I didn’t want to leave even the smallest trace of evidence behind. Just as I finished, Tristan appeared in the doorway.

Oscar raised an eyebrow at me in hope that I would repeat myself but like a timid little girl in the presence of this billionaire, I choked on my own words. Another thing I have to think about is this party we are going to. I closed a book about my life and I threw it away. The characters in the book -Courtney Hale, Christopher St Patrick, Francis Harrington, Henrik Sinclair, Giovanni Balotelli, Sonia Balotelli and Nathan Bale- went with that book.

He scratched his eyebrows and frowned, "You really have an attitude, baby. What do I need to do in order to get rid of your annoyance with me? Hmm?" "You want me to get rid of this annoyed feelings for you, huh?" She asks. He eagerly nodded. "Well, then. You just need to do one thing..." "Don't come near me. Just... stay where you are right now. Stay Away, Uno." ٥٠一٠一٠٥

This story always engulfs me and whisks me away to wonderland. Ragged footsteps and the sound of sloshing liquid pulls me out of the borrowed world. I look up to see a rough around the edges Aidan Gabriels. I also notice the liquid gold in his bottle. He must be out here to do the same thing I'm doing - Escape the world.

Carlos asked. “The next day, we finally left the island. The boat carried most of the prisoners and my men. I took the chopper with two of my officers and Guillaume Bonnet." A groan left Bernard's lips when he disclosed, "However, a minute into the air, Guillaume managed to set himself free from his cuffs. I don’t know how he did it, but it happened.” "In the chopper, there was a struggle. Guillaume wound up jumping from the helicopter, and he disappeared into the water.”

Sharper. She pulled away fast. “There. Done. Good enough?” “For now.” He rose, towering over her again. “They'll come back tonight, “he said shoving the thoughts of tangling with her off his mind. “The rogues?” “Yes.” “Why? You chased them off.” “You misunderstand. His voice dropped into something darker. "They weren't here for me." Evelyn blinked. "But I'm nobody. I don't even live here." "You crossed into their territory. Alone. Injured. Weak. On the run." He stopped. "Wearing white. They see that as blood. Or prey.

Outside the window, the familiar neon lights of the city glowed quietly. Downstairs, the sound of traffic drifted in steady waves.
