Novel Patrick Kellan Black House Novels & Stories

The polar night of Iceland was an eternal shroud, a heavy, velvet curtain of absolute black that refused to be lifted. Outside, the arctic winds howled across the volcanic wasteland, but inside the subterranean medical center, the world was reduced to a suffocating, sterile white. The fluorescent lights overhead hummed with a deathly, clinical persistence, reflecting off the glass of the decontamination pods like shards of frozen bone.

Not amazing, but with room and board. "Your first week will be training," Patricia continued. "I'll show you Mr. Blackwell's preferences, the cleaning protocols, where everything is kept. He's very particular about certain things." "Like what?" "His study is private. You'll clean it, but you don't touch his desk, his papers, or anything on his bookshelves. The library is similar,clean, but doesn't reorganize. He has a system." Patricia consulted her clipboard. "He takes coffee at six AM, black, no sugar. He doesn't eat breakfast. Lunch is usually in his office, something light. Dinner at seven PM, in the dining room when he's alone, in his study when he's working."

"Holy shit..." The video hadn't even finished playing before gasps and exclamations rippled through the room. "This is beyond messed up..." "I thought Isla was just so pissed she used AI to fake it—but it's actually real..." "Mr. Gabelman and his sister-in-law broke into Isla's house to have an affair... Madison even went through all of Isla's belongings and ruined her stuff..." "Isla's got some serious patience... if that were me, I'd have lost it yesterday..."

Luke stares at the little house longingly. “Want to make me scream again?” I nudge him playfully, he laughs. “As much as I want to, I respect Esther far too much to make her daughter scream within hearing distance.” I smile, “The guest house is soundproof.” JJ opens the door for us, “Thanks JJ.” “Your welcome Miss Blackwood.” I roll my eyes, “It’s Lily, please call me Lily.” JJ gives me a curt nod and I know he will continue to call Miss Blackwood. I keep walking when I notice Luke isn’t with me.

My plan was to explore the house and find out every single possible escape route, while planning my escape. Why the hell does Mr. Dark and Dangerous have to be Mr. Smarty Pants as well? He leaves without a word, closing the door gently behind him. Twenty minutes later, the guard comes in with an electronic Kindle, drops it on the bed and leaves without uttering a single word. Strange. Glad to finally be able to do something, I pick up the Kindle and open up the first book. It's about a knight who eventually falls in love with a common girl. Classic.

He can't find me. I have to run away, somewhere, anywhere. He just can't find me. He may already know where I am for all I know. I walked right into a hard wall, stumbling back I lost my balance. I waited for my body to come in contact with the ground but it never came. I opened my tightly shut eyes, all the breath was knocked out of my lungs as I stared into a mesmerizing pair of green eyes. "Mr Black?" His face was barely an inch away from mine, his breath fanned against my face.

However, Killian continued to mock and insult her, his eyes devoid of any remorse. Yifa shut her eyes tightly, placing a hand over her chest in an attempt to still the rapid thumping of her heart. It was merely a dream, an illusion she needed to dismiss. Once she regained her composure, she cautiously surveyed her surroundings. The room enveloping her was adorned in a deep shade of navy blue, housing an expansive king-sized bed. It bore a striking resemblance to Killian 's quarters, complete with a walk-in closet, a spacious bathroom, and a bookshelf crammed with literature and trinkets.

You got nothing to worry about. Umm Jace....." "What is it love!" She close her eyes and tried to breath to relax for a second. "Who is Mrs. Natalia Keller?" Jace seemed to get panic suddenly. "Where did you hear that name? Did she talk to you? What did she said?" "No, I didn't see her or meet her!
