HER PERFECT RUIN, HIS PERFECT REDEMPTION CHAPTER FIFTY
|•| DESIRÉE DOYLE |•|"Thank you," I mumbled to the waiter who had been prancing around the gallery, snatching a champagne flute from the tray. I think that's like my third glass or something but I couldn't care less because I was already high enough by being in the arms of the man I loved as he led us around Nocturne Ville's gallery.André thought it fitting that I needed to de-stress and I needed some time away from my laptop to get in touch with the outside world and tap into my inspiration. He figured that the only way we could do that was if he took me to the art show at the gallery and it was nothing short of amazing.And by figured, he had a package anonymously delivered to me, and he showed up afterwards to ask me himself. I was a little reluctant but it was safe to say that the guy was 'very convincing' with his hands and mouth.I really needed to get away from writing.The Nocturne Ville gallery took the Gothic aura that the city had always had, into play, and they went all

|•| DESIRÉE DOYLE |•|"Des, where the hell are you?""I will be there in a second. I promise," I said to Charlotte, who was on the other end of the phone, struggling to balance the heavy books in my hands, as well as my backpack and the phone I had pressed between my shoulder and my ears."Just get here on time. Tania is really pissed," she responded."When has she ever not been pissed? I'll see you soon. I'd have been there a while ago but I had to pick up some books for school work at the library." I told her, mouthing an apology to the person I bumped into as I raced down the stairs."Okay," she hung up.I skillfully tucked my phone in my back pocket, pulling the books to my chest.As I exited the library building, I was met with a bustling environment that crawled with students, who had just finished their classes. The heavy crowd and the distorted chattering coming from every angle made my skin crawl, heightening my need to leave this premises. I knew what crowds like this meant

|•| IRIS CORTEZ |•|Have you ever been so angry to the point where you feel every one of your insides boil over, and all you want to do is smash someone's face into the wall?Yeah, well that is how I currently feel.As I stood there earlier and watched her tell me that I was going to have to do my presentation all over again because she thought it wasn't the best I could come up with, all my brain could conjure was a thousand quickest ways I could murder her without having it traced back to me.In her words, "You are a very bright student, Iris. But you haven't been yourself lately and that's the reason I am giving you this rare second chance to prove yourself worthy to me again."Who the fuck cares about a second chance? I just wanted to be over and done with the damn thing.I didn't even know what was more infuriating. Redoing my presentation or the fact that I found it excessively hard to focus on one thing these days. Shutting a huge part of my memories out had always been so seam

|•| DESIRÉE DOYLE |•|I was sucked into the dimness of the ridiculously large Victorian Grey-themed room when my eyes fluttered open. The primary source of light was the silvery glow of the moonlight that filtered into the room through the arched windows behind the king-sized bed, which had its curtains pulled to the side.The room, although soaked in the celestial glow, wasn't completely illuminated because some areas of the large room were still a little bit dark. But the bigger and taller man who had his arm draped possessively around me seemed to be the centre of attention for the lighting that descended upon the room because he glowed like diamonds under the night sky.His silky hair was a messy mop atop his head, bringing a light tint to my cheeks as I remembered how I had fisted them really hard earlier when he had his mouth on me. I had grown to realise how his face seemingly displayed more emotions when he was asleep than when he was awake. The look on his face depicted a stat

|•| DESIRÉE DOYLE |•|“Are you sure you'd be fine on your own?” Iris squinted her eyes at me worriedly. I couldn't fight back the urge to roll my eyes at how dramatic she was acting. It was very ironic that I was the one who ought to be freaking out about her—not like I am not—and not the other way around.I wish I could say that she had learnt to tone down her protectiveness when it comes to me but she hasn't. If anything, it only got worse.“Iris,” I groaned at the dark-haired girl whose face was splayed on the screen of my phone. “This is like the fifth time you are calling me today and I have barely had three classes. Aren't you even supposed to be resting or your cramps have found a way to feel less deadly?” I queried her, drowning out the noise that was coming from the students hanging around the hallways in the background as I weaselled my way through the sea of crowds.“Shut up,” she rolled her eyes, pulling the covers up to her chest. “I just feel really guilty that I couldn'

|•| ANDRÉ BAUDELAIRE |•|The prominent golden glow of the sun that hung low on the horizon kissed her skin with a subtlety that made my breath hitch as my fingers darted up to her palm to interlock themselves with her fingers while I kept her in place with my other palm resting on the small of her back.It was like gazing at an artistic piece with the way the lavender, red, and orange streaks of hue were scattered across the surface of the clouds, bathing the garden of peonies in its colourful glow. The burst of colours reflected on the soft pink colour of the flowers, syncing with the colour of her blush pink tulle dress.Her eyes were as bewitching as they were striking, appearing to be the only contrasting feature in her appearance because the sea of electric blue shone like a reflection of light on glass. Her hair was swept around one side of her neck, beaming a shade of golden-orange under the setting sun.As I allowed my eyes to linger on her collarbone, zeroing in on her neck a

|•| ANDRÉ BAUDELAIRE |•|I wouldn't do that if I were you.”The tenderness of the sinister voice that came up behind me made my eyes flit to the mirror where I caught sight of the familiar dark-haired witch behind me. Her dark hair was in a lush cascade, syncing with her black dress and lips that were coated in dark lipstick. She locked like some regal dark force from a fairytale book—a dark angel perched on my left shoulder.“What's happening?” I asked, my voice brittled.“Isn't it obvious?” she arched a brow at me, pushing me to own up to the greatest sins I had ever committed.“No, no, no, no!” I growled, clearing the vanity table in one sweep. I let out a gut-wrenching scream, gripping the edge of the vanity table tightly. My breath came out in unstable puffs.“You killed her.”She divulged those words and they hit me with a renewed sense of force that punctured me like a swift stab to the chest. I spun around, my eyes catching her cold, still, and bloodied frame on the bed. Shive

|•| DESIRÉE DOYLE |•|“I have loved you for a thousand years, Evangeline! Do you really think that one weak, scrawny human is going to suddenly come into the picture and ruin all that? Our never-ending cycle of reincarnation proves that we are meant for each other. How can you not see that?!” “No, no, no. Something is missing about the tone.” I groaned, pushing aside the jotting pad in my hands.Who knew writing a love confession would be this hard? My heart sank as I cancelled out the dialogue I had just written for the umpteenth time. I had been at this for days, hoping to nail the effect I was going for but every dialogue found a way to be different. The inconsistency in their pattern was hindering me from figuring out the one thing that was missing in that conversation.'Maybe it's a break you need' My subconscious chipped in its unsolicited opinion.“I can't take a break. I don't want to take a break.” I muttered harshly in response as though it were here.'Or you just don't wa
