EricaOne month later...“Miss Cavanagh!” I cringed and jerked up in my seat as I became aware of the eyes on me. The whole class looked over their shoulders at me where I sat at the back near the window. “Is there something more interesting than what I’m teaching here outside that window?”“Of course, there is. For one, I am not bored looking at those pigeons, even they are more interesting than your lecture.” I didn’t realise I had spoken out loud until I heard the gasps and murmurs and a few snickers that echoed around me.Professor Martinez, who had hated me from day one flushed bright red.

EricaI hugged my brother- in- law tightly and realized that I had missed him. His big hand patted my back a few times before he pulled back and straightened. He was a tall man with a bearing of someone that belonged to a royal family, considering he was an heir to a dukedom before he decided to rule the New Orleans it was given. But still, he stood out different from the way he carried himself, to the way he looked. Broad shoulders, sharp cheekbones and midnight hair. The softness in his blue eyes reserved only for a few people that were important to him gave me comfort after what happened in the class.I asked, “Where is Summer?”“You will meet her at the hotel. We are having dinner together.” I fell in step beside him as he started walking. He said, “I will wait for you to change and get ready.&rdq
EricaAfter a brief discussion and a warning from Gabriel where he scolded me like a child needing to be disciplined, and an argument about me having a bodyguard, I bid goodbye to my small family and made my way toward my dorm building. I was feeling better and warm. Summer always had that effect on me, she was the only one who loved me. She was a mother to me in many ways, always making sure that I got the love that our father didn’t give me. Always there to come sleep beside me when I had suffered from nightmares or when I was afraid that the faceless monsters would come and hurt me.My phone rang as I entered my room and I picked it up after seeing it was Dane. “Hey..”“Hello, how are you?”&
EricaI was brimming with restless energy when I met Dane at the small cafe near my college. The classes were cancelled because of the untimely but well-deserved death of Professor Martinez, and I had nothing else to do except to be gawked at by the students so I decided to call Dane and asked if he’d like to come and meet me. Surprisingly, he said yes.So now here I was sitting outside, under the umbrella and waiting for him. I spotted him on the opposite side of the street and waved at him as he crossed the road and walked toward me. I stood up and gave him a hug that he returned awkwardly.“How are you?” He asked.“You lied to me.”
Erica I entered the frat house on the arm of a boy that I had met only twenty minutes ago. Because I didn’t have anything flashy like other girls I’d find here, I had worn a long sweater with a belt around my waist and another of my pink glittering flats. The boy hadn’t stopped smiling like an idiot since I told him that I wanted to join him. From his eyes I could tell that he was already high and I didn’t judge him for it as I was here to do the same. Since Gina wasn’t going to provide me with what it took to silent the filthy murmurs I needed to find another way so frat house was the one option I came up with. It’s been three days since that spectacle outside the cafe and two days since I even got a blink of a sleep. My stomach was tight with nerves, I was jumpy and my body was going into lockdown and
AntonioI was sipping on my glass of scotch as I read through my texts with the little devil who didn’t know that she was sharing her fantasies with me. And each time I went through those texts, a part of me stirred to life. Chasing her was for the vengeance that I had promised to Gabriel Wolfe a long time ago, but slowly it mixed with the need to make her my prey for pleasurable reasons too. I had given her a choice to come with me on her own, but she chose wrong. And now I’d have to resort to deceiving her and kidnapping her.I hadn’t lied when I had told her that I wanted her safe. After interacting with her, a little part of me wanted tospare her what laid ahead if I got on with my plans that included her. There were two reasons behind why I texted that picture to Gabriel
EricaIt was a slow process, me waking up. At first I felt like there was a heavy weight on my chest pressing me down, my heartbeat was fast and my body was covered in cold sweat, usually I wake up like this when I startle awake from a nightmare but this time I didn’t remember having a nightmare instead it felt like I was in a cold slumber and just woke up.I didn’t know how long I had been asleep but even as I started to come back into consciousness my limbs were heavy, my mouth felt dry and my lips were cracked, and most of the disturbing was that my surroundings were dark which made panic rush into my veins. But then my eyes caught in the beam of light that was coming from the door frame.
EricaI asked, “Why are you doing this?”I didn’t think he would answer me. But he surprised me as he replied, “Because I didn’t like how you talked to me. No one talks to me like that without facing consequences. I gave you a choice, you decided to pick the one that put you against me.”His words were like sharp little jabs at my heart. If my father was here he would say, ‘How many times have I told you to keep your mouth shut? Now you have to suffer for it. That’s what you deserve.’ I swallowed through my darkness and gritted out, “You gave me a choice to be your whore!"“And now you are. Against your wishes, I might add. Bought and paid for. One would think you should have chosen corre
