Chapter 22: HUGS AND SHADOWS
Last Updated:
2021-12-21 14:03:45I looked at Brixton, and a look of realization came to his face when our eyes met. The awkward atmosphere made me forget that I was crying, and we were in a public place.
“You guys are always having drama. You should just hook up and get together and maybe true love’s kiss would make all of that go away.”
I slapped Karl's arm and his daughter giggled at his father's whining.
"Brixton and I have no drama whatsoever, Karl. Besides, we're friends, and there is nothing going on between the two of us."
Me and Brixton nodded as our gazes met for a moment.
"Besides, Perry has been telling me about that true love's kiss thing multiple times. If th

I froze as I looked at the black shadow that was only an inch away from me. It didn't have any facial features, but I could feel and smell the hot sulfuric breath when it spoke."You betrayed me, my love, as if I couldn't see you."I froze in fear as the shadow's hands held both my arms in a tight grip. I felt like it was snowing as the temperature in the room dropped suddenly."If you were going to be a whore for another man, you should have told me, my love. I would have spoiled you like a queen and raped you like the whore you are."My whole body shook with fear, and my trembling continued as I tried to focus on calming myself. The shadow's arm rubbed my left had as his other arm held my right hand

I tried my best to apply my makeup and cover up the dark bags under my eyes. I wasn't able to sleep properly last night because of everything that happened. "Perry, I look like I'm a single mother to twenty kids. My hair won't cooperate, and I feel like my eyebags are still growing like a plant." "That is over exaggerating things, Shyne. You look like you haven't slept a wink for a week, but you don't look like a single mother at all. Just a mother that probably has three kids and a busy husband that has no time for her." I threw the pillow beside me to Perry as she dodged it and disappeared from my room. My life would be a little easier without her, but it would also be empty if she wasn't with me. "Shyne! There's a box here that was delivered this morning, and it says that it's for you!" Perry screamed from outside, and I went to check out the package. The brown box was only about a foot wide and half a foot in length. However, the way Perry

Angela approached Amy and the two had a stare down. Unfortunately, Amy was a lot shorter than Angela, so she just rolled her eyes in annoyance at her defeat. "Wow, Angela, I never expected the infamous rebel to be back in the city. I thought your daddy had you thrown into a boarding school on a remote island or something." Amy's sarcasm was thick, but I saw how Angela just smirked and walked towards me. "Hey, Shyne, I didn't know you were back. I guess we both chose the perfect time to come home." Angela ignored the annoyed Amy, and proceeded to hug my little sister. "Izzy! I can't believe that you've grown so much! I thought

I woke up with a splitting headache and I decided to stay in bed until the pain subsided. My eyes scanned my entire room, and I saw that it now looked like someone was living in it because of the little mess. The last time I was here, it was spotless and felt so empty. I looked at the scar on my wrist and remembered the night me and Izzy went to the ridge. The car accident that happened gave me the small cut as a scar. I regretted the incident that nearly ruined our lives. Flashback… "Shyne." I heard the eerie sound as if the person speaking was beside my ear. I tried to cover my ears to stop myself from hearing the creepy voice, but the sound began to go inside my head.

It was the day of my party, and everyone in the clan was invited. My mother and father bought me an island when I was born, and this was the first time that I was allowed to be on the island.I was sitting at the balcony of my own private villa, and it was at the highest part of the island. The window overlooked the entire island, and I saw the smaller villas where some of the main family members were staying."Hey, sis, what's with the long face? This is your big day, and everyone is excited for you to be officially introduced as the heir."I didn't look at Izzy who was getting ready behind me. The breeze was amazing, and the smell of fresh air made me close my eyes."Sis, you can't ignore me and pretend that I'm just the sound of the wind. You need to focus. Remember that our mother said everything should be perfect today. You can't zone out on me like that, you know. Mom is going to kill the both of us if something bad happens, and she will groun

“You are a disgrace to this family! A slut like you should never even be allowed to live! What in hell were you thinking while that boy thrusts inside you over and over again, huh?! Did you just enjoy it and forget about your future?!” My mom slapped me hard on my right cheek while I sat on my bed. I didn’t cry, I didn’t make any noise as I held my cheek with glossy eyes. “How could I have raised a slut! This is…This is impossible. NO! I don’t have a whore for a daughter!” My mother went to my study table and threw everything to the floor. My laptop, my pens and paper, my photo. She held the edge of the table and breathed heavily. I wiped a stray tear that fell from my eye as I saw my mother go crazy.

