"Cordelia, you're being unreasonable. Of course, I'll want to listen to my mother, to give her the benefit of the doubt. I know you're prone to be reactive and passionate and..." "That doesn't mean I'm wrong," I fling my arms in the air, pushing his hands off me with the force of my anger. "I get to have feelings, Atlas. I also get to choose who I trust and I do not trust that woman. Don't you think it's a bit TOO convenient that she was waiting on that island for us? If she's been there all this time, why didn't she go home to you and Clark?" "She needs my trust now," Atlas excuses his behavior, trying to make himself sound generous. "I'm sure that if she could come home to us she would hav

Atlas chuckled, "So. I can ask anything I want." Catherine creased her forehead, looking at his eyes murderously. Atlas smiled and it immediately faded as he looked at her energetic eyes. Her eyes are always energetic. But it's taking away my energies from me. I always feel nervous and helpless in front of her. Atlas's gaze made Catherine uneasy, she quickly pulled away saying, "Luck gives you the chance." Atlas sighed, "I know. I was almost lost in your...." He stopped as he looked at her eyes. Catherine asked with a raucous voice, "What?" Atlas shook his head, "You almost lost me." Suzy clapped happily, saying happily, "See..."

Atlas grinned to himself, shook his head to get rid of the thoughts and entered the elevator. The moment Atlas left the building, he already forgot the existence of that woman. To him, she's just one of his many one night stands. She won't be the last and certainly, the odds of them meeting again is fairly low. Atlas just came here for a business meeting. Tomorrow, he's back in his country and probably won't set foot here again. *** Cassandra squirmed in her seat, if she could melt the seat in front of her with her glares, she probably already destroyed it. Once she arrives at the godforsaken place, she will wreak havoc on whoever bought her the ticket.

Nicolais replied coolly, in a manner completely unlike Atlas’—as if he were frightened out of his wits but unwilling to show it. “Is that so?” Atlas set the small figurine back on the desk. “That’s not what they told me.” He’s playing with you, Nicolais. Atlas knew everything. He had surely already gathered all the information he needed—this was merely about pushing Nicolais onto thin ice. What did he gain from it? I couldn’t understand why Nicolais would send soldiers so far south in the first place. Didn’t he know Atlas would find them? Nicolais himself had told me how magically superior Atlas was—especially when it came to invading other people’s minds.

I was sitting in silk sheets eating while Marcus was rotting and Theo was losing his mind in a hotel room. My phone buzzed on the mattress. I didn't have to look to know it was Theo. I didn't touch it. "I have to travel this morning," Atlas said, checking his watch. "Important work, even for a Saturday. I’ll be back before you know it." He leaned in close, his shadow falling over me. He didn't go for my mouth. He whispered right against my ear, his breath hot enough to make my skin crawl in the best way. "Stay home and rest. I want you recovered by the time I get back." He nipped my ear hard. "Because the second I walk through that door, I’m going to unravel you all over again."

And since the deal had actually been pitched to their company before others got wind of it, I had to jump into it knowing how beneficial it would be for Vallore but mostly to show Atlas I was really back for him. Settling on the swirling chair, the moment I raised my head, the air shifted and my eyes met with Atlas's sharp ice blue eyes. His eyes locked into mine, and for a second, I saw raw shock flicker across his face before he masked it with that same arrogant confidence and nonchalance I despised. He must think we weren't a competition to them. The fact that he was looking down on us just annoyed me. "Heaven," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Atlas doesn't care whether I see anyone or not, so I can come here as I like, but don't worry no one would suspect I'm coming here, just stop frolicking with these scumbags of ladies I said to him . "the ball is in your court, if you want to stop frolicking with them , you'll have to come back home”, he said . " I can't banter words with you”, I'm leaving, I said . I left the house and raced back as far as my legs could carry me. I didn't want Atlas noticing I was gone. I met Heyley in the sitting room. I tried to ignore her but I was unable to , the sight of her just bit my skin .

Atlas had been lying on the beach, asleep on the blanket they had laid out. "You're a nice guy, Atlas, but we're both broke, working hard to meet our personal needs. You're just a driver and an errand boy, while I want to become wealthy. I know that, just like you, I'm not ready to commit to love yet. I'll prioritize myself," Heather said as she left Atlas. She left him there, him who is pretending to be asleep, with the empty bottles of alcohol beside him. He heard everything. Crystal clear. If they watched the sunset yesterday, today they were awakened by the bright sunrise. Atlas rose immediately as he felt the gentle caress of the ocean waves kissing his feet. He looked around for Heathe

TBC AUTHOR’S NOTE: so I guess Anais has fallen in love and Atlas didn’t bother to fall too… . Please leave gems or just one gem, if possible thank you <3

But, a whole collection of a slave would be in fact more than abnormal. "Nyx, I'm serious." She whined. "No, you're not." I argued, shaking my head. "But, I am." She said, her tone firm and serious. "Really?" I teased, raising my brows. "Seriously, only your paintings are in the drawers and table of his usual desk." She spilled, making my heart take a flip. "I want to try reading this short story." Aurora said, showing me a little story book as she sat beside me. With nothing left to do, out of curiosity to see more of what Atlas has created I flipped through the pages of his journal, my excitement was short lived as I stumbled upon a shocking revelation.
