CHAPTER 61

The whole time Darius was being led to where Edward was waiting for him, I had been restless. Actually, I had been restless since when we began talking about the plan. It was a plan that could ruin everything we had worked for. If we caught him great, but if we failed, he was going to know that we had hacked into his system, he was going to know that we had been watching him and he was going to kick Kai out. If he did that, all what we had been doing for weeks would have gone down the drain.Kai had been very supportive. I didn't know how he had time to do his work and still had enough time to talk to me and cheer me up. I still didn't know if he was just being friendly or he was looking to get something more from me. But he hadn't just been friendly, he had helped to catch Darius. Now I was back home with Aria and Jace waiting for Edward and his men to bring in Darius. After the alarm had gone off, Darius' security team were alerted and the head of the security team instructed his

CHAPTER 62

I had waited for weeks to give him that punch on the nose and just as I had expected, it felt really nice to hear that crashing sound beneath my fist, but I was not expecting to hear Caila retching behind me. That was what I was expecting and the reason I had not wanted her to be there while I was interrogating him.Despite the blood dripping from his nose across his shirt, I saw Darius shaking as a laugh erupted from his lips as he stared at Caila. “I always knew it. You're such a weak bitch and I just love fucking weak bitches, you should have just let me do what I wanted to do and maybe you would have...” Darius was laughing before I could stop her, Aria had crossed the room and thrown a punch to his stomach, so hard I could feel the air knocked out of his lungs. A punch that even I was proud of.“Don't you ever!” Aria shouted at him, shaking with anger and gave him a hard slap across the cheek as blood sputtered out of his mouth. “Don't you ever call her a bitch again or you'd lo

CHAPTER 63

I was confused. Extremely confused that I had to leave Darius in the basement and come out to take in air. Maybe the stuffiness of the basement was making me slow, affecting my ability to understand.I just stood there for a moment, breathing in deeply, and letting the air brush over my face. I was trying to make sense of everything. I really needed to understand but the more I thought about it, the more it just kept getting complicated. I thought I had grasped everything but now it was feeling like I had missed a huge part of the puzzle. How was it possible that Darius had never been the one that had hacked into my system? But I had seen the evidence, right? Or was it just in my head? I had spent weeks chasing him, trying to get him but now my mind was clouded with confusion.Aria’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. “He said he did not do that?” she asked again after I had explained what Darius had told me. I had told her about how he had said it so seriously and truthfully that I

CHAPTER 64

The sound of birds were the sound that had woken up to and when I pulled the blind, the sun rays had warmed my face. It was the second morning I was waking up thrashing, screaming and crying because of nightmares, after what had happened with Darius. Aria and Jace had helped me achieve that and I was eternally grateful. Aria had been right too. After I had lost my control and leaped on Darius, I didn't know what I was doing but all I wanted was for him to stop coming at me, for him to get a taste of what he had put me through, for him to feel my anger.I was angry at Edward for lifting me and taking me out but Aria had told me that it would have been bad if I killed him. I would have been in a complicated situation and made Jace go through a lot of trouble, then I was going to be consumed with guilt for the rest of my life. It had been only a week since Jace had anonymously released an audio confession of Darius claiming to have assaulted and sexually harassed a lot of women. He ha

CHAPTER 65

I sat across from Rita and after explaining what I had been doing for weeks and how Darius was now in prison paying for his crimes, she was speechless and that was a lot when it came to Rita. I had finally decided to meet her and I missed her presence, missed all my friends.“How is Caila?” she asked finally. “How is she now that it is over?”“Caila is great, she's better now and she's probably going to continue her art again,” I replied.“How about you?” Rita asked, concern on her face. I didn't know the correct way to answer the question. I wasn't sure how I felt but I knew that I felt better now that Darius was paying for his crime. “Really don't know but I would be okay.”“You and Jace, working together, that was surprising, you both made a great team,” Rita said with a smirk. “Who would have thought about that?”She was right but it wasn't something I wanted to agree to outside of my head. Jace had been cool while we were working together. He was not as annoying and didn't shout

