A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 236- A Future He Wanted
Antler’s hands rested lazily in his pockets as he crossed the empty parking lot, a smile refusing to leave his face.Ariana's teasing replayed in his mind."You're going to be the father of my babies now."“You really believed I forgot a condom.”A laugh escaped him, shaking his head. He could feel his heart beating madly in anticipation.“No, Ari… I forgot something much more important.”He unlocked his car to reach inside the compartment. Beneath a stack of old documents rested a small velvet box containing his Mother’s ring.His fingers froze.Slowly, almost reverently, with his eyes glowing… He picked it up.For a long moment, he simply stared before opening it. Inside rested a modest platinum ring, its diamond catching the faint glow of the parking lights.His mother's ring.The ring she had once held against his tiny hand with a smile."One day, you'll give this to the woman who becomes your home."For the first time, he had decided to give it. “...Mom… Anna.” My lips quivere
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 235- A Man Possessed
Dorian’s suite had been prepared with absurd perfection—white roses scattered, champagne chilling in silver, candlelight flickering against the floor-to-ceiling windows.The sight looked like the beginning of a fairy tale.But, only from outside.For Carmine, it felt like a prison.“Is this it? The End?” A question escaped before she could stop it along with a trail of tears.Carmine stood near the bedroom window, dressed in a pristine white wedding gown. The delicate lace sleeves trembled with her shaking arms. Her veil had already slipped halfway down her back.But, she did not care about the appearance.Her mind was disturbed. Anxiously waiting for her groom.It wasn’t long when the doors opened and brought heavy silence in the room. She never looked at the man who had entered but her heart began to pound madly as her fingers fidgeted around her dress.Dorian Iglesias loosened the cuff of his black suit before closing the distance between them with measured steps.One.Two.Three
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 234- Passion And Love
THIRD POV*****************“Ariana, I am in danger! Come right now! I need you!” Without thinking twice, she drove off to Platinum Star Hotel.“Antler—” She called worriedly, slamming the door open.But, she had only taken two steps. A hand grabbed her elbow, kicked the door close and slammed her against the wall.Not given a moment to process, a pair of lips were upon hers, taking her into a mind-bending kiss.His hands roughly intertwined with hers and pinned them beside her head.When he finally pulled back just an inch, his dark eyes were possessive, leaving her a breathless mess.“Antler!?” She gasped yet unable to hide the way her face glowed.“What the fuck was that?”“I told you, I need you.” She chuckled breathlessly, placing a palm against his chest to ground herself. “Oh, my, when did you become such a passionate lover?”“Do you not like this side of mine?” Ariana let out a husky chuckle and traced her fingers on the side of his face. “I only fantasized.” Abruptly, sh
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 233- The Swing
KRISTINE’S POV*********************The mansion was dead quiet. No footsteps. No voices. Just the night and us.Giving us the perfect opportunity to complete the fantasies we once had. And I won’t deny, doing something risque–with the fear of being caught– was one of them.“Here we are.” Zayne put me down and glanced around, inspecting the cold air. “The weather is freezing tonight. Are you sure?” “Are you kidding me?” I smirked, “This is the perfect weather.” The night was dark, no stars, no sign of glimmer in the proximity. Only the distant hooting of owls and crickets in the grass.Perfect. Zayne’s hands are already on my waist, guiding me backward until the swing hits the backs of my thighs.“Sit.”I did. He gave me a slow push, giving me a sweet smile, swinging for a few moments to adjust in my seat and relax.“Are you comfortable, Kristine?”“Uh-huh.”He dropped to his knees between my legs without another word, pushed my thighs wider. He lifted my dress up slowly and l
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 232- Provoking Edric
THIRD POV*****************In the locked private study of the Iglesias Mansion, Dorian and Antler kept the quiet warmth of the house far away. Between Dorian’s fingers, a thin rolled joint burned slowly while Antler inhaled the power, shutting down his system. Though nothing worked. Nothing reduced their stings.“Fuck.” Antler snarled, hitting the table.Tonight, neither men indulged in the top-notch stuff provided by Black Rose.“This is the third attack this month, Dorian.” Antler began furiously.“Edric is getting out of control. He is trying to block all our shipment paths and open his.”“What the fuck is going through his mind?” Dorian’s hand slowly clenched around the joint, his dark eyes fixed blankly on the rising smoke. “He was never this reckless.”“He’s become a mad dog.” Antler replied, his voice grave. “Just burning down one path after another without a care for the collateral damage.”“Emeric is a disciplined man. He’s broken and tamed endless souls over the decade
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 231- Complete Family
All four of us were gathered around the central table for tea—Carmine sitting close to Dorian, and Kristine beside me.My mind was still processing the full weight of the truth. The haze was still there, but I knew I had to get used to the sight of this reality.Eventually, Dorian broke the silence. “So what now, Zayne?”“What what?” I asked casually, feeding Krisitne was bite of her cake. Dorian set his coffee mug down, leaning back in his chair with a calculating expression. “What are you going to do now?” “I don’t understand.” I turned to him slowly, knitting my brows together, “Do what?”“You have been shot.” He pointed at my shoulder, then towards Kristine. “Kristine’s security is compromised too.”Kristine and I exchange worried glances. I could already tell where this was going to lead. “Ever since you have left. You are nothing but a victim and a target.” Dorian reminded me strictly. I placed the spoon down, looking him dead in the eyes.“I left for good.”No matter how t
