VENOM IN A DRESS

Elon's POV I didn't hear a knock, the door just flung open and someone walked in. I can't tell if there was actually a real knock, because I was occupied with many things; especially after Dr Kieran Vale's visit. It wasn't a polite door opening. I was still sitting when the door slammed very hard, enough to throw me off my bed. It was more like someone from the other end, lacked patience, or doesn't have any business with boundaries. I didn't even need to turn to know the little witch. It was Laila Faustus. "You've really got a lot of nerve." That was her speaking, her voice vibrating without control, but I said nothing. I could tell how furious she was with the way she screamed her lungs out. I only leaned back, then folded my arms, as I watched the drama she had for me unfold. I stayed so calm that no one could even suspect what I just passed not long ago. "Good afternoon to you too, Laila," I said instead. That kind of earned me a look, that if it was possible, it could kill

BITTER BARGAIN

Laila's POV "... horny bee," I heard her call me. How can she be that that mean? I couldn't stand here and take insults any longer, so I made my way to the hallway. It was blurry at first, I wasn't even concentrating on where I was going at first. That tiny girl. The way she stood very close to Fort. The way he even indulged her. The way both of them were vulnerable with each other. That wasn't ordinary. The more I remembered what I saw, the more furious I got. No.No. No. No.This isn't happening before me. Not after everything I sacrificed to be here. I tried pushing the thought away, but it could still be felt from the way I walked, striking the floor mercilessly. Dimitri.That guy. Of course, he's the cause of all this. I blame him, for being careless, and not keeping to his side of the bargain. He was supposed to keep this in line, running smoothly so that I won't be stressed out, but he did absolutely nothing. What else is his job as Fort's first hand man, if not to keep hi

DIMITRI'S CALMNESS

Laila's POV "Everything changed the moment you left," he tried correcting. But I was having it. He seemed to have alot to say, but chose to keep quiet. I preferred it when he talked, than when he's this calm, and not saying much. "No." I tried challenging him, but my voice lacked conviction even in my own ears. "It didn't."Dimitri watched me, not for seconds, but minutes, a very long time without saying anything."You truly want him back?" He asked, his voice too calm for the Dimitri that I know. It was as if he was finally given up on something. But I still answered him, because I was ready to know where all of this would lead to. "Yes."We stayed silent again, and I was getting worked up with everything. "Why?" I almost laughed, but I held myself. "Why?" I repeated. "Obviously, because he's mine alone.""That's not an answer. I need your reasons.""It's the only one you need to work with."I stared at me, analysing me like one trying to peel off diets off a fruit. Well, I didn

FAULT LINES

Fort's POV I could tell when something is off. I started noticing it little by little, but paid blind eyes to it. It wasn't loud, not obvious for anyone in the house to quickly pick on. But somehow, I saw it. Dimitri isn't the kind that lingers on a particular time, as he considers it a waste of his time. He doesn't have time to waste on unnecessary conversations, didn't spare time to entertain distractions. My eyes has been following him for some time now. From where he was standing almost leaning on the wall, his arms crossed, posture interesting, but his attention was only fixed on Laila. She was the one talking, of course, she has always talked. She stood like something animated, now irritated by what she was describing to him. I couldn't hear anything they were saying, by with the expression on her face, I could easily relate. And to my shock, Dimitri if all people was listening to her. He did not dismiss her, neither did he shit her down. He was so engrossed listening, that

COLLISION

Dimitri's POV "You're obviously lying, but won't admit it.""I'm not lying.""Say it again before me." I said,cas I was already moving slowly toward, watching and waiting for the moment she would slip. But you know what, Laila didn't even flinch. "If I finally decides to say it as many as ten times, is it then that it will enter that thick skull of yours?"she snapped, with her arms folded, her chest heaving up and down. "Or you will prefer it written in blood?" I robbed my jaw, feeling the tension she was creating. "Try me and see first "She exhaled sharply, then started pacing around for some seconds, before she finally turned to face me, and I could see the fire in her eyes. It was reckless, very dramatic, and completely unhinged, the kind that only leaves people underestimating her. "Fine," she said. "It seems you want to hear the truth so badly?""I always do, and you're aware of that."She curved her lips into a sly smile. "My partner....the very one we all know that I le

