"When you have a dark side, nothing is ever as good as it seems.”- PinkMELODY POV As much as I hated to admit it, Damir's plan was actually genius. Put aside everything that happened in between. But everything did happen the way he said it would, and I would be a lying ball sack if I said I wasn't loving every minute of it. Not that I would tell him that. Damir was the kind of guy who had an ego bigger than the Kilimanjaro itself. I wasn't ready to be graced by his everlasting, undying conceit.But that was beside the point. Right now, the tabloids were going berserk with pictures of Jordan and I, and things were looking pretty for Thomas thus far. As predicted, the people seemed to be focusing on the possibility of their favorite politician joining hands and forces with their idols, US. And it was funny how they all seemed to think my marriage with Jordan was going to save the world from AIDS. Jordan and I fell into our roles, playing the lovey-dovey couple in front of the whole wo

It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.” - Swami VivekanandaJORDAN POVMy fist slammed into his stomach, sending a stabbing pang into my arm through my knuckles. The blow was intentional, hard, and precise.Kory grunted before hissing like a feral cat, then leaped backward and grinned like the idiot he was."Welcome back to the game, brother." he jumped effortlessly on his toes as he glared at me. We were going down at it without gloves, and anyone would have backed out as soon as a bare fist made the first contact with their ribs. But Kory loved the ache. He got off from sore ribs and blue eyes. He wore his bruises like a medal."Don't hold back." I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead with the back of my hand, then braced my ground. Adrenalin soared through me with a roar as he countered with his right leg. I leaped into the air and landed on my good foot before hooking my knee and ja

" Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow from our dark side, in order to be good "- John BradshawJORDAN POV I waded into a pile of clothes. I could not decide between simple jeans and a button-down shirt, and a suit. But I chew for a fact she was going to be dashing. As always. But who was I kidding? Melody could be down on en old sacks and she would still be the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.Those curves, the way her body dipped and rose in all the right places made her look like an entity that could fit in any era.After an eternity of imprecision and doubt, I settled for plain black dress pants and a dress shirt. It was not a formal dinner, so I foregone the tie. The belt settled on my waist firmly, and black dress shoes completed my look. I was running late, I knew I was because dinner was scheduled to start about half an hour ago, but I had suddenly turned into this teenager who could not leave the house wit

“A handshake and a smile; lost in history, rarely remembered.” – Amanda FinoJordan POVI walked out of the room feeling even more befuddled than I have ever been. A whole week, and my mind was still failing to process what the hell actually happened. Yes, Melody confessed that everything that occurred in the past three months was nothing but a walk down the path she created. I am talking about our first night together, when she shot me, the masquerade and everything that followed. Her immaculate plan also included the gun-down at the restaurant where I fucking split my back trying to protect her. I was both impressed and petrified. I thought I had a faint idea of the woman I was going to marry, but it was clear I was just stringing along with the image she painted in my mind and a lie I effortlessly believed.My feet carried me around the hallways and staircases, but my mind ran amock with all these unbidden thoughts.I settled in my soul that Thomas deserved everything that was happ

JORDAN POVI was beginning to think that everything that was happening right now was my punishment for the sins of the past. All of this here...this was karma. It had to be.The rest of the drive passed with nothing but icy air conditioning, almost pissing me off with the sound of the cars honking and an insane traffic jam.The Cadillac pulled up in front of a giant skyscraper, with nothing but reflective glass standing 68 floors above the ground.There was no time to ogle the fancy structure, so I hopped off the car and stood outside for a minute, relishing the feel of life outside of the blood-stained walls of my lavish prison. A white MayBach pulled up behind the Cadillac and out came Lorenzo dawning a boldly black suit. He walked to my side, and we started walking into the building.
