“ It’s successful,” I mouthed as soon as I turned around to Major. Sullivan. His mouth is half close and his gripping the bedsheets while looking at my reflection to the vanity mirror of the hotel room that we plan to stay at. His eyes cannot focus and he’s shifting from my reflection and to my face, trying to understand what I am saying.
“ Are you listening?!” I asked him because he seems to be too engrossed in something. He turns his head to the other side before he sighs heavily. I can hear him muttering incoherent words and my brows crease because of what he’s doing.
I walk closer and touch his shoulder. “ Are you okay?” I asked, genuinely worried. After our fight in the car, we decided to take the same flight. We never spoke about what happened and that’s convenient for the both of us. However, there is a tightening of security measures that’s why I booked one luxury room for the both of us. We are
The event was successful but this year I didn’t enjoy the whole show. Major. Sullivan booked a ticket leaving the country and leaving me behind. He didn’t bother to show his face and say a personal goodbye but he just leaves me a message that he already booked a flight and that he already informed the President of his immediate decision.Sulking, I cross his room and stare at his door. It’s been three days and he didn’t show his face again. Three days but he’s still nowhere to be found. My mind twirls because of the things that bother me especially his behavior that night. I have too many questions that only Major. Sullivan can answer but he wasn’t here to answer my queries.That night, it bothered me. It bothered me what he really meant by his sharp words and why does it feels like he’s going through something. The Major. Sullivan that I saw that night wasn’t him, I want to believe that. I know that it wasn
“So…”His eyes display an amusement whenever he will catch me looking at his face and memorizing his features. It feels like it's been too long since I last saw him and I really miss his face. Gently, I tapped his cheeks and it burned into a hot feeling when he carefully catch my hands and intertwined it with his.“ So?” he asked before softly guiding my hands and placing it in his sinful lips. It was breathtaking to see how the desire build up in the right corner of his eyes. How menacing it is to flinch at his simple touch and how beautiful it feels to just have him touch my skin, making it hotter than it ever was.“ I know what you’re thinking,” he laughed at me before pinching my nose. I definitely rolled my eyes in his old-like action before I lick my lips and tried my luck.“ So, where have you been?” I asked before settling my head into his shoulders, slightly tilting it so
“ What the hell were you thinking?!” he shouted angrily while his searching into the cabinet. I shouted and winced once again when I tried to stand up because I was too bothered by my position right now. “ Stay the fucking still Amara!” This is the first time, that I ever heard him call my name, the only difference is that he’s angry. Totally angry. “ It was your fault!” I shouted back because of the tremendous pain that I am feeling. I don’t know where we are right now but when the coffee spilled in my body, he didn’t hesitate to carry me into this place and right now, I am laying into this large bed with my upper body, naked and full display. “ Tss.” He only hissed at me before he walks closer in my direction. In his hand is a bottle cream of what I believe a burnt treatment. He eyes my upper body and I was too shy to admit that my nipple are too erect because it was the part that suffered the most when I spilled the coffee. “ They are too r
It was a refreshing morning and coincidentally, the sky looks brighter that it ever was. Major Sullivan or should I call Levi is still looking annoyed because of the messages that I have sent him yesterday evening. I kept on bringing the topic about him fucking me but he’s always getting away with it so I always ended up teasing him about it but yesterday evening was great. Oh no, we hadn’t fucked yet but I fucked myself with his fingers while he’s sleeping and I don’t want to hear the end of it. The only highlight is that he wakes in the middle of the night, in his own room with his own fingers, covered with slick creamy juices coming from me. “ Is there a problem, Amara?” smiling, I shook my head to the President and proceeded to try the gowns that are designed for tonight’s event. Father organizes a social event in our garden tonight and he invited almost all of the elite’s and top politics in the country so the house is very busy right now. “ You’re grinning,” my
“ You know…. I’ve been thinking about it-“ “ About what again Corporal Neo?!” Major. Sullivan at the teasing smile of Corporal Neo before he leans forward to his ears and whispers something. For a second, I thought that it was serious but Major. Sullivan only laughed and called him bluff before he ignores his remarks. After the social event in the garden, everything is back to the normal. Yes, we didn’t get caught that night and there are too many sweats that I wiped before we faced the furious president of the country. He asked where did I go but the clever Major. Sullivan took the glory and arrogantly said how he found me in the hallway which is a lie! A total lie because he’s the one who dragged and seduced me in the hallway. For the rest of the evening, I heard an earful to my father and the smirks on my bodyguard face didn’t leave for that night. He is having a fun time watching me get scolded when it’s totally his fault. “ What ar
