LOGINRonnie’s POVAs soon as I got back to the room, I packed up every single thing I had brought down here; the speed at which I packed up shocked me even. I just wanted to get the heck out of this place and all the memories that came with it.As much as I tried to drown myself in the burden of having to pack, I still found myself checking my phone time and time again till I almost smashed it on the wall.There was still no message from him, and I couldn’t stop myself from thinking.Something cold crept up my arm at every thought that formed in my head.I couldn’t stop the heaviness that settled in the lower part of my stomach.That feeling of dread…A feeling that reminded me that I was stupid for spreading my legs without having to say the word ‘stupid’.Of course, he had an agenda all along, but I was too blind to see it.At least he got his revenge, and finally got me to give my first time to the Monster I once refrained from.Nice job, Nolan.I should have handled everything on my ow
123Ronnie’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the cold.The spot beside me on the bed was cold and empty, like nothing had ever been there. Like last night had been something that happened in my dreams or something I imagined all together.I sat up slowly, blinking against the morning light coming from the curtains.The room was quiet.“Nolan?” I calledNothing.Not even a whisper of reply.I looked around… the bathroom door was open, the light off. His bags were gone. The chair where he had dropped his jacket the night before was empty.He was gone.Just like that.My eyes scanned the room… instinctively landing on the table to see if there was a note there.Unfortunately, there was nothing.I took off the blankets and hopped off the bed, hurrying towards the living room area, where I usually stay.My phone laid pretty on the table where I had left it last night with the uncovered and untouched food I had ordered for us.I scrolled through my phone, hoping to see a message from him.
Nolan’s POVThe ceiling had been staring back at me for a while now.I hadn’t moved. Hadn’t tried to sleep. Hadn’t done much of anything except lie there with her weight pressed against my chest, her body warm.It was like even in her sleep, she was trying to make this harder than it already was.She was sleeping so peacefully.Her breathing was slow and even, her lashes perfectly still against her cheeks, her lips slightly parted. Every part of her was relaxed in a way I rarely ever got to see when she was awake.When she was awake, there was always something guarded about Ronnie, some invisible wall she kept pretending wasn’t there at all.But like this, in the quiet of the early morning with the curtains barely keeping out the light, she looked so much different.I couldn’t stop thinking about last night.Every single detail of it was still running on a loop in my head, clear and sharp, like my mind had decided to commit all of it to permanent memory without consulting me first.Th
Ronnie’s POV“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about, Nolan…”Despite how hard I tried to push the words out of my throat, they only came out in the form of a breathless whisper.“You sure as hell do.” He said, his hands now traveling down my arms and settling on my waist.“Nolan!” I muttered.His hands were already starting a fire in my chest that I had been trying to run from for the longest time.No please…I almost said out loud, but my stupid eyes went shut in anticipation of what he would do next.I could already feel his lips just inches away from mine.No… this is not right!I tried to talk myself out of that moment, but it was almost impossible.My heart kept pounding heavily, like it was increasing its pace by the second.His large hands cupped my face as he pressed a soft kiss on my lips.The kiss… It wasn’t rushed at all.It was almost like he had poured out all his emotions in that one kiss.That was when everything inside of me broke loose.I buried my hands in his ha
Ronnie’s POVTake a deep breath…I kept reminding myself every five minutes.“Just something small and beautiful.” I said while putting the last piece of petal on the floor.I shook my head.“This is too much!” The words fell out of my mouth even before I was done thinking about them.What if he comes in and mistakes this for me trying to get back with him.I began to use my leg to gather the petals together quickly.What do I do now?Probably should just book a restaurant and have them serve him his best meal.That thought aroused another thought in my head.I have no idea what the King likes.“Maybe this was really a bad idea.”Just as I was trying to gather everything, his scent began to fill the room.“Oh shit!”I hurried towards the door quickly before he would get in.I met up with him there in the hallway, trying to block him from further entering the room.“Heyyy!” I said in a high pitched tone as I smiled at his unreadable expression. “You’re back already?”Kim stood by him,
Ronnie’s POVThe restraint I had been holding onto completely snapped.Without thinking, without caring about the reporters and other people watching, I spun around, and ran directly toward Nolan.I collided against his solid chest, throwing my arms tightly around his neck. Tears burst from my eyes so fast, soaking his expensive suit jacket.“Thank you,” I muffled into his chest, my voice broken.“Thank you, Nolan…”His guards stood like statues not so far from him.They didn’t even bother trying to hold me back or stop me from hugging him; they simply maintained their positions.Nolan’s large arms slowly came up, wrapping securely around my waist, the movement was more like he was trying to steady me, rather than hugging me back.After a long moment, he gently gripped my shoulders, pulling me back just enough to look down into my teary face. A small smirk stayed on his lips. “I bet this is enough to make you realize that influence supersedes hours of starving yourself,” he murmured,
114 Nolan's POV My eyes remained on hers, and so were her eyes on me. For a moment too long, none of us moved or even said anything. "Come on!" Enzo urged. "What the fuck are you waiting for?" He pressed even harder, almost as though he wanted to slip out of my mind. A heavy lump formed in my
Nolan’s POV“If you all keep getting on my nerves, I might as well cancel the wedding!” At this point, I could no longer hold back the anger in my tone.Elder Benjamin’s voice seized for a brief moment before he finally said. “I’m sorry, your majesty.” He said, his voice much softer now. “We’ll pau
Ronnie's POVMy palms became slightly damp against my lap.Just a couple of days ago, we were acting like bitter exes who couldn't stand to breathe the same air, and now, here I was, wearing a stunning red dress, sitting across from him in an undeniably romantic setting.It felt entirely wrong, yet
Ronnie’s POVThe next morning arrived far too quickly.I barely noticed it.The curtains were still half drawn, allowing the sunlight to spill into the suite, yet I had woken up long before the sun even decided to show itself.My laptop sat open in front of me.Three notebooks were scattered across
