로그인***~~Knox~~***Talk about fate.Jenaya Brooks.Tell me why I'm patiently waiting for Ryan to wrap a meeting up in my car when I hear heels clacking across the asphalt.I wasn't planning to pay attention, not even a bit.Until I heard her voice.That same one I heard in the club that got me hooked.“Here, everything is in there and if there's something else you want me to work on, please let me know.”My head spin. I don't mean for it to, it just does.And there she is, standing before a man that has a cocky grin on his face.I recognize the jerk as soon as my eyes lands on him.Leo Ashford.A creep that has a case of graping his workers, one he always gets away with.How the hell is Jenaya working for him.His voice comes next. “Of course, there's just so much I want from you,” he lets out, inching closer to her. “You know this,”Jenaya takes a step back, uncomfortable. “Sir, if there's nothing else then I'd like to take my leave,”She spins but before I can breathe, the bastard spa
***~~Jenaya~~***AUTHOR’S NOTEThe last two chapters mark the end of Soren and Delilah's story.We'll be getting snippet of their forever after moving forward.It's also a beginning of a shift.Unlike the fluffy, giddy romance we all got from them, we'll be getting something messier, darker and intense.These characters are morally complex and that's only going to make things get better.So, if you're in for the ride, I'd advise you to buckle up.— Daisy***~~Jenaya~~***You know what they say when your life revolves around one person?You'll ask think about them. Love them. Care for them. To the point you loose yourself.That's been my case with Kelvin.While in college, I've always wanted a love that's unshakable.Unhinged.Perhaps a little obessessive.But Kelvin came along and I had to shrink.My first in everything.It didn't matter if he loved me the way I wanted to. He was present and I lied to myself that it was enough.Six months after we started dating, he moved in with
***~~Delilah~~***“He proposed?” Meghan says, stopping mid-tap on her laptop.“Proposed?” I repeat, rolling my eyes. “We're literally married,”“Yeah. But that's still what it is. He never got to propose,”She rounds the room like a bloodhound and takes my hand. “It's beautiful,” she's says, her voice soft now.“I know,”“He might be an ass but he sure has a great taste.”I chuckle. “Do you always have to remind me.”“Well…that's that,”We laugh.Then she's all silent.“This is what you want, right.” Her eyes are on me as if she's trying to pry me open.I nod, a soft smile on. “Yes. I'm done fighting it,”She exhales. “I'm happy that you're happy, Lilah.” her smile deepens as she holds my gaze.My heart warms at Meghan's words and I put a hand to my chest.Gosh, I love her so much. We're been through hell to be here.“At least one of us is happy.” She slumps into the couch next to me, tired. “I'm stuck behind this screen. It's exhausting,”I turn to face her, my eyebrows raised. “Yo
***~~Soren~~***I was in denial till I followed Julian in to see the corpse.Rebecca Lancaster was truly dead.My father was wired up, questioning the head of the warden, asking what the hell happened.She was isolated from the rest. If she had drank poison then someone brought it in.My brain is trying not to combust.No one has gotten a hold of Cameron.Delilah is as shocked as I am.She calls in every hour to know how I was taking the whole thing.Rebecca didn't treat me like I was human but I was certainly not delighted seeing her lifeless body.Not when it'll hurt Cameron.My phone dings with a text as we come out of the morgue room.Cameron.It's an address.Then a text that says. ‘come alone’I recognize the place the second my eyes lands on it.It's an old abandoned building in the neighborhood we grew up in.After I returned from Alfred's at fifteen. I realize Cameron sneaks out to this building sometimes when Julian and Rebecca argues.It was the first time he actually spo
***~~Soren~~***“Yes, yes. I'll stay married to you, Soren Lancaster. In this life and in our next lives.”Still on my knees, I take the ring from the box, and slide it into her fingers.A perfect ring I had picked out myself, something befitting of her.Delilah stares at her diamond ring, her eyes glistening.It fits her just like I knew it would.I lean in and place a kiss on it before rising to my feet.She's staring into my eyes with this smile that snaps something inside me.I don't even blink. Didn't even pause to breathe. My hand goes around her waist, drawing her in and without a word my lips crash onto hers.It's the hungriest kiss we've ever had. Our tongues tangles together, desperate and messy.We don't even stop to breathe, just panting against each other's lips.The taste of her— the sound she makes. It's driving me insane. I could kiss her like this forever.When we break apart, she chuckles…it's not soft— it's like full blown one.I smile…I can't help it.Everything
***~~Soren~~***When you find something you thought you lost forever, it's hard not to live in constant fear of losing it again.I know I want to keep Delilah forever. I know I want a life where she's not in doubt of my love.But I've been making progress.She smiles at me more often. Laughs at my joke even when they're not so funny. She doesn't say no to spending nights at mine.She's relatively free around me.But still…that didn't thaw my fear.As much as Logan's words doesn't bother me. As much as I think she wants me just as much as I want her.There's no label yet.Not even a boyfriend.And it scares me, more than I'm willing to admit.I used to think I loved Ashley but it was just the feeling of someone actually wanting me.It was easy, no arguments, no proper communication. So I went with the flow.With Delilah it's different.I cling to her without meaning to. I smile more. I talk more. I want to communicate more when it's her. I want to wake up every morning with her by my
***~~Soren~~***I wasn't sure if I was still breathing right.My eyes are locked on the entrance.Everyone is staring, the room is quiet like it's holding its breath.Delilah is walking in, arm in arm with— Hunter.Every nerve in my body pulses.My throat is dry, the room suddenly feels so hot, l
***~~Dahlia~~***“De— Delilah,” the word breaks through his mouth, eyes wide.He looks terrified.The shock in his face is so loud it almost consumes the room.His eyes are on me, as if the ground has vanished beneath his feet.But I don't flinch.Let him stare.Let him wonder.I put my hand down
***~~Ashley~~***“You know what's at stake, don't you?” Rebecca says, her lips pressed into a thin line.“I'm trying,”“It's not good enough!” She barked. “Soren's not agreeing to the engagement, that complicates things,”I swallow, my fingers coiled tight against the glass. “I'll get him to. I'm
***~~Knox~~***I used to believe I had control over my choices.Over my impulses.Over the things I wanted.Until I met her.Beautiful, black wavy hair, a shape to die for and a face that belongs to a damn billboard.It was here, right at the center of my club.She had walked in, arm in arm with t
