LOGINI rolled my tongue and met her gaze.Her eyes held more moisture now.“That hit deep, doesn’t it? I should congratulate you. You’re indeed fearless to raise a finger at me.”I gave a mocking smile.“Fearless?” she said, and laughed.The switch was so smooth it triggered me, but I stayed composed.How she went from almost teary to this all over again.She clicked her tongue and turned to me.“It takes nothing to slap you… calling it fearless makes you more delusional than I thought you were.”I cursed inwardly.What is the matter with the bitch acting like she is the owner of this city?I have never had such a long conversation with an enemy I have to eliminate, and here I am arguing like some bitch because of this bitch.“I do respect you, Venom.”She said it with a shrug.“Apart from that bastard Zayne, I know you won’t be so easy to deal with.”She then sighed as though this was just a game to her.“You were the only one in this rotten city who actually used her brain instead of her
“What are you waiting for? Go on,” she said softly at first, then louder, sharper. “Hit me.” I put my fist down slowly. Her lips curved into a smirk. “Oh look you wouldn't dare.” The Vince bitch was messing with me. I didn’t hit her—not because I couldn’t, but because I’m still trying to understand Zayne. One careless step, and it would become a much bigger problem. She suddenly laughed under her breath and folded her arms. “Are you scared?” she added, tilting her head. “Scared of what happens after? I expected so much from you, what a pity". My jaw tightened. “You think Zayne will protect you?” I asked, finding my voice. “You really believe he’s stupid enough to fall for this little trick of yours?” “Oh, he’s not only stupid,” she said, stepping closer. “He’s just… ruined. He’s emotionally down, and I’m going to use that to tame him and break him". It seems she isn't hiding anything anymore. Her fingers brushed her own lips. “The bastard craves me,” she whispe
I opened my mouth to say something but I was completely out of words. "Oh I am sure the owner of this city will smile at the sight of a lowlife bitch bullying his precious, Aria." My blood boiled. "Owner?" I snarled, stepping into her space, using my height to try and dwarf her. However, she didn't back up nor feel small by the way she acted. I didn't expect this confrontation to be easy anyway but the fact that I am arguing like a bitch with this bitch makes me even more angry. I don't do talks like some fragile bitch. Killing her shouldn't be that hard. "You think too highly of yourself if you believe you're more important to Zayne than me. I've known him for years. He is my bloody cousin you, slut! I've bled for him. Killed for him. What have you done? Spread your legs and played damsel in distress? Precious Aria, you think Zayne is the kind of man who is easily swayed by beauty? I can kill you and feed you to my pets right in front of him and he won't bat an eye!" Her smi
All of a sudden the trembling of her lips stopped and the tears vanished as if they had never existed. Manipulative bitch whore. Her tongue darted out, swiping across her split lip, tasting her own blood without flinching. "You done?" she asked. Her voice was different now, finally showing her true self, I guess. I didn't answer. My chest was still heaving, my fists still clenched, but something cold was beginning to coil in my stomach. I don't fear her but I definitely worry about how much effect eliminating her will have on Zayne. "You're not worth the mess," I heard myself say and stepped back, putting distance between us, trying to reclaim some sense of control. The room suddenly felt too large and too small at the same time and the whole space was suffocating with my frustration. The bitch laughed and wiped the blood from her lip with the back of her hand, smearing a thick red fluid across her pale skin. "Backing away? That's what I thought," she said and ro
Outside, I walked down the hospital corridor, fighting back tears. I can't let anyone see me this emotional. His words came back ringing in my ears. (I have accepted my fate. I know a lot of people I have wronged will be after my life. I know I have a short time left. So I decided to focus on making my dream come true before I go. You talk about power and protection. It doesn't do anything to wash away the guilt and nightmares tormenting me each time I make a dark decision. You will never understand how it feels being torn between two worlds. Living a life to be feared and to be in charge was my father's wish. Not mine. I want to be happy. My days are few... can I at least live a little before I go?) You ain't going anywhere idiot. You could have the best life here,with as many brides as you wish...and children. Brides that will make you willing to lead and fight not that bitch who is a poison to slow you down. I brushed off my tears. I will get rid of her, that's the
Using that moment as a distraction, the doctor tried to crawl out of the door, leaving a thick, glistening trail of blood across the white tiles like a dying slug. Idiot still fighting to escape. I moved to him on pure instinct. My hand shot out, fingers twisting into his sweat-soaked hair, and I slammed his face into the wall. The sound of it felt like a melon splitting. Wet and brutal. He crumpled with a broken groan, blood smearing beneath his ruined face. I wiped my bloody knuckles on my thigh, chest heaving in fury. “Tell me who sent you or I swear I’ll burn every traitor in this organization until the rats crawl out from the ashes. Starting with whoever’s paying you to poison Zayne. I am no in a good mood, so don’t you dare stutter.” I roared above him. Zayne exhaled slowly behind me, running a tired hand through his disheveled hair. “Interrogate him. But keep him alive. For now.” I spun on him, fury igniting in my chest like gasoline. “Keep him
ARIA'S POV I laid down on the bed, waiting for Daniel as he had instructed. My eyes were closed, as I hoped to enjoy this moment without the thought of Titan messing it all up. I had loved Daniel all my life before Titan came along. I had fantasized about this moment, and I should probably make
“I’m counting on it. Bastard.” I replied. His fingers dug deeper into my neck, not quite cutting off my air but enough to make black dots creep at the edges of my vision. While his nails scraped the skin like claws, leaving crescents of pain. “Look at you,” he hissed against my ear, his br
“Ahhhh!”Aria screamed as her chest still rose and fell in jagged pulls of air. The echo of the shock hummed in her veins like venom, every nerve ending raw. Her lips trembled, but she clenched her teeth hard enough to taste iron, refusing to give Zayne the satisfaction of another cry.Daniel sta
He pulled his clothes off, and she found fresh bruises on his back. However, that was certainly none of her business. Once he had got rid of the stained clothes, he walked to the corner of the room and sat on his high chair—like a throne—with his elbow resting lazily on the armrest,and his finger p
