All Chapters of Shadows And Sirens: Chapter 61 - Chapter 68

River LockhartI trace my finger across the wood of the pool table, Ethan and Lucas are seated on one of the sofas, looking at me in concern. My phone goes to voicemail after dialling Damian's contact number, for the twentieth time."There was a reason why the public hated my family so much." I say, breaking the silence in the game room at the mansion.Ethan looks at me, after hearing everything from me, both of them still remaining by my side. It's only after demanding for a clear explanation did my dad tell me everything he's doing, the number of illegal things he handles uncountable almost."Do you think dad will trust me and let me handle some of his legal businesses if I remain and handle the mess today? If I continue looking after his black businesses?" I ask.Lucas shrugs, "That man is unpredictable."Ethan stands up and walks to the pool table. He takes a red billiard ball from the lot in the middle of the table and

Damian ReidI realise I've actually lost it when I find myself going to River's social media for the first time. He has a considerable number of more than ten thousand followers, and a lot of pictures. I scroll through the first few solo pictures, coming across pictures with Ethan and Lucas.I notice River doesn't have any photos with other people, only his two friends, another guy his age only, no photos with his family at all.I toss my phone to the passenger side seat, a big sigh escaping unwillingly.Just then an alert goes in the police mobile car that I am in, and I quickly switch the accept button, immediately ready to speed up."Officer Damian there's some trouble in XY store. You can handle it without backup." the 9-1-1 service voice says."On my way." I say, siren switched on and racing already.I speed up, using the emergency siren and lights as I arrive at the location in two minutes. I get down from the car, one handcuff in my pocket and the gun ready for any emergency as

River LockhartI kiss Damian on his lips, pulling him down to deepen the kiss and feel him even closer to me. My hands sink into the softness of his hair, moaning at the feeling of his tongue against mine.Damian held my waist tightly before switching our positions and leaning me against the door instead. One of his hands held my chin as he does his thing, sucking my lips feverously, making me feel lightheaded against the door of his apartment.He breaks the kiss after a while, his eyes locking with mine to a hard gaze. I startle when he suddenly picks me up. My legs instinctively wrap around his body, hands on his shoulders as he carries me across the way to his room. Our lips meet for a kiss again as I feel my heart beating rapidly, wondering how far we'd go.All I know is that I want him. I've always wanted him so it is no surprise.Damian drops me on his bed, hovering over me in no second and kissing me deeply once again as he kicks off his boots. It feels nice to be back at his p

River LockhartMorning at Damian's apartment feels nice. I've woken up there a few times, but this time it's different. Damian who has never actually said that he likes me, did say those words yesterday, which is a huge deal!I walk into the dining room area, wearing his clothes that loosely fit me. I notice him by the stove and look around for Linda as well."Where's Linda?" I ask Damian as I stand next to him, leaning up to kiss his cheek."She went to stay with Stella. Got mad at me.""Ahh, why? Did you scold her?" I ask, blaming him right away."Hold on, you are supposed to take my side."I shake my head, "Nuh-huh. Bring her back, it's boring without her."Damian smiles at my words, fixing the coffee machine. I watch as he grounds the coffee, the veins in his arms throbbing as he moves them. I slowly held one of his biceps, wrapping both my hands around it. He looks at me and flexes it, the biceps showing p
