Smoke, fire...I am surrounded by them but surprisingly no heat is reaching me instead I am shivering it's as if I am here still absent. I am in between nowhere, as far as my eyes can go, it's only smoke that I can see. Suddenly I hear a scream, turning I see a girl running in her white dress that has caught fire and she is crying for help, on instinct, I run behind her to help, calling her, but she heard nothing and kept running, me following behind her, until she falls on her knees heaving to get enough oxygen, but ends coughing due to smoke.Slowly I move forward and stood in front of her, giving my hand, I called for her but the moment she raised her head, a scream left my lips."No!!!!!"It was me.My face.Seeing her I stumbled back. She kept looking me dead in the eyes, her eyes held hatred for me pure hatred as if trying to rip my soul. Standing, she slowly moves towards me, then looking at me with piercing red, blazing eyes she accuses, "Look what you did to me. It's all bec
Third Person's POV " Tia, do I look good?" Asks a very adorable-looking Lucas wearing a tux. Tiara smiles nodding positively and thinking that when he will grow up, he is gonna make girls swoon over him."Do I like as handsome as Uncle Stefano?" Hearing the name Tiara's heart blooms and her breath hitches. Shaking her head for blushing just by thinking of Stefano, she Squats, and fixes Lucas's bow," You are looking more handsome than your Uncle." Lucas smiles wide and pecks her cheeks."I am offended." Hearing, the new voice, which is almost everywhere nowadays, both of them turn their heads to find Stefano leaning on the door frame, with one leg crossed. Giving a fake offended pout.It's rare seeing Stefano so cute. Tiara wanted to capture it. "Uncle Stefano." Smiling Lucas runs to his uncle making Tiara smile. She likes their bond and even is thankful that Stefano showers Lucas with lots of fatherly love. "Look, we match." He squeals happily, seeing his uncle, dressed just lik
Tiara's POV "Mom...mom?" Tiara kept pulling her mom's apron, while she was busy chopping vegetables. Her lips slowly turned into a pout, as she doesn't like not having her mom's attention. Her mom loves cooking, she believes it's like a meditation to her. It gives her immense joy when all of them smile with delight, eating her luscious food."Mom!!!" Tiara whined loudly, finally grabbing her mom's attention.Signing her turns, crouching to her level she eases the pout from her little girl's face with her tender fingers, "Yes princess. What do you want?" she asks in her usual soft voice. The tenderness in her voice filled Tiara with the belief, that she will get whatever she is about to ask her, " I want a prince charming!!!" the little girl said excitedly as she jumped up and down. Tiara's eyes shone with hope. Tiara believes her mom is a fairy and will fulfill all her wishes, as she always fulfills. But her mom gave no response, she kept looking at her. Little Tiara wasn't big e
Tiara's POV "Mam that would be 5 dollars." Paying the barrister, I took the warm coffee in my hand. Though I prefer cold coffee over warm, Rory's cafe sells one of the best chocolate coffee, hence I love my coffee from this cafe. Stepping out of the cafe. I tucked one hand in my hoody pocket and tugged my woolen hoody tighter. In a failed attempt to keep my body a bit warm. Since the winters have arrived in New York.When Trent told me that the New York crowd hides loners well, I didn't want to believe it. No place was ever good enough to hide me. But when I arrived here, my thoughts started to change. But I will always be ready. With one bag packed. Because I can never trust anyone or anyplace. The city is covered in white looking like some barbie movie scene. Preparations for Christmas have already been started.Thinking of Christmas, this will be the 1st time I won't be with my family. The thought made my heart shrink a bit. But this loneliness is better than risking their l
Tiara's POV "Nothing is looking good on me. " groaning, Lia throws herself a disapproving look in the mirror. I sigh for the hundredth time, knowing why is she not satisfied with herself.Because I was just like her if not for Celina, then I don't know how would have I managed all these dressing things. Thinking of Celina, I miss her, I miss her so much. She was my best friend, a friend, a friend I never had. She was the only one with whom I felt normal. And not to forget it's because of her I met Stefano and Lucas. Lucas, that little piece of my heart, I don't know how he is, I didn't even get the chance to tell him goodbye. I am sorry Lucas. "Tia...Tia. ""oh sorry I got lost." I apologized to a pouting Lia. Seeing how anxious she is. Yesterday after coming from her date, Lia was way happy, as the date went very well. she didn't wait for a sec when she started gushing about how good her date was, and how special he treated her. And she was also happy that he wanted her to mee
Shocked, I couldn't move. I could hear nothing all I saw, was a crowd gathered and bouncers started pulling Stefano away from the man, who's has gone limo, he was in between losing his consciousness. And I felt short of breath, my chest squeezing. I was suffocating. Taking the support of walls, I maneuvered from the mass of people, funding myself, to the exit. Abandoning the club I walked a little and hid in the ally beside the club. Sitting on the ground, I started taking deep breaths. My hands rubbed my chest. My vision was blurred and then I felt the streaming down from my face. And I knew I am having a panic attack. Deep breaths were no help. It was as if I forgot how to breathe. "Tiara.Tiara..." I can hear the voice but my body wasn't responding, as if everything was getting numb..." please baby please ...breath for me baby." slowly my brain registered the voice as Stefano's, and I once again tried breathing, the struggled continued but eventually I was able to come out of my
Stephano's POV TIARA WILLIAMS Who is this girl to me?I don't know.But what I know for sure is, that this girl, somehow has, become a great need of mine. I need her like one needs oxygen.She is like a drug. Which I knew is lethal still I took the risk only so that I can have a taste of her.And I thought tasting her once will be all I need. But what I forgot is once you taste the drug, it creates havoc in your head but at the same time the peace it brings makes you strive for more and more. And you keep doing it again and again, you risk everything. Put everything at stake. But you can't get rid of the addiction. Fuck!!!!She is everything I hate in a woman. She is sassy and likes to talk back. Even at our first meeting, she showed a mean attitude, that no woman before even attempted to do.Reckless. She is the definition of recklessness. She acts, before thinking. A trait, I hate people with. My brother Luciano possesses it too.And that is being unpredictable. All my life,
Tiara's POV Nights are always made for people to rest. Most people crave nights. They love the stars and moon and obsidian skies more than they like the sun. I was one of them too. After a long tiring day, I would wait for the bright rays of the sun to fade, the sky to turn orange, and gradually for it to be raven in color. And once the stars slowly start imitating the Christmas fairy lights. I would finish my dinner and would straight up go to my room, where I and my sister would climb to the roof of our window and would star gaze. With our eyes fixed on different constellations, we would hope for a shooting star. Meanwhile, we will run to each other all about how our day was spent. We were two normal sisters, talking about a teacher, boys, new fashion, new shows, and dreams. But that one incident changed everything. The comforting nights changed into nightmares. The rest turned into anxiety. I feared being with my thoughts and sleep was something that put the last nail in my c
