ORA’S POINT OF VIEW.

I gasped as that same, chilly, dark voice spoke, my eyes zeroing in on Damien. He had unruly dark hair, tattoos all around his hands, and another of a scorpion travelling a path up his neck. Underneath his left eye, he had another tattoo of an ace of spades drawn there; he also has a piercing on his left ear….his dark eyes did not look anywhere other than me, his lips stretched in a smirk that got me feeling ridiculously hot for some reason.

What’s wrong with me?

  • OH NO! I SENT MY SEX TAPE TO MY BAD BOY STEPBROTHER!   BLURRY

    DAMIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.For a moment, all I can do is stare at the picture on my screen. A part of me believes it isn’t real…..yes, Nora has mentioned a certain Maave a handful of times, but this could be a prank text.It could be an edited or doctored image….My heart pounds violently against my rib cage. For a moment, I forget how to breathe, my lungs feel like they’ve trapped air in, and my vision blurs, forcing me to grab the handle of my bike.Exiting the messenger app, I pulled up my keypad, dialing Nora’s number. “Come on, Nora, pick up.”I muttered, my fingers drumming on the leather of the bike handle. Her phone rings for what feels like forever, but she doesn't pick up. It only goes to voicemail instead.“Fuck!” I snapped, nearly throwing the phone to the floor. I dialed her number again, waiting and hoping she would pick up this time around.However, the same thing happens… no, this time around, the automated voice from the network provider comes in;“Sorry, but this number

    DAMIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.“Sage?” I frowned, my mind trying to piece together how the hell Sage got to even know about this. “How the hell did my sister find a way to tell you about anything that went on inside the house, Blair? She wasn’t even inside, or anywhere near the building.”“She didn’t explain how, okay? She only told me what happened. How am I supposed to know how she got the information?”“Blair..” I let out an exasperated sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose, my eyes shut tightly for a second, before I glared at her again. “I’m going to say this one final time; I do not like you, you and I will never have that chance you think.” She flinched as if I burned her, eyes full of tears as her lower lip wobbled. “There is nothing you say or do that will ever change that fact. Please stop now; this is hard to watch and embarrassing.I don’t play about Nora; I love that woman more than my life. I don’t care about the lengths I have to go to; I will protect her interests at all costs

  • OH NO! I SENT MY SEX TAPE TO MY BAD BOY STEPBROTHER!   FEMME FATALE

    NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.The silence Blair left upon her exit was deafening, high-pitched, and could probably detonate a bomb. My knees felt weak, but for some reason, I hadn’t hit the floor yet. From a distance, I heard what sounded like the joined voices of Maeve and Elena speaking loudly into my ears. Perhaps they were trying to convince me that Blair was lying…but all I could hear were those six words Blair had said;He came many times.The words were like claws, shredding whatever confidence I’d tried to summon these last two days, ever since Damien and I talked. All of a sudden, I could barely breathe, or cry….or feel. My world had lost color, too. The corset was too tight, the material of the dress felt itchy against my skin, and I wanted to rip it off my body.My chest rose and fell rapidly, and I could hear my breathing coming out in sharp, rushed spurts. If Damien had touched her, come to me, then touched me with that skin, I would scratch my skin off. He looked me in the eye w

  • OH NO! I SENT MY SEX TAPE TO MY BAD BOY STEPBROTHER!   ENEMY TERRITORY

    NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.After a grueling five hours of Maeve and Elena teaming up to throw me into different, skin-tight dresses and heels that looked like they'd break my neck and ankle at the same time if I dared trip over air, I was ready to tap out. But I knew I couldn't dare do it... Maeve and Elena would bite my head off.“I think this dress would be much better than that last one she tried on.” I heard Elena whisper to Maeve from the other side of the VIP shopping area, where I sat. I was on my feet for so long, I couldn’t bear another minute of standing, not with the way my ankles ached.“Oh yes! That one will have everyone staring at her tonight. Nora, what do you think?” They turned to me, pushing the dress up.“Huh? Oh….it looks good.” I said absentmindedly, barely caring anymore. I didn’t mind putting on a sackcloth. I just need to do anything besides get thrown into a dressing room, only to see Maeve and Elena shake their head with disappointment before throwing another dre

  • OH NO! I SENT MY SEX TAPE TO MY BAD BOY STEPBROTHER!   I NEED TO FORGET

    NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.Before I could say anything more, my phone’s ringing filled the space between us. Pulling it from my bag, my brows furrow at the unknown contact displayed on the screen.“Hello?” The sound of Maeve blowing her nose and coughing makes me stare at her, both with worry and amusement. She rolls onto the floor, wrapping the duvet around her like a human burrito before she continues her sobbing.“Nora!” Elena’s voice makes me ease up a bit, my heart no longer still from the uncertainty. “Thank God you picked up.”“Hey, Elena.”“Hey! You have no idea how many times I had to beg that brute called Damien before I could get your number. So, here’s what’s up: there’s a new club opening tonight, and I can’t go there alone.Remember when I asked if you and I could go out sometime?”“Yeah..” I replied, a small part of me felt nervous at the thought of going to a club; especially because I’d never gone to one before.“Well, this is our chance! If you’d like, of course, I really

  • OH NO! I SENT MY SEX TAPE TO MY BAD BOY STEPBROTHER!   HE'S GAY

    HE'S GAY!NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.I watched Damien’s silhouette shrink in the rearview mirror, his hand still up in a wave until we turned a corner. I released a breath, leaning back against the leather seats, my eyes closed, with my head thrown back. “Is everything alright, Miss Macie?” I heard Elias ask, and my eyes fluttered open.My ears tingled at that last name, the reminder of everything it brought with it pouring into my mind. Something about it felt wrong….like it was no longer my identity; probably because it wasn’t anymore. “Callahan.” I corrected the name, which felt weird on my tongue, but it felt right.“I’m sorry?”“My name is Nora Callahan, not Macie, Elias,” I explained further, watching as he nodded, a strange twinkle in his eyes as the corner of his lips tilted up.“Understood, Miss Callahan.” Elais corrected himself, his lips turned up even further. A part of me itched to ask him why he was smiling, but I stifled it, choosing instead to mumble anything I knew on this

    DAMIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.The SUV pulled up to the iron gates of Allister’s estate. In less than no time, Peter sped up to the front, and I hopped out before he could even stop. The second I stepped in, Margo, his housekeeper, greeted me. “Mr. Priest, welcome.” She says with a polite nod. “Let that

    NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.The air in the living room suite was still thick with the scent of us, of the nerve oil, our sweat, and the mangled musk of Damien’s cologne. A couple of seconds after he came, he pulled out of me, lifted me; not that I could have walked two steps….my legs were jellified.Taki

    NORA'S POINT OF VIEW.I, on the other hand, had a kangaroo pouch, cellulite, and a body that revealed that no matter how hard I tried to diet or starve myself of food, my kangaroo pouch was too stubborn to release me. My smile fell, turning to a slight frown quickly, but I pulled it back on before

    MEAVE’S POINT OF VIEW.My heartbeat was so loud, I was worried my eardrums would burst; my earlier confidence in my disguise skills dipped. “Y-you knew?” I squeaked.“Be careful not to use your real voice. Allister could be lurking around somewhere. And yes, I knew….you think that a wig and worn cl
