LOGINAuthor's Pov:
She snapped out of her reverie as a knock echoed at the bathroom door.“I gave you an hour, doll,” Lewis’s voice called out in a sing-song tone. “Are you trying to test me again?”
Her heart dropped.
She clutched the edge of the sink to steady hersel
Lewis Pov:I leaned back in the chair while going through the file lazily, how can I go through this shit when my mind keeps on drifting back to her.'Kathleen'Just her.Because wherever she is... that is my home. And I miss my home.I was supposed to go home to her today, but my stupid father had to prolong the stay for another deal.I don't fucking care if he wants to stay here for a deal and whore around, but tomorrow either way I am gonna leave and she'd remember exactly who she belonged to.And my women she endures it. She cries. She sh
Aiden's Pov:I didn't sleep a damn wink. The clock mocked me with every tick, its rhythm syncing with the burn in my skull. I rarely smoked, but tonight? Tonight, I needed something to stop me from tearing the walls apart. The scent of nicotine curled around me like the bloodstains that hadn't left my mind not since I took her away from that college.Kathleen.Running like prey while those bastards chased her down like she was nothing but a warning message to my brother.I saw red the moment I caught the glint of fear in her eyes. Thank god I was there to meet my uncle. Pure chance. Or fate. Who cares.I snapped the cigarette in half and crushed it under my sho
Author's POV:The silence in the hall was louder than any scream.Kathleen sat motionless, knees drawn together, her palms sweaty in her lap as Aiden sat across the sofa through. Outside garden lights flickered continuously making her even more anxious. His knuckles were still bloodstained, gripping the arm rest with eerie calm. His phone went off, but neither of them moved.He hadn't said a word on what's going on in his mind.She wanted to ask. Her mouth parted once, twice—but nothing came. Her throat felt like it was lined with sandpaper. All she could see was the memory of him in the library hallway, painted in red, snapping necks like it meant nothing.
Double Update🥳Kathleen's Pov:His men rounded up the injured, dragging them away like garbage. It should have made me feel safer that he’d protected me.It didn’t.At first it did but seeing him killing those men without any remorse proved he's nothing less better than Lewis.Aiden extended that same hand which has blood in them."Come, little dove," he said softly. "Let’s get you out of here before more rats show up."When he saw me not moving, "Amore," he said, voice low, almost tender. His eyes scanned my face, while caressing m
Kathleen's Pov:Aiden stood slowly, rolling his shoulders."Stay here, amore," he said with a dark smile."Time to clean some parasites."I barely registered his words, another man lunged at him making my eyes widened. He ducked without even looking and drove a knee into the man's stomach, then a brutal elbow to the spine. Bones cracked like dry twigs. The man dropped with a strangled yelp.He moved like a predator unleashed swift, brutal and lethal. His fist shattered the man's jaw with just one blow making my jaw hit the floor.Another bone snapped under the brutal arc of his boot.
Kathleen’s POV:The world outside looked normal.Sunlight cut sharp lines across the courtyard as students hurried past, laughter and conversation floating in the air like a lie.I clutched my books tightly, walking through the entrance gates of the college, feeling every step like I was walking into a noose.Breathe.Pretend.Pretend everything is normal.Pretend nothing happened last night.Pretend Lewis’s threats weren’t still slithering inside my ears.
