XLI : enigma

I couldn't stop the shivers that rose up inside me after washing myself with icy cold water even though I had just eaten lunch and attended a small party in the middle of New York City's extreme winter.Something has to erase this memory. Today takes me back to a few years ago. That was the last day I saw someone else's blood splattered on my face. Hot water spilled from the faucet, tangling my hair against my face and shoulders. I imagined this was paint—red running down my body and swirling down the drain. If only guilt were so easy to shake off.I close my eyes.A scream. Cold barrel against my temples.One second, two seconds.BangMy eyes flew open.The shot is in my mind.I closed my eyes, swallowed heavily, and opened them to stare at the snow coming in the night. My breath seemed to be floating in my lungs, and I tried to balance it, using the breathing technique that everyone always does to calm myself down.There was a knock, and I stood from the edge of the bed to open it.

XLII

This morning I was neat in a black midi dress with long sleeves. It was Stefan De Sanctis' funeral, which, rather than grieving... a celebration would be more fitting.Not a single face was streaked with tears. His parents just showed up looking as relaxed as ever with funerals at the hands of their murderous family members or because Stefan de Sanctis was as annoying as Nicholas said he was until all that was seen was the faint pleasure on his family's faces.I sat beside Gallena, who looked even more beautiful and elegant. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail with a floral bow, adorable and a little quirky, a little thing that fits her personality. I leaned back in my chair, flanked by Gal and Elena, who had been solemnly observing the people in the church, saying absolutely nothing.Everyone here is very dangerous despite their respectful and polite looks, while my gaze fell on Pascha since this morning, he caught my attention because there was a punch mark on his jaw, and I al

XLIII : a bad reputation, insatiable habits

My eyes widened as blood streamed down my face when I saw who I didn't expect was in front of me. His hand had left my mouth, turning to cup my face with his hands.My heart raced with anticipation."What are you doing here?" his voice is low, and his blue eyes stare at me with intimidation that sends chills up my spine with terror.But I swallowed his influence that rising up inside of me. Block anything that makes me helpless. I can be hopeless about life, but I can't look afraid in anyone's eyes, especially him.Nicholas de Sanctis, someone who has become my death."None of your business." I kept my face away from his touch.He lets me go, but his face hardens, his eyes full of a mist I'm reluctant to know. I seriously bet that he really didn't like my response. After all, why would he be here? Why can he always be wherever I am? It didn't please me. I felt like my movements were always under his watch."I have to go. Reiner is waiting for me.""You will come with me."I didn't hav

XLIV

I've always done is to let whatever happens ... happens.I'm trying to steel myself even more and walk out of it when possible. Despair has been my friend for too long, and hope has been my worst enemy four years ago. But now I find myself hopeful. Cheap and ridiculous hopes for the future. I swallowing, confused at the feeling that stopped me in my tracks. A feeling that bloomed like hope and, at the same time, withered like despair.Somewhere between the ages of twenty and twenty-eight, I forgot what longing felt like."Are you okay?"And that something is dangerous, thing to watch out for is always written in my head like a skin tattoo that will permanently be imprinted there. That's why I buried it deep inside of me, not letting my guard down again after how I let go of the night with my sister's forbidden fiancé.While he already knew everything, I let him. And, for now, I don't know what else to think of to get my attention and my heartbeat away from him, so I take the path I be

I was at the end of the hall, pushed into a corner by some hideous predator, even though I was in a public place. The man in front of me is one of the reasons, Tristan Volkov.. who would have thought that the younger brother of the man I love was observing me with complete calculation.All the aura within him was completely like complete darkness, just like Nicholas, but he had nothing to hide. The danger that was in him, he reflected on everyone who was near him; it made anyone tremble with terror.The effect was different from what Nicholas had given me. I'm not afraid of Nicholas, even though he could destroy my life with his crushed hands. Even though I know full well that Nicholas is more dangerous. But the man in front of me, Tristan Volkov, is like a bomb that can go off at any moment it doesn't want, impulsive and messy.He's the second child, so I may have never heard Ivan talk about him. I've listened to from Tara that a member of their family was forbidden to speak about so

