Hidden Love Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

“Why am I here? What do you want from me? I was with someone in the bar. Is he here too? Are you holding him too? I’m losing circulation in my hands.” Heloise had all she could do to refrain from giggling with delight over her former lover’s distress. It gave her intense satisfaction to see him suffer, even if it wasn’t the type of suffering she felt he should be experiencing.

Eliora said to me, "Why do you do that? Why do you speak of him as if he put the stars in the sky when he did nothing but break you so god damn much that the cracks in your heart were practically visible through your eyes."

“You took two arrows for him, Chloe. Don’t pull that crap with me. I know what you’re doing, trying to get back to him. But Liam can wait. He’ll have to wait.” Chloe’s tears streamed down her face, her hand trembling as she reached for him. Hunter closed his eyes, exhaling hard, before stepping closer.