“ Someone is pissed yesterday,” Corporal Neo said in a teasing voice while I am busy sipping on my cup of tea this morning. My brow raised because of what he said. Right, I sighed because Major. Sullivan is still pissed or jealous at me. Corporal Neo stops in front of me grinning which makes me scoff at him. “ He runs 10 laps during the night even though the night is chilly,” he added which makes me bewildered. Does that mean that he’s trying to shake the heat off by running?! Corporal Neo is quick to stand and quietly walk away when we saw how Major. Sullivan enters the kitchen room. I am quite nervous too so without thinking, I grab my coffee and walk to the nearest stool. What we did weirded Major. Sullivan because of his reaction. “ What are you two doing?” he hissed before he snakes his hand on my waist which makes me cough. Immediately, I tapped his hands away from my waist because Corporal Neo and Kleo is now sporting a shocked reaction at his bold mov
For the past few days, there is a silent war going between us. Nope, it wasn’t between me or my father but between my bodyguards. Corporal Neo and Kleo seems to get all of the wrong idea and they didn’t want to have any conversations with me. They avoided my attempts of communication and my heart is swelling because of that.“ Do you think they are angry with me?” carefully, I lifted Major. Sullivan’s hand that is resting in my thighs. We are relaxing in my room because the president is not in the house for a provincial conference. He looks at the television for a second before he shake his head and deny my thoughts.With one move, he dragged me closer to his body for a tight hug. “ Don’t mind them, they will soon understand,” he added but I was too worried for the sake of our relationship. Recently, I know that I am falling and I am falling hard that everything about these things scares me.
It was sticky and uncomfortable. I didn’t know how did I manage to even have my dinner with the prime minister after what happened inside the restroom. Luckily, he didn’t suspect anything but the man who made me uncomfortable is back at throwing dagger stares in our direction. He’s not even hiding his glares but he boldly look at us with his rage. “ It was such a nice evening.” The prime minister commented after we arrived at the front gate waiting for his car. A force smile flashes to my lips to acknowledge his words but the truth is that I want to run in my room and change my clothes especially my soaked underwear. My feet steps backward when he leans forward and attempted to kiss my cheeks. He laughed at my reaction but it didn’t stop him from kissing my lips instead. Because of shock, I can’t instantly react and push him. “ Good night Amara,” he softly said, caressing my cheeks and hopping to his black sedan car. He looked at me one more time before the car
Grey perky clouds cover the vicinity of the place. They say that grief comes in many forms. It comes with agony and sadness for those who did nothing but to love. It comes with happiness and joy for those who gave resentfulness until the last breath.However, above all of those that was mentioned, nothing can beat the true meaning of grief. For those who spend their life living with that person and for those who shares every bit of their life with that person, griefs come with pain.The pain of losing someone and knowing that there is no choice left but to accept the cruelness of being left alone.I kneeled and sighs as I tried to wipe the dirt out of his name. The cold stone where his honorable name was engraved stood right infront of me. I’ve brought flowers and even this time, I don’t know if he will be happy with the type of flowers that I have chosen.Funny how even his favorite one is such a puzzle for me. I guess, I took my time rebelli
“ No…. no!” I screams as I turned around and found them both lying on the floor.There are bloods. Lots of blood colors over Major Sullivan’s clothing. Everything for me stops the moment that I choked on my own breath and run to him.“ Amara!” I heard my father said behind me, trying to stop me from going to the man that I love but how can I? How can I not run when I literally saw blood on his clothes and know that he’s been shot.Terrors and fears fills my body when I saw him shutting his eyes.“ No!” I shouted. My hands touch his face, shaking my head as my body trembles with terror.No. No.“ Y-You can’t leave…me…again,” I whispered and just like a star appearing on the middle of the night where only darkness dominates the whole place, I saw Major Sullivan opens his eyes.I heard him sigh. “ I won’t baby,” he whispered. I was st
“You’re going to pay for this!” Major Sullivan shouted as he tried to resists on the knots that are binding us right now.We are on the couch, our whole body is tied with some thick ropes as Ares and Maricriz appeared in front of us, their guns are pointing just right on our heads.I can feel the tip touching my skin and the coldness from it only made me shiver and drown into being terrified. I know that in just one click, the bullet will surely pierce through our heads.My body is shaking from the fear and from everything. I am still lost because of the too much information that I’ve absorbed earlier and now, I am being tied on the couch whilst a gun is pointed at my head.Tears are streaming down my face. I was trying to calm myself but I just can’t simply do that. I was choking from too much nervousness.Maricriz stopped in my direction, the tip of her gun is pointing just beneath my jaw forcing me to
