LOGINWhen our eyes jammed, he smiled, his gaze dropping to my fingers, to the one with the diamond ring on it. “Congratulations, Nara. I believe you two will make a good couple.” Kain said then looked at Landon with an almost spiteful look, “If he ever gives you trouble, know that my arms are open for—“A flower vase flew past his head and missed him only narrowly. Landon had thrown it. I froze but then noticed the two were smiling at each other. “What? Did I say something wrong?” Kain asked, looking innocent and Landon gave him a deadly look.“You’re courting death Kain.” Emily told him.“Was I wrong to let her know she has other options if this one doesn’t satisfy her enough?”“I’m sure Landon does well.” Jeffrey said and Kain smirked. “Only time will tell.”Even as he said that, I couldn’t help but notice the atmosphere between them was changing. Though it seemed hostile between them, but it didn’t feel so. It was as though, they were being playful. “You two made up didn’t you?” I a
Soft kisses on my cheeks woke me up to a bright day. I squinted my eyes until they adjusted and turned to Landon, giggling as he continued to kiss my cheeks. “It’s ticklish.”“I thought you weren’t going to wake up.”“I don’t want to.” I groaned and sank further into the duvet, “I want to sleep one more hour.”I felt exhausted after last night. Landon really went at it like a beast. I felt his hand snake up my back to my shoulders. “If you’re so tired, I can give you a massage.”My eyes flew open immediately, the remnants of sleep disappearing as I glared at him.He chuckled, looking amused. “Emily and the others are coming over in a bit. I guess your friend told them and now they can’t wait to confirm if we’re really getting married.”My eyes opened a little wider. Right. Landon proposed to me yesterday and I said yes. I fucking said yes. I was marrying him. I curled up in his arms and nestled in his chest. “I’m still afraid.” I whispered.“Of what?” Landon’s voice was deep and ye
Dan turned to Annie, “Do you want me to acquire a company for you?” “Holy goddess, he’s truly smitten by you. Emily exclaimed, staring at Dan like he was suddenly unfamiliar to her. “Whatever she tells you, don’t believe her.” “Spoken like someone who has something to hide.” Leo commented and Emily burst out laughing. “She knows everything, Dan.” She told him and Dan’s face obviously paled. “That.. that was my past. You know that I only have you in my heart, right?” He coaxed her right in front of us and we all watched Annie, fierce stubborn Annie as she melted and blushed under his heated gaze. “Get a room guys!” Leo said and Emily agreed. Landon suddenly placed some veggies on my plate and it didn’t escape the attention of the rest. I bit my tongue as they fixed their gazes on me as if waiting for my face to go red and it did only because they way they were staring at me. I argued that but they only laughed harder. My cheeks burned hot as they made sounds of jest. Then
Annie’s eyes instantly lit up immediately. She finished arranging the glass and two bottles of wine which she casually handed over to me to carry. “Slow down.” I told her as she hurried back, excited to see Dan. It seemed like they all knew each other. Dan sat directly next to Landon. “I haven’t seen you in months and you got yourself a mate? You didn’t let me know before you ditched my sister.”I appeared just then and Landon glanced at me. “I didn’t have anything going on with your sister, Dan. Stop stirring up trouble.”My lips curved and Dan chuckled as we placed the drinks for everyone. His eyes were glued on Annie like a lovestruck fool. “Where is Kain?” I asked, realizing there was one person missing. “Uh… he said he was busy when we asked him to come with us.” Leo said but I noticed how awkward he sounded. My eyes narrowed. Something must have happened.“Oh,” I said, feeling a bit sad and disappointed. I remembered how I’d promised to dance with him only for me to get dr
“How did you find me? I thought…”“Shh.. it’s okay. I know.”“You know what?” Annie scoffed, walking towards us with her eyes fixed on him. “You made her worry yesterday. What happened to texting her about your situation.”Landon looked at me then back at Annie. “This must be the friend you talked about.”“Yes.” I answered, my mood suddenly elevated and swelled. “This is Annie, and Annie, meet Landon.”“We already met at the door.” She said, giving him a strange look again. “I’ll leave you two alone. You look like you have some catching up to do.”I didn’t even try to stop her as she left. She was grinning wickedly about something snd i ignored her.The moment she left, Landon claimed my lips hungrily, pushing me into the wall. When we pulled away, we were standing so close and as I held his gaze, looking into those familiar eyes, I saw my reflection in them.And I blinked. I stepped away from him, fighting the urge to scream as I covered my hair with my hands. I’d forgotten how I
I finally found him and as I approached, I noticed he was not alone. He was sitting with a woman, her back to me. I frowned, combined it wasn’t Annie. Annie was shorter and more petite than this woman. “You’re here.” Dan said as he pulled a seat out for me to join them. I hesitantly sat and I looked towards the woman, only for both of us to freeze.“It’s you!” The woman called, her eyes widening but I was even more shocked. “Dina?” I called, “What are you doing here?”“I should be asking you the same question.”We both turned towards Dan and he looked confused as well. “You two know each other?”I looked at him and gave him a nod. “She is the human bitch I told you about.” Dina said in her usual snarky tone and Dan’s eyes went wide.“Language, Dina.” He scolded her and she rolled her eyes before she fixed them on me again. “Don’t tell me this is the friend you brought me here to meet.”“I had no idea you knew each other but from what I’ve heard about you from my sister then it’s
I’ve always thought my boyfriend, Max, was truly in love with me, but when I overheard his conversation with his friends the other night on his birthday, I realized Max was just with me for my money. He called me so many names. A nerd, Naive, boring. And bragged about how he was just going to pass
The place was quiet, felt like it was almost empty. I was focused on Landon’s lips on mine but that was only moment before the bitter taste hit me. He’d crushed the pill in his mouth and was now feeding it to me.It was so bitter that I would immediately threw it out if I could move.Then Ivy check
“She needs to breathe in fresh air.” I heard Landon’s voice filled with panic. “There’s no safe place, Lan. Gavin is engulfing everywhere with red root.” Kain said and I felt Landon turning me into his chest like he was trying to block me from inhaling anything. He was walking hurriedly but my ey
I couldn’t remember how I fell asleep. I was jolted awake by a noise outside. At first, I thought it was nothing, then I saw the reflection of light through the balcony and it was coming in the direction of Landon’s room. Someone was trying to break in. I stood quickly. My first instinct was to f
