Matt
I know Ace must be losing his mind because of the video of Elisa I sent. It satisfied me that I made a Torane weak for the first time. They caused havoc and pain for most people, and I was doing everyone a favor by taking the very thing they cared about. I know with Theo with me, I could go far. Ace would do anything I say for him. I can’t wait for the day I finally show him he lost everything he has because of me.
“Do you think they have seen it yet?” Elisa asked, “I’m a talented actress if I say so myself.” She laughed.
“Yeah, you are,” I added with a sigh.
“Why the sad face?” she threw her hands over my shoulders, “This is what we wanted.”
“Not now, Elisa,” I said, pulling her hand away.
Matt “What the hell did you do to her?” Thomas walked in shouting, cutting my train of thought. As usual, she goes running to him like a child every time and he comes running. This was exhausting. It was getting annoying. “Listen, this is between me and your sister,” I said, rubbing my temple. “No, Matt. I warned you not to hurt her or make her cry,” he said, reaching for my collar angrily. “And I told you we shouldn’t lie to her about the entire plan.” I pushed him back. “What do you think she is going to do when she finds out that I wasn't just a friend to Diya?” I whispered. “I never asked you to fall for her,” he replied. “Are you trying to justify that with me?” he accused.
Diya I tried sleeping hoping to have better dreams, but every time I closed my eyes, all my dreams were turning into nightmares. As I dragged myself out of bed, I was more tired. I yawned, my eyes half opened, stretched before I stumbled on something on my feet. I opened my eyes wider, looking down on a foot as Ace shifted on the floor. “Ace!” I shouted. “Why are you on the floor? When did you get in here?” I asked, poking him with my foot as he groaned. “Stop that,” he said. “Why are you up this early?” He pulled his fleece blanket up covering his face. “Get out,” I hissed. “You are in my space. Why would you sleep on the floor? There are plenty of rooms in this house. You have your own bed.” “Stop shouting,” he said, “Please.” he pleaded.
Filip Five years ago, Ace had been gone for ages. I was doing a terrible job of being the best man. Everyone was asking me questions I should know, but chose not to. My mind was busy. I had been trying to get a conversation with the maid of honor, but she was avoiding me. Something about her was magnetic. I wanted to be where she was. I wanted to spend more time with her. Maybe if I was doing best man's duties, I would have a chance, but she would see through me. I sighed as I walked in search of the groom when I saw him walk to his grandfather. Ace walked to me and I creased my forehead. "Is there no wedding?" "There is," he added. "I need to change before we start." I shrugged, not asking questions. I followed him to a changing room and took a sip from my cannister. Ace quickly changed into an extra shirt he had when we got here. "What is up with you? Are you trying
Ruby This was insane and not how I had planned my day. My heart was beating out of my chest so hard as I clung to Filip like a monkey as he held me tightly. I never expected to be in the air like this when I saw the rope that was thrown. I felt like a fugitive but it was the best feeling because I loved the adrenaline. As we got higher, I could see people getting smaller, like ants. As he laughed, I looked up at him with a smile and held him tighter. The wind in my face made me close my eyes and enjoy the moment, although I should have been afraid. I pulled off the veil on my head and let it fall before I laughed and screamed joyfully. I felt alive and free. I was happy to be having such an exhilarating moment. I wanted it to last longer, but the moment didn’t last as we went back t
Ace I didn’t know what was worse anymore. Hearing Diya say she almost lost our son broke me into a million pieces. I tried to be strong for her sake, but this was unbearable. She went through all this alone without me. I would give anything to have the experience with her. “You didn’t lose him,” I said, rubbing her back. “He is alive. That’s all that matters.” “I know, but I miss him so much. I want him here with us.” “Me too,” I sighed, “Me too, honey.” I pulled her tight and let her cry. I didn’t care that the pull was straining my ribs. This, right here. Me comforting her like this was worth all the pain in the world. I loved her with all of my heart. I never stopped. “Promise me, we wi
Diya “I couldn't believe it when Filip said you were here. I thought something happened.” Ruby chewed her lip, looking away. “I mean, after everything that happened. You disappearing. I thought Ace might have done something to you.” “A lot happened. I decided to come back, but then I was taken,” I shrugged, “Honestly, I don’t want to talk about me. What happened? The dress looks nice,” I said, looking at her as we moved to sit on the bed. “I know. I was getting married actually,” she looked down, embarrassed. “What?” my mouth dropped. “Ru, why are you here? Are you married? Who is he? I can’t believe you found someone,” I smiled as I waited for her to respond. “Well, the wedding didn’t happen,” she said, not disappointed. “I was about t
Filip “Are you done daydreaming about Ruby?” Ace scowled, looking unimpressed. I was sitting across from Ace with a smile forming at the corners of my face. Ruby didn't know how to think or breathe when she saw me. It was exciting to hear such words considering that with me she hardly spoke about her feelings with me. I might have a weird way of showing I care, but I loved that girl. “Are you seriously still doubting Diya? After hearing all that?” I asked. "Yes." I rubbed my chin, leaning back in my seat. I shook my head at him. I will not let his bad mood spoil mine. Ruby didn’t exactly say it, but she loved me. I smiled again. Ruby was in love with me.
Ruby “I’m okay. I’m fine,” I said, slumping on the bed. Filip and I were nothing to each other. He was free to do whatever he wanted. “Ru,” Diya came and rubbed the side of my shoulders. “We are not together, D. I was going to marry someone. I mean, the reason I came was for you. Not him,” I harshly wiped a tear away. "I don't care, I'm not bothered." “Come on, we both know that’s not true,” she said. “It is,” I pouted. “I don’t care if he is with someone else. I'm fine. He can do whatever he wants.” I ran my fingers through my hair with my fingers. “Ruby,” Diya called, "It's okay to be jealous." "I. Am. NOT!" I huffed.