XLVI : blurring all the lines, you intoxicate me

Louis took me to enjoy the sunset on the banks of the Thames. It's fun.I am trying to remember when I started to be a sunset connoisseur. For me, the color of the violet sky when the dawn begins to disappear in the sky always gives a feeling of awe to nature. I often take the time to see the sunset on the way home from work or at home. Our mansion, located in an exclusive area of New York, offers a beautiful view through my bedroom window, and the Hudson River decoration is a plus point. In Moscow, where we are not close to the city but a pine tree forest with houses far away, the sunset there is also equal; it is decorated by the scenery of large trees, which makes everything even more beautiful. Well, the only thing that made me feel lucky was the view of the house, nothing else. But the Thames keeps a beautiful silhouette.This afternoon as the sky began to turn red, Louis and I hastened my steps along Tufton Street towards the banks of the Thames. Louis and I enjoyed snacks at T

XLVII

Whatever happens...happen.Lying on my side, I stared at the glass wall that showed the atmosphere of London in the morning while two hands tied my stomach from behind. It was skin to skin touch as we were both naked. I should have been getting ready to head back to New York today, but the man behind me wouldn't let me go. Never had the power to refuse, I followed what he said. Laying down for fifteen minutes after I woke up from my sleep staring at the London landscape being showered with snow. Feel how Nicholas' warm breath on my skin. Keeps me warm.I've never ended up like this with any guy. The only man in my past always never did this. Always touch me according to my permission, hug me only when I sleep and leave when I wake up. He never touched me over the edge and had very good respect for me.And now.... I'm sure he's going to be disappointed no matter where he is. Cursing me for not having self respect for myself that I could end up like this with my sister's fianc

XLVIII

Since then, I have not stopped squeezing my fingers. Anxiety came like a tsunami that hit my body on the beach.I couldn't find peace in the twelve-hour drive from London, England to Venetto, Italy. I don't know what he is doing or what will happen if one of his family sees me; I don't know how to face them. Should I pretend to be Gallena? But Nicholas didn't suggest that at all. His face remained relaxed and showed a cheerfulness I never expected to come from him.What's really going on in his head?I sit up, just got out of bed, and can only do it in two hours. That, too, must be helped by him; he hugged me like we were real lovers who go on a trip to introduce his girlfriend to his family. Pretty romantic, right? But we're not on that page at all. This forbidden story is always the dark side of the romantic story itself. Something that will never turn into something good.The open brown door distracted me from the clouds in the window. Nicholas entered, already wearing a long black

XLIX

The atmosphere that surrounded me was so different, I had never felt this kind of warmth, the joy that emanated even though there were only four of us sitting and eating lunch together.Laughter always comes out here, from how they tell about Nicholas' childhood with his brothers, Nicholas' mischief, and about the ridiculous moments that happened to their grandson. It warmed me and surprised me, I don't know what made Nicholas so different. What I see now was never shown to me before. He never laughs out loud, smiles and is mischievous when our family gathers, what he shows is only his dark side that is vicious and cruel. Watching like a wild animal. But now, everything is different. But the darkness that enveloped him was still there, only that it felt warm and comforting.I looked at him who was joking with his grandfather with my smile, and if I hadn't gotten to this point, I would still have thought that Nicholas was a cold-blooded man. The next thing I'm curious about is what did

L : and the touch of a hand lit the fuse

My smile was bitter while Nicholas' grandmother smiled at me gently. Warmth enveloped her eyes, and I couldn't even tell what was on her mind. I'm sure that she's really stuck with her own fantasy because I'm sure that she knows her granddaughter very well. Her hopes for her grandson were firm, while everyone was convinced that Nicholas absolutely couldn't end up with anyone. Well, maybe he could. But not in the way his grandmother would have liked. Nicholas' happiness was different from what his grandmother wanted. Nicholas was happy enough to take other people's lives and stand above them.I looked at Daniella. Everything about her said she was a romantic. Always hold on to hope in love; there will be good in a person, no matter if that person is the meanest. I can't judge or say it's stupid. Some people have different views than me, so I can't comment. I just nodded in response to her words."Nico.. he has a few things that sometimes make him a different person. Not warm and so col
