A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 130- Becoming Dorian’s Dog
When Kieran was gone, my feet were frozen to the ground. My heart was threatening to leap out of my chest. Dorian and Antler’s eyes were on me.‘Oh Lord, I am so dead. They will bury me along with these guys.’Eyes widened, sweat collecting on my forehead when Dorian exhaled the smoke in the air and walked towards me.My head was low. Dorian was right before me, his eyes stricter than ever, disturbing my whole being. “Was it true, Zayne?”“Wh- What?” I blinked, trying to act oblivious, hoping that would save me from my ultimate demise. “Did you kill them because they hurt Kristine?” He avoided the ‘love’ part completely. He did not question nor did he force the answer off me, fortunately.“She... She is just 15, Sir. And these dogs touched her forcefully. I did what any dignified man would,” I replied honestly. “You hear, Dorian? Dignified man.” Antler chuckled darkly from behind. They shifted from outrageous to predatory in a heartbeat.“I am sorry, Sir. I—I don’t know what took
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 129- The Charmer’s Truth
I was 18, my life was sorted, looking forward to a hardworking life. To provide the best for my mother and sister by standing on my feet soon. I couldn’t fathom Kristine as a part of my future. A servant? Loving his Madam? Impossible. I had convinced my heart since childhood.One evening, I was studying, and 15-year-old Kristine ran and collided into me. My books fell on the ground, back straightened by the heavenly impact of the embrace. “Zayne…!”“Kr-Kristine? What happened? Why are you crying?” I gasped.Glancing over my shoulder and found her sobbing. Her hands wrapped around my waist, refusing to let me go. Her tears soaking my shirt, clenching my heart, wondering what happened to her now. She looked up at me through her tears-stained face, whimpering. “My.. my… first kiss!” I blinked. “Your first what?” “They- they took it. They pinned me and kissed me forcefully…!” She cried more, turning me to face her, her hands locked around me, sharing her anguish with me.“I spit on
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 128- Her Knight
ZAYNE’S POV******************“We grew up together in the Iglesias Mansion… Our worlds were miles apart. You were the heiress. And me? I was the son of a maid.”PAST:My father left my mother pregnant for another woman. She was a single mother of two. I and Carmine, the head maid of the Iglesias household. The family welcomed us, we were devoted to the people who gave a roof over our heads. We worked hard and I never dared to confess.But, I had been deeply, madly, passionately in love with the heiress since childhood. But, she was far, too far. How could I ever dream of reaching her? She was 10, I was 13. Kristine had always relied on me since childhood and not once did this household make me feel I was a servant. Maybe it was because of Kristine’s reliance. “It hurts, Zayne!” She was crying when a thorn pricked her finger. I was holding her hand cautiously in mine. My heart was beating abnormally. The twinkles were endless when she came to me first, watching the drop of blood
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 127- Long Lost Truth
We remained like this for a while, allowing reality to settle deep in our bones before pulling away a little. I shifted closer, resting my head on his shoulder. Zayne continued smiling beautifully, tracing his index finger on the lines of my palm with the purest affection.“Zayne…”“Hmm?” “For the first step, Zayne, I want you to accept me as your wife.” I murmured on his neck, planting a brief, but in-depth kiss. He chuckled nervously, placing his free hand on my shoulder to pull me into his embrace.“You are my wife, Darling. What do you mean accepting-”Freeing my hand, I clutched his shirt, forcing him to stare into my serious gaze, demanding what I had been desiring for quite a while.“Start calling my name in public. I am yours, do not use the formal tag of ‘Mrs Nightwood’ with me. Use my name, call me. Please?”Zayne was shocked.“I.. uh.. Kristine, I have never called your name when I mentioned you with another person.” “Now, I want you to. Use my name,” I demanded, standi
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 126- Final Decision
THIRD POV***************In an opulent lounge of the Herald private estate, a place only authorized for special persons only, Emeric and Edric were having a drink.“That was cruel, Emeric.” Edric snickered, glancing at Emeric who was staring out of the window with an indestructible gaze, twirling the glass in his hand.“You turned every last remnant of the Sunshine Orphanage against Antler– The very name that saved him.” Edric shrugged, finishing his drink in one go.“That should teach him a lesson.” He replied nonchalantly. His emerald eyes overflowing with a deadly indifference.“You do not save the enemy's assets. Did he think they were innocent? They were my trained soldiers.”“How he must think, no? Every last ‘kid’ he saved tried an assassination attempt on him. His kindness drowned him.” Edric smirked, thrilling to imagine how ‘devastated’ Antler must be.“And by now, I firmly believed he had settled his score with my Princess too.”Edric turned to him, his brows raising in di
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 125- Cleaning Service
When Antler was gone, I gasped. My eyes were a blend of compassion and distress. Antler’s state was highly disturbing.But, for now, I had to clean that mess up before I could alert the neighbors and bring us troubles. Judging by Antler's state, he would openly accept his crime too.Rubbing my temples, I only had my personal phone and decided to call Kieran, who was in his zone like always. Either having sex, indulging in his strip club, or high.“Kieran,”“Hmm?”“I… need your service.”“Do you want to become my target in the list of cheaters?” He let out a bark of laughter. “Or does the missus finally want to have a three-way? Which one? Which girl should I send? Star?” “The cleaning service… Antler’s apartment.” I mumbled, killing his amusement instantly, making him deadpan as he asked, unable to hide the concern in his tone. “...What did he do?”I looked at Rose’s body, “Killed a little bird.” Kieran arrived hastily, storming inside, hoping what he heard was terribly wrong but
