Se connecterHow did I get home last night? I stared at the wall of my office in plain blankness. When I awoke, the first thing I saw was the ceiling of my bedroom. I lived in an apartment just a street away from my work place. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't remember getting home myself. However, I was glad that I was able to but I was also skeptical; whoever it was that helped me knew exactly where I lived, and though they didn't do anything to me, it was concerning. But, I bit on my thumb nail, folded my arms as a frown crossed my brows and began to pace, wouldn't Kiean be mad? Will he kill me now? I broke the forced agreement first. Will he go after the people I cherished? Will he kill Chrysielle? All manner of negative thoughts spawn in my head as I grabbed a handful of my hair in frustration. What have I done? What have I donee? I dropped to the floor and bit on my nail harder till I tasted blood but that didn't bother me. Should I just go b
I collapsed to the ground as a demon-summoning guttural sound erupted from me, emptying every single substance from my stomach. I crouched over the gutter, wrenching like an indigested feline. My chest heaved in and out rhythmically, I couldn't control the trembling of my hands and with every nocturnal sound that pierced the atmosphere, I flinched, throwing my head about like a psych patient. I huffed out, struggling to lean on my cane so I could stand straight, but not until a wicket pain shot up my disabled limb and sent me crumbling to the ground again. I had ran with it without giving it a second thought and this was the repercussion. With that, it began to vibrate against my will and soon, my body followed. My spine hurt, my heart bled and my head felt like it was being hit with a baseball bat. The walls of my mouth felt parched and I tried clasping a sweaty, glitchy hand over the other continuously. Tears flowed from my burning eyes as I tried to keep myself fro
"Did you or did you not?" I looked at Kiean when he spoke again, but this time, he was referring to Kendrick. It brought me to a realization that Kiean was indeed screwed up in his head but he apparently cared for his siblings... only it was in a very twisted manner. He had weaknesses, but I wouldn't call it that. Having someone you cared about could make you vulnerable when targeted but in Kiean's case, those weaknesses were his strengths. In a way, they didn't really give openings for him to become easy target. Unconsciously, I placed my thumb to my lips and began to bite into it. If I could get to their sister, I could use her as an exchange for mine. Where was the wrong? They were doing the same to me. I would only use her to set Chrysielle free and buy back my freedom. 'Now, who the hell are you kidding?' The annoying voice came back. 'You wouldn't hurt a human being.' 'I don't intend to hurt her, I just want to use her.' 'You shouldn't do something you wo
I pulled the blinds in my office a little to the right before peeking an eye out the window. Night had fallen and there was still no sight of the maniac. No, don't get me wrong, I wasn't waiting for him or anything, I'd just finished with a new patient and I didn't want to leave immediately so it won't seem like I was running away. I mean, what if he has men lurking in the shadows to keep tabs on me? I glanced at the wall clock. It was far past eight. On second thought, I might as well just leave and blame it on him for not arriving earlier. A woman should know when and how to use emotions to work in her favor. 'On second thought, that might not work and you might actually die' said a voice in my head. I snorted and straightened to my feet. I picked my cane and approached the door. 'Who said trying was illegal?' 'Uhm, I'm not sure you noticed but haven't you seen him? What part of him screams legal?' 'Shut up' I might be going insane because I was arguing wit
"Cous, are you listening?" Adelle frowned at me, with her lips pursed. "You've been zoning out ever since I started talking. "Ah, I'm sorry." I stuttered, trying to collect my thoughts. "What were you talking about again?" Adelle had come to find me as soon as she was done with her afternoon study. She offered that we spend sometime out. At first, I didn't want to give in but she grabbed my hand and kept jumping like a giant toddler. At that point, I knew I couldn't bring up the admission annulment. She narrowed her eyes at me and drew closer. Then, she placed her arms on my elbow and peered into my face. "Are you okay? Aren't you getting enough sleep? Why are the bags under your eyes becoming worse?" In response, my eyes averted from hers and scanned the environment. Her hands tightened over my elbows in a squeeze. "Cous, is there something you aren't telling me?" I sighed before giving her my attention. "Apart from being a part of my work as my personal assis
KENDRICK I stood with my hands clasped behind my back as Kiean's gaze scanned the entirety of my being before he laid his glass of whiskey to the glass table before him. "Did you carry out an additional assignment from the one given?" I glanced at the minimally dressed woman on top of him who pleasured herself into riding his groin and was one second away from stripping herself totally, before turning to hold his expressionless stare. "Only personal." The Veiled Club was someplace Kiean constantly frequented. He didn't seem to enjoy being here so I didn't understand why he spent most of his time hanging out with it's heavily painted, barely covered women who seemed to heavily desire encasing him in their bosoms. The place was loud, filled with multiple flashes of light with different hues of amber and a lot of speakers exploding out meaningless words people mistook for music. The Neon lights didn't help matters too. I despised coming here but my older brother and Don
