2024-10-29 19:42:56I climb down the stairs, wearing a black long dress, my hair straight and down. I keep my gaze on my father. though I want to smile. Dad smiles at me. He stands near the last step.
I smile, but it falters when I see Luce walking toward my father. He mutters something.
Dad leans in to hear him. He's taller than my father. With a nod of my head, dad walks toward the courtyard. I fasten my steps and look at him with a frown, "What have you told him?" I stare at him.
He smiles softly and roams his gaze on my dress. His hands shoved in his pockets, "It seems a ploy for attention," He accuses.
I blink in disbelief. I put my step on the last stair. I glare at him in his eyes. I push my emotions away, "What did you say?"

I could sleep. I keep on curving on my back most of the night. I close my eyes. But it also couldn't help. Exasperation! I sit up and drift my gaze around. The electric and fashionable lamps are spreading dim light in the room. This house also belongs to him. In my sorrow, I forget. Dad may need me. I have brought this upon me. I can't blame anyone. I pick his picture and run my thumb on it, "Will you forgive me?" I pause, looking down, "Try to. If you couldn't. I'm prepared for punishment." Tears pool in my eyes. Pure annoyance flashes on my face when I look at the ring, "Luce is handsome. So gorgeous. Um, every girl's dream. But he's not my dream. You're my dream." I smile looking down at his picture. I feel hurt, saying it aloud. I don't know. Why? I don't even kno

I peer at my father, seeping his words into my mind. "You should pack your luggage. Edward doesn't like to be late. Though he owns a private jet." My dad continues to beam on his every word. I roll my eyes. I'm happy to see him happy. I would be more glad if he talks about someone else. "I don't wanna go on a business trip with him," I say, controlling my resentment as dad is praising him nonstop. "Why?" He slowly says, looking at me. A little frown appears on his forehead. "Why do you look so shocked, Dad?" I ask, flashing a full smile, "You never forced me before," I sigh, joining my hands in my lap. "I will never force you, princess. You'll comprehend when I... " I cut him off. "Don't say it. You have already said a lot." I almost chided hi

I look around the Gulfstream G650ER business jet. This man is crazy. He has owned it. I have never travelled out of London in the last three years. There was only a tour with my friends in business class, never a private jet. Though I can afford it, I wanted to fit in with Louis's lifestyle. "A luxury business jet with all modern facilities," I mutter to myself. "My business clients are also joining me," He says. I arch my brows at him, "You already have a company to keep you busy." And I'm going to be bored. It's not as I'm hoping he will entertain me. "There must be a room," I asked him. He motions with his index finger at my back, "You can rest after take off." He says. I shrug my shoulders and

I swallow, looking at the king-size bed, covered with pearl white sheets. I feel him coming behind me, "I'm not sharing a room with you." I say, wandering my gaze around. My gaze halts on the painting of the castle and the lone angel with white wings is flying in the sky. "It's our room," He says, "We're still unmarried." He arches his brows, his expressions are guarded, "You're my wife." He looks back at the painting. My heart begins to race hearing his calm voice, "I won't be available. So our room is yours." "Thanks," I sat on the sofa and bent slightly to remove my snickers, "I'm tired." I look at him from under my lashes. "There are guards outside if you wanna go out, feeling hungry. Use the intercom." He says, pointing at the nightstand.&nbs

I blink my eyes several times as it begins to adjust in the dark. Another blink, I wasn't in the dark. The garden seems familiar to me. The confusion clears when I see some known places. It's the garden area of our high school. A smile appears as I feel excitement rushing through me. I start to walk toward a known path. I hear my own laugh, louder than my imagination. "Baby, you can't escape. I need my notebook back, " My heartbeat races as his merry voice pours in my ears. I stop, puzzled. My eyes begin to roam around finding only one particular face. My laughter echoes again. At that time, I felt a shiver running down my spine. I couldn't catch myself as I wasn't laughing.

I gawk at him as he keeps pacing back and forth in his office. I didn't know about his office until I followed him after breakfast. I don't want to argue if he will ask me the reason for standing out of the door. I dearly wish to go in but I need his permission. I jump as he towers over me and clears his throat. I gaze up at him, "Hi," I smile nervously. "Do you need anything?" He asks in a low and soft voice. "Yeah! Can I sit with you?" I clear my throat, "I won't disturb you." I mutter, lowering my chin. My heart begins to ripple in my ribcage. With bare feet, I'm never bothered but he's too tall. I'm terrified of being alone and he didn't need to know this. He's quiet for a long time, staring at me.

I drop my gaze and take a deep breath. I didn't ask when she would come. His Friend! She's not my problem. I walk into the hall. The dark is falling around. I hate to sleep and have another nightmare. I clasp my purse closer to my side. He must be out. I've picked a silver mini dress and my wavy hair is down. I begin to drift to the hall. I don't want to make the clink of my heels get any attention. A figure in a tight black dress catches my gaze. She's looking like a model in a deep v cut neckline of her dress. Her hair is dark, her dark dress is matching her smoky eyes. She is beautiful with a heart-shaped face. She looks as draped a moon in black cloth. "Where's he?" She asks, flashing her soft smile to him.

