Chapter 21

WilderI'm staring into the fireplace, haunted by images of Daria and the sound of her beautiful, girlish voice. In a short period, my body already craves her like she is heroin."Fuck..." I run a hand through my hair, annoyed because my thoughts automatically went to drugs. "What am I supposed to do?"Daria's smile enters my thoughts, and I'm forced to suck oxygen into my lungs not to pick up my phone and call her. My eyes were constantly on her inside of her apartment. I tried to pretend that I was invested in The Dragon Throne playing on the TV, but her scent had my mind going places in reality.It's so strange how I find her the most beautiful woman in the world. She is unique, but I've dated many better-looking women, yet no one has taken over my mind like Daria.I found her gorgeous even when she kept her hair in one of those sloppy ponytails while she sat in her bed. Her clothes were second-hand, and she hadn't showered. She had a faint scen

Chapter 22

DariaIt's a busy night at The Parlor. I'm not on the VIP floor but hanging out with Brooklyn by the bar. We are both on break, checking out the people happily gobbling up food."That guy is hot." Brooklyn let her tongue travel across her upper lip, and I giggle at the predatory gleam in her eye."He isn't my type." With a wrinkled nose, I give the blonde a once over and then lift my glass of water to my lips. "He seems like someone proper, wealthy, and successful and wouldn't be able to stand a rebellious personality such as mine."A sigh slips out through Brooklyn's lips. "Why didn't you tell Wilder the truth while you had the chance? The blonde guy is a ten, but you can't even see that because you have a certain actor on your mind.""I didn't tell him because he lashed out too quickly," My voice is earnest and tortured. Wilder's reaction wasn't one I expected. "To be honest, he scared me by raising his voice and glaring at me with so much fire a

Daria"Y-You're eating dinner together with Evelyn?"My blood has run ice cold, and my jaw is slacking. I'm pretty confident I'm gaping like a goldfish. Wilder watches me intently, making the situation even more awkward when a mischievous smile curls his lips.Wilder nods, much calmer than me. "We are going to talk about filming and other stuff related to our roles. It's hardly romantic." His eyes look me up and down, and his smile turns feral. I realize he must have noticed my bubbling envy—my stomach is behaving like a cauldron. "Are you by any chance jealous?"Evelyn comes over before I have time to reply. Before embracing Wilder in a hug, she hands me a glare like I'm an eyesore or a dirty spot on the walk she wants to get rid of quickly."Wilder!" Her laughter, smooth with positive flirtation, dances into my ears, and my insides flip. I'm burning up. "Long time no see! How have you been?""Excellent, thank you for asking," A small

Chapter 24

Killian Two years ago. I hope I'm on the right path. When I discovered the nuns had something called "spiritual direction" offered to those in need, my interest immediately perked up. I earlier read it is like sacramental confessions, but since I'm not a catholic, I concluded talking to a nun would suit me better. Because I need someone to talk with—a person who won't judge or hate me for the shitty person I've been for years. And so, I'm sitting in a booth, waiting for a nun to gift me with some spiritual guidance. I'm nervous—highly unlike me. I inhale deeply in an attempt to calm down. I'm sweating like a pig ready for slaughter. What if the nun tells me I can't change? That would break my spirit. After years of doing the wrong things, drinking and gambling, and spending too much money to provoke my parents, I want to turn for the better. With shaking hands, I stroke my sweaty palms against my jeans. My throat is sor

Chapter 25

Daria I'm dragging my feet up the stairs leading to my apartment door. My hair is a heavy mess, dirty and bouncing like a basketball. Wilder glared at me all night from the table he shared with Evelyn. But I don't think Wilder has the right to be angry over the fact that I kissed his handsome brother when he went out on a date together with another woman. Killian. He kissed me. Giant grasshoppers are swarming in my belly. My lips are tingling, sending an excited but nervous shiver over my skin. Those stormy blue eyes will be hard to forget, especially when the man looked haunted by a mysterious past, yet gentle at the same time. I take a deep breath, gripping the metal bar to drag my exhausted body up the last couple of stairs. The wind is hitting me in the face, sending a wave of cologne my way, and then I'm left staring at Killian, gazing up at the starlit sky. What. The. Hell. Why is he here? My eyes are prac

