FabianThe moment she questioned my authority, it only made me want to have her more. She was standing in my bedroom, my most secret chamber, a few steps away from me, and yet, there was this hesitation I couldn't shake off. A few months ago, if she had walked past me, I wouldn't have felt the urge to know her. After that incident, everything became clearer, and my need for her became so obvious. I loved the chase, the feel, and the impact it had on my dominance. There was nothing like it; it was surreal.I could just make her compliant and have her either way, but I wanted to watch her break until she begged for me to put her back together. I wanted to see just how well she could push me and how well I could crave her, for just being who she was. Meredith was my drive at this point; there was no telling what this woman would do to me. I couldn't even describe it."I wasn't asking, love. Come have a bath with me.""I said no. I know you heard me the first time. She folded her hands,
Meredith."Cheap." That word kept echoing inside my head as I stood outside the door of his room with tears in my eyes. I didn't know why he had to be nice one minute and so cruel the next.Even if we had our little arguments, we were on good terms until he decided to make outrageous demands. As a lady, there was only so much I could do because everything was hell-bent on my loyalty to him. Even though I knew that it was not true, I was more scared of how it was going to backfire. I wouldn't downgrade myself just to please him and obey his every command.I had a very good amount of self-respect, but he seemed to have ignored that. As I stood outside his door for a while, I heard loud moans and groans."Were they having sex?" I asked myself over and over again. That was most likely because the maid who had walked in had not been out since. The door was left ajar. I tried to stop myself, but my curiosity and anger only increased as time flew by. I opened the door a little as I saw Fabi
Fabian Mariana was the least of my problems. Every time I tried to tell her, she didn't seem to take a hint. I had Meredith to deal with; I didn't know how hard it was to just call when you were arriving at my house. It was a simple courtesy that she had refused to uphold.Just because we were engaged, she seemed to have a claimed right, which was nothing but delusions in my eyes."Why should I call? So you can have the time to bring in whores like this into the house?"I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to make sense of the entitlement she was exhibiting right before my eyes. I turned to Meredith, who was stunned, and tried to loosen the grip I had on her. I held her tight, close to me, staring at Mariana. "You talk like this is your house.""It is ours. We are going to be married soon, and it is only proper that it be in our house. You have to mind who you bring into this house." I scoffed, laughing at the delusion she had managed to create for herself."Now, let me get it straight.
MeredithI watched them take Mariana away like she was a stray dog who wandered into the wrong house. All the drama I had tried to avoid since I arrived in Italy was served before me on a platter of gold. I wished I could tell her that I had nothing to do with her man. Yes, Fabian might be hell-bent on trying to make me feel something for him, but I was controlling myself with the last emotion I had left to give.I wanted her to know how annoying her man was, but I had no choice but to stick with him because the truth I had been seeking all along was tied to my composure. I was nothing but a witness to a crime, and that singular act has been ruining my life since day one. I still had my hands in my face. The sting of that slap was still there, and tears formed at the sides of my eyes. I never expected Fabian to stand for me; I didn't want him to. As much as I pitied her, I wanted to retaliate because the rage was burning inside me. I wanted her to feel the pain she had inflicted on me
Meredith.I was beyond mortified that my mouth was sealed shut throughout the whole drive.I had nothing to say to him. and he had nothing to say to me either. The silence that hovered around us was heavy, and I dared not try to break it when I was nothing but terrified to my bones. I saw the answer that I had been aching for right before my eyes, and it echoed in my ears over and over again. He finally dropped me off at my dorm's entrance. I quickly got down without saying a word to him. I heard him trying to reach out to me, but I got out as soon as I could.Getting to the dormitory, I heard laughter, and it wasn't hard to spot who was in there waiting for me. I got in, and Damien greeted me with a smile."Hello beautiful." His Italian accent was hot, which made him look even more sexy. His hair was a little untamed, filling his forehead and almost covering his eyes. His smile complimented the colour of his eyes, and the excitement in his eyes made me rush towards him, giving him a
MeredithThe previous day flew by very fast. These days, it seemed that the days just blurred together, making me forget the horror of the previous day, which was terrifying. There was nothing to do but sink yourself into every memory. I was able to speak to Jayden, and we sorted the differences aside. He was going to school at Columbia, which was strange because I had always thought he would choose NYU. Inkee wasn't telling me that he had to change his decision that quickly.Every time we speak on the phone, there is a certain sadness that clogs my chest. I knew change was coming, and life was happening to me pretty fast. Faster than I imagined. It feels like I was forgetting him; the image of him I have in my head was fading away pretty fast. It made me wonder if it was happening to him too. Was our friendship going to fade until we became strangers? Was it going to be that bad?It was going to take time for me to get used to the idea that I might not be in every picture of his life
Meredith "This is clearly the wrong time to be calling, agent. I gritted my teeth, almost yelling on the phone. This was what I feared when I agreed to do this. It was like I had nothing else to do with my life other than monitor a foreign asset mafia lord, who would soon have my head, by the way. I realized that everything was so messed up. I was acquainted with his siblings, mostly behind his back, and I was trusting another guy who I was in a relationship with. I also had a roommate who thought all was right in the world when she had booze in her hands.All of this was happening in a strange land. If I were killed and buried here, no one at home would know of my whereabouts. I knew I had to be careful, but I couldn't do that when everything and everyone was breathing down my neck.Every time I call, it is always the wrong time. Don't you have free days from school?""Don't you have anything else other than chasing something that doesn't want to be chased? I countered with a questi
MeredithI couldn't think straight anymore.I held onto the file that the FBI put together. I went through the file over and over, looking for clues that this might not be true. I wanted to swim in the pool of denial,just as I have been these past few months. Mom held on to the truth about Nolan, but I knew why she didn't talk about it. It was depressing to find out what your son was into for years, and we didn't suspect a thing. He was loving and always around when we needed him; it made all of it shocking to me.I saw the pictures and the slides, holding onto the image on the picture. Maybe digging this out was a bad choice. Maybe I should have let sleeping dogs lie and not entered to dig up the past. There was no tangible evidence that Fabian might be involved. From the way he knew a lot of things about me, it was certain that he had had connections with me in the past or that his guys were just good at digging up people's lives.I couldn't sleep because the rough images came to li
