FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 6: Trapped in thoughts
Arielle’s POVI lay on my bed, exhaling deeply as if I had been holding my breath for days. The walls of my bedroom had always felt familiar, like a shield—but now they felt like a trap.It was very late, yet I couldn't hear anyone's voice. Usually, Evelyn and Raya were noisy whenever they came into the house."Please, anyone," I whispered softly.I was hoping for their return because I didn't know what to say or do if Cassian came knocking on my door."Shit!" Soraya's voice came through the passage.I quickly sat upright with a wide smile.She opened my bedroom door without a care and walked towards me, taking off her shoes lazily and flopping onto my bed while yawning.“Ugh, remind me to never cover that lady's shift again. I swear the late-night weirdos only come out for me,” she whined as I rolled my eyes."Yet you keep on doing it. Also, it wouldn't kill you to knock, you know," I said seriously, then moved to the edge of my bed, fingers clenched around the hem of my hoodie.I wa
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 5. Under the steamy shower
Arielle’s POVI lay on my bed, tangled in sheets that I couldn't bring myself to fix. My mind was restless, and my heart beat louder than ever.Cassian.That name had become a curse for me.Every time I blinked, it was him I saw. The way he moved and smirked whenever things went his way. The way his dark, tousled hair shifted whenever he made a move. The low chuckle and rumble of his voice.And God! Those tattoos I was never meant to notice.I rolled over, pressing a pillow to my chest with a heavy sigh.Why the hell was I thinking about that jerk?He was definitely going overboard with his words and deliberately trying to get a reaction from me to make himself laugh.Wait, he wasn't just any jerk; he was my stepfather, and that thought alone made me feel terrible.I was beginning to hate myself for noticing him in a different way and for beginning to feel like this.I was trying so hard, but I couldn't help but remember the way his eyes had lingered on me too long when I asked him th
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 4: Confession in the Dark
Arielle's POV A few days had gone by, and I was trying my very best to ignore and avoid Cassian. Raya was now usually coming home late, and her excuse was, "I'm doing two shifts since my bestie Kayla sometimes goes to take care of her sick mother." I understood her, but I also felt very uncomfortable being alone with Cassian, who, to me, was officially a freeloader. Yes, no matter his looks and handsome face, he had no job, and he was always at home. It was now clear as day to me why he married Evelyn. It was because of her money! She wasn't rich, but neither was she poor. I didn't know if Raya saw what I did. That's why I hoped she would have an off day when we could have a genuine chat."This sucks," I whispered as I stood up from my bed. The power had gone out, and it was dark outside as thunder rolled in the distance, rumbling like some warning, but inside the house, there was silence. The only light that came through came from the pale moon filtering through the bedroom wind
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, which was there.There was no better way to entertain oneself without the internet; at least that's how it was for me.As soon as I unlocked it, I frowned deeply. My phone battery was flat, and that was all thanks to Evelyn.She could afford a phone charger, yet she refused to buy one and always kept mine prisoner in her study.It was no big deal most of the time, but at times it was a little unbearable.I sighed heavily and slowly walked out of my room to go to her study. Once I reached the door, I wrapped my hand around the doorknob and pushed it open.Instantly, I held my breath. Cassian stood by the window with a phone to his ear. He wasn’t wearing a shirt anymore. He wore a black tank
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 didn't even dare to explain to me where she had met Cassian when Raya left!Was she dating him all this time? If so, then what was her reason for hiding their relationship?Was she scared of our reaction after how we had supported her throughout the years?We urged her to move on and be happy, even in love. We understood how she loved our father with all her heart, but sadly he was gone, and that was something that could never be undone.I walked down the stairs with a sigh, gently tugging on my oversized T-shirt that brushed the tops of my bare thighs. I instantly paused halfway, my hands clutching the railing when I heard a deep male voice coming from the kitchen below.Cassian.I couldn’t se
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 questions going through my mind. Our mother, Evelyn, had called a family meeting—something she never did unless it was very serious.To say I was nervous was an understatement; I felt scared because the last time she had called such a meeting was when Dad was in the ICU.Unlike the last time when I had to rush to the hospital with my sister dressed in pajamas, this time I had dressed in my casual clothes while my sister wore her favorite dress. It was stupid of us, but we were thinking ahead, and perhaps the same thing, and I felt like we were more than prepared this time."I'm glad you are both here," she said softly, then cleared her throat. She stood behind the dining room's table, tall and
