Anger, lust, submission, and the list goes on.

I was counting…. I think I am getting somewhere. Somewhere I didn’t want nor could I handle it.

I was lost in my thoughts the next day, trying to understand the man known as my husband who had begun to exist in the center of my thoughts since our one-night-stand.

"Come with me.” Speaking of the devil, he popped out of nowhere.

“I have prepared a surprise. A peace offering." Zayne said expectantly, his voice softening, almost melodic. He reached f

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   205- Future Of Safety

    KRISTINE’S POV*********************Was he out of his mind? Me? A leader? How come such a ridiculous thought entered his mind in the first place? “What…?” My voice came in the form of a screech, staring at him to search for a sign that says ‘It’s a joke’. There wasn’t any.“You- You can’t be serious, Zayne. We can’t do that.” I whispered fretfully, pulling my hand away and clutching them close to my chest. He frowned, “Why not?”“Because it’s the same thing I had been running away from!” I whisper-yelled. “Then stop running away. Maybe it is the time you embrace the fact that this life won’t leave you.”I agree to some extent but accepting would also shatter the boundaries and walls I once built with pride. I wanted myself removed from the underworld for a good reason.“No… no, I can’t.” Shaking my head in denial, I got up. My steps leading away from him, away from the suffocation he suddenly brought between us.“Dorian’s, my past enemies, your father’s, Edric’s… Enemies are e

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   204- Lingering Threats

    ZAYNE’S POV******************I was absolutely outraged. The fact that someone had dared to put their filthy hands on my wife, in her own building, had awakened the very monster I had spent months promising her I would bury. “How the fuck a nobody could enter her building with a damned gun?!”I slammed my fist into the table.“We—We don’t know, Sir,” he stammered, sweat pouring down his neck. “The perimeter was clear, the cameras—”“How much money did you get for this, you fuckers?” I snarled, my fingers gripping the lapels of his uniform jacket.Without thinking, I lifted him slightly out of his chair. Barely able to control the urge to break his jaw. “S-Sir, please… we didn't take anything!”My jaw clenched when he refused to open his mouth, “Open your mouth or else I will—”“Zayne. I will deal with them. You don’t have to stain your hands.”The smooth, mocking voice cut through my rage from the doorway. I froze, my grip tightening on the guard for a second before I slowly turn

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   203- Sudden Attack

    KRISTINE’S POV*********************The layers of secrets had completely undone me. I was utterly struck in a dilemma, incapable of thinking on my own at the moment. Therefore, I required assistance from the only man I could trust blindly. “I don’t know what to do, Antler.” I groaned in frustration, throwing the file in my hands on the table.“If I choose Zayne, I might lose my brother. And if I choose Dorian…” I trailed off worriedly.“I firmly believe your heart knows the answer already.”Antler only smirked in return, striking a match to light his cigarette before blowing a thick cloud of smoke into the air. “You are too weak for Zayne, Kristine. Even after knowing his nature, his obsession, his lies– You choose to be with him.” he stated the truth with devastating accuracy. “You can’t live without him. The only reason you called me here was to give you a suggestion on how to help Zayne through this, no?” “.... Yes.” I admitted. It was no less than a surrender. He let out a

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   202- Sharing Emotions

    THIRD POV***************The rain was harsh, hitting against Antler’s window constantly, breaking his rhythm. He was staring at the empty wall with a strange hollowness.‘What's the point of living?’On the other hand, Ariana’s car died completely. The headlights flickered once, twice, before shutting down.“Shit!” She cursed, hitting the steering wheel in frustration. She glanced at the thunderous rain outside and glanced at her phone screen that glowed with a cruel 1%.“Great.” She muttered.Though she was only two blocks away from his building, the hesitation was real. It took her twenty minutes to decide.Thoroughly drenched, Ariana stood in the hallway outside Antler’s apartment.Her clothes clung to her skin, her hair was plastered to her neck, and a small puddle was rapidly forming around her designer heels.She was uncertain, her shivering hand hovering over the doorbell. After the devastating confrontation, showing up at his “personal hell” felt too wrong. But the cold was

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   201- Only Sanctuary

    “A Bounty?”“Yes.” I commanded.My voice was dead, and completely unrecognizable to my own self. I picked up the bottle of whiskey, taking a long, burning gulping as I stared at her image. “No rules. No mercy. I want her hunted.”Kieran looked at me, a flicker of caution crossing his eyes, “You want her brought to you? Are you going to vanish her like Carmine did?”“No,” I hissed, my fingers tightening around the glass until it threatened to shatter. The last shred of my humanity dissolved into the dark. “I want her dead. I’m going to kill her myself, and I’m going to make Dorian watch the pieces crumble, Kieran.”“Kill her!?” To my hysterical announcement, Kieran only laughed loudly in return that only pricked my ears. “Oh boy, oh boy. Such high and mighty statements?” He mocked me. “Don’t drown so deep in rage that you forget the weight of your words, Zayne.” I glared at him, an unhinged rage filling my entire being. “I am serious, goddammit!”He stopped right at my face, star

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   200- His Ultimate Revenge

    After cleaning up, we laid back down on the mattress but there was no sleep coming for either of us.“Are you happy after getting what you wanted, again? Is my submission to your satisfaction, Mr. Nightwood.” She mocked.“As a matter of fact.” I chuckled huskily, stroking her cheekbone with my thumb.“Yes. It is. Reasonable enough for me to survive.”“Don’t give me these talks now.” She muttered, removing my hand. I smirked triumphantly, “I don’t need words. I am certain you know this extremely well.”She pouted and was about to pull away but my hand held out to catch her. My arm slowly swept around her waist to place her on top of my bare chest and gain my tranquility.But as our skins collided, the synchronization of our heartbeats made me realize she was my compassionate companion and truly deserved to know my silence.But, should I?Maybe I should. She had all the rights to know. “Kristine…”“Hmmm?” ​“Edric… killed my family…” I began slowly, swallowing hard, “All because I wo

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   120- Love Changed Him

    The rest of the time was a blur of negotiations, and a non-disclosure agreement and further return of the assets. Dorian was attempting to push me to an edge.“It’s worth 500 million, typically for Nest’s special. Are you sure you want to give it up as well, Zayne?” He pressed, narrowing his eyes.

  • A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood   119- Worth Dying For

    ZAYNE’S POV******************If I were to perish, I would take every secret, every lie, and my very soul with me. I wouldn’t allow it to end smoothly– not when I was already the villain of her story. If the truth was to be exhumed, why should I have to face the silence alone?“You were with me i
