Positive. Shit. All three of the tests Viola had bought were saying the same shit, her fears had been confirmed but strangely enough Rain felt really calm. She had thought she would break down until tears and start screaming hysterically but she didn’t really feel the urge to do so. She walked out of the bathroom, her legs were shaky and her eyes burning with unshed tears. Viola was right in front of her immediately and pulling her into a tight embrace. “They’re all positive, I’m pregnant,” Yes. Saying it out loud just made the reality of her situation hit her. She was carrying Alexander’s child. “It’s okay Rain,” Viola rubbed her back comfortingly, “I will be with you every step of the way, no matter what decision you make,” Rain hugged the woman tighter. She was like a lifeline in that moment. Rain didn’t think she would gain such an amazing friend after everything that had happened to her in Italy but today she was in the embrace of one, one that made her realize that everyt
The knock came again and this time it was louder and much heavier than the last. The door shook and Rain flinched back in fear. “Rain!” Romeo? “It’s me! Open up!” Shit. It was just Romeo, but what happened to Alexander and why wasn’t he here instead? “Hey!” He was panting when she opened the door, covered in sweat and looked completely out of sorts. “We have to go!” He said hurriedly and then grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the cabin and practically dragging her to the mansion. “Wait…wait!” Rain hissed at the strength of his grip on her wrist,, it felt like he was trying to break it in half. “What exactly is going on?” Rain asked as she stood her ground and refused the move. The wind was cold and it blew harshly on her skin, it was deathly calm and silent outside of the cabin almost like all of the gunshots from before were just her imagination. There was no one in sight and even where there were supposed to be guards, there was no one. Something was wrong. And somethin
All hell was about to break loose.No, he had to be calm and level headed or else he would just worsen the situation.“He had a knife to her throat, I couldn’t make any moves without the knife digging deeper into her skin…he wasn’t bluffing…I’ve never seen him that way before,” Aldo sounded so lost and confused, like he didn’t expect shit like this to happen but Alexander expected it, what he didn’t expect was Romeo being the person who would betray all of them.“A knife to her throat?” Alexander gritted his teeth. The thought of Rain going through something as traumatizing as that was something that threatened to push him off the fucking edge.He was at his limit and he knew that at any given moment, he was going to go insane.“I didn’t know there was someone in the SUV, I would’ve stopped him first before Romeo got there but, I managed to put a tracker on them…issue is—”“It might be a trap,” Enzo said. The man’s eyes were bloodshot and his grip on his gun was so tight that
Darkness. It consumed her and it was all she could think about. The darkness, how thick it was, how it made her want to scream so loud that her lungs would hurt. The pain was next, it came like a freight train to the skull, fast, sudden and unexpected. It made her moan and groan, her legs shook—wait… no they didn’t. She was laying down on her back and her head was on the softest of pillows. Roses. They came next. The scent of so many roses that it almost made her eyes water…her closed eyes. Rain opened them and then let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. It wasn’t too bright but the curtains were drawn, almost like the sun was just setting and the moon was getting ready to rise. Memories of what happened before the darkness consumed her flitted through her mind. She had been taken from the Cabin by Romeo to Cullen. He had done to her what he used to do in the past and then left her unattended because he thought she would be in too much pain to even stand, after he had
She felt the cold nuzzle of the gun against her forehead, she closed her eyes tightly and prepared for the worst. This was definitely not how she expected her second day in a foreign country to turn out. "One wrong move..." She felt his hot breath on her face, his baritone voice sent shivers down her spine. She didn't want to open her eyes because she couldn't meet his gaze again. "...and I'll blow up that pretty face of yours." Then the nuzzle went lower and lower till it was pressed against her neck and something warm hovered over her lips. "We wouldn't want that now, would we?" She blew out a shaky breath and opened her eyes to look at the man who towered over her small frame. Menacing eyes met hers and his thumb rested on her lips. Dark brown eyes stared back at her. "What's your answer going to be?" She couldn't stand on her own two feet, how was she to reply? " Yes... I'll do it!" As she fought back tears, she couldn't help but think about all that led her up to this
The receptionist kept staring, it took him a while to figure out that he was still staring. His eyes widened and he cleared his throat awkwardly. “W…what can I help you with, Miss?” He said, his voice sounded gravely, like he wasn’t used to speaking or something like that.Rain was drenched from head to toe, she was beginning to feel the cold despite how much warmer the reception was. It was beginning to affect her mood as well but she tried her best to make sure it didn’t, she did not want to be rude to the young receptionist she had only just met. He looked to be at least twenty years old or maybe younger so it was safe to say that she was slightly older than him.“House number 108,” the polite smile still on her lips, “I need the directions to 108 please”The young man looked momentarily dazed and his gaze was directed at her lips rather than her eyes, she was used to such stares. Her mother had always told her that she had unique features, the type that would captivate any ma
“If I’m barking up the wrong tree then why do you look so fucking nervous?” Nicholas looked up at the man that had a menacing grin and towered over him like a giant, Nicholas was on his knees but his gaze was firm as he looked at the man. He was bald, he had dark green eyes that looked like being angry was it’s natural shape, he had a small scar running down from his top to bottom lip, his fists were clenched tightly and he looked like he could explode from anger at any given moment. “I didn’t steal anything from you, we’re business partners, I benefit from you just as much as you do from me so tell me Vlad, why in the world would I steal from you when I know the dangers that come with it?"Vlad’s anger seemed to get worse the more Nicholas spoke. Rain stood by the bedroom door, the empty gun clutched tightly in her fists that were beginning to shake out of fear for her brother’s life. Nicholas’ brown curls stick to face due to the sweat he was drenched in, his red and widened in
First thing she could register in her mind was the dull ache at the back of her head that was slowly getting worse the more she regained her consciousness. Then, there was the scent of roses in the air, the scent was so strong that it felt like she was sitting in a field where roses grew and she was trapped there. Everything was still dark and Rain couldn’t move her body but she could feel the pain and she could feel the hotness on her skin. Was she being taken to an oven? Why was it so hot? As her mind wandered through the endless possibilities of where exactly she was and why she felt the way she did, the memories of what happened before she passed out came rushing back to her and her eyes snapped open. “F*ck!” she exclaimed. It was so bright! She couldn’t see anything! She closed her eyes again and raised her hands up so she could run her eyes that were suddenly in pain from the exposure to light. Her hands wouldn’t budge, they were right behind her and they wouldn’t move,
