Clarisse walked through the pact unsure of what to do. She kept looking around the forest strolling with her gun in her right hand." I can't hunt here like this", she said to herself as she decided to enter the forest. Every other person has spared up and has entered the forest to hunt leaving her all by herself. She was bored and had no clue about what to do, but she went anyway.She kept looking around the forest, moving carefully so as not to attract any dangerous animals or trip and injure herself. " Are there even any animals here? It's so..uh?" she quickly hid behind the branch as she saw the deer. She smiled and said," I found one. But am I supposed to be hiding?".She carefully peeped and saw that the deer was busy eating, cluelessly of who was watching it.Clarisse carefully took her stance, making sure she didn't make any sound so as not to scare the animal away." Christian would be so proud of me", she thought to herself as she raised her gun and pointed it at the anima
Clarisse began to leap as soon as she was out of Alice's sight, she couldn't fake it anymore as it really hurts. She leaped back to the clear pack she once was, frowning her face with every step she took as the ankle really hurt.She could hear someone running and raised her head to see Christian running up to her. She stood straight, watching him run to her, her heart melting, and her eyes got teary when she noticed the expression on her face.I thought I had lost everything; I thought there was nothing left, even my dreams seemed like an unreachable cloud, but maybe I was wrong anyway; maybe it wasn't over yet.Her heart started beating so fast and all she needed was a hug from him.Christian got to where she was standing and stopped running; he was panting, and written all over his face were his worries." Where have you been? I've looked everywhere for you, but you weren't picking up your phone either", he said, almost yelling.Clarisse blinked her eyes." Oh. I didn't take my pho
Warning: This chapter contains some emotionally triggering scenes like violence and child abuse. 18+ only. (13 years ago)Antonio grunted as he walked out of his room to the living room where his mum and Anthony were. He sighed frustratedly on seeing his mother; she looked so skinny and pale; her lips were all bruised, and her face, her fingers were long and tiny, looking so worn off, and her messy hair packed in a bun shape. She was dressed in a flower-patterned blouse and a flare-long skirt." Mum, you should take some rest; there's nothing we can do; it's not our fault, there's no money; he was the reason why your business failed," Anthony said angrily.Antonio's stomach grumbled, but he was so angry that he ignored his hungry stomach." Mum!" he yelled, startling her." Stop shouting", Anthony shouted back at him," I'm not shouting, I'm just pissed, do you think people would believe it if we say you're our mother?", he began, " we are two handsome boys, we inherited this look fr
" Ow", Clarisse winced," Stay still".Clarisse clenched the tip of the pillow, trying to endure the pain, and Christian gently massaged the ankle. She looked at him as he took care of her; his furrowed brow looked so serious and carefree. Her heart was melting as she watched him try to make it less painful for her and apply lotion around it before placing it on the floor gently." Done, how do you feel?", he asked sitting up next to her," Hm, it's better now", she replied nodding her head," Can you walk with it?"," I should be able to "," Try".She stood up and took a few steps back and forth, nodding her head, "Woah! It's almost not paining me again "," Yeah, I can see that; you're no longer leaping like a frog."Clarisse paused with her shoulder dropped as she gave him a side look but he simply looked away," Just don't stress it, make sure it's no longer paining you"," Hm", she nodded and went back to sit." Mama," he called, looking over at her.The serious but sexy tone ca
"Okay.... let's eat", Sharon said, preparing to dig into the mouth-watering food when Christian grabbed Victor's wrist.His heart skipped, and he didn't say anything throughout the night, hoping not to jolt Christian's senses, but he was wrong; even his silence could not make Christian forget their deal." You ain't forgetting something, are you?" he asked, looking at him.Victor gulped down an empty lump, " what are you talking about?"," I hunted two animals today, how many were you able to kill?"," None", Ashley responded for him and started laughing.Christian let go of his hand and stood up quietly, he put one of his legs forward," You know what to do".Victor clenched his fist hard around the spoon in his hand; he couldn't believe he was facing such humiliation; his blood was boiling; someone as rich as he was going to clean some nonsensical man's shoe, no way." Hey, you can't be serious, did you take that seriously?... "," Hm", Christian nodded, " I took it seriously "," D
Gael noticed her shivering slightly." We should head inside, it's getting chilly", he said and she nodded," Yeah".She looked to the side to see if she'd catch a glimpse of Christian, but he was nowhere in sight, so she headed back into the building with Gael.Victor, who had been in hiding, stepped out of his hideout, looking so displeased, " why is nothing just working my way?" he fumed, " you escaped today doesn't mean you will the next time", he said before walking towards the house.Gael and Clarisse walked into the sitting room and met Ashley excitedly grabbing popcorn and drinks." What's with the night snacks?", Gael asked the moment they stepped in," The next episode of my favorite show is streaming tonight," she cooed as she grabbed the drinks. She managed to put them all in one arm and used her second hand to grab Clarisse." Come join me, it's so interesting." With that, she dragged Clarisse away before she could protest or say 'good night' to Gael.Ashley pulled her to
Clarisse lay down on the bed staring at the ceiling with her heart beating so fast and her cheeks flushed. She couldn't stop the images from popping up in her head. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when he turned around on the bed and now faced her; she could feel his gaze on her, and the images of the movies she watched with Ashley kept popping up in her head.She groaned inwardly, ' Ashley, what have you done?' she cried, blinking her eyes countless times, ' Nothing is going to happen, nothing is going to happen, just sleep, 'she kept reciting in her head.Christian stared at her widely opened eyes, " ain't you going to sleep?" he asked in a deep husky tone that sent shivers down her spine." I. I'm trying", she managed to utter and then there was silence. His gaze fell to her chest, and he regretted it immediately; it was hard, hard not to grab them and feel the texture with his palm.She looked at him just then, her blue ocean eyes casting a spell on him, looking at him so
" I dare you...to strip, leaving only your boxer on." Clarisse dared smirking evilly and waiting patiently to see shocked and embarrassing facial expressions; she was so ready to laugh.Christian rejoiced inwardly, even though the only he showed was a victorious smirk that was plastered on his face.'I knew it, the old Clarisse can't be so missing', He said in his mind and giggled.Clarisse was confused when she saw that smirk that made her wonder why he wasn't looking displeased. She shivered slightly seeing his eyes turned dark and mischievous. She watched him stand up gently and slowly unbutton his pajama shirt, dropping it to the floor and showcasing his broad chest, biceps, and packs. She gulped hard, her eyes glued to the most beautiful features a man could ever have.He looks so sexy, and hot, and perfect.But the moment he dropped his trousers, she couldn't bring herself to look anymore; she gasped softly as she looked away, realizing that the dare was a total mistake and she
