Catherine:I gasped the moment his eyes found mine…“That’s good! He’s awake!” Natalie said, still trying to stop the bleeding.Nico’s eyes then were about to close again, I raised my hand ready to slap him, but froze when I noticed he was just trying to take some rest.“What should I do next?” I offered, but she smiled softly at me.“You can hold his hand” I gulped then nodded and did as she told me.Nico’s eyes met mine, a small smirk on his lips.“You really did it…” His voice barely audible as he said the words. I didn’t know why, but at that moment it felt as if he was proud of me for facing my fears.I nodded and smiled back.“I’m going to kill that fucker!” He gritted his teeth all of a sudden, his eyes focused on the ceiling.I blinked then stared at Natalie, she shrugged then pointed at the empty bottle of alcohol.I knew what that meant, he wasn’t completely sober at the moment, but it doesn’t really matter! What mattered to me the most was the fact he was breathing, he surv

Catherine:When Nico said I’d be surprised he wasn’t lying…I was really surprised when I saw where we were going to spend the next days, weeks or even months…Who knows?It was a small cabinet in the middle of the woods.We walked for half an hour, but since both of us remained silent, it felt like ages…“You don’t like it?” He narrowed his eyes at me, but I shrugged.“I don’t think I care, as long as it’s safe” And with you…My mind said. I pressed my lips then walked past him.“Do you have the keys?” Nico suddenly said as my hand reached to open the door.I grimaced then shook my head.He waved me away then grabbed the keys and opened the door for me.“It’s small…But nice” My eyes roamed all over the place.“Are you sure no one is here? It sounds like someone is already living in this place” The reason I said that was because it was perfectly clean.I simply refused to believe that a place like that was abandoned. Not just that, the place was prepared…The fridge for instance was f

Catherine:Nico’s hand tightened around mine…Both of us knew what was about to happen, we just accepted our fate…Nico knew that his step brother wasn’t going to hesitate on shooting him.I was sure of that too..But all of a sudden, something unexpectedly happened…A black car emerged from the trees and parked right in the middle of all this chaos, as if it were some kind of shield! More of a miracle, if you asked me. The car was parked between us and Marcos, who was shocked and surprised. Nico couldn’t let him go, he wanted to go after him when he saw him escaping, but I held him close.“You’re bleeding… If you go after him, we don’t know what will happen,” I hissed. “Are those your men?” I pointed at the car, but he shook his head.We almost forgot about the car that saved our asses from getting shot by Marcos.Nico shot me a warning look, “stay here” He then walked to the car.The weird part was that whoever was inside that car, and whoever saved us from death didn’t want to sh

Catherine:My eyes flew open as everything came rushing back…My breath quickened the moment my eyes were laid on him.“What the hell is going on? Where are you taking me?!” I sat myself in the backseat of the car he was driving.I realized he was driving fast, but the moment I woke up he stepped on the brakes.“Stop the car and let me go!” I ordered, but he only smirked, turned his face to look at me and said, “No can do.” He faced the road again and continued to drive.“I said, STOP THE CAR!” I yelled, about to attack him from behind, but he all of a sudden stopped the car then turned to shoot me one cold, deadly glare.I gasped, terrified of his looks.He looked like someone who was willing to commit a crime.He then stepped out of the car and opened the door on my side.“This place will do” He raised an eyebrow.“Come on, we don’t have the whole day!” He yelled at me.“What are you doing? Why are we here?” I said, my feet trembling as they touched the cold ground.It was dark, and

Catherine:I hardly opened my eyes…My hands reached for my head to hold it. I was going through the worst headache…And I had no idea why.The last thing I remembered was that I took a nap…All of that didn’t matter when I all of a sudden opened my eyes to see me laying in the backseats of a van.The worst part was, the van was moving, and I was in it!“What is happening?” I muttered, sitting slightly. My hand hit the driver’s seat. “She’s awake,” The driver said.I knew he informed someone over the phone, because no one else was inside that van.It was just me and the driver.“What’s going on?” my voice came out louder this time, my hand slamming his seat even harder.The driver continued to ignore me for the rest of the time.I started to think that someone might’ve kidnapped me, but I knew too well that wasn’t the case. Why? Because I recognized that van, it belonged to Nico.I suddenly decided to sneak a peek and see where we were going, however there were no windows on the back,

