Vincent "Keira, will you tell me what the fuck is going on?" Everything seemed fishy, from how Keira kept pacing around the living room, to the pain that momentarily reflected in her eyes which she hid away thinking I wouldn't see but I certainly had. Keira had certainly met that man before, but what I had to know was where, how and what made them both react the way they had."Is this your first time meeting him?" She suddenly asked stopping her pacing movement."Yes. Now tell me what's going on."She dug her fingers into her long hair, pulling them back on her head before letting out a frustrated sigh. "Vincent that man is..."She suddenly trailed off as if waking up from a trance, as if she wasn't supposed to tell me whatever she had planned to say next."Keira." I moved towards her but she avoided me, as if fighting whatever vulnerability that would open up if I came any closer."All you need to know is this...that man, is not who he seems, he's so much more dangerous than he a
ClaireThe black SUV sat outside the steel gates of our house. I could already see Vincent through the rolled down windows smoking a thick cigar in his hand. I got into the passenger seat and a strange silence reigned after I'd said a subtle hey which he replied with a hum. I stared at his face through the rear view mirror, a small frown sat on his brows and it was evident he was worried about something.Reaching over I grabbed the cigar from his hand and he finally looked at me, a strange calm in his hazel eyes."Don't tell me you want to smoke, Blue?" His voice was deeper than I remembered, strangely making heat pool between my legs.When you've missed someone, sometimes you don't even realize it until you see them again, everything about them would begin to excite you. From their eyes, how their voice sounds, and how the buttons on their shirt are half opened then your eyes can't help but wander down their chest till you glimpse a bit of dark ink...Dark ink? I found myself notic
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
Vincent."You mad fucker! You can't get any information out of me!" I smirked watching the man I held captive. He was tied to a chair, missing several limbs from the interrogation, but he still didn't budge.I played with the gun in my hands, twirling it here and there."You're a stubborn one huh?" I stood up from my seat crossing over to the chair the captive was tied."I admire loyalty, it's the one thing I seek in all the people around me. So before I send you to hell, know that your loyalty has my infinite admiration."The man's eyes quivered, blood dripping from the side of his face into his mouth. I could hear his teeth chattering from cold, he'd been dunked in ice, burned, lost several fingers but he still refused to budge.I placed the tip of the gun to his forehead, chuckling at the stubbornness in his eyes before I lowered the gun to his chest at his heart, his eyes were still hard. I lowered it towards his stomach and he glared at me. "I'll have you know that I love eyes
Claire"He's cute." Jessy whispered eyeing the strange guy following me around."Girl go, it's not as if you're already going to open your legs for him. He asked for a drink, go chat with him and have fun." With their encouragement, I sighed in resignation and followed the guy to the bar."I'm Henry by the way. You?""Claire." I replied succinctly.He pulled out a bar stool for me and when I was seated, he sat right across from me. "My usual please." He said to the bartender then turned to me, "What would you like to have?""Red wine please." He smiled at me then turned to the bartender, "A glass of red wine.""So, why was a beautiful lady like you dancing on her own at a bar like this? You're too beautiful to be alone.""Is there anything wrong with a woman being alone?" I said ignoring his compliment."Of course there's nothing wrong with it, it only means that you're single, and lucky for a guy like me that a beauty like you is single."He said with a strange smile on his face,
Vincent The girl's eyes were the lightest blue I'd ever seen. It was like the color of the sky on a clear day. Those orbs shone with something hot, her skin was flaming as I touched her face like fire burning against my fingers.I felt my dick swell.Fuck! Since when did I get this easily aroused?Her fingers dug into her dress and I heard the sweetest moan exit her lips. It was already unusual that I'd decided to come save the damsel in distress about to be raped by a scumbag. The word save has always been foreign to me, I killed, destroyed and annihilated. But this little beauty had made me break one of my rules.Interesting.It was too bad, I didn't touch females without consent. And this one was under the influence of drugs.Staring at those bright blue eyes silently pleading with me for help, I felt something waver inside of me.Another anomaly, did I do pity or sympathy?Never, but this little thing with blue eyes was already making me feel hints of sympathy for her.Strange.
ClaireMy whole body felt sore when I tried to move. Feeling the softness beneath me, I realized I was laying on a bed.I slowly peeled my eyes open finding myself in a dark room, that looked like a hotel.Feeling a pounding headache, I massaged my temple."What the hell did I do last night?" I could remember Lea dragging me to the club, the girls insisting I get laid last night. I remembered meeting a guy who asked me a for a drink, and I was sitting with him at the bar. My memories became foggy from there.I sat in focus trying to remember when I caught a glimpse of my red panties thrown halfway across the room."Shit!" Jumping off the bed, I grabbed the panties and my bag from the floor. "Did I...did I have sex with someone last night?" I began pacing the room. "Who the hell did I sleep with and how come...?" Immediately this thought popped into my mind, the image of golden eyes with green flecks around the ring of the orbs flashed Into my mind. These eyes had been close, so c
Claire Monday morning, I strode into the company building of Glam, a reputable fashion house in all of California. I worked at the design department as a fashion assistant for three years now hoping for a promotion. I hesitated to enter the company knowing I would certainly see Nolan, he was the manager of HR in the company. Now I know why he always insisted we keep our relationship a secret from the rest of our colleagues. He claimed it would make everyone think he was favoring me since I was his girlfriend, even though I'd never received any special favors from him in the company, I didn't want people to judge our professional work by our personal relationship hence I agreed to it. Turns out he was hiding our relationship for another reason entirely, I was just the other woman. Grinding my teeth in determination I stepped into the company without any second thoughts deciding to ignore his existence even if I happened to meet him. "Claire, how did your weekend go? Saturday was

Vincent "Keira, will you tell me what the fuck is going on?"

ClaireThe car drove into the huge mansion driveway. 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
