A Deadly Game.

Fiona's POVI woke up in his arms, my body bare against his. He looked peaceful as he slept, so peaceful that an angel would grovel at his sight.Tiredly, I walked into the messy bathroom, cleaning up the surroundings. My head felt lighter as I buried my body in the filled-up tub, praying everything would work out at the nursing home I was visiting today.The buzz of Alexander's phone rang loudly as I walked out, with a towel wrapped around my chest. Curiously, I sat on the dressing table stool, watching through the mirror as Alexander picked up the call."I'll be home tonight. Please don't call again." He hung up, throwing the phone on the bed. "You're awake," he said to me."Yeah, it seems I'll be getting fired from work today, thanks to you," I said, picking up a hair dryer and using it on my hair."Let me help with that," he said, slipping on trousers and taking the dryer from me, slowly fixing my hair."Can you deal with the consequences of your actions? Your father must be furio

Alexander's POV"Did you get his location?""You were right—he isn't dead—but I couldn't. Nevertheless...""Yes?""I inquired with a woman who had cared for him that day, and she informed me that a bartender had traded the cup he had used for his drink.""And the bartender?""I'm on my way to his house downtown."I said, "Find him," and hung up before entering the living room. To my astonishment, Dad was sitting there reading a newspaper and grinning as I went in, but Anna was acting serious. "Good day, Dad."He cleared his throat, "Come on, have a sit," "I know what you want to say, and I promise not to hurt Fiona. I recall that before I met your mother, I too had feelings for a commoner, but love eventually fades, and you understand that everything in life is prearranged for the privileged.""Yes," Anna said with a glaring smirk, "and then I came after your mom, Tasha."I angrily screamed, "Don't call my mother's name with your filthy mouth."With a slight cough, Dad lifted his voice

In The Eye Of The Storm.

Fiona's POVThe sky turned gray, and a fierce breeze brought about a thick fog. I stood still for a moment, shaking heavily as the fire blared in my face. My mind drifted to the door of the house. As I moved further, trying to overcome the fog, I was close to the knob, but a voice kept calling me. When I turned, it was the nurse."What are you doing?" She touched my shoulder gently.I snapped out of my hallucination, looking into the sky as the drizzles fell."Let's go in," the nurse said, taking me by the arm as we walked back into the building.I released my arm, watching the body get carried away into the van. My eyes caught on the nurse I had hit a few minutes ago. She walked swiftly past me. Without a second thought, I grabbed her arm. "Who is this nurse?" I asked Steve's nurse."I don't know. What's your name, please?"The lady kept quiet, staring at the ground."Who are you?" I pulled her close, struggling to look at her face. She landed a blow on my stomach, releasing my grip

Fiona's POVI banged on the door again, channeling all my fury, but there was no reply. I checked my phone to confirm the address. I was in the right place. This was Ethan Gray's house.My hands didn't hesitate to hit the door again, and fortunately, the door pushed open. He stood there, looking as cold as ever."Come in," he said, closing the door behind me as I walked in."Mister," I sobbed, throwing myself on him. "Look at your beard now," I fondled with it."All white," he smiled, leading me into the well-furnished living room.My eyes were fixated on him, the man who had saved my life eighteen years ago. The one who had sacrificed so much for me, till this moment."Snap out of your thoughts," he snapped his fingers over my eyes, handing me a cup of coffee he must have fetched from the kitchen across the room."Why are you here this early? Take the cap off now," he pulled it off, seizing my face in his palms, "you've grown into a beautiful lady, Fiona.""You can call me Gabriella.

At a Crossroads.

Alexander's POV I wasn't the perfect man, nor was I imperfect. No matter how much I tried to suppress this growing feeling, she somehow always found her way back into my life."Do you want to spend the night?" I managed to mumble."I...I...""You don't have to if you don't want to," I sighed deeply. "But I would love it if you did. I promise, no sex, just you and me, talking."She chuckled, revealing a peaceful side I hadn't seen before. "Talking is boring.""Well, I don't want you just as a sex partner.""So what are we?""We'll figure that out," I said, leading her into my room, which was more or less an art gallery."But this is your parents' house," she whispered. "I might as well get killed.""This is my side of the house, trust me," I said, turning to a black rose drawing. "All these were drawn by my late mother. She hoped I'd find love someday."She moved closer, examining the drawing. "A black rose symbolizes tragic love...""But," I cut in, "it also symbolizes a love that ne

