This… this was not she wanted but there was no other way. To be free of Kail, this was what she had to do.
Still on top of him, Silje writhed as he slid into her again and again. Her eyes started to become wet, but she didn’t stop. She couldn’t.
Slap, slap.
The wet sound of skin-to-skin contact filled the room. She couldn’t believe how deep he reached inside of her, and when the sticky warm fluid filled her, Silje gave in to the pleasure that enveloped her body.
At this moment, they were irrevocably connected to each other.
They were one.
To her shock, Kail groaned, and his sexy voice was enough to nudge her over to the dark side. Her body exploded.
“Ahh… Haahhh! Ah!”
She panted as Kail leaned against her, breathless. In the sudden silence, her eyes wavered.
Was she in heaven or hell? Did she lose her mind? Has she gone mad?
Silje couldn’t even tell if this was rea
After that day, Kail stopped contacting Silje.She felt relieved after the first two days. After the third day, she felt happy because she thought that perhaps he was gone.However, when a week passed by without hearing from him, Silje started to become worried. It didn’t feel right. A nagging feeling wouldn’t leave Silje, like she had something stuck in her throat.She frowned and wondered.Did something happen to him?Kail wasn’t the type that would disappear this easily without a word. Kail Bruntland wouldn’t go away this quietly from her life.That wasn’t the man Silje knew.So where did he go?She couldn’t believe that he was truly gone. This wasn’t his style. He had to be somewhere in New York.When she couldn’t take it anymore, Silje finally went to find him. She went to the last place she saw Kail.The penthouse in the hotel near the Upper East’s Frick
Under the beautiful chandelier and surrounded by stunning white roses, Silje was ushered to a table covered in a snow-white tablecloth. She was wearing her white-rose high heals again and she looked elegant.The gray-haired manager of the restaurant pulled the chair for her at the table that was reserved.Quiet classical music filled the place, creating a romantic atmosphere.The tablecloth was studded with white pearls and the silverware looked impossibly clean and shiny. Even a realistic person such as Silje couldn’t help but feel swept away by the dreamy atmosphere.Everything looked perfect.The dark-haired man sitting in front of her was gazing at her as he enjoyed his tea. Silje looked at him and gave him a small smile.She smiled sweetly like she used to when she was seventeen.It was too easy for her to pretend. If she could become free of him and the Bruntland family, Silje felt like she could do anything.The on
As he touched her intimately like he used to, Silje felt her heart race uncontrollably. She almost closed her eyes and suddenly, she realized that she really felt like she was seventeen again.Silje murmured, “Kail…”They walked together closely, talking and smiling. It was like they were really back in Oslo when they used to be in love. The only difference was that they were now in New York’s Central Park.Kail and Silje walked slowly and her arms were linked to his. They talked like they used to, and the laughs they shared were genuine. From time to time, Kail kissed her cheeks and caressed her hair sweetly.Silje couldn’t believe this was happening. This moment they had together…Silje glanced at him secretly often to make sure he was real. It felt like she was dreaming.“‘Smila’s Sense of Snow’ was great too. I will definitely check out the book you mentioned. Karin Fossum&rsq
Silje almost said yes and she didn’t know why.Was it the magic of the first snow?She felt drunk, but quickly, Silje realized that they weren’t in Oslo anymore. This wasn’t right.She pushed aside strands of stray hair behind her ear and replied quietly, “No… I think I should go now, Kail.”With her words, Silje could feel the magic breaking. Their fairytale was no more.Kail looked at her quietly. His face remained impassive as he said coldly, “We will go in like nothing happened. If you go in with me, then I will seriously consider it. Only then.”“Consider what?”“About what you want. About me returning to Oslo.”Kail looked at her penetratingly, making Silje feel dizzy. Snow was falling on her heart slowly, and Silje didn’t look away. In an assured voice, she replied, “If you can promise me that, then sure. Why not?”Silje did
The studio was bright with various lights.One, two, three.Every time the camera flashed, Silje moved skillfully. Her usual unemotional face was gone, and instead, a passionate model came out to pose.The photographer continued to click his camera as he exclaimed, “Good. Amazing! You are so gorgeous!”He seemed truly impressed.Silje was wearing a black silk dress with a deep V-neck. The dark color of the outfit looked shocking against her pale skin and matched her now shoulder-length black hair.Silje was also wearing transparent and white high heels and holding an elegant clutch that was studded with crystals. As she posed gracefully, she looked like a snow queen of New York.Silje won the campaign job for Christian Louboutin, which was a very competitive gig. In front of the camera, she showed off the best of her.To showcase the heels, Silje lifted her leg. The dress rode up, showing off her long sexy legs. She
Jung Yun seemed to be very surprised to see Silje and she accused Silje of stalking her. At first, Jung Yun refused to believe that this was a coincidence, but after Silje explained, she decided to believe her.Jung Yun and Silje looked awkwardly at each other, but Jung Yun’s mother looked very happy.“Wow! I did think you were very tall and gorgeous, and now it makes sense. You are a model just like my daughter. And not just any model, a famous one! Well, that means you have to come more often! As Jung Yun’s friend, I will be extra generous to you.”Friend?Until now, Jung Yun definitely didn’t show any indication that she wanted to become Silje’s friend. She was Silje’s walking teacher, a reluctant one, and nothing more.Yet suddenly, Jung Yun pulled up a chair across Silje and sat down at the same table. She called out to her mom and exclaimed, “Mom. I’m hungry! I want bibimbap please!”
