Phoebe’s POV
“Stop that” Blaze snaps at me with a pointed annoyed look in my direction, putting a hand on top of my knee. It is when I realize that I’ve been constantly jerking my leg up and down nervously.
“Um, sorry” I mutter out my apology and start toying with the wrist band of my watch as I gaze at the streetlamps that we zoom past by. The roads aren’t that crowded, unfortunately.
The less the traffic, the soon we reach his parents’ mansion.
Fuck
“I don’t understand. Why are you so tensed?” He asks with vague frustration lacing his voice and I avoid the urge to throw something at him.
Meds, I need my meds.
I fumble inside my purse for the yellow striped container that I keep with me for emergencies and answer Blaze, “Imagine this - You’re meeting my parents and they d

Fatal Infatuation 28 | Cold Disaster
Phoebe’s POVOver the time span of the last hour, I’ve come up with three conclusions.1st – Blaze’s mother is way too possessive over her son like people often say about Italian mothers being jealous of their son’s lover.2nd – This Diana bitch must’ve been a gold-digger who was after Blaze’s money.3rd – Blaze must’ve been left heavily heart-broken after Diana left him.And trust me when I tell you, three of these conclusions sound terribly awful.As I follow Lucia towards the indoor pool area, I regard my surroundings with awe. The place was tidily decorated with luxurious stone statues and golden-colored furniture with the dark red theme throughout the house, which only enhanced the royalty of this place. The place also had an airy feel to it with multiple balconies overlooking the vast foliage outside.Unfortunately for me, Blaze disappeared inside the s

Phoebe’s POVThe glittery waves clashing over one another acts as a source of tranquility for me as I keep my gaze locked on the beautiful landscape laid out in front of me.Currently perched on the stone railing of the balcony inside Blaze’s room, I stare at the sea in front of me, wondering how it would feel to drown in that exact sea-water before memories of Blaze and me fooling around the beach on the other day floods inside my mind.Blaze…I’veflawlesslymanaged to embarrass him in front of his family. Iruinedeverything. His family must think that I’m some uncoordinated imbecile who is undeserving of the eldest son in their family.Maybe Emily was right all along –I ruin everythingMy head falls back against the hard wall with a loud sigh passing my lips and I keep on staring through my hooded eyes at the magnificent sc
Fatal Infatuation 30 | The Final Masquerade
Phoebe’s POVThe grainy sand underneath my skin feels soothing and therapeutic as we lay underneath the lit-up sky. The stars twinkled and winked at us with the sea-water lapping at our entangled limbs.My mind felt refreshed and for the first time, I felt at peace. I felt like everything was going just the way I wanted it to be.“What’s going around that beautiful head of yours?” Blaze asks, pulling me out of my star-gazing, and I roll over to face him.“Nothing in particular actually” I shrug and inquire, “What about you?”“I’m thinking…” He drawls out in a playful tone and at that moment I know that he’s about to say something funny, “…how smoothly tonight went”I knew that he was going to say something awfully sarcastic like that!I swat him on the chest and laugh with my head thrown back.“Yeah&
Fatal Infatuation 31 | Say Your Apologies
Phoebe’s POVGreat! Just what I need– Note the sarcasm“Noah” My voice is chilled like ice as I turn to face him. Even though` his half-masked face, I can see that he’s desperate. His normally vibrant brown eyes now look dull with no light in them. I wince when I see his lost expression and it was obvious that he’s been through a lot.Christ, was I THAT harsh to him?“Can we please talk, Phoebe?” He repeats his question and seeing him almost on the verge of tears, my anger thaws a little.I nod my head silently and look at the vast crowd that’s starting to gather underneath the huge made-up tent. I couldn’t see Blaze anywhere. I know that he would blow afucking gasketif he finds out that I’m talking with Noah, knowing how possessive he is but honestly, I don’t know what to do.
Fatal Infatuation 32 | Meet The Ex
Phoebe's POVI think all the air evaporates from my body as I whip my head to look in her direction again. Only this time, I scrutinize herproperlyfrom head to toe. I instantly cringe when I register her magnetic presence.She wasawfully gorgeousI feel my hands fist on their own accord when I see Blaze’s eyes still locked with her.Her beautiful symmetrical face was visible to me as she removed her silver mask. She was wearing a silver organza gown which accentuated her hourglass figure and unfortunately, she didn’t look like the slutty type of ex you read about in novels. She looked very well-groomed. Her wavy platinum blond hair was pulled into a loose chignon bun and her make-up was minimal like mine.However, my vision loses her when I feel Blaze literallydragme away from her like I’m some rag doll and she’s a bully who’s about to snatch awa
Fatal Infatuation 33 | The Crash
Phoebe's POVI look at her with my mouth gaped open in disbelief. My hands shake with fear as she saunters towards me like a predator circling its prey.“How on earth…?” I trail off in confusion.“How on earth I know that you’re a bloody killer?” She probes mockingly and I cringe at her word usage.A bloody killer, huh!As much as troublesome the word sounds, it’s truly fitting in my case. But what I’m trying to grasp is the fact of how she knowsthis. My parents completely made sure that this information stays away from the public eye then how the fuck does she know?The records were wiped clean to the point that even if Sherlock Holmes starts looking for this information; he will come bare-handed.I clench my hands into fists to stop them from shaking and keep my face impassive, something I’ve become a pro at over the years.“
Fatal Infatuation 34 | Painful Decisions
Phoebe’s POVThe beeping sound of machines is the first sound I hear as I open my eyes only to be greeted with the cold sterile atmosphere of the hospital walls.Weirdly enough, my body doesn’t really hurt as I expected it to after the car crash. After blinking my eyes open, I make out the vague outline of a middle-aged nurse in blue scrubs, jotting down something on the clipboard.As if sensing my consciousness, she looks up with a wide smile and flashes me her pearly whites.“Ciao cara, come ti senti?” I frown in confusion at the language that she’s speaking and watch her smile falter upon seeing my confused state.She spews a few more words in a language that I presume is Italian and holds up three of her fingers frantically, waving them in front of my face.What the fuck…Did they admit me with lunatics or what? Where the fuck am I even?Shit, is
Fatal Infatuation 35 | Aftermath
Phoebe’s POV“What mistake, Aves?” I inquire skeptically as I register her forlorn expression. It was like someone was tearing her heart out and honestly speaking, it was kind of sad to witness.She lets out a deep sigh and faces me with a determined look.“I guess it’s time I told you the truth. Remember the time when I told you that I was seeing someone…” She says and seeing my confused face, she clarifies further, “I mean the guy you never met. It was during my last year in college before my internship atVanity”That is when the fog inside my memory lifts.Of course, the mystery guy to whom Ava lost her virginity to and the one that none of our friends ever saw“Ah, you mean the one for whom you used to ditch us back in college?” I decide to tease her and just like I expected, her face reddens like a ripe tomato.“Oh sh