Nico:She wasn’t mine to keep…Her father finally agreed to return my sister…But he wanted his daughter back!I clenched my fists under the table.My men were getting ready for tonight.The Butcher agreed to meet us tonight.It looked like Enzo did as I told him, which means, my plan worked!But the moment I realized she can no longer stay, I realized how hard it was for me to let her go…I wanted her to hurt me, to make me hate her…But last night? She made me realize I was more involved with her than I ever thought or hoped…“Is something wrong? If you don’t like my plan…” Malcolm started, but I shook my head and stood.I walked out of the meeting room, giving my men the chance to decide which would leave with me on this mission.I lit a cigarette and pushed the door open, but I stopped when Malcolm blocked my way.“There must be another way. You can’t just give her up like this” Malcolm looked me in the eye, saying what I couldn’t say to myself.“Why would I want to do that? Didn’t

Andy’s POV: My eyes widened when the guy turned around, my doubts turned out to be true. Even though he was wearing a black mask, those blue ocean eyes made me recognize him right away. “Harris?” My voice barely audible, a smile crept onto his half masked face. His eyes were locked with mine for a moment, and I knew I was in trouble, just like every time. “surprised?” he said, scanning my look for a moment, then smirked. His eyes met mine again. I was about to turn, but he grabbed me by my waist, turning me around, so I was facing his smiley face. “What do you think you’re doing?” I asked, “can we at least dance?” he said, his hands traveled from my waist to my back. He pulled me close to him. And I could feel my breath fading away. A song started to play, I assume it was the same song that played in Paris, at Caleb’s party, he smirked. “What do you want, Harris?” I asked, looking away from him as he started to dance, making me sway along with him. All the dancers baby on t

Harris’s pov:I was very surprised that Tress finally decided to talk to me. I was trying to talk to her for the past few months.“What do you want?” she asked, her voice annoyed and pissed. “Tress…please, can you listen to me before judging me?” I asked, “I’ll think about it” her voice was more calm.“I love Andy…and I know how much she loves me…” I started, “but I don’t think she needs me as much as I need her” I added, she remained silent for a moment.“I don’t think there’s another good friend that knows what’s good for his friend like you do” I said, “I just want to know what happened suddenly that made Andy leave?” I asked, she remained silent for a moment, “as if you don’t know” she said, making me shake my head.“I swear…I don’t” I said, “you have to stop all the acting, Andy knows about you and Chloe” she said, seemed honest. My eyes widened, “what?” I asked, feeling my heartbeat accelerating.“She knows that you were back to Chloe, and the worst part was that you told Chloe

Harris’s POV:I stood from my seat, her eyes were locked with mine, and I could feel my heart skipping a beat. Andy was there in front of me, still standing at the doorway, but the way she looked at me, it wasn’t the same anymore.We kept staring at each other for what looked like ages, and it was burning me from the inside. I was too weak, and she was a few inches away from me, but I was unable to walk towards her.Suddenly, she started walking towards my desk, then put some papers on it. I frowned, narrowing my eyes at the papers on my desk. I froze looking at her cold eyes, I was about to say something but she beat me to it.“I signed them…we’re no longer…husband and wife” she said, the shock left me silent, I was about to explain, but I couldn’t speak, instead I kept scanning every inch I loved in her, and it was everything, there was nothing that I didn’t love about the girl she was standing in front of me. I made a few steps closer to her.She flinched, looking away from me, I

