When we got back to the villa, we were both silent. He didn’t even cast a glance at me until we got to the villa, and so I did the same. For some reason, we were awkward."I’ll just take a bath," I said.He eyed me intently, and he nodded. In the bathroom, all I did was think about the things that had happened today.This is the day where Knight confessed his feelings for me, and I fooled him big time. I cursed myself in the shower a lot of times. I let my tears flow as the water fell on my face at the same time.I almost spent half an hour staying in the bath before I got out. I heard him talking to someone. I could hear it but his voice sounded muffled. It's like he’s careful that I might hear it."It doesn’t matter. Just make sure no other investors know that. "My eyebrows furrowed."I said I don’t fvcking care! Just fvcking send things to me and do what I told you. "I gasped. He sounded mad. I got nervous, so I stepped back and decided to stay inside for a while. I chose not to
He loved the sunset because of me. Every time he sees the sunset, it’ll always remind him of me. Because that’s what I embarked on in his mind. Good things, fantasies, and good words.But I didn’t tell him the truth. I know, deep inside me, even how much I love sunsets, I’ll always hate them too. Because it’ll always remind me of something that’s ending. And I know what it is.That brief time we spent together felt like heaven to me.Those days are some of the happiest days of my life. I couldn’t even remember the last time I was happy. Perhaps I’ve never been that happy before.One of my most happy memories is probably being with my mother, or when our family is still whole and happy.Right now, I have a new list of favorites, and it’s with him. But I know, it’s also coming to an end.On our last night at the resort, after eating dinner with just the two of us, we stayed at the beach, enjoying the peace and quiet under the stars and moon.He hates the moon, or maybe he hates the night.
-Knight’s POV--And there I said it."Stories end that way?" she asked.No, our story starts to that. This is not about them. This is about us, Athena. I wish to tell him that."Why? How do you want it to end?"She pouted. "I don’t know. Maybe a happy ending? I hate sad endings."I watch her face intently. We’ll make it one, baby. If only you would accept and trust me. "So what’s your answer to my question?""Hmmm, if it’s alright if a wolf falls in love with me?" she thought for a few seconds. "Logically, I think no. But if I’ll go with my feelings, I think yes.""What kind of answer is that?""Well, it ain’t true. But if it's true, then what’s wrong with being in love? Love should never be a sin. That’s why I don’t get why God would make that the child’s curse. Love should never be a curse." She smiled at me.Athena, is it possible to fall more deeply? Because you’re right. You will never be my curse. Loving you will never be a curse for me. Because if that’s the case, I’ll thank t
--Athena’s POV--I knew from the moment we came back to the city that everything would change.Our flight left in the afternoon and arrived in the evening. Knight drops me off at my apartment because he’ll be going straight to his office. It’s past office hours. I don’t know why he seems to be unable to let go of his work."I’ll call you," he said when his car stopped.I nodded and didn’t even glance at him. I got my body bag prepared to go out of the car."Athena," he called me.I had no choice but to look at him. I pretended as if everything was normal."Hmm?""I said, I’ll call you."I said, "Sure," and stormed out of the car. I didn’t look back at him.The moment I stepped inside my apartment, I immediately felt the emptiness. I sighed heavily. God. We've only been apart for how many minutes, so what's in store for the next few days?I didn’t have the time to change clothes. I slumped into my bed and let go of the things I'd been holding onto for the past three days since I'd been
Well, I could just make excuses. But I think my conscience is full of lying. I already told myself that even before we returned here to the city, I would gradually move away from him.It's hard for me to lie to him, so if I lie to him now, I don't think I can handle it. I penetrated the sea of people. I turned into a hallway without looking around to see if he followed me or not. I reached the hallway that leads to the private rooms and rest rooms, because there were only a few people here. "I'm sorry," I apologize to those who I bumped into, even though I don't know if it's my fault.I'm in a hurry. Wearing five-inch heels, I rudely walked down the dark hallway. I just want to get away. I don't care where else I end up. I bumped into a man with two other men. They were laughing, but when I interrupted, they stopped. The guy I bumped into tried to talk to me, but two men in uniform stopped them. I don’t know what happened or who they were.I kept running."Miss, are you alright? Why
"So let go of me, and let’s end this thing between us."His embrace tightened more. "No, no, no. Please, Athena…"Tears gushed like a faucet. I bit my lip just to stop my sobs."I’ll be good. I’ll do anything you tell me, anything you want, just not this please. I want us to work. I want to commit to you. Please…""I said let go!" I pushed him with all my might.And since he’s weak at the moment, I succeeded in pushing him. He really is weak. His eyes were bloodshot. I could see the desperation in the way he looked at me."We can still make this work, baby. I promise you. I’ll let you fall for me. I’ll do my best-""I will never love you, you understand? You will never be good to me, and so am I to you! Why can’t you just let go of me? "He shook his head continuously. "No, I don’t believe you. I might be a fool, but I’m not delusional, Athena. I felt it. The way you kissed me. The way you held me and the way you looked at me. That gave me hope. That kept me going. So I will never bel
His place was so dark. No noise could be heard as soon as I arrived at his place. Dimmed lights, deafening silence, and the loud beating of my heart- that reigned in his whole penthouse.I silently walked inside to look for him. I scanned the whole living area and didn’t see any shadows of him. My chest got heavier. Why am I still wondering? Of course he’s not here. I should know where he is already.I’m not mistaken. When I got to the hallway, I saw the door to his room half open. A dim light was coming out of it. I pushed it slowly. My eyes traveled to the man that was seated on the single couch, and behind him was the view of the city.He’s half naked. A white towel was covering his lower body. His legs are spread apart while both of his arms are resting on his side. He’s looking like a ruthless man, very different from the man I know.With gritted teeth, I stood there watching him. I couldn’t see his face since his room was dark and the lights from behind him were not helping eith
-- Knight’s POV--"So what now? Are you just going to stay here and let yourself drown in that sh*t liquor of humans? " Lucas stated.I chuckled bitterly. I wish to get drunk, but Lucas’ bane is disgusting just by thinking about it. This seems to calm my nerves, so this will be fine."Are you not going to go back to your place?"Right. I’ve left the penthouse for good for a month now. Which means it’s been a month now since Athena left me. A month later, when Athena decided to leave me and prove to me that she stayed in our set up for nothing but money and sex.I drank the whole bottle of liquor. If only this liquid could kill me, then I’d hit the jackpot. But no, I know what fate I need to deal with. By now, I know that no death could end my misery without getting Athena involved.But it still hurts me. I feel like I’m dead inside already. Her leaving me and hearing from her own mouth that she didn’t feel anything for me even the slightest bit. I tried, I tried hard to make her stay.
