Blair played with her nimble fingers, drowned in thought while sitting in front of Raiden. He tapped his foot as he patiently waited for her answer. She had stopped him from leaving by saying that she had something to talk about. However, she kept her mouth shut which made him wonder about her actions. "Blair?" He snapped his fingers in front of her face. "What is it? Is everything okay with you?" He inquired with worry. "Y-Yes of course. What's going to happen to me?" She suttered, ending her sentence with an awkward hehe. She checked her phone repeatedly, waiting for Jessica's signal. She was preventing him from going home. That was her role for that evening. Since the rest were busy with other preparations, she couldn't let him leave until Jessica texted her saying everything was ready. "Let's talk. About anything. I don't remember the last time we had a friend to friend conversation." She made an excuse, but it was based on truth. She wanted them to go back how they were before
Stephanie dragged herself to the nearest room and quietly shut the door. A housekeeper around, searching for the culprit behind the broken vase. All the people were gathered in the living room, so what caused the vase to fall and break? Not being able to find anyone, she concluded the wind to be the miscreant and went back to assist the rest. Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps fade away in distance. Lucky for her, the housekeeper didn't notice the drops of blood that had stained the floor, dripping from her sole. She put a hand over her mouth to stop herself from wailing in pain as she pulled the piece of glass from her heel. She had to stay there, without making any noise until everyone left. ...Raiden took a quick glance at his watch while focusing on the road ahead. It was almost midnight. With Blair, time seemed to fly away like wind. He didn't pay vigilance until his phone reminded him that it was his time to go to bed. They had been talking for ho
Jessica saw a girl curled up in a corner of her room with back facing towards her. There were blood stains on the floor, indicating someone was dragged in there. "Who are you?" Jessica questioned, trying to sound brave. However, she couldn't stop the quiver in her voice. A stranger was in her room in middle of the night and blood was smeared on the carpet. It was enough for her to feel terrified. Without waiting for an answer, she sprinted out, back to the living room. "What happened?" Raiden held her shoulder to calm her down when she breathlessly entered the hall. All four of them gather around her, curious behind the reason of her state. "That is someone in my room, there was blood!" She managed to speak. Not letting her speak further, Raiden ran towards her room. Calvin followed him, leaving the three people alone. Their hammered state melted away within just few minutes. Blair rubbed her back while Aaron held her from the side. Raiden slammed with the door open and carefully l
Blair slammed her phone on the couch, holding a triumph smile on her face. Britney really thought she could threaten her to bail her brother out of jail. Blair wanted to laugh at her and slap some sense in her head at the same time. Calvin, who had been sitting next to her and listening to their conversation, clapped his hands proudly. "That was so hot!" He commented, throwing her a wink. She's shifted closer to him, held both of his hands and jumped in her place. "This feels so good." She giggled, feeling giddy with the sudden adrenaline rush. Her tummy was swarming with butterflies. She couldn't stop moving, going up and down on the mattress. Britney's sudden call had left her dumbfounded. She froze for a second, not knowing what to say when she threatened to expose her secret. She felt what any person would have, in her shoes. Fear. Fear of disappointing her loved ones. Fear of not being accepted. Fear of losing people. The phone begun to shake in her grip. Seeing her petrified
People stood up as a sign of respect when they saw Martha walking through the building's corridor. They smiled and greeted their boss' wife. However, she ignored all the welcoming faces and kept her eyes straight, not stopping anywhere before she reached her husband's office. Aaron called her out, feeling confused by her unexpected visit. But he was ignored too. Mr Park was surprised. He left his chair to greet her good afternoon. He went to ask her the reason behind her sudden arrival. Martha's peripheral vision noticed Mr Park. However, she did not pay any mind to him. She didn't have time for whatever he was trying to say. She didn't even stop to look at Aaron, there was no way she would spare even a second for Mr Park. She had a big news in her hands. Something that would turn everything upside down. Receiving the news, she had the most believable reaction that anyone would have hearing such information. Eyes as big as saucer pans and mouth hanging wide open. Though she was left
The Halls of Andrew mansion seemed unusually quiet to Blair. She was used to the silence since the huge place was occupied by only few people. However, something was off the day. The air seemed too tense. Something was wrong. She could sense it. "I'm sorry." Hearing that from Mr Park had left her in a worried state. He had called her over to the mansion as soon as possible. She clutched the wine bottle safely in her palms. She had bought it for their dinner, but sensing the grave atmosphere, she was convinced that the dark red liquid would not see the night. She saw Mr Park standing outside her uncle's study. His hands were clasped together and head was hanging low. There was some sort of trouble, she could guess from his posture. She tried talking to him, but instead of listening to her, he just pointed his thumb towards the study, motioning her to go inside. She obeyed his wishes by leaving him alone in the long corridor. "You heard what Park said. She knew about this but still ch
"What are you doing up so late?" Raiden asked when he saw Stephanie in the kitchen past midnight. She chuckled nervously when she saw him standing in front of her with no shirt on. She turned her head north to avoid him from seeing her flaming face. He frowned at her gesture. "Are you alright? Your face is-" he tried to lean and touch her forehead but she abruptly pushed him away. He felt her hands touch his best chest as he stumbled backwards. 'Wait, bare chest?' He realised what just happened and stepped away. He began to apologize proposely. He had no intention of appearing in front of her like that. He often wondered shirtless at night in his house and he did not expect to see her there at that time. "I couldn't sleep, so I found something to do." She turned around and attempted to chop some strawberries. One thing that she had noticed about him, was that he loved strawberries. She often saw him snacking on them. She wanted to slice them prettily and present to him. It was just
"What are you doing!" Jessica exclaimed in annoyance for the nth time, using her back to push away Aaron as her hands were coated with marination which she had prepared for the chicken. He stumbled backwards due to the force. He put both of his hands up in a defensive position. "I am just trying to help you." He fortified himself. She narrowed her eyes at him and pointed at the pan that was clutched in his hand. "Did I say I wanted that?" She raised a brow in questioning manner. He shook his head and put the pan on the counter. "I just thought you might need it, so I prepared myself." He replied with an innocent smile and blinked his lashes. She heaved a deep sigh at his response. She could not even be angry at him because he was just so adorable. He walked closer to her and held her shoulders with head hanging low. "I just don't feel good that you are doing all the hard work and I am of no help." He admitted. She placed her palms on either side of his face and pressed soft peck on
