DAPHNE

=======

I felt lightheaded, unable to think of breathe. Everything felt so wrong and strange.

Rico's voice.

One I'd missed so much, one which granted me comfort, one which I thought I'd lost was now here, talking to me through the phone.

No.

It can't be.

I placed the phone on my ears once more, praying that what I heard was fake or probably just a fragment of my stupid imagination. My breath grew shallow, my chest lifting and falling in erratic movements. “ Who's this?” I managed, sweat

  • The Devil's Allure    83. I'll Make You Remember Me

    ALEXANDER 2 Weeks Later...The doctors continued with their treatment, mother and Jerald stayed in the hospital to take care of Caspian.It was clear, there was nothing they could do to save him but I couldn't help but hope as for Daphne, my men had found her location a week ago but I'd been hesitant to meet her, but as I glanced at the image of her smiling with another man I couldn't help the venom that bled into my veins." Where are you going?" Mother asked, as I walked to the door.I tucked my phone into my pocket. " I'll be back, I have some business to attend to." I didn't wait for her reply as I stepped out my nostrils flared as I tried to calm my nerves.I pulled my car door open and slammed it shut, revving the engine to life and speeding to the restaurant. My knuckles turning white, my jaw tightened as I drove.I knew I was wrong.I knew I shouldn't have spoken to her that way.But she wasn't meant to physically exist with another man. Not whilst I still breathed.I arrived

  • The Devil's Allure    82. Pain: A Very Familiar Feeling.

    ALEXANDER I paced around the hallway as I dialed Daphne's line for the last time and just like the last 30 calls it went to voicemail. " Of for fucks sake Daphne, please pick up the phone!" I groaned as I dialed the number once more but when I heard that robotic voice, I smashed the phone against the ground, running my fingers through my hair as I let out a deep breath." This is all your fault," Mother acknowledged, worry written all over her face. " I told you she was still shaken from the shock, I told you to be careful with her but you didn't listen, instead you let your anger take control and you ruined everything!"" What do you want me to do mum?! What the fuck do you want me to do? I've done everything I could to keep us all safe but now, look at us! My brother is in the fucking ER, Eliot is dead, I don't know, I don't know what the fuck to do anymore!" I hated this feeling, the feeling of weakness, the memories it brought of a past I didn't want to remember.***—12, Years

  • The Devil's Allure    81. Be A Good Girl

    DAPHNE His eyes hardened when he saw me, like he was angry at me and I couldn't blame him. I deserved it. " I-i-i'm Sorry," I stuttered, my hands shook, fear running through my veins.He reached me in two steps. " I told you not to go out didn't I? I fucking warned you!!!!" He spat and I gulped, tears running down my face." I know, I know. I didn't mean for this to happen..."" But it did!" The words slammed into my chest, weakening me. " Now Caspian is in the ER and Eliot..." His voice broke, his lips tilting as more tears rolled down his face.What had happened to Eliot?It couldn't be...It shouldn't be..." Eliot is dead." My world shattered to pieces. My blood froze mid-flow. " What do you mean dead?" My words were a stutter, as I tried to calm myself, convincing myself that it wasn't true. It shouldn't be true." When we found out that Arrow's men were attacking the park, I and Eliot set out to get you guys but Arrow's men got to us, chasing us down. We crashed into a buildin

  • The Devil's Allure    80. I Saw Tears In His Eyes

    DAPHNE Cold.It felt so cold.My eyes screwed shut as I braced for the impact but no bullet came, what I felt was this crushing weight of someone's body— it was then I realised that Caspian had been shot.He took the bullet for me...He—No.I opened my eyes, curling my arms around his frame as my legs gave way, my body and his crumbling to the ground, my hold didn't falter as I tapped on his cheek, his face pale— almost white, as he gripped his chest." You're okay, you're okay...Don't, Don't close your eyes." I cried as I braced his palm. An attempt to stop the bleeding but to wasn't working...why wasn't working??He coughed, a smile on his pale lips as his life slipped from his grasp and there was nothing I could do. " I'm fine, just a minimal injury..."" Minimal?" I was appalled. " You got shot!! You're bleeding!"" I'm fine, we need to get out of here now," " We need to get you to a hospital!" Footsteps echoed behind us, immediately, he rose to his feet, staggering slightly as

  • The Devil's Allure    79. He Pulled The Trigger

    CASPIAN Daphne suggested we go to a amusement park. At first I didn't understand why, I still don't but hey. Maybe she's always wanted to come here. There are guards littered around the park although Daphne couldn't see them I could, they were just a few inches away from us. Watching our every move. " Now are you going to tell me what happened?" Daphne spoke, making me peel my eyes away from the guards. " Hmm?" She scoffed. " I know something wrong happened to you, Alex noticed it too but was proud to ask." " You promised we weren't going to talk about him..." I said and she waved her hands in surrender. " Okay, Okay, fine, my lips are sealed." She gestures by zipping her lips. " No more Alex," I smiled, as we walked to one of the snack shops, I ordered some corn dogs for her and a popcorn for me. " So...Come on, tell me what happened," she pushed as we settled on a bench nearby. " You know a problem shared is half solved, I may be able to help." " I

  • The Devil's Allure    78. Just A Fling

    CASPIAN She said those words and walked away, her shoulders brushing against mine softly but I could see it, from the corner of her eyes, a tear— barely there— but I could see it clearly. As she tried to walk through the gates I circled her wrist, tugging her towards me. Her amber eyes met mine and just like aways, it stole my breath. She tried to release her grasp but my hold only tightened. " Is this how you want to end things? You want to end it this way? Look me in the fucking eye and tell me that you want me to leave and I swear I will walk away and I'll never contact you again." She remained silent, but she was struggling to free herself anymore, her eyes planted to the ground. I tilted her chin, making her meet my gaze. " Say it Kira!" It wasn't an order, it was a plead, a desperate plead for her to let me stay. " Don't make me do this..." " You can't even say it Kira! You can't even say those words!" I cried but she snapped her wrist away from me. Mee

    ALEXANDER ༒I'd seen people get hurt all the time.Blood? Wounds? A daily occurrence in the clan. But today was different. Very fucking different.I'd never been so angry to see someone hurt…except for the day that that bastard tried to hurt mother and when Caspian took a bullet for me to protect
