Roman's POVA gust of cold wind blew and chilled my face. Coldness blanketed my skin as I placed the tip of the bottle to my lips and gulped a full mouth of the liquor. My fingers wrapped tighter around the glass as the taste left a burn when it passed my throat. I took another gulp before I leaned my back against the car and tilted my head back, breathing deeply as I eyed the sky.It was a clear, moonless night. It looked peaceful and at ease. It was silent. No voices and no one around except for the demons in my head whispering things I am not so sure I am capable of, drowning me in the chaos of their thoughts.I welcomed the darkness as my eyelids dropped down, air pushed in and out of my lungs, jagged and coarse. A growl rumbled at the base of my throat. I hated every fucking second of this day. My jaw clenched and my eyes glided open before I angrily threw the bottle away. It fell at a distance, glass shattered as it hit the ground. The crashing sound crawled into the inside of m

Chapter 41 - Self-Destruction Plan

Cara's POVI may have gone mad..crazy and insane.Maybe I am being unreasonable, or maybe I have just lost my mind.Because instead of pushing that button, here I am, talking with that exact man who ruined my life, the same one who broke me over and over again.Here I am, asking for his help.Some may not agree, but there are few things out there that hurt so much more than just a broken heart.Something physical.Intense.Real.An affliction with no antidote.Because no pain can come equally to what I felt at that moment, how it was all ripped away from me when I saw life ever so slowly leave his eye; nothing can take away the vision of him as he slipped away from me.It doesn't matter which way you slice it, look at it or analyze it. It'll always come up with the same sum... same fact, that he is dead.And the man who killed him is still out there. Still breathing, alive and planning more ruin.Alex's father must be punished.And I know Nikolas is the one to do it. He is the one rea

Chapter 42 - You can't break the broken

Alex's POVI hated.Everything and everyone.My vision clouded with anger, and my heart pounded harder as I made my way out of the hospital. The feeling flared like a sickness clawing at the inside of my stomach. My leg bounced with the nerves prodding my anxious feet. My hands shook with that old rage, the gnawing impulse that clipped my nerves, that need to get back inside and pull him the fuck away from her.I stopped, my steps halted and I just stood there. The mere thought of them together brought my sanity right to the edge. I fisted my hair in my hands, doing my best not to lose my shit, trying to keep from coming unglued here in the middle of the fucking day.Anger clenched my jaw, the emotion in an all-out war with the part of me that kept giving her reasons, the part that trusted her with all its being, that part that refused to believe in what they all say...that part didn't even want to acknowledge what my eyes just saw.But the image slammed me in quick succession - her w

Chapter 43 - Room 474

I officially quit wattpad..Cara's POV.Come to the car. I am leaving.With the phone held between my fingers and with my eyes focused on the bright screen, I read the few words his text message held. I sucked into a deep breath before I locked the phone and placed it in my pocket. I wiped whatever mess was left on my cheeks and tried to fix my hair before I got to my feet. I went to Katherine's room, forced a smile and told Ashton we're leaving."I'll be back in the morning," I added as I closed the door behind me.With heavy steps, I went out of the hospital down to the parking lot. Cold air pelted my skin, the night deep. Dull lights seeped across the lot. Spotting the car few miles away, my legs ever so slowly walked me closer to it. I stood at the passenger door and sucked in a breath. Fear constricted my chest, I didn't want us to fight more.I'll just try and keep silent for now.Exhaling a deep breath from my lungs, I finally unlatched the door and sat down in the seat. Silent

Chapter 45 - Water is thicker than blood

Alex's POVCold wind rushed and tangled in my hair, it hit my skin and chills raced through, going deep down till they reached that wild muscle beating at my chest, they engulfed it from all sides, wrapping it in a cold blanket, trying to clog the veins from pumping all that blood, trying to numb it from feeling everything so deep.Silently, I stood by the car's door, waiting for my breathing to even, waiting for that fog wrapping around my brain to fade away. I just needed it to stop because I can't make sense of all these feelings brimming at my chest, I just can't...I never was able to. I can't deal with this pain, because it's much more than anything I ever felt.It's intense.It's physical.I can feel every cell in my body resisting through it, trying to fight before it loses control and just collapses. I fisted my hand, doing my best not to lose my shit, trying to keep from coming unglued right here in the middle of the day.I let one feeling take over my senses, the only one th

