The moment I tasted blood in my mouth, I knew it wasn't mine. It was hers. Again. They said I was weak. An omega. A wife. A shadow. But I burned everything they gave me—and walked away. Now, years later, I am back. Not as his mate. Not as his Luna. But as someone stronger. Someone he can’t control. He looks at me with those green eyes like I’m still his. But he gave me away. To her. Sienna smiles like a queen. But behind those lips, I smell lies. And death. They want me close. They think I’ll break. But I didn’t rise from ashes to fall again. This time, I’m not running. I’m hunting. And they won’t see me coming.
もっと見るNichole Lockwood had walked straight into the Exxon Mobil company looking so gorgeous that morning.
I’ve gotta job,”she had said to herself while smiling and walking elegantly towards the reception stand.
“Hi, I’m Nichole Lockwood and I’ve been employed to work as the secretary to the CEO of this company,” she had said while flashing a cute smile at the receptionist.
“Hey, it’s good to have you here Miss Lockwood, ”she had said.”
“She look so calm for the CEO who is so violent,saucy,rude and harsh.” The receptionist had mumbled to herself.
“Sorry, did you say something?”Nichole had asked.
“Of course not, can I see your credentials Miss Lockwood?” She had asked while stretching out her hand to receive them .
“Sure,”Nichole had replied.Slowly,she had given them to the receptionist who went through them before handing them back to her.
“You are good to go, Miss Lockwood. The CEO’s office is upstairs by the left. The first office you get to see. Please ensure to knock and wait patiently for the response before your entrance. Congratulations, Miss Lockwood .” She had said to her.
“Thank you so much ma’am ,” she had said in appreciation to the receptionist.
“C’mon Miss Lockwood, that was not necessary. My bad! Sorry for the misconduct . I’m Helena Smith. Once again, it’s a pleasure to have you here and at the same time, you’re welcome,” Miss Helena, the receptionist had said to her.
“I will be on my way to the CEO’s office right away,”she had said to Helena.
Walking through the stairs, she walks quietly while in admiration of the company’s building.On getting to the CEO’s door, she had knocked and had waited for response just as the receptionist had told her.When no response came, she had to knock for the second time but more harder this time.
“Come in,”a voice which seems to be that of the CEO came.Quietly,she had opened the door and walked in.The CEO was backing the table when she came in.
“And you are?” Martino Brown, who was the CEO of Exxon Mobil group of companies had asked bluntly.
“Nichole Lockwood, sir. The new Secretary. I look forward to working smoothly with you to ensure the progress of your company.” Quietly,Martino had turned the seat and now facing her, he said ,
“You won’t seem to afford this company even in your death, so do not make mention of making the company progress because as you can see, it has already made a lot of progress, ok?”He had said coldly.
“Yes Sir,”Nichole had replied calmly.
“I suggest you get to work, Miss Lockwood. Take those documents on top of that cabinet over there to Clifford’s office.” He said to her. Looking really confused since it was her very first time of work in the company and she doesn’t seem to know who goes by the name, she had asked her boss gently,
“excuse me Sir but I’m new here and I don’t seem to know my way around here.”Martino had looked into her eyes for some seconds before he responded,
“well, Miss Lockwood, this attitude you just exhibited shows how incompetent you will be, but, nevermind,I will just let it slide for today, but next time, I will make sure to get you fired, do I make myself clear?” He asked.
“Yes Sir, Nichole had responded coldly.”
“The office just by your right, the very first one, that’s his office. Tell him I want him to look into those documents and get back to me as soon as possible.”
He had said while pulling out the drawer of the table.
“Okay sir,” she said while leaving for Clifford’s office. Getting to Clifford’s office, she had knocked severally but no response came and finally, she decided to make her way into the office. Luckily for her, the door wasn’t bolted. A young beautiful lady was found naked on the table. Her succulent breasts were seen. “Her legs were so hot,arghh…,”they seem to be having a good time. Clifford’s hands were placed comfortably on the lady’s breast, he was fumbling not only the breast but also her nipples which were so pointed. He also had his dick placed comfortably in her vagina,she seems to be so wet since the motion in which the dick goes to and fro was mind blowing. With Clifford going in and out of her, they didn’t seem to know when Nichole had entered. Clifford was fucking her so harddd!
