เข้าสู่ระบบVALE. I'M GONNA KILL HIM. And I was damn serious about it. It kept resounding in my ears and if the voices in my head didn't calm the fuck down any sooner, I might have to go back into that office and beat the shit out of their Governor. The only restraint was the fact that I couldn't let Eryn see the bad and dark parts of me. They weren't exactly sweet. Definitely not made for a woman. “Are you okay?” I questioned as she fastened her seat belt, not saying a word since we left her ex-husband's office. “Yeah, sure. Why not?” She said with a happy smile yet that miserable, sad look in her eyes that cut me open whenever I saw that moist look. “You know we can absolutely cancel if you don't feel like going out anymore.” I said in low tones and her face snapped back to mine in a matter of seconds. Did I say something wrong? “Torren is not enough to dampen my mood.” I felt the smile creeping into my lips and it scared me. This woman was wrecking me. And she probably did
ERYN “Doctor Vale..” I called as he stirred on the hospital bed, fluttering his lashes as though he was finding it difficult to open them. I dropped the wet towel I had been using to dab his face and walked over to the window, shutting it completely as I noticed the light rays casting over his eyes could be a discomfort for him. As he finally opened his eyes, his hands instinctively went to his head as he tried to sit up. “Lay back down. You're still on drips.” I whispered as I pressed his shoulder downward and he stared at me with that curious glint in his eyes. “What happened?” He whispered, waving his fingers slowly as he finally sat up, his back leaning on the head rest while he blinked repeatedly. “The doctor didn't say you'd have loss of memories.” I teased but he just stared at me. “We were in an accident. You collided into an incoming car.” I paused for a second to study his facial features before slapping his arm. “Why would you throw yourself on me like that? I get
RHYSARIO VALE. I tried my fucking best to take my eyes off her lips and ‘try’ to ‘focus’ on the road. It was really a lot of trouble to focus on anything right now. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, the leather squeaking under my fingers. The sound of my engine revving as I started the car did a little tingle in my brain like it was scratching it or something, almost like the only sound I could trust in this moment. Eryn shifted beside me, buckling herself in with that casual ease that made it look like she belonged anywhere she sat. She glanced my way, her hair falling just enough to brush her cheek. “You look tired.” I nearly choked on my own words as I turned to glare at her subtly. She confuses me. One moment she's all distant and not wanting me anywhere near her and the next time, she's acting all…..this. whatever this is. “I haven’t slept.” I simply answered, stepping on the accelerator a bit, trying not to go over the speed limit. “That’s obvious. I mean,
RHYSARIO VALE. I was parked outside of Torren's office again. As usual. This wasn't the first, second or third time. I stayed there for an unhealthy amount of time and left when she wouldn't come out. It's like the entire universe was trying to tell me that I should probably let her go as she wasn't mine to begin with. I put the key into the ignition and was about starting my car when I saw her walking out of the building with some…members from work I guess? And of course, his face is definitely hard to miss. Her ex husband. God, his face annoys the shit out of me. I just stared at her, I should never have let her resign so easily. I should have come up with something good to make her stay. I bit my lower lip and decided to go back to the hospital. I had become a stalker for a woman that didn't even know I was there most of the time. I rubbed my forehead in frustration as my phone pinged for the umpteenth time today and I raised it to take a look. Another message from ‘The
RHYSARIO VALE I wanted to call her. Nope, scratch that. I needed to call her. I couldn't place a hand on how many times my fingers had hovered over my phone screen, wanting to dial her contact and just hear her voice. I had even gone back to her father's ward more than usual in one day to see if she had come in to check on him at least but everything I tried? Dead ends. And the time I mistakenly dialed the number and it went through, I sort of panicked and dropped it. My fingers trembled, my hands were jittering and everything in me was crumbling. She would definitely be with her ex husband now that they're both working together and damn, that just stung more than it should. I bit my lower lips and aggressively shut the patient's file I was reading, leaning back on my seat with my eyes tightly shut. I need to breathe. I need to calm down. You know what? I admit it. I totally screwed up when I told her to leave my house the other day, I shouldn't have let her. I s
SAELA I stared at the phone screen as Rave’s voice came through quietly, but there was no mistaking the urgency beneath it. My jaw dropped and for an instant, it felt like I was just hearing things. What the hell was this man playing at right now? I looked out the window to where Torren was in his car, the garage and sighed. Leave Veloria with me. He said it like it was simple, like we could just pick up and disappear, and the idea made my chest tighten in a way I wasn’t ready to admit. “Leave with you.” I repeated, the words tasting strange in my mouth, to be honest, I feel like smashing my phone against the wall right now. Anything to stop hearing Rave but he was valuable and Torren? Well, he is beginning to act like an ass. I have no idea when things would blow over. “Just… walk away from everything here. Torren, this house, the life I’ve built, how can you expect that from me?” His voice softened, and I could tell he was being careful now, like he was trying not to brea
