“ helloo? ”

Came Daniel's deep voice. Pearl held her breath. It was a bad idea, very bad idea but she was left with no other option. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. It was too late for regret now.

“ Pearl? ”

Daniel sounded concerned.

“ Yeah, yeah it's me. ”

She paused. What was she doing? She should ask him about Lucas. She cleared her throat and spoke, her voice soft.

“ Daniel, do you know where is Lucas? ”

This question was followed by a small silence then Daniel spoke again.

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The long awaited reunion.

    I dragged my heavy body out of my bed. My head was pounding as I held it between my hands. I looked at the time, it was ten am. I was late. I had a meeting at ten thirty. “ Where are you, boy?” I called for Apollo. I saw his blue eyes first, glowing in the dark. He moved slowly, with very calculative steps. “ Did you sleep well?” I sat on my heels before his massive head and rubbed him behind his ears. I always thought about how much of a beast he has become. He gave a low growl in response. I knew he was saying, Yes. I smiled.“ Maxton! ” I called out. Soon he appeared. Big round stomach and a thin moustache, that's what I always noticed first, whenever I saw him. “ Yes, sir.” “ My boy here is hungry. Feed him before he feeds on you. ” I spoke calmly. Behind me Apollo gave a growl, not very loud, but enough for Maxton to piss his pants. “ Right away, sir.” He disappeared behind the door and appeared again, after three minutes. He had a big bowl of meat in his hand. Maxton kneeled

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The event ( I )

    " One , two, three...one two three... back and repeat "I moved in a circle with my hands raised above my head. Caelum held my waist and moved with me. " Yes, come on. one two three.." Today Marina was with us to keep an eye on our rehearsal. The instructor 's voice was sharp in my ears as he barked instructions loudly. I barely slept last night, after all those that happened last night one could barely sleep. “ You look tired, why so?” “Huh? Do I ?” I looked up to meet his eyes. He nodded.“ Umm.. couldn't sleep last night. I was practicing” “ Don't stress yourself out so much Amara ” I nodded, only if he knew the reason behind my sleepless night. I smiled and stepped back, he stepped back as well and then I ran to him. He caught me swiftly and raised me in the air.The room was filled with applause. This has always been my favourite part, where I feel like I'm on the top of the world. Where I think I am the best and where I think that I did something for myself. Everybody i

    My breathing was too slow that my heart skipped a beat. Caelum stood there, smoking slowly. I couldn't see his face clearly but I could bet my life on the fact that he was staring straight at me and for some strange reason it made my stomach drop. but not in a bad way, not because I was feeling anxious or nervous no, it was the opposite. I was feeling a strange type of peace that made my stomach feel weird and that fact scared me to my bones. " Caelum " I whispered slowly as if he would hear me. And I saw him leaning his head back exactly at that moment like he heard me whisper his name, and it relieved him in some way. My ringtone startled me. I looked down at my phone, he was calling me. I picked it up and moved it closer to my ears. I heard his deep breathing first and then his deep, velvety voice came next. " Amara " He spoke my name with so much care, that he made it sound almost sacred. " Caelum " " How are you my swan? " I closed my eyes. After

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   Starry night

    I had just finished applying my face mask when the door bell rang, without even any doubt I knew who it was. Marina told me she'll be sending a assistant for me. But I still checked the security camera before opening the door. You can't take any risk if you're a woman living alone, and as expected it was her. A young girl, probably same as my own age. she stood before the door, her right hand was tightly clutching the sling bag at her side. She was nervous. I opened the door quickly, I smiled at her. She raised her eyes at me and I looked into a pair of chocolate brown eyes, she nervously smiled back. I envied her innocence. I was just like her once before I turned into this particular version of myself, who was cold and.. and strong. " Hello, please come inside, " I opened the door wider and stepped aside. She looked down, nodded once and stepped in. I closed the door behind her with a soft thud. " Have a seat, don't be so nervous, " I smiled once again. I wanted he

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   Not all heroes wear masks

    The city changed as I left the café. At first, it was subtle—a black car that lingered too long at a turn, a woman with a phone pointed just a second too long in my direction. I tightened the collar of my sweater and kept my face angled away from the street. But I knew that feeling. The air grows tighter. And the world, smaller. My driver opened the door for me, and I stepped into the backseat with practiced grace. We pulled away from Verde Fiore, winding through the ancient veins of Rome, heading toward the studio. The second rehearsal was due in less than an hour. I didn’t notice the third car until it sped up beside us. The first flash came like lightning. Then came another. And another. The sound of camera shutters, like mechanical gunfire, filled the space around us. My driver cursed under his breath. “Signorina—paparazzi.” I turned sharply. Three cars now. One directly behind us. One to the left, keeping pace. One ahead, slowing to block our path. From ever

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   A Man Made of Silence

    The office was too quiet, even for someone who’d come to love silence. Or maybe not love it—just forget how to hate it. The rain tapped against the glass of the penthouse windows as I stood staring at the city skyline, the vast sprawl of glass and chrome stretching beneath me. It should have felt triumphant. It didn’t. "Mr. Whitlock, the Tokyo team has confirmed the merger." I didn’t look away from the window. "Put it on my desk. I’ll review it later." "Yes, sir." I heard the secretary retreat, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. I waited for the door to close with a muted hiss before finally turning. The office was sharp and sterile. Mahogany desk, floor-to-ceiling shelves lined with untouched books, and a liquor cabinet I never used. The only thing personal in the entire room was a single velvet box in the bottom drawer of my desk—locked, untouched. My reflection caught in the glass. The tailored black suit, the gray eyes that no longer sparked, the hair

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The interview

    I was still breathing through the echo of the final note, my chest rising and falling with the memory of the spotlight. Caelum was somewhere nearby—smiling easily, his suit tailored to perfection, the picture of charm. The golden embroidery on my white gown glistened as I was led toward the lounge,

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The Swan of Rome

    Five years later They call me The Swan of Rome. The world does. But my name is no longer Pearl Hart. Not here. Not anymore. I changed it the day I landed in Italy with a single suitcase and no voice left to scream. I am Amara Liora now—a name whispered backstage in breathless awe, scribbled on c

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The echo of her absence

    I should’ve known something was wrong the moment her phone didn’t ring. I stood in the middle of the prom, music thudding around me, people laughing, lights swirling—and all I could feel was the cold settling in my chest. I’d checked every corner of the ballroom. The hallway outside. Even the terr

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   The sky is falling.

    The road up the cliff felt longer tonight. The castle loomed quiet in the moonlight as we approached it—no longer golden, no longer glowing. Just still. The sea crashed far below the cliffside, loud in the silence between Anastasia and me. Neither of us had spoken since we got in the car. There was
