Nicky, you are the best bich!! In my whole fuckin life!!” I uttered with a huge smile, clinging onto her like an earthworm.
“Yes, Ora and you are the best lazy bich that I can never stop loving!!” Nicky slurps in the last drop of her 10th canned beer. The only one that we could afford at that moment, we are two broke people living together. Abandoned by our parents but not orphaned. Our lives have been a mess, she is an illegitimate daughter of the second wealthy family in Ireland. But her life wasn't filled with riches. She is the type that I will say, “She was born with a silver spoon but still eats with a plastic spoon”.
“Ora,” she muttered in a low voice, staring at me sternly.
“Ummm,” I moaned. I couldn't see clearly at this moment. My eyes were blurry because I had pulled off my medicated glasses. I borged loudly next to her mouth.
“Fuck!! That stinks, bitch arse!!!" Nicky blurted out, pushing my face away from hers.
I pulled her shoulder closer to mine, forcing her to face me.
"Did you seriously call me a stinking bitch? "I thought you said you loved me?" I asked, my voice filled with hurt.
“I love you but not your alcoholic stinking mouth!!” She pushed me away, crawling to the fridge to bring more canned beers.
The room was messy with our clothes scattered on the floor and my travelling box on the floor. I just landed from London, I rushed over to her place first. I couldn't face my adoptive parents right now. I escaped from their nagging, promising them I was coming to Ireland tomorrow.
“Ora, should I book a flight for you back to London?” She asked suddenly, crawling back to me.
“Why?”
“Bitch!! You still don’t know why your fucking parents called you back here.” Nicky shrugs, looking at me with pity. Even in her drunk state, she still loves me. It shows clearly that she cares a lot about me.
“It's my wild guess though!! What if they are calling you back to get married to an arranged partner? Or about to sell you to one big shot in Ireland.”
“And you will experience an exciting romance with your partner.”
Nicky said, laughing loudly. Her sexy dimple flashing at me. It tickled my heart how pretty she is. Nicky has been my very best friend from the orphanage till our Adulthood. She has a father but she grew up in the orphanage, he doesn't want her to show up in his house as his daughter. He slept with her mother hoping for a male child but it turns out to be a female so he abandoned them. While I was adopted by the Grey family to ward off evil spirits hanging on their biological daughter. Our lifes is a wild mess so we stick together to find solace.
“Nicky, if i was a guy I would have gotten married to you.” I blurted out sweetly, she smiled nervously avoiding my intent gaze.
“Umm, but I will reject you if you are a guy. You are not my type!!” Nicky snapped, she grabbed the beer and opened it. She passes it to me with a smile.
“Drink baby girl!! Don't worry if we get to 30 without getting married or meeting Mr right. We will have to live together and have kids. We will be super single hot moms.”
Nicky promised, hugging me tightly, I gently pulled her away. Her breath stinks from the alcohol. I felt very nauseated as I inhaled her alcohol filled breath.
Pushing her away. I jolted out to the restroom, opening the toilet seat. I throw up every fucking thing hanging on my throat.
The doorbell suddenly rang, I turned on the faucet to rinse my mouth.
“Ora, go check the fucking door!!” She screamed at me.
“The fried chicken I ordered must have arrived!!”
“This pig, she never stops eating!! Why don't you get the door by yourself!!” I murmured. I gasped as I gazed into the mirror taking in my disheveled reflection.
Makeup smeared and my hair tangled. My red lipstick painted around my lip like I made a horny kiss with a man.
“Aurora, you are a hot mess!!”
I sluggishly washed my face,but it is still not getting better. I can't see myself properly, my vision keeps getting blurry.
The floor opened into two, like it was divided by Moses in the Bible stories.
I crawled out of the bathroom because I was afraid that if I took another step, I would fall and break my teeth before I got sober.
I scampered over to the door and grasped the knob. I leaned heavily on it as I stood up.
I twisted the door knob, and peeped around. There was not a single soul in the corridor. I crawled out and took the fried chicken carefully placed at the door. I sat on the floor opening the fried chicken, grabbing one and hid it in my pocket. Since Nicky bought it she will request for the lion share, so I had to hide some of it.
We are crazy right? Yes!! That's our law!! Whoever buys it gets the lion share.
Suddenly I heard a loud scream, I turned sharply. The voice came from the stairs, I tried to ignore it but it came back the second time.
I stumbled out heading to the stairs, my legs wobbling as I grasped the stair railing to steady myself.
As I looked down, my gaze fell on two men.
“Who is there?” I screamed.
The men looked up at me, I shifted my gaze to the floor. A man was blindfolded, lying on the floor lifeless with blood oozing out of his head.
My mind struggled to process the scene, the men seemed unfazed by my Presence. I stood staring at them as our eyes met.
The men's voices were hushed, but their murmuring sent chills down my spine.
I tried to step back but my legs were glued to the ground, I couldn't move an inch. The drunk me couldn't process their faces properly.
The men's eyes locked into mine, we just stood there staring at each other, like it was a staring competition.
