Julia’s POV

Josh furrowed his eyebrows, a confused look etched on his beautiful face. I hate to hurt him like this. We just started dating and boom! Tristan happened. I should never have gone to Tristan’s cottage. I should have given someone else the tray to take to him. I should have avoided Tristan at all cost, like we agreed.

“I don’t understand,” he paused and placed his hands on his waist, “what is over?”

I swallowed, blinking away the tears that welled up in my eye. “Us. Whatever there was between us is over.” Please go away Josh, don’t fight this. Don't make this harder than it has to be.

But knowing Josh, h would not walk away. Not without a convincing for the breakup.

He blinked severally as though struggling to understand what I just said. “Whatever there is between us?” hurt flashed in his eyes.

“Babe, just talk to me. Whatever happened we can get through it together. I promise.”

His word felt like a knife being twisted in my chest. I wish this was something we could talk a

  • Passion or Revenge    16: Emergency Fingers

    Julia’s POVI stirred as the light fell on my face.The memories of the previous night came flooding back, making my lips stretch in a small, satisfied smile. The way we kissed we such passion that threatened to consume me, the feel of his hands as he caressed my naked skin, the feel of his member as it delivered mind shattering strokes….How could so bad feel so damn good? And that wasn’t the worst part.The worst part was that I still wanted a repeat of last night.My eyelids flickered open with the hopes of catching a glimpse of Tristan, but to my surprise his part of the bed was empty.That was when I heard it.The melodious tune coming from outside the room. Someone was playing the piano. It had to be Tristan.I climbed out of bed and grabbed his shirt from the floor and threw it on.I stepped out of the room, following the sound of the music till I can to a stop outside of a room.Stealthily, I pushed the door open and found Tristan in front of a grand piano, his long fingers sk

  • Passion or Revenge    15: All shades of wrong and pleasure

    Julia’s POVMaybe I shouldn’t have said anything.But he would have still found out either way. We were just about to have sex! This was better. Yes.On the bright side, even though my entire body was aflame with longings that I have never felt before and dying to grab his member and inserting inside me; at least I get to save myself for someone that deserves me. Someone that did not blackmail me into becoming his property.I folded my hand over my chest, a weak attempt at covering my shame. I’m not even sure why I was feeling ashamed. I did not do anything wrong.I should leave. Yes, it was better than standing here and enduring this awful silence.I spun around and headed for the door.“Are you scared?” his voice boomed coolly from behind me.I halted almost immediately, my hand freezing on the door knob but I didn’t dare look back. I didn’t want to see the horror in his eyes. I did not want him to reject me. I inhaled sharply. “Yes.”“Good. I am anything but gentle.”It’s a good th

  • Passion or Revenge    14: Mine

    Julia’s POVI downed the first glass of champagne in one gulp and stretched out my glass for a refill.“Easy tiger,” Tristan chuckled as he refilled my glass.What did he expect? He can’t just tell a girl that he flew her miles away from home just to make her his. And by his, I am almost certain he meant sex but just to be certain I had to ask.“What did you mean by what you said?” I asked as I took a sip of my drink. It was best to be sober for whatever it was that Tristan had planned for tonight.I hated that the thought of sex with Tristan excited me and caused a strange warmth to pool between my legs. I should be repulsed, angry even, but instead I am flushed like some stupid virgin about to lose her virginity to the love of her life. Which, of course, was not my situation. Tristan took away my opportunity to lose my virginity to my sweet ex-boyfriend.Josh had been beyond surprised when he found out that I was still a virgin. He said we would take it slow until I was ready to tak

  • Passion or Revenge    13: Portland

    Julia’s POVThe only thing I hated more than secrets was having to keep a secret, especially keeping a secret from my best friend. I hate having to lie to Imogen, but what to do. The secret I overheard from Agatha and Tilda’s conversation a few days ago, was way too big and was eating me up inside. But Agatha was right, it is a secret that would crush Imogen and I cannot bare to see Imogen fall apart. So I have to keep thins secret from her in other to protect her.But keeping the secret would be pointless if Imogen does not stay away from Mason. I had really hoped that offering my savings to Imogen would convince her to leave town, but it didn’t. It nearly caused a rift between Imogen and myself. But thank God it didn’t. I would just have to keep an eye on Imogen and make sure she does not go anywhere close to Mason.“What do you think Julia?” Lucretia’s voice drifted into my thoughts.My head snapped up almost immediately. “What?”A small frown creased Tristan’s face as his Lucretia

    Imogen’s POVI stirred as the light, filtering in through the window, hit my face. I made to stretch but I bumped into another body. My eyelids immediately flew open, I craned my head and found Agatha fast asleep behind me, with her arm still draped loosely around my chest.A warm feeling slowly began to fill my chest but I immediately pushed it away. The last time Agatha had been this way with me was when I was thirteen and had gotten my period for the first time. I had been so terrified and uncomfortable, my father had to call Agatha and she came back home to give me ‘the talk’. I had felt so much better. But Agatha was gone the very next morning and I didn’t see her until my fourteenth birthday when she took me away.Agatha was terrible at showing love, if I didn’t know better I would think she wasn’t my mother. For every tiny act of love she showed me, she ripped my life further apart. She may have given birth to me, but she was not my mother. She never has been.I removed her han

  • Passion or Revenge    11: A shattered heart and vase

    Imogen’s POVI blinked in confusion. I thought we just hugged it out and forgiven each other. Why then does she want me to leave again? Something was up with Julia, I could tell from the way she fiddled with her necklace pendant. She usually did that when something was wrong or when she was trying to hide something. “Weren’t you the one that convinced Agatha to let me stay?” Or was I wrong to think that.She sighed and created more distance between us. “I did. And I regret it.”Ok that hurt. The sincerity in her eyes as she said those words hurt more than the words themselves. But a part of me still did not believe that Julia truly wanted me gone. Something was definitely going on with her but what? Was that also why she broke up with Josh too?“Jules….”“Listen,” she took my hands, her eyes, filled with concern, were boring into mine, “I have some money saved up. You can add that to the one you have saved up. It should be enough for you to move to New York like you always wanted. Sta
