A Life Abandoned

Allison's POVLazily climbing out of a deep sleep after a long evening shift at the hospital, still feeling the rhythmic hum movement of the emergency ward and the faint smell of antiseptic still clung to me. It was never a thing to complain about, because it was a dream life that I had built for myself.As the morning sunlight shines into the room, it occurred to me what day it was, my 7:00am alarm rang, Yeahhh.. “it is my birthday,” I muttered. A smile touched the two ends of my cheeks, little did I know the course of my life was about to take a crazy turn. And so my life took a major twist on that day which changed the trajection at which my life would go, still with the thought of celebrating my twenty-fifth age —At 8am, while sitting in my small apartment which had always felt like a sanctuary, a world away from the city I had fled, a life I never wanted for myself.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door, it was so loud that it shattered the quiet peace of my sanctuary. As I st

The Citadel, Fox City

My flight landed with an echo of my world collapsing, right in the middle of the city, The Citadel —the capital of Fox City, a place that calls to heart-breaking memories of my return, a reality I had fled from. Even from the airport terminal, I could feel it; the city's heart was a brooding hum of chaos and vice. My memories of Fox City flooded back, bringing a terrifying chill to my soul —I was entering the devil's workshop once again, this was Fox City, and its name wasn’t a mere metaphor. A city controlled by the wealthy, where the biggest crimes were a boastful thing to commit. It was a place birthed from greed and run by thieves, smugglers, drug addicts, and human trafficking. I knew its history not from books, but from the spoken words in my home, especially during dinner. Fox City also had a civilized world —but it was built on the sins of the gang families, founded in blood of war by my ancestor, Karl Wenston, and the first Shelby, who had founded this place in the blood

A Night To Forget

The low, crimson light washed over the room, through the villa’s tall windows, and there were shades of soft, cool moonlight with the color of spilled red wine. The light, like having physical hands, had a warm caress with a whispering of forbidden desires.Allison could feel the air, heavy with the lingering scent of mint and rose running through her nose, and filling her taste buds, and for a moment it looked like an escape from a truth that brought nothing sorrow to her heart. She needed to escape the overwhelming pull of his presence. "Could you... Show me to the shower?" she asked, her voice filled with an unspoken conflict, a desire to commit a forbidden lust raged inside her, the excitement of being consumed by a desire she knew was wrong“It's right over there, sweetheart,” he said —His voice sending shivers down her spine, the tone causing tremors of dark desire within her as she gets more sweaty.She stepped into the shower, his voice still echoing right into her ears as

The Forbidden Glance

While in the garden, taking a walk, my mind racing, desperate to create a lie about what I had just seen. I replayed the scene at the front door again and again, looking for the thinnest excuses to prove my sight had lied to me. "Perhaps I didn't catch his look? Or perhaps thinking about him made me think he was the one I saw? I whispered to the flowers in the garden.As I considered the consequences, the weight of my secret became heavy to bear. What if he finds out who I truly am? And decides to exploit and blackmail me? I mumbled as I stood still in the garden.These thoughts made me have cold feet, but it couldn't put off the fire that still burned inside me, a desperate, torching flame of desire for the man who had suddenly made life in Fox City a much more burning hell for my sins.The moment at the Citadel was still on a loop in my mind, obsessed with every detail of that intoxicating evening —the taste of our lips when we kissed, the gentle drag of his hands on my skin when w

A Toast To Duty

Allison's POVAfter witnessing Hayley and Michael come out from Hayley's room, I made my way to my room, feeling a wave of loathing and disgust.I lean onto the edge of my bed, the noise of the party downstairs was now a muffled distant and a hollow echo, I'd no interest in it anymore. I wondered about the series of events that had just happened, as I replayed them in my mind —a chaotic film reel of unbearable moments. My gut was twisted with a sick, churning anguish. Luke's denial, so cold and unwavering, made me regret that beautiful, reckless night at the Citadel. I was so sure it was him. "Why would he deny it?" I whispered into the air of my room, the question felt heavy and hopeless. To make matters worse, the memory of Hayley and Michael together crawled into my mind, an image I couldn't easily shake off too. My heart ached, at some point it felt like it was fracturing. The weight of everything —the betrayal, the lies, the endless expectations—was becoming too much to bear.
