Dangerous Heartbeats 24 - Just a little tipsy
♡ Skylar ♡I got out of my car. Gripping my bag tight, I slammed my car's door shut. I turned around, my eyes stopping on the building in front of me. Gold-Kard was peeking out from the rooftops in huge sparkly red letters. I reached for my phone in my bag and dialed Catherine's number immediately. She answered the call on the first ring."Hey babes," she yelled over the loud music. I blocked out my other ear at how loud she was."I'm about to come in, where are you?""Uh by the counter, you'll see me once you get there, okay? It's so loud in here","What did you say?" She yelled.She could have just stood up from where she was.Sighing in irritation, I nodded as though she could see me."Okay, I'm heading in now"I returned the phone to my bag and zipped it up before walking up to the entrance. One hour should be enough to build the foundation for her trust and I'm getting my ass out of this place.The interior was nothing like the outside. Now I understand why she was yelling like

♡ Skylar ♡Beep. Beep. Beep.The incessant, increasingly annoying sound of whatever it was, slowly brought me awake. I turned around in my bed, pulling the blankets with me as I reached out for my phone. The phone continued to ring as I searched for it on the table, still groggy from sleep, My head hurt like hell, my hand suddenly hit something and it came crashing to the floor.The sound had all iota of sleep disappearing from me and I sat up. I stared down at the shattered picture frame of Aurora and sighed.Beep. Beep. Beep.Fucking stupid alarm. I grabbed my phone and turned it off immediately. Brushing my scattered hair back, I pulled away the comforters and got on my feet.The throbbing pain in my head increased and a wince escaped my lips as I soothed my temples with my finger.How the hell did I get home last night? I remember getting wasted and not finding Catherine. Wasn't it suspicious that she disappeared all of a sudden? How did I even get so drunk easily? If the bitch had
Dangerous Heartbeats 26 - Suite issues
♡ Alfred ♡"What do you mean by only one suite?" Skylar snapped."Well, these days our rooms are usually sold out, and you're only lucky if you make a reservation early.""I'm sorry ma'am" the lady added, bowing slightly. "It's fine, we'll take the suite. Check us in, please. " I smiled at her, and she nodded, turning towards her laptop.Skylar grabbed my arms and turned me to look at her. "Are you insane? I'm not staying in the same room as you. ""Let's just find another hotel or better still find a ride home."I stared at her, a vacuous look on."We can't. It's past eight, and besides, I'm famished,""Finding another hotel is like an hour's journey, and trust me, Amore, I'm not ready to walk that long,"Her lips parted as she stared at me in disbelief and frustration. She turned sideways, running her fingers through her hair while muttering something inaudibly."Sir," the lady called.I winked at Skylar and turned back to the lady."Room 192, floor 5" I nodded, grabbed the keys,
Dangerous Heartbeats 27 - My girl
The next morning...♡ Skylar ♡I had woken up a few hours earlier because once again, I couldn't sleep. I was sure I already had eye bags from lack of sleep and even crying myself to bed yesterday. Yeah, the thought of getting over with my past was just an illusion. 'Honestly, I'm trying, but it's hard when everything he does sparks an emotion in me, and I become a mess again and again. It's not love, I'm just hurt.'Anyway, I took my bath, and thanks to the go-to mini makeup kit I carry in my handbag, I applied enough powder to hopefully try to conceal my dark eyes. I let my hair fall to my shoulder instead of my usual ponytail and then slipped into the perfect fitted pantsuit Alfred had bought. It was a perfect fit. I neatly folded the previous day's clothes into the shopping bag, put on my low heels, and sat back on the one-seater in the room, busying myself with a game.I heard a knock on the door and I looked up from my phone."It's time to leave, I called for a ride already,"
Dangerous Heartbeats 28 - Seven words
♡ Skylar ♡Alfred smirked, walking closer to us until he was a few feet away."Why would I be joking, Amore?" He asked softly. Without waiting for my reply, he squatted, turning to Aurora while smiling innocently, his dimple popping out."How are you, little one?""I'm fine." She stretched her word and released herself from my grip, throwing her arms around his neck for a hug. Alfred craned his neck to get a view of me and smirked."I hate you," I mouthed, raising my fists in a threatening manner, but he just found it amusing that he laughed. Aurora pulled away to look at him. "Are you coming with us for our dinner? Please come, " she pouted.He frowned."Your mommy doesn't want me to"My eyes widened at how innocent he sounded. How could he act so innocent?"Mommy, please, will Mr Handsome come with us?" She grabbed my hand, forcing me to look at her. I unwillingly took my eyes off Alfred, my gaze meeting hers. Her blue eyes and pouty lips immediately melted me."Say yes, say yes,"
Dangerous Heartbeats 29 - Dead it
♡ Alfred ♡"It's so nice to have everyone here." Dad released a throaty laugh."Isn't it?" Aiden snickered in reply."So, Alfred, how's the company doing?" Mom asked, turning to look at me."Good," I mumbled, picking up my fork."Is something wrong?" She asked softly."I'm fine,""If you messed something up in the company, you had better talk now rather than sulk like a teenager," Aiden retorted."We are used to cleaning your mess anyways," He added, scoffing quietly. My grip on the fork tightened as I looked up at him boredly."Pained much, brother?"He rolled his eyes. "I'd spend my time doing something better,""Good gracious, you both don't start tonight," Mom exclaimed, and I rolled my eyes, returning my gaze to the food I had barely touched.Arielle nudged me, and I spared her a glance."Hey, are you good?" She whispered. I forced a smile, nodding my head. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, but she nodded, probably deciding not to push it."LDN's Hotel is aiming to be the top ho
Dangerous Heartbeats 30 - Break his heart
♡ Skylar ♡I stood by the glass wall in my office, holding a cup of hot coffee in my right hand and my phone on the left.Catherine's picture was displayed on the screen. A portrait picture of her half facing the camera. She was wearing a black thin-strap backless dress, her makeup modest, and her hair packed in a ponytail. I breathed out, dropping my hand to my side as I brought the cup to my lips and took a gulp. I could make out the door being pulled open as I drank the contents of the cup. I turned around immediately, tucking my phone in my pocket as I dropped the cup on the table."Samantha?" I called, my eyes narrowing in surprise as I watched her waltz in, slamming the door behind her."What are you doing here?""You never visit, "I added, crossing my arms to rest on my stomach. She scoffed, stopping in front of my table."You are such an ingrate, aren't you?"I rolled my eyes, uncrossing my arms. I took my seat on the chair, pushing it backward so I could get a better view

Break his heart in the cruelest way you can think of.It was that simple. Or was it? Honestly, it was a great idea, but how could I make him fall in love with me without risking my heart as well? Hannah had known this and that was why she decided to teach me the art of seduction or whatever it is she had called it but just like how I turned the offer to get Jake in love with me, I turned this down too.One was because I could not and the other was because I had just told him to get the fuck out of my life, now how was I supposed to tell him I didn't mean that?Samantha was right.
