All Chapters of The Intrigued Trilogy: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 52:Tatiana’s P.O.VTen days. I can’t believe it’s been ten days since we arrived at Hawaii and it has been pure bliss.We spend the mornings at the main hotel cafeteria where they served breakfast buffets before heading over to the beach to participate in various sports, fool around in the sea or just get a sun tan. Then we had lunch and sometime head over to Honolulu to shop or go sightseeing or just curl up in bed and have a nice nap. Evenings were accompanied with lazy walks on the beach and bonfires with other guests where we got to socialize with other people and make new friends. And then after dinner, my nights were spent in Damien’s arms, making love until we were too exhausted to move.Overall, I was getting the best out of this trip. We also found out that the resort manager was a friend of Daniel’s and they had been to college together, which was why Daniel had chosen this

Chapter 54:Tatiana’s P.O.VI saw him again today, by the beach, when we were playing water volleyball. He was standing by the line of trees right at the back of the beach. And then I blinked and he was gone. He was here again.Connor.Why was my mind playing such dirty tricks on me? I wanted to forget what happened between me and him. Two years of torture was more than enough. Then again...it hadn’t started two years ago. He had been a nice guy once, kind and compassionate. Or maybe I hadn’t been able to see behind his mask and he had always been evil. The marks he’d left behind will take time to fade away, even though there were no sign of them physically. I don’t think I could ever trust anyone the way I did him. And that’s why I agreed to this no-strings relationship with Damien.Damien...he’d seemed distracted the whole day. He shown up to the sports area eventually, b

Chapter 56:Tatiana’s P.O.VA couple days later, I was woken up from my peaceful slumber by a loud banging noise from my front door.Instantly, I unwound myself from Damien and jumped out of bed and was rushing towards the closet to get dressed. Damien was still fast asleep on my bed and it was too late to hide him or wake him up without making a mess. All I could do was pray that it was only room service and not my best friends.I walked over to the door cautiously and peeked through the key hole, but surprisingly, there was no one outside. So I opened the door a fraction and peeked out once again. Again, I found no one outside.Opening the door fully, I stepped out into the veranda and looked around. The sight of the clear blue ocean water was the first thing that greeted me. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and several people were already out and about roaming the beaches or taking a dip in the sea. Maybe it h

Chapter 58:Damien’s P.O.VI love you, Damien.NO!It can’t be! This is exactly what I had been trying to avoid, haven’t I? I had told Tia specifically that I couldn’t do feelings, that I couldn’t trust another woman with my heart after what Marian did! I even told her my story. Even my family, even Daniel didn’t know all the details but I’d told Tia...Why did I tell her all that? Especially when I had sworn off relationships for good. Maybe it really was my fault? Had I gotten involved without even wanting to? Had I given her the wrong message all along? But what had I done than any other man wouldn’t have?Was it the gifts I’d given her? But I’d given gifts to everyone, to Daniel and his new bride and even to Victor and his wife.*“Oh! Damien, these look wonderful!” Tia looked at me with her wide green eyes filled with

Chapter 60:Tatiana’s P.O.VI closed my eyes and rested my head against the seat, relieved that the dreadful flight was over and to be finally away from Damien.But my relief was short-lived as the cab came to a stop a couple feet away from the airport terminus and none other than Damien Romano climbed into the back seat with me.“The cab’s taken.” I told him curtly before I closed my eyes again, trying to avoid the sting of tears.“I just want to talk.” He told be before telling the cab his location and settling back into the seat.I stayed quiet and turned my head towards the window to avoid his gaze that was burning holes in me. There were a thousand things that came to my mind but I couldn’t transform them into words. What was I supposed to say? I’m sorry I fell in love with you? I’d rather cut my tongue first. I couldn’t-wouldn’t beg for
