I tilted my head to glance at Rodrigo, his face was still stone cold and impassive, I suddenly began to feel nervous."Why are you so nervous sunshine?" He suddenly asked with a playful smirk on his lips."What? I'm not nervous at all."Rodrigo laughed and flicked my forehead playfully remarking. "Liar."He swung open the car door and got down. I began to slightly feel a bit relieved that he didn't seem to be in a bad mood. Rodrigo was the most important person in my life, no matter what I do in life, I wanted to make him happy, I wanted to get his support.Vincent was sitting in the living room, dressed casually when we were led in by a maid.His hazel eyes met mine across the room, as if he already knew I was here even before our presence was announced. There's been a strange connection between us lately. I can feel him, and it's evident he can feel me too.Perhaps this was the connection between two people who have given their
Vincent Darkness surrounded me as I strode into the warehouse that smelled of rusty metal and blood. The only audible sounds were those of my shoes clanking against the smooth floors. It had been long since my hands last tasted blood, long since someone died from my hands, but I was certain it wouldn't be as pleasurable for me as it used to be.Because now I have something that makes my mind spin, my heart race and my body surge on fire. Something priceless...A precious little woman, who has stolen my heart.It used to astonish me, and maybe it still does, how I'd fallen for her so hopelessly that now my eyes seem to see nothing else but her. The more time I spend with her, the more I wanted to spend even more time with her. I finally understand the fucked up arrangement called marriage and why people do it.With how rapidly my blood pounds in my ears with anticipation to see her again whenever she isn't near, I would give anything to keep her with me at all times. That blasted
Claire Days flew by like the passing wind. Though Rocco voiced his disapproval of me being with Vincent and his support for Natalia, he didn't stop me from taking care of Vincent. But it did make me resent Rocco, a little bit. Even if I felt he seemed to have a reason for suddenly choosing Natalia's side. On the evening of the sixth day after Vincent had been shot, I was laying my head on the side of his bed and slowly drifted to sleep. By the time I woke up, I suddenly felt a large hand stroking my head tenderly. I stiffened for a while before I suddenly jerked my head up to find hazel eyes smiling down at me. "Hey..." His voice was hoarse and thick. I jumped out of my seat hastily. "Vincent... you're really awake this time." He was sitting up in the hospital bed not looking at all like someone who'd been shot and almost lost his life. I couldn't help the rush of emotion as I flung myself into his arms. He chuckled deeply at my actions and all I could do was shed tears of re
ClaireNatalia's words had sounded like a bluff to my ears so I ignored her.I stayed by Vincent's side religiously. Rodrigo was exhausted from having donated blood, I had to take him home and explain to him what happened."Your boyfriend suddenly got shot on the road and you were there?" He suddenly exclaimed with a startled expression, "Sunshine, that was very dangerous. What if you had gotten shot, what would I have done if you...""Rod, nothing happened to me right? Besides the target was Vincent and not me." A deep frown settled on Rodrigo's face. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. Silence reigned in the car."Rod?" "A man who gets shot randomly on the streets must have many secrets and hidden enemies. He isn't safe for you." "How can you conclude that when you haven't even met him?""Sunshine..."I knew what he was going to say. In Rodrigo's eyes, anything that could cause me harm should be kept far away from me. He was going to voice his verdict of disapproval.Though I w
ClaireThe red lights in the ER flickered on and I crumbled to the floor in a weak heap.I could hear Vincent's guards conversing on the phone with a thick Italian tongue. Everything happened in a rapid blur around me, my heartbeat was unbearably loud in my ears, so loud that I began to form words with them.'This will kill him, he was shot in the heart.''Vincent is going to die!''Vincent is going to die!'Fear struck me like a lightning bolt and more tears streamed down my face. I rapidly shook my head against the unbearable words forming in my mind."No, he's not going to die. Nothing will happen to him. He's going to live and I'll stay by his side, I'll always stay by his side." The thought of losing him clenched my heart with an unbearable pain, I couldn't harbor that thought for longer than the few seconds it had surfaced in my head so I chose a mindless optimism.Wiping my tears I composed myself, stood on my feet and began to pace.The memory of blood pooled around Vincent g
