LOGINKINGSTON Doctor Whitmore arrived today, after days of waiting for him, he finally showed. Rowan and I picked him up from the airport this morning, and he refused to rest. He has another flight this evening and two other patients after seeing Aeliana. I had asked Evelyn and Maddox to bring her downs
“I know,” I sigh. I will never doubt Kingston’s love for me again, not when he has proved it time and time again that he does love me. What is yet to be proven is if that love is enough, it doesn’t seem like it right now, not when we both can’t look each other in the eye without one of us breaking.
AELIANA I feel suffocated. Everywhere I turn, Kingston is right there. He is worse than a shadow, at least shadows disappear at some point, but he doesn’t. When he does, he has someone else shadowing me. I haven’t left this room all day. I’ve had to eat, sleep and contemplate right here, more than
“I did too,” she hiccups, fully sobbing now. “I always wanted to be better for you, but you let me get ruined.” I carefully move closer, not wanting to alarm her when I pull her close again. “You are not ruined, you are a fighter, Aeliana,” I tell her, rubbing her back. “You’re strong, and you will
I take Aeliana back to our room and sit her down on the bed. She immediately grabs a pillow and holds it to her chest, staring me up and down. “I’m scared, please take me back,” She whispers. “I don’t want to stay here with any of you.” “Who do you not want here? Say the word, and they’re gone.” “

Maddox pauses at a safe distance, sucking in a breath. “Hey.” “How is she ?” “We’re done,” he swallows, not a single ounce of his usual playfulness visible. “But she doesn’t want to see anyone right now.” Rowan is on the move instantly, “I’ll—” “Wait,” Maddox grabs his arm, pulling him backwards
In response, she frowns. “I thought you responded to violence after using it on Alex.” “He was not listening,” she grits through her teeth, staring at him like she’s about to exact revenge for the slaps he helped her get. “Neither were you but Alex is a child,” Luna Aeliana tells her. “He will lea
“No, stop.” I choke on my spit up, nervously turning in the dark. He is lying. Everyone who says Kingston doesn't love me is a fucking liar! “He loves me, you…” “Looking for me already?” He chuckles. “Relax, you’ll see me in the light again, just let me buy a new camera little tease. We can make an
The moment I see an opportunity to flee, I take it. I escape to the one place no one is, the hallway. I take a drink with me, needing a moment of peace but the lights start flickering, and by the time I look up, they turn off completely. “For fucks sake.” I groan. Why would this happen in the middle
