Chapter 110: A gun from the shadows

ROSE He looked at me like I’ve got a point so my confidence shot up. I leaned forward, my face coming to an inch from his, and I said, ‘It’s brilliant, right?’ Then, I felt two large warm palms just above each of my knees. I looked down—. ‘Don’t.’ He breathed. ‘Don’t look away from me.’ Something in his voice tugged at me. I jerked up my face and his eyes held mine when he whispered, ‘We’ll do it. But with one condition.’ I could almost guess what it was. ‘You can’t be alone with Ambrose.’ He searched my face for a hint of betrayal. I’m sure he’d find none. How do I make him believe it without breaking the contract? And of all people—werewolves included—why Ambrose? Why didn’t he think that I might actually fall for him? Right. Because he doesn't want me to fall for him. This is so messed up. I sighed and began my impromptu explanation, ‘Whenever I’m alone with Ambrose—.’ ‘Fuck.’ He turned away. ‘I don’t want to hear it.’ I grabbed his face and pressed my forehea

Chapter 111: 'The state he was in... that kind appeals to the dark whims.'

ELENA The door to our bedroom opens and he strides through in his princely way. Despite being an elder now, he’s still the same werewolf he was when I first met him in the woods. The only difference is his smiles were gone. In their place, a frown of disapproval. He’s still angry with me—with me and Kris, to be exact—for letting Keithen go. ‘How did it go tonight?’ I ask, mustering the smile of sugar, spice and everything nice. ‘Did it work?’ He moves past me towards the bathroom, not a word. I know he’s ignoring me; he couldn’t bring himself to yell at me so he resorts to this manner of expression. Which I find ridiculous because he’s getting hurt in the process. ‘Ellis.’ I hurry closer. ‘Please. Are you not going to talk to me forever? Say something. Anything. I know you’re angry. Vent it on me; I deserve it—-.’ He spun around, those handsome eyes that were always soft when they looked at me are now cold and stern. ‘You know I love you more than you do….’ He moves forw

Chapter 112: 'You're back at the penthouse. I'm back at my apartment.'

RUM ‘You’re shitting me.’ I heard my voice in a low growl. These elders were not done testing my patience. I came here for the seventh near-death experience—and some enlightenment for them (it’s really not that hard to accept one’s stupidity)—and they continue to shit on me. ‘Now you want me to scour the human world for dark whims.’ Laughter exploded from me. ‘Oh Jesus….’ I looked away from my mother’s squint of puzzlement. ‘JESUS CHRIST!’ ‘Who’s that?’ My mother whispered to Elena, who signalled back that she would explain later. ‘It’s your duty—.’ As soon as Magnus began, Ellis flashed a palm to interject. ‘It’s our request.’ The Alpha of poise and irritation stepped forward with a pleading face. ‘To our beloved leader—.’ ‘Oh no….’ I shuffled back, shaking my head profusely. ‘You’re not guilt tripping me. Goddamn it!’ ‘Ah, so that’s what it’s called.’ Ellis tapped a finger to his chin in ponderment. To his mate’s hiss of reminder, he smiled politely and said, ‘I’m s

Chapter 113: 'Is there something wrong with Goldie Sparks?'

ROSE Tonight, V Club, the largest one in the U.R.T. It closed down for a long time and reopened under new management. Rumour has it that it was closed down because the old owner was caught for selling drugs at the establishment. Personally, after witnessing one of Rum’s parties, I’m not surprised to find drugs there. New management or not, drugs will be drugs. There’ll always be a demand for it. Sometimes, it’s better to escape from reality. ‘Good evening, Mr. Rum.’ A guy as huge as M.Biggy, with a serious face half-covered by shades and a grim line of mouth, stepped aside to show us an oak door. Jesus…this guy has private access to everything. Rum halted right in front of the bouncer, whispered something into his ear, and the latter gave a serious nod before slipping back in front of the door. A strong grip came around my wrist and I was yanked through the slit between doors. As soon as we entered the cool, silent hall, Rum seemed to know where we’re going and pulled me i

Chapter 114: 'It was all lust. Just... lust.'

AMBROSE ‘Ha!’ The shrieks of pleasure sparked the cold air of the dark bedroom. ‘Ha!... R-Rum!’ ‘Here?’ Ambrose thrust his hip with all the might of his grunt, and the female moaned a loud, high pitch. ‘Yes!’ Those slim fingers gripped harder the edge of the vanity table. In the mirror, her face strained with intense bliss and a greater desire for more. ‘More, Rum… more!’ Ambrose reached forward for that sharp chin and grabbed it to yank it up, so that those two beautiful globes of flesh and pink buds appeared in the same reflection as her reddened face. He shoved forward and growled, ‘V Club?’ ‘Mmph!’ Her eyes struggled to open. ‘R-Rum… please… don’t stop…’ Ambrose pinched the left peak of her breasts as he sucked the skin below her earlobe. Another piercing scream jabbed the air. ‘Tell me more….’ The female Goldie Sparks whimpered reluctantly. ‘Y-You mean… the model you said who saw us…at V Club…and told you? I don’t know who he is…please Rum…’ ‘Work harder, Miss Spa

Chapter 115: 'Use me. I'll give you what you need to get closer to Rum.'

