Nicco

~~~

“Well, well. I didn’t think I’d actually see you here Nicco Moretti.” Jaxon mocks, a wolfish smile already forming on his lips. Yet, no matter how wide his lips get, there’s no masking the pain he’s in behind a wicked grin.

Dried blood cakes the side of his spreading smile, and his eyes have dimmed significantly since the Soirée, as if being locked up for nearly a month has killed a part of him I didn’t even know existed.

I try not to gag from the smell of Riggs beside him, half dead and chained to a bare, metal bed frame.

The entire room is cascaded in darkness thanks to the heavy curtains that I don’t think Riley or Bella ever open.

I knew he was locked up but this is another level of barbaric. I spin the keys in my hand to channel all my nervous energy somewhere.

Should I feel bad for a man who most likely killed his ex-girlfriend, tried to kill his kid, and is responsible for Ava’s father’s disappearance? I don’t think I should, but that doesn’t stop me fr

    Leonel ~~~ The tyres of the limo screech as Oliver and I are thrown to the side of the plush, velvet seats. “A limo is a really awful choice for a car chase!” Oliver cries, and for the first time, we are on the same fucking page. I raise myself back to the window to see our target, only to find a mass of cars blocking our view. Agitated honks are droned in our direction, with one driver sticking his head out the window and flipping us off. “I don't think they're happy with us.” Oliver hollers. “Yeah, no fucking shit,” I mutter. Narrowing my eyes, I'm able to make out a spot of blue trudging away in the distance, but there is no way our limo is making it to them with all these cars in our way. “Stop the car.” I bark, reaching for the car lock with my mind made up. I would rather risk chasing them on foot than let the car get away. “Count me in,” Oliver says excitedly. I already knew he’d come with me. There has never been a chase that hasn't reeled him in. The mome

    Ava ~~~ “Ava, honey, you have to slow down.” Evie says, “Are you saying Leonel paid people to buy your art?” “Yes. No. I don’t know! Celeste came in and said that’s what he did!” She purses her lips, but whether in confusion or in contemplation, I’m not sure, and quite frankly I don't care. As long as I was able to divert her from the real reason for my tears, then I'm fine with whatever she thinks for now. I can't let her, Oliver, or anyone else know the doubts crippling my mind. And I certainly can't let Leonel find out. But Evie would never let me go back inside after seeing me cry without telling her what had happened, so I told her part of the truth: that I was upset about the fact that Leonel had possibly got people to buy my art. But I don't even think she believes it's true, because she answers slowly, “Okay, but we know Celeste doesn't like you so maybe she made it up?” “Ya, cause she thinks her slutty husband had some weird thing for me.” I mumur “He d

    Leonel ~~~ “You’re going to propose to Evelyn?” I blurt out the second I return to the limo. I’d thought of how I was going to confront Oliver all the while I waited for my cake. When Mariam popped her head out of the kitchen and told me it’s best I go home while she finishes, I didn’t think twice before bolting for the limo. I need to know what the hell is going on. The moment I ask, Oliver’s usual mischievous glance falters, and his golden eyes skitter to the velvet door like he’s planning some great escape. My heart riots, “Answer the question, Oliver.” He shuts his eyes and sighs, “Mariam told you I visited huh?” There is absolutely no way. “Oliver Carter? Marriage? You?” I’m basically wheezing out each word, but so would anyone else if they found out their daredevil PR assistant who could never be tied down to one place wants to tie himself down for life. He turns back to me, an unusually serious look on his face, “Oliver Carter. Marriage. Me.” “What? Oliver

    Ava ~~~ “Mrs Sinclair, you have to keep still!” Lynette exasperates, waving pins for my dress around as if she intends to stab me with them if I keep squirming. But I can’t help it. The dress she’s squeezed me into gives me barely any room to breathe, and it’s only when I shift that I’m able to find a few angles that allow me to exhale. The moment she catches me huffing out air however, she gasps like I killed her sister and immediately pins any loose fabric on the dress. “Skin tight to highlight every one of those sexy curves!” She gushed when I started wheezing. Safe to say there has never been a dress more skin-tight than the one she’s making for me. Making on my body. I don’t know what I expected from Lynette Selsar, but I was silly to think that the woman who made the queen of Spain’s dress was going to simply have me pick from a bunch of gowns. I described to her what I would like ( lace sleeves, a low neckline, a long train and flowers on my veil) and let her

    Ava ~~~ Riley wants to confess to the judge? Is stupidity like a trait we inherited from our father? If she’s afraid, Riley doesn’t show it. I on the other hand, have gasped at least 3 times since she said what she wants to do. There is no way Riley is going to stand before the judge and not get some punishment. I push past Celeste till I’m right in front of her, “Are you crazy?” “Duh.” She replies. I have the sudden urge to hit sense into her, but before I can act on it, Bella says, “We didn’t discuss this at the house.” Riley’s blue-green eyes slide to Bella. I turn as well to find her looking… worried? Is Bella actually showing her concern right now? Like… on her face? Maybe Jaxon actually managed to shoot me and I’m having some sort of hallucination. “If we’d discussed it would you have let me come, Bells?” Riley asks, her British accent thickening. “Of course I wasn’t going to let you come and do something so stupid, Riles.” Celeste makes a gagging noise,

    Leonel ~~~ I think a good determiner of how fucked up your life truly is is if you need a lecture from a baker who hasn’t seen you since your last failed marriage. But Mariam doesn't seem like she’s about to give me a lecture—she doesn't even seem capable of giving lectures. The only thing I’ve ever watched her do is carve raw dough to look like a woman's sculpture in less than five minutes and ice some cupcakes until they literally resembled a rainbow. She’s talented, no doubt, but does that talent extend to marriage advice? She smiles at me from the other side of the wobbly table as if she has no idea where to start with me. “Do you want bread?” She asks politely. “Bread?” I question, creasing my brows. It’s not an odd question for a baker, but it’s an odd question for the situation. Well, I suppose everything is sort of odd in this situation, “I would love some bread, sure.” Her soft smile widens, and with one clap of her hands, two women barge into the seating are
