I knew I wasn’t seeing things. I wasn’t imagining it either.

This was Baldwin.

When I was in Centerville, I worked multiple jobs, mainly because I wanted to assist my father and because I was saving up for medical school. I juggled part-time jobs and high school until I finally graduated. After that, I started working part-time at his café. He also owned an abandoned bookstore attached to it, a place filled with books on weird stuff, magic, vampires, zodiacs, and werewolves, he was a weird guy

    There was no hug.“No, we didn’t hug…he just happened to be there when I came by the lake,” I said quickly, already knowing where this was going. I had to explain myself to Sebastian. I had to make him understand.“Arghhhh!!!” Sebastian ran his hand through his hair. “He always happens to be wherever you are…isn’t that strange?” he asked, his voice rising. “Do you not find that strange? All of a sudden…”He was about to gulp down another portion of wine, but I stepped forward immediately.“Okayy…that’s enough,” I said, grabbing the bottle from him.He didn’t resist.“I did come by the lake…yes,” he said, nodding slowly. “I was a little late because I was occupied for a while…”I stared at the bottle in my hand for a second, then let out a heavy breath.“Oh, fuck it…” I muttered, lifting it to my lips.I took a sip—no, more than a sipand wiped my mouth with the back of my hand before looking up at him.“You got occupied?” I repeated. “You promised to be there before the music starts…”

    Sebastian had promised Maltilda earlier that he was going to “protect” me. Did he forget about his promise? Or did he forget that he asked that I stayed by his side all night… but instead, I was here walking around with Rex. He was leading the way to the feast table while I walked by his side.“So…why were you waiting for Sebastian earlier?” Rex asked, glancing at me as we waited for our meal to be dished out by the table staff.“I don’t see how that’s your business,” I replied, looking away as I fixed my gaze on the crowd.“It was just a question…geez,” he said with a small scoff. “You are being too feisty. Still upset he disappointed you?”“You are being annoying…stop!” I frowned at him, and he raised his hands in defeat.“I’m going to let you speak to me in any manner tonight,” Rex said, grabbing his plate. “It feels as though I’m still under your charm…”I sighed, grabbed my plate, and started walking ahead of him. He caught up with me almost immediately and continued walking be

    When the words left Rex’s mouth, it felt like I was hearing things. I blinked twice, pressing my fingers against my sweaty palms.“Can I hug you?” he repeated, and the look in his eyes…I know I shouldn’t be looking at him like that. Sebastian had warned me. He was probably doing this because of the bet. I shouldn’t be swayed by his actions, but it was difficult. There was this unusual connection I felt when he was around. I didn’t know if I loved it or hated it, but I knew there was a connection. I was sure of it. I just wasn’t sure what type of connection it was.“You suddenly forgot how to speak?” he asked with a smile on his face, and I looked away.“Why? So you could brag to Sebastian that you hugged his girlfriend?” I said as I stepped back.“Lily…” he muttered, his voice low.“What? I know what this is about. I know it’s about the bet. And no, you cannot hug me,” I frowned.Now Rex had stepped back too. The distance between us was now a little wider than earlier.“I wasn’t goin

    Sebastian knew to go to the lake when he heard the music coming from the garden. He was just coming from his mom’s quarters. Even though she looked fine, he knew his mother was only trying to make sure she showed up for today’s banquet.They had a little conversation, and when he heard the music start, he kissed her goodbye and left her.But he didn’t get to the lake.He saw Lustre.Lustre was wearing a butter-yellow linen dress, her hair styled perfectly in a bun. She looked beautiful, even Sebastian couldn’t deny it.They stared at each other as they stood opposite one another.Sebastian turned to walk away, but Lustre was fast enough. She moved quickly and held his hand.“Sebastian… please, let us talk,” she pleaded.“I have to go to Lily,” he replied.Lustre nodded. The way he said Lily’s name made her chest tighten, but she held it in. She wasn’t in any position to get mad at Sebastian because of his relationship with Lily.“You can go to her, but please… can you give me a few mi

    Rex must have really messed with my head for me to be thinking about him more often and to be honest?I hated myself for even thinking about Rex when Sebastian was right in front of me. It didn’t make sense. It actually annoyed me. “Hey…” Sebastian called out , pulling me back from my thought. “Can I hold your hand?” I looked at him for a second, he would hate that his brother was the one in my mind right now , I smiled before nodding. “Yeah…” He didn’t hesitate. His fingers slipped into mine , my small palms disappearing into his. . Maltilda was standing by the door, watching us, she cleared her throat and we both turned . . “Take care of her, she is your responsibility tonight , keep an eye on her and protect her …” she said to Sebastian. “ You are sounding like i’m a child …” I chuckled . “ I have been to those kind of banquets…Trust me , you need to be so careful, Sebastian…promise me ?”.. “I will,” Sebastian replied immediately. “I promise.” We stepped out

    Maltilda’s room smelled like old fabric and something faintly floral,. Dresses were everywhere , on the bed, on the chair, even hanging halfway out of wardrobe, We were searching for an outfit I could wear to the Banquet. .I sat cross-legged on the bed, watching her dig through another pile, my fingers absentmindedly tracing the lace of a sleeve beside me.My mind wasn’t even here., It was still stuck on what she said earlier..“What if this bet is just a scheme to get closer to you?” I frowned slightly, staring at nothing in particular.There was no way, Absolutely no way.“Try this one,” Maltilda said, tossing a dress toward me without even looking.I caught it lazily, my brows pulling together as I finally looked down at it.It was beautiful, A beautiful floral dress, it had this lace around the hem of the dress , A perfect finishing touch ,The kind of dress that didn’t need to beg for attention because it already had it.Still…my mind refused to let go even with the distracting

    Just a few minutes in this house and I was already in trouble. I might even be butchered if the worst happened. “Why is she shaking like that? I did exactly what Amber asked me to!” I rushed toward the Luna, but Rex shoved me into a corner. “Don’t touch her!” he yelled. He turned and grabbed my

    Maltilda walked out of the room and into the garden, where Amber was attending to her flowers. The morning sun hit the petals softly as Amber bent over them, humming faintly to herself. Maltilda walked past her without stopping.Amber chuckled behind her.“Trouble in paradise?”Maltilda paused and

    LILYWas he joking? Be his girlfriend? Me?“Excuse you?” I stuttered, and he just shrugged again.“You have to be my girlfriend,” he repeated, and I burst out laughing when I saw he had a straight face. I cleared my throat and stared back at him.“You’re not joking?” I asked, and he shook his head.
