Deep silence floated between us, the time seeming to stop as we intensely stared at each other, frozen in our spots, my entire frame lightly shaking as I watched those now midnight blue eyes drill into mine, their ardor and longing leaving me utterly speechless.The soft touch of a warm hand gingerly gripping my shoulder instantly broke me out of my trance-like state, only to notice my father standing right behind me as I quickly turned around, his warm gaze finding my own as he softly said,“Come on. We still have some damage to fix.”Blinking a few times, I took a glance to our completely destroyed surroundings, obviously feeling a little skeptical.This place is a complete mess...How is he expecting to fix it back?“But...how are we gonna do this?” I asked, curiously eyeing him.Offering me a warm smile, he gently stretched his hand out for me to take, a simple yet very meaningful question tumbling out his lips,“Do you trust me?”One word. One word crossed my mind yet I remained s
“That was...”“Fate. She’s the archangel of fate,” My father quickly answered from right behind me as I entered the front door of our house.Fate...My mind whispered, watching my brother walk right ahead of me as he strode right towards the grand living room, instantly remembering Aleya’s words,“...you brought him back.You sentenced him to an endless life.Because of you, he will never pass through the Guarded Kingdom’s gates; hence, he will never see his parents again.”A heavy pang of guilt settled inside my chest, my legs moving faster on their own accord right towards him and before he could pour himself a drink from the mini-bar my hand clutched onto his arm, momentarily stopping his every action, our eyes instantly meeting and with a small and strained voice I whispered,“I’m sorry...”“I’m so sorry...” My voice raised a little bit, blinking back the small tears already prickling at the corners of my eyes, watching him stare at me for a couple of moments in complete silence b
Rick“Come on Ricky, pleaaaase!” She begged for the millionth time, clutching onto my arm, her big green puppy eyes staring up into mine.Hmm, like this would ever work...I mentally rolled my eyes before I gave her my final decision,“No, Blake, I said no, it remains no! You’re not going, and it’s final!”“B-but why? Leila is also going, and she will be with me the whole time, I swear!” She tried again, annoyance and frustration resonating loud and clear in her tone.“No. I don’t care, not even if the freaking pope shows up at that stupid party, I said you’re not going, and it’s final, so stop trying!” I coldly replied, quickly returning behind my desk, definitely knowing that she will stop talking to me for at least a week for doing this.But the truth is, I had to. I really had to. Who knows what kind of maniacs and freaks would be also attending that frat party, waiting for the perfect moment to hurt her. I simply can’t allow that to happen.“Ugh, I hate you, you’re the worst brot
Blake“Bye Ricky!” I shouted, slamming the door behind me while still munching on the cookie I stole earlier from the kitchen and hurried towards Leila’s car as we were already late to school.I was such in a good mood today after that late night debate, knowing that I won. I finally had it my way! I was finally going to a frat party, for the first time in my life!I opened the passenger seat door and hopped in, almost instantly assaulted by a squealing, extremely excited Leila.Guess she was just as excited as I was, after two years of being kept in my own house like a damn prisoner, I was finally able to hang out with my one and only best friend, and have a little fun.Want to know what was the reason behind my captivity?Well, let’s just say we went on a double date that didn’t end up too well, the guys being killed on spot for trying to kidnap and rape the both of us, courtesy of my brother’s various enemies, of course, that damned day being also the day Leila found out who my br
Dirty blonde short hair, broad shoulders, muscular back, fine round ass and strong muscular legs, all that covered up in what seemed like a navy blue police uniform.Wow...who is this guy?“Arrest me officer, I’ve been a very bad girl!” One of the girls shouted from behind me, creating a ruckus all around us, students in the doorway and also the ones already seated in class bursting into a fit of crazed laughter.“Who said that?” Ms. Kelley’s high pitched voice shouted highly annoyed, both she and the guy turning to look straight at me.My eyes widened, quickly shaking my head, trying to say it wasn’t me, finding myself suddenly frozen in my spot once his eyes landed on me.Ocean blue...The most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my entire life were now staring right back into mine, digging deep straight into my soul, sending an oddly pleasant vibe.“Miss Summers, right on time. We were expecting you,” Ms. Kelley stated, crossing her arms over her ample bosoms.What? What for? I don’t
“Oh my god, are you being serious right now?” Her eyes widened, staring at me utterly shocked after all I’ve told her about my weird encounter with that officer Azrael guy.We were currently sitting on our favorite bench, eating our lunch under the old, huge oak tree, shielding our small frames from the burning summer sun.I nodded, taking another bite from my delicious chicken sandwich, my empty stomach silently thanking Rosie for stuffing it in my bag this morning.“Let me get this straight; he simply ran away, just like that, no other questions no nothing?” She raised one eyebrow, taking a sip from her soda can as she eyed me in expectance.“Yeah. But I’m glad he did. And you know why,” I answered, earning a quick nod from her as I actually thought how lucky I was that he did, that way I wasn’t forced to invent some more lies and excuses.God knows how much I hate it…I hate lying! But still, I have no other choice. I have to. Even if my brother does what he does, I have to protect
I took Kieran’s huge palm, allowing him to help me get out of the car as I carefully held my black floor-length dress, giving him a small smile and a “thank you”, earning a simple nod from him.My brother soon joined me also holding out his arm for me to take, showing his million dollar dazzling smile.“Shall we?”I nodded in response, tangling my thin arm with his strong muscular one, together walking towards the classy restaurant, following Kieran’s lead.He opened the big floor-length glass door, waiting for us to get inside and as soon as we did, my brother stopped for a brief moment, giving him precise instructions while I looked around, gazing at the opulent, lavish-styled room.Golden yellow wallpapers with intricate designs and swirls, neatly polished wooden floors, round white fabric covered tables with symetrically placed golden fabric covered comfy chairs and dimly-lit crystal chandeliers, all that giving it a very relaxing vibe.“Come Blake,” My brother’s deep voice pulled
Rick I felt the life literally draining out of me as I widely stared at her innocent trembling form, her glossy eyes tearing my heart to pieces, making me feel so helpless...So fucking useless...There she stood, facing her possible death, unmoved as I watched the horror scene unfold right in front of my eyes, unable do to anything at all, my heart slamming wildly against my ribcage as I watched that fucking bastard point the gun at her face, smirking like a fucking maniac.And then it happened...He pulled the trigger and my heart stopped for a second, watching everything go in slow motion, wide-eyed, the bullet going straight to...Lucifer’s chest?I stood there frozen for a brief moment, staring dumbstruck at Lucifer’s body standing still, unmoved, shielding my sister’s tiny frame as she kept shaking, her eyes closed shut while I was still unable to register what the fuck just happened.He just...saved my sister’s life...He took the bullet destined for her...The bullet...Quickl
