Listening to your parents arguing about you or because of you wasn't such a good thing. But knowing that you stood your ground and didn't back down outweigh any feeling of guilt.
The heavy weight on my shoulders had finally eased. A lot. I hadn't realized it was even there until I stood up for myself. As soon as I entered my room, everything just felt easier. lighter even.
There was no pressure anymore. Because finally, I wouldn't allow him or her to pressure me. Not now, not anymore, not ever.
I sighed and switched on the TV to drown out their yells that came from downstairs. They were loud and didn't seem to want to lower their loud tones anytime soon. I wasn't really interested in the show that was on, couldn't even focus but at least it drowned them out a little.
I should've felt guilty for starting the argument but I didn't. Was I a bad person for even admitting that?
Falling on my back I peeked at the TV between my feet

Arabella Rivera"Where are we going?" I asked for what felt like the fifth time, I don't know, it could've might as well been that much.Haiden doesn't take his eyes off on the road but a grin spreads across his face. "You've been asking that quite a lot baby. The answer will still remain the same. It's a surprise."I huffed folding my arms across my chest. "I hate surprises."Haiden only chuckles in amusement and doesn't respond. After a few minutes, he slows down a few blocks before a light blue food truck. "I'll be back." He said and sends me a cheeky smile before getting out of the truck.My eyes stay glued on his broad back as he stalks over to the food truck that seemed to be famous seeing how many people were lined up to order. But instead of joining the queue, Haiden walks past the line of waiting people and straight over to the backdoor.My brows furrowed in confusion as I lost sight of him.My phone pings and my attent

Arabella RiveraHaiden hops out of the truck. "Wait here." He said and closed the door. The back door opens moments later and I'm tempted to take a peek at what he was currently rummaging through.Pressing my lips together, I found my eyes drawing to the review mirror and saw him pull out the huge white comforter he always seem to have on the back seat. He pulls out of the truck fully and walks to the back of the truck.A few minutes later he comes back and takes out two pillows. I quickly tore my eyes away when his eyes lift. I heard him chuckle and bit down on my embarrassment from being caught staring."Such a nosey girl." The back door shuts and I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. My heart pumped in anticipation.Haiden suddenly opens the passenger's door and our eyes connected. Even though it was dark and the only light illuminating over us was the light of the moon, I could still his penetrating stare.He holds his

Arabella RiveraHe sighs eyes moving away from me. " I was a stupid kid back then. Am still now."I wait for him to continue, not exactly knowing how to respond to that anyway." I was always a stupid kid, never listened to my parents. Always creating havoc. I guess deep down all I wanted was my dad's attention. He worked a nine to five job. Never got enough time for me or my mo- Charlotte." He let out a jagged breath.I stay silent, not wanting to disturb him. He looked like he was deep in thought, staring at the sky as if it held all the answers. "I used to pick fights at school just so he'd look at me. I didn't care that he was scowling or that he was saying how disappointed he was in me for striking an innocent kid. I didn't care because for once he'd have his attention on me."Haiden's jaw ticked. "Then I got obsessed with it. The need for his attention was like a drug and there was no rehab, no cure. I got so frustrated when he started to

Arabella RiveraThree weeks have gone by and keeping Haiden's and I relationship was getting a little more difficult. Acting like we weren't on speaking terms to ward off any curious eye was like a punch to the gut. It hurt because all I wanted to do was run up to him and kiss him like my life depends on it."Your hair's growing." Haiden playfully taps one of my short plaits with his pencil. I had to tie an elastic at the end just so it wouldn't unravel. Plaiting short hair was a huge pain in the ass.We were in the library where we meet up occasionally so I could tutor him without my parents knowing. School ended an hour ago and we were all alone. While I was serious in teaching him, Haiden on the other hand, wasn't."I'm serious Haiden quit it we need to focus. Well, you need to focus." I grumble, pushing his hand away."You're so sexy when you get frustrated. " He whispers, and leans towards me until his hot breath brushed against my neck.

Arabella RiveraThe rain fell heavily, the pattering getting louder on the roof of the truck. Haiden snakes his hands up to my back then pulls me close until my breasts are crushed against his hard chest.He groans in approval, swirling his tongue around mine as he swallowed my moans. Pulling away slightly, he mutters on my lips. " I hope you know what you're asking for Bella."I don't answer him, just nibble on his lips and trail my hand between us until I touched the button of his jeans. He pants, hands leaving my back to fall on my ass again."What I'm asking for is for you to warm me with your dick." Pulling away from him, I pinned him with my heated gaze."Is that too much to ask?" A smirk crawls on my lips as I feel his restrained cock under me.His eyes darken considerably and the raw desire in his eyes made my core throb with need. I looked at him beneath my lashes and bit into my bottom lip. Haiden groans sighing out my name l

Arabella RiveraFirst, all I felt was fear of knowing how badly he'd twist the situation then as I stared at his disappointed face, anger coursed through me. "Were you watching me?" I snapped walking in further.Father's eyes turned even more furious. "You did not answer my question Arabella. Why were you dropped off by that kind of boy?" He roared, gripping my arm before I could walk past him. His grip is firm and almost painful.That kind of boy?Tipping my chin defiantly, I stared at him right in the eye and....said half the truth. "He just gave me a ride home. Stop overreacting." I tried tugging my arm out of his hold but he doesn't budge, only tightening it until it ached.My heart pounded as I realized I had angered him a lot. " Stop overreacting? So I should stay muted when I see my teenage daughter kissing the delinquent neighbor in his fucking truck!? The boy whose mouth is foul and he's hated by everyone?"I flinched by his harsh w

