CHAPTER SEVEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. Hurriedly, I dashed towards the large figure lying motionlessly across the floor. With a brief struggle, I turned the body over and was met with the sight of an unconscious, middle-aged man. Without wasting a second of wait, I placed my fingers over his nostrils, his warm ragged breaths serving as an affirmation of him still being alive. On confirming he was alive, I began tapping and shaking his shoulder frantically, in a bid to wake him up so we could both get out of the building in time before it exploded, and collapsed upon us. Every nook and cranny of the place, other than the little corner we were situated at, had been engulfed by flames, and it was quite clear that if we didn't make our way out of here in time, we would both be consumed by said flames in a matter of mere moments. " Sir! Sir!" I called out hurriedly in between shaky breaths, my digits trembling as I tapped the man frenetically but to my absolute despair, the man rem
DELIVER A LETTER TO THE TRIO. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. " I hate to say this but that was really brave of you." Scarlett acknowledged. To say I was shocked would be a complete understatement. Hearing such words from Scarlett filled me with delight that was beyond what words could describe. " Thank you" I appreciated beaming brightly as I tucked a tuft of my hair behind my ear. I had a good feeling that I and Scarlett were going to be great friends. I mean, she didn't seem so bad after all. " So how did you get the scholarship? I mean what happened after you saved him? How did you guys meet again after parting at the ambulance?" Charlie came in, throwing a barrage of questions at me. " Well..." I was about to reply to her questions when the bell rang abruptly, cutting me off in the middle of my words. The ring indicated Siesta. It was time for a brief break. "Whoa! I never realized how much time had passed by" Lisa commented, astonished. " Let's leave guys before that bitch
CHAPTER NINE. DOMINIC'S POV. I sat on my swivel chair, adjusting my glasses which rested on the bridge of my nose, as I indulged in a book I held in my hand. I was trying to focus and read but the stupid, annoying, and disturbing individuals called my brothers were all hellbent on disallowing me from doing so. " Come on Dominic, stop being a nerd and drop the damn book" Devon, the youngest and most disturbing of us all grumbled but I paid no attention to his words and simply continued reading my book. Suddenly, the book was snatched out of my grip. " Do not ignore us for a book Dominic" I heard Derick's voice before me. I looked up, throwing at him an expressionless gaze. ' Well, what did I expect?' I pondered, staring at him. My face creased into a frown as I glared at Derick, the burning intent to wipe off the wide, teasing smirk forming on his lips with a swing of my fist, brimming within me. ' This motherfucker ' I cursed inwardly. " Big brother is pissed," Devon t
CHAPTER TEN. DOMINIC'S POV CONTINUES. Our eyes met and I found myself mesmerized by the captivating shades of her irises. They were simply enchanting, just as the rest of her. I couldn't help but admire her beautiful features, most especially her lips. My eyes simply couldn't keep away from them— Her lustful, tempting lips. My body had begun to react funnily to this Girl. I could say that for the first time ever, I was drawn to a girl and felt the uncontrollable urge to do to her bad things— So many bad things. ' No…' I cautioned inwardly as I found myself getting aroused at the thoughts of the sort of things I wanted to do to this girl. I instantly swung my face away from her and returned to my seat as I noticed my arousal was spiraling beyond my control. I could feel my self-discipline slowly slip out of my grasp, and I found myself grappling with the eventuality of losing my mind and doing something completely unexpected and unusual to me. I could feel my brothers' amu
CHAPTER ELEVEN. DAWN'S POV. " What?" I questioned, a torrent of thoughts swirling through my head as the words flowed into my ears. 'Was I perhaps hallucinating?' I inwardly pondered. " You heard right, Dawn" Charlie spoke up, a glint of mischief in her eyes which I regrettably overlooked, believing she would be the last person to attempt to hurt me in any way. " Scarlett here is in love with the triplets, but she is way too shy to face them and let them know. So she has decided to write a letter which we'll need your help to deliver" Lisa explained with a wide, gleeful smile that made my skin crawl for reasons I couldn't decipher. " Oh—" I answered to which the lot of them nodded. I noticed a few others stationed at a far corner of the room throbbing with intense laughter that seemed to possess an intent of mockery, whilst occasionally pointing in my direction. Only if I had been more perceptive here, perhaps I would have suspected something was amiss. In my immense densene
CHAPTER TWELVE.DAWN'S POV.My lips quivered, a violent shiver wracking through my body, as though a tub of icy water had been poured over me. ' Why didn't I just look where I was going?' I questioned, blaming myself.I could feel the guy's gaze looming over me and not just his, but that of his brothers as well, or was it simply my imagination?I didn't know which of the triplets I had bumped into, but I prayed within to the moon goddess for it to be the gentle-looking guy sporting glasses. I didn't know why but he seemed less frightening and strict than the other two. " Raise your head," I heard him utter softly, realizing that my head was completely bowed, my face adjacent to the ground. This was a habit I had developed during times of fear.I didn't heed to his request. My heart pounded unceasingly, my chest heaving, and soon enough, I found my entire body convulsing violently. " I said raise your head," He repeated this time with a tone of firmness and authority that seemed i
CHAPTER THIRTEEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. Devon? His name was Devon. What a charming name. I didn't want to let go of this letter in my hand, even though I was actually meant to. " Give it to me pretty" The playboy who had been addressed as Devon nudged with a gentle tone which I found genuinely baffling. He seemed like the rough type so I expected him to get fed up with my hesitation and just yank the note out of my hand. Unquestionably, he could do so with ease but it seemed like he wanted to toy with me a little further. Still, I clung tightly to the paper, my gaze unflinchingly fixed on it. The feel of Devon's warm hands brushing against mine made my skin tingle. My heart began to flutter, my breath pausing in my throat. My body jolted slightly at the electrifying feel of his palm caressing mine. Soon noticing the effects his presence imposed on me, he gave a dirty smile, seductively biting his lower lips. In response to his coquettish gestures, my entire body bega
CHAPTER FOURTEEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. I sluggishly dragged my feet towards my hostel, enduring the numbness that had engulfed the entirety of my body, and still struggling to grapple with everything that had come to my realization. I couldn't believe that despite everything I had done for them, they still hadn't accepted me as one of theirs. 'Am I really that worthless?' I pondered, engulfed in emotional anguish, tears welling up around my eyes. 'I mean if they knew they didn't want me, why would they both come to me to apologize in the first place?' I asked myself, a torrent of unanswerable questions swirling through my head. I was still unable to come to terms with the fact that they could set me up this way and lead me into trouble. Why? Simply for the fun of it? To simply say I was hurt would be much an understatement. Every remembrance, every recollection, every memory of the pretentious moments we all had shared felt like blades impaling and slicing through m
