“Selene!” Ethan continued to yell.“Oh, goddess.” Without looking, I shut the door of my wardrobe after squeezing Xander into it and then I rushed to the door. “What?” I exclaimed as I ripped the door open.“Dad wants to know –“ Ethan paused mid-sentence and gave me a look filled with enough suspicion to have me trembling.My mind was still reeling from the emotions from earlier. I feared my lips were swollen and my skin was flushed enough to expose me.“Dad wants to know what?” I demanded when Ethan stayed silent for too long.No matter how natural I tried to act, there was no way he could not hear my heart trying to beat away from my chest. I hoped he would not comment on that but knowing Ethan, I knew my luck was slim. What he chose to comment on was much worse.“Why do you smell – like that?” He wrinkled his nose and I died a little inside.What the hell did I smell like? I wanted to sniff myself but caught myself right in time for his next words.“Do you have someone in there?” H

“Oh, Xander is here.” Bella gave me a dirty look. “Hi, Xander. It’s been a while.” She smiled at him. His response was a grunt. “Uh, Xander was just leaving.” I gave him a pointed look that he ignored at first but I continued to glare at him. “He came over to drop something off but he’s on his way out.” I glared harder. “Right, I was on my way out.” He side-eyed Bella who had a bemused look on her face. I could understand her expression. Xander was showing obvious displeasure at her appearance. “See you tomorrow then,” he said, and then - then he leaned into me. For an awful second, his face drew nearer to mine and my heart stopped and I thought he was about to kiss me. Thankfully, his lips only landed on my cheek and when he pulled back, he had a satisfied look on his face. Bella on the other hand, had her jaw on the ground. When the door closed behind him, Bella could start talking fast enough. “Tell me – tell me everything, right now!” Words spilled from her mouth and a

It was not enough that he put a hand on my thigh, he started to squeeze. Shocked, I raised my head and met eyes staring at me with as much shock as I felt. Regaining my senses, I pretended to have just noticed their presence. “Oops, it seems I have interrupted your meeting. I’ll be on my way then, sorry!” I apologized to the men and turned to place a kiss on Xander’s lips while my heart thumped. It was part of my seemingly grand plan, to kiss him in front of everyone while pretending to know nothing but things were not going my way. Rather than embarrassing him, I was turning out to be the one being embarrassed. The short kiss turned into something else as he placed a hand behind my head and pressed my face to his, deepening the kiss. It was nothing short of being eaten. There was no other way to describe it. He devoured my lips and I was too stunned to react. I just sat there – on his thighs in the presence of the other men – letting him devour my lips. When he pulled away, h

Disturbed as I was about the next step with Xander, it was no surprise I struggled with sleep. A week had passed but despite avoiding him, it was hard to get him off my mind and it was especially so that night. It was already three in the morning and I was left with my thoughts, heavy eyes that would not close, and an insane amount of thoughts that had no conclusions. When I heard a knock on my door, I figured it was my imagination. Who would come to knock at such an ungodly hour? When the knock came again, I forced my heavy body out of bed and went to get the door. “Who is it?” My tired mind was opening the door before I got a response and on the other side of the door stood the object of my sleepless night. “What are you doing here, Xander?” I asked, all the exhaustion I felt resonating in my tone. “Can I come in?” He was brushing past me before my groggy brain had time to process his request. “Wait –“ He was inside already so I just resigned myself to closing the door behin

“Are you asleep!?” A dumpy woman with beady eyes, no neck, and a mean glare yelled at me. “No, I’m not,” I answered in the most cheerful tone I could muster but her mean glare persisted. Despite how heavy and sluggish my body felt, life went on. I had to go to classes and the clinic. Classes were starting to pick up and I was feeling more and more left behind so there was no option to slack off even a bit. The woman in front of me was one of many people today destined to make my life a little harder. As if I was not tired enough, I had to deal with a woman with such an ugly personality. “Did you not hear me when I said I am unsatisfied with the service provided here? Why were you quiet then?” The woman screamed at me. “I am sorry you feel that way, ma’am,” I answered in a tone as sincere as possible. “We are particular about providing the best care for our patients so…” “Best care!?” She yelled. “Did I hear you say the best care? Luke has been in pain for so long! He is su

XANDER’S POV‘I pretended to still be into you because I wanted you to leave me alone.’A week later, those words haunted me even in my dreams. I had engaged in a fair share of stupid things but I never thought I was someone stupid enough to fall for false seduction. I never expected to be involved in false seduction, simple. Yet, now that I thought things through, the signs had been obvious. She insisted she was done with me but out of nowhere, she was all over me again. Was I simply too ecstatic to doubt her or was it pride? I never wanted to believe she would toss me aside so when she rushed back into my arms, I thought she first pretended to have lost interest. My pride did not allow me to imagine she was faking her new interest. “Is this what heartbreak feels like?” I muttered to myself, absentmindedly flipping through my handout. “Hey, man, are you good?” I raised my head from my handout to see concerned gazes aimed at me. “Huh?” I was so out of it, I did not know how

“My Princess.” My father squeezed me to himself with all his might. “Ah, you’re suffocating me, Dad!” I screamed with a red face and the last breath I had in me. He continued to squeeze me for an extra one or two seconds before he let me go, holding me at arm’s length with tears in his eyes. “Selly, why have you been ignoring me?” He asked, still holding me at arm’s length. “I have called, texted, and even sent mails but you never once replied to me!” “Dad, I’m busy, okay.” I tried shrugging off his hands on my shoulders so I could avoid his gaze from the guilt eating at me but he didn’t let me. His grip was strong and his eyes were staring deep into my soul trying to intensify my guilt. “Seb, you’re attracting a crowd,” my mother, the only reasonable person in my family, said. The others at the restaurant’s parking lot were looking at us and Ethan was standing a good distance away, pretending not to know us. “Let’s go inside. We can have this conversation inside.” My mother’s w

I paused mid-way through opening my door and just – I just stared at them. He had his hand around her waist and he leaned down to whisper something into her ear. She giggled some more. It was the most annoying sound I ever heard in my life. “Oh, hi, Selene,” Xander greeted when he raised his head. My eyes moved from the girl in his arms to him. His face was bright as if he had just discovered the most precious thing in the world. His eyes were alive, those eyes that I had thought often of were alive because of the girl in his arms. It was just the other day that he said he liked me so who was this new girl? Had his words been lies? Or was it so fast for people to move on? Why did it feel like the centre of my world had been titled and I was now on the verge of falling through time and space? Why did my eyes sting and why was my throat so dry? “Who is she?” The girl in his arms asked when he greeted me and I didn’t respond. Her tone was filled with possessiveness and even tho
