I should stop him from talking. I didn’t want these questions answered, I couldn’t let whatever he was about to say chip at my walls but I stayed frozen, watching as he wrestled with his own mind.

“You hide your mum.” I blinked. Of all the string of words I didn’t think he would come up with that.

“Excuse me?”

“You hide your mother, did Hannah know about her? When she met you did she know about what your father did to her, or how it affected her-“

“No,” I answered quickly glancing at the rest of the restaurant goers. “not till after Tami showed up.” And I left him, I needed all the help I could find at that time.

“How about jace? Or adams, or any other person you worked with since you started acting?”

“I dont see how that relates to marrying y-“

“Why did you do it? You love her don’t you, why would you keep her like a little secret.”

My felt my face heat up at his careless remark. “You can’t say that to me. I love my mother! I didn’t tell anyone about her to protect her, to

    I had never seen a much bigger building in my life. I looked at the building where the Dionet party was holding and felt truly small. The building was a lot larger than a stadium with a roof that slanted upwards, ending in a sharp point. And covered in dark glass from the bottom walls to the top. I felt like in the morning it would be very daunting, but tonight not only did it carry the air of superiority, but of mystery. It told me that it hold stories passed down for centuries that it was willing to share if I just went through it’s double doors. How had I stayed in this city this long and not know about this place?Carter placed his had on my bare back and my focus turned to him. “Just letting you know again that you’re absolutely stunning tonight.”I looked down at my golden silk dress which simmered in the low lights that brightened the small walkway, the material draping elegantly over my curves. The true showstopper though was the daringly deep backless design that plunged dram

    What happens when you’re angry and trying to find a restroom? You get lost. I passed the same medieval armor ensemble three times before I accepted my fate. Or what if it was a different armors?I narrowed my eyes at it. I wonder if that guy was a regular person who had gotten lost, died and was now part of the exhibit. “Todd would you mind pointing me in the right direction? I don’t wanna end up like you.” I muttered at the armor statue, before I glanced left and then right. I sighed and went back the way I had come from. At least the way I thought I had come from. I was sure I had not come across any of the pieces I passed. I stopped infront of two paintings of two men, one posing for the painting fully clothed in 16th century garb with a larger than life codpiece. In contrast, a nude man in the next painting done in Greek style, was reading a book, his own member barely there. “In my head, I think these two would’ve been great friends.” I said aloud my voice echoing down the h

    Forget what I said about not being nervous. My heart pounded in my chest the farther he led me into the room. Why was I nervous? We were not officially dating. Everything’s cool. I whispered to myself, trying to play it off. I just chewed out a Blackwood, I should be feeling unstoppable.We approached a group of three and I relaxed at the sight of Jace. “Mother, father,” Carter said, slowing to a halt behind them. The couple backing us turned their attention from Jace. “I want you to meet Myra.”A warm smile was spread across both their faces causing mine to be more natural. Jace and Carter, were a carbon copy of their father. “Myra, this is my dad Gregory and my beautiful mother, Alicia.”“Oh!” His mother exclaimed, smacking Carter on his shoulder. “Don’t flatter me so much.” She chortled before turning her attention to me. “Myra. It’s nice to meet you. We’ve heard all about you.”“Hopefully It’s all good.” I joked.Alicia chuckled, “mostly, you work with Jace yes? I owe you congra

    Myra’s POVThe rest of the evening went in a blur for me. The announcement, toasts, more introductions…I had retreated so far into my head that Carter had to remind me repeatedly to smile, or nudge me when to do something other than nod at people’s words. He had tired sometime later of reminding me to smile, that he began giving the excuse that I was very exhausted and had not gotten a good rest since my movie premiere. I just hummed and nodded in agreement to that too.“What’s wrong?” He asked in the car when I had not said anything for a while. “You just spaced out halfway through the evening. You didn’t even show any interest when I introduced you to Stuart Dewald. That man can place you just as high as O’Malley di-““When did O’Malley say he wanted me to stop acting?” I asked and turned away from the window. He glanced at the driver of the limousine through the rearview mirror before looking at me again. “What are you talking about?”“When we were chatting with your parents, you

    As I opened my eyes a blinding light pierced through my skull. I winced and shut them, then shifted away from it when I realized that my body was pressed to hard asphalt. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and burnt rubber.“She’s awake.” Someone yelled as I moved up to my hands which were peppered with scratches and cuts. I could feel a blinding headache building in the back of my head, but ignored it as I looked at my surroundings. The cab I had been in was farthest from me, it’s front end pretty mangled with a broken and blood stained windshield. I looked on the ground next to me to find the driver, unconscious and bloodied, but his stomach rose and fell as he breathed so I knew he was alive.I let my eyes fall on the worse of the accident. The small car we had hit was barely recognizable with the bus parked on top of it. I rose up on unsteady feet and moved closer to the damage. “Everyone step back.” A man yelled, shoving the people closest away. “But there’s a kid in t

