses on my lips as I soak in the extravagance of the club as well as the colour changing lights. It’s quite odd that the first place I go to after my newfound freedom is a bar, but I still can’t comprehend the fact that I’m free and pulling an all nighter in a club without being reprimanded or getting threat texts from my family or anyone else and this proves a lot of things. I shove my head to the side, enjoying the beat of the music harmonising throughout my body, I’m not drunk, but tonight, I think I will be. All for the fun of it. All for the feel of it. My excitement is through the roof right now and nothing. . . And no one is going to ruin that. I bring my hand holding a glass of whiskey to my face and slurp down large portions of it down my throat when I feel the presence of someone near me. It’s a female, A

- CAMERON - I get out of my car, slamming the door hastily while checking my phone to know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. This is the right location. I dip my phone into my pocket, walking out of the car park of the club. Anastasia better hope I don’t find her. She’s in for something, that’s for sure. “Your fee, mister.” A man welcomes me at the entrance of the club, face hard and rugged as he could make it to be. He looks like a pro bouncer. Between the two of us, I know one blow is all it takes to get him on the ground but I didn’t come for violence. My reputable presence is too much of status to tarnish. I hold my credit card out, signifying that I’m ready to pay the bill when someone walks out of the club holding a drink. She has too much of a huge smile plastered on her face for what she’s done. “Cameron!” Ana beams, walking to me. “Finally, you arrived it.” She staggers onto me, hanging her arms on my shoulders to give the illusion that she’s drunk. I raise a br

- ISOBEL -I am uncomfortable. Normally, clubbing is a breeze for me because I barely experience it but tonight seems different.I don’t take pills so I know I have no reason to be high, yet for some reason I feel high. My head is foggy and it feels like if I move, I’ll slump to my death. Believe it or not, but I’m too young to die and I don’t wish death on anyone but Cain. My eyes plaster every being before me as it wanders around the club for the umpteenth time this night. There has been no sign of Nina since that lady I mistook for Nina approached me and I haven’t had another drink since then, I’ve just been waiting till Mother Nature knocks some sense into Nina to come back to me because I don’t think I’m in the right state of mind to use a phone and the last thing I want is for it to be stolen. Not when I had a day as good as this one.I sigh, closing my eyes shut and peering it back open, trying not to falter. I can’t sleep and I can’t leave either. Being here just sucks. I fe

- CAMERON - I wish I carried my gun. I’ve never had the urge to murder someone as much as I do now. I remember hearing his grunts as my blood stained fist plummeted into his face. I remember the ecstasy and excitement that came with serving justice with my own hands. I hated it but it felt refreshing. If there wasn’t a lady who needed my care in that instant, I fear I would’ve broken more than just his face. I would’ve ensured that every bit of his insufferable body was pulverised till it would render him paralysed for life. My eyes rests on the collapsed figure slumped on the passenger seat. She’s completely blacked out. The more I look at her, the angrier I get. I’m pissed off at the untrained, ill mannered mongrel who roamed freely in the club and approached her and I’m pissed off that she left herself defenceless and drunk when she knows how dangerous people creeping in her environment are. How can someone be so careless? Why the fuck does her action faze me this much w

- NINA - I’d hate myself later. My phone is on silent and it’s safely kept in the silver purse hanging down from my wrist in front of me as both my hands support it on my thighs as I watch the scene unfold in front of me. I should be in the club but I’m with my father and I dare not touch my phone. I dare not let myself, his heiress, get distracted during a job. It is both unsightly and unfitting for someone like me. And that’s why I have been ignoring every buzz or light up of my phone screen because I know what these notifications could be. No, not what they could be but what they are. Isobel is probably trying to reach me. I constantly remain scornful towards myself but I’d rather be scolded afterwards by Isobel than scolded by my father. He must not sense any bit of hindrance or weakness in me and never in front of his men. The excruciating groan of the man in front of us reverberates in my ears, causing my bland eyes to rest on him. Tied to the ground with thick, bro

- NINA - I am worried. ‘Where are you?’ I text for the fortieth time this night. Yes, I got so desperate that I actually counted how many times I’ve texted her without getting a response from her side and none from the unknown caller either. Considering Isobel didn’t text me herself, I assumed she got drunk and probably asked someone else to do the calling but how can I stay sane when neither she nor the person in question is answering my calls? I’m concerned. Very concerned. I dial her number again and hold my phone to my ears, listening to each ring. The moment the typical recorded, electronic message resounds through the phone, I hang up immediately. ‘Where are you?!’ I text, espying over the car park and the front of the club that’s accessible to my view from here. ‘I’m outside waiting. Please,’ I stare for a considerable long time at my incompletely typed message on my phone. I take a deep breath then proceed to type it further. ‘Call me. I’ll be out for an extra hou

TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY FIVE
- ISOBEL - It’s all so confusing. One minute, he says things that leave my stomach churning with delight and butterflies then the next, he just makes me entirely mad. What is with him and this indecisiveness? He should choose a side. He should know what he wants and stick with it, I’d very much appreciate that. It’ll be way better than having to contend with myself on how I should actually respond to his words while being pathetic about it. I sigh, turning off the shower. I take the towel hanging on the towel hanger glued to the wall and wrap myself in it. But that body though. My mind gives me the graphic image of his body when he opened the door. It took everything in me to respond like a sane person rather than getting lost in how perfectly mesmerising he looks. He’s got the body worth sinking teeth into. A body built to withstand numerous back scratches by women it has laid with. My cheeks burn. I can hear my heart pound loudly in my chest. I don’t care how many he’s sl
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY FOUR
- CAMERON - I don’t want to do anything right now. I feel awful. Well, not entirely awful, just the absence of her presence here is noticeable and this is odd. She’s only been here once and I was barely at home when she was, so why does the few minutes I spent with her hurt like a bitch? I don’t know. When Isobel left, I hopped into the shower to clear my head and wash every trace of blood off my body. Being in the shower as warm water ran down my body made me realise how much of an asshole I was. Dumbass! I judge myself in my head. Who the fuck lets a girl slip away when she was just under his mercy, begging to be laid? Which same man doesn’t want to hop on that opportunity? What is wrong with me and being logical? Shit. Not to talk of the fact that I made her feel like shit. The look on her face showed how saddened she was and that kind of broke me. Back then, I wasn’t even sure if it was the right time to invite her to Emily’s wedding as my plus one of if that would’
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY THREE
- ISOBEL -He’s such a jerk. I frown staring out the planes of the car window, deep in thought. I can’t believe he just gave me the ‘I like you but it’s not you, it’s me’ bullshit talk, well, it’s similar but that’s not the point.I want him. Maybe sexually and more but I’m open about it. He claims to want me but he’s not doing anything to prove it. A sigh leaves my lips. Guilt immediately washes over me.Maybe taking care of my hospital bills after Cain crashed our first date and paying for the apartment I live in right now, along with the fact that I ended up in his home after collapsing last night proves it.I immediately shove the thought away. That’s him acting as a father! I don’t want him to be a father to me, I want him to be my daddy. I want him to have me on my knees, waiting to be used by him in every single way. I groan out loud.I can’t tell if my need is due to the fact that I’ve not had sex for months coupled with the fact that the best manly thing in my life is him or
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY TWO
- CAMERON -This took longer than I expected. I groan aloud walking, shutting the front door leading to my anti room. It’s past seven pm and one word to describe my day? It’s hectic. I drop my keys on the center table the moment I stroll into the living room. I relive my shoulders of my coat, twisting my shoulder backwards to give a self massage.My arms hurt. A smirk forms on my face. Of course they’ll hurt after so much hand activity today. Don’t ask me what, but I assume it’s safe to say Mister Davis Scott, the gentleman at the club who harassed Isobel, won’t be able to hurt anyone ever again. No I didn’t kill him, I just put him in an induced coma. One that will surely last for a very long while. I drop my coat on my folded hand, taking my watch off as I ascend up the stairs. I’m literally stripping myself off every single thing I’m putting on, mainly because I want to crash on my bed immediately I get into my room and also because I need to shower.I’ve got blood stains on cer
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY ONE
- ISOBEL-I'm locked up in a room. There is no one and nothing for me to converse with for I do not know where my phone is. I also don't know if it's right to wander around someone else's house without his consent.I sigh, pacing around this room. This is so frustrating and unfair. It's certainly not how I pictured being in his house would be like. I fall in the bed, assuming a sitting position.He's not even here. That asshole left me alone unbothered in his home. I could be a thief!But I'm not. My mind contends.I'm just pissed off. Apart from food that's brought to me from time to time, I have nothing else to do but stay here and stare at the ceiling till he comes back. Whenever that is.I'm not even anticipating it.You liar! My mind yells. I scoff. Battling with my thoughts has been something I've had to deal with being me with barely any friends. Call me crazy but I have conversations in my head with myself sometimes and I'm perfectly sane. I fall flat on the bed. At least for
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY
- CAMERON - I don’t know how long I can control myself with this need coursing through my veins. Every thing in me wants her. My being is running mad by not having her as mine yet with this new arrival of this human in the supermarket, and seeing her in danger nearly unlocking a part in me I never thought I would see anytime soon, something tells me to stay away a little longer. Just for a little while. Not even for my sake, but for hers. I know how traumatic what she went through last night was, and the last thing I’d want is to add more trauma to her life by getting closer to her, if that note from the supermarket was for me. But damn, I would fall if she makes a pass on me again and I know it. After all, I’m just a man with desires. A lot of desires. And the main object of my desire happens to be in my bedroom. The main magnetic pull to unleash such desires. Tempting. Very tempting. I hear a vibration. It’s coming from the pocket of my coat. I dip my hand in it to take my
TEMPTING THE LONER FORTY NINE
- ISOBEL - I groan. I feel my brows narrowing and easing off on my face continuously and my eyes are still closed. I turn my head to the side. It rests in the softest pillow I’ve ever laid on. This is when I open my eyes. A subtle gasp leaves my lips. I don’t know where I am. My eyes drapes over my body, neatly tucked in a duvet on a super king sized bed. I raise the duvet covers up to gaze at my lower half. I’m not dressed as usual was yesterday. My fingers squeeze the duvet. Someone changed me into these clothes. My eyes still linger on my body as I try to think. Suddenly, everything flashes in. Like a bad memory, I can picture the events of my night. I was drunk and vulnerable then a man approached me. . . I feel awful. . . The man was getting handsy and deliberately choking me of air till my senses were losing touch of my environment. I remember him being all over me, then I fainted. My heart is starting to beat faster. Did he. . . I think I’m going to puke, a hand
