..."There is something I want to talk about with you," Sabastine began as we both stood outside away from inside. Something in me telling me he just doesn't want his sister to find out what we are talking about."I know," I said forcing a smile as he tried to touch my hand, slowly I moved away, to say I was not afraid would be a big lie. I can't even fathom what my head is thinking. "Are you alright?" he asked as I forced a smile nodding."What is the problem? I asked changing my tone and switching on him as I began to act concerned."There is something you have to know_" he began while I just stared at him wondering and trying to come up with what he could be thinking if telling me. Perhaps another story on while this place is the best for me."Let's sit down should we?" he asked pointing at the table which was set close to where we stood. I nodded as I walked over first taking a seat as I watched him approach. His eyes were eager and mellow at the same time, they say eyes don't
" Are You asking me what I am thinking right now?" I asked dumbfounded."Yes yes exactly," he exclaimed, holding my both hands. Perhaps he misunderstood the smile on my face. It wasn't an inviting one but rather one of wonder and utter amusement at the ridiculousness of what I was just hearing."Not only will I change your name but I will also change your life, I might not be as rich as him but am up there," He said his voice eager.The chaos in my head can not even be explained or written down as my jaw dropped. What on earth is this situation?"You want me to be with you...." even my own words failed me as I felt tears drop from my cheeks. Overwhelmed and conflicted about how to react.My voice felt trapped within. I wanted to vocalize my pain but I couldn't because I am in the territory of an enemy. Have I somehow gotten Involved with an obsessed psychopath who would go as far as kidnapping a woman just because he wants her?I watched the determination in his eyes, his words fallin
...I watched as Florence's eyes darkened as her breathing rapidly increased all this evidence of her weak heart, at least the one thing they didn't lie about.It was obvious she was pushing herself and not a single sympathy from my side, I looked at Aurora who intentionally told her to rail her up as I said."She is about to pass out," I Said and just like I stated, she began to stagger, not being able to hold herself in place as Aurora rushed to her aid."You evil twat," I don't even know what that meant but I watched as she was dragged out as my hand went to my tummy.I have slowly begun to feel bloated and not even once have I had any medication for this baby, but I believe deep down she is growing strongly and healthy. Or he."Whatever you are inside of me," I muttered holding myself as I fully took in the appearance of where I have found myself.The windows were tiny and very high and not a single light bulb was in sight. Only god knows how bad it's going to be once it's dark en
...Not a single sleep reached my eyes as I sat hugging myself. I already foresaw that it was going to be spooky during the night time but the coldness didn't cross my mind."Think happy thoughts," I try to remind myself of my happy moments with Max but only tears accompany me. The thought that Sabastine would return even more angrily as he had left without saying a word to me. He was obviously pissed because of my rejection.And I knew he was going to be back surely. This time I didn't lose track of time, in fact, it went as slow as possible with every sound of a jumpscare as I secretly prayed for morning not to come, a part of me knew the future was not going to be looking good so what's the need to look forward to it.What would have been of me if I had wasted just a tiny bit more time at the salon that day? What would have happened if I had read the signs and not entered inside upon seeing cars parked in front of my house that day? Maybe I wouldn't have been taken and brought to
...The large door that leads to the Dungeon burst open as I squinted my eyes trying to see who it was, the icy blonde hair gave her away. It was obviously Aurora. The smoke that followed made it almost impossible to see what was going on.But it was still obvious that she was gasping for air as she slumped to the floor. Then right there a familiar figure emerged dragging her up by the hair."Nathaniel!" I screamed upon seeing him tears immediately filled my eyes.Several emotions filled me up as I continued to call out with him with a breaking voice. He looked straight at me as he shoved Aurora by the side, approaching me with speed."What have they done to you?" he asked with anger burning in his eyes," I reached out touching his bloody hands as I cried, my fingers trembling.He looked back at Aurora who was still trying to get back at her feet. He left my side and walked straight to her as he picked her up as if she was a piece of paper pointing a gun as he commanded her."Open thi
...As I stood behind Max, watching Florence talk, my world seemed to crumble before my eyes."But I did everything because I was in love," Florence cried, her voice filled with desperation. I was dumbfounded, unable to process the torrent of emotions that washed over me. My mind was in chaos, and a throbbing headache threatened to split my head in two.My knees grew weak, and I struggled to maintain my balance. "Max," I croaked, my voice barely a whisper as I reached out towards him. It felt like the whole ordeal was finally taking its toll on me, now that I had finally confronted the truth.The room spun around me, and I longed to escape. I just wanted to get out of there, to put distance between me and this painful revelation."Luna?" I heard my name, a distant voice breaking through the chaos in my mind. It was Max, trying to reach out to me, but I was already teetering on the edge of fainting.My vision blurred, and my strength waned. As the room seemed to tilt, I stumbled forwar
(Maximilian's POV)"You lied for what?" shocked and dumbfounded I asked her as she held onto my leg, her voice louder as she cried. I have never felt more rage before.The disgust, and the self-control to keep myself from just killing. "I think he passed out," Nathaniel said, checking the pulse on Sabastine."I loved you, we were good together," she cried as moved away from her, pulling her away from getting a hold of me.The face I look at does not ring a bell, the memory I have of her was not a fond one. I was friends with Sabastine but not that close to her, she was the sister of a friend.I have always known Sabastine, we went to the same school, we were coursemates for the most part, we didn't start out as best friends, we started as random students who happened to walk into each other all the time. When Seraphina left, it was sudden. She was a good friend and I wanted to believe I was with her then suddenly she was no more. I became worse, I stayed by myself.Sandstone was quit
(Luna's Pov)The sound of rain droplets woke me up, slowly I rose from the bed as I pushed myself to leave the bed, it's been Five days on the Sea. My worries have only managed to go up but my tantrums have gone down.It wouldn't be fair for Hervey, I keep asking for Max, it's complicated."He has things to clean up," Hervey would say shouting me up that I now know not to bring it up. I can't wait to leave this ship. The constant fear that it's almost impossible to fully trust Hervey.She has been nothing but dotting towards me but so was Sabastine at first. For the first time, I pushed my fear and pulled the glass door open taking a step outside.The cold floor sent a sharp and familiar sensation to my feet. I stood by the door looking at the verse sea as it rained. If only he was here. I couldn't even take a close look at his face as I wanted before I fainted."Luna," I heard my name as I turned to see Hervey carrying with her a changing cloth."Come here," she said approaching me.
