Her face was unreadable as my lips were on my hand. I covered half of her face and kissed my hand but if she comprehended, she didn’t look like I kissed my hand. She looked like I kissed her lips.Her face was getting warm but my other hand was on her waist. Her body was getting cold. She didn’t expect that at all. Nor did I. When I hovered over her for the first time, I felt an overwhelming urge to do it again. I was curious. I wanted to see her face getting numb again. But it seems like I shocked her a bit too much. I removed my hand and sat back in my seat. I started the car and drove to where we were supposed to go as she was silent the whole time. If I had been on her for more than that, she would have fainted. —I got out of the car. As I opened the to her side to open the door, she came out on her own, standing at an awkward distance from me. Her face was still red. I signaled one of the guards to come close. “Get the male staff away from the hall room,” I said, pointing at
My mind started setting on a time when no cruelty was visible to me in this world. A world where Winter was the only season when I felt the need to go out in the garden, roll in the season as a great need to feel happy started filling the void in my chest. I was ten years old and Dante was eight. He was sent to a boarding school and I was left with my grandfather to mourn the loss of my father and mother. Instead of mourning, I devastated my mercy and harbored a passion for knives. “Young Master, you’ll hurt yourself.” The maids used to warn me. Blood used to ooze out of my hand as I held the knife tighter wishing it was the throat of someone whose death will please me. My life has a colorless start, unlike every kid. I knew my fate was tight to the mafia. I didn’t despise that I just wanted something more out of it that didn’t only include guns and blood. I wanted legacy out of it. I wanted people to throw themselves in the fire to want me back when I died. I bled until my bl
I held his head tight in place afraid that he might just start breathing unusually again. His hands were on my waist. His grip was softer than before. His breathing was normal now but his body was getting cold. His hands were almost ice. I wonder if he was still conscious though. The way he started to issue the panic attack I almost got scared. It seemed like he didn’t know he was getting a panic attack. He wasn’t used to it.I did what I usually did with Josh. He used to get panic attacks very often in the past. As a child, I was clueless about what I should do. So the best part of me told me to hug him and I did. It always calmed him down. He said it helped a lot. That is what I did with Zohan. Except that his reaction was far worse than Josh’s. Panic attacks always had a cause that triggered a somewhat memory. I wonder what triggered him. I didn’t even know if anything could trigger him.I was about to adjust my seat when he raised his head. His head dangled slightly but he still
The grip on my hands that he instilled while he dragged me mercilessly across the hall downstairs was causing a bruise. He was using a little of his power and yet he almost crushed my hand.The look in his eyes when I slapped him told me enough that I had, unfortunately, unlocked his demonic side. For the past few days, he was quite normal, I suppose. Ever since he came back from the orphanage, his aura changed completely. What in the world triggered him?As he dragged me, I tried to ring out of his grip but it was no use. I had no idea where he was taking me. The hallway that led to the garage had lots of mirrors that showed him taking me down. If he had taken me from one of the other corridors I could have asked Dante for help. They were still in the drawing room. After the garage, he took me to a dark hallway, passing by the red room to a huge coffee-cushioned door. He stopped there and kicked open which revealed a room. Not a room, it was a torture cell.I was horrified when I
The silk-cloth-clad balcony door was left wide open. The breeze was soft yet it prickled the skin uncovered. The moon was hidden behind clouds, and the sky let out its wrath wanting to destroy the creature who sat undisturbed, gazing at the petite, pale figure in front of him. The figure was unconscious lying in a soft bed of luxury which held no worth whilst she had suffered a near-to-death experience a while ago. Zohan had his legs on the bed and body on the black couch while eyeing the result of his cruelty. She was fragile yet she was so fierce. She felt like a force of nature. Unstoppable. Irresistible. She did everything in her might to prove that she was not bound to obey him. Only if she knew that he was the very person who would destroy that feeling in her, he eyed her while she is unconscious. Did he have to do this? Was it needed?But no questions ran in his mind. He did not allow it. The only words that echoed in his ears were his grandfather's words. “You’re getting s
The eyes that used to look at her with kindness and curiosity at first now turn rigid and cold. The feeling of being stared into the soul with nothing but an empty void yet feeling the intensity of hate burned Gloria’s heart. She did not hate him nor did she love him. She did not even spend enough time for him to let her know a little. Just a little. He locked her up and forced her into marrying him yet her naive heart could not hate him. So rather than hating him she hated herself for that. He stood at the door with his hand in his pocket and his dark locks messed on his head. His eyes were red as if a storm were to appear in the sky. The man was magnificent in every way possible. Whatever he did, he managed to charm everyone through it. It was not his arrogance or his exterior, it was his mere existence that made him so irresistible. He took slow steps toward the broken figure in front of him. She did not want to, but the fear took over her heart as she backed away slightly seei
While the rain poured there was not much to think about but Zohan’s mind was filled with thoughts. His brain kept repeating moments back from his childhood when there was peace and contentment for him. Though he had realized that early that he was the destiny of Carnival and no matter what he had to and will be tied to the brutality of the underground. So, instead of being swallowed by it, he devoured it. There was not a night where he did not feel the need to destroy the world. It threw his way every sort of cruelty possible and expected him to act against it. He did, but with no one beside him. The power he had gained from being broken again and again and correcting himself, again and again, was something so very dangerous it resulted in his heart turning cold. Zohan was looking up at the ceiling. He was sure what he was doing was right and the pleasure it bought him was what he deserved. His innocence was killed. Just a little more by his grandfather.The door was knocked on as
She was throwing her hands at him and was pushing his chest but he didn’t even bulge. He indulged himself in the luxury of desire. She knew she wouldn’t be able to stop him but she cannot let it happen either. He was savoring in madness. His eyes were drunk as if he could not stop himself. She whimpered and shouted. When he realized that the couch was small for them, he stood up. Looking down at her terrified state, he smirked. He seemed to enjoy seeing her vulnerable under him. Despite her protests, he picked her up on his shoulder and went out of the room. She was shouting for help yet no one came to the rescue. Before he came here, he dismissed everyone from the house, even Alice. He knew that he might just do something that Alice might just not let happen. He must not leave his trance until he satisfies his inner beast. When he reached his bedroom, he didn’t even bother to lock the room as he threw her on the bed. The poor girl crawled behind seeing his eyes. He was going to
