The sound of birds chirping so loud greeted my morning, I blinked my eyes to see the morning view from this room while a great pain pressed against my neck and head. Resentment overtook me when I remembered what happened to me last night, what I had done in Rhysand's secret room which was so dirty and disgusting, and what he had done to keep me from being conscious.I tried to get up after massaging my head and neck tightly. It's not of much use, but it will help me a little.I sat up on the bed, and I can't think of a way to get out of this hell that is clad in beauty. My head hurts so bad, and I don't know if its uselessness to think is because of the pain or because I'm stupid. Looks like number two is the correct one.I'm not refused or denying anything. I should have always had to do something based on my gut feelings and instincts, but my heart has always found a way to control my entire reaction to him, what to do with him, and to believe that my fall for him was something beau
I've wanted to know where it all started for a long time. Where did we first meet, and what have I done to make him obsess over me like this.I never remember him at all, I never felt that I had ever seen him in my life. I didn't even know he was alive when I met him at the cafe. And since then I never thought there was a man like this. So madly in love with stalking me and painting me with all his wild thoughts. And all that..Until now I still can't believe that there is a man who is obsessed with me. I mean, I don't have anything special apart from being born in a well-respected family and falling into the 'old money' category. I'm not sure if anyone looks at me more than Rhysand, and Jordan looks at me. I'm not pretty either, and not smart. I've never stood out, and rafaella who has it all : famous, beautiful, charming, and smart. I was always behind her, being her shadow.And a little fear overtook me. What if it wasn't me all along? What if it wasn't me that Rhysand found years
"You're so amazing with your bob, and bangs that almost reach your eyebrows. Such a great cut, and adorable." he chuckles into my stomach, his voice so jolly and distinct. Like he really likes it and lives with it.I'm completely different. I growled in annoyance at that. It was such a crazy haircut, Rafaella cut it while I was crying, and told me everything that happened to me and Kevin. How I hated that man, and never wanted to see him again. I'm a little stressed and traumatized because of what Kevin has done to me, and I'm always doing something to just lighten my shoulders. I cut my hair. A little or a lot. It didn't do much, but it helped me release the pressure that was on my head.The hair on my ends is like a vessel for all the negative energy and I always feel relieved when it is removed. Unfortunately, Rafaella is too excited, and perfunctory. That was the first and the last time she helped me cut my hair because she traumatized me, and made me into an embarrassing high sch
Things happened after that. I asked for nothing more than to accept whatever Rhysand was doing to me, letting myself sink once more into his touch, until my stomach screamed to be filled, and then he stop and let me enjoying my time alone.I ate the two large chicken sandwiches that were in front of me slowly. I chose to eat this on the side terrace, this beautiful spot is my favorite. This food wasn't Rhysand's cooking, to be sure, he couldn't make anything other than milk and cereal at all, so it was probably Elisabeth who made this. Thinking about it makes me a little relieved that at least I have friends here.Rhysand was doing his thing in his office, and I wasn't tempted just to annoy him. I already have a lot of things bothering my skin. All about what he just told me. It's all weird, and doesn't make any sense, but even so I'm not denying that it's a lie. I met him when I was in high school. And if only I could predict the future, I would kick him even harder, ask for stronger
I wanted to find peace, but that seemed impossible because a few minutes after I came out the door of the courtyard wall and part of the forest. I had quite entered the pine tree forest when he called out to me. I was still enjoying the scene in front of me that felt like a fairy tale world, so I just stood there, and stayed still, not wanting to take a step towards it.I just turned around, and looked at him who was walking towards me with long strides but not running. The hem of the mantle he was wearing fluttered against the gentle winter wind."What are you doing?" he asked, when he came to me, his face hard and otherwise calm. His tone also came out calm, and low."Escape from here, or jump off the cliff I'll find later." I replied, sarcasm."You can't.""I know." I heaved a tired sigh. "I just want to get some air, and come home when I'm hungry. You don't have to worry. I'm not stupid enough to run away from here. Or you." I explained to him, with passionate feelings, of course.
Silence greeted for a few seconds after the words left him.I couldn't take my eyes off whatever was on his face. His expression was so deep and made something inside me vibrate in an unnatural way. There was something in his eyes that wasn't gentleness or something that should be taken from a man who had just confessed his feelings. It's so wild, and consuming. Like he was telling me that he wanted me to be tied to his bed all day, if I could, and would burn everything that stood between me and him. His eyes were full of possessiveness, full of territoriality, full of evil things, and something naughty and sexy.I squirmed, and was distracted as the vibrations in my heart intensified. I don't know how I can still stand when my knees are so weak, and I don't know how I can forget everything. The terrible things he's done to take me, and his obsession.It was disturbing, and terrifying, it should have been, but instead I found myself shaking with desire, and my heart burning. I really
"But she won't worry, will she? Don't you want that? For everyone worrying about you out there to know you're okay in here." Xavier's voice came while my head was busy cursing him, and his friend.I snorted. "Yes, of course. Thanks for your help."Xavier laughed. "So what exactly do you want Amanda? Ask her for help? I'm not sure she can do that for you."She can't help me alone, but she can tell my family where I am, and then they will find me. But, well, contacting Gabriella through Xavier is something I can't go through. He's just playing with me. Somewhere he's going to tell Rhysand what I did. Rhysand wouldn't like it, and he might just lock me in here forever."I want you to go. Leave me alone." I said, throwing the napkin with a bit of a bang on the table. He didn't bother to hide his amused expression. Irritating. Maxel is better than him."Fine, if that's what you want, Princess. I'm sure you'd prefer your prince to accompany you now."I looked away, and did nothing as he lef
"What have you done to men who want to approach me?" I asked, my head resting on his bare chest, hearing his heart beating loudly but still in a calm rhythm. My fingers tracing the traces of tattoos on his chest, and hands. One of his hands hugs my waist, his fingers stroking my naked back with a caress so soft and calming me while sending obscene vibrations.We were still in the theater making love while the fucking rom-com was playing, and then stopped when it was over. Now Star Wars films that grace the screen, his favorite film."Who's telling you?" his voice was filled with astonishment, and I could tell that his brow was furrowed at this moment."Your friend.""Maxel.""Well, who else? Looks like your other friends are jerks enough to just talk to me."His chest shook as he chuckled. "Well, Xavier sure sucks."I was instantly smitten about Xavier de Luca. The second mysterious man besides Rhysand. "Is he really that billionaire descendant of Italy? De Luca?"Rhysand muttered in