“Hey Clifford, seemed to be knocking for a while now but no response .The boss instructed me to leave this with you. He’s looking forward to your response soon. Oh! My bad, I’m Nichole Lockwood, the new secretary.”Nichole had said while still in possession of the documents.
“You gotta learn some manners, Miss Lockwood, you can drop the files over there, he said while pointing to another table still in the same office and shut the door after you leave.” He had said rudely to her.
“Sure,Mr.Clifford,sorry for the inconveniences, “she had responded to him while leaving the files on the table he pointed at .
She had also left and shut the door calmly after her. Clifford had gone back to fucking the lady even before she could leave the office. This time, the lady had to place his dick into her mouth while stroking them so tenderly with her two hands to turn him on once more. His sperm seem to be getting into her mouth and not only were they getting into her mouth, it had spread massively to down to her jaws as his dick was so huge. Clifford had caressed her hair while she was on that,Nichole had witnessed this herself before leaving the office. Going back to the the CEO’s office, she had knocked and was asked to come in.She had also shut the door after she came in.
“The documents have been delivered sir,”Nichole had said to Martino.
Okay then, you may leave for your office, the next door beside mine, that’s your office. Take these documents with you while leaving and sort them out accordingly. Bring them back to me before the end of today.” He said to her.
“Thank you so much sir,”Nichole had said while picking up the documents from where they were. She walks towards the door and let herself out while shutting the door after her.
Quietly, she had sat down on the chair and had started to sort out the documents. They were too much for her to finish a day but she can’t afford to fail her boss. She was going to prove him wrong.
It was at exactly 12:00am that Miss Nichole Lockwood got to finish up with the work being assigned to her. It was really draining for her.Slowly,she had shut her office door and had walked to the CEO’s office. She knocks and when the response came, she had walked into the office. The CEO seemed to be busy and had asked her to place the documents on the table. After doing that, she had walked down the stairs. She leaves through the entrance door which she had walked in from earlier on. Everywhere was so quiet since it was already late and people had gone home. She had boarded a cab just as she leaves the company. On her way home, she had battled with her thought. She had asked herself series of questions while trying to answer them also. From asking herself why the CEO was so rude to her to asking herself if she would ever be able to pull up with the whole drama. It was just her first day at work and heavens were already let loose. She had just recalled when she heard Helena, the receptionist mumble some words. She didn’t get to hear her clearly though. She had made up her mind to ask her the following day. Not too long, Nichole was already home. She had opened her apartment and walked in quietly while turning on the lights. Feeling so exhausted, she had decided to make some omelets that night before going to bed. After she was done with her dinner, she had showered and changed to her nighties. Picking up her phone, she finds out that her mom already called her.Urghh,she has been so busy to even take her calls. She had called her mom immediately.
“Hey mom, how are you?” She asked.
“I’m cool Nichole, coming back from work?” She asked.
“Yh yh,it was so hectic today mom.” She said.
You gotta stay strong,ok?I love you Nichole, I have to go now, good night.” She said to her child.
“Sure mom, I love you more, good night,” she replies while holding the pillow so tight to her chest. Dropping her phone on the table just next to the bed, she had taken the duvet and covered herself in it.She knows she is in for more drama the next day since her first day was hell.
“You can’t give up now Nichole,you have yourself, Jack and Mum to take care of.” She had said confidently to herself. She had turned off the bulb and closed her eyes. She had to face tomorrow and pull up with whatever comes with it.
