Semua Bab Flames of love and war: Bab 91 - Bab 100

LauraThe next few days went by really quickly, and there were several activities blended into each other each day, inching closer to the Gathering.The Aldoraccos are preparing heavily for that day as Kelvin and his father were stuck in meetings with several high-ranking men for hours, only resurfacing for air periodically.But on the brighter side, after that night in the garden, my relationship with Kelvin has changed significantly.It wasn't huge like public displays of affection but compared to how aloof he was, it was a major deal to me.After a stressful day, most of the time he would retreat to my bedroom and if he was in a good mood, we would talk…as much as he could about these sensitive matters to me, anyway.If not, he'd tie me up and exert his frustration on me by driving me into clouds of pleasure.Aside from that, he's also coming out of his shell more, seeking random excuses to spend time with or talk to me.Like, take for example, what he was doing right now.I have a

Laura“Let's go,” Kelvin instructed, grabbing my hand as we got out of the car.A private plane was idling on the tarmac, a few feet away with a red carpet rolled out in welcome.Two beautiful air hostess were stationed by the sides of the plane, close to the stairwell, with wide smiles on their faces.“Welcome, Mr and Mrs Aldoracco.” They chimed, reached for my carry-on bag and Kelvin's.He smiled back at them, smoothly sliding a couple of dollar bills into the first lady's hand.I've been in only one plane before in my life, and while it wasn't anything fancy, I was totally blown away by everything.The mere science of it, the fact that I was a couple of thousand feet in the air…it was a wonderful thing to experience.However, that experience didn't even come close to this.As soon as my feet stepped inside, I realized that this wasn't just a regular plane... it was a freaking penthouse on wings.Inside the main cabin was a centre of luxury.Cream, leather seat so soft that it swall

LauraOur hosts, the Rocci's walked in, looking like a million dollars.The dress code was beach casual, which is what almost everyone here came in, but they looked like they were going on the cover of Vogue.Stacy's makeup and choice of accessories were impeccable, down to the tiny silver bracelet on her wrist.Damian, on the other hand, wore off entitled, rich asshole pretty well, strutting forward with his chest puffed up and a smug smirk on his face.He and his sister went up to the podium, a symbol of wealth and power.“Evening everyone,” Damian started off first, his voice booming across the walls. “It's really a pleasure to have you all here tonight. I understand that most of you have journeyed far to be here for this memorable occasion, and I am deeply grateful.”With a pause, his sister took over, ever graceful and charming. “This week is a host of activities. We do realize that there've been some new additions to the families, so these activities were specially curated to cr

Laura.Kelvin and I met up by the beach and he even looked more tired than I felt, making me wonder what they must have been talking about there.On the car ride home, he barely said two words to me, except to say. “My father and Dylan will be here in the morning.”Then he got into bed and promptly passed out.I followed suit shortly after, only tossing and turning for a few minutes before succumbing to exhaustion.I woke up early the next day, to prep and get ready for his father's arrival.Unfortunately, I wasn't much of a chef, and aside from snacks, the fridge and pantry weren't stocked up with much.I had to reach out to the kitchen, which was on the other side of the beach.I hated stressing them to come down here, but I hated the thought of meeting Mr Aldoracco empty-handed even more.They showed up on time, with the dishes I requested for and I got started on setting the table.Since Kelvin didn't give me an exact time, I placed most of the dishes in the microwave so they woul

LauraI whirled around to see Stacy's smug face behind the spill, surrounded by a couple of girls. “Stacy, what the hell?!”“Oh, sorry! Did I get juice all over your dress?” She cooed in a sickly sweet tone.I vibrated, anger bursting in my veins. “I wanted to retaliate but we were surrounded by her friends, not to mention, we're at a party.The last thing I wanted to do was cause another scene.Skye, however didn't care. “Stacy, that was fucked up!”“How? It was a silly mistake, I slipped and the drink splashed.” She batted fake lashes as if anyone was gonna believe her lies.“As if!” Skye scoffed, turning her nose up. “You should be better than this.”While they were going back and forth, the drink was sticking to my skin, travelling to regions that I didn't want to think about.Not to mention, my present company made me feel physically sick. “I'm just gonna go …” I mumbled under my breath, pushing past the ladies so I could wander in the direction of the restroom.Unfortunately, I
