The set was dark and eerily quiet without a person in sight, i guess that everyone was already present at the event.

I held on to my phone which was the only source of light, my footsteps echoing as i walked past some props that had been neatly arranged in a brown box.

I walked to my locker room pulling out the keys as it jingled in the silence. I waved my phone around trying to spot where the dress was or where the vice director must have left it.

My flashlight landed on a red dress that hung on a mannequin. A quick sigh escaped my lips...... I had found it, albeit not in a very good condition.

It was torn and shredded with the pieces of red clothes laying around the base of the mannequin.

I clicked my tongue, cursing my miserable luck. I walked up to it, my hands tracing the fabric - this dress was practically unsalvageable.

It was a sleeveless long dress, embroidered with golden threads that were vibrant and full of vigor. Such an expensive piece of artwork had now been reduc

  • SELENE WOODS    CHAPTER 63

    I wore a short black sleeveless dress that hugged my features tightly like a second skin, accentuating my curves. Paired with a pair of thick laced black stockings that concealed my prosthetic leg. I.......never having the need to dress up or look extraordinarily extravagant, took the time to look good tonight. And that too, all for one graduation ceremony. I lifted the end of my lips - Rachel would be livid if she actually found out about my little dress up frenzy. Knowing fully well that i had turned down her fashion proposals countless times, but tonight was different.....i had to look my very best for Dean.That's the very least i could do - Not embarrassing him in public by wearing my usual boring mediocre outfits. Today was his big day after all."You look gorgeous, so, don't fret." I raised my head, eyes lingering on Richard's charming face as he draped his big furry coat over my shoulders, his arms wrapping tightly around my waist.I gave him a subtle look."My dear, y

    I took a few steps past him, my footsteps halting as i suddenly remembered something important. A task that i had wished to show him. "Hey, Uhm!!" - I brought out my phone, my fingers tapping on the screen as i walked back to him. "I was wondering, if you could help me with this." I showed him a picture of an abandoned funeral parlour that Marceline had sent to me few minutes earlier on my drive back home. I had only glanced at it briefly before, but i could already tell that's where they were keeping Camille's body - probably with hopes of disposing it off properly, in order to erase any suspicion or trail that might lead back to Irina. He took my phone, his slender fingers wrapping around it softly. His eyebrows were furrowed, his expression becoming gravely serious, afterwards, he raised his head in silence. "It's an abandoned funeral home. And as it is,there's something really important that's been stored in there and that thing holds a very crucial stand in what I'm about t

    Irina leaned over the edge, watching as Camille plunged four feet down to her death. Her lips moved, saying some inaudible words before turning her heels, possibly wanting to really confirm if Camille had truly died from the fall. Taking advantage of the few minutes, i stepped out of the shadows, holding on to the umbrella as i walked briskly towards Camille's now limped body. The rain poured down heavily at this time, deafening all sounds. And yet, i could still hear Camille's loud, painful groans as she struggled helplessly to live. Blood pooled around her, her hands digging into the concrete. Soft whimpers escaped her lips, but it was agonizing melody to listen to. Her limbs were broken and turned in gruelling awkward positions. She was in pain, although all she could do was sob quietly. I leaned over, holding up the umbrella, so she could see my face. Her eyes were unfocused, darting around before settling on me. "Y..... y.... you came." I nodded, examining the wide, gapi

    "I'm glad you made it on time." Marceline rushed up to me, placing a disposable umbrella in my hands. "Thanks." - I took the umbrella, my hands soaked from the drizzling rain. "What's the update?." Marceline raised her eyes, shaking her head repeatedly. " She just got here, so far........ there's been nothing. I think they're still sorting things out." I parted my lips slightly, raising my head to see the dark crest fallen skies. It looked dull and the slow yet persistent rain only intensified the feeling of impending gloom even more. "I think it's best if you stayed here at the exit........to help keep an eye out for any vehicle that might leave this premises." - I spoke in a breath. "So....... i don't get to accompany you in?." - She walked two steps closer to where i stood, her eyes shimmered, clearly due to excitement. "No." She backed away, a look of disappointment flashing through her childish features as she smiled sadly. "Okay, I'll be on the lookout and

    I took a few steps back, creating a reasonable distance between us. "I'm sorry..... but I'm unable to reciprocate your feelings." - I spoke coldly with my eyes lowered, not wanting to see how hurt he was. Because he was definitely going to get wounded by them......by my cruel, cold-hearted words that were now, unfortunately the only truth that could exist between us. "Why........?". He rasped. I stood out of his arm's reach, counting down the seconds. His voice quivered and i could feel him inching closer and closer. With every step he took, i found it harder and harder to breathe. Clenching my fists tightly, i gasped, this wasn't what i had expected when i walked into this room. Neither was it when i walked into this home......... Love was never part of the plan. "Richard!!." - I raised my hand resolutely, stopping him dead in his tracks. "What was the first agreement we made before all this?" I raised my head, straightening my posture sternly. " Our marriage.......... was

    I sat at the back of the car, holding on to Dean, unsure of what to do - or even, how to go about this whole sudden turn of events. "Mom, is Dad going to be back soon?. He has been gone for long now." - Dean raised his head, his blonde curls falling down his petite face. He had his backpack resting on his lap and seemed engrossed with his lego toys.I smiled gently, stroking his head while nodding mine. How was i supposed to tell the kid that his father was possibly engaged in a physical brawl with someone else at the moment?.It didn't sound like an appropriate answer to give to a nine year old.I parted my lips, trying to seize the moment to reassure the kid when i heard the door on the driver side open before slamming shut.I raised my head, my eyes lingering on the dashboard. Richard raised his, our eyes locking for a moment before he averted his gaze. I frowned, but kept my peace.The rest of the drive home was done in silence, asides Dean who was constantly toying with his puzz
