Flames of love and war의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

Kelvin“I-I I swear that it's not what it looks like.” Laura stammered out.“Okay, so let me guess, rifling through my father's things was a mistake, and you just happened to stumble upon that document?” I pointed at the document spread out in front of her that outlined the healthcare facility my mother was currently housed in.She swallowed, glancing at the files before her, probably realizing how it looked. “I guess I walked in here because I was searching for something but I swear I wasn't checking for this or…” She stopped halfway throwing her hands up in exasperation. “You know what forget about it, you're not going to believe me either way.”Flipping her hair back behind her ears, she walked out from behind the desk, heading straight towards me. At the last second, she sidestepped me, her shoulders brushing mine as she tried to walk out the door.Not that I let her.My hand flew out, latching across her arm to stop her short. “Where do you think you're going?” I asked without tu

KelvinAfter father's announcement, Laura disappeared, leaving me to see the guests out and make sure no one was wandering the halls or poking their heads in places they shouldn't be.“Bye,” I waved to the last guest with a smile, standing in the middle of the courtyard to watch the car retreat and move past the gates until the only thing I could see was a wink of light in the distance.Thinking I could now have some quiet time, Dylan materialized out of thin air, a pensive look on his face. “Your father wants to see you in his office….now.”My stomach curled at that news.The look on Dylan's face already told me that whatever this is, it wouldn't be good.Without saying a word, I went up the stairs, turning the corner, and walked down the hallway that took me to my father's office.As I stepped foot in there for the second time today, I was reminded of the look on Laura's face when I caught her snooping.I swallowed back the truth on the tip of my tongue, stopping in the middle of th

LauraWaking up in the morning is my best thing to do.But I think waking up in the morning with the sunlight filtering in through the windows, in bed with a man who makes my heart flutter and my body tingle with pleasure has to be the next best thing.I've been awake for a while, but for some reason, I haven't opened my eyes.I guess I knew that doing that would break the novelty of this entire thing.Eventually, I couldn't stay with my eyes closed, and they fluttered open.The first thing I saw was the sky.Apparently, we were too immersed in each other last night to shut the windows before we fell into bed.That said, the last thing I remember was us having sex on the couch… how did we get here?I turned ever so slowly so as not to wake Kelvin up.His curly dark hair fell atop his forehead, adding a sense of boyish charm to his features.Now that he was asleep, his face wasn't curved in hard edges, most of them softened by exhaustion.Unconsciously, I raised my hands to run them th

LauraI felt a tingle at the back of my head, only for me to turn and spot Kelvin watching me with narrowed eyes.Ignoring him, I picked a spot in the corner of the room, watching Benjamin walk up the stage and charm the crowd before allowing an older guest to take his place.Soon enough, I grew bored because, unlike Kelvin, I didn't know anyone at this event.I met up with Katie again by the buffet table. “Seems like you're enjoying yourself,” I noted, picking up a plate and greens.“I'm not. Dylan keeps ignoring me and I'm tired of it.” She grumbled under her breath as the line shuffled forward. “Why bring me here if he wasn't even going to look at me?”Hearing her speak, I realize that it was annoying. We were two beautiful women waiting on men who didn't even give us the time of day.Meanwhile, we could have several guys eating off the palm of our hand with a snap of our fingers.“I'm thinking that we should forget about them.” I piped up, adding a piece of chicken to my food. “We

LauraI was done being his plaything.If Kelvin can't make up his mind about what he wants then I'll make it for him and right now, I'm more interested in doing what I want.His jaw clenched. “I would remind you who you're talking to at this moment, Laura, so be very careful with your words.”I didn't flinch at the subtle threat. “Or?”“You won't like the outcome.”I pretended to shake. “Ooooh, is that a threat? I'm shaking so hard right now.”“Laura, I swear to God if you don't -”“If I don't what?” I cut him off, emboldened by the dark.I might come to regret my actions in the morning but for now, it feels damn powerful not giving a shit about anything.He stares at me, eyes darkening when his eyes dipped to my lips.Huffing an annoyed sigh,he just shook his head and tried to walk away only to stop a few steps away and come back, looking angrier. “Image is a big part of we're doing so if you wanna go ahead and mess things up because you're in the ‘mood’, then go ahead.”“So the only