Nichole had set alarm earlier on and was able to wake up early and prepare for work. She had brushed her teeth, taken her bath and walking straight towards her wardrobe, she had brought out a black corporate gown. She had also brought out her heels that were about 16 inches high. She had put on the dress which seems to be exposing her well endowed boobs. She had also put on the heels and afterwards, she had combed her black, curly hair which laid all the way from her shoulder down to her back. She had also put on some makeup after which she picks up her necklace and jewelry and puts them on. She wore some perfumes while picking up a red handbag from her bag cabinet.Quickly,she had walked down the stairs like a queen she was looking damn beautiful.
She had boarded a bus which had taken her to her place of work. Walking into the company building, she had walked majestically to the reception stand.
“Hi, Helena, what’s up with you?”Nichole asked.
“Cool, sweetheart," Helena had replied.
“Urmmm…, Helena, please I would love to know what kind of man the CEO is.I would not mind if you give me that in details, his dos and don’ts. Nichole had pleaded with her softly.
“Well, the CEO is a strict one to begin with. He’s harsh with his words towards people. As his secretary, you are to know that lateness to work is never an option.
Early each morning, ensure that you have his office well arranged while placing each document just as you’ve seen them.
Secondly, once you get a sight of him settled in his office, get him a cup of coffee since that is one of the routine he has.
Thirdly, ensure to always be in your office and await any work he has for you notwithstanding the nature of the work.I think all of these I already mentioned should do, Nichole. Please feel free to come to me if you need any other thing,ok?” She had concluded with her talk.
“Sure and thank you so much,Helena,”Nichole had appreciated her.
“It’s my pleasure, Miss Lockwood, ”she had replied.
Taking a quick pace up the stairs, Nichole had unlocked her office and dropped her bags on the table while at the same time, rushing to the CEO’s office. She had already gotten the spare keys from the receptionist. She unlocked the office door while rushing in to put the office in order. The whole place was in a bit mess. Right there on the table was a plate which had sticks of already used cigarettes in them. Nichole had started with that. She had picked up the plate calmly while disposing them off in the trash bin.She also swept and mopped the floor. She also placed the documents which were littered not only on the table but also on the cabinet just close to the edge of the right hand side of the exit door properly.
The cleanup was done and Nichole had left for her own office. Her office was not messy so she did not find it difficult to wrap up with the clean up. And now, she was set to begin her work for the day.
Immediately, she sat quietly on the office chair and picking up her laptop, she had gone through the mails and had them sorted out. She wrote down all the meetings and appointments her boss will be having that day. She also responded to the ones that she was meant to respond to. Just as she was about to leave the office for the company’s cafeteria, the telephone rang and when she took the call, it was her boss, the CEO.He had ordered her to come to his office immediately. With no hesitation, she had left for his office .
“At your service sir,” she had said when she walked into the office.
“Get me a cup of coffee,” he said to her.
“Sure,” she replied while walking to the coffee cart to get the coffee. She had picked a cup from where the cups are being placed and had placed it right under the coffee machine after which she pressed the first button on the machine which indicates “on.” The coffee had poured in gently into the cup, and when the coffee cup was almost filled up, she had turned off the button thereby bringing the coffee which was pouring into the cup to a stop. She had also taken a little tray and placed the cup of coffee on it.
Slowly, she had walked up the stairs towards the CEO’s office. She had also let herself in since the door was ajar.Quietly,she had entered the office and in the process of trying to place the tray which had the cup of coffee on it, she had stumbled which ends up bringing the cup of coffee shattering to the floor. And her worst nightmare just began. Slowly,Martino had walked up to her while giving her a resounding slap. Sparkling stars seems to had out shadowed her eyes as she staggers while trying so hard in maintaining her stand. Her eyes seems to be clouding with tears but on a second thought, she had fought back.
“Apologies sir,” she had said in a bit shaky voice.
“You know, getting you fired is never too hard for me, it’s just a snap of a finger, Miss Lockwood, ”he had said into her ears.
“It’s never gonna happen again, sir,” she replied him.
“Whatever, just get this shit out of my face, it irritates me and so do you,” he had said to her coldly.
