It was written in block letters and in very beautiful handwriting. There was a glass of water placed beside the paper, I took the glass and gulped it whole. I was beyond scared as I stared at the piece of paper, Who is he? My mind is empty, there was no memory of last night. I turned around and walked out there.As I was walking out, I tried hard to remember what happened last night, How did I end up there? Who was I with? I hailed a taxi and went back home.****I opened the door with a spare key and closed it behind me as I walked inside with my mind running wild with all unanswered questions and this stupid handover was still very effective. I walked to the kitchen and noticed a pink note on the fridge,Drink the juice in the fridge.By the handwriting, I could recognize it as mom’s, A smile made its way up to my lips when I saw it. I reached for the glass of juice placed on the fridge while I folded the paper and placed it on the kitchen counter, by the smell of it I could say thi
CLARISSA’S POV. His blue eyes were fixed on me, I can clearly notice his eyes moving from me to Brooke and his arm around my waist, My gaze was fixed on him, I could also notice his jaw tightening and his fist clenching and unclenching, his eyes moved back to me, eyes fixed on me while his eyebrows furrowed and His glare sucked something out of me, He never looked at any of the rest of the staff, just me, never blinking. There was no softness in that gaze. It was a look that conveyed a bubbling hatred. Disgust perhaps. “Are you okay, Miss Green,” Brooke’s voice broke our trance, my eyes moved to him and noticed the worry in his brown orbs. “Yeah, I’m Okay,” I said with an assuring smile on my lips,“By the way, you look beautiful,” he said, with his eyes staring right at mine and his next action took me off guard, he took my hand in his and moved it to his lips and placed a kiss on the back of it. My eyes automatically moved to Mr.Villin who was now glaring at Brooke. “You came,”
CLARISSA’S POV. My heart is pounding in my chest, I was frozen in the spot, I gulped while I was so scared for my life, he was staring right at me without blinking his eyes, the look on his face clearly says that he’s angry. His words were ringing in my mind over and over again, I was staring at him with fear of what he might do now! “Did you really think you can just walk inside by those stupid things you said to my guards,” he said while stepping towards me, I looked at his face in confusion, “I know you were following me,” he gritted his teeth and I noticed his clenching jaw, he looks scary. “Face the consequence for it,” he said while grabbing my arm and pulling me out of the room, “Mr.Villin, please leave me,” I cried as he pulled me with him, The adrenaline floods my system like it's on an intravenous drip - right into my blood at full pelt. I think my heart will explode and my eyes are wide, letting in every ounce of the fading light. My body is reacting like there's a gor
I didn’t understand what to do and how to defend myself. I felt like my mind had stopped working, what my father did to my mother flashed inside my mind, I hate him for what he did and I hate someone who cheats on their wife and loved ones. I couldn’t process the allegation he had on me, I felt like choking, I will never ever be as a mistress to someone. He was smirking while walking in backwards and maintaining eye contact, he raised his hand up pointing it to me, “You’re next,” he said while tilting his head and beginning laughing like a maniac. “George!” he yelled before walking behind the woman’s chair and leaning his hands over the top slat, the door opened and a bulky man with big moustaches and brown eyes dressed in a black suit walked inside,“Yes, boss!” He asked while walking inside and stopping beside me, I glanced at Mr.Villin to see him looking at me with a wicked smile on his face. “Tie her up!” He said staring at me, “NO!” I said stepping back but his guard caught m
CLARISSA’S POV. I was staring at him not knowing how to react to what he just said, I could clearly see his dual personalities here but I’m afraid what he might do now as I’m familiar with Apollo but not with Cyrus. He was looking at me, with a smirk on his face, “I came to see you once!” he said checking his right-hand fingers while folding his arms over his chest and leaning his back against the table.I stared at him confused, he glanced at me and raised his perfect thick eyebrows up, “Of course you don’t remember,” he rolled his eyes sarcastically, “I think you remember Apollo! talking about his stupid useless plan with you! About the party!” He said with a chuckle, I nodded my head and stared at him without blinking my eyes. After a sec it hit me when I first entered the office that day I noticed the way he was looking at me, like checking me out and memorising everything, he didn’t talk much, just kept on staring at me and when I asked him what he wanted to talk about! he jus
CLARISSA’S POV:- “Cyrus!” I yelled trying to pull my hands out of those ropes but I couldn’t, blood drops began falling from my wrists to my dress as I continued to pull,“Please listen to me!” I said but I could see him ignoring me completely, his complete attention was on the woman in the chair. “Are you insane!” I screamed when I noticed him closing her mouth and nose with his big palm,“You’re Killing her!” I screamed while sobbing uncontrollably, “She’s taking more time than estimated,” He said while moving his hands off her face, he turned around and faced me with a smirk playing on his lips, “1” he began counting while staring right at me, hearing him I stopped sobbing and looked at her, she was breathing more shallow and her chest was raised and falling in a slow manner. Tears were running down my cheeks while I was staring at her not knowing what to do, “2” his voice made me move my eyes towards him, I noticed pure excitement in his eyes and it shocked me to no end. “P
LYDIA’S POV:-“How are we going inside?” I asked looking at Romulus who was driving the car, we were just a block away from Mr.Apollo’s house as Romulus said.“Through the main door,” He said looking straight at the road, I huffed in irritation, he’s been doing this to all my questions making me irritated. Looking at his car, the two bulky men who were standing at either side of the gate, rushed towards the door and opened it, Romulus drove through the gates and parked his car in the parking lot. We immediately stepped out of the car, I followed Romulus who was marching towards the door, while he was angrily walking towards the door, I grabbed his hand and stopped him, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. He stared down at me in confusion, ”I..I’m scared, What if something happened to her,” I asked, I was so tensed and scared for Clarissa, I love her as a sister and she was my only family. His features calmed while he stared at me, he moved his hand to my face, touching my c
CLARISSA’S POV: -I don’t know how to react! He’s Apollo now, his personality switched? and the Apollo I knew would not talk much, my head was spinning with all these questions, I stared at him, confused, shocked and terrified all at once. These emotions were overwhelming.“Apollo?” I heard the other guy saying, I don’t know who he was but he resembles Mr. Mathew, his hair colour and height are like Mathew. “I see you’re in a hurry, brother?” he said with a smirk playing on his lips, gripping venom with his thick British accent, he walked towards us and stood tall in front of that guy. I could feel the tension in the air as these two were staring at each other, no one was dropping it, Apollo’s eyes moved to me making me stop breathing and my heart began to beat faster than ever. I gulped hard and looked away from him, I could feel him walk to me, his intoxicating smell began to hit my nose while I drew air in. He placed his fingers around my chin and lifted my face up, I stared at