    When the medics came, I moved away from the car, my eyes still glued to the wreckage. Nicole had only passed out, I told myself. It wasn’t a big deal, they would get her out of there and take her to the hospital. A tiny body ran past me, and was grabbed by one of the attending first responders. “Mummy!” Heidi cried as she struggled in his arms. I tose to my feet quickly and walked up to them. “Take her to the ambulance and check her wounds, see if there’s anything major.” Another medic told the one holding her. “Give her to me. I’ll take her.” When I glanced at the car, I saw that the men working were placing a took under the car to keep it from collapsing further. On the other side, two men stood with a plier like object. They wanted to cut into it, I realized. “You’re the one the caller told us about? You got the girl out?” The guy holding crying Heidi asked. I nodded and reached for her. Her fingers tightened around the fabric of my dress, nearly pulling it off my b

    “Pierce…” his name slipped out of my mouth before Incould stop it. Hannah crushed me in her arms unperturbed.“I was so worried, when Carter called and told me about the accident, I thought…God I’m so hlad you’re okay!” I forced my eyes away from Pierce and focused on Hannah. “I’m fine I promise.”“What is he doing here?” Carter muttered. I was painfully aware of him approaching the bed. With determined steps till Carter blocked his path to me. “What do you think you’re doing?” He challenged Pierce. “I just need to make sure she’s okay.” He answered in a dejected tone. I swallowed, my chest felt like it was caving in at the weight of my emotions. On one end, I wanted to cry into anybody’s shoulder, really. But I also wanted to tell him that the reason my heart was breaking was because I watched a random stranger die. And even though she was a grown woman with her own child. The feeling that pounded in my chest was the same as how I felt when I was holding Yvette’s lifeless body in

    Pierce‘s POVHe was driving, but he wasn’t sure where. He had had to keep moving. Far away. where she would not look at him like he was the last person she wanted to see on earth. Crazy how it wasn’t the first time, but this time, at that hospital it sank in. Maybe because he had seen how close she and Carter had gotten. Or the fact that she didn’t want to see him after her accident while he was on the edge of hysteria with worry. All he had wanted to do was touch her. To convince his frantic heart that she was still there. She was safe and out of harm's way, but she could barely even look him in the face. He had fucked things up, so bad. For years he had been in love with her without knowing what it was. He’d catch himself watching her while they were in the apartment. An escape, No, he was falling right at her feet with love. When he read that text message she’d sent about them being over he had sent him into a panic. One he had not been ready to admit to. Admitting to it, was ad

    “Now I want you to really think about every answer you give me. The second it feels like I’m being lied to, I will walk out of this hospital without a backward glance, are we clear?” She nodded again. “I need you to use your words Tami, no matter how much it hurts, even if you feel like dying, don’t worry, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen. So… I’ll try to be quick. Uhh…when was the first time you tried to hurt me, like really hurt me?” They was that bob in her throat but she said nothing. I lifted a brow, waiting. When she remained silent I pushed my seat back and rose gingerly. “Wait…please!” She rasped, “I’ll t-alk.” I sat back down. “The first time…it was on set, the…pool.” “What happened at the pool, Tami?” Her eyes darted to me pleading. I gave no sign of sympathy. “the lights went off…I changed the signs in the cave to misdirect you…trapped you… I’m sorry.” “You did that yourself? Or you had help?” “…stunt director… he helped.” I nodded thoughtfully.

    When we reached the private hospital, we were directed straight to where Leo was pacing outside a room I assumed Tami was in. I felt a pang in my chest as I looked at the man who had fathered me. The grim set of his jaws, his shoulders hunched as he circled the hall. He looked like he had aged several years since the Dionet party. Pierce pressed his hand to my back drawing my attention to his face. He was staring at Leo, contempt on his face. Leo’s first words to me after ‘hello, it’s your father.’ Was ‘what is your blood type?’ I could hear his relief through the phone when I said the dreaded AB-. Then he asked that I come to the hospital to help save Tami.Pierce had decided then that he had heard enough. For Leo to call for me to save Tami when only few minutes ago, she had tried to kill me. It seemed even funnier seeing as Pierce had suggested ending her life a seconds before his call came in. When I agreed to come to the hospital, my response seemed to stun not only Pierce.

    First the emergency personnels passed with a woman on the gurney, in a dress I had first mistaken as deep red, before I realized-in horror- that it was just a blue dress soaked in so much blood. A guest had gotten hurt really badly, she looked lifeless from the paleness of her skin. But something else stood out, there was a black thing protruding from her belly. Was that a…Another chill worked it’s way up my spine when her unconscious face came to view.“Holy shit!” Hannah cursed. The next part of the parade was the officers, and the source of all the screaming. Sarah was bound by cuffs, doing her best to lengthen the time it took to get her from her to the doors. She had a cut on her eye and dark soot covering most of her arms, her dress was ripped in multiple areas. Her eyes turned murderous when she saw me. “You! Why won’t you just die!!!” She screamed. “I should’ve put a bullet through your brains a long time ago! I’m gonna kill you!!!! Let me go! Let me go you bastards!.” She