Still in shock of what just transpired between her and her boss, she had walked out of the office while coming back in a haste to clean up the mess. She had trashed them on her way back to her own office. “He’s so mean, rude, arrogant, violent, proud, just name it, if there were words worse than these words, Nichole would have also made reference to them.” She had sat down quietly while still lost in her own thoughts. For how long was she going to deal with this evil creature in the form of a human? She had also thought loudly. Just then, she had gotten another call from her boss,Martino Brown and since she was not in for another drama, she had picked up the call immediately.
“I need your presence in my office now, Miss Lockwood, and mind you one more nonchalant attitude from you, I swear with everything I hold onto that you are gonna be fired.” He concluded.
Hurriedly, she had walked to the CEO’s office. Just as she approached his office, she was fighting with her reasoning on what he was up to this time.
“At your service,Sir,”she had said just as she got to be in the office.
“The company will be celebrating a huge contract we just successfully completed and we will be having some group of distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Your presence is highly needed not because I need you around but for you to get to know out acknowledgeable clients since you are my new secretary. Be in your best outfit and also look your very best tomorrow. I think that’s all for now, you can kindly take your filthy self out of my office.” He had concluded.
“Thank goodness I didn’t get to get another slap on my cheek,” she had thought deeply just as she leaves the office.Meanwhile,she had already made up her mind to deal with whatever comes out from the job. It wasn’t going to be easy though but she will definitely surpass it if she decides to get used to all the dramas he will always come up with. She had walked back to her office and sorted out the necessary documents she had to sort out. She had also cancelled all the meetings supposed to be held by her boss since a celebration on a huge success is about to go down.
Luckily for her, she was able to finish up and in no distant time was set to leave for her home. Before she left, she had ensured that she gave a full report of the day’s activities to her boss and just as she was about leaving for her place in a cab, she remembered she had a catch up to do with her girls. Angelina and Cassandra seems to be the only friends that Nichole has. They all had grown up together in the same neighborhood until when they became of age and started having a taste of what life has to offer. While Angelina and her mom moved to another city not so far from their recent neighborhood, Cassandra had gone to Switzerland to pursue her education and after she had done that, she had come down to America but no longer in their supposed to be neighborhood. It was only Nichole’s family that still resides there although she doesn’t stay with them any longer. She had gone to search for a greener pasture since her mom didn’t seem to have her business going smoothly for her. Her younger brother, Jack was not left out of the scene. Her was still in high school. Poor Nichole! She was the one seeing to the bills that ever came across her family’s way. She had sworn to carry the cross in their name. She had also promised to make life easier for her brother since she didn’t find it funny growing up as a child. Her father, Robert Lockwood had died in his early age. Her mother really saw hell trying to bring her and her younger brother up. Just as the cab came to a halt in front of the Love Garden suite, she had walked straight to where her girls were sitted waiting patiently for her.
“What took you so long Nicky?” Angelina had asked her out of concern.
“Work,urghh…,it was so hectic today though I didn’t get to do much work but I got hit by my boss,” she replied while sitting down.
“He did what? That motherfucker has no fear to actually raise his god damn hands on you. I’m going to reach out to my lawyer, but first and foremost I will get him arrested, sue him and make sure he rots in jail for laying his filthy hands on you.” Cassandra had said angrily.
“I’m fine Cassi, so there would be no need to arrest or sue anyone,ok?” Nichole had said to her friend.
“So girls, what’s popping, so sorry I’m late.” She had said apologetically.
“It’s fine since you have a tangible reason for that, Nicky love, I was discussing something with Angelina just before you came and I’m pretty sure you will love the idea.” She said while sitting up to give her the detailed story of what they were discussing just before she came in.
“Okayyyy,can someone please blow up my mind with this idea of hers?” She had queried.
“Remember the picnic we earlier planned during the beginning of this year?” Cassandra had asked while looking directly into Nichole’s face.