Haiden CrossI tried to fill my lungs with air as I fight to evade all Cristo's punches. He had not drawn a weapon yet, which led me to believe that he wanted to draw this out. Make me tired and wait for the right time to strike.I wasn't going to make him have that chance.His punches came in quick, missing my face by just a whisper. We had been fighting for more than ten minutes, I think. Wasn't sure. Couldn't exactly count the minutes when my mind was occupied with other things. One was seeing Bella as soon as possible, two to not get punched in the face.An opening.My fist collided with Cristo's jaw and the satisfying sound of my fist hitting bone curled through the air. Cristo stumbles back and spits out the blood mixed with his saliva on the ground.Shaking his head and grunting he turns his attention to me. Smirking nastily he snarls. "I'm done playing with you."The gleam of the blade suddenly in his grasp had my heart

*Two months after finding out she's pregnant* Arabella Rivera "Shit," Haiden groaned as he pressed into me and roughly slammed his lips on mine. He pushes me into the closed door, lifting my silk white dress. His palm burns my skin as his fingers inch closer to my bottom to hold. "Can't believe you're my wife now," He groans, detaching his lips from mine to skim them down my jawbone to my neck. I moan, arching my neck to give him more access. "Can't believe you're my husband," I whispered shuddering when he presses his bulge on my heated core. Only the material of his pants and my thin white lace panties blocked him from penetrating me. But the feel of him so hard against me was enough to have me quivering for more. We had only just come from the courthouse. I didn't want to wait any longer to marry him and he had the exact thoughts. It was his idea to just say fuck it and elope without a big wedding. I couldn'

Whatever she was planning, I only hoped that she wouldn't get hurt.I didn't want to witness her death too."I forgive you, John. For everything. We can make this work. You don't have to hurt anyone else. " She whispers nearing him.I held my breath looking around the room.I felt helpless and useless that I couldn't stop him.

Arabella Rivera"Get away from her John. They're just kids leave them out of this sick game you're trying to play." Mother begged beside me when father said those nasty words.He snaps his eyes to her. "This isn't a game Margie. I'm serious. We just need to get rid of that boy and we all can start fresh-""No."His cold furious eyes draw back to me. "What did you just say?"Mother's grip on my hand almost turns brutal. "I said no. You're not going to hurt him. I'm not going to let you hurt him." I lift my chin in defiance but I didn't feel powerful at the moment, especially when the barrel of the gun aims at me.He looks at me like I had grown another head. "You don't have a choice Arabella," He snaps lowly.When I don't waver under his glare or tip my chin down, father snarls. "You fucking ungrateful brat. I did everything for you! You're the one who led me to fucking kill those people. And just to pack up and leave you

The woman who was like a second mother to me, who basically raised me as her own. Was now dead.I looked at the man who had done the deed. I couldn't see him as anything other than a monster. And that he was. A cruel sinister monster. A fucking demon.Someone who doesn't have a heart. You'd have to be heartless to even hold a gun towards an innocent person.I choked on a sob, a cry, a silent scream. I didn't know what to do, or say. My heart thuds pain

Arabella Rivera"Margie-"No shut up and let me finish," Mother spat. I was tempted to go downstairs and face him as well but she did tell me to stay there. I had to trust that she could handle it."I did everything to be a better wife for you. I tried so fucking hard to make this work. Yet here we are today. Turns out my husband for years have been sleeping with an underage girl that I once considered as a daughter-Mother laughs dryly but I could hear the raw pain in her voice.

Her voice cracks and my heart squeezes painfully.She didn't deserve this."Margie she came on to me-"Great, a cliche line overused by many cheating husbands.

I wasn't sure how long I had been standing there, gaping at the girl who looked like a total stranger.It was like I wasn't myself anymore. But wasn't sure if this was the better version or not.It all took a couple of hours to have my life turn to nothing but ruins. My so-called perfect family wasn't so perfect anymore. Sweeping or gluing the pieces back together was impossible now. And the look on mother's face said exactly that.My phone starts to ring and successfully draws me away from the mirror.

Arabella Rivera"Please don't take too long in there Arabella," Gertrude whispered, looking down the hallway then flicking her eyes back to me."I'll just take a second, I'll be out before mother gets back here. " I promised while scanning my eyes over father's study.It was very neat for a man who didn't allow his maid in there. Everything was lined perfectly and one would think he had never touched the place.If I needed mother to believe that her husband was a cheating bastard and a drug lord, I needed proof. Not only for her, but the police. I just really hope I would get some evidence even if I didn't know what I was looking for specifically."I hope you know what you're doing Arabella," Gertrude sighs and closes the door. I hear the soft padding of her footsteps as she leaves me alone in my father's study.I pressed my lips together looking around the room. I didn't know where to start first. I didn't even know what I was looking for.

Arabella Rivera"I'm coming with you," Haiden breathes out as he catches up with me.I looked at him. "No, you can't. I'm going home Haiden, if he happens to be there and sees you then he'll be angry and I won't be able to do what I'm planning."I get that he was trying to protect me but I was so tired of people protecting me. He needed to make me fight this battle on my own. All this mess was my family.Haiden scowls. "Are you fucking kidding? Did you not hear what I said Bella, he's dangerous. He put a fucking bullet-I clenched my eyes, forcing out the image that crept into my mind. I didn't want to picture father doing what Haiden said he had done. It was very hard to."Shit sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt Bella." Haiden whispers, tugging my hand to make me stop.I sighed heavily, looking at him.