    Once the surprise of seeing me with Pierce wore off, we were joined on the dance floor by several other couples. He drew me closer to him and buried his head in my neck, no concern for what others in the room would think. “You smell wonderful.” He whispered and kissed my cheek fondly, and then kissed it again when I did not respond. I smiled at him my heart pounding in my chest. “Give me a minute, I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is really happening.” His arms tightened around me even more, which meant we were barely moving at this point. Just in the middle of the room, hugging. I leaned my head on his chest, and sighed with pleasure. “How was Heidi’s treak or treating?” He asked his chest rumbling as he spoke. “She had a lot of fun, and to much candy. We took a lot of photos, I’ll show you later.” I answered. “Can’t wait.” “Are your parents here?” ”Yes.” His head turned to a particular direction in the room and my eyes followed it to find

    “This is a whole new side of you Carter.“I admitted as he stepped closer. He shook his head and turned till he was facing the party too and people-watching with me. A couple passed us and my back straightened, a quick smile offered immediately. Look normal, a voice said in my head. “Nothing’s changed with me.” He started when they were out of earshot. He sounded awfully like the voice at the back of my mind. “You just happen to have caught me with Sophia, and built this wall in your head about how evil I am.” “I don’t know about you, but I consider cheating on your partner pretty evil.” He let out a sigh. “She means nothing to me, goddess. We can still work this out.” “I doubt that.” “Don’t do this,” he pleaded. “Do what?” “Pierce’s mystery woman tonight, it’s you isn’t it?” He chuckled under his mask, "I knew something like this was going to happen when you went to ‘help’ him.”Anger flashed in my eyes at his implication that I was cheating on him. “Which is why you spent the

    Tami and Sarah’s POVThey slipped through the party unnoticed, Tami, not quite caring, her focus on Myra.Sarah, seething at her invisibility, the same thoughts racing through their head. They would show them, they would show ALL of them. The guards situation at the exists barely gave them a second glance as they slipped out of the party. Taking the small hallway to the opposite hallroom. Away from all the noise and people. “I want to set them on fire, Tami said to herself. “I want to hear her scream and watch her face melt. That stupid ugly face.” She yelled, her nails digging into her head to slow the anger burning in her head. “They can escape a fire.” Sarah said smartly, peeking to make sure they were not followed, before she pulled a big painting back to reveal a hidden passage. Getting the plans to the building had not been easy, she had come here a few days ago to scope things out, make sure everything was fine, and their plan would go well. Tami had not been of help. The

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   The night of horrors

    “Treak or treat!” Heidi screamed as soon as the doors to the house opened. Two hours walking the neighborhood with her and she was still as energetic as when we started. Me on the other hand? I was soo close to spreading out on someone’s porch.“What a very cute dino!” The woman with grey streaks in her hair said, beaming down at Heidi in her inflatable T-rex costume. Her eyes lifted to my getup. “And you’re matching with mum!”A smile crept up my face despite my tiredness. I wouldn’t say we matched entirely. I was in khaki colored pants and a matching shirt, my hair was tucked under a brown cowboy hat, and the words ‘jurrasic world’ was plastered on the front pocket of my shirt. “Did you know the T-rex had the strongest bite of any land animal in the whole world?” Yup, every house we went to got their own dinosaur fact. “Wow! I didn’t know that. I guess you deserve a treat.” The woman took out a handful of Reese’s, kit kat, and candy corns, among others, and dumped into Heidi’s ex

    Me and Pierce broke apart only once since we moved to his room. Him to get us breakfast, while I shot a quick text to Hannah and Angie, my cheeks flaming as I told her where I had spent the night(it felt very much like telling her ‘hey Angie, yes, I was absolutely getting railed by Pierce, the man I’m supposed to be NOT in love with.’) She sent me thumbs up emoji accompanied with a text that said Heidi was fine. After a quick meal and more sex we lay curled up beside each other.“…If you could see those photos Pierce.” I shuddered at the image of Ava leaning over Camilla that popped in my head. He drew me closer to him, his finger still drawing patterns over my breasts. I shivered for a whole new reason. “I can only imagine.” He muttered, his brows furrowed, “if only there was a way we could get Tami for her actions too. Her family’s image is ruined as it is. We could announce the links she had to Ruth, placing that accusation even in the media would be a big blow, but I don’t want

    Tami’s POV. The house was plagued with more tension than Tami had ever witnessed. An hour ago, a letter had arrived, and since then, they had sat in the living room, Tami watching her parents as they glared at each other, one in plain anger and the other in defiance. “I’m asking you again…what does this mean?” Her father bellowed, his eyes never leaving his wife. Ava scoffed, poorly hiding the fact that she had been shaken by the contents of the letter. “I don’t know Leo, how do you expect me to know? It’s likely a part of Pierce Blackwood’s smear campaign since Tami here went and pissed him off. Now our company is in ruin because your daughter.” A beautiful diversion, Tami noted, it was just like her mother to shift the focus. They still hadn’t explained to her what on earth was going on. The note had been simple. A warning from one of the family’s friends in court. One of the very few people who still stayed loyal to the Bakers. Even though it was because Ava had that video o
