Ken opened the door s soon as I’d knocked on it, her hands filled with greasy junk food and chilled bottles of beer.
She sighed in relief as soon as she saw me and handed me one of the two trays she was holding, as soon as I’d shut and locked the door behind me. “Thank God you’re here! I’d ordered too much food and I was worried me and Ty would be bouncing around the house tomorrow if we were to eat this by ourselves.”
“How is she?” I asked her as I placed my purse and the tray on the coffee table and took off the jacket I’d worn over the flowy orange dress I’d worn to the club today. I picked the tray back up and walked to Ken bedroom where Ty was.
“She’s taking a shower.” Ken pointed towards her bathroom door where I could hear a shower running. “She’s been crying all this time, but I think it’s good for her to let it all out. Who&rsquo

The Intrigued Trilogy Chapter 16
GraceIt was two thirty five in the afternoon when I got off the cab I’d hired to get back to my apartment. I’d not only stayed the night at Ken’s place, but we’d even slept in and had a huge brunch with Ty ordering for a home delivery. At the rate we’ve been having junk food since last night, I’m pretty sure I’ve gained at least five pounds.I paid the cabbie and made my way up my apartment. As I climbed up the stairs, I could hear two very familiar male voices coming from my floor. I hurried upstairs, careful not to trip on the stairs with my high heels on and my suspicions were confirmed when I saw Daniel in a white shirt that defines his muscles, paired with navy blue pants, leaning against my door, talking to a brunette haired, emerald eyed man standing opposite to him wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans.“Tory?!” I screamed before jumping into his arms.Tory was like a ma
The Intrigued Trilogy Chapter 17
Epilogue Grace Thursday morning, I welcomed my parents at the airport, extremely glad that I didn’t see a third figure with them. My mom had medium length blonde hair and eyes a darker shade of blue with a slender built. My father was the one with the brunette hair and green eyes that Tory and I had inherited. He stood over 6feet 4 and was almost as tall as Daniel. I felt myself shiver as I thought about what I was about to do. For now, I had my left hand tucked away safely so that neither of my parents gets to see the huge diamond on my ring finger. “Grace!” My father smiled as he pulled me into a bear hug. “I knew you’d be busy this year so we came over instead. I hope we didn’t trouble you too much.” “Absolutely not dad, you’re always welcome here.” I told him as I went over to hug mom. “Come on then, let’s head home.” “Honey, home is back in Clovefield, not Los Angeles.” My mother reminded
The Intrigued Trilogy Chapter 18
Enigma Synopsis: Enigma; a person or thing that is mysterious and difficult to understand. A mystery; a paradox; a puzzle. Event Planner and boss of her own little company, Kendra Millar is all that and more. She lives life on her own terms, does what she wants, how she wants and when she wants. She’s like the wild winds of a stormy night that you can see but can’t touch. But no one really knows who the real Kendra Millar is, not even her closest friends. Only one man had come dangerously close to knowing her and she’s pushed him away with all her might. Victor Summers might be the baby of the family, but he’s seen what even his sister had failed to notice. From the instant he’d laid eyes on Kendra Crazy Millar, he’d known she was the one. But not only has she broken his fragile young heart, she’d made sure to trample on his hope of ever having a future with her. But now, after two years of running from the inevitable

Chapter 19: Once BurnedKendra's P.O.V:I knew this was inevitable, that there was no way I could escape this, but it was still a punch to the gut seeing him standing right in front of me and yet, so far away.Victor, Tory Summers.My best friend Grace’s younger brother, the baby of their family. But that baby had grown up a long time ago, had more intuition than most people I’ve met, age no bar. And it was also why I’d made sure he would never come close to me, ever again.He’s changed over the last two years. His hair was darker, the golden streaks in them more prominent, just like his older sister’s; his jaw squarish with defined cheekbones and broad shoulders. As a matter of fact, he look exactly like Grace now; same hair, same eyes, except for the fact that he towered over us with his six feet two height, but still ended up being shoulder length to Grace’s ginormus boyfriend

Chapter 20: Twice OwnedKendra’ P.O.V:I felt my back hit a wall as I felt a hard, muscular body press against mine. Instinctively, I raised my knee to bash in his balls...that is until I met eyes of startling green looking back at me.My heart nearly burst out of my chest.“I’m going to move my hand, but if you scream, I’ll kiss you.” That threat held a stream of wickedness which I didn’t know he had in him.“What are you doing Tory?” I asked through gritted teeth as soon as he removed his hand.He made a face at me. “My sister calls me Tory; I’d prefer Victor from you.”“Why,” I gave him a loopside smile that I knew men loved, while at the same time I gently moved my hands up his sides. I saw him give an involuntary shudder and felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. “Does that make you feel older...kiddo?”

Chapter 21: SchemesVictor’s P.O.V:I pulled up my zipper and righted my T-shirt before I came out of the alley, but I didn’t go too far from it. I crossed the road on a red light and stood on the opposite side of the road, hiding just behind a wall that divided two shops which were now closed. And I watched.It took ten minutes but Kendra got out of the alley in one piece and then she hailed an oncoming cab and got into it, the cab moving out of sight a few moments later. I felt myself calm down a bit, knowing that she was safe.What I just did might seem like a dickish move, but everything’s not always as it seems. Two years ago, when my older sister had graduated from college, she’d brought her two friends Kendra and Tatiana. Kendra was three years older than me, but the attraction had been instant. They’d stayed over for two weeks and in that time, Kendra and I had gotten very close, to t

Chapter 22: SuspiciousGrace’s P.O.V:“You know, I could just hire people to do this work, right?” Daniel grumbled as he placed the dirty dishes inside the dishwasher.“Yes, I know that,” I said. “But then it won’t feel so...domestic.” That just felt like the right thing to say.“Domestic?” Daniel’s eyebrows disappeared into his hairline before an evil grin spread on his lips. “Alright, then let’s do something elsedomestic.”“Like whaaaa-“my comment ended in a yelp as Daniel scooped me up in his arms and headed straight for the bedroom before diving on the bed with me still in his arms, effectively landing on top of me. “Owww! Daniel, get off me, you’re too heavy!”“Really?” Daniel asked as he straddled my waist and raised himself up on his elbows with his hands on eith

Chapter 23: New Love?Kendra’s P.O.V:“You know you’re acting totally weird, right?” Grace asked me as we parked in front of Grace’s old apartment.“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”I told her a little too quickly as I unbuckled the seat belt. “Besides, this apartment belongs to your brother now, it’ll be weird if I just waltz in and start taking stuff out of the closet. He’ll probably think I’m stealing.”“Why on Earth would he think that?” Grace said as we both got out of Grace’s new car, a present courtesy of Mr. Daniel Italiano. “You’re my best friend and Tory knows that we often had sleepovers in each other’s place.”“So you gossip about us with your brother?” I wondered what else had Grace told him about us...about me. Most probably, by now he thinks I’m a slut.