“Ouch! Hey, don’t be too rough, and be gentle!” I whined as Izzy pressed the ice on the back of my head. “I’ve angered mom in the past, but the worst she did was accidentally pulling two of my teeth when she slapped me hard on the mouth for talking back at her. I would have never guessed mom would slap you with a folder hard enough for you to fall on the bed and bang the back of your head on the floor. This bump feels like your head was intentionally hit on the floor.” I hissed at the pain and the cold that I felt from my head and the ice. “Shyne, I know that mom was infuriated with the contents of that folder, but I would have never believed you that she laid a finger on you if I’m not the one doing this. What happened with you and mom inside the room?”

“Shyne! What are you doing there?!” Earl pulled me out of the fountain as my face got closer to the water. It was a good thing that only the tip of my hair was wet.“Rose! Help me with Shyne!” I saw Rose, Earl’s sister who wore a blush pink dress the same as Izzy, came rushing over.“Shyne?” Rose said as she held me.“Rose, make sure Shyne is alright. I’ll call Alister or Izzy.” I pulled Earl’s hand before he could leave, and the two of them looked at me.“No. Don’t call them. Please. I’m just so distracted by the fountain that I thought I saw something in the water. I didn’t realize I was getting too close. No need to worry.”Rose and Earl looked like they didn’t believe me, so the entire night, Rose and Izzy were with me. Rose told Izzy, and later on, I told her about Alister a

I opened my eyes, and Brixton was beside me. I stared at Brixton while he looked up at the moon. The moon was so big, and the sky was like a blanket of stars. I loved this kind of view, and I smiled when I saw Brixton shifting his weight to reach for a grape near my hip. "Sly..." I whispered when he softly caressed my hip before pulling his hand back and eating his grape. He just chuckled. "Well, I try to not get caught, babe," he said and fed me the other grape that I gladly ate. We laughed and teased each other while we were sitting on the blanket at the bench in the middle of the night. It was our third anniversary as a couple, and it has been three years since I was finally released from the curse. "I can't believe that after all these years, you're still not allowed to go out with me without a chaperone," he wined when we heard laughter from the cottage in the distance. "You know my sister and my cousins are old maids who have no plan on getting hitched or getting into a rela

"Shyne!" I screamed when I saw that my younger teenage self was about to jump on the cliff."No!" I reached her, and I was able to pull her backwards, and we both fell tot he ground, "Stop it, Shyne! You don't want to do this!" I said with tears forming in my eyes as I sat on her stomach and grabbed her hands so I could pin it to her sides as I used both my legs to lock her legs in place."I'm tired!" She screamed, "I'm tired! I'm tired! I'm tired! I'm tired!" She screamed over and over again as loud as she could while her tears dropped like rain on the sides of her face.My heart began to hurt, and my tears fell on her cheeks as I looked down on her and gave more effort in holding her down with all my force and weight. I felt like there was an iron rod being plunged down my throat and through my heart. It was mortifying to think that this situation is happening, and it's even more unnerving since I know that this is a dream and yet it feels too real."Let go of me! Now!" She screamed
The Haunted's Kiss of Regret and Repentance Chapter 48: FIANCÉ'S VISITATION
"Shyne, this is not some sort of voodoo thing that you see in the movies. You don't just go and pray the same thing and then you get transported into another dimension or something," The pastors told me, "When we go deeper in prayer, you go deeper in your relationship with God. This won't work unless your sincerity and focus is on point. You need to surrender, and make sure that you are doing this for your desire to grow in faith and be free from your past mistakes." "I understand," I answered, and I gave all of them a smile.” After I had that weird vision last time, I was able to make peace with my past. But I know that it was also some sort of warning for me. I needed to get through this life, and my past was one of the distractions that could hinder me. I realized that though I made peace with Rian in my mind, I needed to make sure that I made peace with him in my spirit and make peace with myself as well." After the vision that I had last time, it was explained to me by the pasto
The Haunted's Kiss of Regret and Repentance Chapter 47: THE RELEASE
I opened my eyes and saw that I was at a crossroad again. However, the two dirt roads were very different. Both were roads that served as dirt bridges that led to two similar looking castles. Below was a drop to a dark abyss."Calm down, Shyne," I told myself as I took deep breaths multiple times.I tried to swallow the fear that I felt, and I tried to remind myself that this was all a dream or a vision, or something. Whatever it was, it wasn't real.The chill I felt was more intense than the ones I've felt before. The scenery I was seeing even felt more real than the previous ones I've seen in my nightmares. The left side of the road was wide and inviting, and the right was narrow and looked like it was impossible to cross."Ms. Shyne," I looked up, looked around, and no one was there. I looked behind me, and no one was there either. I looked back at the two roads, and I screamed.Two men stood on either entrance. They weren't there before, but I guess I shouldn't be too shocked. I tr