Whilst I don’t know what to expect as I was ushered out of the car. Major Sullivan is holding me like I’m a fragile object that will shatter at the moment that he will drop his hands.Maricriz is beside us. Or beside him, and judging by her reactions, I think she’s curious or entertained right now. I can’t figure out why she’s alive and why she’s here.There is no way that she accidentally turns out on our wedding day and drops all of this like a bomb, waiting to explode.The journey to the house felt like forever. Major Sullivan kept on touching my hands and reminding me of his presence. I’ve never been to this part of the country where the next house is located miles away from this one.I don’t know how they pulled this out or how they escaped me out of Ares’s den.As soon as the door opened, I was expecting a little not so ambitious style of the house. The outer exterior looks like it’s
“She’s awake.” My mind heard someone say or whisper right beneath my ears. I don’t know what to do because when I tried to move my body, all I can feel is the leather itch strap holding me back down into whatever I am tied to. I can feel a loud gush of the wind and it seems like I am inside of an enclosed space where there is only one cycle of a breathing pattern that is allowed to do. My back is aching from being tied down for so long. How long have I been out of this world? Then, it occurred to me. The nurse forces me to gulp some capsules after she injected me something. I fought my urge to be drowned back to the oblivion. No. The nurse is working for someone else making me panic. My body started to squirm out of the hold of the bound. I shouted but there is something in my mouth. It’s a piece of clothing preventing me from speaking. It tastes like fabric clothing. The only thing that I can do is to open my eyes. Sensing the danger, I am mu
My goal right now was to escape Ares. I don’t know how to start but I definitely needed to do something about my life right now. Before, I used to think that I possess a Masteral degree when it comes to escaping. I didn’t have any problem with running out of the presidential house as well as with the bodyguards. Considering that they are trained professionals, I partake pride in my works of escaping against their vision and running out of their sight.I am used to escaping. It’s always the plan when everything seems to be heavy in my life. I used to escape for fun but right now, it’s not for fun anymore. It’s a matter of life and death situation because escaping means that I will have the chance to get out of this hell.Inside of my heart, the emotions and commotion cannot be sustained with every ounce of braveness that I’m using to bridge the gap of wanting to survive and accepting my fate in this lifetime. What happened the o
Huddling inside of the room, Ares tried to get my attention as I helped myself with the television. This is the only entertainment that I can have to not make my sanity wash over the wind.The only entertainment that I was allowed in this prison. In this prison where I was forced to live, without knowing that I’m in the devil's den. The memory of the day of the accident drowns my thought away. It’s one of the things that is bothering me right now.Ares was there too. He insisted on driving the car for me as I was wrecked and stubborn, trying to chase Major Sullivan. His expression and the concern in his voice shook me within.I cannot accept it. None of it seems like a dream.A tear slid down my cheeks and I was abrupt on wiping it over. I cannot afford to be weak but being pregnant makes me sensitive and fragile. It makes me overthink things that I shouldn’t suppose to think of.Ares moves over causing our skin to touch with one
The room is silent. If only the gush of the wind can spare a moment from creating a whirlwind sound, the cricket outside can definitely be heard because of the silence. It’s been like this, it’s always been like this, and every time that I had a glimpse of what Ares and I had done in this lifetime, all I can feel is disgust.Major Sullivan messages stills appeared right into my mind. It’s like a permanent reminder that right now, I am in the lion’s den and he is dangerous. I should deem him as a dangerous predator pretending to be a protector.I should deem him as nothing but the enemy. That is what Major Sullivan wants. He wanted me to be careful and I don’t want to do anything that will put me into the danger zone.My baby. Our baby needed to be protected from Ares. I gulped as I survey his movement, watching his movement in caution.Ares looked down on me. He was trying to unbutton his coat, leaving him with only his white
For another day, I found myself resting inside of my room. The television is my only source on what is happening outside of this room. Ares told me that he will visit me today but he didn’t. I was only told that he was busy with his new duty. His new duty as the president of the country. I can still see his smile while swearing his oath on the national television. I know that he wants that position for a long time but I almost felt like he’s hiding something because of that smile.I tried to seek for my phone but the guard said that it wasn’t with me when I was brought here either. The only thing that I can do is to rest and to hope for my father to be in best shape.He wasn’t conscious yet and it’s been almost five days since the incident. The doctor told me that it is normal and maybe he’s taking his time to rest but it didn’t sit well with me. If he was just shot on the shoulder, he should be awake right now, right? However,
