But that was not the only thing that took me by surprise. Another thing that I recognized just now was the way his face was beaming at her. Was he making her jealous? Why is he so happy?Or was he just so good at acting and not showing her what he truly feels?“The popular girl that stole the heart of the most elusive bachelor,” her voice was sultry and confident and I am not sure if she was flirting with Vincent or not. I turned to face her and gave her the best smile I could come up with. She pulled me to her and gave me a kiss on both cheeks. She doesn’t only look good but also smells good. There was nothing about this woman that wasn’t likable. If I was a guy I would fall for her too.Someone came a
-Eve-Three elegant dresses lay on the bed before me. They were dresses sent by his friend. A friend who obviously has amazing taste. They are all made of different materials, and all of them have their own characteristics. I sigh as the pang of jealousy starts to grow bigger inside of me. I am not the jealous type, and I have never been jealous, even when I was with Stephen. I am not sure why. But when I found out about him and Stella, I was angry because I felt betrayed. But after everything that had happened, that betrayal made it easy for me to move on. I don’t even know what it feels like to envy someone who has something you wish you had. Never jealous of Brie’s social standing. Nor Vincent’s money. But ever since I realized I had feelings for Vincent, feelings like jealousy and envy have always shown themselves. And I hate that I have no right to even feel those feelings. Another heavy sigh escaped my lips as I took another look at the dresses in front of me. The blue dre
-Eve-I don’t know if it was because of the mood or if it was because we hadn’t seen each other for such a long time that we both gave in to what our bodies had been craving ever since we sat at the dining table. I know that Vincent told me everytime that he doesn’t make love, that he only fuck women for release. And yet, every time that he was inside of me, I felt otherwise. The care and attention he gives me sometimes make me feel greedy. It makes me want more. If there was a way for me to keep him, I would. I might even sell my soul to the devil if it meant that his grandmother would accept me. Accept us. I might seem to be brazen, but I am not. Trust me, I am not. But I already had a deal with a devil, and it turned out okay. Well, for now, at least. Because I know what I gave in return for this small piece of heaven I am experiencing.I just wish that when the time comes, my heart would be strong enough to mend all the broken pieces. “You broke your promise,” Vincent said a
-Eve-I woke up with a throbbing headache, in a place I didn't recognize, in a very big king-size bed, in the most elegant room I have ever seen. The wind blows the curtain in as the light from outside shows a reddish-orange-pink glow. Reddish-orange-pink glow…The color combination made me sit up in bed as I scanned the room I was in, looking for something to tell me that what I was thinking of was wrong. My eyes roamed the room, but I didn’t find what I was looking for.Instead, that’s when I realized that I was no longer in Brie’s mansion. I removed the covers from my body and recognized something else. I wasn’t wearing my clothes. The ones that I was wearing at that moment were too big to be mine. I begin to panic as I remember something that had happened last night. Unfortunately for me, all I have are fragments of it. I stood but immediately fell back on the bed as my throbbing headache felt like it was being hammered with several nails at the same time. I need to calm down
-Vincent-I thought I could never love a woman so much, but once again, Evelyn proved me wrong. I watched as the love of my life slept soundly on the air bed in the middle of my limousine as if she was not kidnapped like what she was accusing me earlier. A part of me already knew that this would happen, but I never thought I would like it as much as I did. Evelyn has always been this quiet girl filled with secrets. A woman who deserved to have anything and everything she wanted but always thought otherwise. She could have used me all she wanted because she literally had me wrapped around her fingers, but she never did.She didn’t have anyone but her grandmother. After Alyana told me about Evelyn telling them about us and the way she threatened me if I was to hurt Evelyn, I was more happy than angry after knowing that Evelyn broke our contract. A contract that no longer exists since the night she gave me everything she has. I was glad to hear that because, finally, someone had her
