WED-OUT

LUCA The reception was supposed to be for just two hours.I checked the time on my wristwatch and saw an hour had flown by already.Even though it felt like I had been here forever, I was grateful to have just an hour left.“Luca Barone. It seems you finally got your wishes.”I looked up to see Darien had finished dancing with his daughter who was now dancing with one of her cousins.“It seems so,” I replied to the man whose smugness provoked the shit out of me.“But is it? Is it really over? Or maybe this is just the beginning?”“If you have something to say, Darien, say it. Between the both of us, there's only one person who has actively sought to harm the other, and it isn't me. By the way, why has my truck and my goods not been returned?”I watched him smile, and my knuckles vibrated.The temptation to punch that smile off his face was almost too difficult to resist.“You know, I heard the FBI is investigating you.”He said that to get a rise out of me. It was too obvious what hi

HELL YES!

MIA“Oh my God, pretty girl. You got vintage Dior too? Vintage Dior?!” Peach almost screamed my ears off, as we went through the things I shopped for in Paris.“I guess,” I replied modestly, because I didn't know how else to respond without sounding like I was bragging.Bragging wasn't my thing. Not until there was a real need for it.“He bought you a Birkin. Hold me, I'm going to faint!” She freed up her body, and it swayed behind, landing on my bed.That made me actually burst out laughing.“I know right? All of the celebrities I used to see in Hollywood would usually carry one. I can't believe I own one now.”“Honey, he loves you.”I froze.“I'm not even kidding, Pretty girl. He is in love with you. Do you know how much in total all of these costs? A fucking fortune.”She seemed to realise I wasn't reacting, and actually stopped talking to spare me a glance.“Hey, What's wrong? Did I say something off?” “No, nothing. You're joking of course. Love? That's impossible,” I scoffed.“O

MRS BITCH

LUCAThe wedding was finally over, and I could breathe easily again.After the last guests left, I swept Olivia off her feet into my arms, and walked away from the garden.“Are we jetting off for our honeymoon, darling?” She questioned with a giggle.“In two days time, yes. There are things I kinda need to sort out first,” I replied.“Okay! That's fine with me.”For a tiny moment there, I felt sorry that she was just a pawn in my game.Despite all her flaws, somewhere deep down, there was just a lost soul wandering about, desperate to connect with something that would give her the validation she needed.Unfortunately, I didn't possess the thing she needed.Just as I walked towards the turn to her room where I was bringing her, Mia's door, at the end of said turn, opened.I stopped dead in my tracks, as she walked out alongside Gerald.My stomach flipped when my gaze found her face.She stole my breath away, standing in that dress, obviously prepared for the golden chair.“Hey darling,

ULTIMATE SEARCH

MIAI was distracted tonight, and I didn't like it.All I could think of was the devil carrying the other little demon, Olivia.It wasn't supposed to be a bother, because I was supposed to be going with the flow.Yet, here I was in the golden chair, which was my escape place, wishing I could be somewhere else.Not even the cheers from the clients tonight, lifted my spirits.When my shift came to an end, I was more than happy to be taken off the chair.“Are you okay?” Peach asked the second, I changed into normal clothes after taking off my costume.A new room had been opened up for me. It was my changing room.This meant I didn't have to dress up from my own personal room anymore.“The door.” I nudged my head at it.She understood, and shut it behind her..“Okay, I made sure the room has thick walls so no one can eavesdrop.”I smiled, remembering how surprised I was a few hours ago, seeing the dressing room for the first time.“Where was this smile at the golden chair tonight? Don't g

APHRODISIAC

MIAI said goodnight to Peach after she escorted me all the way to my door, and watched her leave before I walked into my room.My plan was to fall on my bed, and sleep until noon at the very least.That plan was immediately derailed when I saw the devil standing in the same position he was standing, the very first time I found myself in this room.His back was turned to me, as he stared through the window.So many thoughts ran through my mind at that moment.At the very top though, was Olivia.This was supposed to be her night with him. Despite how much that thought hurt me, I knew it was right.“I used to hate looking at this garden,” he said without looking back at me.I didn't know how to respond to that, so I didn't bother responding.“Passion hated gardens too. That's why she didn't want to stay in this room.”At this moment, I was waiting for the point of this journey down memory lane.“You've made yourself one with the room. When I came in earlier, it felt like walking inside