“I’ve been busy with work… I did a photoshoot today, so I came here after I finished.”“Really? Well, it’s so nice to see you. I’ve been thinking about you lately. I went on models.com and I saw your face! You are the hottest Asian model out there.”Silje drank her cocktail and Greg looked at her proudly. He continued, “Did you know that you are the most successful model I know? Actually, you are the only one who became famous. There were so many models I knew that I thought would make it, but they all disappeared from the scene eventually. Including me.”He was smiling, but Greg couldn’t hide his deep bitterness. Silje looked at him, who looked gorgeous with beautiful brown hair, blue eyes, and lean body.Just how many models were there in New York that someone like Greg didn’t make it?Silje said to him slowly, “I was just lucky. Anything could’ve happened and I
It was the first time Silje told Greg something personal, and he didn’t say anything. Greg just listened quietly.“Christian is definitely an attractive man. Whenever I see him, I feel happy and comfortable. I smile more and he just makes me feel like something good is going to happen. But… even with all the positive feelings, I still feel empty deep inside. Isn’t that strange? Compared to Christian, that man… He is too rough and aggressive, but still… There is an odd understanding between us. Do you think it’s because we’ve seen the worst of each other? Do you think arguing and fighting make people closer? Do you think that makes sense? Our relationship… It’s very raw.”“So it sounds like you are saying you are in love with him. When did this feeling start?”Greg kept his hands busy with making drinks while listening to Silje attentively. He was an excellent bartender and one of t
Beep, beep.The street was busy with familiar yellow cabs and other cars. It was rush hour, and everyone was trying to get home while the restaurants and bars started to light up their neon signs.Beep, beep.The drivers honked in frustration, but Silje, who was on foot, was walking with a light heart. It was rush hour, but it didn’t mean anything to her.In an ivory trench coat, high heels, and a pink scarf, Silje looked like spring. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, she smiled happily as she hurriedly walked to her destination.It wasn’t that she was late, and she actually didn’t know where she would be going tonight. She was going to call him very soon to find out what he wanted to do.Waiting for the green light, she took a deep breath. The wind was still chilly, but it felt gentle, reminding her that the spring was finally coming to New York.“Could it really be almost spring already? It has been so cold this
Two years later at a TV studio for the show “One” Norway.“Hello, everyone. We are here today to interview the world-famous model Silje Kim. Oh, there she is, walking out. Do you see her? She has arrived right on time for her interview. The audience is turning around to get a glimpse of her. Yes, that’s right. Beautiful long black hair, calm black eyes, exotic features, and a gorgeous body. She was one of the top Asian models in New York until recently when she retired after getting married. She wrote an autobiography titled ‘The Swan’ which is receiving enormous attention from the public. In her book, Silje Kim talks about the terrible racism she experienced in her youth, going through an abortion as a teenager, and moving to New York to become a successful model. Her candidness has captured her audience’s attention and ‘The Swan’ is currently the number one bestseller in Norway. Her writing is considered to be excellent
Kail was in a coma for well over a week.After ten days of not waking up, the doctors didn’t seem to have much hope for him. Instead of becoming hysterical, Silje began to feel calmer as the uncertain time passed.She felt like she was ready to let him go now.With that thought, Silje visited the hospital again. Smelling the unpleasant disinfectant and walking into the VIP room, she stopped suddenly.“…”For some reason, there were more doctors and nurses inside the room than usual. Silje raised her eyebrows in confusion. Something felt different. These people weren’t here just for a routine round.One of the nurses noticed Silje and informed her, “The patient woke up a little while ago. You can visit him if you want, but only briefly.”Kail was awake.Just when she finally came to terms with his death, God sent her an unexpected gift. Walking slowly to his bed, Silje looked at him cal
Silje took the shiny scissors to Kail’s wrist.“…”She cut his pale skin, making the shockingly red blood drip from it.Next, it was her turn. Silje did the same on her delicate wrist.She dripped her own blood into Kail’s wound, as if this act could make them one.“I can’t let you go yet, so this is what I am going to do. You are not allowed to leave me. I’m sure there will be plenty of people in the world who would be pleased to have you die, but I am not ready for you to leave yet.”Kail still wouldn’t move, and Silje looked down at him coldly.“You are not allowed to die without my permission, Kail. You made me the way I am now, so don’t even think about leaving me without my permission. I will never forgive you if you die on me like this. You always do whatever you want, causing me so much pain, but this time, I will not let you get what you want. You can&rs