Chapter 26

Daria Killian soaks me up, blinking at me with thoughtful eyes. Moments pass, and then he cracks up, a sudden burst of laughter that warms his face and makes him look gentle and approachable. "Are you serious?" Killian asks with his teeth glinting through his lips. Amusement is all around. "You're not joking, right?" I don't have any words, so I listen to his laughter and feel the vibrations on the couch. Killian is massively entertained. I'm not sure what to make of his reaction and stay wary, with my eyes glued to the dimples on his face. "Did you seriously keep drugs under your bed?" Killian asks with a shaking smile from having to hold back his laughter. "I'm not joking." I peer straight into his eyes, nervous because I'm not sure if Killian's smile is terrible or good news. "Wilder kicked his toes into the bag with drugs, cursed under his breath, and stormed out of my apartment without giving me time to explain." "My brother has a

Chapter 27

Killian I drag a hand through my hair while preparing coffee, standing inside my kitchen wearing nothing more than sweatpants. I'm half-naked, and while I realize putting on a shirt would be proper, I love the way Daria ogles me whenever I flex the muscles in my chest. I'm painfully aware that she likes my way more successful brother Wilder, and I keep telling myself that I'm not bothered, but I'm already green with envy. Women like Daria don't come around very often. When I hit rock bottom two years ago, she was the voice that sent me in the right direction. Daria was my beacon in the night, and she is the sole reason I didn't commit suicide two years ago—I owe her everything. "Oh, can I have milk in my coffee?" Daria asks from the table. She is playing with the sugar spoon, building these small hills inside the old sugar holder. "Milk, huh?" I smile to myself, warm from simply glancing her way. The fact that Daria is sitting inside my kitche

Chapter 28

DariaMy workday is like a field day in hell. Wilder is still pissed at me for the kiss I shared with his brother, and when I came in this morning, he approached me with firm strides and said, "You do the dishes today."The dishwasher is broken, and now I'm on duty, standing in the kitchen's corner with a pink hat and green gloves. I'm washing plates that smell like fish and caviar while trying not to gag.I hate cleaning, but I guess this will keep my mind from drifting over to Wilder and Killian territory. I'm sure that I'm in love with Wilder, but I had this strange dream after that comment Killian made yesterday.In the dream, I had sex with Wilder in my bed. It was excellent and safe, and my hands were on his pecs, touching his muscles and squeezing his bulging biceps. Only when I lifted my chin to meet his eyes, they were stormy blue rather than golden, and the smirk on the face was too feral to belong to Wilder, and then I woke up.Fuck.

Chapter 29

Daria Exhaustion is making it tiring to even drag my beaten ass through the doors of The Parlor. I worked the early shift today, and the sun is still shining when the brisk wind hits my face. I unbutton my jacket, too sweaty to keep it closed, and spin around to the sound of a snort. Wilder is leaning against the restaurant wall, glaring up at the sky as if he doesn't want to face me. My eyes linger on him, and anger rushes through my veins like venom until I can't take it. My lips part, and out comes the pent-up frustration I've been carrying for days. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I call over to him with my arms planted under my chest. I'm much shorter than Wilder, but I'm not afraid of facing him straight on. "Wilder!" There isn't a reply. I sigh. "Why do you keep treating me like shit? The entire day you've been behind my back, yelling and handing out a hundred orders at once. You weren't as hard with anyone else and kept me on d

Chapter 30

Daria Looking into Wilder's eyes is like watching a lion turn into a lamb. A man ready to fight for his cause is suddenly broken, overwhelmed by the words I told him. Those golden eyes are glued on mine, and for the first time, I don't think the big, successful man has something to say because he isn't used to things not going according to plan. "Why didn't you tell me..." His voice is a hurt whisper, and I suck in a deep breath, press my back further into the wall. I had expected a hug or a kiss, not words. And fuck, why did Wilder have to cut me with words? Talking about this is hard and painful—this isn't what I need right now. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Here it comes, the panic anxiety. "Because I didn't want you to pity me." Wilder stares at me, and I sigh, rolling my eyes before explaining. My chest is on fire, and frustration is running loose within me. "Look, you're the rich boy with a silver spoon in your hand, and I didn't want you to
