Walking out of the hospital, Arya’s face was full of joy at the remembrance of the doctor’s words. Soon her mother will be discharged and there was no better news she longed to her hear but this.She swiftly waved down a taxi closing her eyes as she got comfortable with her soul but her heart was far from okay. Why? That’s because she’s currently headed for the first movie shoot but that isn’t the problem, the main issue was the fact that she’ll have to face Lucious.After that drugging incidence and some fragments of memories returned she has been doing a pretty good job escaping both brothers for a week. But now that it has come to this, there was no point escaping Lucious because apart from the fact that he’ll see her at work, it’s also gonna be impossible to hide from him tonight at Mr. Harrington’s birthday celebration, especially when she’s attending as Nick’s date.Getting into the shooting scene and the last person she wanted to see was Anna, but there she was in all her g
Arya’s POV The ride to the event was awfully quiet as I dare not breathe, I had escaped a bullet earlier thanks to the attendant and I didn’t miss the opportunity to slip away. All the fuzz over that dress and it wasn’t my outfit for the night, instead Nicklaus made sure I wore what he selected and may I just say when my eyes landed on the tag I almost lost my marbles but then again it wasn’t a big deal for him. It feels almost illegal to wear a gown costing seven million dollars but here I was completely embedded in it and just a second later the worrisome ride came to a halt but that only marked the beginning of my anxiety as my eyes travelled across the array of reporters and paparazzi waiting to take a shot at the walk in carpet. I bit my lips and clutched harder on my purse, how did I forget such a crucial aspect, what am I gonna do now? There’s no doubt it’ll be over the news if this gets out and as though the heavens were on my side I witnessed Nicklaus utter.“We’ll use the
Arya’s POV “I am not your toy!” I roared with all my might only to hear. “You belong to me” grazing against my lips but I wasn’t gonna let his overbearing attitude win, so I raised my chin in a show of defiance and uttered.“I don’t” but next thing I knew he was stretching out his tie, at first I thought the hot sensation was getting to him but I was wrong ‘cause in the next instance he completely removes it and yanks my frame to the bed tying on to my hands while I actively struggled to break free but it was useless as he pinned and dragged me to the center of the bed where he tied my hands above my head against the board of the bed.Yet, before I could regain balance from his unaffectionate movements I heard him mutter three words that made me fall unnaturally still.“Spread. Your. Legs”. He said with a dangerous look in his eyes but I didn’t, I clutched it tighter and to my baffling reality he forcefully opens them making me reflexively move to counter him.“Keep ‘em opened or I
Arya’s POV ‘Aside from the splash of white every other thing shimmered with gold in this exotic suite’ these were the only thoughts I captured as I let my eyes dart towards the huge doors and with striking speed I swung off the bed, best option I had right now was to make a run for it, otherwise there was no telling what this monster was capable of. But in the next second I felt my figure being yanked into an embrace while I couldn’t help but wonder through gnashed teeth ‘is he even human? How is it possible to be that alert and quick?!’In the blink of an eye my hands were snatched behind my butt and my frame was plastered against the floor-to-ceiling glass that gave a glorious view of the hotel which I’m so glad has a high layering and tint, otherwise...I honestly don’t even want to imagine the outside view.“You defy my orders again” he whispered against my neck evidently making my hairs stand as he drags his fingertips along the slope of my back until he reaches an obstacle. My b
Arya’s POV It’s simply becoming troublesome, having to look over my shoulders every three seconds, just because I’m exchanging words with a male specie. I need to end this conversation quick otherwise someone’s eyes might really make me trip and loose a tooth.Meeting the person before me struck me as a surprise indeed, but then again how could I not have expected him to be present, he’s a Prince for crying out-loud, if he wasn’t present in such an occasion crawling with every aristocrats and men and women of prestige where else would he be found? But I must admit, this puts us in an awkward puddle, well at least for me. After that epic failed proposal, I’ve been doing my uttermost best to avoid him but here we are standing next to each other. ‘Urgh! Just when I thought I’d escaped the lord of attention, another swings by and may I just say- the ladies love him. Now I’m yet again receiving numerous stolen glances that stared spiteful daggers at me. Oh, let’s not forget the figure cou
Bella’s POVThe sound of my ringtone filled the air but my ears had long grown numb to it. After that disaster of a dinner my mom’s being calling my phone none stop but I wasn’t ready to face the devastating reality staring me straight in the face so I told myself, maybe if I ignore it, who knows? It might just go away but boy am I kidding? I’m just lucky she doesn’t know where I live otherwise it would’ve been a hell of a show.I took one last peek at the mirror in my brunette velvet dress, the hugging feel is a direct complement to its soothing texture. Although I contemplated attending this event, I could really use a distraction right now, so why pass this opportunity. Moments later I stepped foot in the hall but not before turning on silent mode cause the last thing I needed was to drag unwanted attention to myself. While holding my phone I gave Arya a call, at the very least I should announce my arrival. The broad smile on her lips made my heart melt, I felt fulfilled by keepin
The dramatic display at the other end of the hall has started to draw some attention especially after the intervention of the man every woman’s eyes has been glued to. Things were taking a different turn and Mr. Andrew was really going berserk at this realization but not as much as Arya. The last thing she wanted was a knight in shinning armor, especially if that knight was Nicklaus. Of course she was still fuming mad at him but that wasn’t close to the reason. It’ll only take few words out of his mouth and she’ll make tomorrow news headlines. The moment a phrase like ‘my woman’ escapes his lips, she’s done for.Having his presence behind her is like a ticking bomb, so she thought to break this silence before he gets another chance to speak. Her eyes fluttered as she released her grip on the glass which was held in the hand under Andrew’s hold. The loud thud and shattering forces him to let go and Arya needed no other opportunity to slip away taking long strides away from the mad ma
The docile and calm ride was a complete contrast to Arya’s raging emotions. She was furious, why would he forcefully detach Pearl from her embrace? She’s been long convinced that he’s a psycho but anytime he shows his true colors she can’t help but be alarmed. In annoyance she folded her hands against her chest while staring through the window zealously as though not wanting to miss her stop. Anything to get away from his presence.“We’re here ma’am-” the chauffeur announced but he was cut abrupt by the sudden shut of the door and within seconds Arya took hurried strides to her apartment and evidently flexing the cold shoulders she’d served Nick through the ride. But the person in question had zero clue to what wrong he had committed and only knitted his brows in confusion. But we all know who’d take the heat for this misfortune as Nick turned his gaze to his phone.Arya slumped on her bed, ready to shut her eyes to dreamland but then it hit her, she can’t sleep with makeup on. “Argh!