Pale face covered in wounds.Tubes going into his mouth to hook him to a ventilator.Kail was barely breathing, but despite the desperate situation, he still looked like a beautiful deity underneath the blue moon.Silje stared at him. She looked calm on the outside, but she felt her heart breaking on the inside.The noises from the medical devices were disturbing, making her frown.“Are you happy now? You made me into this weak woman. You made me feel such strong emotions… Fine, I will admit it. Looking at you like this is killing me. You once told me that I drove you to madness. You are doing the same to me… You flew halfway across the world to chase me and you have caused me so much pain. Are you happy now? Answer me! Kail!”Silence.It felt like she was standing in a cold graveyard. Watching him looking helpless, Silje put her hand on her chest and said to him slowly, “You won. You have ruined me, so
This was the first time Christian told her his true feelings. Silje didn’t know what to say at first. She thought for a second before asking him slowly, “If you get to come with me to the hospital now, do you think it will make you feel better? Would it be enough to make you feel like you no longer owe me anything?”“Probably.”Christian nodded and continued, “This will be the last time. I will take you to the hospital. You look like you are in shock so I don’t think you will be able to get there on your own anyway in your current state.”He was right. Silje was pretending to be calm, but her legs were shaking. She looked up at him and replied quietly, “Alright. Then could you drive me to the hospital, Christian? I need to see him.”“Of course.”She had to see him.On the phone, Silje was told that Kail was in a terrible accident and he was dying.The man she hate
The phone rang in the middle of the night.The woman swore in annoyance as she took a sip of her whiskey. Putting down her cigarette, she picked up the phone with her perfectly manicured hand.“Hello?”Messy blond hair, clad in black slip wet with sweat.A naked man watched her as she answered the phone. Ingrid was with a young man in a hotel room when the phone rang. Breathlessly, she answered, “What? Seriously! You finally got rid of him! Perfect. Good job. I knew you could do it. It was worth the money. Good. So now, you need to cross the border to go to Mexico and then take the boat to the Caribbean island like we planned. I will take care of the costs, so don’t worry. Make sure to destroy your cellphone as well. Rolf can never find out about this. Gosh!!! Finally! Finally, the day has come!”Ingrid laughed hysterically at the news. She took another sip of her whiskey as if to celebrate.The blond young man
When she came out wrapped in a white towel, Tasha was talking to her boyfriend on the phone. Anna was away in Saint Petersburg doing a photoshoot for Russian Vogue, so the dorm was quieter than usual.A siren was heard from outside but Silje was used to it by now. Drying her hair with the towel, Silje looked out the window with a bitter expression.She was used to this life now. When she first came to New York, she felt lost in this giant city.However, she no longer felt lonely. She used to be completely alone, but now, she had friends, including Jung Yun. After work, Silje often chatted with her friends.Jung Yun, especially, became a close friend. Jung Yun, a fellow model and the daughter of Silje’s favorite Korean restaurant owner, often gave Silje helpful advice regarding modeling.And of course, Silje sometimes talked to Niels and Tran in Oslo. She also contacted Irina from time to time. These were people who were happy for Silje’
After returning home from dinner with Christian, Silje changed into more comfortable clothes. She still lived in the agency dorm with the other models. Since she didn’t live alone, it wasn’t perfectly private, but Silje still felt like she belonged here.“Hello, Silje.”Tasha greeted her. She was a model from Eastern Europe with a long ponytail. She was wearing a yoga shirt and black hot pants. They lived with another model named Anna who was from Russia. The three got along well and they often went for meals together. Their favorite place was in Chinatown.Silje also had a wide network of acquaintances. She was often invited to parties where she was able to enjoy good jazz music and wine. Silje liked these parties sometimes, but she still couldn’t get used to them like many other New York models.What mattered the most to her was her work, but still, Silje recently opened up her heart and worked on her social life as well.
