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
Dangerous Heartbeats 31 - First step to revenge
♡ Skylar ♡I didn't understand what Hannah had meant until she broke it down to me. In her words, a simple three steps. Befriend him. Make him fall in love with you. 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. I had pride. I mean what was I supposed to do now? He even went through the normal business process just to tell me we were going to New Hampshire tomorrow. He really did take my words seriously. ☆I walked into my house, totally stressed out f

The Next Day...♡ Skylar ♡I pulled my car to a stop just beside Alfred's. My phone vibrated, and I picked it up from the front passenger's seat. Arielle's name was displayed on the screen.I answered the call, placing it over my ear."Hey Arielle, did you get my text last night?""Yes, I did, I already picked Aurora up from school,"I sighed in relief."Thank you, Ari, I owe you a lot,""It's fine, it's my job anyway,""Okay then, you both have fun, I'll be back tomorrow morning,""Sure! Have a safe trip. ""Thanks," I replied and hung up.I grabbed my bag and pulled open the zipper, carefully placing my phone in it. I zipped it back and glanced outside the window. Alfred was standing by his car, his face buried in his phone. He hadn't even turned to spare my car a glance since I drove in. Dude took my warning seriously. I exhaled and inhaled as I stared at his figure.I can do this. Just make up a reason I hate him and call a truce. Make him fall and break his heart.Nothing can ab
Dangerous Heartbeats 33 - Uncanny resemblance
♡ Alfred ♡When Skylar had asked to stay out of her life, I was prepared to do that even if it was going to be a hard task and that was why I had set up a meeting with her through the normal business process. But seeing her pull her car to a stop beside mine was threatening to break every control I had. I had pretended to be on my phone, purposely not looking at her.And it had been even worse when I noticed her half limping after our hectic day on the site. I was completely surprised she had not snapped at me and instead tried to start a conversation. In all, I hadn't expected her to apologize."I figured I made assumptions about you based on rumors I heard," I mean, it's kind of believable. I know how the internet can manipulate you to hate or love someone. But hers didn't feel like just the internet, and I sincerely was having a hard time believing her. But anyway, at least she wasn't passing me death stares."You are still not allowed to call me Amore or Love though," she said, w
Dangerous Heartbeats 34 - Ring a bell
♡ Skylar ♡"I guess all you needed was a talk from Samantha," Mom muttered as I walked into the living room. I stopped in front of Dad and bowed slightly and then turned to Mom, doing the same thing."I'm sorry for walking out of dinner," I said slowly, glancing between them."I could have found a more polite way to disagree, and I apologize for it,"Looking back at Dad, I forced a small smile."I know you've done so much already, bringing me in and helping me up to this point, but I'm sorry I can not get married to Jake." "I hope you can accept my decision and sincerely forget about this marriage topic, but if you are so bent on it, Samantha can always not say no."I took in my bottom lip as an awkward silence rented the room. I know I shouldn't have said the last statement but I just can't help it."Did you practice this before you came here?" Mom chuckled, breaking the silence. "Huh?" I looked at her in surprise Did I sound like I had practiced my statement? Maybe I did."Skyla
Dangerous Heartbeats 35 - Drunk Catherine
♡ Skylar ♡"No, not again!"I dragged my feet tiredly into the living room. Arielle and Aurora were seated on the tiled floor, their legs crossed. I peeled off my slippers and fell to the couch, facing the white spotless ceiling with my legs dangling off the couch."What are you both up to again?" I groaned playfully. "Uh, we were just playing a game," Arielle replied. I nodded tiredly, turning to the side so I could watch them."Aurora, it's getting late. You should go to sleep. You have school tomorrow,"She frowned."But tomorrow is Saturday,"My eyes widened. Wow, I didn't know the week had ended so fast yet again.Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she uncrossed her legs, got on her feet, and rushed to me. She squatted beside me."Mommy, did you know that Ari is Mr. Handsome sister?"I nodded."So would he come here tomorrow? He has to teach me how to draw that cat""Can the four of us go to the park after that?" She pouted, clasping her hands in a pleading manner as she gave me he
Dangerous Heartbeats 36 - Just the cat
♡ Skylar ♡My alarm rang for what felt like the fourth time. Echoing through the room and disturbing my peaceful morning. I turned in my bed, pulling away the comforter as I sat upright. I peeled off the sleep mask yawning loudly.The sun had risen, and the sun rays filtered through the blinds right on my face. Squinting my eyes, I crawled out of my bed, slipped into my slippers, and headed into the bathroom. Turning open the faucet, I splashed some water on my face just enough to get the sleep completely out.I had a hard time bringing Catherine home last night, and when I finally got to sleep, it was past midnight. Thankfully, the sleep mask Hannah had bought me was useful today after tucking it away for weeks. Catherine's words rang in my head again."Valerie was gone, I thought I'd finally have him, but he still didn't look my way. Mourning that slut after everything she put him through "I crossed my arms, leaning on the wall.Why was he mourning? Didn't he make that call? Didn'
