Re-Arranged Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Seven
"Liviana?" The Raven flinched at the sudden call of her name, shooting up from the sheets where she'd been left to rot away and ruminate for the day - or however long Blaze planned to disappear for this time - as her eyes snapped toward the door. Her brother stood in the doorway, rubbing at his tired eyes, his face twisted into a deep, irritated frown. "What's with all the noise?" "Tino! Hey!" She greeted the man through a clumsy smile, breathless and apologetic. "Good morning!" He paused at her suspiciously cheery tone and squinted his eyes, not bothering to return the pleasantries. "The noise?" He grumbled out, begging the question again. "What was it? Who's here?" "Oh, um- sorry," she started with a quick shake of her head, snapping herself back into reality. "Sorry about that. Leona stopped by, and, well, you know how she is. Y'know how excited she can get." "Excited?" He echoed, huffing out a quiet laugh through his nose. "That's a nice way of putting it." Livi merely humm

The conversation was short and simple, easier than Livi thought it would be - though, admittedly, she wasn't exactly paying attention...She sat silently on the bed, criss-crossed with her hands twisted in her lap, picking at her nails every so often just to pass the time and make it seem like she was doing something, anything, even if it was small and pointless. Even if it made her look weak, like some awkward little girl who didn't know what to do with herself or how to handle the trouble she dared to ask for. And she did. She asked for it. That was the worst part.Livi cursed herself for being so stupid, so naive. For insisting they open the door despite that awful feeling curling low in her gut, so deep and dark that it made her feel sick to her stomach. But what else was she supposed to do? Ignore Leona, of all people? Turn her away after everything? Lose her husband's respect over nothing but another bad feeling? She couldn't. It wasn't worth it. At least, that's what she tol

Sunlight trickled through the curtains, the birds chirping outside the window, dancing on the balcony's ledge while they sang their morning tunes, slowly drawing Liviana out of her slumber. The raven sucked in a deep breath, shifting against the sheets with a sleepy yawn, only to pause when she felt an unfamiliar weight blanketing her. She blinked her eyes open, her lashes fluttering softly against her cheeks with the effort, and she peeked down to see Blaze's arm slung across her midsection, still holding her tight, keeping her close. She smiled at the sight, at the way he felt lying next to her, a solid wall of warm, comforting muscle, and she couldn't help but stare when her eyes traveled up the length of his arm to his face, taking a second to admire him in all his sleepy glory. He was sprawled out on his stomach, one arm thrown over her waist and the other draped across his pillow, clutching at the silk case. His hair, usually pushed back and tame, was splayed around his head i

The door shut behind them with a decisive click, followed by the sound of the lock sliding into place, loud and final, ringing in their ears like an alarm bell.Blaze lingered by the door, watching as his wife trailed away with a heavy sigh."Liv-""Sorry, sorry, sorry," she hushed out apology after apology, keeping her back to him as she began to cry. "God, I'm so sorry! I don't know what's wrong with me..." she muttered, utterly humiliated, cursing herself for the scene.As if her mother hadn't done enough already, here she was making it worse..."Fuck, I'm sorry. I-" she hiccupped, clutching at her chest, crying harder once she realized she couldn't stop the tears. "Fuck..."Blaze frowned, watching as her shoulders shook with each heartbreaking sob."No, love, it's fine. You're fine," he swore, taking a single step closer, as if to convince her. "You've got nothing to apologize for. Alright? There's nothing wrong with you."Naturally, she couldn't help but disagree."But there is!

The ride was quiet, almost awkward, for all of ten minutes before the man caved - a record, he was sure.“Are you okay?” Blaze finally asked, turning her way after what felt like an eternity’s worth of silence.When Livi offered a simple hum in response, nothing more, he sighed.“Are you sure?” he went on, fingers tapping nervously on his legs, drumming the tune of some distant song. “You’re not... upset with me?” He lowered his voice with the question, as if he were scared to ask, scared to know what she would say.She swallowed hard, eyes slowly tearing themselves away from the scenery outside, forcing them to meet his eyes. “I-“ she started, the word ‘yes’ on the tip of her tongue.But one look at his face, all hopeful and heartbroken and beautifully torn, and she couldn’t bring herself to do it.“No,” she answered after a second thought, voice softening as she took the time to take him in. Her eyes trailed over the blood, the bruises, the shame that brewed in his eyes with somethi

“You really don’t know what happened?”“No,” Leona answered, voice flat as she stared down at her phone screen.“You’re sure they didn’t mention anything?” Violet continued, practically interrogating the woman, who couldn’t be less interested. “Anything at all?”“Nope. Nothing.”“Really?” Violet pressed her. “Nothing?”Leo sighed, confirming again that no, they didn’t tell her a damn thing. “If they had, I would’ve told you by now,” she swore.The disbelief is written across Violet’s face and evident in the way she rolled her eyes. “Sure, you would,” she muttered, turning away from the woman with another heavy sigh, knowing that their history said otherwise.Leona scoffed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”The blonde shook her head, answering, “Nothing...”“No, what was that?” Leona demanded. “You don’t believe me?”“I never said that.”“But you implied it,” Leo shot back, lifting a brow as she asked, “Why? Do you not trust me anymore?”Another sigh. “Leo, please. Don’t start.”The woma
