Velvet X Orchid นิยาย & เรื่องราว

That bastard just had to show up and ruin everything. And the worst part? Vanessa let him. I exhaled sharply and tossed the rest of my whiskey back, savoring the burn in my throat. The dark-lit VIP lounge of the Velvet Orchid pulsed with soft red and gold lights, the air thick with perfume and smoke. A private haven away from the world—exactly what I needed. I leaned back into the plush leather seat as a curvy brunette moved towards me, her body moving in rhythm with the sultry jazz playing in the background. Her silk robe barely clung to her shoulders, revealing the delicate curves underneath.

I asked to be sure I was hearing correctly. She was even on the plane !!!!!! How didn't I notice her… Now I'm convinced that velvet had invisibility powers “Yes and we have been married for five years now!” Velvet added. Honestly she needed to have her medal because her masking was top notch. And now to the main thing… How did xandros know Liam and most importantly how did he know about the incident. At this point I was also convinced that he knew a lot of things already. I just kept mute while Raph was just confused..

The first person I saw was my mother, she was getting younger by the day but I knew that she was an old hag who had to rely on ancient spells and potions to look exactly the way she did. She had a huge smile on her face and I knew that they must have been waiting for me for a while. I brought out the Nectar, a rare ingredient needed for most of our spells. This could only be found in Leo's kingdom. It was what had forged the bedrock of our relationship in the first place. "Welcome home my daughter," she said, her hands stretched out to envelope me in a hug. She had that weird smell to her, not like it was bad but it was just unsettling and unnerving.

The omega. Orchid.

Finally, they arrived at their floor and the doors opened. They walked the short corridor to their respective doors. Vespera had reached her door but then she stopped and turned. Ezekiel had his key card out but noticing that the figure wasn't moving, he looked at her. "Is everything alright?" were his first words to her for the evening. Vespera smiled and walked back to meet him. "Yes, everything is alright. There is an industry event happening on Friday." She informed him. "The Vine Entertainment showcase. I have two seats."

Then I walked out. As soon as I stepped into the hallway, my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and saw that it was a call from my assistant, Pedro. Accepting the call, I pressed the phone to my ear and asked. “Yeah?” “Sir,” Pedro said breathlessly. “It’s about the poison the man that had snuck into our laboratory ingested. I don’t know how, but the plant used in making that poison is Teal Orchid, the plant we’re still researching. The same one that only grows in that deserted region no mammal, shifter, or human can survive.”

Cold Ass better! I fastly unplug the tub and rinse my body with clean water, then jump out of the bath and wrap myself in a towel. Everything happens in the span of a minute and I almost trip over Nancy, knocking myself out. "Jesus, Veronika! What got over you?!" "I'll tell you later!" I shout at her, already outside of the bathroom and running to my room. So there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, after all. ***

‘Flora of the night and mists, Of flaring teal cyan. Thy petals that cast rhapsody, Of ocean peace and silence.’ I dallied the azure orchid glowing at my fingers. The servants may have forgotten to remove these flowers at bloom. Perhaps, every room here always has a space occupied for rare flowers and vines that are only native to this territory, lucky for me to take a glance at this mystic creature. Azure orchids’ buds detonate toxic pollens that can cause temporary loss of consciousness. Maybe this was here for a reason then.

Curvy Fate in Velvet Chains Chapter 9: The Arrangement The safe house living room glowed with the soft flicker of candlelight. Rain still tapped against the windows in a steady rhythm that matched the uneasy beat of my heart. The brothers sat scattered around the room but the air felt heavier than before. Leo’s revelation hung between us like smoke. He had refused to say another word about his wife. His face had gone hard and closed. Then he stood up abruptly and slammed the door behind him as he left the room.

She told Jasmine to help me change and muttered something about bad luck. The pine-wood table in the side hall gleamed coldly. Velda's purple-red satin skirt brushed the floor. Under her black crane cloak, her partially shifted wrist revealed an unhealed claw mark, glowing with silver-blue blood. The red coral earrings on her ears, carved with blood-moon totems, emitted a sulfurous pheromone with her emotional fluctuations. I was still in my semi-old uniform but had thrown on a fox-fur cloak. It was getting cold. It looked like snow was coming.