Rylan POVMy head spun violently and my vision turned narrow… narrower… until the lights above me became one long streak.I heard her voice before my body dropped on her shoulders. “RYLAN!” She called with her sweet and angelic voice.Aurora’s arms caught me, warm and trembling. My cheek landed against her shoulder as darkness swallowed the rest.At the hospitalA soft beep… a slow drip… muted footsteps. I blinked painfully.The room was bright, white, and cold. A hospital room.Aurora stood beside the doctor, her cheeks pale from crying, her hair tangled like she had been running her fingers through it hundreds of times. Her eyes widened the second she saw my lips move.“W… what happened to me?” my voice came out rough.Aurora didn’t wait. She launched herself at me, wrapping her arms around my waist, burying her face in my chest.“You scared me… You..” her voice cracked. “You collapsed on me, Rylan. In front of everyone...”I placed a weak hand on her back. “I’m fine now.”“No, you
Aurora POVThe cold.wind in the company courtyard hit me again as I watched the porridge lay flat on the floor. It made me very teary as I watched my effort go to waste. The porridge I made for himthe one I stirred with shaking hands, tasting over and over to make sure it was perfect for his fever..lay splattered on the concrete.Just like the effort I kept giving this marriage. I think I need a divorce!! If only I could ask for a divorce right now. I can't just ask for a divorce because his employee threw my porridge on the floor. Suddenly a thought got to my head. “Since his grandfather betrothed us together…he must have known my parents? But he is dead, who will I ask?”“I need to find out all these things, so I can't just ask for divorce because of spilled porridge! I still need his help to take everything owned by the Greys.”My throat tightened, but I held my tears back, and wiped it off.I picked up the fallen container even though it was already empty, the lid cracked fr
Aurora POVI was thrown into a suffocating, airless dark room. “Stay here, till you get back your senses. Rylan only listens to Red, knows this and knows peace!!” Rosie sneered, and banged the door close.I shot upright, my hands immediately reaching out, and they slammed into a wall.Panic crashed into me so fast my heartbeat felt like it was breaking my ribs. My hands and legs were trembling, I recalled my past memories of being locked out by Fiona. And the memory of me spending hours in the cold room. It made my head and heart feel a strong pain I couldn't explain.“H-hello?” My voice echoed back at me. “Is someone there? OPEN THE DOOR!”There was no response.I banged on the door harder, the sound hurting my palms.“OPEN THE DOOR!” I screamed. “IS ANYONE OUT THERE?! ROSIE!! Open tbe fucking door!!”No sound , only darkness, and only my own breath shaking.I pressed my ear to the door. I kicked it, hit it, kicked it again until my leg throbbed… but no one came.I put on the ligh
AURORA POV, The doctor finally stepped out of the room.I ran toward him immediately, gripping his coat. He was startled by my sudden presence, and he shifted backward with a horrified face.“H..h..how is he? Is he okay? Please tell me he’s okay..”“He has a high fever,” the doctor said gently, adjusting his coat. “His immune system is weak from stress and exhaustion. He needs rest,… and some alone time. He seems to have been working a lot without resting.”My throat tightened painfully.“Can I… see him now?” I whispered.The doctor nodded.I didn’t wait, I pushed the door open and stepped inside quietly.The room was dim, the curtains half-drawn.The air smelled faintly of medicine.Rylan lay on the bed, his usually sharp eyes half-lidded, unfocused. His hair was damp with sweat, his breathing slow but uneven.He still looked handsome, but fragile like a gigolo.It scared me and also made me laugh.“Rylan…” I whispered, walking closer.His eyes fluttered open, and for a moment he j
RYLAN POVHer palm landed on my cheek so hard the sound echoed through the nightclub.For a moment, everything froze.Nicky gasped, the crowd stared.I didn’t move. I just watched how messy her hair was and how smudged her eye liners were- and it made her eyes black and scary.Asher Barked. “Why will you slap the Boss?!”I glared at him, that says. “I didn't say anything, what are you barking for?”Aurora stood there, swaying slightly, chest rising and falling, her eyes shining with drunken fury.“Where…”Her voice cracked, and suddenly her whole face trembled.“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?” she screamed, her voice breaking in the middle.My heart dropped. “Aurora…what is wrong? Why are you crying?”“NO!” She pointed a shaky finger at me, tears filling her lashes. “How..HOW DARE YOU ignore me! I waited… I stood there like a FOOL! TWO HOURS, RYLAN! Why are you suddenly here screaming at my friend?”Her voice wobbled. “I looked stupid… in front of everyone in school.”Tears slid down her cheek
RYLAN POVThe mansion was too still when I arrived, I felt something was very wrong.I walked in, expecting to hear Aurora’s soft footsteps, her annoyed voice scolding me for not picking her and coming home late. When I went to her school she was already gone. I got back home and I was met with empty hallways and maids whispering to each other like frightened birds.I dropped my keys on the table. I looked around scanning the room.for AURORA. And Asher noticed my change of expression.“Where is Young madam?” Asher asked, his voice high.The maids flinched.One of them called Lina stepped forward, head bowed.“M-Madam… left, sir.”My heartbeat stopped. “Left? Where?” I thought.“To where?” Asher asked. “What was her mood when you saw her?” “N..No one knows. She… but..she looked very angry today.” The maids bowed and left for their homesI closed my eyes, breathing in sharply as guilt burned through my chest. I was late. Again. And she had waited. Again. And I had disappointed her… a
