Arthur

It felt so soft embracing her. We were such a perfect pair, her body fitting perfectly into mine. She breathed heavily into my chest, and I knew it was one of relief. I looked at James, who now looked shocked that he was found, but his gaze held no fear. I scoffed.

“Wait here, princess,” She didn’t rebuke me calling her that, instead, she obeyed as I brought her to my back, blocking James' view of her.

“I have always known you were up to no good, but I’m glad it didn’t take you long to reveal the real you. Just that you did it with the wrong person.”

He scoffed and spat. “And so if you are here? I’m just going to go ahead with what I was going to do! As long as it’s just you.”

“You are quite bold, aren’t you? But why do you always act timidly? Oh, wait, because your dear father didn’t pick up a suitable job to make you rich!” I yelled, poking in where I knew would hurt more, for him to react, and he did.

“Just because you are rich doesn’t mean you can look down on anyone!”

    Gina “What is your favorite place to be in?” Edward asked, taking a sip of his wine. His eyes were boiling into mine, trailing down to my chest. An action I’ve noticed from him since we entered here. But I didn’t have a problem with this, afterall that was what I wanted from wearing the red gown revealing my cleavage. This night wasn’t just for a blind date but to get laid after and Edward was the perfect fit. Tall, brown hair, hazel eyes that screamed sexiest. Perfect build that had made any girl like me sin, and I knew he wanted me too with the way his eyes stretched, hovering all over my body. We were in a restaurant, inside a private room, which I had asked for. My sweet cousin, Alice had agreed to set me up for a date after her last visit to my house. Well, she was among the people who constantly nagged me about leaving Liam and telling her I was out of his hair, she had jumped on my bed, giving me a huge hug after, then two days later, she had set me on a date. I was

    Carly I made my way inside the penthouse, physically and mentally exhausted from everything that had happened. Though Liam had later left, I couldn’t stop thinking about everything, rendering my work almost useless, even at the board meeting. I found myself lost in thought, till now, I couldn’t tell what was fully said. I could only hope that the documents would be submitted by the end of the week. My brows creased at the dark house. It was unusual. “What’s going on?” Arthur wasn't home yet? He had always made sure to be home by now, even urging me to come home earlier for dinner. I sighed, disappointment flowing in my veins. It couldn't be today would be different because of Helena? I shouldn't even be disappointed. Yet it dug at my heart. A soft shudder passed through my body and I sighed, making way to the switch on the light. “Welcome home, wife.” The light turned on and there was Arthur, smiling so broadly, wearing a suit. My breath caught staring at him, his perfectly c

    Carly It was to enjoy the moment. Just to make me happy, having sex, spending time with Arthur, letting him care for me.Everything was going as planned. Don’t fall for him, don’t be fooled by everything. That’s what I have told myself. But, what I had failed to do was control my heart. I have failed to control him from slipping into my heart. I’ve failed because I knew my heart would never forget Arthur, just like my body never did. And visiting his mom has proven just how much I liked Arthur.No.How much I love him. Yes, I was in love with Arthur. That was the only explanation for how I was feeling over not enjoying his presence since we came back. Forcing myself not to smile at his silly approach, or moan at the taste of his food. Forcing myself to sleep alone after getting used to being in his room. It was a torment I never saw coming, a heart-wrenching torment. And now, as I look at his text messages which sounded goofy as usual, I debated on what to do. It won’t go back t

    Arthur Something has shifted. I’ve noticed this after we visited mother. No, it was from the moment that I stepped inside the living room after receiving a call from James. Carly’s gaze has been different as she stared at me. But I couldn’t figure out, the reason why she looked that way. I had canceled it, thinking it was nothing. Had kissed my doubt away in my room, before we slept, she had let me cuddle her yet it felt something was different. I had thought Mom had said something to her so I asked Mom about her. As expected she liked her, they both shared a hug before we left. Then we got home, a few hours later, Carly wanted to go back to her room. I tried speaking to her, but she gave me little to no reason, and she won’t be persuaded At first, I’d wrapped it in lies of wanting to watch over her height so I followed her, but then, she was convinced she was fine, her stare dead, no feelings entwined. And for two days, we’ve lived that way. Though she acted fine, even with h

    Carly Her hands were wide open and I didn't realise when I moved away from Arthur’s hand to her embrace. It was just like I remembered. Soft, comforting. The gentle tap on my shoulder, then the promise. “How little the world is.” I moved out of her Embrace at her words. I never thought I would meet her again one day. I had lived just as I promised so that she could live. I had feared that I would be hunted down if I took my life. At one point, I’d feared for the son. I turned to Arthur. His eyes locked on mine, his gaze confused. How ironic that I wanted to end everything, with him being my last push, but then I met his mother, giving me another reason to live. “I’ll leave to prepare tea,” Mrs MaryJane spoke, her voice breaking the silence of the room. She left. “No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's possible for you both to have known each other.” Arthur moved towards the couch, he sat down, his eyes on us. “Oh, you won’t know.

    Flashback five years ago. CarlyThe hospital cover dragged over the floor as I walked lifelessly along the side of the bridge. Cars move speedily, loud noise, voices hovering in my ears. My feet met with something that could be a stone, sharp, but I felt no pain as I looked down at the sharp edge of the stone, my toenails bloody.I stepped over the stone. I could feel blood flowing from my hand, where I had pulled out the IV to escape the hospital. It was seasonal, light balls flashing green and red. A season of celebration, something that I have always loved, yet never celebrated.Die.Die.Die.You are worthless, nobody wants you. No one. Sharp pain shot through my skull. My head banged, throbbing painfully. I screamed, holding my head, my heart beating faster, wanting to explode. The voice won’t stop. I slapped both my ears with my hands over and over again. Anything to keep the voices away, yet nothing. Instead, it grew louder each time I covered my ears. “You have lost the
