[Tanya]I stared at the suitcase blankly and made a low buzzing sound."Staying in this hotel with him is...." I lowered my voice to a sharp whisper. "It's crazy, Lyra." I shook my head. "I don't know what to do..." I said, now using a slow, panicked tone, my phone held tightly next to my ear. "What do you mean you don't know what to do??!" An energetic voice shouted over the phone, I had to pull it away from my ear for a few seconds. "Well, Lyra, I think you should listen carefully." I said. "I am going to be sharing a room with my boss slash stepbrother slash the guy I find really, really, really...." I paused and exhaled a breath. "I find him handsome, he is insanely attractive and uh...." I cleared my throat. "Hot. I find him hot" I added the last part quickly. "And boy, he is so pissed right now."I looked up, watching Kieran's hard back figure, observing how he took each confident, haughty step at a slow, tight pace while talking to someone on the phone too. I had no idea wh

[Kieran]Last night, I had been in misery, bringing out a side of me that was difficult to handle and accept. All through the melancholy, Tanya had been patient with me. She took in all my complaints, comforted me, and looked at me with affection, her tender fingers running through my hair, scratching and stroking to melt down my exasperation till I slept off. Her soft voice kept assuring me that everything was gonna be okay. She whispered softly, letting me hold her like I wasn't the same Kieran she had looked dead in the eye back in high school and spat: 'I hate you.'Last night was something I can't explain. I had felt the warmth from her touch going straight to my cold heart. It was intense, and it was very strange. "How long are you gonna keep staring at yourself in the mirror?"I turned around and saw her, already seated on the bed and my jaw dropped instantly. She. Is. Beautiful.I took in her morning look boldly. She was natural, clean and fucking beautiful. Her long light

[Kieran]We were all now in the living room, all standing with the tension high as fuck. "I kissed Tanya." I said with a calm voice and a composed expression, but internally, I wasn't relaxed. Everything was in disorder. "Well, we saw that" My dad said, gesturing a hand to Tanya and me. His expression was quiet, furious and confused at the same time. "I thought you guys hated each other."I rubbed the back of my neck. "It's complicated.""Obviously." Clara remarked for the first time, eyeing her daughter who stared at everyone but Clara. "So you're doing this again." Sheila accused, facing me angrily.My dad ran his glance from Sheila to me. "What is she talking about?" He pointed to her side. My muscles went rigid. "Nothing" I rumbled. "Well it's not nothing!" Sheila snapped. "I'm talking about how it's her again!" She pointed angrily at Tanya. "Don't do that" I warned tightly. "Of course! It's Tanya fucking George again!" She snapped. "Shut the fuck up, Sheila!" I growled.

[Tanya]There were some people who made you feel comfortable and protected. They'd treat you nice but at the same time, you feel like they'd get your kidney and sell it at a cheap price if given the chance. That was how I felt with John Smith. His son, Kieran Smith, had made me cry many times, and yet I didn't feel that way with him. "What are you thinking about?" John suddenly asked."How I've not trusted you all this whole time." I blurted out. "I know" he simply said.Wait, he knew?"How long have you known?" I asked. "Since the day I met you" he replied. "Do you trust me?""Tanya, let's go straight to the topic now, shall we?"Okay, I guess that's a no. "We both know you're here to talk about Kieran."I went mute for one second....two seconds....three...."Yes" I couldn't deny it. "I did some deep thinking and realized that for me to understand what to do about this whole situation, I need to speak with you."John didn't say a word. He bowed his head slightly and I was abou

[Tanya]"Kiss me."Kieran smirked at me, drawing me closer until his mouth was just below my ear. "Gladly, my lady." His grip on my waist hardened, bringing a passionate spark between us, then he lowered his head for a french kiss, so deep and breathless, filled with pure fervor. ****[Tanya]A wide smile spread across my face as I heard the tall priest say:"You may now kiss the bride"People clapped loudly and screamed happily at the top of their lungs, including me. Yep, that's right.... including me. I wasn't the one getting married. It was my mum. Shawn had proposed to her about four months ago during dinner at his place, and today, they had their I do's. It was so emotional. I smiled wider as she kissed the love of her life. "Eeew" Lyra and I chorused, feigning irritation as we watched them kiss passionately. "We are finally real sisters!" Lyra said after the kiss and hugged me. I hugged her back, beaming. I looked to my side and saw the love of my own life, standing so
