Refusing to explain the kiss, I cry endlessly into Wade's arms. It feels nice to be comforted by someone like this. No wonder Liana came to me.
As my brain reloads and my senses return, I understand the reason why I am upset. It sounds petty and childish but I know the reason Pan kissed me was to distract me and stop me arguing with him. It was foul play.
On the other hand, my heart couldn't appreciate the kiss because I only now realise that there is something else I feel for Panda King.
Something more than a business relationship, something deeper than friendship and something which is threatening to overcome my being.
How did I end up having this feeling for none other than Panda King?!
Tina Gold is in love with Panda King.
The ridiculousness of this whole situation would have made me laugh on a normal day but after the kiss, I have realised th

TW: Cancer _____________________________ On the drive home, my mind has become a battleground. After discovering that it was Panda King who saved me that night from Theodore Emmet, a part of me feels warm and happy. However, the better part of me is still feeling angry with Pan. The mystery behind why I awoke naked still remains. I know that he didn't do anything to me but what exactly happened after I blanked out? "Tin, are you still angry at me?" Pan asks into the silence. I roll my eyes, "What do you think?" "I didn't mean to do it." He says apologetically. Switching the engine off, I step outside. The night air feels nice against my face. I stand there for a few minutes, smiling as the breeze grazes across me. "Tin, you know I didn't kiss you on purpose." Pan says from behind me. My face scrunches up in a

The next few days are hellish. I don't return to the King mansion. This nightmare feels too long. Mint and Dad seem to have become lifeless zombies but I am no different. We still haven't come to terms. The funeral is prepared in a blur and it's only the three of us who are present. I know we should invite Mum's friends but we aren't in a good state ourselves right now. Our eyes are bloodshot and we have dark circles from the sleepless nights. Dad is trying his best to stay strong for us but I know he is broken inside. We hang her photo up in the house as a memory. My eyes haven't been dry in days. We haven't eaten properly either. I do my best to cook something but none of us have any appetite. Panda King has rang me many times but I have ignored his calls and switched my phone off. Hans has been coming over every day to check up on us and take care o

The sun is bright as I wake up. My head hurts as if a giant stomped his feet on it and I find myself gazing at a handsome face.As I groan in pain, I realise that this is the first time in a month that I have been able to sleep without nightmares. The feeling of being wrapped in these arms is not bad.I lie there, reluctant to get up and leave his arms. It's fine for me to sleep for a while more. Closing my eyes, I snuggle into his chest again.***Panda King has never felt more on edge than he is feeling now. Pretending to be asleep when she woke up, he had closed his eyes but he felt her stir within his embrace and his heart beat erratically.After a month of not seeing or hearing from her, Tin Gold has lost weight and looks more lifeless. He has never seen her without the light in her soft brown eyes like she is now.As hi

As usual, Panda King corners me when I am least prepared.Ever since I returned, I've been spending any free time I have, cooking and doing random chores to keep my thoughts away.As I clean the chicken meat with the biggest kitchen knife, I hear his voice from behind me."Why have you been avoiding me?"I hack away as I answer without turning around, "I haven't.""So why have we not spoken properly in a week?""It doesn't bother me." I shrug as I continue slicing."Tin Gold!" He shouts into my ear and I jump, the huge knife still in my hand. His ocean eyes stare in horror at the knife. When did he come and stand next to me?"What?" I ask in boredom."C-can you put that away first?" He hasn't taken his eyes off the knife.I grin and put it aside. "Sorry Pan."

Some of the office women still give me flirty looks when I follow Panda King to the company. As usual, I smile and nod at them awkwardly."Pan, you have a meeting in two hours." I read aloud from his schedule."What is it about?" He asks, sitting in his office chair behind his desk."A meeting about the construction of the new mall which..." I stop as he holds up his hand."That's enough. Help me sort through these documents Tin." He says in his authoritative "work" voice.I stare at the huge pile of files and papers piled up on his desk."All these?""Yes. Is there a problem?" He asks with a raised eyebrow."You're helping me right?" I say. There is no way I will be able to get all these edited and handed to him by the end of the day."Of course not. I am sorting out the documen

I groan as the doorbell rings and Panda King shouts at me to check who it is. Does he not have any mercy for an injured person?Stumbling off the sofa, I limp towards the front door. Slowly, I walk down the front driveway and open the front gates.I should have known when I accidentally broke that glass cup this morning that it was an ill omen.From the other side of the gates, the familiar dark haired Mrs King stares at me. Her brown eyes scrutinise me from head to toe making me feel nervous."Welcome Mrs King." I smile anxiously, gesturing for her to enter.She smiles at me but it doesn't reach her eyes. Is something wrong? My brain mentally assesses the situation and I realise what is wrong here.Last time Mr and Mrs King visited, I was a female with long hair and was the girlfriend of their only son. Now, I am "Tin" and probably look like a ma

Keeping Ciarra Lake away proves to be more difficult than I had thought it would be when I confidently made the promise to Panda King. I overhear Mrs King and Ciarra speaking in quiet voices in the kitchen. They must be planning something. Ciarra hasn't spoken to me at all. It has already been two days since they came and I have done my best to be a fishbone stuck in her throat. Pan has been making sure that I am always within an arms length of wherever he is. I have answered for him when she asks questions, blocked off her advances towards him and basically been the third wheel. Mrs King seems to support her to the fullest. So much so that it has not stopped Ciarra from trying to seduce Pan when she thinks I am not in sight. Pan was so frightened that he has been camping inside my room at night in case she comes for him in the dark. Is this the true Ciarra Lake?

TW: Drugs_____________________________If there was anyone as stubborn and self-absorbed as Ciarra Lake, they would lose to her because Ciarra Lake has always been a woman who will latch onto and grab whatever she desires no matter what obstacles she is faced with.Panda King is no exception. By having his own mother be her loyal support in her pursuit, Ciarra tried her best to seduce him. She was willing to stay even more than the two days she had already been at the King mansion for.That woman, Tina Gold, had declared herself as a rival by trying to disrupt Ciarra's every attempt at seduction. Ciarra's plans failed due to Tina's nosiness. Why did Panda King have her as his shadow? He didn't even seem annoyed by her presence following him.Ciarra was obviously jealous. She knew Panda was irritated by her and treated her like a thorn stuck in his foot whilst Tina was given smiles and l