Chapter 46 - A cornered soldier

Two weeks later...Alex's POV"Oh..look how cute he is," I said as my eyes fell on Chase, his eyes were closed and his head resting on Ashton's chest, peacefully sleeping.Cara turned to me and her eyebrows pulled together, "Ashton or Chase?"I shot her a glare to which she innocently shrugged as we made our way further inside the hospital's hall. Ashton's head was turned to the other side, his hand resting on the back of Chase's head, gently stroking it. At the sound of our footsteps, he turned his head and his eyes fell on us. They flicked back to Chase when he stirred in his arms.When we stopped right by their side, Chase's eyes slowly glided open and he looked up at us. He brought his small fist to his eye and rubbed at it, he sniffled and more tears gathered in his eyes. I immediately bent down and took him in my arms, he willingly came, his arms found their way around my neck and he rested the side of his head over my shoulder. I ran my hand through his hair and softly asked, "

Chapter 47 - I don't entirely hate you

Cara's POVMy heart skipped a beat or maybe two. It flattered rapidly as I grabbed his wrist in my hand, my fingers wrapped themselves so tight over his skin refusing to let go. My head cocked up in shock, my eyes wide; disbelief, fear, anger, and too many other mixed emotions clouding them.I jerked my head with a harsh shake. My teeth grinding against each other trying so hard to keep my fear from spurring forward. Raging brown eyes stared down at me and his lips pressed against each other before his throat bobbed and he swallowed hard, trying to shove it all back down as always.Steady air left his nose before he ever so calmly said, "Get out."I shook my head, my fingers only tightened over his wrist telling him that I am not going anywhere. The muscles of his jaw worked, he tried to pull his hand out of my grip but he couldn't. I have never held into something that hard; as if I am clinging onto the last thread of hope binding us together.He jerked his face away for two anguishe

Chapter 48 - The sun, the sea and the sky

Alex's POVIt was beautiful.The way the sun casted its golden rays upon the clouds, turning them bright red; fire red.Looking towards the horizon, I could vividly see the fiery red orb slowly dip into the ocean as though engulfed by it. Mesmerized, I watched as the leaving sun dyed the heavens a bright orange and turned the ocean a deep blood red.I sucked into a deep breath as I pulled my knees up and crossed my arms over them before i rested my head on the top. The side of my temple touched the skin of my arm while my eyes stayed focused on the scenery ahead of me.I liked this place. I liked this house. I liked it here. His absence allowed a different type of freedom to rush through my veins. His absence gave me peace..something i didn't realize i was craving this long.His absence — i closed my eyes and took in a fresh gulp of air — allowed me to finally breathe.A hand on my shoulder pulled me out of my trance. It startled me, for a moment, it even scared me. I shook that thoug

Chapter 49 - I am here to make a deal

Alex's POVLife is like an unwritten book, where you get to be the star of your own story, crafting it day by day.And like any other book, as you travel through the pages, it's the highs and lows that keep you - the reader - enthralled, making the tale worth telling.When you hear stories of such sort, they stick to your mind in a way. The bad moments, the troubles and the twists are the ones that get stored in the long-term memory. The happy moments make you smile as you read through but they never stick, for happiness is a quite emotion that doesn't make a fuss in its wake.The realization that flashed in her eyes at the name I just mentioned, confirmed my theory.He was a man with a story worth telling. A story she couldn't forget even after all these years."You remember him, don't you?" I asked.Her eyelids dropped for a second and air heaved from her chest before she nodded her head, "In my career, along the way, there are cases that you just can't forget. Nikolas is definitely

Chapter 50 - Dude, you're embarrassing me

Nikolas's POVI've never been afraid of 'monsters' per-say. I do believe they exist, I just don't think they are furry and live under the bed and in the closet.You see, I knew a monster once.I knew him so well that eventually, I turned into him.My monster didn't hide under the bed, no, he was everywhere. He was there when I woke up and there when I went to sleep. He took over my reality and if that wasn't enough, he also took over my dreams.I thought it was all gonna come rushing back like it always did when I get a mere glimpse of him. I even waited for it to happen, but it didn't. I waited for the fear to take over my senses and tighten my gut into knots, but it never did.I wasn't scared of him and that placed me beyond confusion.I mean, what changed since the last time I saw him?Is it the realization that I am just like him? I mean, let's face it, how can you be scared of something that's just a copy of you?The truth unraveled beneath my eyes as I realized that there stood
