The venue looked like it belonged in a gothic fairytale.

Candles flickered in massive iron sconces, the floor was polished obsidian, and the altar was surrounded by statues of angels.

I scanned the crowd, there was no one I recognized, not one familiar face, no friends, no extended family.

Not even my father was present, no witnesses from my life before Marco.

Instead, I saw men with scars running down their jaws, tattoos curling up their necks, eyes that looked like they'd seen things no human should. Most of them wore dark suits, but they all had something cult-like about them.

A code, a brotherhood or probably a blood oath I wasn’t part of.

At the far end, I saw a woman standing in a sleek emerald dress, her arms crossed as she stared directly at me with unmasked hatred.

She had high cheekbones, black hair slicked back into a knot, lips red as venom. She was extremely pretty, why was she staring at me like that? I thought to myself, It wasn't as if I knew her.

She kept lookin

  • Love in lies   Mastermind

    Conzalo just sat there with his shoulders slumped, blood dripped from his head and nose. I pressed the call button on my phone, it connected immediately “Jonathan, come to the office now!” “It looks like I was right after all.” I said facing Conzalo as I dropped the call with Jonathan. “Tell me Conzalo, what do you know about my wife's disappearance?” He looked at me, surprise written all over his face. “M-M-Mr Martini, what are you sayi-” I landed a blow on his stomach, he bent over and started coughing out blood. “What did I tell you about questioning me? Just answer my goddam question!’ Conzalo raised his head and stood, limping towards me. “I promise you Mr Martini, I had nothing to do with the disappearance of your wife.” He looked like he was almost in tears, but I knew better. “I turned away from him and walked casually to Mr Harper's table and sat on it. “I know you Conzalo, at first your face looked so familiar and the way you reacted when we first met told me that you knew m

  • Love in lies   Suspicious Butler

    MARCO'S POV I stared blankly at the man lying on the hospital bed in front of me, but I felt nothing, no empathy, no longing, no sadness. Nothing, it was as if I was staring at a blank space. “J, get the car ready.” Jonathan bowed and left the room immediately. I got up from the chair I was sitting on and made to leave the room when a Mr Harper's hands held onto mine. “Marco” he called faintly. I yanked my hand away from his, his weak eye looked up at me with pain written all over them. “Do you hate me that much now?” He kept looking at me, I turned away and made for the door ignoring his question completely. “Wait, please Marco, I need to talk to you.” I stopped and turned to face him waiting for him to say whatever it is he wanted to say. “My daughter s-she um, was she um is s-she alright?” “Are you sure you want the answer to that question, I'm not about to be wanted for murder. So I guess you'll have to recover if you want to get your answers.” I turned to leave, I didn't

  • Love in lies   I love Lucas?

    Emily,” Lucas called me, but his voice drowned in the ringing in my ears. It couldn't be, there has to be some mistake. “We need to get out of here, before they wake up.” I pulled him along as I moved, but he didn't budge. “Lucas?” “No Emily, we have to get back in there. And please don't make me drag you, because I will if need be.” “Luca-,”my voice cracked, the tears I had been fighting so hard to push back came out in a rush. “Don't cry Emily, you know it makes me sad seeing you like this.” Lucas brought his hand forward, but I shrieked back from his touch. He pulled away, his eyes dimmed, I could see the hurt in them. There was no use fighting, I couldn't bring myself to hurt him. I just let him direct me backwards towards the house. That means Marco had been right; he did put the cameras in the house. I clenched my chest, I couldn't understand how I felt at the moment, my chest twisted in pain and there was a lump in my throat like I'd throw up anytime soon. I wouldn't even

  • Love in lies   Someone I once loved

    EMILY'S POVMy eyes fluttered open, I blinked twice, but I couldn't see anything. They were covered with a blindfold and my hands tied behind my back but my legs were free. The ground was soft, like a bed. I tugged at the ropes, and they felt loose. I applied more force and my hands broke free. I brought my hands up to my eyes and removed the blindfold. Turning around, I took in my surroundings, I was in a small room, with one small window. But it looked too pink, like it belonged to a 12 year old that's obsessed with Barbie. I got down from the bed and headed towards the door. Whoever tied me probably made a mistake , cos I mean how would you tie your captive that loosely. The person would definitely have the door locked, I'd have to follow the window if I was going to escape. But something kept telling me to check the door first, I turned the door knob and to my surprise, it clicked and opened. I paused, was this like a trap to lure me into thinking I'm free then kill me? Because i

  • Love in lies   WHERE IS MY WIFE?

    MARCO'S POV I held the whisky In my hand, unable to do anything else other than stare at the ceiling and drink. How could Emily do that to me? I wanted to make her pay, but that part of me that loved her couldn't. I knew she and Lucas were friends and I still allowed it, despite the fact that he was my enemy. but letting him into our home was totally unacceptable, who else knew what he had done while he was in here. I took a sip of the drink I my hand, and let the burn hit my throat. "Boss," Jonathan called as he rushed I into the bar. "What is it? I said it clearly that I do not want to be disturbed." I said without hiding the displeasure in my voice."Boss, it's very important." Jonathan continued looking at me, not minding the sharp tone I my voice, there was a time I'd have applauded him for that, but today was not that day. "It5 had better be, else, I'll have your head for it." Fear flashed in hid eye for a split second, but he approached me, holding my phone out to me. I sn

  • Love in lies   Kdnapped

    I got to the door of the house and knocked once, there was no response, so I proceeded in. I didn't know how I felt being back in the house again. I walked into the living room, dad was laying sprawled on the floor with a glass of whisky in his hands. "Dad" I shouted as I ran towards him "Are you alright?" I didn't knw why I was asking someone that was unconscious if he was alright. And where the hell is my stepmother? I picked the cup from his hand, I placed it on the table beside him and tried to raise him up. "E-e-emily? I-is that yo-u-u?" dad asked drunkenly. 'Yes, it's me dad, but we need to get you up and settled to your room first, can you help me with that?" He nodded his head and helped me as we struggled to raise him from the ground, up the stairs to his room.The room looked just exactly it has when I left, although I didn't see any of vanessa's things on the drawer where they were meant to be, something was definitely wrong, but that was something we would discuss the next
