24 | First Confrontation
Phoebe’s POV
He fucked like the devil.
This was my first thought when I woke up in the morning wrapped around Blaze.
For some inexplicable reason, I was relieved to know that he didn’t leave like last time.
Huh inexplicable
Of course, I knew why I was relieved. If he left like last time, I would’ve been a crying mess by now.
The brown silk sheets cocooned us in its warmth as I play the last few days’ occurrences in my head.
Jesus! Honestly, it felt like someone dragged me through a car wash with my car’s roof open.
Firstly the anxiety of bumping with Nate in Seattle, then this project, the pros, and cons of sleeping with Blaze, the trap at the labyrinth, Nate coming to my rescue, and lastly finally sleeping with Blaze.
He was a temptation I couldn’t get rid of. Everything reminded me of him.
Especially after last night, my bo

Phoebe’s POV “You’re wrong” He mumbles so softly that I almost don’t hear him. I turn my head to study his face which was now, unfortunately, devoid of emotions. “I don’t understand,” I say. He looks up and locks his eyes with mine and I see the pain behind those gorgeous orbs. A myriad of emotions was splayed across his eyes. From sorrow to regret, from regret to remorse, from remorse to relief, all of them lasting for a few seconds only to settle with relief. “You’re wrong because whether you believe it or not, you do mean a lot to me, Phoebe. I don’t know why or how this happened but you have no clue how much it hurt me to see you so fragile and weak when Nate brought you in last night. Seeing Nate carrying you inside the castle…” He trails off saying and his eyes squeeze shut with evident fury and frustrations. And continues again “…it made me incredibly angry knowing that because of my stupid mistake, you almo
Fatal Infatuation 26 | Heated Promises
Phoebe’s POVI’m scared.I’m scared because what if Blaze leaves me as soon as he knows about all the gruesome things that I’ve done unintentionally.If it were to be some other men, I wouldn’t have cared much because they wouldn’t have mattered.But the problem was I raised a high bar for Blaze. Deep down inside me, I’ve placed him on a high podium which I claim to believe only belongs to him.I’m afraid that what if he turns out to be just like the rest of those fools who left me because I was too damaged to be ever repaired.I’m afraid to be let down by him because no matter how much I wanted to ignore it, I knew that I was developing strong feelings for this man, and knowing the type of person that I am, it terrified me to feel this way towards him.I release a huge sigh and look up at the false ceiling carved with slim golden flower design and after a while st
Fatal Infatuation 27 | The New Visitor
Phoebe’s POV“I still don’t like the chairs over there,” I say whilst pointing at the silver-rimmed chairs piled near the exit that arrived instead of gold-rimmed ones.I massaged my temples in frustration and rubbed the sweat away from my face with my cotton handkerchief.The sun glared down at us with its scorching heat as we worked on it. Suddenly I regretted sporting my all-black attire.After my heated morning with Blaze, I thankfully reached my room without bumping with any staff except Gerard.Out ofallthe people, I bumped into him right outside Blaze’s room, wearing nothing other than his black button-down shirt. The butler’s face was truly a sight to behold. His usual stoic expression was replaced with one that displayed utter shock when I opened the door with a shirtless Blaze in tow and thankfully he kept his mouth shut after noticing
Fatal Infatuation 28 | Truth Hurts
Phoebe’s POVHe mirrored my expression and soon it gets replaced with a huge grin.“Oh wow, Phoebe. It’s really you…” He trails off saying and rubs the back of his neck. A nervous habit he always had ever since he was a kid.Darien was my neighbor back in New York when I still lived there. He also happened to be Nate’s best mate. The last time I saw him was the time when he left for Russia to manage his family business after his grandpa passed away from a heart attack.He and I were notthatclose but we were sort of good friends.“You look so different,” He says with wonder and I almost refrain from snorting.“Different as in…?” I curiously ask him even though I had a feeling that I already knew the answer.“I mean uh, like your hair and your style…Uh, how do I say it?” He mutters off and flushes with obvious dis
Fatal Infatuation 29 | Jealousy
Phoebe’s POVI momentarily stiffen at his question but instead of anger, I’m overcome with guilt and fear. Because of the meds, I wasn’t feeling any rage but fear was still lurking around making me gulp nervously.“I slept over your brother’s childhood bedroom last night since it was the closest one from the backdoor” I answer him truthfully even though Blaze and I were only asleep for three hours.I rub the back of my neck nervously while avoiding eye contact and continue “I also kind of requested your brother to stay with me last night because it was late and I was scared. I slept on the bed whilst he occupied the couch” I lie once again and finally after gaining the courage to look at him, I look up and see his frowning face.Please be convinced…“Hmm, maybe I won’t say anything to Blaze. I mean for once he was not being a douche and also he helped you&r
Fatal Infatuation 30 | Shattered Promises
Phoebe’s POVI stare listlessly at the beautiful scenery in front of me whilst sitting on the window frame that overlooks the beautiful view of the castle’s garden.“Then she left the shop. Can you believe the nerve of that woman?” I focus my attention back on the phone when my mum finishes telling tales about some awful customer she encountered today.One of the many things that I inherited from my mother was the lack of patience towards the fowl-mouthed people. We just never had any patience for them.“Forget it, mom. Who cares what she thinks? Besides, did you try out the new recipe you were telling me about?” I ask her and look down at the green blissful scenery again that was now shrouded with the darkness of the night.Another one of the things we both love is nothing other than cooking. My mother started her own bakery when she was just nineteen and almost got disowned by her filthy rich p
Fatal Infatuation 31 | Sharing Pain
*Warning -Contains triggering content regarding bullying*Phoebe’s POVI stare up at the starry sky, placing the palms of my hand flat against the thin concrete railing. The stunning visuals of the moonlight that was reflected against the surface of the lake almost reminding me of the painting inside Blaze’s study.I clutch Blaze's white shirt tighter around my body to protect it from the cool breeze of midnight. The stars twinkled and glowed bright and for a moment I wondered, how it would feel to lie down against the plush furry carpet that cocooned my feet in its warmth.The gentle breeze blew the strands of my messy hair away from my face with a faint smell of moss hinted at the promise of rain soon. Within a few seconds, the earthy smell gets replaced with the fresh smell of after wash that has been lately reeking off me due to a certain someone.I smile as soon as h
Fatal Infatuation 32 | Letting In
Phoebe’s POVAfter gaining a lot of courage, I turn my head and my eyes lock with brown orbs that screamed fury.“Ava…” I struggle to find words but my mouth gets clogged up with unfamiliar fear.“I can’t believe this Phoebe! How could you?! How could you not tell me?” She literally screams and for a moment my hands itch to muffle her screams with my hands.“For fuck’s sake Ava, stop screaming! You will wake people up with that tone” I implore her into understanding but she rises her hands to silenceme.“I had enough Phoebe. For years I stayed by your side and always tried my best to understand you and yet you do this. I understand that maybe you wanted to keep it private from others but still, it hurts knowing that you hid this from me. I mean I tell youeverythingand yet you never open up to me. You did not tell me where you got