“Yh, I do,” she replied while still surprised because they were not prepared yet as of the last time it was brought up.
“Yuppie! We will be going tomorrow since you said you won’t be going to work tomorrow and Cassandra and I are also less busy tomorrow, so I think tomorrow is a very perfect day for that baby.” She had said to her happily.
“Well,urmm…, sorry to disappoint you guys but I think tomorrow isn’t just the best day.” She had said calmly while looking at them.
“But why not, Nicky, we all don’t seem to be busy tomorrow so I think it’s perfectly the best day for it.”Helena had chipped in.
“The thing is, I have to be somewhere important tomorrow. The company in which I work in will be hosting a very big party because of the great success they made in the completion of one of their contract.” She said to them.
“C’mon, Nichole,so what does that got to do with you?” Cassandra had asked while looking directly into her face for answers as if to say they were written there.
“My presence is needed,Cassie since I am his new secretary. He wants me to get to know our important clients and some other stuffs. Buddies, you guys know how mean my boss can be, I just got this job and I can’t afford to loose it, I just promise that I will make it up to you guys,ok?” She had said while standing to her feet and giving them a peck on their cheek.
“He better don’t do anything funny because I won’t condone it this time. I won’t just sit back and watch him maltreat you like some piece of trash, so he should call himself to order or face the wrath of any mischievous behavior he is scheming and planning to execute.” Cassandra had said.
Nichole had taken some soda drinks and some steamed meat while they talked about the old days. It was such a sweet memories they had together. They had sworn to always be there for each other no matter how tough things get. They had also laughed at the funny moments they had together in the past.
Nichole was done with her drink and finally, it was time for them to go home. They had held each other while walking towards Cassandra’s car. Just as they drove off, Cassandra had played one of the songs they had enjoyed together. It was “Love You” by Daniel Thompson. Nichole who sat at the back seems to be enjoying the atmosphere; the breeze, the cool music and other beautiful sites.
Cassandra was going to drop her friends before she heads for home. Just as she had dropped them off at their various homes, she had also found her way home in the dark roads that seem so calm and quiet. Just as they had all gotten to their various homes, they had placed a group call to ensure that they all got home safely. They were never ready to trade each other for riches, be it money, gold or silver. Nichole had taken off her clothing and had walked into her bathroom naked. Her body depicts the real view of a model. Her nipples stood so erect pointing towards the direction she was going to; the bathroom. Her dark curly hair which is seen strolling down to her back was not left out.Quietly,she had made herself comfortable on the bathtub as the foams that were in it covered her. She had washed her hair slowly. She had also lifted her left breast in an attempt to wash its underneath thoroughly. She had done same for the left one too. As soon as she was done washing herself, she had walked out quietly from the tub and walked towards the direction where her towel was placed. The towel was sparkling clean, so spotless since it was white in colour.Slowly,she had mopped up the water on her body. She did same for her hair too. When she was done, she had placed the towel in its position while picking up her transparent night gown. She puts them on and picked up the hair dryer to dry up the water in her hair. Just as she was done, she had gone to bed while putting off the light bulbs. She didn’t bother to eat anything since she already had something to eat with the girls. She had also covered her eyes with her eyes mask. She had gone to bed earlier since she knows what awaits her the next day. She was going to prove her boss wrong and make him see more reasons why her presence is of much benefit to the company. “He’s so hard to impress though.” She had said before the total blackout.
The next day, Nichole had woken up very early in the morning, taken her bath and had taken some noodles since she didn’t get the time to prepare something more befitting.
The celebration was to be held at Beverly Hills hotel. She had walked in a gorgeous cherry red dress which was a bit skimpy. She had worn a pair of black high heel shoes. She had put on a light make up,a pair of golden earrings. Her black purse was not left behind. She had also worn some perfumes on her body. The tables were all set and everywhere was sparkling like the morning sun.
The whole serene really felt her presence just as she walked elegantly with her face straight up. She already showed her invitation card to the receptionist before entry since that was the only gate pass she had. The CEO,her boss had given her one the day before the faithful day.
