FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 138: Why Can't I Leave Her Alone?
Slash's POVI only had two days to make preparations and ensure that everything Cassian had requested was ready.Yet here I was, back at the pub, doing nothing but observing that rude lady.What was her name again?Ah, Soraya.Last night, our little argument hadn't ended on a good note.I still couldn't figure out what I had done to upset her when I had offered her more than enough compensation for my behavior.Because of that, I hadn't been able to sleep early.I stayed awake wondering why she hadn't been happy about the money when most people I knew would have jumped up and down at such an offer.It wasn't like I had given her a small amount either.I had been generous.Very generous.So what exactly was her problem?I leaned back against my seat and watched her move between the tables.She was carrying a tray filled with drinks, smiling politely at the customers as she served them.Interesting.So she actually knew how to smile.I had almost convinced myself that the woman was born
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 137: A Smile for the Customers
Soraya's POV"You seriously have to get rid of that cold look on your face. Sweetie, you're scaring our customers."Lady Chi-Chi spoke softly.I took a deep breath and slowly breathed out."I'm sorry, Lady Chi-Chi," I whispered."It's fine."She smiled gently."How about you take a little break and go have a smoke outside?""I don't smoke!" I quickly answered, raising my hands in protest.She laughed softly."Then how about you go outside for some fresh air? Just five minutes."I smiled and nodded."Thank you."I answered in a low voice before walking away.I made my way outside and stood close to the entrance, looking up at the stars with a sad smile.The cool evening air brushed against my skin, making me feel a little better.At least out here, I didn't have to pretend to be happy.I didn't have to smile at people who looked down on me.And I didn't have to worry about someone throwing another insult in my face.I sighed heavily.Money had a dangerous power that I had seen but nev
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 136: The Woman Who Ruined My Evening
Slash's POVI needed a glass of whiskey.Shit, I needed the whole damn bottle.Some music would actually make things even better.I didn't want to sit still at home, and the thought of being in my office when I had so much to think about wasn't going to do me any good.That's why I was at the pub, despite feeling hesitant to get out of my car.I closed my eyes and leaned back against my seat as the image of Cassian leaving my house played in my mind.He had been smiling like a man who had waited his whole life for such a day to come.Nothing I said seemed to get through to him.Not even my warning about Arielle.I understood his need to get back at his father, but using marriage as part of his revenge was something I couldn't agree with.And knowing Cassian, once he made up his mind, convincing him otherwise was almost impossible.I sighed heavily.That bastard was going to give me a headache.A sudden knock on my window startled me."Fuck!"I cursed under my breath and opened my eyes
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 135: A Marriage Bound to Break Hearts
Slash's POV"What the fuck did you just say?" I asked Cassian seriously."My mother was a victim too in all this, brother," he whispered.I stared at him in disbelief. When he knocked on my door looking like shit, I knew something bad must have happened. But I never thought it would be this terrible! That old bastard was truly a monster. How could he destroy two people who should have meant everything to him? His own wife and son. And the worst part was that he had spent years acting like the perfect husband and father in public.I looked at Cassian again. He was sitting on my sofa with his head lowered. His eyes were red, and he looked like someone who hadn't slept in days. I had seen him angry. I had even seen him frustrated and break down. But seeing him like this made me want to drive straight to that old bastard's house and beat the shit out of him.I sighed and moved to sit beside him. "So, brother, don't you think it's time to take our next step?" I asked.He slowly raised his
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 134: Will You Marry Me?
Arielle's POVI walked backward through the shallow water, laughing softly while Cassian watched me with a wide smile.Seeing him like this made me feel relieved.Just a while ago, he had been crying in my arms, looking so broken that I didn't even know how to comfort him properly.But now he was smiling.And that alone made me happy.I had made a promise to him, and it wasn't because I had been caught up in the heat of the moment or because I pitied him.I meant every word.I was going to do my very best to make him happy and stand by his side.Even if things became difficult."Bae, come on in already!" I shouted loudly.He laughed softly and slowly approached me.I couldn't help but smile.I had been very nervous when I first decided to call him by that nickname because I knew how much he had been trying to draw a line between us.But when he didn't tell me to cut it out or warn me never to call him that again, I felt extremely happy.Finally, he was accepting some things I never th
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 133 : Keep Your Promise
Cassian's POV"Cassian."Arielle called softly.She stood outside the car, leaning in with her hand extended toward me.We were at the beach, just as she had wanted.But I felt nothing.Not the ocean, and definitely not even the peaceful surroundings.All I could feel was the hurt sitting heavily inside my chest.I unbuckled my seatbelt as she smiled at me.But her smile faded when I leaned back against my seat and closed my eyes.The breeze blowing through the open car door felt cool, and the scent of the ocean was nice.Sadly, none of it could ease my pain."Bae."That one word instantly made me open my eyes.I sat upright and stared at her in shock.For a second, I wondered if I was imagining things.Maybe my grief was so overwhelming that I had started hearing things.But she smiled widely.She looked at her hand for a second before shifting her gaze back to me."Bae, are you coming along?"This time, she said it a little louder.I forgot to breathe for a second. Then I couldn't
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 3: To Close for Comfort
Arielle's POV"Better," I said to myself as I looked in the mirror.After breakfast and taking a bath, I felt refreshed, and since classes were starting later, I had an hour or so to myself."What to do?" I whispered as I turned and looked at my bed.Instantly, I smirked and rushed to grab my phone
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 2: Hating whatever it is
Arielle's POV"Shit," I whispered when the light morning sun spilled into my room.I felt very restless and extremely fatigued.What could be the reason? I didn't know either, but I felt extremely bothered.Wanting the best for my mother was important to me, but how could she do this to us?She did
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 1: The New Man in the House
Arielle's POVIt was already 8 PM and dark outside; I could see that through the open window and drawn curtains.The air in the small, modest living room crackled with anticipation as I sat beside my older sister, Soraya, who looked very serious.My heart was beating rapidly, and I had a lot of que
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 54: When Fate Finally Spoke
Arielle’s POVSilence came first in my darkness.Not peace. Nor comfort. Just… nothing.The burning in my chest was gone.The suffocating panic, the sharp pain every time I tried to pull in air—it all vanished so suddenly it scared me.I tried to inhale out of habit, but my body didn’t respond.Tha