My phone has been ringing nonstop the entire morning, and with a very annoyed sigh, I decided to wake up from my sleep. I looked at my phone as another missed call was registered on my phone, and I saw that it was Brixton who was calling me. An unexplainable emotion began to claw at the back of my head, and I could feel tears swell up from my eyes. I checked my phone some more, and I saw that it was the fifth time that he called. I guess I was so tired from what happened yesterday that I failed to wake up from the first four rings. As the phone rang again for the sixth time, I took a deep and shaky breath to calm my nerves, and decided to take on the challenge and answered his call. "Hello?" I asked in a more stable voice. I silently smiled a bit at the shaky breath that Brixton took. He probably didn't think that I would actually decide to entertain his calls. "S-Shyne, uhh, hey, how are you?" He asked in an unsure tone, "I have a meeting a few blocks from your school. M-maybe you
The Haunted's Kiss of Regret and Repentance Chapter 45: HONESTLY
"Shyne!" I fell to the ground, and a heavy body was on top of me. I groaned in pain when my head hit the floor a bit hard. "Oh my God!" There were different voices around me, but my eyes were still closed. I knew the voices, but the hit on my head was a bit hard, and I still had tears in my eyes, so I just felt like closing them. The voices were still talking, and I felt someone pull me into a sitting position, and the heavy person on top of me pulled me into a tight hug. I felt the big arms wrap around my shoulder, and my face was pressed on his chest. I hugged him back and I let my tears fall. I cried silently as my tears soaked his shirt. "Shyne, shh..." the guy said, and he gave me one more squeeze before letting me go and holding my face as he wiped my tears. I looked at the guy, and it was James, one of my four best friends in Law School. I looked to my side and I realized that Kimmy, Joyce and Loki were looking at me with worried faces. "Hey," James said, and he slowly help

"So, you're going back to law school, and you won't even be going to tell mom or dad?" Alister asked as the three of us ate dinner.It was the first time in a while that me and my two siblings ate together without any one of us rushing to a meeting or school, or even bickering. We were just calmly eating and making small talk.I looked up at him, and I realized that he was indeed a grown up now. I nodded, and he just raised his eyebrows at me before shrugging and eating some more."You guys are boring," Izzy said as she took another bite of her fried chicken, "I was usually the boring one, but by the look on both your faces, I'd say I'm the most interesting one among the three of us." She said in a bored way.I smiled at her silliness. She was right. Me and Alister used to be the fun and active ones even when our parents were present. Izzy was always the one on the sidelines. However, I guess the family pressure and family business took over and we all just became sort of gray."Sis,"
The Haunted's Kiss of Regret and Repentance Chapter 43: DELIVERANCE
I blinked, and my dad was no longer there. However, I looked at the door as it broke down and fell to the ground while the furniture I used to block it was harshly pushed to the side. I realized that there were at least five people outside of my room, and the first one inside was my mother. "Shyne!" She ran to me and gave me a bone crushing hug and inspected me. She was saying something, but I couldn't hear or understand her. I felt like I was numb, and I was just sitting up and looking at her while she touched my face, looked at my arms, and I realized that she had tears falling from her eyes and rolling down her cheek. I looked to the side and I saw Perry and Izzy sitting beside me on either side a foot away. It was as if they were stopping themselves from crowding me since my mom was still talking. She was saying things that I didn't understand. I was so sleepy, and I felt like my body was getting weaker and weaker. Black. everything turned black, and I could hear worried screams
The Haunted's Kiss of Regret and Repentance Chapter 42: RIDDLE ME THIS
My tears fell as I rocked myself back and forth while my mother and father were fighting again outside of my room. I locked myself inside my room, and knocked down one of the shelves to make sure they would not be able to open the door. I closed my eyes as I recalled how much anger was in my dad's eyes. Before he reached me, my mom was able to tackle him to the ground, and in a split second after my mom's eyes and my eyes met, I dashed back to the house and ran quickly in my room. I opened my eyes when a familiar sticky scent engulfed my nostrils. I remembered that scent, and I didn't like what happened everytime that scent was around. It was Rian's scenet mixed with his own scent after we had sex in the past. It was sticky and sweet, and it was as if our bodies were mixed with his body spray. I suppressed my sudden urge to vomit at the thought of his presence appearing again. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I took deep breaths as the room became colder and colde