Andy’s POV:I was still staring at Hector, who was looking back at me. I was unable to move, standing in front of him as if I was a body without a soul.“What were you expecting?” he asked, “that you can do whatever you want, then just run?” he added, I frowned, then looked away from him.“This was your son’s idea…” I started, but he interrupted me, making closer steps towards me, “but you agreed to it” he said, I opened my mouth to protest, “you lied to all of us, especially to my wife” he said, he was pissed, and annoyed.I gulped, not having any idea of what to answer him, deep down, I knew he was right! But I couldn’t just watch while he was putting all the blame on me.“My wife was lying in a bed inside a hospital for like a month, because of your actions, you and my son” he said, I looked down, not able to look at his disappointed face. I was tearing apart from the inside, I’ve never felt much humiliation in my whole life.I gulped, not looking into his eyes, “I kind of expected

Harris’s POV:I knew that I couldn’t do that anymore, I was struggling and fighting back, just to stay away from alcohol. I hated the fact that I was weak, and needy. And it sucks that I had to have the same bad hangover every morning.Which is why I decided to make a promise, that I’ll stop all of this shit, and was trying to occupy my time with various activities, I even started to go swimming, and boxing.Caleb was shocked, still not believing the fact I was trying to stop all of the mess in my life. But all of that didn’t stop me from thinking about her, Andy was keeping my mind occupied, even at work, I wasn’t able to focus. Most of my meetings were no longer interesting, because she wasn’t around anymore.And most of the employees were confused, and negative all the time, and that made me more aware of the upcoming consequences. If I continue in this way, I’ll lose everything!“The doctor said she’s doing good, but…” My father said, “but she she’s still in coma” I said, dad look

Andy’s POV:“Are you alright?” Landen asked, I froze looking at him, then nervously wiped my tears, “yeah…sorry, it was an urgent phone call” I said with an apologetic look, he nodded, “it’s okay to have phone calls, as long as your work is done. It’s also okay if you want to read some of our books” he finished, I felt relieved that he was friendly.“Anyway, if you need any help with these documents, just ask for Elena’s help” he said before leaving me, I received another call, I decided to switch my phone off, since I have some work to do.After I finished all the work, it was lunch time. I headed outside the library after I took Landen’s permission of course.I switched my phone on, and after a moment or two, it started ringing, I frowned, it was Tress. “hey…” I started, but she interrupted me. “thank god you’re okay!!” she gasped, taking a deep breath, her voice shaking.I frowned, “what’s going on?” I asked, “Andy, Harris knows that you were working with…” she started, “Kim?” I wh

Scarlett’s POV:I watched as Anthony made his way towards me, I backed away, still staring at his black eyes, not smiling back. “Scar…come on, didn’t you miss me?” he asked, “I think we should text Eric to come” I started, “what? Seriously?” he said, I gave him a serious look.“Yeah, since you’re afraid to stay alone with me!” I snapped, his eyes widened, “That was nothing!! Scar, you got it wrong…” he started, I shook my head making my way pass him.“Scarlett….Please, listen to me!” his voice was louder this time. “And why should I listen to you? I mean, you didn’t even bother to tell me you were going to London…do you know how much I was hurt? Do you know that I spend the whole night looking for you everywhere?” I said, feeling my eyes watering just remembering that night.“I was supposed to party my winning, but I found myself shattered…” I added, “Scarlett listen…” he said, closing his eyes, seeming sad, and hurt.“No…you listen...can you imagine how bad I felt when I had to find

Scarlett’s POV:I was still not convinced, how could Anna ask something like that? “He’s a really nice guy…” she was still convincing me. She glared at Nat, trying to get some help from her, “You got nothing to lose, you were trying to push everyone away lately” Nat stood, and approached me. “You’re all messed up, you really need to stop making excuses like studying, or…come on, you even started cooking!” Nat shook her head, as if that was the worst thing ever.“Steffen dies!” I snapped, she gasped, placing a hand on her heart, “And so Enzo…and guess who killed him, it was Steffen!!!” I said middle fingering her, her eyes widened, I could see Anna’s arms crossed over her chest.“IS THAT TRUE!!!” Nat yelled, staring at Anna, “NO!! She’s just messing with you!!” Anna said, pulling Nat in a tight hug, and gave me a deadly glare.“If I agree to go on that blond date…can you stop all the drama?” I said, I know already that that blond date won’t work, because I was sure and certain that I w