On her arrival, she had met just few number of people hanging around the place. Some of them had stood in twos and even in threes discussing and catching up on some kind of fun she does not seem to know about. It was really a good time for them since their faces were all bright with cute smiles across their faces. Nichole could not say if that was same for her too. Some of the guests were also at the bar stand trying to raise their minds,souls,bodies and spirits in readiness to blow up the hotel with their mad vibes once the party kicks off. Nichole had looked around and didn’t seem to find any face that seems familiar to her.
“They are really men of great caliber,” she had said loudly to herself.
Turning to the entrance of which she just passed through not quite long ago was her boss walking just straight into the hotel. He had walked with an absolute authority with his shoulders raised high. His eyes also appeared cold as always.
“Is he always like this?” Nichole had thought.
He had walked boldly like he owned the place.
“Maybe he does, who knows,” she keeps on wallowing in her own thoughts. With his chin raised, he had adjusted his tie and his presence seems to have cleared the way for brightness to overshadow the dark. His nice haircut kept him so clean, his suit was untouchable with his well polished shoes which exudes wealth. He was every woman’s come through man. The citrus fragrance of his perfume never seizes to light up the place. He really shook not only the walls of the building but also the grounds honored his presence.
As his personal secretary, she had walked up to him and stretching out her right hand for a handshake, she said,
“congratulations sir on your massive achievement.”
“Well, you see, I did not come this far just from whiling away my time doing nothing. This company still stands today because of my immeasurable hard work, sweat, just name it, Miss Lockwood, I hope you get to live with this piece of advice I just passed to you and always make your damn self useful. I will be needing you around to introduce my potential clients to you. I want you to get conversant with them.” He had concluded.
“Always at your service sir,” she had replied.
Just as she walked close to him, he had taken her around the place while introducing her to his potential clients.
After he had successfully got to introduce her to all the potential clients who graced the occasion, he had walked up to the stage while taking up the microphone. He had put on a warming smile as he adjusted his suit collar. He did put on a smile while stretching his hands humbly to the clients. That really amazed her. She had never seen him in such comfortable way for the past few days she had worked with him.
“He’s really a workaholic, he does more of work than having pleasure.” She whispers to herself.
“Good day ladies and gentlemen, I’m really baffled on how you all graced my invitation on this very day. It’s really my pleasure to have you all around. This day won’t have ever been able to come into existence if not for the efforts we put into it and notwithstanding the challenges we encountered while still on the process, we had conquered and that is the main reason we are here today. The Exxon Mobil group of companies had signed a contract with the Ford motors and have also completed it successfully. We are never backing down. We are working towards attaining more of these goals. One of the major things that keeps me going is resilience and mind you, never attempt to mix work with pleasure. Also, endeavor to utilize properly any little time you have and be ready to devour any opportunity you get as they seem so hard to come by everyday. Thank you all once again for being here to celebrate in my success.” He had concluded.
Just then, round of applause were echoing as people cheered him on when he was done with his speech. They were lots of food which was more than enough for anyone present.
Nichole had gotten herself a glass of red wine from the party just as Martino was still on his speech. It just seems like she knew she won’t be able to get herself some food since she had to walk next to her boss all day.
Just as the whole celebration was over, she had taken a cab home while still lost in thought of how she ended in such mess all in the name of work. She was enjoying the fresh air that blew into the cab.
“It has been a very long day,” she had said while shutting her eyes.
