Deceiving Dimitri의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

The sky above rumbled, deeming the thumping of my foot against the asphalt. Even the universe knew of the storm that wrecked the inside of my little heart. I had been running for a while, hours maybe. The jolts of pain that shot up my leg with every step, began to numb by now, and the tears blurring my vision since my departure, almost dried.    But each time my mind replayed the scene of the bouquet slipping on the floor right before Dimitri collapsed on his knees, sent the fluids cascading down my cheeks like Niagra falls. I hurt him. I hurt the man who did nothing but take care of me at every given chance.    "Why?" A sob left me, and I drooped on the ground, both from melancholy and languish to my bones. "Blake was right. Why didn't I just listen to him? Why couldn't I just stay away?" I yelled at the sky, both from anger over myself and my unfortune fate.    It wasn't long before the cold droplets pou

Just a few more days.    Placing my hand on the cold surface of his cabin door, I stared at it. He was so close, yet so far away. So mine, yet not mine at all. But this boundary, it wouldn't be here for long. I wouldn't let it. I'd tear through each wall and tell him everything. From the lies to my love. I'd tell him just how much I wanted him. Needed him.    I had thought it through all night long and hard. The truth would hurt him, anger him, make him hate me, and it would most definitely shatter me, kill me even. But I didn't care as long as he knew my reasons, my helplessness. I could live with his hate but not with him remaining in the dark.    A sigh escaped me. "I hope you'll understand me."    "What should I understand?" a deep, hard voice sounded behind me.    My eyes widened to the sizes of saucers as a shadow fell over my much smaller one on th

It was no slow dancing anymore. Rather swift and urgent. The violins played at their highest notes, and so did the trumpets or clarinets. The walls echoed in a storm of melodies, and matching them the heels clicked with equal zeal. I didn't know how many times I squashed his feet, nor I was in the state to count, for pure terror gnawed at my chest.    He never complained, but he was no gentleman anymore either, as he manhandled me through the floor, twirling me under his arm, reclining me almost to the floor and yanking back to his arms, before spinning me round and round and round until my back hit a wall.    It was until the dizziness subsided, did I notice that we were out in a deserted hallway. The proximity at which our bodies almost touched, heated my core. His heavy breathing fanned my face as he watched me with that intensity in those eyes that never failed to transform me into a puddle of wetness.   

"What? Are you sure?" Finishing my survey of the event that would be held in one of the hotels owned by the Kingstons, I was heading out when Jeremy, Sunshine Retirement's head guard called.    "Yes. Positive, Haze," he talked in a hushed tone, probably hiding somewhere. "Montero added two more guards outside the building, and one is fucking armed."    I froze in my spot. Did he find out my plan or something? No, he couldn't. None who knew the matter would betray me ever. But then what the hell was he doing?    "Haze? You have to do something fast. It's getting dangerous working here. I've to literally fight my wife every night."   "I know. I'm sorry."    "Look, if this keeps going on, I won't be able to stay here for long."    Closing my eyes, I heaved a heated sigh. How could he threaten to give up at such hour when the senior home

  Dimitri's POV~   "Sir, I know you told me not to spy on Ms Green, but I found out something about her just now, and I think you would very much like to know," Douglas, my private investigator reported.    I frowned both from annoyance and curiosity. "What?"    "She had been seen in contact with the manager of Residential Real Estate Brokerage & Management. Apparently, she has been trying to buy twenty apartments from them," he stated.   I sat up straight in my seat, blinking slightly, and that little bastard smirked, knowing he got my attention. "Why would she suddenly need twenty apartments?"    In response he shrugged. "I didn't do any further research as per your order, sir." He got the audacity to possess a smug look.    Ignoring him, I swiveled around in my chair to my backdrop. Nothing that woman did made any sense
