تسجيل الدخول“I once went to Canada to perform in a play for Mr. and Mrs. Witson’s wedding. Maybe Canada isn’t such a bad choice.” Pandora muttered, recalling the events of that day. Back when she had been the lead in a production directed by Mr. Lee. The role was meant to depict a complicated life story, but Pandora had serious doubts about the narrative structure. She saw so much love radiating from the newlyweds. With their abundant lives and mutually supportive attitudes, it seemed almost impossible t
“We need to talk.” Ignoring Pandora’s request, the man voiced something Pandora had already exhausted all possibilities of considering. Kingston’s attitude had made everything crystal clear; she no longer needed any explanatory words or anything of that nature. “I want to go back to the dorm. If you really object to taking me there, I can go home on my own.”“But we need to talk for a moment, Pandora.”“No. You only need to discuss this with her. I’m an exception for you.” Pandora steeled herself, glaring at Kingston with hatred, anger, and a fiery gaze. “Whatever. Do whatever you want! I can go home on my own.” She was already reaching for the car door, consistently ignoring Kingston and his wishes.“Fine. I’ll drive you.”Though the ride to the dorm was eventually overshadowed by a heavy silence, Pandora remained fixed on the view outside the window. The dorm building loomed tall. Soon… so Pandora prepared to get out. She slammed Kingston’s car door hard
Pandora didn’t know how to express her bitter reaction. She bowed her head deeply, clasping her fingers together with intense anxiety. It felt like being struck by a massive explosion when the woman firmly asserted the truth. And Kingston didn’t utter a single word to reassure Pandora—or at the very least, he would have denied it. He remained silent, so much so that Pandora almost laughed at herself—why was she trying to deny it, when her eyes had once directly caught the red marks on Kingston’s body back in the forest? Wouldn’t the presence of a child complete Kingston’s past love? They would go through a series of romantic moments reminiscent of their past story. Overflowing with warmth and longing. That’s why, up to this very moment, Kingston hadn’t said anything to reaffirm the statement that had left Pandora’s thoughts adrift. She felt trapped atop a lighthouse, gazing at a ship sailing in the distance, but the ship never made its way toward her. It felt futile; there
Pandora swallowed hard, unsure whether Kingston really had to stand there staring at her like that. She was certain Anna had taken care of every single detail. She’d applied a soft, sweet shade of makeup to her natural features, perfect for pairing with the slip dress. The sleeveless dress featured thin straps and delicate detailing at the bust, accentuating Pandora’s curves. Exactly the look for a dinner date with a man who was no less charming.She noticed how his hair, slicked back, added a mature air to Kingston’s face. Dressed in a suit and a white shirt with the top two buttons deliberately left open, it emphasized just how Kingston was the quintessential hot guy with his towering physique.The man remained silent, watching. Silent amidst the half-remaining awareness that could barely be controlled.“King.”Pandora immediately made her final decision. A light touch on his arm made Kingston blink and give her a faint smile. Then that hand moved steadily, landing
“Come to think of it, I’m curious about what you two did while you were at the beach....” Pandora couldn’t even count how many times she’d had to process Anna’s remarks regarding Kingston’s crazy antics in front of the class. She’d been trying not to get drawn into Anna’s relentless curiosity. Simply explaining it with words wouldn’t be enough to make the girl understand that she and Kingston hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary. There was only one instance when Kingston lost control. That was it. “If you two do that often…,” Anna continued. She paused for a moment, then rested both elbows on the campus cafeteria table. “Before you get married, Mr. Nolan has to use protection. For God’s sake, I hate what’s going on in my head!” Anna tapped each temple with her palm. She spoke too carelessly, thankfully her voice was very soft. “I hate what’s in your head too. Even if he doesn’t use protection, I still wouldn’t get pregnant. Besides, King Kong promised he wouldn’t
Slowly, Pandora opened her eyes as something almost imperceptible brushed against her face. She blinked and found Kingston staring intently at her, letting the feathers of his wings continue to flutter around her nose and forehead.“It’s seven o’clock, Pussy cat. Wake up....”The man whispered so softly, as if he’d already made up his mind—perhaps he could already guess what Pandora’s next reaction would be.“Seven o’clock?”“Yeah....”With that, Pandora could feel the bed creak as Kingston shifted slightly backward, no longer pinning her body with his legs bent, pressing down on the mattress. A movement that seriously dragged Pandora’s consciousness to the surface.“Seven o’clock....” She muttered softly. There was a pause before her eyes widened.“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier!”Pandora glared at Kingston. Studying how the man had neatly put on a light blue shirt and a black tie to complete the look.“I’ve been waking you up since the moment
“Has Aceli woken up yet?” Kingston asked.“Yes, sir.”“Is she looking for me?”“Yes. And Miss Pandora.”Aceli’s only misfortune was having an uncle who refused to give in. If only the little girl had come along, she might have been very happy doing anything—playing in the sand or something else. Now Pandora truly missed Aceli and her tiny lips that never stopped talking. They hadn’t seen each other since morning because of Kingston’s wishes.“What are you thinking?”Pandora’s body instinctively took a step back when Kingston deliberately covered her eyes with one hand. There was nothing wrong with it. Kingston had done it very carefully. But Pandora wasn’t fully prepared; she hadn’t even realized that Helios had left the beach with Grolius and Whitewill.“Why aren’t we going with them?”Pandora immediately followed Kingston’s lead. She asked as she set down the plastic bag containing seashells and sat face-to-face with the man in one of the huts with
Meredith's delicate fingers landed on Kingston's shoulder line. The girl looked up high to show how brave she was. Her gaze wandered and her hand began to creep up Kingston's arm. Every so often Meredith would bite her lower lip, then place Kingston's fingers on the lump of her breast. She hissed
"Wait, Panda. Where are you going? I'm not done yet."Pandora's steps were halted by Anna's sudden restraint. Anna's eyes were filled with a big question mark. It was like she was holding something as well as curiosity. Was there anything else from yesterday that Anna had as information? Pand
"Where are you going, Pussy Cat?" Having just taken a step to avoid Kingston, the man's deep voice jolted Pandora's courage to simply sink into the room. She didn't feel at home in the red long dress and the judgmental gaze Kingston was giving her. She wanted to completely disappear from Kingston's
Fear. The pain, and the attempts to break free that Pandora made were clearly recorded in Kingston's vision. He had to cancel the long—promised dinner.Followed Pandora to find her in grave danger.Kingston didn't know why Pandora's situation made him so consumed with rage. It should be t
