30 | Shattered Promises

Phoebe’s POVI stare listlessly at the beautiful scenery in front of me whilst sitting on the window frame that overlooks the beautiful view of the castle’s garden.“Then she left the shop. Can you believe the nerve of that woman?” I focus my attention back on the phone when my mum finishes telling tales about some awful customer she encountered today.One of the many things that I inherited from my mother was the lack of patience towards the fowl-mouthed people. We just never had any patience for them.“Forget it, mom. Who cares what she thinks? Besides, did you try out the new recipe you were telling me about?” I ask her and look down at the green blissful scenery again that was now shrouded with the darkness of the night.Another one of the things we both love is nothing other than cooking. My mother started her own bakery when she was just nineteen and almost got disowned by her filthy rich p

31 | Sharing Pain

*Warning - Contains triggering content regarding bullying*Phoebe’s POVI stare up at the starry sky, placing the palms of my hand flat against the thin concrete railing. The stunning visuals of the moonlight that was reflected against the surface of the lake almost reminding me of the painting inside Blaze’s study.I clutch Blaze's white shirt tighter around my body to protect it from the cool breeze of midnight. The stars twinkled and glowed bright and for a moment I wondered, how it would feel to lie down against the plush furry carpet that cocooned my feet in its warmth.The gentle breeze blew the strands of my messy hair away from my face with a faint smell of moss hinted at the promise of rain soon. Within a few seconds, the earthy smell gets replaced with the fresh smell of after wash that has been lately reeking off me due to a certain someone.I smile as soon as h

Phoebe’s POVAfter gaining a lot of courage, I turn my head and my eyes lock with brown orbs that screamed fury.“Ava…” I struggle to find words but my mouth gets clogged up with unfamiliar fear.“I can’t believe this Phoebe! How could you?! How could you not tell me?” She literally screams and for a moment my hands itch to muffle her screams with my hands.“For fuck’s sake Ava, stop screaming! You will wake people up with that tone” I implore her into understanding but she rises her hands to silence me.“I had enough Phoebe. For years I stayed by your side and always tried my best to understand you and yet you do this. I understand that maybe you wanted to keep it private from others but still, it hurts knowing that you hid this from me. I mean I tell you everything and yet you never open up to me. You did not tell me where you got

This is just so good” I exclaim with satisfaction as my taste buds bursts savor the delicious flavor of seasoned chicken and sweet chili assorted spice.The cook smiles at me with maternal love and I hear Blaze chuckling beside me discreetly with amusement as he swipes his fingers across his IPad’s display to read the news.We were sitting outside Irisfield’s outdoor dining lounge that’s situated right behind the palace which was now a sight to behold.Gone were the hideous brick walls and now it was replaced with shiny white cement exterior and don’t even get me started on the interior.The great ball was after two days and we all decided to enjoy the last day of work by having a lavish brunch outside the venue.The stunning view of the lakeside was mesmerizing beyond words and I speci

**Warning- Trigger alert**Phoebe’s POVI staggered down the narrow hallways with excruciating pain embracing my entire body. Not being able to take anymore, my body slumps down on the rough cold brick wall and my eyes voluntarily close from all the exhaustion.I wince as soon as my eyelids shut on their own accord and will myself to open my eyes. Even closing my eyes hurt because they were swollen due to all the crying. In fact, it was a miracle that I was still able to see.My head falls against the wall and I take one last shaky breath of stale air before continuing my route to freedom from this hell-hole.Speaking of hell, I looked down at my bruised bloodied body and I can say that I resembled a complete demon escaped from hell.Every inch of my physique ached with unbearable pain and blood still trickled down from my bruised damaged vessels.

35 | Hypnotic

Phoebe’s POV“You’re distracted” Ava states simply and I break out of my reverie to look at“What? No, I’m just...” I trail off not knowing what excuse to give and huff holding the golden retriever puppy closer to my chest. The furry creature whimpers and cuddles further into my embrace to seek warmth whilst I stroke his fur lovingly. I was more of a cat person than a dog but this puppy was beyond gorgeous and cute. The dog aka Tarynn belonged to Savita. Since Savita was busy using her break by spending her entire day in the spa, I stayed back and volunteered to take care of her dog.Tomorrow’s the grand ball and the whole staff was resting. It was pouring outside heavily and the sound of rain hitting the glass was a comfort to my distraught self.“I feel so disconnected from myself Ave,” I say honestly and look down to see the puppy asleep in my arms.Ava sighs and pokes

36 | The Ball

Phoebe’s POVI was applying highlighter on my cheek-bones when Ava burst inside my room with a grim expression on her face.I stop mid-way with the brush still in my hand and before I can ask her what’s wrong, she blurts out saying, “I slept with Andres”For a moment I thought I went deaf after hearing what she said. My eyes widen with a shock when I finally register her words and I stare at her dumbfounded.What the actual fuck?!“When…how?!” I wave my hand at her and she sighs like a child who had her first kiss. Except she wasn’t happy, she looked torn with her deeds.“I know I know it sounds so… I don’t even know what to name it. I was angry with Noah when I saw Camille exit his room last night when I was fetching water for myself. Andres also saw it, we were talking, then I kissed him, then we were making out and it felt so good t

37 | Bonus Chapter Pt.2

Blaze’s POVI was doing the buttons of my white dress shirt when I had the urge to check my iPhone for the nth time. It was so pathetic. No woman has ever managed to throw me off guard like Phoebe Carter. Then again I don’t blame her. I mean it’s not every day you see a half-dead man in a cellar.Nope not at allMy sweet beautiful Amore wasn’t supposed to see that and now I felt like punching Andres right in the face for being such a clumsy idiot.

38 | Last Night

Phoebe’s POV“What is with the men being so possessive after one night stands. I thought it only happened in those cliché novels” Ava mutters exasperatedly and I give her my questioning stare in return.“Why what happened?”“Did you not see what Andres did an hour ago at the auction dance? He literally bid two hundred thousand fucking dollars for a dance with me! Like what the fuck?”“You mean that dance over which both Andres and Noah were fighting over?” I wiggle my eyebrows suggestively and she flips me the bird.“Don’t even start with that” She rolls her eyes and resumes her gaze back at the dance floor where a few couples were dancing to James Bay’s ‘Us’.I was thankful for not being a participant in the dance auction because I had a slight feeling that no matter how big the pri

+EPILOGUE PT. 1+

Phoebe’s POVThe sunlight was streaming inside the room, almost blinding me with its rays even though my eyes were closed. I reluctantly open them and squint at the harsh glare of the sunshine and stretch my sore body on the bed like a feline. The corner of my lips tug into a Cheshire grin as I enjoy the softness of the Egyptian cotton sheets, however, my smile drops as soon as I spot the vacant place beside me.Did he leave?My brows scrunch into a frown as I place my hand on his side and find it slightly warm. He probably woke up a few minutes earlier than me. Before I let my thoughts run wild, I flop back down on the litter of silk brown pillows.The shrill ringing of my phone breaks me out of my reverie and wrapping the duvet around my body, I try to get up.As I said, I try.I cringe as soon as I stand. Pain shoots all over my lower abdomen and my back from last night’s exertions and my kne