Fiona's POV The phone blared. An unusual caller: Tim. I picked up immediately, grabbing a cup of coffee, while Isabella sat close, chewing a bunch of grapes."What a surprise, Tim," I said, taken aback."You need to get down here. Mr. Brooks was admitted. Mrs. Patricia is furious."Fear gripped me as I hung up and rushed out of the house. I could hear Isabella calling for me to wait, but I completely ignored her.If there was one thing I despised at the moment, it was the fact I needed Mr. Brooks dead, but alive. If he died now, Alexander would have to choose Sabrina, and then I'm gone. There’s still a lot I had to unravel.I entered the hospital through the back, maintaining my pace as I ran into the elevator. The nurses curiously watched as I asked for Mr. Brooks' room, which was on the top floor, one reserved for the wealthy.I didn't know when I burst in, interrupting the conversation between Mr. Brooks and his family."I'm so sorry, Mr. Brooks," I bit my lip. "I should have been

Fiona's POVIt was a great deal chasing Isabella out of the house to God knows where. I gave the house a final touch, setting a flower vase on the table. I changed into a short chiffon gown, letting my hair fall on my shoulders after unweaving the ponytail.The doorbell rang as expected, and I ran to open the door. Alexander stood there with a flower in hand, wearing a large smile."So, may I come in?""You can," I chuckled, closing the door behind me as he walked in."Do you like flowers?""Of course, especially roses," I laughed, accepting the flower with gratitude.He stared at me for a moment, increasing the tension in the room. "Your house, it's nice," he finally said, moving closer to me.I bit my lips slowly. "What are we, Alexander?" I found myself asking, also moving closer. "Say you truly love me, Alexander.""I don't want to hurt you.""Say you burn for me. Say Diya is in the past and what you feel for me is true," I blurted out, dropping the flower and looking into his eye

Alexander's POVI knocked furiously, storming in as she opened the door."What a pleasant surprise, Alexander.""You did that, Sabrina," I said, leaving no space for a question and answer session. She stood, leaning on the door, "say something.""I thought we already decided I did that," she moved away from the door, standing close to me, "well, I didn't do that, I have no need reveal to the world my Fiance is cheating."I took a step closer, till our bodies were almost in contact "Cheating? We aren't even a thing and you know it."She chuckled, revealing that part of her she disguises all the time she's with father, "I don't care what you think, and I certainly don't care what's going on between you and that whore. We'll be getting married, that I assure you."I grabbed her arms, "don't you dare call her a whore!"She slapped my hands off her, "what if the news didn't lie? What if she was a gold digger. She just came into your life, charmed you like a fool and now you'll run to my ho

Fiona's POVI was under the weather on a very bright day; it must have been a reaction to the smoke downtown the other day. It didn't occur to me that someone else was following Alexander besides me—someone a step ahead.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my image. The mini skirt and top were too revealing, I thought, as I added a jacket to hide a good amount of my skin.I picked up my phone and dialed Davis's number, which didn't take a second before he picked up."Hey dawg," he spoke aloud, making me shudder in irritation."How have you been?""Been better now that you have a boyfriend," he laughed. "How will Alexander feel when he realizes you're the one behind everything?""I didn't..." I tried to explain, but that wouldn't change the fact that I was indeed a snitch. "I would love to see you soon. Missed the most annoying person in my life.""I would—" he stopped speaking."Are you there?""Tell Mister to hurry. It seems Alexander found me," he hung up.I panicked. If Davi

Alexander's POV The elevator slid open, and I couldn't help but look at her, reminiscing about the days when we were together. When someone so dear betrays you, shouldn't you feel hatred? So why do I feel okay?"Let's go out," she smiled, her dark skin radiant under the light."Sure," I replied. We walked out, acknowledging the greetings that met us in the hallway. My eyes were drawn to the crowd that had gathered. I couldn't figure out what was happening. "Excuse me," I said, stopping a young woman passing by. She bowed slightly when she recognized me. "What's happening?""Oh, sir, I thought... no, it's Miss Fiona Campbell, she..." she stammered.My eyes widened at the mention of Fiona's name. I dashed down the hallway, pushing through the crowd and reporters as they pressed forward.The security team rushed in, clearing out every unwanted visitor while I stood alone in the middle of the hall, with no trace of Fiona.I watched Diya run towards me, a confused look on her face.