SEBASTIANI Will Do Anything To Save Her“Lucas? Have you found anything yet?” I yelled across the hall.“Nope, nope. Nothing on my end. Anything on yours?”We had been inside the castle now for a good half hour, but we had not yet had any breakthrough of any sort. I had not even caught a flicker of Athena's scent, talk more of catching sight of her or anything that belonged to her on the night.“No, not yet,” I replied to Lucas. But then, a scent caught the top of my nose. “Wait a minute.”“What? You found something?” Lucas asked.“Yeah, I think I have. I've got this familiar scent. It is weak, so I do not precisely know where it is coming from. But I am going to try and follow it nonetheless.”“Is it Athena's?”“It is a very faint scent, Lucas. I do not think I can deduce if it belongs to Athena with sample sizes this low.”“Well, fine then. Find its source so we can know what we are dealing with.”Soon, the scent led us across the hall and into another room. I tried to open the doo
SEBASTIANAthena Is Missing!Music. Rhythm. This steps to the left and right. And feeling the what of Sienna's body against mine, feeling her every breath clatter against the hairs in my partly bare chest.All was good, great even. I mean, there were still personal, internal, powerful doubts about Sienna and my feelings for her. But at least having these kinds of moments with her were incredibly nice, and maybe it was even helping me be more decisive. In these moments, she was not being a bitchy woman to any one around her. She was more homely, less antagonistic, things that I loved.But a bitter, grey blanket still hung over this moment, as beautiful as it was. It was Athena, every thought of her tugged at me like a spike painted in bitter, black paint. And that was not the worst part. The worst part was that no matter what I did, no matter how much I tried to immerse myself in the present moment, I just could not get my mind off her. Every thought of her was just too persistent that
SEBASTIANHer Absence Keeps Being An Issue“What is that supposed to mean, Sebastian? I thought you had asked me this before?” “Yes, and I am asking you again. Where is she? You were the last person I saw her with.”“I do not know, Sebastian. I already told you where I left her and where she was headed at the time. So I really wonder what all these antics of yours are for. You care for that woman too much. For someone who says she is his ex wife and that he has moved on from her, she occupies your mind an awful lot.”“Do not even begin with this, Sienna. You are doing that thing where you try to emotionally blackmail me again.”“I have not done anything except to tell you the truth, Sebastian. But of course, it is not meant to be soothing. After all, the truth,they say, is bitter, is it not? You care for Athena too much. Forget her. She is doing ok, let's enjoy the moment instead, enjoy it with me.” Sienna clutched my body even more, probably in an attempt to immerse me in the moment
SEBASTIANA DanceSiena's laughs were uneven and unusually paced. “What do you mean ‘drugged her?’ Is that meant to be a joke or what?”“Yes, Sienna, it was meant to be a joke. But of course, you take things too seriously.”“Well, whatever. Athena followed me when I went to the garden by the corner of the house.”“What? Why did you go there? And by this time of the night too? When its beauty is covered by blanketing absoluteness darkness”“It is my house, is it not? I can go anywhere I want.”“Well…” I replied. “So that is where Athena is at now? By the garden?”“Oh, I do not think so, I left her there when coming out, but she did say that was going inside to get something. I do not know what she was referring to though.”“Alright, alright. That's cool.” I did not want to say anything else. I knew that the more pressure I put on Sienna, the more it made her jealous of the care that I directed Athena's way. She had made a great effort to pursue peace and at least try to please me at su
SEBASTIANThat Gut FeelingMusic was playing in the background, soothingly so. Still, there was this uneasiness that was irking me. Chipping me with a disturbing form of relentlessness. It was something I could not ignore. Definitely not.Lucas, my old friend who was still in town, had done me a favour and came for the party, a gesture that delighted me. But even delighted people get set off with alarms, and I had the front seat row to it right now.“Hey man, what's up? What's on your mind? You seem disturbed,” Lucas asked me, peering into my eyes like he was searching for a reason to prove that his questions were indeed right.I smiled and looked at him. “Why would you think that? Of all things? That I am disturbed by something? And that during a beautiful party like this.”“Well, I mean. I am not the one who is looking anxious, you are. I would not know why the anxiety is there, you are the one who would know.”“Yeah, well. I do not know what exactly is going on, man. There's just t
ATHENASienna's A Friend, Or Is She?“Hey guyyyyysss, what is going on here?” Sienna said, in very unusual manner.
