I looked at Brixton, and a look of realization came to his face when our eyes met. The awkward atmosphere made me forget that I was crying, and we were in a public place.
“You guys are always having drama. You should just hook up and get together and maybe true love’s kiss would make all of that go away.”
I slapped Karl's arm and his daughter giggled at his father's whining.
"Brixton and I have no drama whatsoever, Karl. Besides, we're friends, and there is nothing going on between the two of us."
Me and Brixton nodded as our gazes met for a moment.
"Besides, Perry has been telling me about that true love's kiss thing multiple times. If th
I froze as I looked at the black shadow that was only an inch away from me. It didn't have any facial features, but I could feel and smell the hot sulfuric breath when it spoke."You betrayed me, my love, as if I couldn't see you."I froze in fear as the shadow's hands held both my arms in a tight grip. I felt like it was snowing as the temperature in the room dropped suddenly."If you were going to be a whore for another man, you should have told me, my love. I would have spoiled you like a queen and raped you like the whore you are."My whole body shook with fear, and my trembling continued as I tried to focus on calming myself. The shadow's arm rubbed my left had as his other arm held my right hand
I tried my best to apply my makeup and cover up the dark bags under my eyes. I wasn't able to sleep properly last night because of everything that happened. "Perry, I look like I'm a single mother to twenty kids. My hair won't cooperate, and I feel like my eyebags are still growing like a plant." "That is over exaggerating things, Shyne. You look like you haven't slept a wink for a week, but you don't look like a single mother at all. Just a mother that probably has three kids and a busy husband that has no time for her." I threw the pillow beside me to Perry as she dodged it and disappeared from my room. My life would be a little easier without her, but it would also be empty if she wasn't with me. "Shyne! There's a box here that was delivered this morning, and it says that it's for you!" Perry screamed from outside, and I went to check out the package. The brown box was only about a foot wide and half a foot in length. However, the way Perry
Angela approached Amy and the two had a stare down. Unfortunately, Amy was a lot shorter than Angela, so she just rolled her eyes in annoyance at her defeat. "Wow, Angela, I never expected the infamous rebel to be back in the city. I thought your daddy had you thrown into a boarding school on a remote island or something." Amy's sarcasm was thick, but I saw how Angela just smirked and walked towards me. "Hey, Shyne, I didn't know you were back. I guess we both chose the perfect time to come home." Angela ignored the annoyed Amy, and proceeded to hug my little sister. "Izzy! I can't believe that you've grown so much! I thought
I woke up with a splitting headache and I decided to stay in bed until the pain subsided. My eyes scanned my entire room, and I saw that it now looked like someone was living in it because of the little mess. The last time I was here, it was spotless and felt so empty. I looked at the scar on my wrist and remembered the night me and Izzy went to the ridge. The car accident that happened gave me the small cut as a scar. I regretted the incident that nearly ruined our lives. Flashback… "Shyne." I heard the eerie sound as if the person speaking was beside my ear. I tried to cover my ears to stop myself from hearing the creepy voice, but the sound began to go inside my head.
It was the day of my party, and everyone in the clan was invited. My mother and father bought me an island when I was born, and this was the first time that I was allowed to be on the island.I was sitting at the balcony of my own private villa, and it was at the highest part of the island. The window overlooked the entire island, and I saw the smaller villas where some of the main family members were staying."Hey, sis, what's with the long face? This is your big day, and everyone is excited for you to be officially introduced as the heir."I didn't look at Izzy who was getting ready behind me. The breeze was amazing, and the smell of fresh air made me close my eyes."Sis, you can't ignore me and pretend that I'm just the sound of the wind. You need to focus. Remember that our mother said everything should be perfect today. You can't zone out on me like that, you know. Mom is going to kill the both of us if something bad happens, and she will groun
“You are a disgrace to this family! A slut like you should never even be allowed to live! What in hell were you thinking while that boy thrusts inside you over and over again, huh?! Did you just enjoy it and forget about your future?!” My mom slapped me hard on my right cheek while I sat on my bed. I didn’t cry, I didn’t make any noise as I held my cheek with glossy eyes. “How could I have raised a slut! This is…This is impossible. NO! I don’t have a whore for a daughter!” My mother went to my study table and threw everything to the floor. My laptop, my pens and paper, my photo. She held the edge of the table and breathed heavily. I wiped a stray tear that fell from my eye as I saw my mother go crazy.
“Ouch! Hey, don’t be too rough, and be gentle!” I whined as Izzy pressed the ice on the back of my head. “I’ve angered mom in the past, but the worst she did was accidentally pulling two of my teeth when she slapped me hard on the mouth for talking back at her. I would have never guessed mom would slap you with a folder hard enough for you to fall on the bed and bang the back of your head on the floor. This bump feels like your head was intentionally hit on the floor.” I hissed at the pain and the cold that I felt from my head and the ice. “Shyne, I know that mom was infuriated with the contents of that folder, but I would have never believed you that she laid a finger on you if I’m not the one doing this. What happened with you and mom inside the room?”
“Shyne! What are you doing there?!” Earl pulled me out of the fountain as my face got closer to the water. It was a good thing that only the tip of my hair was wet.“Rose! Help me with Shyne!” I saw Rose, Earl’s sister who wore a blush pink dress the same as Izzy, came rushing over.“Shyne?” Rose said as she held me.“Rose, make sure Shyne is alright. I’ll call Alister or Izzy.” I pulled Earl’s hand before he could leave, and the two of them looked at me.“No. Don’t call them. Please. I’m just so distracted by the fountain that I thought I saw something in the water. I didn’t realize I was getting too close. No need to worry.”Rose and Earl looked like they didn’t believe me, so the entire night, Rose and Izzy were with me. Rose told Izzy, and later on, I told her about Alister a
