Jealousy | part- 2
The liquid got caught in my throat, and a fit of coughs left my mouth. I felt someone rubbing my back. I looked back expecting the sea-green eyes and an icy cold scolding instead met with two piercing gray eyes.
"I deeply apologize for my interruption between you and your drink," he said in a smooth velvety voice.
"Mr. Christian Delgado... It's alright." I gave a small smile.
"Call me Christian, please."
I nodded.
"Well, may I know why such a beautiful lady sitting alone on such a beautiful evening?" He sat on a stool beside me looking quite interested.
The previous events crossed my mind making my heart squeeze once more. No, I'm not going to think about him.
"I just got tired from dancing."
"Oh no! My hope is crushed."
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"I've

I opened my eyes, and a yelp left my mouth as pain shot through my head. I got up clutching my temples and let out some curses. That's what happened when you let your toxic assumptions get to your head. My eyes widened as my stomach contracted. Leaping off the bed I ran to the bathroom and spewed out all the contents from last night.Splashing some water on my face I got out and sat on the bed rubbing my forehead. My movement froze as the events from last night came into my mind. Jumping off the bed I looked around the room, my mind in full alert. I clearly remembered passing out on the sofa. How did I end up in the bed?Could it be Hunter? But wasn't he angry at me?I relaxed thinking about him when a shuffling sound came from the other room, and I frowned. Was he still in the suite?"Hunter? Is that you..." My words trailed off as my eyes scanned around the
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Masquerade ball
Dear Mr. and Mrs. King, you have been invited to the final round of the glorious contest of the Elites. A masquerade ball will be held shortly after the winner is announced.Putting down the letter I blew out loudly. Honestly, staying here I had started to hate parties. Had it not been the last for a couple years, I would go insane for sure.About the competition, as far as I gathered from Mrs. Arthur, it was a club for wealthy people to help and support each other. Every three years an award competition had been held to select the head of the board who would have various advantages for the time being.A knock sounded at the door. "Ember! Darling, are you in there?"May she live long. "Yes, Mrs. Arthur. Come in."In seconds she was in and sitting beside me, traces of worry visible in her face. "How are you feeling today, darling?""I'm g
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Mysterious masked twin
The same rose-gold dress, the same colored mask, same low bun on chocolate brown hair... It looked as if I was dancing with Hunter.But I was here.Who... How... Was I hallucinating, or was that some long lost twin of mine that my parents forgot to tell me about?Suddenly the girl's eyes met mine from behind Hunter's shoulder, and her red lips curved into a smile; an evil smile that made the hairs at the back of my neck stand. She slowly started moving her lips to Hunter's neck and breathing in his scent while keeping her eyes at me the whole time.My feet started moving. I couldn't let that happen. I had to find out who she was, and what was going on. As I neared them my movement was ceased by a group of people blocking the way."Ah... Excuse me! Pleas- Ah! Let me pass, please."Getting myself out of the crowd I came to a halt a

"I don't know, Megan." We were in Hunter's private jet flying back home leaving Paris and all those craziness behind, but still my mind was restless. I couldn't sleep even after trying for the past six hours; even the lush leather of those seats couldn't comfort me. I had this weird feeling inside like the worst was yet to come."I can clearly see something's bothering you. Why don't you share? I might be able to help you know," Megan suggested."I can't tell you... If they saw they'll hurt him.""You know we're thousands feet up in the air with only birds watching us. I doubt they're intelligent enough to get feathery spies."A light chuckle left my mouth. "You're right." I thought for a second. "What about spy cameras?" I did a subtle scan around the deluxe interior of the plane."No chance! This is sir's extremely private property with Chris in charge. You

"Which jungle?""According to my calculations... California.""California?! That's so far away from home." I looked around at the uninhabited place as a new kind of fear started settling in my heart. Despite the beauty it held, the creepiness crawled into my mind like a spiraling serpent. I had seen enough news of hikers getting lost and found dead in the forests. Oh God! What have I gotten ourselves into?Hunter pulled down the parachute stuck in the tree that welcomed me so gently and turned it into a bright red arrow sign in the ground. Then he started marching ahead, not giving me a glance."Wait for me!" Jumping back to my feet I ran after him. "If Chris and the crew did the same we should find them here somewhere, right?"Silence."How're we going to get out of here?"A bird somewhere from above twe

What could a gang of criminals do in a jungle?And why would they kill a forest ranger?Perhaps, they arranged a secret meeting in the middle of the jungle so no eye of law could cast a judging look at them, but unfortunately, one did and shot dead.Yeah, that must be the case."Can you not walk faster?"His question ignited a fire in me. I stopped and stomped on the ground crushing some poor twig fella. "Walk faster? I can't even walk anymore. Let them kill me. I don't care! I'm thirsty, I'm hungry. I'm-" Running a finger over my forehead I jerked off the sweat. "Sweaty." Taking two steps forward I hugged the recumbent tree beside that seemed so comfy just like my mother's welcoming lap. "I can't walk no more..." I cried.An agitated sigh reached my ear followed by heavy footsteps, and the next thing I knew I w

"What?" I went rigid."Come on! What are you waiting for?"Turning around he began running pulling me along with him, and I let him for my mind was still busy processing the new outrageous information just delivered. My head tilted over my shoulder for a confirmation look, and a gasp left my mouth. The one spiral of black smoke converted into a dozen more in a matter of moments. Was it a joke of fate or was death indeed closing in on us I had no idea. All I knew was that I didn't wanna die this way, I didn't want him to die because of my fault.My hand around his tightened while my pace quickened matching his perfectly. All the guilt, exhaustion, thirst and hunger was long forgotten, and only one thing circled around my head. Survival. Just as it did with all those lives present in the jungle. The happy chirping of the morning birds turned into pure shrieks, and the wild flapping of their wings sc

Sweet nightmare; that's what it felt like in his embrace while the forest around us burned. After what felt like years did the torturing sounds and heat came to a cease. I opened my eyes to see his piercing eyes watching me."Are you ok-" a cough emitted from his throat."Y-Yeah." I nodded, my brows creasing."I'm fine," he dismissed and got up.My eyes fell on the scene around as I slowly sat up taking off the hanky from my face, the pungent smell still strong in the air, and goosebumps rose all over my body. It seemed like a show straight from a horror movie. The air was covered with gray mist, the trees stripped off every bit of leaves and the ground charred with scintilla of flames still visible in places. The forest was bared off all the hues and only two colors remained.Charcoal black and gray of the ashes."Come on. W
