One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 13: Day Five: Trophies and Music
"Too heavy?" Ivette looked up from the oversized trophy in her grasp and Cian found himself staring into hollow empty eyes. Her hazel eyes lacked brightness and in its stead, there was only fatigue and resignation. She blinked once, eyes flipping over him swiftly and she raised a lean shoulder before dropping it. "I'm sure yours is heavier." Indeed, his trophy had been a large monstrous thing and he had had no small pleasure handing it over to Rosalind with the nastiest grin on his face. However, that hadn't mattered. He had been watching the lass all afternoon. Not that she had noticed. That was the problem. She hadn't noticed his gaze on her as she'd collected the trophy from the lady presenter. He couldn't tell what was wrong with her and it disturbed him more than he wanted it to. "Heading back so quickly?" He asked, tipping his head toward the door from which music flitted out from. She shrugged. "Dancing is exhausting." He was
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 14: I hate you
How to make this moment last forever, Cian brooded. It was the first time he was... waltzing because he wanted to. He had been to numerous blind date, courtesy of his grandfather, and he had done one too many waltzes with lasses whose names he couldn't recall. But this...this was different. He had known she would be different the moment she had walked around him in that club and grabbed his butt shamelessly. It had destabilized him, and he had never been same since that day. In his arms, she was wee, yet his hands rested perfectly against the curve of her hips as though, they belonged there. He gazed down at her and he found her sharp gaze already on him. He couldn't read the look in her eyes and he hated that. "Tell me what you're thinking," He whispered, tightening his hands on her waist and he swung them left, matching the rhythm of the song. "You go first," she murmured breathing heavily. His eyes searched hers as he said, "You have beautiful
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 15: Day Six: The Last Kiss In The Elevator
“You banged Cian MAcGregor?!” Riley squealed and Ivette rolled on her back, holding the tablet up so her friends could see her well enough. “Annet! You knew about this and you didn’t tell me!” Ann only lifted a brow and withdrew the top of the ball pen she had been biting on from her mouth. “It’s not like you ever tell us about your activities with those Italian men. How’s Franchesca by the way?” Riley’s cheeks flamed. “It’s Francesco and we broke up months ago!” Ann rolled her eyes before staring into the camera with concern. “I assume the wedding date being pushed up stemmed from Aaron’s finding out.” Ivette sighed, nodding. Somehow, five days away from Seattle managed to feel like years. She missed her friends. She missed home. But she dreaded returning now. ”Yeah. He was mad and—I don’t—I can’t get married like this.” “Well, say no. Call it off!” Riley said, but she soon paused, grey eyes clouded with confusion. “But. . .You’ve waited for so long to ti
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 16: Chess Piece
Aaron's angry blue eyes swept down Ivette's form, noting Ivette's disheveled hair, her lips swollen from kissing and the state of her clothes.Then he looked to Cian whose gaze remained on Ivette, completely ignoring Aaron's sudden presence and Aaron's eyes flared."You stay away from her. You stay away," he fumed.Cian smirked and it was an arrogant and cocky grin that had Ivette's heart thudding against her chest. "I will, if the lass tells me to."Aaron dashed forward, drawing a fist to hit Cian but Ivette place her body between them, touching Aaron's chest, placating him. "Please, Ron. Don't--" He shoved her aside, hard. Pain shot into her rib as she crashed into the guardrail on the left wall of the elevator and a whimper left her lips. Hands were instantly on her arms and cheeks, scanning her for any injuries and Cian's eyes burned with rage. "Have you lost your mind?" He yelled, but Ivette slapped his hands off her. He didn't have that right. He had done th
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 17: Wedding Bells and Tears
“You look absolutely stunning!” Riley squealed, playing around with the lacy veil in her hands. Ivette shied away from the brush stained with powder that attacked her cheeks in the most unpleasant manner. Not early as unpleasant as her mood. The makeup artist had enough wits about her to keep the false smile in place, even if Ivette was being irritable. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were off to a funeral,” Amelia said, gripping Ivette’s chin softly, forcing her to look into those hazel eyes that mirrored hers. Ivette dropped her gaze in time to see her mother’s blood red lips move as she whispered, “Smile, Ivy. This is just as important to you as it is your father. I know you’re mad about the merger, but you’ve never been one to think with your heart. So smile. It’ll be over soon. After the wedding, you can vent as much as you want.” Ivette swallowed and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall. This was Amelia King. The woman who made sure everyt
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 18: The Runaway Bride I
Ivette took another step toward the door and the world outside it and her heart pounded in her chest like a drum. Her fingers shook as she clutched the bouquet, the white lilies feeling almost as suffocating as the ring on her finger. She hated lilies. She hated white. She hated her wedding dress. This should be every woman’s happiest day, but all she felt was a sense of impending doom. Thoughts of what her life with Aaron might be like assaulted her thoughts, but she could hardly think past the church, the altar and the wedding rings. She couldn’t picture a future with him now, even if she had practically been dreaming of it for years. It no longer had anything to do with the merger. She didn’t want to get married to him. He was probably already waiting at the altar. She could almost imagine Aaron’s confident smile and pose while he waited. Her father would take her hand outside the door and lead her down the aisle as the sound of the organ music greeted them. Jus
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 19: The Runaway Bride II
Cian sat back in his black Ford, staring at nothing in particular. He had left the lass several minutes ago, but he had been unable to remove himself from her lawn.He wanted to see her one last time, even if it meant seeing her in that dress, getting shipped off to another man.Melancholy had a mighty claim over him in a way he couldn't understand. He couldn't function. He couldn't think. Though, the aircon blasted cool air through its vents, he was sweaty. His hands shook around the steering wheel and he gripped the leather tight enough that it squeaked under his hold. His phone rang somewhere around him and though he knew it was Rosalind calling him to remind him of his flight, he didn't care to take the call.He swallowed hard, willing his raging heart to freeze over, but he had no control over the burning organ anymore. The lass had taken it from him and she didn't even know that.So she probably wouldn't know to return it to him either, because he was losing his mind withou
One Night, Six Days & A Date Later... Chapter 20: To Scotland
"It has been reported that the young heiress of King Corporations went missing a few minutes before her wedding. It is said that she was abducted--"Cian turned off the receiver, but Ivette didn't stop peering out the window. They hadn't said much to each other since she did the craziest thing she had ever done in her life.Run away from her wedding.What had she been thinking? And of course, rather than admit it to the general public that she'd run from her wedding, they would report her missing and abducted."I have a couple of clothes in my luggage," Cian said, breaking the silence and Ivette's train of thoughts. She turned slightly as he added, "they're in the back.""And if the news has reached the airport? If they're searching for me? You don't know my father. He'll find--""Change out of that miserable dress, lass. I'll take care of the rest."She eyed him skeptically, wondering just how he could 'take care of the rest' in this case. If her father was searching for her, he
