Luca's POVMy eyes opened to the lights in my room flickering, I sat up and continued staring at it. “Maybe she really needs to call the electrician...”I stepped into the shower next, the water ran down my body. Memories of what happened the previous night flowed in. I was still struggling to comprehend what I got myself into.After bathing, I immediately grabbed my phone and stepped out of the room. I stared around, Lyra was probably still asleep. There was no point in disturbing her, I just left.I drove to a cafe and grabbed a cup of coffee before heading for college.Things were going on as usual on campus as I drove in. I had texted Jake, my closest friend before arriving. He was waiting for me at the usually spot when I arrived. I honked at him before rolling down, “Hop in you donkey!”He saw me and quickly jumped in. We drove off and headed for our dorm. “What the hell happened yesterday, fool. I was trying to call but it never went through.” Jake stated.“ Yesterday...maybe I

Lyra's POV“Mother!” Eleanor yelled as her eyes met mine. I smiled weakly as she hugged me. I stood on the doorstep for a while before shutting the door and walked inside, holding her.My mother was in the kitchen, I could hear her making something. “Lyra, you have finally returned. How was your- oh, why do you look so tired?” she asked as I walked into the kitchen.I rested my back on the wall, “My boss was one of the worst people I've met in my life. It's just my first day and he was desperately trying to find flaws in me.”She chuckled and continued cooking, allowing me to rant all I want.“The place was filled with so many weirdos. And just when I thought my day couldn't get worse, I managed to get on the nerves of the only person who spoke normally to me!”“Did you? You're so clumsy.” She said and chuckled.I folded my arms. For some weird reason, she was not taking me serious at all.I sighed and walked to the dinning room, Eleanor rushed to me and started ranting about how her

Lyra's POVI continued staring at the letter, still struggling to comprehend what I was staring at. Luca grabbed it from me and stared at it frantically, “It really is my father, what the hell does he want?”My mind was as throbbing. Not because of who it was, but seeing how far the Rourke family will go to get what they want.I walked back to the chair and took my seat. “He wants to see me? This must have something to do with your brother, would he ask your father for help?” I eagerly asked Luca.“No, no. There is no way that is the case. If anything, Cassian would not want my father knowing about anything going on. But one thing I know for certain is that my father already knows something is going on.” Luca stated.The muscles in my body went numb, things had gone from bad to worse in such a short time. What was I going to do now that the worst person possible is involved.Theron and I were never the closest, he was a mysterious man and according to many, a very dangerous person to

Lyra's POV“About...your sister. I am sorry for what I said yesterday.” I blurted. Kira squinted her eyes, she looked so confused. “Why are you apologizing out of nowhere? You're odd today suddenly, what more should I expect?”“Wait, what? I called your sister weird and your expression changed. I figured you'd be pissed at such comment.” I stated.She gasped and laughed suddenly, “That is what you're apologizing for? Why would I be pissed that you said some words about my sister? Oh,look at her. That isn't weird to you?”Celine appeared from the backroom, wearing a dark theme outfit under her work clothes. Her lips were painted dark and her makeup was quite heavy.I nodded slightly, “I guess it is... it's already normal to you isn't it?” I asked.“Of course! She is my sister to begin with isn't she?”It finally made sense now. I had misunderstood her reaction for anger, perhaps she was just thinking of something else.This was relieving, I hadn't made a new enemy like I thought. I h

Lyra's POVI was led into the only house in sight, there was nothing but a vast land ahead and behind us. I had no idea where in the world I was.“This way.” I was led into the house, the door opened and we walked in.There was a huge living room with what looked like extremely expensive interior designs. Surely this belonged to Theron, he is well known for extravagant things like this.A farm looks like what a lot of people would consider their dream-home.At the end of the room sat Theron himself alone. He was on his phone until he noticed our presence. Slowly, he dropped the phone and gazed at me for a while.“Sit.” He ordered, his voice carrying so much authority, I didn't need to hear it twice before quickly sitting down.My fingers trembled as I sat there, waiting for what he'd say. I avoided eye contact with him. From the very beginning, I have hated staring into his eyes.Everytime our eyes met, it looked like he'd ordered I get killed immediately. I always wondered how such a
