All Chapters of Shadows of Deception : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"That makes no sense Nadia." I said again. "Seeing you with Nik, he was pretty pissed." Nadia smirked and adjusted her hat to cover the sun ray."Wow, you sure know your big brother well." I mentally applauded her."He's only a year older, so don't make it a habit saying that. And no, I don't know him that well. But when it comes to women, I can read him like the back of my palm. It's really not that hard to tell that he 'Fancies' you Grey.""Well then. His way of telling me, That was not impressive.""Look at him now." She smiled, staring at him taking his turn in the game, "He's pissed.""Why would you say that? He seems fine to me." I arched my eyebrow."Look at the way he's holding the stick and how clenched his face seems to be.""Tighter than usual." I admit, "Or he could just be really focused on the game?""Fool," She groaned, "He hated croquet. Doesn't give a shit.""Ooh."" He's mad that you walked away from him." She laughed again.Honestly, this was the most I was ever

Daniel..?The person who walked past the exit of the hall had looked a lot like my brother. Standing to my feet, I panicked. Sinister was nowhere to be seen at the moment and my brother was in the building! I saw him after so many years! No, I wasn't loosing him. Not again. Rushing out the room, I entered an empty hallway and ran searching for him. It couldn't be my imagination. I knew he was here! I turned another corner where i suddenly saw him in a closing elevator pointing up to another man."Daniel!" I yelled but it was too late as the elevator shut.No. No- no- no- no!My heart was becoming so tight I thought I would actually drop dead right now. Rushing tii ok the staircase, I rushed up as fast as I could but again it was too late when I arrived as I saw the aged man in the elevator with him just step out. I steadied my breaths, noted another elevator at the side, quickly went inside and pushed the button. Thank God as there was only one more floor up or else I wouldn't even f

Taking a deep breath, I continued my shower. Wrapping the towel around me, I stepped out of the bathroom only to find Nadia sitting on the edge of the bed."There were the best I could find. Most of the boutiques were closed." She frowned and gave me pajamas shorts and a decent sized loose T-shirt along with other essentials stuff in the bag.Still, I was grateful to her."Thank you." I smiled.I hadn't expected it but she shot a subtle smile back at me, "Sin's in another room, he'll be done soon. Don't make him wait, he seemed angry."Quickly going back into the shower and getting dressed I came back and found him sitting on the sofa while Nadia looked out the window. "Good. You're here." Sinister stated looking at me as if nothing had happened between us.I took in his attire, it was different yet a nice look on him. His dark damp hair tousled perfectly, dark jeans, charcoal grey T-shirt and a black leather jacket. It was weird not seeing him in a suit yet it was refreshing seeing

I'd rather laugh than cry about it.He hadn't said anything. He never replied. Instead, his expression seemed to turn into a mild curiosity."What about your family?" He asked, suddenly catching me off-guard."What?""Your parents.""—Are good people. They weren't abusive, if that's why you asked." I defended."I never implied anything.""But you were getting there." I pointed and took a deep breath, "My dad is hardly ever around Sin. After my mother died, the only way he supported my siblings and I were financially."He frowned when I said that, "What happened to your mother?"I hated telling this story to anyone yet I tried to bury my agony and push through with the only decent conversation we were having. I made sure not to make eye contact with him."My mother was murdered," my voice broke, "Gang raped and murdered."I tried not to look at him, I really did yet I couldn't. His lips stapled in a thin straight line, hardened by his facial expression. He seemed to be lost in a memory

For some odd reason, I wanted to stand up. I had this sudden stupid urge to do it. Holding unto his shoulders, I carefully pushed my shoulders up.. He seemed to drive a little bit slower to steady me on the bike.This feeling was euphoric. I held my both hands out to the side as I let the cold morning breeze lick my face and I laughed. The wind gently tousled my hair nearly back as I closed my eyes and soaked in the ambiance of the empty highway. Never in my entire life have I felt like this before. It felt real. The moment felt raw. I knew I'd miss this feeling when the moment is over. I never wanted it to end. It didn't seem as dangerous when you're in the moment doing something like this. Who cares anyway, Life is short."You should probably sit down. I need to go faster." He stated.That didn't exactly ruin the moment. For the matter, i actually felt quite satisfied. Wrapping my arms back around him, I leaned on his back and smiled to myself.There was no one to tell me what to
