The Lie We Called Love Chapter 14
CLAIRE “Sage?” Zeke frowns, scanning her face as if trying to measure up what his eyes see to what his brain recognizes.The so-called sage smiles, more like a grimace, breathing hard and ragged. Her face was still pressed to the floor.Zeke releases her, turns his back to her, and rubs his temples. His shoulders tense, his fists clench.He's furious. I've never seen him like this before.He faces her quickly, his hand inches to grab her by the throat and smash her against the wall. The way his body is trembling suggests violence.But he stops himself and takes a deep breath.Meanwhile, Sage picks herself off the ground, rubbing her neck. She is scared, yes, but her eyes are still assessing, calculating."Why are you here?" Zeke clips out, each word like a grinding stone. He doesn't look at her. Now he paces back and forth, like it's the only thing keeping him sane.“No real reason,” she says, slumping on the couch, her eyes on the ground as she shakes her legs.“No reason?” Zeke sco

CLAIRENo pressure? Fuck him!That was pressuring as hell!Now I'm supposed to work hard to get those memories back even when my head is full of blanks. He just handed me the most impossible homework assignment ever. And the reward is... him?I toss and turn in the bed, pulling the sheet up to my chin. The disappointment is a cold weight. It's not just about sex; it’s about the rejection of the moment, the implication that the 'me' right now isn't enough."Fine," I mumble into the pillow. "I'll remember. And then I'm going to make you regret this."I drift into sleep, but it’s not peaceful. I begin to toss and turn, my mind floating and my vision morphing into a deserted, wet street. The air is cold, thick with the smell of rain. The surroundings are dark, lit only by a single streetlight.And there's this suffocating tightness in my chest, like an overwhelming, built-up emotion that feels like regret mixed with uncontrollable fury.There's a car I don't recognize, but it seems to be
The Lie We Called Love Chapter 12
CLAIREViolet stops ten feet from the gate, her jaw tight enough to crack stone.“What in God’s name do you think you are doing, Harrington? This is private property. Get off my premises and go find your little tramp elsewhere.”Zeke straightens up, smiling faintly, walking majestically like he owns the place.“A little hostile for our first greeting in years. And the tramp is right here.” He gestures to me with a slight nod. “I want her back. Out of this gilded dungeon you call home.”Violet scoffs, taking a step closer. Robert stops his wheelchair beside her, his face unreadable, like he has seen this scene forever.Cassie? She's something else.Her eyes are entirely fixed on Zeke, so intense I think she might shrink from his snubbing.Do they know each other?Violet goes on and on, some words I can't even understand.“She’s family. You have no legal claim, no business here, and certainly no authority. Now leave before I have Security press charges for trespassing and harassment.”Z

CLAIRE“She's here at last.” Violet, my mother, doesn't even look up. She is flipping through a glossy magazine—the kind that features diamond-encrusted dog collars and $50,000 vacation homes. Her expression is one of boredom. Like this is just as she envisioned today to be this exact scene.“Sit,” she says without a glance, tapping on the couch beside her.A welcome word from a queen to a very lowly subject. I stand stiffly in the doorway, like a child covered in mud waiting for the scolding.I finally move. But I don't sit. I stand in front of her, arms crossed.“My God, look at that complexion,” she tuts, leaning forward with the predatory grace of a leopard. She rises, crossing the floor in three steps, and her perfectly manicured fingers clamp onto my chin firmly.“You’re so pale, darling. It’s almost sickly. Have you been sleeping? Or are you just allergic to sunlight now? You need to do something about this pallor before the winter makes you completely translucent.”I try to
The Lie We Called Love Chapter 10
CLAIRE I wake up to see Zeke at the other side of the bed. My head is pounding, mostly from the sheer volume of truth my brain had been forced to ingest. The last thing I remember is the splintering glass, his arms tightening around me, and the shattering realization that I might be a killer. Did I hurt him by accident? Because I remember I was pretty mad. Last time I was this furious, someone got hurt. I’m in a huge bed—his bed, I realize—swallowed by white sheets and a comforter that smells of his cologne. I’m still wearing my clothes from last night… wait. How long have I been here? Zeke is lying right beside me. He’s not staring at me, though. He knows I'm awake. He's ignoring me. I can feel it. He’s holding a book—a fantasy novel, the kind he mocked. He’s reading it, completely engrossed, a pair of reading glasses perched low on his nose. He wears glasses? But why don't they look medicated? He looks… soft. Not weak, but the sharp edges of his jaw are relaxed, and the r
The Lie We Called Love Chapter 9
CLAIRE “What’s with you?!” I snap, yanking my wrist back from his grip. My insides are vibrating. “You don't expect me to remember overnight, do you? I literally just walked in here three minutes ago because I’m losing it! You think you can just… assault my mouth and suddenly I’m going to recall our past? I don’t know you, Zeke!” He doesn't answer. He lets me go and walks away, going straight for a door on the far side of the room. It looks like the bedroom. Bathroom. Whatever it is. “Hey!” I call after him, feeling completely abandoned and furious. “If you know me so well, you know I hate riddles. Start talking!” He stops, his hand resting on the knob, his shoulders rigid. “You know me,” he says, his voice flat and tired. “You just forgot how. Even my…” he sighs then turns. “You're not even helping; you're not making this easier for me.” I scoff. “Guy, you're not being realistic—.” “Stop calling me that. Guy. Dude. What's all that?” he snaps. “Now you’re acting like a
