Flames of love and war의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

LauraI watched Kelvin's eyes widen ever so briefly as he lost composure for a moment. “You did what?”“You heard me,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. “And now, I realized that you've been using me all along.”“Laura, it's not-”“Please, spare the bullshit excuse.” I spit out. “I made a mistake of trusting you when I thought that after we had sex, things might change…I was wrong. You've lied to me and used me.”“I didn't exactly have a choice, Laura. You were an opportunity, one that I didn't have the luxury of throwing aside.” He takes one step closer, but I flinch and he stops. “You need to believe that.”“And I'm just supposed to believe you now?” I stared him down. “You know what? I don't care. Now that I know who I am, I think it's time that I start acting like one.”“What the hell does that mean?” His tone was harsh.“It means that I want to be part of meetings. You're no longer keeping me in the dark or excluded from certain decision-making.” I say boldly, not afraid i

KelvinI practically ran out of the basement after shooting that man in the head.If there's anything, I didn't lie to her about…. It's that the man is a traitor and deserved what was coming to him.However, I didn't like what I had to do to her even though it was absolutely necessary.To be in this position, your heart had to be hardened to a point where you could do things without flinching.Her soul was too pure for such a dark world, and I couldn't let her get tainted.Crossing into my room, I went to the bathroom and flipped on the switch to wash my hands.I tried really hard, scrubbing my hands passionately, but it didn't work.I could still see the terrified look on her face when she realized that she was stealing with a monster.A cruel, heartless monster.Fuck it.I've tried so hard to keep her at arm's length all the time, mostly because I was trying to follow my father's footsteps.In his life, I've only seen him love one woman, and when that woman was no more, it completel

Laura I've seen the dress before but each time I take a look in the mirror, I'm speechless. Not growing up with a lot of money meant that you had to manage, and even if it took quite some time to get used to the way Kelvin and his family throw around large amounts of money like it's nothing, it's hard not to look at this dress with reverence. When pulling it out of the bag with care, I noticed that the price tag had been cut off which is just as well because if I had known how much it cost- even if I can guess it's well into the thousands- I might decide not to wear it. It's an evening gown, but the material was slightly stretchy with a silk-like material that made it feel like I was flowing with the fabric. The neckline wasn't too high, arching into an off-the-shoulder sweep to highlight the delicate line of my collarbone, while the fitted bodice hugged every curve of my body before tapering into an ankle-length skirt with beaded crystals at the hem. The dress in itself wa

Laura“I understand your reservations concerning her but you and I both know that she's quite important to our cause.” His father went on like Kelvin was racing mad.“I don't give a shit about her importance, she shouldn't be here!” Kelvin spat. “You of all people know what she did to me.”“That's in the past and I thought you'd be over it by now.” His father's voice grew sharper. “You're a leader, not a sniveling child who holds on to grudges. Deal with your emotions and let's finish this deal with the mayor once and for all!”There was a moment of silence which made me wish that I could see the look on Kelvin's face, but I was already on a thin line by eavesdropping on their conversation. I'm quite sure they wouldn't take it so well when I walk in on them.“Then I think you should handle it yourself.” Kelvin coldly replied. “Next time, I would appreciate more warning before you spring her on me.”Then I hear the quick patter of feet, which was my cue to run like hell.I dashed into

BrittneyI was walking back to the dining area when Jenna grabbed me, politely instructing her followers to leave while she talked to me privately.“I hope you know what you're doing?” She whispered, her eyes dancing around the room.“Excuse me?” I tried to pull away from her grip but her hands were locked tight around my arm.“I'm talking about your interaction with Mrs Aldoracco aka the ice Queen.” She kept on whispering for reasons that I could not understand.“We were just having a chat,” I said, confused.“A chat?” She gave me a look that I could not decipher. “Why would you be talking to her? You do know what is wrong with her, right?”“Wrong with her?” I repeated, even more confused. The woman I saw and spoke to looked and sounded perfectly healthy. “Why would anything be wrong with her?”She scoffed, letting go of my arm. “Is this some sort of joke? I thought you were married to Kelvin, shouldn't you know what's going on under your nose?”“Jenna, if you know something then tel