THE KISS

Dimitri's POV She stood there, staring at me and saying nothing. For the first time since I met Laila, she didn't know what to say. She was speechless. Laila that never lacked words to say could not utter a single thing. "It wasn't just about Lina as I made everyone believe," she admitted sincerely. "It was all about...not truly knowing where I stood at that time.""With Fort, right?" I asked.She nodded once, but it wasn't convincing to me. I knew there was more to that. "And what about now that you came back?" She parted her lips to talk, then closed it right back without saying anything. "I still haven't figured it out." I knew it. She was supposed to be all over Fort, but she chose to be following me around like I'm holding her kidney. It was very raw, honest, and ugly at the same time. "You came back because you wanted to fix that with him, right?' I asked, just to be sure. "I came back, this time to take what belongs to me," she said, a d it was beginning to get clearer

BREAKING

Fort's POV The door finally closed, but with a quiet click. Everything around me felt too quiet for my liking. But one funny thing; my head was loud, too loud for the loud it's carrying. The more I tried to push that scene aside, the more it appeared before me. I couldn't unsee it, because I saw everything. Dimitri and Laila were kissing intensely, and passionately, the best I have seen Laila at.They were no more arguing like before, no trading of insults, and definitely, none of them tried tearing each other down like before. Everything felt real, like they had been hiding this for so long. It was like everything they were doing, all the barter, was their way of trying to hide whatever they had going on. I dragged my hands forcefully down my face, as I exhaled slowly, doing everything possible to shake it off. I wanted it not to matter, but it refused to go. Dimitri is an adult, and could do whatever the hell he deemed fit with Laila. They were both liabilities, but in their own

BREAKFAST TENSION

Fort's POV Morning was supposed to be quiet, refreshing, and predictable. But this particular morning? It was nothing of those. The moment I left my room, and entered the dinning area, I knew there would be chaos. Though it wasn't that obvious, but I can still feel it. It was as if something had happened, and no one was willing to talk about it. Dimitri was the first to come out, and he was already seated before I arrived. His posture was rigid, and a cup of coffee in his hand, but I noticed he hadn't taken even a sip from it. If I'm not mistaken, I will say he was demanding for an answer from it, with the way he was staring at it. The next to arrive was Laila, who quietly sat across him, also still, and too composed for the kind of person she is. That alone raised my suspicion higher. "Elon," I finally decided to initiate a conversation, looking away from the two chaos seating with us at the dining. Elon was standing more like he was lost on where to sit. But when I called his a

UNDER THE TABLE

Fort's POV Everywhere soon returned to silence just the way it was before intervened, but my eyes never left Dimitri."You're staring again." Dimitri said. I didn't look up to know he was talking to me. "Am I?" I said calmly. "Yes," Laila added, as she dragged her spoon in a very lazy way through the dessert. "It's quite unsettling." That made me glance up, to know what they were actually talking about. To be honest, this has to be the longest I stayed in a dining table, especially for breakfast. "Then, you shouldn't give me something to stare at in the first place "Laila scoffed. She was back at it again, at her normal self, and it's warming to watch. "Please. I'm not the one performing for you.""No," Dimitri muttered, jumping in without invitation, "you're already doing wores than that."Her eyes flickered to his direction, bringing back their normal barter back, and I knod if like it. "Excuse me?""It's nothing," he replied, as he went ahead to take another bite, his way of a

ABOUT TO CUM

Fort's POV "Go on, Elon."I watched him find it hard to even swallow his own saliva. "I'm okay, no...need...to...worry."But Dimitri wasn't one to buy such story. "You're obviously sweating, even with the Ac on."I'm only warm, nothing...much." Elon countered quickly. "That's completely different from what I'm saying," Dimitri replied flatly. I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding, just for me not to burt into laugh. I was amused at how my touch could make him lose his mind, and turn him into a stammerer. "Maybe he's just nervous, something like that," I said. "Nervous about what exactly?" Laila asked, still wanting him to talk. That's a good question, and I would want to hear him talk, say something. I watched him struggle like a speech impaired person. He couldn't find the right answer to give them, couldn't give them another excuse for his sudden lose in concentration, and sweating all around. The tension continued building up. He tried to stay focused, to
