Lahat ng Kabanata ng Con Artist: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Standing by the living room indoor balcony, I looked down at the foyer watching the rich mingle with each other, some giving each other warm smiles while others were clearly faking it.  Heaving out another sight, I took a sip of my champagne and looked around the house, even though I've been in here before, I still cannot believe how amazing this house is. The marble stairs tied in greatly with the floor, if I was to get drunk here, I would need somebody to help me walk down these stairs. The railing was made out of wrought iron, clearly, somebody spent the whole day polishing this looking at how much it was shining.  The chandelier had to be really expensive, how do people even install it without dropping it or something...Theo's parents sure are rich. "You really don't want to be here don't you?" Adam

"How are you feeling?" I turned to face the door where Theo stood holding a tray in his hands smiling softly at me. I looked around the room and realised that this is one room I've never been in, I stared down at the black duvets that covered my body. My body was clothed in a white shirt that smelled like he did.  I looked at the curtains that were pulled open a bit to allow the sunlight to pour through, "You're in my room," he said and I didn't respond. "Xania?" "Do you have a bathroom here?" I asked and my voice came out raspy, I licked my dry lips and I waited for him to answer me.  "That door right over there," he pointed to the door that was on my left-hand side, I pulled the sheets off my body and I hissed feeling an immense pain hit my belly, Theo rushed to my side putting the tray on the bed, he

 "What are you doing here, Xania?"  "I came to talk to you," I carelessly shrugged and he squinted his eyes, shaking his head.  "What about?" "What you always want to know." "You're going to tell me...willingly? At night?" "I'm only free right now, but if you want to reschedule for tomorrow then fine, but you'll be too late," I said and he nodded letting me into his house. "Thanks," I muttered. "I would have tea prepared if I knew you were coming over, this is the first time you've come free willingly." "I don't want tea, can you sit so that we could talk," I asked him and he grinned sitting down next to me and I

Theo and I stared at each other waiting for the other one to begin talking, I had no idea what he wanted to say to me and I just hoped whatever he wanted to say wouldn't sway my decision or disrupt me from saying what I wanted to say.  "You start," we both said at the same time and I chuckled, shaking my head. "It seems like what you want to tell me is much more important than what I want to say," I said and he nodded.  "Okay, let's sit down," he said and I followed him onto the couch sitting next to him. "Okay, so I was-" he breathed out a shaky breath before shaking his head. "Fuck this is hard." "Take your time," I held his hand in mine. "There is this girl that I knew and you remind me of her," okay? "My parents didn't like her and always wanted to keep

I sat in my office reading through the documents for tonight. Paging through the pages and the targets, I once again read the specifications for the umpteenth time, something didn't make sense and it was bugging me.  'I called out your name, but it wasn't you that came, THEO IT WASN'T YOU!' I groaned, closing my eyes, slamming my fists against the desk, is this why I can't focus? Threading my fingers in my hair, I pressed my face against the desk and released a huge sigh.  It hurts. Why does it hurt?  I pulled out my phone and I scrolled through my gallery, littered with Xania's pictures and videos. I scrolled through the pictures I had taken of her when she was painting, she was on her knees with one paintbrush pushed against her middle ear,
