 Men were like locks. Complicated at first glance, but with the right keys, they click open. Eric Wilson was no exception. He only thought he was untouchable.

  • Twisted Fate   Chapter 11: No Eric, this is the beginning- Veronica's POV

    *****Back at home:I walked in on my parents having a conversation about Olivia. I watched them secretly as they paced around. Hadn’t she been the reason the Summers lost everything? The news was, Olivia had now left the city after being disowned. That wasn’t enough for me- being disowned, leaving the city. I wanted her out of this earth. Fortunately for me , she gave me the perfect opportunity to keep her out of sight. As long as she wasn’t in this city, i could manage.I let out a huge breathe, preparing to enter the living room. “Olivia again?”, I sulked. “Shouldn’t we be discussing about how to make the marriage continue?”“What exactly is there to continue? She didn’t abscond, she had a scandal…. right after her wedding… on he

    Alex didn’t say a word. He didn’t need to. The weight of his presence was enough. The men muttered under their breath, running into the dark for the fear of being caught. This was strange, Alex came alone and was clearly outnumbered, but they still fled.“Seems like you’re a big shot around here”, I said, impulsively. I hated the way relief flooded my chest. I hated that once again, it was him who had saved me. For the third time in a row. He stepped into the alley slowly, fixing his gaze on me.“I told you, Olivia. Pride won’t keep you safe.” He said quietly , squatting in front of me.He was right. Pride won’t keep me safe. I wasn’t thinking about protesting

    I turned to take my leave. A part of me wanted Alex to stop me. As i walked to the front door, i had the urge to take back my words at the last minute. My chest was heavy, and yet, i refused to look back. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction he wanted. Not after the final answer i gave to him. I held the strap of my bag tighter and pushed the front door open, the morning air hit me with a rush of cold that prickled my skin. I was going back to the streets. I didn’t know where I was going, all I knew was that I couldn’t stay. Not in his house. Not with him watching me like some puzzle he already knew how to solve.I walked slowly as if, expecting something. Alex didn’t call out. He didn’t follow. That, more than anything, bruised my ego badly.“Good,” I muttered under my breath as i stepped onto the quiet street. “Stay in your perfect little palace, Alex Wilson. I don’t need you. Not now, not ever”. I sulked.The city was already awake, bustling with the rhythm of ordinary lives. People

    The words dropped between us like a bomb. For a moment, I simply stared at Alex,I was sure i had misheard. Then a sharp, incredulous laugh escaped my lips.“You can’t be serious.”“I’m dead serious.” His tone carried no humor yet no hesitation.“You’ve lost your mind.” I shook my head, backing away as though distance might undo the ridiculous statement i had just heard. “I came here because you offered me a place to stay for one night and not to be trapped in one of your twisted games,” I paused, “You do know the failed marriage you talked about is between i and your younger brother, what would your family say?”“This isn’t a game,” Alex said, stepping closer, his voice was st

    The faint glow of the morning crept through the wide windows, spilling across the living room where i laid. I didn’t mean to fall asleep, at least not in his house. I recalled him offering me a room to lay my head. I remembered declining, wanting to prove a point that my stay was temporary- just for the night. I sighed deeply, sitting upright. The scent of freshly brewed coffee caught my attention. For a moment i forgot where i was. Hmm, fresh air. My world was noisy and this place, there was this unnerving quietness that only wealth could afford. Then the memory hit me like a stone- the robbery, Alex rescuing me, and my own defiant words- just tonight.I pushed the blanket aside quickly, as if rejecting the comfort would undo my slip of weakness. I rose from the couch, brushing my hair out of my face while
