LOGINCirce's POV “Fucking Xurion.” I slumped into the bed, my body curled under the blanket simultaneously.The assigned room felt like a safe space where I could finally fan out the tears that had flooded my eyelids.Gently the tears started to flow. I mean, “How could he correct me and tell me that we were divorced?”After all we've passed through? Now he suddenly acts like he didn't beg for my attention or love from me in the past.After carrying golf sticks for me and staying up to clean me up after every pettê party with the girls. How could he pretend that he doesn't love me anymore? I know he still does. He didn't go through all that just… to suddenly hate me.Was I too gentle out there? Maybe if I had lodged my fist into that cheap bitch. Maybe… Just maybe, Xurion will know how serious I am.“You are pathetic, Circe.” I gnashed against the pillow till my gums ached. I pressed my face against the pillow like that.All the emotions I thought I had in check seem like they had book
Priela's POV The car glided to a halt in front of the company building after a long drive.I waited till the car hummed and quietened before getting down. Just after Xurion had gotten down and slammed the door close, father's men approached us.Leo, the lieutenant officer lead the other three men. They were all dressed in the usual black suits. His hand was firm on the wired phone on his right here like he was receiving or passing an Intel to someone.“Your father wants to meet you at once.” Leo’s bold voice said with no formality the moment they got close.Father was here?“Where is he?” I inquired, sounding calm and hiding the devastatement I felt. “ At his office,” his answer was short and calm until he added, “ Both you and the astronaut.” I was confused but I just nodded slowly and dismissively and they all left.My heart wasn't fully racing. But it gnawed at something fishy.I don't remember father talking about coming today since I was handed the company and he'd decided to
Circe's POV My legs froze in place and my whole body grew numb like I was spellbound to a spot.My lips shook and parted, “ Xurion.” I forced the name out of my throat, but the word flattened at the tip of my tongue and ended a whisper.My eyes warmed but the tears didn't form. They just didn't form.My chest hardened with enough ache that urged my throats to scream.“Can you see that, Circe?” Drayton's sweet voice lodged me out of my head and I turned to him smiling and taking in the beautiful wall arts that he pointed at.Something from the pit of my guts bubbled up to my throat and it tasted bitter. My smiles faded a little as the sourness hit my cheeks. Flipping my hands akimbo, I nudged my nostril to the air, fixing a brighter smile on my face as we took another elevator. The type of smile that could cringe a child… yeah. But the kind that also filmed thousands of the thoughts that had assembled in my mind.So truly he was chasing girls?Godforsaken Xurion, stole my fucking m
CirceThe car hummed softly beneath my back. My hands are folded on my chest and I'm staring outside through the window. My breath hummed gently in my chest.Drayton's voice interrupted the soft music that played in the car. “Is that a tear in your eyes again?” I heard him speak but I don't bother because I haven't been part of their discussion since we left home. “Circe?” He called, tapping me. The moment his finger touched I jumped out of my mind. I was taken aback. I stared back into his face in askance and confusion. His gaze didn't stay long enough as he returned them to the road.But I caught his brow crease before they left.Tears? Shit.I touched my face and wiped the liquid that I didn't even notice had rolled down my face.“Is she crying again?” Caspian hissed from the back seat. “ Circe… come on. Again?”“I wasn't crying,” I protested, my voice tired, even my eye balls wouldn't roll properly at Caspian.“ I saw the tears, I saw them fall.” Drayton pushed.“It just fel
PrielaI recognized the car. And I knew who occupied it. The instance forced my heart to race.The headlight cut through my vision. And it remained for a moment…too long. I pinched my eyes close and a small wince shot out.Xurion as well stopped moving and waited, standing close by. Too close for this situation.The car door purred open slowly. It's sound vibrating in my ribcage. Then slowly he climbed down. His shoes stamped quietly against the floor one after the other till he was fully out.He didn't stop. He didn't hesitate. He walked straight to me. I feel my throat move as I gulped. He…was smiling. My heart raced the more. It wasn't hard to think that he was going to let hell loose on me. But with that smile? I couldn’t help but frown.He threw his hands over me in a hug. Stealing me out of my head for a moment and knocking the fucking air out of my lungs.“ I take you are the famous astronaut, Xurion, am I right?” He asked, sounding suspicious. He unbuckles the hug and his gaz
Priela's POV“We have the event rechecked and properly prepared against tomorrow. The planner just sent me her side records.” I'm sat at the mirror where I carefully wiped my make-up with a damp wool. Sofia paced behind me, her face and attention completely buried in the MacBook as she shared the planning progress with me.My eyes followed her from the mirror. She wasn't static. “ Did you include the vases at the corridor?” I inquired.She stopped walking. Her fingers were moving over the screen. And then her voice thonged out, “ With the cameras? Yeah, I didn't forget them.”“Were they properly hidden? Because I don't want guests to know we are watching them.” I pressed.“Yes, of course. I supervised that myself.”“That's impressive.” “Is there anything else you want me to do for you?” Sofia asked, looking up at me.I thought for a while, “ Are you going already?” I asked, instead. “ Don't you think it's getting late to go back home?” “Yeah, except that I'm yet to pick Mr. Xurion'
