"How does it feel to get treated like that?" He asked, pacing the room with deliberate and malevolent steps. A sinister glare as he looked at me, and no emotion was traced in his tone.

"What are you talking about?" I gripped the sheets.

"Well, I was sent to be here for you, but then I changed my mind. You were treating me like a little pussy out there, so I thought... how about I show you what I can do?" He said.

"You—were—paid to be here." I was struggling to breathe. Not again, please!

"Exactly. I was paid to help you carry out your stupid little mission, and not to be treated like a peasant. You dirty whore!" he shouted at me.

"The medicine in your drink was not supposed to work so fast. I guess I overdosed." He shrugged, "But then, you helped me out by drowning yourself."

I opened my mouth to shout. "Uh-Uh, don't even waste the little energy that you have left on you. Nobody would hear you. Nobody will come here. Everybody is busy partying out there. Isn't that just

    ~27~ChiaraGunshots! Gunshots everywhere!I sat abruptly. My eyes opened wide as I took in my surroundings, groaning with my throbbing head. I was in an unrecognizable room. My breaths faltered and my heart was racing as footsteps approached what I’d collected in a short time… was a washroom.I heedlessly reached for the flower vase on the night stand and held it ready. The moment the person came out… I flung the vase. Just in time for him to move back an inch. The vase smashed against the wall instead and scattered down. Thunders roared outside and the rain poured harder.“Whoa! Sweetie, calm down.” Carmelo said, raising both of his hands up. My eyes narrowed at him, “Why the fuck am I here with you?” I asked, reaching for something else inside the nightstand. He eyed the gun in my hand before meeting up with my gaze. “Yeah, we don’t have to go down that road. Just listen to me first.” He said.I groaned, feeling a shooting pain that had me shut my eyes. I shook my head and aimed at

    ~26~Chiara I looked at the text on my screen. I've been doing this since this morning. Carmelo had sent me a good morning text, it was now evening, and I haven’t replied yet. I just couldn’t. I sighed and placed the phone down. Thunders shook my heart and the lightning blinded my vision from now and then as the driver was taking me back home from work. I was already in a foul mood and now this rainstorm made it even gloomier. I was getting married in fucking two weeks.“The rain is too heavy, madam. I suggest we take a different route.” He said. I shut my eyes and leaned my head on the headrest. “Do whatever you can, just get me home.” I replied, yawning.This weather called for a long and relaxing nap. If only I was on my bed, under a warm hug of my duvet. I pulled the suit coat further up to my chest, getting relief from the shivers.A loud bang made me jump on my seat, followed by another one, and another one, and then a piercing screech of our car. The gunshots went on despite

    ~25~CHIARA Lake Como trip was fucked up, but not as fucked as it came to an end. I was returning home with a new victory to boast about. Relieved with a newfound friendship that we had formed between me and Carmelo. At least my time away from my gallery was worth it. The gates slid to the side, and the driver drove us in.CC: Promise me you won't drink alone. I'll be in Milan for a while, so just tell me.Me: PromiseNo way in hell had I thought I'd be chatting in leisure with the man either. But here I was, grinning like a fool as I exchanged texts with him. Turned out he could be tolerable. I slapped a hand on my face hard, shocking the driver who dared not ask a question.I couldn't get carried away by these stupid feelings that were built in one day. How could I forget that I was using him without remorse? I shoved the phone back in the bag and sat straight as the car pulled over at the entrance.The moment I stepped down, a guard and a maid came over. Without a word, the maid t

  • Tangled by lies    I'm fucked up

    ~24~CHIARA The trip back wasn't as boring as we came."You went through all the hassle to write a whole damn love poem, only to end up losing. Must be hard on your ego," I teased. Turns out the other guy won because he came back to save me at the last minute during the competition on cruise. I'm honestly grateful for it."Excuse you. There were some ungrateful fish that I had to save from drowning." He shot back, his hands flexing as he turned the wheel. "Did you just call me a fish?" I huffed. "Did you hear me mention a name?" He clapped back."The fish says thank you, by the way." I blurted after a short silence. He paused and then turned to me. "Thank you for saving my life," I added. He looked taken aback before he nodded with a small smile and faced forward. “Thank you for helping my sister.” He murmured. I'd never thought a day would come for us to have a normal conversation, yet here we were. I just thanked the man whom I felt irritated to be around with for years. And it fe

    ~23~CHIARA “Are you kidding me?” He said, turning slightly to me, causing our cheeks to graze each other. I quickly faced forward, “Do I look like I’m the one laughing to you? And you said so yourself… I'm shameless.” His steps paused, “You need to walk, and I need to catch my breath. The shoe shop is just right over there.” He pointed. But it went in through one ear and out through the other.“You just want me to keep carrying you, right?” he nudged me. “I’m just tired of walking, okay? And you are the one who brought me here.” I finally said. “So it is my fault? How are you gonna pay me for this?” He asked. I knew he was going to hound me for this. “Take it as a charity. Do it for the love of God.” I said calmly. He threw his head back laughing and continued walking. While I bit my lower lip to stop myself from joining him. It was freaking natural and contagious.We stopped by the shop, and he bought me flip-flops. Of course, I complained about the damn choice but ended up wearin

  • Tangled by lies    Are you embarrassed, Chiara?

    ~22~CHIARA A heavy sigh left his mouth. I turned back to see his eyes pinched shut. Then they opened and caught up with mine. I blinked when they softened the next second. Tell me why that made him look so beautiful? So devastating.“You shocked me to death.” He let out another sigh. “It’s just my bodyguard. There is nothing toworry about.” He explained.I was stupefied and could feel my cheeks heating up. I pulled myself from him and started to walk without a knowledge of where I was going.Fucking bodyguard, he said! And here I was, losing my mind wondering who it was. I only walked a few steps before my shoe strap came out. “No fucking way!” I groaned deeply, clenching my hands. Why now, of all times? As if it wasn’t enough embarrassment for the day.“The way is over here, Chiara. Not there.” He yelled. His voice was laced with a hint of amusement. I took off the stupid shoes and dumped them in a bin at the side of the path, andthen turned back. I stormed past him and headed to
