Chapter 17
Epilogue
Grace
Thursday morning, I welcomed my parents at the airport, extremely glad that I didn’t see a third figure with them.
My mom had medium length blonde hair and eyes a darker shade of blue with a slender built. My father was the one with the brunette hair and green eyes that Tory and I had inherited. He stood over 6feet 4 and was almost as tall as Daniel.
I felt myself shiver as I thought about what I was about to do. For now, I had my left hand tucked away safely so that neither of my parents gets to see the huge diamond on my ring finger.
“Grace!” My father smiled as he pulled me into a bear hug. “I knew you’d be busy this year so we came over instead. I hope we didn’t trouble you too much.”
“Absolutely not dad, you’re always welcome here.” I told him as I went over to hug mom. “Come on then, let’s head home.”
“Honey, home is back in Clovefield, not Los Angeles.” My mother reminded

Enigma Synopsis: Enigma; a person or thing that is mysterious and difficult to understand. A mystery; a paradox; a puzzle. Event Planner and boss of her own little company, Kendra Millar is all that and more. She lives life on her own terms, does what she wants, how she wants and when she wants. She’s like the wild winds of a stormy night that you can see but can’t touch. But no one really knows who the real Kendra Millar is, not even her closest friends. Only one man had come dangerously close to knowing her and she’s pushed him away with all her might. Victor Summers might be the baby of the family, but he’s seen what even his sister had failed to notice. From the instant he’d laid eyes on Kendra Crazy Millar, he’d known she was the one.

Chapter 19: Once BurnedKendra's P.O.V:I knew this was inevitable, that there was no way I could escape this, but it was still a punch to the gut seeing him standing right in front of me and yet, so far away.Victor, Tory Summers.My best friend Grace’s younger brother, the baby of their family. But that baby had grown up a long time ago, had more intuition than most people I’ve met, age no bar. And it was also why I’d made sure he would never come close to me, ever again.He’s changed over the last two years. His hair was darker, the golden streaks in them more prominent, just like his older sister’s; his jaw squarish with defined cheekbones and broad shoulders. As a matter of fact, he look exactly like Grace now; same hair, same eyes, except for the fact that he towered over us with his six feet two height, but still ended up being shoulder length to Grace’s ginormus boyfriend

Chapter 20: Twice OwnedKendra’ P.O.V:I felt my back hit a wall as I felt a hard, muscular body press against mine. Instinctively, I raised my knee to bash in his balls...that is until I met eyes of startling green looking back at me.My heart nearly burst out of my chest.“I’m going to move my hand, but if you scream, I’ll kiss you.” That threat held a stream of wickedness which I didn’t know he had in him.“What are you doing Tory?” I asked through gritted teeth as soon as he removed his hand.He made a face at me. “My sister calls me Tory; I’d prefer Victor from you.”“Why,” I gave him a loopside smile that I knew men loved, while at the same time I gently moved my hands up his sides. I saw him give an involuntary shudder and felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. “Does that make you feel older...kiddo?”

Chapter 21: SchemesVictor’s P.O.V:I pulled up my zipper and righted my T-shirt before I came out of the alley, but I didn’t go too far from it. I crossed the road on a red light and stood on the opposite side of the road, hiding just behind a wall that divided two shops which were now closed. And I watched.It took ten minutes but Kendra got out of the alley in one piece and then she hailed an oncoming cab and got into it, the cab moving out of sight a few moments later. I felt myself calm down a bit, knowing that she was safe.What I just did might seem like a dickish move, but everything’s not always as it seems. Two years ago, when my older sister had graduated from college, she’d brought her two friends Kendra and Tatiana. Kendra was three years older than me, but the attraction had been instant. They’d stayed over for two weeks and in that time, Kendra and I had gotten very close, to t

Chapter 22: SuspiciousGrace’s P.O.V:“You know, I could just hire people to do this work, right?” Daniel grumbled as he placed the dirty dishes inside the dishwasher.“Yes, I know that,” I said. “But then it won’t feel so...domestic.” That just felt like the right thing to say.“Domestic?” Daniel’s eyebrows disappeared into his hairline before an evil grin spread on his lips. “Alright, then let’s do something elsedomestic.”“Like whaaaa-“my comment ended in a yelp as Daniel scooped me up in his arms and headed straight for the bedroom before diving on the bed with me still in his arms, effectively landing on top of me. “Owww! Daniel, get off me, you’re too heavy!”“Really?” Daniel asked as he straddled my waist and raised himself up on his elbows with his hands on eith

Chapter 23: New Love?Kendra’s P.O.V:“You know you’re acting totally weird, right?” Grace asked me as we parked in front of Grace’s old apartment.“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”I told her a little too quickly as I unbuckled the seat belt. “Besides, this apartment belongs to your brother now, it’ll be weird if I just waltz in and start taking stuff out of the closet. He’ll probably think I’m stealing.”“Why on Earth would he think that?” Grace said as we both got out of Grace’s new car, a present courtesy of Mr. Daniel Italiano. “You’re my best friend and Tory knows that we often had sleepovers in each other’s place.”“So you gossip about us with your brother?” I wondered what else had Grace told him about us...about me. Most probably, by now he thinks I’m a slut.

Chapter 24: Thrice TrickedKendra’s P.O.V:“Hey, pretty lady. Can I buy you a drink?”I turned my head sidewise to look at the guy who just made that comment. Dyed blonde hair gelled back to give a sleek look, hazel eyes and a pretty face. The man was wearing blue denims with a white t-shit and a black leather jacket over it, and he seemed to have a nice physique. Normally, I’d take up the offer in an instant, but now I just raised my martini glass.“Thanks, but no thanks.” I told him politely.But he didn’t look the least bit offended. “Well, it was worth a try.” His smile seemed genuine enough, or maybe that was the alcohol. What was I on my fifth or sixth glass? But blonde guy wasn’t done talking. “I’m Jared, by the way,” he extended his hand. “And you are?”Normally, it would seem like a nice distraction; a hot guy

Chapter 25: Part of the PlanVictor’s P.O.V:I pulled the covers over Kendra’s sleeping form and sank into the bed next to her.Kendra looked peaceful when she slept, no signs of the demons that haunt her every waking second of the day. But I know she’s still aware of them, even now. Something keeps holding her back from truly committing to something and I plan to find that out exactly what that is. It’s very difficult to get Kendra to do something she doesn’t want to do and I’d pinned my hopes on the fact that she had felt at least a fraction of what I felt for her, because while we’d been together, it had been the best days of my life and I refuse to believe that I was the only one who’d felt something for Kenna. And the trick had worked. It proved that she still felt something for me.But I also know that no relationship can last based only on sex. It might have been enou
