Carrie
For a moment the only sound in the quiet dark hallway is the sound of us breathing heavily. My mind scrambles to put answers together when he turns me to face him.
There’s a dark shadow cast on him from the lack of light but I could easily see the anger in those eyes of his.
“Who was that man?” he repeats and I don’t make any move to answer him. I didn’t even owe him an explanation.
He shook me furiously “Goddamn it Carrie, who was that man and why were you sneaking around with him?” he yelled, despite the fact that anyone could come out at the moment and see the both of us in this awkward situation.
“What’s it to you?” I finally say when I find my voice.
My words have a certain effect on him because he releases me from his hold and pushes me away.
“You’ve been seeing someone else this entire time haven’t you?” his voice is strained “That was why

It takes more than a busted lip and a swollen eye to get me away from Carrie’s body. The strong hands holding me drag me all the way to Mr. Zaverelli’s room and I don’t make it easy for them, I fight the entire way.The only let me go when we’re standing in front of the room and I stand up with a huff. If Carrie wasn’t in their mercy then I would have killed them all, every one of them that laid a hand on us both.I burst into the room, the door opening with a loud bang, Mr. Zaverelli is standing there, like he had been expecting me.“Well well, what do we have here?” he says, clicking his tongue.I stand to my full height, ignoring the pain that it caused my sides “You have to release her now!”He doesn’t seem put off by my yelling, it doesn’t even faze him. He just continues to sip on his drink like we were about to have casual conversation.“We don’t even know w

There’s a light touch on my cheek which slowly pulls me away from the unconsciousness that I was submerged in and I open my eyes slowly so the light in the room wouldn’t hurt them.I can’t see Don’s face with my head bowed but I can feel his presence. Why couldn’t he just listen to me and leave the boat.I wasn’t sure how many hours that has passed so it was impossible to tell just how much time was left to convince him to leave without me. I had to save him so he could keep my little Jenny safe from the cruel family she was born into.When his hand cupped my cheek I leaned into it, savoring his touch because it was potentially the last.I don’t let myself dwell in what could have been, only because I couldn’t feel anything. I wasn’t sure which drug Cassie had given me but it was really strong and I felt partially grateful because it made the torture I just went through more bearable for me.He
Unbinding Love Prologue
This day made me long for a home outside the walls of my house. Where I don’t have to pretend like I don’t exist, that everything is okay and that I love the silver tiara that is currently seated on my head. It’s funny how everyone surrounding and cheering me on did not notice my tears put out the candles before my breath found the courage to do so. Birthdays for other sixteen-year-olds was a total bliss but not even the lavish party thrown for me could drown my sorrow. I shove a large piece of cake into my mouth, moaning as the sweet velvet hit my taste buds. “You sound like a dying whale” my brother’s voice interrupts my inner turmoil making me groan. The last thing I needed was someone witnessing my mini breakdown. I love my brother very much, but this was bad timing. “Go away Thomas” I push him away sli

I looked at my dull brown eyes which was a result of the uncomfortable contact lens that I knew was a bad idea but wore them anyway. I was a person now and was going to look every bit of it. My now short hair hung down the side of my head in uneven waves just barely reaching my ears. I tucked in my crisp white shirt which was no doubt the cheapest in the building into my pants that must’ve seen better days. My phone kept ringing disrupting what was supposed to be a badass imagination of myself busting into the office that was on the floor above me and shooting my boss in the head. It would have been game over for everyone. Finally picking up the phone and connecting the call, I spoke “What is it Charles?”, Unable to conceal the irritation in my voice. I rummaged through my suitcase that was on the floor leaning into the side of my leg. I needed to make sur

His lips. They tormented me more than my father. The things I had felt in those few seconds always rattled my heart and made butterflies flutter in my stomach. But then I always remembered, his panic-stricken face after and the fact that he hated me, just like they all did. “I’m sorry” I said as I detangled myself from him and stood straighter, adjusting my tie in the process. He said nothing. He didn’t even acknowledge the fall or the awkward moment his arms had been wrapped around me. Maybe he did this often, letting his male personal assistants fall into his arms. It hit me then! A scandal, Don involved with his male assistant, a gay relationship. It would ruin a respectable family like his. The doors dinged when we got to the ground floor. I walked after him making sure to put a decent space between us. I’ll rather fall on my butt than into his hands again. &nb
Unbinding Love Carrie
The man whose name I later found out to be Gus looked at me with accusation in his eyes making my heart bump twice as fast. “You’re the one I saw in the elevator with Mr. Don…” he trailed off, seeming to forget exactly what he was trying so hard to remember. “Nice to see you” I said immediately and sat down, avoiding all eye contact. For a moment I thought he had recognized me from the days I had spent in the dark and done things I still dreamed of at night. He was about to say something when his friend nudged him, he huffed but didn’t look away from me. He could swear it wasn’t in the elevator he had first seen me, but I hoped on the big guy upstairs that he didn’t remember. “Order something, they have a really mean lasagna, you’ll love it” Frank said, I smiled and said thanks before picking up the menu casting G
Unbinding Love Don
I waited. My heart growing in doubt for a moment. If there was no reaction from him then I was in trouble because the vase was bound to hit him square in the face. I had the perfect aim. It was the split of a second as my heart jumped that he flipped and kicked the vase. His eyes sparkling with a lot of violence before he realized where he was and put his calm exterior back on. He was hiding something. “Seems like my calm assistant has a past of his own that he is trying to hide” I said, unable to hide the sneer from my voice. He said nothing which infuriated me even more. “There’s one thing you should know about me Car if you’re going to keep working here” I said, walking straight to him and keeping eye contact. “I hate fucking puzzles, there’s nothing I can’t figure out” I stood in front of him no
Unbinding Love Carrie
When I woke up the sun was barely up in the sky. But that wasn’t my problem, the pain that had me writhing was. I clutched my chest in pain, hitting it severally like it would automatically stop. The little cupboard by my beside had never seemed that far away until now. I stretched out my hand in agony and tried to get my pills, but my fingers only ended up brushing the edge of the cupboard. I tried to get up but only succeeded in falling back to the bed as something strong pulled at my chest almost suffocating me. This couldn’t be the end of me, I was yet to accomplish all the things that I wanted. Maybe I should’ve listened to Charles and gotten treatment but that would only post-pone the inevitable. I just need a few weeks at the most to get my revenge done and then death could lay its cold hands on me. I didn’t mind.
