LOGINCASPIANI rushed forward, clasping my palm around her lips. She responded with digging her teeth into my skin. I but down my groan not wanting to make a sound." Look I want you to calm down okay. I know this looks weird."" Calm down! A stranger is in my room at 11:29PM! How the fuck do you expect me to calm down?" Her voice came off muffled from beneath my palm. " If I let you go, promise me you won't scream."" I can't guarantee it."" Then I'm not letting you go."She sighed and rolled her eyes. " Fine, then." Slowly I released her lips and thankfully she didn't scream but tension lined her face." You have five seconds to explain why you're here." Her eyes squinted slightly. " And why you look like my abusive ex husband."" Wait! Are you his brother? Did he send you here to come get me back?" She gave a mirthless laugh. " If he thinks I'm going to go back to him then he must be joking! And as for you let him know that I'm getting married in five days and I don't want anything to
CASPIAN Due to the doctor's treatments, my days were extended just a bit. I stopped wearing my wig ages ago since I didn't need to hide it anymore. Mother and Jerald didn't leave my side, not even once.I kept telling them that I was fine that they didn't need to do this but they wouldn't listen, babying me like I wasn't going to die anyways.Alex barged in, bleeding terribly, I rose from my seat. " What happened? Did she do this?"" She doesn't remember me." He said and I could hear the hint of sadness in his voice. " What do you mean she doesn't remember you?" Mother asked and it was then the lines clicked in my head. Measuring my words as I spoke. " Her uncle must have done something."" Her uncle? What would he have against Alex."" He has always hated Alex since the very day he took Daphne, but I think the hatred stretched because you were stopping him from getting something and that thing is related to Daphne somehow." I replied, sitting up on the mattress." Her uncle is Ar
DAPHNEI shut my eyes, the sound of metal tearing through skin filled the air, followed by a low grunt, one I could barely hear. Slowly, my lids peeled opened and I saw my ex-husband standing in front of me, blood dripping from his arm.His sharp gaze was fixed on me. His lips curled in a smirk that felt so sinister it made my skin crawl. " This is how far I would go to get you back," he said and I swallowed down nothing, my heart in my throat. He turned to my date. " I'll pursue you so violently, till all you can see, think and breathe is me." With that he pushed past Peter— my date— and walked out.Air forced it's way through my closed lungs, my hands gripped a table for support. What was that?A threat?Why did it sound so hot? Too hot! Why was I moist between my thighs? Why was my dress suddenly too tight? I needed to breathe, I needed to leave.Peter reached me, tossing the gun aside. " Are you okay? Did he touch you?" I shook my head, some part of me wishing he actually touched
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
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
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
CASPIAN I'd just arrived home, from going to pick up the lady Alex asked me to get. The woman was silent throughout the drive and after what she'd been through, it was understandable. I could relate to it, much deeper than I should've. I helped her out of the car, she muttered a thank you as s
ALEXANDER Daphne had just got back home and I badly wanted to meet her but right now I had something to handle. My fingers braced the table, my eyes hardened as I scoped the entirety of the room, which was filled with the court members. I remained silent, they needed it, because people bro

DAPHNE Alex left with Caspian as they went to find out where Eleanor went. Ronwan had been missing since that day but Eleanor? She was right beneath our nose and yet still got away. I didn't let the thought linger as I stepped out of the car. I'd left the issue for Alex and Caspian to hand
