Time does fly fast when you're having fun and when the moment is something you really want to last forever. But, when it's dreadful, time is as slow as a snail trying to cross the street.

It's been three days since I arrived at Mr Stones home and it's been extremely dull and gloomy.

For reasons he didn't give, he made me stay home throughout the week, saying I could resume at the bakery the following week—still, he didn't give a valid reason.

I always stay locked in my room almost all day, nowhere to go, no one to see and absolutely nothing to do.

It felt weird trying to adapt to a place that I had no idea about, I wasn't even in a familiar neighborhood. Based on his status, the neighborhood was quiet and had very few houses around, houses I could only dream off—how do I interact with such people?

In the past three days, I've gotten to see Mr Stones only once and that was the first day before he went to the office. Since then, he leaves really early and stays locked in his room when h

  • LOVE, CONTRACT AND SECRETS   Chapter 42

    Tori placed a knock on the doctor's office door, waiting for a while before heading in with Duncan trailing behind.“Good afternoon, Doctor Wilfred” she flashed him a smile, taking her seat opposite him.“Tori, lovely to see you” a grin formed on his face “I wasn't expecting to you see you today”And I wasn't expecting her father's doctor to be around his early 30 thirties—Duncan so desperately wanted to say.He turned to Duncan “oh, a friend of yours?” “Fiance” Duncan corrected, the word jumping out of his mouth before he could think.Tori turned to him in shock, giving a nervous chuckle before arguing to it.Duncan could notice the smile on the doctor's face fade slightly but he tried his best to hide it.“Oh, that's actually a surprised. Well, have a sit then”Jealousy, Duncan could smell the jealousy all around him.Did this so called doctor have some sort of feelings for Tori?Oh he had better not, Duncan thought to himself.“What can I do for you, Tori?” He asked, his eyes way

    I picked up my back, crossing it over myself before pulling my hair into a ponytail—i really needed to find a solution to this Tees and jeans problem.I sprayed my perfume on before heading out the room.I walked down the stairs, my eyes landing on Duncan who stood by the dinning table.His cologne was starting to get intoxicating—in a very good way may I add.He turned around to me, his eyes scanning me from head to toe and back up. A small smile formed on his face.“Forgive my jeans and t-shirt habit” I said, itching behind my neck nervously.“You're beautiful regardless”How was this man not really married again?I scanned his outfit, from his light coffee brown sweatshirt that he had pulled up a bit, to his blue jeans and expensive looking white sneakers—i suddenly felt very insecure. Too scared to walk beside him.“Don't” he said, shaking his head slightly “don't do that”“Do what?” I looked at him questioningly.“Don't try to downgrade yourself because of me. I can feel your emo

    “You sure he's okay?” I asked my mom over the phone, brushing my hair like always.“He is, honey. He's been asking about you and Mr Stones. Is he alright now?”“Yes, mom, he is. I've just had to watch over him a bit, but I'll be in the hospital tomorrow.” I placed the brush down.“No problem, honey. Take care of yourself”I nodded “I will. Bye, mom” I ended the call, letting out a sigh.I was back to being bored, back to having nothing to do.I stared at myself in the mirror, no idea as to how I was going to style my hair.My mind slowly drifted back, back to last night with Duncan—his company wasn't one I would have suspected I would enjoy so much, so much that I felt lonely without it.Something about his presence felt warm, felt lively and overall sweet—it was a place I never felt like leaving.I finally understood what he meant when he said he had to be arrogant and mean to protect my feeling—falling for him would be the easiest thing every. But falling out? It would be impossible

    I was tongue tied. I stared at Duncan like he was speaking gibberish I couldn't understand.“I don't….” I stuttered “what do you mean?”He leaned back, his head resting on his bed frame before turning again to meet my face.“I was only kidding, Tori” he let out a small laugh.He was what?“You're a horrible person” I stated, staring him dead in the eyes with a frown on my face.“Most of the time, Yes” he turned to his food on the nightstand “can I?”Was he being serious?“You look cute when you're upset” he teased, picking up his food.“I'm starting to like that demon side better” I muttered and he almost choked on his food, holding back his laughter.“I'd advise you be careful with that side of me”I tilted my head, curiosity kicking in “Why's that? Gonna hurt me?”He frowned, placing his spoon down “what? My temper isn't as stupid as that. I wouldn't do such a thing”“Awwn, you're getting sweet” I poked his cheeks.He attempted to hide his smile with an eye roll, but I could tell a

    I didn't know what was worse, the fact that Duncan had been locked in his room since after dinner, or the fact that Lydia left me with just a ‘you’ll find out soon enough’.As I placed the lid of the plate on, a new thought crossed my mind…..What if he had changed in the last few hours?What if he gets upset the moment I enter his room?A third question was about to cross my mind when something I didn't expect suddenly happen.‘are you going to come, or go on with your what ifs?’A frown settled on my face—it was Duncan's voice.“What the….”I made my way to the dinning section just to make sure I wasn't going crazy—or wait a minute….“You're reading my thoughts again, aren't you?” I asked, a small smile playing on my face and to confirm my suspensions, he answered.‘maybe’My smile broadened, a small chuckle following right after—i guess he hadn't change after all.~°~I placed a gentle knock on his door and it immediately opened up, the room dimly lit this time.He was seated on hi

  • LOVE, CONTRACT AND SECRETS   Chapter 37

    “So you're happy for completely no reason?” Michael questioned, a confused look on his face as he stared at a seemingly bright looking Duncan.“Is it wrong to be in a good mood?”“Well, it's not, but not when you don't get to work. You love work more than anything else” Michael pointed out.He wasn't wrong, working was his life—but then, there was the occurrence from last night; how could he not be happy?He would have never imagined Tori taking everything as easily as she did—especially when she almost had heart attacks in both ‘dreams’.Every form of emotion he tried to hide and bury for this little baker ended up blooming even more after her reaction towards everything.Just when he had expected her to hate it, to hate him. When he had expected her to scream or something, anything to finally get rid of his crazy unexplainable feelings towards her—she didn't and only made everything worse for him….Funny enough, he wasn't even upset about it.The weirdest situation for him was when
