LOGINI stared as Mina's face twisted in disgust while she listened to the voice note."That bastard, you are doing this for love? You actually dare think that?" she cursed under her breath and gripped the phone so hard, laugh escaped from her lipShe dialed a number and said, "Christian is starting to go astray, should we teach him a lesson?" she asked, and my eyes shimmered."Good, everything is going as planned."I immediately switched off the laptop and took the document Vincent had given me earlier."What made you disappear?" I read the question."I didn't disappear, I was taken against my will."Reading through it, I hummed in understanding when suddenly a knock came from the door, and I groaned. The door pushed open before I could say a word, and Sasha walked in."Hi," she waved at me, and I raised a brow, clenching the document shut, her eyes followed it."It's been so long since we chit-chatted," she said, stepping closer when I never gave her permission. I bit my tongue, my gaze f
"That's good. You should fire her. People like your secretary ruin a lot of lives," I added."Either way, that aside, when should we probably meet up? I have some restaurants in min-"I cut the call before he could finish his words. Now I turned to my laptop, clicked on some keys, and a live video popped up that second.I had paid someone recently to put up cameras in Christian's home, claiming to be a house inspection agent few days ago... now I actually get to watch the fun.Christian stared at his phone and charged, didn't this bitch... "That bitch, she dares cut the call on me. Wait till I have everything you own, then I will give you a befitting death," he cursed instantly, and I rolled my eyes.Typical two-faced asshole, I thought, and then a knock came from the door."Miss," I heard the maid's voice and stood up that instant. She was holding a tray with popcorn in a bowl and a smoothie in a plastic cup. I took it and closed the door, rushing back to my seat. I hope I missed not
"Did I perhaps say anything wrong?" I asked, confused why she was laughing, but she held me by the side and walked off. Vincent followed right behind us."Did you change your perfume?" Sloane asked, and I nodded."It wasn't for me," I replied, and she gasped."I gave you those perfumes. How weren't they suiting you? You kept ranting about how they would smell heavenly on you, so I figured... I can't believe you stopped using them," she said, and I laughed."I didn't throw them out, I just stopped using them," I defended myself, and she scoffed."They are the same thing, bitch," she said, and we both burst into maniacal laughter.Sloane got into her own car and I got in with Vincent. We all pulled away from the alley.*******I ran straight out of the car as we arrived home. Today had just been too much. I needed my beauty sleep, but then I stopped in my tracks as I heard Vincent call my name.He placed the document from earlier into my hands. "Make sure you go through it in detail."I
"Hmm, what's that smirk for?"************HOSPITAL "They left?" I asked, and the nurse nodded."They said if you come, I should give this to you." She took out a small yellow rectangular paper. I took it and stared at it."Going home, Mum. Also, Sloane's ex tracked her here."Reading the message, my eyes couldn't help but darken, I dialed Cassidy's number."Hello?" Cassidy's voice came through the line."So, is Sloane there?" I asked worriedly."She kept Austin, but left. She said she was going home, but I doubt it actually. She must have gone to confront that bast**d.""Language Cassidy ""Okay mum, bye" the call ended."Her ex visited the hospital and made a scene, so Sloane had to leave, but she kept Austin at home," I said to Vincent.His eyes still remained cold and he reached out for his phone, calling someone."Location," I heard him say. He hummed, placed his phone into his pocket."Let's go. I know where she is," he said, and I immediately followed him out. The driver this t
She stared straight into my eyes. I felt like she could see through my walls and my lies. I looked away and burst into laughter."What do you mean? I just changed. Besides, people change. After all, it's the only thing constant in life," I added, but she didn't seem convinced at all."Your voice seems to have changed too," she hinted, and my words died in my throat. I just ran my hands through my hair and laughed."Now you're saying things," I mumbled. Perhaps was she the one who sent the text? But Celeste was anything but evil."Either way, I don't care who you are, or who you aren't," she paused and sighed."The first day I saw you, I thought you would pick on me and humiliate me as always. Worse, I knew Cassian wouldn't stand up for me, that's why I followed you to the bathroom. I'm sorry for that. I invaded your personal space," she said and bowed down softly. I rolled my eyes and held her head."I don't need you bowing down, Celeste," I said, and she lifted her gaze, staring at m
Vincent!What the hell was he doing here? Wasn't he in the hospital? Did he track me with the ring?I immediately rolled the window down, and Vincent's cold eyes just gazed at me."What's wrong?" I asked.He reached for his phone and pointed the message straight at me. "Why didn't you tell me? That you were being threatened?" he asked in a dark tone, and I swallowed hard."I didn't think it was necessary. I thought it was just some silly prank to make me say something wrong," I replied, and Vincent scoffed lowly."Mia," he called, straight and cold.My lips parted to explain further, but he didn't let me."Tell me everything. Your life could be in danger," he replied, and I nodded.He got into the back seat and closed his eyes, but my gaze landed on his wound that had split open again."Really? Stop roaming around injured, would you?" I said and reached to unbutton his shirt, but he wouldn't let me. His cold eyes brushed over me and I stopped in my tracks."I just wanted to change the
My mum didn't say a word, crying her eyes out, but Xena stepped forward. “Killed? I wouldn't do that to my sister, and neither would my mum do that to her. If we killed her, would she have even left two houses in our names? We would have gotten nothing!” she screamed back, and the crowd stopped. Sh
I could feel myself being carried in his arms. “Don't fall asleep, listen to my voice,” his bold, warm voice came, and I groaned. My skin burned. I wanted to voice out, but nothing came out from my throat except a sharp pain.My lashes fluttered and slowly began to close....the next second, I could
LAURA'S POV"I didn't expect this place at all," I said, forcing a smile."Well, anything for you, my love," Christian said. I looked down and gently cut the meat into pieces, but stiffened as I felt his intense gaze on me."Is anything wrong?" I asked, raising my head to stare at him, and he shook
I stared at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t blink, nor could I gasp. I looked breathtaking.“Your face has become viral. What did you do?” the makeup artist asked.The hair stylist nudged her elbow, giving her a warning look to back off, I just chuckled lowly.“I got slimmer,” I lied.They exchang