-Eve-“Make it stop!” I begged, but I am not sure if my voice was heard. Honestly, I don’t know if I was the one who spoke since it didn’t sound like my voice. All I can remember is the blaring sound of the alarm that sounded like the alarms the bank uses when someone tries to rob them. “Please,” I begged again. “Make it stop!” I am not sure if I was screaming, but it felt like that since my throat hurt. “It’s really hard to trust the three of you,” I heard someone say. I tried to open my eyes, but I was blinded by the light behind him. I grimaced once my eyes made contact with the shiny light behind him. “What would I do with you?’ I am not sure if he was asking me or if he was complaining. But whoever this guy is, I love his voice. “Are you my angel?” I asked, leaning towards the warmth that the voice brought exudes. I rubbed my face against his chest like a cat asking for some attention. “You smell good.” I don’t know what the hell I was saying because I don’t understand what t
-Eve-It’s been a while since I laughed this much. Despite the anxiety that was building inside of me, I am still glad to have had this time with my friends.“Maybe I should kidnap Emmet,” Brie slurred. “And make him do things I wanted then throw him away after I used him.” “You’re evil,” I replied, slurring myself. But despite the haze that we are all in. I know that we are not yet drunk enough not to know what the hell it was that we’re doing. If there was one thing that this drunken state does to us, it is to loosen our tongues and say things we couldn’t say when we are sober. “I am so envious of you now, my friend,” Brie admitted as she popped a chip in her mouth.My eyes grew big with her admission, not understanding how she can say that when she was a fucking princess. “I know I sounded like a selfish brat, which is I am right now. But the thought of you finding a man to love and who loves you back is something I don’t think I will have in this lifetime.”“We don’t need men,
-Vincent-After dropping Evelyn off, I went straight to the new house I had purchased for Evelyn. And I couldn’t be more happy to know that Tony was able to convince the King of Norrustra to do the same. The Royals Mansion is the most luxurious, safest place any person could buy a house from. Before anyone can buy a home here, an extensive background check has to be made. Not only that, but they also need to be part of their exclusive club called The Regal. For some, they have to pay to be part of the exclusive club. For others, it is offered for free, because the mere mention of one’s name as member is like free advertisement. What makes The Royal Mansuon different from the rest is that you can be a member of the exclusive club but not a homeowner because the background checks made for the homeowners are different. When Tony told me what had happened, and god how I wanted to punch Emmet’s face at that, I immediately did some research and found the place. Especially when Alyana st
-Eve-After hearing what Brie said, I can’t help but be angry. I know that it has nothing to do with me but it was still a dick move for Emmet. I don’t even know why he had to do that. I mean, it wasn’t like we were bothering them. Come to think of it. Emmet just tag along. Garrett was always planning things for us even though we didn’t ask him to. The only real connection we have with them is the connection that Vincent and I have. “I told you that those guys couldn’t be trusted.” Alyana's anger toward them has now tripled, and unlike before, I never tried to tell her to give them a chance.“Not all of them,” Brie replied softly. “I know that what Emmet did, but you see, the rest of them were kind to us.”I was always a very understanding person, always giving the benefit of the doubt. I thought I could never hate a person as much as I hated Stephen, but god, was I wrong. Because at that moment there was nothing I wanted to do more than to strangle Emmet. “They are all bad news,”
-Eve-I've always been a good girl, chasing decent grades, nurturing friendships, and doting on my boyfriend Stephen. But now, here I am, standing in the corner with all the grace of a polite spectator, watching Stephen marry Stella, my so-called best friend.I can still remember the exact things that he had said to me just a week ago."Baby, I need to go to New York to meet an important client. You know that I am doing all of this for our future right?" He kissed me goodbye with a warm smile."Yes, I do." He looked at Stella with a smile, the same smile he had given me a week ago.How can he easily forget what we shared?"I can’t believe that I have married a chef! Your food always tastes amazing. You're always working so hard. " He kissed my hands, my hands that I’m always embarrassed about because of their roughness because of all the part-time jobs I had over the years. But Stephen never minded it."I will always be loyal to you." Now, he kissed her hand.I just stood there, watch...