CHAPTER 66

Jace moved closer again, closing the space between us, the humor, gone away from his face replaced by desire. He was so close that I could feel the heat radiating off his skin. At this point, my heart was already racing at an irregular rate that I had no control of, my breaths had gone shallow, like if I breathed too sharply, I was going to shatter the moment.I knew I wanted it to kiss him and I knew he wanted it too but I was confused. The right thing to do was to step back, to push him away from him and tell him to respect boundaries or something to make him stop but I couldn't. He had never kissed me before and I wondered what he was going to taste like, how it was going to feel to have his lips on mine. The mere thought of it set the butterflies in my stomach off.His warm hand brushed a strand of hair from my face, but he didn't move away immediately - his fingers lingered at the back of my head, sending sharp shivers down my spine. Our eyes locked, and the air crackled with el

CHAPTER 67

It was a Saturday morning and even though I had woken up earlier, I kept my eyes closed, hoping that the sleep was going to come back. I didn't go to the office and I slept really late.I didn't know when I had even slept the previous night. I had gotten into my room but was too pissed off to sleep - I was pissed off at Caila for always trying to do something stupid and dangerous every time, was also pissed at Jace for making me feel like kissing him was the best thing that had happened to me in a long while - it was, but it still pissed me. Especially the way I had just caved in without much hesitation, without fighting it, making it seem like I had been expecting it.I had even had another hot bath, hoping that I could sleep off when I was done but thoughts of Jace and the way he had kissed me kept floating around in my head before sleep could come. Even now, I couldn't stop thinking about the way he had kissed me breathlessly, the way he smelled and the taste of coffee on his lips

CHAPTER 68

Jace had pulled a shocker on me and I was still stuck in the bliss of the moment as I dressed up in the dress he had gotten me for the evening. He had literally spent the whole of the morning and part of the afternoon with me at the cemetery. And that was the first time I had seen him get that vulnerable. Tell me about how he had lost his parents and siblings. Then how it was better to stay out of love because when you do and the person goes, your life would be ruined. And he wasn't wrong but the statement made me wonder if that was what made him to be the way he was. Even when he was with Caila all the time, he seemed to have one leg on the outside. He sounded like a pessimist that always waited for things to go wrong. When we got back from the cemetery, I wore the cloth he had gotten me for the afternoon, without him asking me to. I believed he wanted to take me somewhere else but he had just given me one of his cards and told me that I could do whatever I needed to do with it. Bu

CHAPTER 69

I stood there, waiting for him to leave or tell me he was kidding but he didn't.“I could stay here all day,” he said when he noticed that I was making no move to undress. He said it with this conviction that I knew that I had to believe him even if I didn't want to. He was going to stay till I undressed. “Okay, I'm going to wear it,” I replied. “Then go ahead,” he replied like I was the person causing the delay. “Can you go outside, so I could...” I started but he stopped me with a look.“No!” he smirked. “You lost that chance to make that choice when I told you earlier and you decided to be stubborn. Now I'm just going to watch you do it.”I was wearing just a loose T shirt and free shorts when I went for breakfast and one of the reasons I was delaying was because I wasn't wearing a bra, I had just worn the shirt rushed down to breakfast and didn't want to burden myself with a bra. I didn't know it was going to end up like this. Who was even going to know that he was going to ask

CHAPTER 70

I told myself that I was done trying to get Jace's attention. I was done appearing like a fool before him. I was done with him and I couldn't wait for the one year of the contract to expire so I could go back to my regular life. For now, I was only going to be focusing on my art, get better and break new grounds. I had told myself all that for days that Jace had stayed away from me but immediately I saw the way that he was treating Aria; the way he was making her feel special and when he had finally taken het out for the evening, all my resolve shattered. I couldn't stop the envy that shoved its way to the front of my mind. I couldn't let go of it even though I knew that I should. She was my sister and I shouldn't be jealous but I couldn't help it.At some points during the day, she had even tried to make me hang out with her but I couldn't. I knew that I wasn't going to present there with her so it was easier for me to say no. If I did, there was a high possibility that I was going
