A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 239- No Longer Among Us
ZAYNE’S POV******************“Antler is dead.”Those three words from Dorian had shattered my world into endless fragments before I could even process them. My brain refused to accept it. Antler? The fearless, untouchable lieutenant? Dead?I sprinted down the hall, grabbing my car keys from the counter. My vision blurred with an overwhelming mix of shock and grief. Though my chest constricted, the fear dried my throat. Yet I had to see. I had to reach the hotel. I had to see him with my own eyes.“Kristine! Get inside—”The sentence died in my throat when I found the porch was empty. The blanket lay discarded. The shattered pieces of our mug glinted beneath the light. Soaked in a fresh pool of dark, unmistakable blood.My heart stopped beating. I instinctively retreated a step due to dread.“Kristine…?” I gulped before letting out a yell of pure terror. “KRISTINE!”Movements caught my eye at the far edge of the driveway. The unmistakable car and the Sparrow Crest.Kristine’
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 238- Eclipse Of Peace
KRISTINE’S POV*********************After our unforgettable moment, Zayne and I cleaned up, grabbed a blanket and sat together on the front steps of the mansion.Sharing one blanket, a single mug of hot chocolate rested between us. Our faces flushed due to the hot shower, our smiles never-ending.He took a sip before offering it to me. I accepted it with a smile, wrapping my hands around it. I also took a sip, “I told you to not put too many marshmallows.”“You said you loved them during your pregnancy.”“It was cravings.” I defended myself, holding my head high. “The only thing too much I love is cake.” “Come on, I put four. It’s not that much.”“Four?” My mouth gaped, “You put nine.”He grinned victoriously, “I'll make it twelve next time.”I laughed, nudging his shoulder, “Then drink yourself.”“I will make it. And you will drink it. You know why?” He leaned over just enough to steal another sip before I could.“... Because I will make it. With love. For you.”“No. I will not.”
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 237- Couldn’t Protect
Dorian hadn't taken his eyes off his bride.For thirty minutes, she had remained curled in the corner of the honeymoon suite, her white gown gathered around her like wilted petals. The sobs had faded long ago, leaving behind something far more unsettling.Silence.Done with the lack of interaction, he finally decided to break the silence.“Carmine.”No response. Her chin rested on her knees, eyes never lifted from the floor. But, she refused to look at him.“Look at me.” His voice remained low, almost careful.Her fingers tightened around the fabric of her gown, curling herself more. “I can't.”The answer came as little more than a whisper.Dorian frowned, “Why?”Her breathing faltered, closing her eyes, “I am afraid.” “Afraid…” His expression remained unreadable as he studied her trembling figure. “Of me?” No reply. “Since when?”A long silence followed, confusing the man more than ever. Slowly, after struggling with her courage, a barely audible voice left.“Forever.”His jaw t
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
