Edward Carter "Are you sure no one saw you come in here?" Edward asks the person he came to seeLaughter fills the room, "No. Stop being so paranoid, you know I'm always careful." The person says before walking close to Edward and hugging himHe pulls away, separating them. "No, No. Nic.. look we have bigger fish to fry right now." Edward paces frantically"Not even a hug? I've missed you, Edward." The person takes steps towards but he steps away again."I'm married, you know that," Edwards says"I'm married too, but that hasn't stopped us before."Edwards sighs defeatedly before pulling the person in for a hug "I've missed you too, so much. But with everything going on, I've been too busy trying to keep my family safe."Annoyance seeps into the other person's mind as he pulls them apart "Family.... and I'm what? Your dirty little secret?" The voice sneers "I'm sick and tired of you acting like you don't love me! But you want my help now that your daughter has royally screwed s
Leonardo "So, what you been up to? Sounds like your schedule was full the other night." I try to hide my smile after what I just said. She was indeed full, full of me.She stares in a daze before leaving whatever funk she was just in "Hm? Oh, yeah. Very full. I don't want to talk about me, tell me about you. How was your trip to Italy? How is your mother doing?" She asks with a smileI told her I was going to Italy to check on my sick mother. Which was a lie, because I was in her home fucking her with a ghostface mask on. My mother is sick though, not just the type of sickness Nova may be thinking. She's sick of me not coming to visit more often, but Nova doesn't need to know all that. "She's doing much better, thank you. I don't think I fed you enough if you still have the energy to talk." I smile at her "Trust me, I'm so full I can barely stand to move out of this couch. I'm glad you're back, I've missed your cooking.""Oh, really? Is that the only thing you've missed?" I smirk
Nova Leonardo was different. And I mean different as in gentle. I didn't want that. I feel sick to my stomach for comparing Leo to him, but I could not help it. He was very sweet and I hated that everything he did for me, including aftercare I found a way to compare both of them.I should be happy he's out of my life and gone for good. But I'm not. Why?Every passing time I spent with him it felt like I was being suffocated but not the way my parents suffocated me.I hate him but I want to have sex with him again. He's different. He's not gentle like Leonardo but that's what I like.Hell! He even pointed his gun at me, stalked me, broke into my home, placed a dead boy beside me, and sent me pictures of it.And I'm pretty sure he figured out a way to make the woman at the admissions office give me this house for free. It's not confirmed yet but I have my suspicions.I remember how I was regretting everything. I don’t even know why I replied to him and even had sex with him. I
Leonardo We arrive at Nova's house after our long six-hour drive. Despite all the warnings from Roman and the boys, I still came with her to meet her parents.I know he won't try something stupid while his family is present.Or maybe they're all in on it. Including, Nova. My subconscious fills my head with negative thoughts.But I know she's not. Her relationship with her father is over. I don't think anything can fix it, especially after I expose his work.The idea brings a smile to my face. "Should I press the doorbell or will you?" I ask Nova after some time. We got down from the car and stood in front of the door for more than a minute."Yeah, I uh... I just need a minute." She exhales and I can see her fingers fidgeting."Baby, we've been out here for more than a minute. We both know you don't want to be here, just say the word and I'll take you home." As much as I want to see the look on Edward's face when I walk in with his daughter, I have to consider the fact that the re
Nova "Hello, Nova." Deshawn greets me after he appears from the dining room."Shut the fuck up! What the hell is he doing here?" I ask angrily. If they want this dinner to hold, Satan's incarnate has got to go.Either he goes or I go. I'm not eating with hell's child."Nova calm down and take your seat." Chance pleads, all I do is glare at him with anger. "Deshawn is a family friend that's why we invited him over.""He humiliated me! That status should have been revoked without asking- wait what do you mean by we?" I look at Chance first but he picks now to be silent. I turn my gaze to my mum and dad and their expressions tell me everything I need to know.I feel a hand rubbing up and down on my thigh softly. For a minute I let myself get angry and forgot that I had come here with Leonardo.I look around again, at the faces that betrayed me and all I feel is anger.Deshawn, on the other hand, had taken to his surroundings like a duck to water. He had been doing well to avoid eye c
Nova It's too quiet. We've been driving for what feels like hours but has been mere minutes, and Leonardo still hasn't said a word to me. After I walked out of my parent's house, despite my mum calling for me and my brother trying to stop me from leaving, Leo tried to talk to me when we got settled in the car but I ignored him. I could feel his gaze burning a hole in the side of my face as he drove and looked at me occasionally. His phone has been ringing repeatedly but he ignores the call again as he did the first time. Since then his mood has changed and he's been quiet. I can tell because I noticed his jaw clench after he checked who was calling.After a few minutes of silence from both of us and his phone, it rings again. He looks at it, and his clenched jaw tells me all I need to know. "In my experience, if someone keeps calling repeatedly it might be because they have something important to say. You should pick up."He continues to stare ahead, his gaze not leaving the road
Leonardo I’d always been in control of my reactions, at least publicly. My grandfather had driven any impulsive displays of emotion out of me since I was a child.In the words of Nicolas Ricci, emotion was weakness, and there was no room for weakness in the cutthroat world we lived in. What just occurred right now is not how I wanted it to go at all. Nova and Priscilla were not supposed to meet yet, or ever. As I stand on the driveway watching Nova's car leave after she successfully found her phone, all I can think of is how this short meeting may have unleashed a lot of havoc."Fuck," I yell angrily on my way inside. I'm not surprised to find Priscilla lurking around the entrance. I'm sure she watched the whole thing through the window, looking and hoping I slip up.I'm not stupid. I know what is at stake."Who's she?" Priscilla asks as I make my way to my room. I ignore her and I immediately hear the familiar sound of her footsteps following behind me. "I'm talking to you, Leonard
Nova Oh my God..."N-no it's... it's not possible." I stutter.Ghostface can't be Leonardo.He takes slow steps closer to me "Princess, let me explain." I want to yell and tell him not to touch me. But all I could do was stare at him as if a second head had magically sprouted next to his head."I... I don't know what to say." That was the truth, I'm too shocked to form coherent words."Say anything." It sounds like a pleaThe pieces begin to form clearly in my head. I'm still confused but there's enough to form a clear image in my head.My mind begins to unravel all that has happened and then I remember the first time I saw his eyes and how blue they were. I look up at him and all I'm met with is the regular shade of black that I've gotten accustomed to on Leonardo. "Take off the contacts," I demand.I don't care much for politeness right now. I'm surprised when he doesn't decline or try to ignore what I asked for. He takes the boring contacts out and places them on the table be
