We stopped by Leo’s apartment to grab a few things and then we were on our way to the campus. It was no longer in lock down but Aria’s room was still closed for now. They had given Dani a temporary room by shifting a bed in one of the non functional storage rooms. It sounds worse than it really was, the room was big enough. It wasn’t so bad. After the investigation is thoroughly complete and the room is all cleaned up, Dani could move back in. I don’t think she wanted to. If she had an option she would bolt from there the first second she could get. But living off of campus would be unnecessarily expensive.Since there is a vacancy..They offered me. They offered me to move in with Dani since I was so opposed to having a boy roommate. On one hand I don’t want Dani to suffer by herself and on the other, the thought of moving into that room scares me. I know it would be much worse for her, which is why I was confused.I sigh.“Can’t I just stay here and.. not move.” I mumble.“Do you th
Chapter 42 The butler was dressed in all black, he brought a fancy food trolley and set down the plates with tea. There was a glass stand with 3 tiers, one of them had cupcakes, the other had small tea cakes and the top most one had macarons.My mouth was watering and I pursed my lips to stop myself from drooling.“Please, help yourself.” He waved to the food.I ponder with suspicion.“If I wanted to poison you, I would have done it while you were unconscious.” He assured me.That’s some assurance alright!“Can I have some cold coffee instead? I don’t really drink tea.” I shrug. If I’m here, might as well dig in right?“Right away.” The butler gave a little bow and headed back to the kitchen.Impressive. I nod slowly, slightly impressed with the way things worked here.They are living in a completely different world from me, aren’t they? I can’t imagine living like this. I mean, I didn’t have a bad life by any means. My parents always made sure I had everything I needed, of course. H
I didn’t think about it before, rather, I think my mind was still hazy from whatever they gave me to knock me out. I can’t believe it.He looks nothing like him. I try to look closely at his features more and more, at one point he probably might think that I could be into him but I just wanted to get a good look to see the resemblance. I actually think their noses are the same. Maybe lips.Their eyes are completely different. Am I wrong?“Are you.. Taranis’s father?” I ask with hesitance. I could only imagine if he was really a random kidnapper who caught me for organ trafficking.The man gave a rough smile. “That is correct. I’m surprised you caught on so quickly. Unless he told me about you, of course.” He sounded like he was gloating to some extent, happy that he was being mentioned even if it was in a horrible way.I wanted to diffuse his fantasy.“I overheard your phone call with him.. sort of.” I shrug. “You know you could have just called me right? If you’re going as far as kid
Chapter 40The last thing I remember was seeing a kitty in the back alley. If I really strain my brain for more information and try to recall the incident.. I’d say I was kidnapped and taken in a black van. There was bright white light shining and for a second I thought it was the tunnel people go through at the end of their life when they are ready to die.I try to scream, ‘NO I’m too young to die! Please! At least let me live till 40!’“No. I don’t want to die.” I murmur over and over as my eyes open and adjust to the bright light.Oh. It wasn’t a tunnel gateway to heaven.My eyes were just blinded by the reflection from the white ceiling.“Trust me sweetheart, we have no intention to harm you here.” My vision focuses on a man sitting opposite to me. Before I answer, I take a quick look around my surroundings and nudge my elbow against my pants just to see if my phone was still in my pockets. I doubt they would be rookie enough to leave it in without-Well I’ll be damned. I feel the
Ah here we have one of these chapters again.. it’s necessary sometimes to keep the story going otherwise I wouldn’t be paid so .. you can choose not to buy this chapter and also if it helps you can turn off the auto buy button at the bottom. \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ You’d think after what happened in the van with the extremely sensual kiss that I would not be phased anymore but I was.

Chapter 39You’d think after what happened in the van with the extremely sensual kiss that I would not be phased anymore but I was. He said I was underestimating his control.I shake my head. “Forget it.” There is no point in looking deep into his actions because Taranis was a complete tease and he always has been.I ignored what had happened and went to sleep in the room which was cleaner than the living room. It took me a long time before sleeping finally came, I was thinking about all sorts of things. I had asked them if breaking out could potentially make things worse but apparently it depends solely on Taranis’s family. If they are trying to stir things up they might take it too far but maybe they’ll feel bad for their son who was just shot??? And let him have some peace. I finally fell into a restless sleep with many thoughts circling through out my head, I actually think that some of them managed to become dreams or nightmares inside my mind. The brain was a weird and crazy t