ROSE Now, get lost. I stared at the marble tiles of the lobby of the B.A.D. building as the words kept looping in my head. Just like that, I’m fired again. Did I hear it wrong? Am I fired for real? But what did I do? Because I talked to Ambrose alone so Rum's upset? No. That can't be it. Rum said he would…do something else. He wouldn't fire me. He’d told me a million times to stay by his side. 'No money for a cab?' A cool snigger sounded from behind me. I knew who it was and I hesitated to turn back to face the person. But pride made me do it. And Goldie Sparks was standing in front of the glass door as it slid to shut the main entrance of the B.A.D building. She opened her purse and fished out a few pieces of purple bills—thousand dollar notes. That bitch. 'I don't need your money.' I turned back to the gate that guarded the building. 'So it's really not about the money.' A silky chuckle flowed out. Ignore her, Rose. If she was consumed—wait. The dark whims! Rum

Chapter 116: 'You're the one who wanted more.'

ROSE 'Who does she think she is?!' TAK! TAK! TAK! The enraged tap repeatedly thumped with jealousy. 'The sole heir of the diamond king, that's what she is,' replied the second voice in a bored tone. No doubt the first one belonged to my old bully, Christy; the other would have to be Lilian. Since I last saw them at Rum's mansion, I heard snippets about the styling team from some of the crew. Apparently, Tessa has fallen out with Christy—she's dating a model now, and has no time for Rum nonsense apparently—so Christy had been hanging out with Lilian more ever since. 'Still! Rum's not hers!' Christy slammed down hard on the tap; the water gushed out in a mad shower. 'Did you see her? Rum darling this, Rum darling that.' Lilian chuckled. 'You really sound like her. But don't be too loud. The walls have ears.' Indeed. I smiled weakly at the door of my stall. 'She kissed Rum on his cheek in front of everyone!' Christy berated. 'The gall of that woman!' 'Rum didn't look like

Chapter 117: Sorry, Moon Goddess....

ROSE‘I wanted to have a private word with her so we went to a private spot,’ Giles added with a nonchalant heave of his sharp shoulders. ‘I’ve inconvenienced you. My apologies, Miss Sparks.’ I stared at the heiress. Did she hear what I said before Giles interrupted? I’d wanted to lie that I was smoking pot, to cover up my meeting with Rum. ‘I-It’s alright.’ Goldie’s eyes lost their spark for a brief moment. Then, something popped in and she lit up with greed again. ‘So you two were alone then?’ I wasn’t sure what to say so I glanced at Giles for a clue, and he unfolded his arms and shrugged once more. ‘Yeah. We were.’ His gaze was on Goldie Sparks like a vulture. ‘I wanted to ask her about your style—I find the elegance rather suitable for my client.’ He turned to me with a sharp look and added, ‘So I wanted to ask for some sort of permit to use it. Didn’t I, Rosie?’ I couldn’t believe my ears: is Giles helping me? ‘Y-Yes.’ I mustered a sweet smile and then flashed it at my new

Chapter 118: 'He listens to you.'

ROSE A week went by in a flash. It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re immersed in work. No wonder they say that the cure for a broken heart is work, work, and work. Work was the same. Whether it was the head of the styling team, a superstar, or an heiress, they all had something in common—they get vile and nasty when their needs are met; they get more vile and nasty when their needs aren’t met. I didn’t think that focusing on myself would be hard. There were plenty of ups like yesterday… ‘Ooh… you’re right—these glittery FLEURs look amazing with grey. Who would’ve thought!’ Goldie turned and twisted her knees to admire the thousand dollar heels strapped around her beautiful pedicured feet. ‘You finally used your brains, Dirty Rosie.’ I couldn’t hide my smile. ‘Rum wouldn’t look away from you, Miss Sparks.’ ‘Indeed….’ Goldie licked her lips. ‘I hope we could do more, you know…I mean, the kissing is good—he’s such a good kisser—but… OOH! Maybe this is all part of a for

Chapter 119: A War Zone

ROSE No…. Those deep blue eyes kept staring, imploring me to open the window. To let him in. He could just break the glass and charge in. But he’s waiting. He’s waiting for me to make the choice. For us. Once again, I’m being forced to decide for us, as though he didn’t want to bear the consequences, as though he was afraid of them. I swallowed hard, clenching my hands into reluctant fists to muster the strength to send him away. If you don’t want this, Rum, then I don’t want it. ‘Go away,’ I said and heard my voice in a whisper. But he stayed where he was and since my eyes had adapted to the darkness, I could make out the shape of his wolf through the translucent curtains. Those piercing eyes were glowing in bright blue, begging me to open the window. ‘I said.’ My hands clenched tighter, driving my nails into my palms. ‘GO AWAY.’ A huge ball of emotion swarmed to my chest. I don’t want him to go. I want him in my arms. I want to be in his arms, to be drowned in his scen
