This is a bad plan, I'm well aware.I thought about it while under the strong warm shower. I close my eyes.Whatever Rhysand offers is a trap for me. He could have done whatever it took to drown me. But on the other hand, I also realized that there was nothing I could do. What Rhysand said was true.. that there wouldn't be anyone who could help Renne's investigation except him. And I also realized that if I asked Reagan for help, somehow my family would find out. Maven is very close to Nicholas, and Reagan is Nicholas' younger brother. The guy is very close to his own big brother, and often shares him anything and everything… he can talk to Nicholas about what he did for me and then Nicholas will talk about it to Maven, and then my big brother will stop me.The bottom line is I can't give Reagan that trust.But the person I trusted, the man I made a deal with.. was the man who would make me face my own death. I know very well that behind all the lust and passion I feel for him, the te
From : Rafaella.Dad is angry.Those two words managed to make my body freeze with fear, and bad thoughts. Dad.. what shall I do to him?I'm the one here... spending my time with Rhysand del Millero. The man he doesn't like because of his assumptions and all the information that I doubt is true.. must have made him furious. Dad probably thought I was giving him a war flag blatantly when I should be a woman who doesn't play around with other men because I'm about to get engaged to the man of his choice.I rest my head on the head of the big thick sofa which feels nice and comfortable. After thinking that I would definitely accept any lectures and tantrums from him.. I chose to stay here. I didn't want to argue with him because I couldn't fight him, and I didn't want to be a rebellious daughter. I knew that if I did I would be verbally defending Rhysand... but it felt like what I was doing right now was all the same.I snorted again, put my phone on the sofa table, I rubbed my face roug
Our kiss broke, and Rhysand was panting above me, he lowered his face from mine to my neck, and bit the sensitive skin on my neck. Sending a jolt straight through my body. I stroked his hair with the fingers of both hands."I can make you do many things, but I can't make you believe in me. You have to give me that one."Did he really ask that? My trust? If so, boy, has he set some goals for himself. "Do you think it's easy to trust you?""It's going to be easy, if you really want to do it." He kissed my neck again."When I see your past, and how wild your life is. How many women you might treat like me .. I doubt that wil happen.""The past is irrelevant, and I told you I never treated them the way I treated you, Mew." He sighed against my neck, and stopped kissing my sensitive spot. He just buried his face in it, looking comfortable and so serene, and his arms moved to wrap around my waist. "That's why I want you to believe in me. I feel in vain doing all I can to make you mine if yo
After talking with Renne, I came out of the kitchen. Looking for Rhysand, and I found him in a field of reeds, alone looking ahead. A distant glance, and his hands in his coat pockets. His appearance was so handsome that I was amazed for a moment before realizing that Felicia wasn't there."Where's Felicia?" I said as I stepped closer to him.He glanced over his shoulder. "I told him to leave me alone."I frowned as I stopped beside him. "I thought you needed a friend."He turned to me. "All I need is you."“Stop spouting such cheap words.” I snorted in annoyance.His laughs out."What do you think about this place?" I asked turning to him.“Beautiful and wonderful.” he replied. "I thought I would make one like this in America or Spain or some other country."I rolled my eyes. "You already have a lot of houses, you know.""You only know four." He furrowed his brows."And that's too much already!" I shouted without being able to hold it in. "I don't know what's the point of having lots
I have to get back as soon as possible before Daddy and Maven come back, Mommy said that.It was the right thing for me to do because Mommy added that daddy's emotions are unstable lately, he gets angry easily over trifles, and I'm a little afraid that the emotional swings he's going through are because of me.Mommy didn't say what the reason was and just smiled and said she'd take care of the dad thing. There was no feeling of sadness or disappointment that she threw at me because I chose to refuse an engagement with her best friend's son, Mommy didn't seem at all bothered and unlike most other mothers who forced their daughters into an arranged marriage. Mommy accepted what I wanted because she thought that choice would make me happy.Even though I know for a fact that it's a little scary.Okay, well, I'm happy.I've had happy moments with Rhysand whether it's from the satisfaction he gives to my body, or all his cheap and disgusting seductions, or even from him taking me to beautif
I stood up and the scream I let out represented my consciousness. Finally, what I feared happened.I called his name and he stopped, and some guy in black pulled him away from Reagan who was lying on the floor. I stepped closer to Reagan, gaping as I stared at his face which was covered in purple bruises and gore on the corner of his left lip, nose and jaw. I almost dropped to my knees to help him but a hand pulled me hard until my back hit the hard chest behind me."Are you fucking crazy?" I rebelled and looked at Reagan who was barely awake.Rhysand didn't say anything, and pulled me away from Reagan by grabbing my hand and forcing me to move until I almost dropped my wallet and phone which were in my coat pocket."Keep quiet, or I'll do more than this to him." His words were dark and sharp.I couldn't answer or fight him, all I could do was stare at Reagan who sat and looked at me with an expression of helplessness and anger.>>>The car he was driving was engulfed in a dark silenc
Rhysand really didn't hurt me, like what he said earlier.But he punished me in another way.A way I could barely resist, and more like the pleasure that was so deep inside me.We making love.Hard, and rough.And he is so greedy that all I do is become a submissive party under him. I was unable to do anything and it lasted until late afternoon, where dusk was already gracing the beautiful New York winter sky. I sleep on my side, and Rhysand is behind me. He hugged me tightly and put his face on the nape of my neck.I'm so tempted to drown myself in this thick blanket, and sink into the arms of the giant man behind me but I'm thirsty, and hungry, and it forces me to move. I sat up on the bed and almost staggered back because Rhysand's arms were tugging at me. Clucking, I let go of his hands."Go back to sleep, Princess."I snorted. "I'm starving." I answered hoarsely, and my throat felt dry. Realizing what was causing it... my face warmed up."Where is your voice?" he asked, opening o
Everything Tommy said fell by the wayside as I entered Gabriella's bedroom.The slightly taller woman was asleep on top of her brown bed, her face completely pale, and a sight escaped. Holding my breath and feeling my heartbeat increase with worry, I stepped towards her slowly trying not to disturb her sleep. I looked down at her and touched her forehead with the back of my other hand. She has a fever. Straightening up, I started to walk outside, called my family doctor, and made a compress for her.The feeling of guilt grew when I pressed the towel against her forehead, seeing how pale Gabriella's face was. We have been friends since freshman year of college. Both of us came from other countries and struggled through a culture shock that was so strong in America. Become a place to complain when we are tired of college assignments or even about men. Gabriella was very open and all of that changed slowly when college ended.She was focused and deeply immersed in her restaurant business
