Shadows of Deception Black and white.
~^~ I knew in my heart that leaving wouldn't have been the right thing to do. It probably was the wise thing, but not the right thing. I held myself up painfully and entered the house where I saw the lifeless body of Marc on the ground. He didn't deserve this. His son didn't deserve this. As best and respectfully as I could, I pulled and dragged the body out regardless if I was bleeding myself, and dragged him under the tree where his wife's grave was beneath. At that moment, I slumped to the ground. The feeling was numb and there was nothing I could do anymore. I hated it. I hated how helpless and how unfair this situation was. Part of me hated myself because I felt like this was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten involved with him, with anyone. Everyone I go to, I put them in danger. I never cried so much over a dead man's body. Literally. The sudden wash of anger and frustration swept across me giving me chills. It was painful. I felt cold and damp, my consciousness was slippin
Shadows of Deception Unexpected truth.
~^~ I wanted to say something to stop them right now but I didn't have the strength to. Besides, Daniel was upsetting me either way. “What is that supposed to mean?" “It means you've been nothing but a coward all this time. You ran away like the little boy you are, put your sister in danger, and let me remind you that you used me to get the damn folder." She venomously stated in her thick Russian accent. "I did what I had to do to keep everyone safe." “You mean yourself!" “Don't raise your voice." He stated. "I can do whatever the fuck I want to do. You don't get to tell me what to do! I trusted you, I loved you and you went behind my back, nothing was real. You're as disgusting as your actions." Moe whistled and threw some nuts at Daniel from the bed, "Boo hoo," he shamed him, “Shame on you." First, the fact that I just heard that Nadia was in a relationship with my brother would have explained why she seemed so familiar with my surname in the beginning, and secondly, I was
Shadows of Deception “What a Morbid life.”
~^~I felt like I was being sucked into the face of the earth at this very moment. Were they all on drugs? Was I being pranked right now? Am I dreaming? This couldn't be possible. Nadia stood near me almost as if she was steadyingme up but I turned to Archer who held a grave expression towards me.“This wasn't the way I wanted to tell you."I gave an unbelievably short laugh as a single tear rolled down my cheek but I wiped the dreadful thing away, "So is my name still even Becky?"“Katherine. Your real name is Katherine Devereux.” Archer confirmed.“When you saved her in the hotel, you gave her your necklace. I recognized it was a family heirloom and it was yours specifically, I just couldn't make the connection at the time." Moe stated to Archer, "I had thought Piranha knew and was hiding it until I realized the poor thing had no idea. My question is, who did you save her from? Why were those men after her because clearly, those weren't Sinister’s men.""I need to start from the
Shadows of Deception Emotional differences.
NOTE;(Extremely long thriller chapter) ;)~^~“What do you mean?"Archer tried to swallow the worry that plagued his face but he failed, “I fear Vincelli 's men might be here soon. We can't risk having another person dead and I won't lose you again."Turning away, I took a deep breath and quickly thought this was true. He was right, if Vincelli's men get here, we're all screwed. I won't let what happened to Marc to happen to anyone else. I won't run anymore. I've been a coward towards my feelings for far too long.I turned back and frowned towards Archer who towered before me as I convinced myself, “You're right. We can't put the others in danger. And well... you did save me once. I guess I owe this to you."Archer gave a short nod and a look of relief swept briefly across his face, "I have to make a Call.”At that moment, Nadia walked in as Archer walked towards the balcony, stumbling into each other.“Forgive me." He apologized as he steadied her up and for the first time, she held
Shadows of Deception Shadows…
~^~ The drive towards our destination felt like forever. Not that I know what forever feels like, I've barely hit my thirties but look at the shit that I was being hit with already. Sinister and Archer followed us behind since it had no space for them in our vehicle. Honestly, the pain was becoming unbearable by the second, so much so that I lost track of time. We stopped at an exquisite hotel. It wasn't that big nor was it small, but damn, it was something that shouldn't have been photographed and posted in a magazine to be admired. Crystal lights adorned the entire building as parts of the ground were paved in marble and river stones which oddly seemed to complement each other. The architect and designer of this place needed to be commended for their work. “Ah Miss Osenova!" an elderly man greeted us dressed in a rich gold suit, "I’m so happy to see you again, please make yourself and your friends comfortable. Our guests are treated like our family! If you need anything don't b
Shadows of Deception Beneath these shadows…
~^~ "Just open the door, Sinister." I sighed. “Becky, I had no idea of any of this." “Like you`ll say now that you weren't even aware that Marc's wife died and you took advantage of his memory loss of her death just for your selfish goals?" “Believe me or not but I was not aware Marc even had a wife. We weren't personal. All I was aware of was what my grandfather told me that Marc would assist me. As far as I knew, I thought he was just helping for the money he got out of that." "Well, Alexander, Grandpa lied to you. Still doesn't change anything, now open the door." He seemed reluctant so I grabbed the keys away and effortlessly failed and struggled to open the door until he held it over my hand and unlocked it holding the door open with a cryptic yet serious expression, "I'm sorry.”~*~ I locked myself in the bedroom to recollect my scattered emotions and thoughts. He deserved all that I told him after all that he did. Didn't he? A part of me hurt and that wasn't any of my
Shadows of Deception A letter…
~^~I sat at the table away from Sinister. Clearly, he didn't mean what he had told me. He couldn't possibly feel anything for me. It was not that long until Moe and Nik came back as Nadia and Archer followed behind.“I brought dinner. And by dinner, I mean lots of comfort food because we all need comfort in any form we can get." Nik smiled.“Why so quiet, Piranha?" Moe asked, noticing my silence.“James has the folder. What if it's a trap? What if they trick him into meeting them because he thinks that Violet is in danger? What if they hurt him?" “Becky, your friend is going to be okay." Archer calmed me, “We'll find him." “He was right there. I saw him, he was at the motel. And I just- I couldn't-"“It's not your fault, Jamie knows how to handle himself," Moe assured me.Sinister’s eyes locked onto mine and I could feel my tears building up, "I'm going to meet Daniel downstairs."I didn't want anyone to see how broken I felt as my pain was seeping through my presence. Taking the
Shadows of Deception Wrongdoings…
~^~I was about to take a step down the staircase but slipped and slipped into his arms. Sinister seemed to want to say something but didn't or rather it seemed like he couldn't. And for the first time, I saw pain in his face. He seemed drained and perplexed and tired as he held me but somehow didn't let go. Something was wrong.“Sinister-"“Be careful," He tried to smile. "Who's going to catch you when I'm not around, Angel?"Before I could have said a word to him, Nikolai touched him on the shoulder, "Let's go.Sitting in the van, I looked out of the tiny window at the back as we drove. The night felt empty and like a great nothingness captured every essence of the living now dead earth as a fragile string of hope seemed to drift across with the glides of the tender wind."Here," Archer gave me the gun, "I believe this was yours."Taking it dryly without an expression to spare he looked at me worriedly, "I promise you, Becky, you'll be safe. As long as I'm alive and even when I'm d
