LORETTA

“Rea!”

His voice was muffled by the loud thoughts ringing in my head. The cool night air brushed my skin like a tease. I heard another sound of a door slamming shut behind me

I didn't turn, I just kept on walking.

My legs felt heavy, and my heels unbalanced, my body swayed, and I couldn't see past three inches in front of me, not with how tears had misted my eyes

“Loretta,” My name came out rough, none of his usual composure left in it. “Get back in the car”

I couldn't just hear his v

    ELIONThe taxi pulled away, and it took her away from meMy Rea. A vital— No, the most important piece of my heart. For a long second, I couldn't move at all. All I could do was feel the burning ache in the hole she had unknowingly dug deep into my chest I just stood there like an idiot in the middle of the road, watching the yellow taillights grow smaller until they blurred into the stream of traffic.The silence she left behind settled over me like wet concrete, heavy enough to make breathing feel unnatural; my hands were trembling. I looked down at them as though they belonged to someone else.When did that start? When did I begin to get so... affected by anyone or anythingBut whenever it came to her, I always reacted differently A few minutes ago, those same hands had been cupping her face, wiping away tears I had caused. Then I had destroyed everything with a handful of cold words I didn't mean A contract.For fuck sake, why did that word come out of my mouth? The moment it

    LORETTA “Rea!”His voice was muffled by the loud thoughts ringing in my head. The cool night air brushed my skin like a tease. I heard another sound of a door slamming shut behind meI didn't turn, I just kept on walking.My legs felt heavy, and my heels unbalanced, my body swayed, and I couldn't see past three inches in front of me, not with how tears had misted my eyes“Loretta,” My name came out rough, none of his usual composure left in it. “Get back in the car” I couldn't just hear his voice; I could feel it beside me. Still, I didn't turn. “No”He caught my wrist before I could take another step, not roughly, not in the manner the man at the club had, just firmly enough to stop me.I froze, my step halting immediately. The warmth of Elion circled me as his hand landed on my shoulder, slowly turning me till I was looking into his face. “You're crying,” he said quietly.I laughed through the tears, my heart threatening to implode. “And you care?” His grip loosened immediately.

    LORETTA The tires screeched against the road, and my hand shot out to brace myself as the car jerked forward and finally lurched to a stop.“What was that?” I panted, my heart beat doubling The sound of the engine being turned off answered me. Elion's hands were still on the steering wheel, but his expression was so hard he was damm near snapping “Say that again,” he ordered very quietly.I was still breathing harshly, but I forced myself to calm down. “The man said Beatrice had sent him with a message for me.” My heart was still hammering from the swerve, “That's all” I could see his knuckles go white. “What else did he say exactly? Think harder, Loretta, there must have been something else”My head recoiled back in utter shock. “Excuse me, I am not one of your employees that you can interrogate.” My voice came as sharp as I intended, the three weeks of back and forth, of exhaustion, of secrets was finally catching up with me. “I need you to tell me who she is and why I might be i

    LORETTA Now that all was over, I looked down at my wrist, at the place where the man had grabbed meI rubbed the skin lightly.“Where were you tonight?” My question sounded loud in the quiet of Elion's car. The city slipped past the windows in streaks of gold and white, the silence broken only by the low hum of the engine and the occasional swish of passing tires on the road.When he came, I noticed, but he and Harlan had been dressed for a night out. Now, it wouldn't have been suspicious, but Elion was hardly one for casual outings. It has to be something business-related, and if it was, there was a reason why he chose tonight, when I wouldn't be involved “I had an impromptu meeting,” He answered with his eyes firmly placed on the road. I settled back into the seat, watching him from the corner of my eye. “What was this meeting about?"For a second, I saw the faint tick in his jaw, the way his shoulders grew taut, but all it took was a second, and he returned to normalcy. It was s

    LORETTA “Elion...” I breathed his name, slowly rising from the couch.His broad shoulders filled the doorway, blocking out the harsh fluorescent light spilling in from the corridor behind him.It was nighttime, but he was dressed semi-formally in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms, making him look completely out of place in the tiny waiting room, too composed, too imposing, too...powerfully Elion.My eyes searched his face as I drew closer, looking for something, anything other than the darkness in those black orbs. I found none. The only thing I could make of his cold expression was quiet anger. A swallow worked down my throat. “How did you find us?” I asked instead, I hadn't told Elion I was coming to Atmosphere, I hadn't even known we'd be coming here, so how had Elion traced my friends and me Except....“Are you still tracking me?” The question came out in a rush of air. Behind me, Michelle made a sound that was very close to a snort, but I was too focused o

    LORETTAThe man lunged forward, and it was as if time slowed down in our booth. I could see and feel everything slowly The tight way he clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and the heavy pounding of my heart as fear took hold of meMichelle didn't as much as flinch; if anything, she stood her ground harder, bracing herself for the attack. She dodged his wrist mid swing and landed a hard punch to his stomach with more strength than I would have guessed she had, sending him crashing into a nearby table. Glasses shattered all around, and someone, I think it was Zara, shrieked. Holly was as still as a statue, her face going pale. The waitress dove sideways to avoid the spray of champagne and shattered crystal raining across the floor.“Michelle!" I tried to grab her arm so this wouldn't escalate further, but she was already moving, already between him and me, boots planted hard like she'd done this a hundred times before.He came at her again on unsteady feet, grunting as he did, and i

    ELION This city is beneath me.Everything else will be soon. It's only a matter of time. My jaw ticked once as I watched the bustle in the streets of Seattle, several floors beneath my office windows. Busy people moving in every direction: hurrying, rushing, sprinting, scrambling, running towards
