Arya’s POV “Take a stance and listen carefully. You don’t need years of training to win a fight, most times the best doesn’t always win. It’s all about perception. Can you perceive your opponent’s next move? This can only be done by knowing their strength and weaknesses then using it to your advantage” Nicklaus deep voice echoed while I kept my ears peeled taking every word with seriousness. Staring at his tall muscular figure, his hands were clasped against his back making him exude an authoritative aura. I gulped nearly giving up my plan to avenge Lucious. He’s so tall, will I have to jump to reach his face?My train of thoughts were cut short by his command. “Try to hit me” he declared as though reading my mind. My lips curled up as a sly smirk stretched it and I couldn’t help but mentally say.‘Okay, if you insist’.Not giving too much thought I charged ahead with my hands fisted and ready to pummel a blow but for a second it felt like my eyes deceived me. It took me a while t
Those words rang turmoil in Arya’s heart, putting an abrupt end to her jubilee seconds ago. Be she held his gaze determined to get out of this unscathed. “We’re done training, I have things to do” she voiced trying to release her wrist from his grip but we all know that’s pointless.“Aren’t you gonna take a shower?” Nick asked the smirk on his lips still very prominent. Arya looked down at herself, indeed a shower was needed after training but the look on Nicklaus face made her question her hygiene. ‘Wouldn’t it be better to sleep like this?’Eventually she broke the eye contact and voiced “Yeah, I will” And as though those were the confirmatory words he was desperately itching to hear he picked her up in one swift motion completely startling Arya.“What’re you doing?” She questioned with urge, for obvious reasons this was leading somewhere dreadful.“Where’d you think? To get you showered of course” Her frame hanging over Nick in a bridal style stiffened. She couldn’t believe
Dawn of the day met their awakening. Arya popped open her eyes knowing it was useless to pretend again. The sight before her was glorious, just simply magnificent. “It should be illegal to look this handsome” Arya breathed, using her index pad line out his features, especially his sharp nose bridge, it was literally begging to be toyed with. So lost in her imaginations that she didn’t realize when he opened his eyes. His gaze held some amusement as he watched her smile in a daze but that smile stiffened the moment his deep voice penetrated her ears.“If you look at me like that, I might just cancel today’s plans”.A flustered blush creeped on Arya’s face, the look in his eyes let her know he was dead serious and she couldn’t help but wonder ‘how can the peaceful frame moments ago morph into a monster in seconds?’ Staying longer wouldn’t do her any good so she raised the quilt but in the blink of an eye she dropped it back. Her face flashing tons of emotions. ‘Last night...didn’t I
Bella’s POV I rolled out of bed seeing it was quite early. My eyes subconsciously darted to the space beside me as though waiting for a miracle but my expectations only met disappointment as I stared at the empty sheets. It’s been like this for a week. What’s happening to me? I used to be happy when he wasn’t around but now what? I’m actually missing him? Or is this just the guilt for how I reacted the last time?My legs moved on their own accord and I found myself staring at the vanity mirror. I was beautiful as always, my gloomy eyes were a complete contrasts to my glowing skin that flowered by the fact I haven’t been out in days. I lazily made my way to the washroom but my steps slowed as the lingering memories clouded my head. “He must think I’m crazy” I breathed with a sad smile tugging my lips. “Maybe I am” I admitted while I took off my clothes and did justice to my appearance. “F*ck!” I cursed, everything’s reminding me of him, when did I get so attached? ‘Urge!’ I groan
Bella’s POV My body recognized him instantly, his rapid intrusion blocked my disarrayed thoughts, all I wanted was to submit to my darkest desires and within seconds I felt my wish slowly coming true. The kiss deepened as his movements intensified causing him to rise to his feet and toss me against the counter. My compliant wasn’t needed as he swiftly lifted my frame, flinging the obstruction of a wine glass that landed with a loud “clank!” And placed my butt just where he wanted.But none of that mattered, the only thing ringing in my brain is how he’s repeatedly grinding against my lips. He was certainly on fire, his igniting mine effortlessly. My hands roamed through his blonde hair as his heated kiss trailed to my collar bone.“Mhmm...” I stumbled over my moans. My deep V-neck dress gave him a lot of skin to chew on. Not that I was complaining to be honest, his lascivious behavior summoned an unthinkable appetite within me and I wrapped my legs around his toned waist evidently pu
Arya’s POV Avoiding Nicklaus these past weeks have been quite the hustle but it was certainly necessary. My exams are finally done and I was right when I said Nicklaus is a big pile of distraction, I can’t believe I almost missed my first paper because of him. Luckily, during my recovering from the gunshot I buried my head in reading. There wasn’t much to do anyways, lying all day was tiring. Taking a quick glance at my watch, I reminded myself that I still had thirty minutes to wait and I would be lying if I said my butt wasn’t killing me. I’m convinced this bench was made as the bane of my existence but I have to be a good friend and wait till Emily’s exams are over, also it wouldn’t be fun to walk home alone. Just then my phone buzzed a message while I narrowed my eyes at the alert. I couldn’t help but scoff loudly. Andrew sent a sum of this month’s dividend, it was a huge sum to be honest but he must be twitching if he thinks this will make me give up disowning him. My eyes
Arya’s POV If I had known Nicklaus could be this shameless, I wouldn’t have opened it in front of Emily but I guess that’s out of the question now. My cheeks flushed as I slowly lowered the letter and met Emily’s blushing gaze. Call me a coward but the only thought in my head is how to escape what’s coming. “Oh my! That’s so cheesy. So you do have a boyfriend” Emily chirped while I stared on conflicted. “Is that why you turned down Prince Damian?” She pressed nudging me with her shoulders while I could only roll my eyes as an excuse. The note read:[“I want you ready in the yacht, I’ll be back from my trip tomorrow]Let’s be honest, this isn’t the kind of note to be mailed, his methods are always so different. As I unfolded the paper completely I realize why he resulted to such techniques.[“Take my calls or you won’t sleep a wink when I get back”]It wasn’t as if I blacklisted his number, and even if I did it was for good reasons. I only placed my phone on ‘Do not disturb’ un
The dark room in Harrington’s mansion sounded with a chill voice over the phone.“Get her at all cost!” Juliet’s voice stirred trouble in the heart of the caller. “But-” he tried to say but his words were cut abrupt.“Do I need to remind you what awaits if you defile my orders? Your wife and child would be as good as dead by sunrise. Remember, you no longer have the protection of Harrington clan, so do as you’re told”Her words halted his complaints “Okay...ma’am” he forcefully affirmed and the call was disconnected.‘Veronica, that good for nothing, can’t do anything right’ this thought caused Juliet to slowly press her nape in frustration. “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Enough time have been wasted already, I can’t delay this any longer” she breathed to no one seeing as was alone in the balcony that shimmered from the full moon reflection. *****Morning came quickly as Bella’s eyes fluttered open but instead of an empty space she found dark br
