Have you ever imagined being in a gladiator ring and having to fight to death before the very eyes of blood thirsty Romans? The Spartacus movie gave a clear depiction of what that felt like, but I'm sure no one has had a real life experience of it like I did. I didn't necessarily travel back in time like Lady Soo in Scarlet Heart: Moon Lovers, but I felt everything. Right there in the classroom, everyone's eyes were on me, feasting on my startled body with their Romanic blood thirsty eyes while Dr Peter stood above all like Emperor Nero, watching as his subjects shot arrows at me; come to think of it, he somehow looks like the portrait of emperor Nero. " Mr Middleton, seems like you would like to continue with the class since you told me to stop", he peered through his thin glasses that were sitting on his big nose, fidgeting with the marker as if he was autistic or had a severe diagnosis of ADHD. " No sir, no sir. That was not what I meant. I........I was.........". " Then wh

I was happy. The morning sun was peeking out its radiant glory from the far east, stretching out a golden soothing color across the horizon. I was sure I had woken up on the right side of the bed because I was undeniably happy. My cheeks were almost red in color when I checked the mirror and just thinking about it made my heart skip a beat. Even though I was excited to meet him, I didn't want to meet him. Not that I didn't actually want to meet him, I mean, I didn't know how to react after what happened between us and I didn't want to ruin things by sounding too casual or too formal, and I was equally pretty sure that I was going to freak out if he smiled at me. I checked myself in the mirror, making sure that my mother's makeup wasn't so evident on my face. It gave me the desired glow up I needed and that was perfect. I picked up my backpack and headed downstairs, joining my dad at the dining table. " Good morning Dad", I greeted as I settled for a plate of oatmeal and pa

Have you ever felt like the world should just end? Like, this rapture and end times we were being told about at Sunday school should just happen just so that you could avoid a potential embarrassment? Or wished that World War 3 should kick off so that you necessarily wouldn't need to live your life as it was before the war? Just so you can avoid embarrassment? Yeah. I felt that way a million times over. I pleaded with the heavens to send fire and brimstone like it did in the days of Lot, or at least to turn us all into salt - Lot's wife became my role model overnight. I just didn't know what to say or do. My hands were still around his neck as he kept blinking questionably at me. " Think, think you idiot. How can we escape this situation?" I asked that silly devil inside me, but he was probably also embarrassed that he had to disappear - at least he could disappear. " Oh no, what should I do now?" I shouted at it this time, just to make sure that he wasn't really in my head again,

There was always a particular saying that water has no enemy; meaning that everyone and everything living needs water to survive. I can pretty much say that the case is also the same with food. Food has no enemy, everyone and everything living needs food to survive, and I definitely needed food to survive that night, just that the food was in front of me, but still far from my reach. " Can I.......um............can I.........", I still couldn't say it. Fuck it. I wasn't on bad terms with the food, I was only on bad terms with the person who made the food, so the poor food did absolutely nothing wrong, and since it was a matter of life and death, I would agree to put our differences aside if need be. " Can I join you for dinner?" I asked quickly, unsure if he was able to get a single word out of what I had said. " Excuse me, were you speaking English or Spanish? If I'm going to listen to you, you have to speak properly", he said. Such a he-devil. I was pretty sure he

Hunter's POV " Mom told me that your secretary here will be attending to my transport needs and your office car is now mine", I said to Hazel with a pint of victory after lovingly staring at his secretary for what seemed like eternity. " Wait, you now address my mother as mom?" he asked in surprise, squeezing his face and making the excess skin on his forehead appear like spotting waves. He was already dressed for work, with an empty glass of milk in his hand. " Of course. She's now my mother, well that's if you minus the additional suffice behind the word ' mother ', but nonetheless, she is now my mother", I was basically ranting, taking pride in showing him that I had his own mother on my side. " Cool. Just great. I certainly will not be surprised if you wake up one day and start claiming that my company is now yours; this house included". " Wow, that would be a great idea", I said and his eyes widened, " I think I'll actually make a fine CEO than you ever will. Don't wor
