Lucas unexpectedly arrived in the most uncomfortable situation. He seemed shocked to see me there, but more shocked to see his friend, Knight. I thought that he must’ve really declined the idea of visiting his old friend that they were this shocked.I smiled wickedly at Lucas when he sat beside Amos. He’s staring at me like I'm some sort of weird creature, as always.He cleared his throat before saying something. "Nice to see you here, Mr. CEO."Knight didn’t even look at him. He’s just holding the glass of rum, and the way he holds it looks like it’ll explode in his hand at any moment."Come on, young man. Loosen up. The night isn’t even starting. " Amos said while pouring the last bits of rum.I stared at Knight, trying to sense what they were up to."What’s wrong with him?" I asked the two.They just stared at me. Amos, with a slight grin on his face, and Lucas, who defensively avoided my eyes. I rolled my eyes and jugged my rum."So were you still waiting for someone or what?" I a
"Athena! Come the fvck down! "I heard him grunt while he was slightly slowing down. I spread my arms and felt the wind."This is fun, Knight!" I laughed.I felt him touch my buttocks. I giggled and shouted at the top of my lungs."I am free!" I screamed."Fvcking come down, Athena. I swear! "I laughed more at his warnings. As if I’m scared of him. We passed by the wide field. The wind became stronger. My hair is being swayed by the wind, dancing and enjoying the moment. Suddenly, it felt like a movie. A classic piece of music is playing in my head, and I'm feeling a little emotional as I look out the window at the beautiful scenery.I’ve never felt this way before. For some reason, I feel free. I feel like I can do anything that I want. Even if I’m pretending, I can be anything that I want in front of him.I became silent as I watched the moon. I smiled and let the emotion fill me. The car slowed down until it fully stopped.Knight snatched my arms and pulled me down. His angry face
"You are a curse!""But I love you. Isn’t that enough for you? ""Love ain’t enough. At least with this narrative that we have. You fooled me! You are a liar! I hate you! ""Come back!"I gasped for breath when I opened my eyes. What was that? Did I just dream of a movie or something? And who are those people?"Ugh!" I groaned and palmed my face.I slept soundly. Maybe also because of too much liquor intake that day. I did all that I could to fix myself before going out of the room. I wasn’t able to roam around the villa last night because I was too sleepy. I just found a room and settled myself.So when I got out of the room, I was still a bit confused about the routes or whatsoever. I smelled the appetizing scent of something, so I followed it.I heard some rustling noises from somewhere and followed it.When I peeked at the arch, I saw the image of Knight, topless and looking fresh.I stood there, watching him with my curiosity. He’s back? Did he go back last night? Where did he go?
We went by the shore after our breakfast. Actually, I had to find something to do so I could drop the jealousy topic. So while he’s taking a bath, I decided to go to the shore and settled for just walking and damping my feet. He came as well, after he took a bath.He’s now wearing a muscle tee paired with board shorts. His hair is still a bit damp."You don’t want to swim?" he asked.I removed my gaze from him because I realized I was gawking at him. I shook my head before answering."No, I don’t know how to swim. You’re forgetting that I grew up in the city," I said."I can teach you," he offered.I shrugged. "No, I’m fine. Maybe some other time. ""Yeah, we’ll come back here."My eyes stopped. I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I decided to just walk away from him. As expected, he followed me. With my small strides, he trailed me."When did you aquired this villa?" I asked without looking back at him."Not too long,""You take your women here?""You’re the only one I bought he
"Damn whipped!" Lucas uttered it silently yet with diction.I turned my gaze to Athena, who was going to the kitchen to get a drink. I can’t help but notice her all the time. Damn it."Shut the fvck up, both of you." I uttered, trying to be careful not to be heard.Amos laughed and shook his head while Lucas was still looking at me so amused. I swear, I’m gonna kill this bastard if he doesn’t stop acting like this.I jugged the rest of the rum before I glared at the both of them. I lifted a finger and pointed them out."Stop with your bullsh!ts, both of you.""What?" Lucas asked defensively, trying not to laugh."Stop throwing shades or else I’m going to fvcking slit your throat." I said, full of grim.Lucas avoided my gaze and even grabbed Amos’ arm and held it like a kid. I clenched my jaw in frustration."And you, old man. Are you trying to play with me, huh? Can’t you keep your sh!ts to yourself? " I sneered at him.He smirked. The fine lines on his face showed up."I’m just tryin
Call. That woke me up.I saw that darkness had reigned on the outside already. After the situation with Knight and I in the living room, we ended up here in his room. I awoke from a deep sleep, and my heart is still palpitating quietly.Knight is sleeping soundly beside me. With my sleepy eyes, I reached for my phone at the bedside. I saw that it was a call from Erin. My heartbeat increased its rate. This is unusual. Erin would never call me, especially since she knows I’m out with our victim.With a worried mind, I answered it quickly."Why?" I asked."Athena,"Hearing her crying voice made me even more nervous. I glanced at Knight, who was still asleep. I removed his arms above my stomach, trying to be careful. I succeeded. I sat on the bed while looking for the pieces of my clothes."What happened? Tell me," I said, sounding so eager but still careful not to wake Knight up."I’m sorry to call you right now. But Milo... " She sobbed.I palmed my face after wearing my underwear."Wha
I looked at myself in the full length mirror. I wore the red flowy dress and scanned myself without any emotion. Big day today.I feel sick today, honestly. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve skipped some of my meals because of too much overthinking or that I only have a tiny bit of strength left in me today.I sighed. I pursed my lips and wore my red lip stick as usual. This is for good luck. I need big luck today. I badly need one.I ignored it, seeing my phone ringing and lighting up beside me. I don’t want to take calls today. I’m having internal turmoil. I need to be on character, or else, I’ll be fvcked up and all of our plans will go to waste.This must’ve been the biggest scam I’ve done so far. And I’m afraid that if this succeeds, we’ll do more. With all the chaos that’s going on around me, I don’t think my conscience is working well with me right now.For almost half an hour, I sat on the bed, in front of my full length mirror, while spacing out, while the only noise that cou
We stayed in that position for a while. I enjoyed the silence, the tranquility his presence had given me. I didn’t even need words, just his gentle caress on my back and his tiny kisses on my head made me calm down.Meanwhile, I am staring at my oversized photograph that’s almost maximizing the whole single wall of the room."You’re alright now? Penny of your thoughts? "I chuckled at his tone. I remember asking him the same question the first time I saw him. Now, he’s asking me the same question with the same tone."Why is this your favorite?" I asked him, trying to avoid having a conversation about me."Just because."I chuckled. "Why not my nude photos?""Why those when I could just see you strip in front of me?"I barked a laugh. He chuckled when I laughed. My smile disappeared thinking about this plan of ours. Now that this is done, until when should I lie to him so I can stop?"Thank you. You don’t know how much of a help that is to a lot of people. " I whispered.To a lot of pe