Scarlett’s POV:“What?” I asked, my mother was talking as if she had just won the lottery, “Mom…he didn’t call, it’s just another game…” I said, she shook her head, “No! Wait, why would you say that? This is your best friend, and he didn’t leave” she added, “He just left because Megan wanted a closure” she said, I opened my mouth to say something but didn’t even bother.I started to walk upstairs, but mom grabbed my hand, “He’s not a bad boy, you think I’d let my daughter love someone like that?” she said, I sighed, “What do you want me to say mom? I can never believe Anthony, he really screwed up this time!” I said, “Even if he was back, I don’t want to talk to him, like never…” I said, she gave me a surprised look.And with that, I went upstairs, but when I was about to enter my room, I stopped, turning around slowly, looking to his empty room that was opened. I sighed, shaking my head, then stepping inside my room.Then suddenly, my phone started ringing, I didn’t bother to see who

Scarlett’s POV:The shock left me breathless, “Are you okay?” Sophie asked me, “Are you sure?” I asked her, my knees trembling, “Positive, she told me this morning!” she said, seeming honest.My eyes widened, he left? Was that his plan from the beginning? To be everywhere around me, to create this whole new world of caring, loving and protecting, and then disappear? Just like that? And take everything with him to London, with Megan…I nodded, “Thank you for telling me” I said my voice cold, Sophie gave me a concerned look. It was the first time that I couldn’t react, or show I was in pain, maybe because I was getting used to it, I mean it wasn’t the first time. He had done this before!It was so hard to focus inside the class, it was literally the worst day of my life, never felt so needy, or weak before now. Staring at the void, spacing out, and not having any idea what was going on around me.*****************“I had no idea…I swear!” Eric said on lunch, I was still staring at the vo

Scarlett’s POV:I had a horrible pain in my stomach, I felt like I want to puke from the shock, I was completely shocked, shattered and confused…Was he pretending all the time? Our friendship was just a game? Why would he do that? Why would he offer to go somewhere and then he ask for backup, saying he doesn’t want to be left alone with me…I could feel my knees weakening, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… but I knew who to talk to, I knew who had the answer.“ERIC!!!” I yelled, walking towards him, feeling frustration, madness and almost ready to throw up my heart from pain.“What is it?” he asked, seeming worried, “what is this?” I asked him, showing him the messages. He narrowed his eyes reading, suddenly his eyes widened, “is that Jason’s phone?” he asked, changing the subject.“Answer the damn question…” I said, opened his mouth to explain, “It’s not what you think…” he started, I shook my head, “okay then…tell me what am I supposed to think?” I asked, “Listen, you really have to

Scarlett’s POV:He placed the necklace around my neck, his breaths tickling my neck, I couldn’t believe he was so close to me. My heartbeats accelerated wildly, as if my heart could never beat faster than that. But I realized I was wrong, my heart could beat faster than that, because Anthony’s words made me lose my mind…“You’re so fucking beautiful, Scar” he whispered, and I was so messed up, I closed my eyes, but suddenly, I opened them to notice he had already pulled back, his eyes still staring at me.“Thanks…” I looked away from him nervously, feeling myself blushing, “how do you feel?” he asked, like I’m about to lose my mind?“I honestly don’t know…I just know that I want to do this” I said, he smirked, “I know you’ll nail it there! I heard you playing, and it makes me feel so good Scar…” he finished, his eyes looking deep into my eyes.“Thanks for everything…” I said, opening the door, and step outside his car.*****************I was holding my violin, heading to the back sta
