LOGINViolet's POV "Lu..." My voice trembled as I spoke into the phone. I didn't know what to say. Maybe, just maybe my mind was playing tricks on me and what I read earlier were just my hallucinations. "Violet? What... Are you okay?" "Come and take me home " I disconnected the call immediately. I stood by the window, agitated. I couldn't even think straight. What was Mom thinking? Well, I guess we think alike, because I had plans to run away too. But I had never expected that Mom would leave like this. Where could she have gone to? How is she now? How long has she been gone for? I waited, staring at the city absentmindedly with Mira's phone in my tight grip. I was itching to open it again, but this time to check Web 'n Post, to see what was going on. I wonder how Archer was faring in all these. It was a big deal to have press camping around one's home. And why are the police not doing anything about it? They're literally trespassing and obstructing someone's daily life. I gue
Lucian’s POVAllen's men got a lead during the other victim's burial ceremony. His wife affirmed that her husband had met some suspicious men a day before the accident. Her husband, Sam, was a gambling addict. They barely had any savings, just debts. But that night after meeting with those strange men, their debts were cleared, and a huge sum was also deposited into her account by the husband. "He told me that he got a new job that pays well. I found it suspicious, but there was nothing I could do. My kid and I were suffering so much" the woman sobbed. All these coupled together made me feel like I was going insane. My family was crumbling under the public's pressure. Violet was in the hospital slipping in and out of a panicked state. I could barely think straight. Tonight was another rare moment when I got to watch Violet sleep peacefully, her eyelashes casting the shadow on her pale cheeks. Her skin had become paler due to staying indoors most of the day, she would only bas
Violet's POV "I... Oh God! He wanted a baby too. I just felt conflicted... I mean we are step-siblings, still schooling and having a secret relationship. I felt having a baby would... Will complicate the situation more. You know... I never thought of getting rid of it. I... I was just going to confirm if I was really pregnant " I broke out, a loud sob escaping my lips just as my tears poured out. I was finally grieving, I was finally crying out my pain. Mira pulled me back into her arms, letting me wet her clothes with my non-stopping tears. "I can't tell him. I... don't want to break his heart more than I already did. I'm being selfish, right?" Mira said nothing, only rubbing my back gently while muttering reassuring words to me. I swear I felt so much better, I slipped into a dreamless slumber against her chest as she rubbed my scalp soothingly. *** I finally found out the real reason I couldn't go home. It wasn't because Mira found out about my secret. It was later that
Violet's POV "Her mother has been whoring herself around, dating and getting married to different rich men at will, I guess Violet learned well" Listening to Brenda say those words with a sneer on Mira's phone made my heart lurch painfully. The worst thing that could happen is being betrayed by someone you trust, especially in such a situation. I would prefer she stayed neutral and just hate me for keeping it from her. The fact that she has always hated me was saddening and heartbreaking. But I have gone past crying. These past months haven't been easy ones. They were the worst days of my life. Not compared to the moment Mum changed her partners. "While I work until late at night, someone gets everything so easily. Why should I live with it?! I want to have it easy too!" Layla grabbed the phone away from me. "You shouldn't listen to her trash." She snapped. "It's fine..." "No, it's not. I thought you know better than to keep your pains to yourself now" Mira reprimanded.
Violet's POVIt's been three months since I have been in the hospital. I should have been discharged earlier, but the panic attack incident last month disrupted my health more. Despite the doctor's warning and pleading, I made sure he told no one about the baby. I was bent on dying with that secret. "You're so bent on keeping this a secret. Did you know why I didn't tell your family about the baby before you woke up?" "Why?" "Because you asked me not to. We tried to put you on anesthetic. Your body was immune to most of the anesthesia we used. You kept muttering that no one should find out about your baby", the doctor informed me. "Thank you " "But it's taking a toll on you. Keeping such pain to yourself is the reason why you..." "I will keep your words in mind, thanks once again " I cut in, getting up before he could continue his lectures. Layla was with Mira. She was looking at me, seeming unsure of what to say. I walked over to them, pulling them into a hug. It f
Violet's POV Lucian gave in readily. I guess I'm not the only one who missed us doing this. Knowing fully well that I was still recovering and anyone could walk in at any time, we didn't care. We only focused on pleasing and indulging ourselves at the moment. Lucian was careful with his touches, holding me delicately as he trailed kisses all over me, lingering on the bandage around my waist. "Does it hurt?" I could swear I felt the heat of his kiss through the bandage. "A little" I moaned out, my breath coming out in short pants. "I will make it go now" his fingers played with the waistband of my trousers, tugging at it as he trailed kisses downward. "Lu..." "Tell me. What do you want?" "Make me... feel good" I whispered, anticipating his lips on my core. He pulled down the trousers to my ankle and slung my legs over his shoulder, coming face to face with my wet mounds. Lucian dived in without hesitation, slurping and licking expertly. Making me feel as good as I re
