All Chapters of Cruel Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sincerely? I wanted to say that I pushed him, that I didn't return the kiss, and that I even punched his beautiful face.But the moment his lips collided with mine, I just lost it. It's the same feeling of receiving something you knew you were craving. Which of course wasn't on purpose... at least not on my part.I responded with all the words to his kiss, not a romantic kiss like in the books, but dominant, intense and possessive. My hands grabbed her jacket, pulling it towards me, and Kaanadan pressed his body against mine, wrestling me with the shelf full of books. His tongue dove into my lips, tangling with mine without even giving me a chance to think through what we were doing. Better what I'm doing. Her taste was a little bitter from some kind of drink, but there was also something sweet like some kind of candy, whatever. Her rigid body oozed strength and heat as she held me closer. Her hand slid from the back of my neck into my hair, pulling me closer to her and deepening th

- Anything else? the woman from the jewelry store asks as she passes a blue sapphire earring at the register.- No, thank you. - I say sympathetically.She puts the jewel in a black velvet bag and hands it to me. I already pay quickly, turning around and joining the bags of clothes Damiano holds. Scott only holds the shoes.“Come on, boys. - I say and smile.They both look at each other and follow me.With the boredom that I was at home, after taking a morning run, I decided to go out to do some shopping. Of course, I have new clothes that I had to buy for my move to Washington, but there was something specific that I had to focus on. Yes, those strips of cloth that I was told were nightgowns. I renewed it for something I would really enjoy wearing, and I also took the opportunity to buy some gifts for Gina and Celina. Gina because in a week it's her birthday. Celina because I'm sure she would come and kill me if I didn't send her something too.I get in the car, watching Scott

Kaanadan's eyes looked at me further than was possible. My poor heart would have a heart attack quickly if this continued. His blue eyes and serious was the symbol of a predator, while I had my breathing heavy, and a position identical to a prey.I took a deep breath and deviated from his body, moving away from it. I walked over to the pool table and ran my hand through my hair, forcing myself to look back at Kaanadan.“Look, I just wanted to take it out on what you did to me. - I try to explain. 'Nothing's going to happen, and whatever you've got planned, I think you'd better give it up.'- To give up?- Exactly.He looks at me and I return the look. God, what a look...I look to another corner and Kaanadan approaches, I look back to scold him, but he pulls me in a way that my body breaks down, and then he doesn't hesitate to kiss me in his voracious and intense way. I force myself to refuse to accept. Not to give in. Not corresponding. But then he threads his fingers into my h

I woke up when I felt a certain cold. My sleepy eyes swept across the room, finding Kaanadan standing in a corner of the room. It's dark except for the faint yellow light of a lamp on a table next to Kaanadan, and it's just enough for me to see his bare torso sprawled with cuts and stitches. The biggest ones are on the belly and a single one under the ribs, also the only ones with stitches. I gasped when I saw blood still oozing from some cuts.That was enough for her gaze to come to me. My breath hitched. Her gaze was cold and gloomy... terrible, if it's any clearer. I thought I'd already known his dreaded look, in that engagement, That the look that for years haunted me was the ultimate of shadows, but... this one is worse.I swallowed and then sat down on the bed. "Kanadan..."- Go back to sleep. Her voice was harsh, cutting me off quickly with a hoarse, tired sound. It looks like it hurts, since right after, he touches his own throat.I feel a different fear invade me, but I i

— No. Celina hates me, why would I let her in my house?Lunch has already arrived, our plates are half full, and our conversation remains low but sharp. I stare at Kaanadan in confusion. He looks at me seriously.Yes, there went the good weather."Because she's my sister!" - I respond quickly. “It's her birthday and I want to be with her. Either let her come or I will.Kaanadan looks at me more seriously. I still don't give up.“Neither one nor the other. Full stop."Kaanadan, thank me for asking..." I threaten. “She comes with you whether you like it or not. In a way, the house is also mine and by right, I can put whoever I want in there!"Not without my permission.""Then you better give it to me."Fury. We looked at each other with fury in our eyes. I wonder what would happen if he also knew that Victorio comes with the baggage of this matter. But for starters, I just need confirmation.Kaanadan goes back to eating and I do the same. But even the taste is no longer the sa