This headache is going to kill me. I thought when I opened my eyes. The curtains begin to part. I shield my eyes, extending my hand against the morning light of the sun. I stare at my arm. I'm wearing the same dress. I push myself in a sitting position. My eyes were big, when my gaze rested on the couch, "What are you doing here? You conceded to not share the room." "Not in a particular situation," He says, without lifting his head from his file. He is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt. Ok! Let's not talk about how he's looking so dashing. I scrunch up my nose, "What particular situation?" "You retched all night," He says, turning the page of his file. "Liar! I don't remember," I couldn't

I wanna erase the fondness in my heart that he's creating without my permission. I am scared to love again. I'm scared to lose again. "We are home," Uncle announces, smiling at me. I look out of the window. I smile, hoping to feel myself like before. When I can open and close my eyes without fear. Where I'm not frightened of taking another step.

The moonlight reflects the road as I stare out of the small window. I need to talk to my father. I'm not going to wait for the morning. I couldn't help but steal glances at my husband. He's sleeping and calm. He looks handsome while sleeping too. I had booked a cab from his number. Mentioning his wife. I'm waiting for the message. Yes! I'm taking his cell phone with me and leaving mine. In case, he needs to make a call. A smile tugs at my lips, he's going to hate me. I'm going to see his stern look. I let out a long breath and rolled my shoulders. His phone vibrated in my hand. I swipe and look at the awaited message. I grabbed his warm coat as I didn't bring anything with me. I head to the door. I glance back at him. These feelings! I thin my lips and open the door.

I clear my throat. Lisa is constantly looking at him. Lisa wants a party. So he offered dinner at our favourite restaurant. "He's da** da** s***!" Lisa mutters in my ear, leaning closer. I glance at him through the corners of my eyes, His angelic face is glowing under the light, his muscular body is draped in a white shirt. He's more than handsome. "Can you eat? So we could go home." I ask her. She looks at me and shrugs her shoulders. Her eyes halted at him, "Where are you staying, Luce?" I coughed as I heard her seductive voice. My big eyes turn to them. I kick her foot. Smirking at me, she shrugs her shoulders again. &nbs

I lay on the couch. It's noon. I have an entire day ahead of me. I haven't seen anything gruesome after leaving his house. I believe it's all related to his haunted house. I wanna go and confront my father. Lisa is right, I shouldn't do anything in anger and frustration. I close my eyes. Instead of dark, I find myself in Luce's room. I try to move, get up from the bed. My body feels like glue to bed. Dread grips me. I try to lift my hand. I feel helpless. Tears prickle in my eyes, but it feels dry to me. A figure walks toward me. I hold my breath though, I'm not able to do anything. It is only my eyes that can move. I focus my eyes on his face. My eyes would have bulged out if I could have moved. Louis walks

Her house is simple, clean and cozy. More than half of her house is turned into a store. I can see sketches from distances. It's beautiful. She has earned everything with hard work. I avoid looking at the mirror wall. My feelings regarding Luce are messed up. But I can't deny, I'm missing him being around me even though we don't talk much. "This is your room," Lisa told me, pushing open the door. I let out a long breath, giving attention to her. The room is big, a comfortable bed, a single couch, a television screen mounted over the wall in front of it, light blue curtains and bedsheets. It's simple but beautiful like her apartment. I embrace her. I want to cry. But I hold back my tears, but my sight turns blurry. She hugs

Twenty days! To our wedding! I'll get a lot of opportunities to get to know him. He could spend these days attending meetings and conferences etcetera etcetera. I do not know. I'll be back in London and he'll absorb himself in his business. So I'm not seeing him anymore. He's bound to the wedding, because of business. I'm bound to save my father and hundreds of workers' livelihood. The thought of leaving this place makes me feel uneasy. I shouldn't be. This house is haunted. I'm having nightmares with open eyes. I glance at the clock. It's dinner time. I lift my hand to rap on the door of his office. I pushed it to open when I saw it was already cracked open. My gaze rests on the mirror wall. I saw Luce's reflection. He isn't alone. I should come

I put the curler down and look at myself. The lack of sleep could be seen on my face, eyes looking lazy, skin pale. The dark circles are forming under my eyes. I move to the window. A fresh breeze blows over me, I close my eyes, sucking in a breath as I have never breathed before. The sun shines down on me. I can feel the heat over my skin. The air suddenly feels like it's disappearing. Making it difficult for me to breathe. I snap my eyes open. My eyes widened. I stumbled back and hit my arse hard on rough ground. The sky above me turns burning red. But there's no sign of smoke around me. Panicked! I look around to see if it exists. My breathing turns shallow as all I can see is only red. I couldn't ponder as dread made me paralyzed. It's beyond horror. My heart is pounding in my chest. I push myself up. My hands are cov

The warm air wipes my cheeks, making my hair wave. I smile, looking at the setting sun. The sky is a beautiful color of orange and red shade. "It's beautiful, baby." My heart leaps with happiness seeing him at my side. "Louis," I spin and cup his face, "I can touch you," I look into his deep blue eyes. I always find love in them for me. But it seems to me full of darkness today. My smile falters. "Of course!" He chuckles, cupping my hand over his cheek, "We're far from the past. It's a new world. My world," His voice changes, heavy and crude. I blinked looking at him with confusion, "I didn't understand." I say, pulling my hands away. He grasps my hand. His smirk turns evil and dark. His deep blue e

The night sky is clear and full of stars. The door cracks open. I don't look back and move away from the window. "My parents are coming tomorrow," He says, making me jump on my heels. I shoot my gaze at the door. Which was closed. Luce is standing behind me, "They were coming this weekend." I say. "Some changes in the plans," he says, shoving his hands in his pockets. I flinch and stare at him, "You just can't change your plans," I thin my lips. He looks at me. "You're pathetic." I snap when he doesn't say anything. "Your dress will arrive in the morning. We're going out for breakfast with them," He says, calmly.