DISTRACTION

LUCA I was distracted.It was a new day, and I had eaten breakfast with Olivia, which had sucked.All I could think of was Mia whilst I was with Olivia.Sitting at my desk at the moment, I couldn't even concentrate.I had a stack of emails to respond to before I took Olivia for a three day honeymoon celebration at Seychelles.No one would ever be able to accuse me of not treating her well, despite my attempts at attaining her father's wealth.The buzzer from the landline jolted me out of my head, and my hand furiously went to the device with an impulsive intent to pick it up, and fling it against the wall.Thankfully, that desire was curtailed in time, enabling me to answer the call.“Mr Luca Barone,” the feminine voice said.I recognized it instantly. This had to be agent Santos.It wasn't surprising she had this number, either. Business numbers were usually more accessible.“Hello agent Santos.”“Should I be flattered that you recognise my voice?”“Not really. What do you want?” I

ROLEPLAYING WITH MR WOLF

MIAI woke up to a buzzing sound, only to discover when I finally shifted into a sitting position, that it was my phone.Stretching my hand out to the bedside table, I picked up the phone, and checked to see who it was.It was a strange number that I didn't recognise.My mind went straight to Mr Nova. He wasn't going to be getting me again.Instantly, I blocked the number, and laid back down.My thoughts ran in circles, because I couldn't go back to sleep.It went, my debt, Pandemonium, and of course, the devil.I couldn't stop sighing, because everything was just so super confusing.Knowing if I continued to lay down, I would just wallow into oblivion, I rolled out of bed, and opted to fully start my day.The time was ten in the morning when I made this decision.By mid-afternoon, I got my first caller of the day.“You really should venture out of your room more. The castle has surprisingly really interesting places,” Mr Wolf said, as he walked in.“Hey.” I waved at him.He smiled, a

OMINOUS TEXTS

MIAI stared at the blank screen after erasing the same paragraph for the third time.Writing used to be so easy for me. When I was still depressed, and contemplating suicide back in Gregory Baxters house, writing was my escape.My nervous system was not as imbalanced anymore, and that didn't make for a good inspiration.I decided to take a break and just aimlessly scroll through my phone.The second I picked up my phone, a strange message popped up on my screen.I found the number unfamiliar, hence my reluctance in opening the text.After a few seconds, I opened it anyway.“I know what you did, and you'll pay.”The phone slipped off my hand, and my heart skipped a beat.My head spun around instantly, as if the person who had sent the ominous message was right there in my room.Still in a state of paranoia, I jumped out of my bed, and went straight for the window where I peeked to see if I would find any strange movements.I shut the window despite not seeing anything, and then brough

IN HER HEAD

Mia changed into regular clothes in her changing room after her shift at Pandemonium, in readiness to retire for the night.She was already on her way out of the room when the door opened, and Peach walked in with someone else.“Lev?” Mia called out his name on seeing him.“He insisted on talking to you, Mia. I couldn't get rid of him, I'm sorry,” Peach quickly explained.“It's fine. I'll take care of it.”Peach left the room, giving them privacy to talk.“What do you want, Lev?” she asked in a monotonous tone.“To apologize for everything I did wrong. I miss you, Mia. I miss us talking, and laughing together. Remember how good it was?”She did remember. She remembered genuinely enjoying his company, until he began to show how much of a judgemental asshole he was."What's the point, Lev? We're clearly two different people. There's no point in forging a relationship filled with judgement and ire. Let it go.”“I can't,” he took a step forward. “I can't let go. I'm crazy about you. I'm i

THERAPEUTIC DISGUISE

MIAMr Peacock came into my room the next morning, and we quickly jumped into discussions about my dress for the event.“I think I have an idea of what kind of dress you need. Since we have a couple of days until the event, I should be able to get some samples for you to try. And if you find one that perhaps needs any adjustments, we'd be able to handle that on time. Is that okay with you?”I hugged the fuck out of Mr Peacock, because he was simply the best.“You're such a doll,” he laughed as he hugged me back.When he left, I picked out my MacBook to try and write something. Only before I could, a beep caught my attention.A message from the anonymous therapist website showed that I had matched with Darien Luxe. Of course it wasn't his real name, but Mr Wolf had told me the name to expect..The victorious smile that formed on my face was immediate and wide.Swiftly, I logged into the website, and went straight to the chat page between myself and Darien.“Your bio caught my attention
