Evie exhaled for the umpteenth time as she combed her silky blonde hair while staring at her pretty reflection in the mirror.For the first time since she's been having dates with Lincoln, she felt extremely nervous.She didn't have the slightest feeling for Lincoln.Rather, all her feelings belonged to his lowlife assistant who stole her heart without her permission.How dare he?And he said that he's gotten rid of the feelings he had for her.Is it that easy to stop loving someone?Or was he lying when he said that?Meanwhile, she's been struggling over here, trying to get rid of her feelings without any success.Why did he have to get in her way?All she wants is her father's company and she wasn't sure she could be around Lincoln anymore, as doing so would only be deceiving him and everyone else.She loves someone else.Someone she shouldn't love.And she's having a hard time over here.Her phone rang and she picked it up to stare at the screen, only to see it was Lincoln calling.
Arthur tapped his foot lightly against the ground as he waited patiently for Ana to come out, a slight smile dangling on the side of his lips.His heartbeat quickened when he saw Ana come out and began to walk towards her.Keep your cool, Arthur. He told himself, then gently opened the door for her.“Hi,” Ana greeted calmly, her face wreathed in a smile.“Hi,” He responded, resisting the irresistible urge to pull her and crush his lips on those soft, pink lips of hers.Instead of Ana entering the car, she just stood there, smiling at him, still not believing that this gorgeous, good-looking man was finally hers.“What?”“Nothing.”“Go on in,” Arthur gestured into the car, “Someone might see.”“Okay,” Ana replied before entering the car.Arthur shut the door and got behind the driving wheels.He glanced at Ana through the rearview and saw her still smiling sheepishly, making him smile too.He started the car and drove out of the estate in silence.Once they were far away from Smith Res
Great! Lincoln thought to himself as he stared up at the white ceiling. Another day of feeling miserable. Another day of pretending to be something I'm not. Another day… of missing… and yearning for… him.Swinging his foot off the bed, he walked over to the full-length mirror on the wall and stared at his reflection.He cleared his throat and then exhaled.“I'm… gay.” He said softly, and hearing it for the first time, felt a little bit weird, “I'm gay.” He repeated, “I'm gay. I'm a… homosexual. I'm… attracted to guys and… I'm in love with a man.”He exhaled once more and smiled slightly to himself, “I finally said it out loud… for the first time. I'm gay.” He paused and sighed, “Wish my life wasn't so complicated and miserable. All I want is to be happy… that's… that's all I want.”The knock on his door made him stop and walk over to answer it.Rahim stood by the door, already dressed for the day. “Hey, bro.”“Hey.” Lincoln replied, “Mhm, let me guess, my father is having breakfast an
“Please…”“You think you can escape me?” He chuckled wickedly, his grip tightening on Ethan's neck, choking the living daylight out of him.Tears streamed from Ethan's eyes as he grabbed his hand, his legs flailing to and fro as he struggled to break free from his grip.“You can't escape from me!” He growled, his unsettling smirk of satisfaction widening wickedly, his grip tightening harder on Ethan's neck, and at this point, life was slowly draining from him. “You're mine!”Ethan's eyes flung open, and he swiftly sat up, his hands flying to his neck as he breathed heavily.He sat silently, in the dark, as he stared into space.Another nightmare.Exhaling, he raked his hand through his hair and the dog began to whimper slowly.Turning on the bedside lamp, he turned to the dog, who had a sad expression.“Aw, did I wake you up, Cookie?” He asked, carrying her in his arms and began to rub her gently. “I'm so sorry for that.”The dog whimpered once more and licked his face.“I'm fine, I
Lincoln sighed for the umpteenth time as he stared at the unsent message he had tried to send to Ethan that morning.He still couldn't believe that Ethan is now done with him and has returned to his old life like he never even existed.This is what I wanted. Lincoln told himself as he stared out at the bustling road. This is what I wanted. He finally told me that he loved me after all his denials and that he wanted us to be together. He told me he wanted me… but I told him we wouldn't work. I told him we won't work unless he tells me about his traumatic incident… and he agreed that we won't work… which is true… but why am I still feeling sad? I don't think I've felt this sad in my life before. The thought of not seeing him again for the rest of my life terrifies me so fucking much! And now there's no other way to reach him… I don't even know his Insta…The car came to an abrupt halt, jolting him out of his thoughts and throwing him forward.“What the hell, Rahim?” He cried out.“Oh, y
Arthur rose to his feet and grabbed Ana's hand. “Can you walk?”“Um… I guess?” Ana replied, “But you haven't answered my question yet. What happened here?”“Get up,” Arthur commanded, adjusting his spectacles.“Answer me first!” Ana gritted, pointing her chin at him, “Did you do this? Is that… is that Hunter?” She gasped, “Is that blood? Oh, my God, Arthur…”“Ana Smith!” Arthur roared and Ana flinched back in shock, “I said, GET TO YOUR FEET RIGHT NOW!”Ana has never seen Arthur talk this way to her, and something told her that Arthur was extremely furious at this moment, the way his eyes were burning.“Uhm… okay.” She made to get to her feet, but she was still feeling a bit tipsy, so she lost her balance and made to fall, but Arthur caught her mid-air by the waist.“There, I got you.” Arthur said, “Put your hands over my neck.”“Uhm… okay.” Ana did as she was told and slid her hands over his neck.“Okay, here we go,” Arthur muttered under his breath, his grip on her waist tightening.
