LOGINThe woman paused on crying as she heard her husband's words and glared at him."What do you mean? You told me to deal with whoever was calling our son names!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, and Sloane scoffed in disgust."Shut it. If I told you to run into a fire, would you run into it? Don't blame me for your useless actions," he yelled, and she cried harder, then turned to Sloane."Please forgive me. I was wrong and merely manipulated by my husband. I wouldn't dare do this anymore!" she begged, pressing her hands together and rubbing them, but Sloane moved backward. No hint of calmness lingered in her eyes, only irritation."You are begging now? My son had been bullied by your son for years. He had been called fatherless all because adults like you are rotten and gossip behind my back, how the hell will a teenager say all that?" she screamed and pointed at them. "Apologize? What about the terror and horror my son went through? Have you ever thought about that? He never even c
"Who bullied you?"Sloane knew her son. Austin was never the type to say those kinds of words unless someone had provoked him. Plus, she knew her son would never use disgusting words or bully a child.Austin wanted to brush it off, but Cassidy stepped forward."He's been bullied in school, but keeps it a secret—""Cassidy stop," he snapped, but she didn't and stared at Sloane."The bully called him a fatherless kid, that's why I replied on his behalf. She deleted her son's messages and is making it seem like the victim here," she said, then stopped, catching her breath.I was standing beside Vincent, and hearing every word, I felt my blood boil. A kid who's sick and just recovered has been bullied in school and hides it not to worry his mum, and now a stupid supportive mother just blamed him online? Worse, everyone seems to be supporting the false claim and even hurling insults at Sloane for being a bad mother and even tagged her a whore for getting pregnant.Sloane collected the iPad
THIRD PERSON'S POV"Let's go out for some fresh air," Cassidy said and dragged Austin that second. He groaned but followed anyways.Outside, Cassidy had dragged Austin to the other room. It was connected to Vincent’s ward, just a place for hangout for VIP patients.She sat down in the chair and gestured for Austin, he walked over and sat down."You haven't been eating lately. If this keeps going on, I will have to inform your mum," she snapped and his calm look turned into panic."Don't. I'm really okay, I just don't have a huge appetite. You know I hardly eat, I have always been like this!" he said fast and caught his breath, panting heavily. Cassidy’s dark eyes seemed to ease down a bit and she turned to the iPad."Do you want to watch a movie?" she asked and he froze for a second. He analyzed her face and looked away."I'm not a fan," he said softly and Cassidy rolled her eyes. She sucked in her breath, trying to calm down the anger she actually felt."You always do this. You aren'
I pulled away from the hug and stared at Austin, then back at Sloane."You brought food? Vincent can't eat some certain type of food, he's was stabb-""I know, don't worry I asked my doctor what was suitable for him!" she said lazily and a smirk curved to my lips."You are the best!" I said. She rolled her eyes, "Also I cooked it, didn't buy it. You are such a junk food fan!" she replied and walked off, even though she was limping she still had that charisma...Just then I noticed Austin. He was gently parting strands of Cassidy's hair from her face to behind her ears. My smile faltered that instant."Don't let it get into your eyes, you should cut it off!" he said softly and Cassidy rolled her eyes. "I'm never cutting my hair," she said straight up and he sighed."It's all better now," she snapped cutely and his smile widened. I couldn't help but stare... was it just me or was I seeing a childhood romance between Cassidy and Austin happening? But how old was he? I remember, I thought
Outside the ward, the air felt warmer and fresher. I inhaled deeply, and a smile escaped my lips. The reporters had also been sent away, so the place carried the cleanest energy in the world.Just then, Agatha walked out with Nina. I had left the ward the second Vincent opened his eyes. I just wanted them to talk things out, but right now, from their facial expressions, it didn't seem like it had ended well."How's Vincent?" I asked.Nina's lips parted. "Annoyed," she replied. She reached into her bag and dragged out a file, placing it straight into my hands."It's what he likes and dislikes," she said, and I raised a brow."Why are you giving me all this?" I asked, going through each page."He doesn't want to see Agatha!" she said straight up, I lifted my gaze. "And you?" I asked, but she rolled her eyes."That's a really stupid question to ask, but either way, I'll reply... I have school!" she answered, giving me that bored, sassy teenage look."Gosh, your face disgusts me. I wonder
The club lights flashed red and blue across the crowded floor. Music pounded loud, but Cassian didn’t care about any of it. He sat in the VIP corner owning the place, Celeste on his lap. His hand slid under her short dress, fingers touching her intimately right there in front of everyone. She gasped softly against his neck, but he just pulled her closer.He kissed her hungrily, like he couldn’t get enough. His tongue pushed into her mouth, deep and rough. Celeste held onto his shoulders, her body warm and shakyAnd few people even took out their phones snapping, but Cassian didn’t stop. His fingers moved between her legs, slow then faster, making her bite her lip hard to hold back sounds.“You’re mine tonight,” he growled against her lips, kissing her again before she could answer. His other hand gripped her waist, keeping her pressed tight to him. Celeste’s cheeks burned, but she kissed him back. She loved him, even when he was like this, cold in public, she still loved him.Across t
"But....""Let's go," Evelyn said and dragged me off before I could even say anything, outside she let go of me and shrugged."Stay away from them!" She said straight forward and I sucked in my breath trying to calm down my nerves."Why?" I asked and she turned gazing at me straight in the eye."Th
"You don't wanna do this!" I said softly, stepping backwards. Instead, he laughed."I do, so very much!" he mumbled and stepped closer. His fingers moved around the trigger and my eyes darkened...just before he was about to pull the trigger...He heard a crunch and stared at the empty bed.Huh? Whe
"Mia, what a beautiful name!" Silvia said, and my smile stretched wider. I searched around with my eyes. Did Xena not come with Mum? Why would she let her go out all alone?"Mum, I don't really understand why you brought me here!" Xena said from behind, making me turn. She was dressed in an off-sho
I blinked twice, I had never seen Evelyn act this way before. Did she really love Mia to this extent? "Mum, that was so cool!" Sloane said, and it Evelyn chuckle softly.She was about to say something else when Sloane's phone suddenly rang, she glanced at the screen and immediately stood up.Her pe