Claire'...so when will you let me meet your brother?' I couldn't stop thinking about what Vincent said. I'd let those words pass after we were interrupted by the others, Vincent didn't ask about it again and I never brought it up because I didn't know what to tell him. Rodrigo wanted to meet him, only to confirm if he loved me and would take care of me, but what I didn't expect was that Vincent would want to meet him too and if they met, Rod would quickly figure out if Vincent has true feelings for me or not.And if he finds out Vincent doesn't love me, he wouldn't approve of me being with him.The next day when Lea and I met for lunch at a restaurant, my mind was lost in thought even as she kept talking."I can't believe that Sean. He kept convincing the guys through the group chat that your boyfriend seems to be hiding something. He thinks Vincent is some sort of drug dealer or something, he even kept telling them that he would expose whatever criminal records Vincent might have
ClaireI nervously waited at the side of the road in front of the Acer's gaming court in the city until I saw Vincent's black SUV driving into the parking lot. A bright smile split on my face and I ran towards his car just in time as he stepped down. "Hello Blue." My heart skipped a beat when he flashed me that dazzling smile as he stepped down. I felt the urge to run into his arms and bury myself in his hug but I held back the urge not knowing if it would make him uncomfortable."Hi." I greeted instead fiddling with my hands. "Actually I..."His finger suddenly stopped my mouth from saying more. "Before anything, don't you think a mere hi is too bland to greet your boyfriend?" I was more than happy to run into his arms and embrace him tightly. I wasn't expecting him to hug me back but he did, and I closed my eyes momentarily at the feel of his powerful arms around me. "Vincent, you know how to play games like bowling don't you?" "Hmm." He replied affirmatively with a hum, tigh
Claire"I... I'm sorry I missed all your calls and texts, I went to meet a friend, had too many drinks and I dozed off at her apartment." The lie came out effortlessly, I'd already practiced this excuse while in the cab. Rodrigo was a very astute person, he could easily detect lies in an instant if I so much as blinked while telling that lie.If I told him about Vincent, apart from the fact that he would certainly research about Vincent's background to find out if he was fit for me or not, he would automatically decide Vincent to be a bad influence. I was already an adult, I could do whatever I wanted, but Rodrigo has always acted like my father, he certainly seemed to forget that I'm all grown up now. He got up and approached me, circling me like a hawk."You passed out after having too much to drink, yet you don't have the faintest smell of alcohol on you." Shit! I should have grabbed a quick glass of whiskey from Vincent's bar area in the hotel suite if I knew Rodrigo would cat
ClaireThis was the sweetest sleep I'd had in days. I stirred awake with a smile on my lips. Strong arms around my waist pulled me deeper into his chest, his warm breath landing on the side of my face as I felt his lips drop a kiss on my cheek. "Be good, stop moving else I won't let you sleep again." I was about to respond when I felt the hard thing poking me from behind, I quickly realized what he meant and laid still, my body still felt sore from last night. I let myself enjoy the nice warmth of being in his arms with a smile on my face feeling his peaceful breathing. He'd fallen asleep so deeply as if it was the first time he was getting any sleep after weeks.I was about to close my eyes and join him, just the feeling of being in his arms felt so peaceful that I was on the verge of falling asleep again when I suddenly remembered something and my eyes snapped open.The sky outside was still dark, but far in the horizon a faint light purplish hue indicating the coming of sunrise
ClaireWhen this day started, it started with joy. It was my birthday, I'd expected laughter, celebration, not betrayal.I found myself standing inside my boyfriend's apartment, listening to pounding sounds and lewd moans from his bedroom. My bag fell to the floor and I staggered on my feet.'No, this isn't happening. It must be a silly nightmare.'Two days ago my boyfriend Nolan had gone on a business trip, he'd called me just this morning to wish me.'Happy birthday Baby, I'm sorry I can't come back for your birthday. The meetings have been hectic but I promise I'll make it up to you when I get back next week. Enjoy your day.'Those sweet words had been lingering in my mind throughout the entire day, how could they be lies?By coincidence I'd left the dress I'd had custom made for my birthday in his apartment the day I'd come to wear it to get his approval, he'd probably forgotten about it. He'd even praised me on how sexy I looked in the dress and had tried to get me in bed but I s...
