My eyes lingered on Ember's unconscious face. Her lips were pale and bluish and her palms cold. I would've thought she'd died if not for her chest which kept rising and falling as she breathed. “Why are hands this cold?” I muttered, trying to warm them up by exhaling on them, trying to use the warmth from my mouth to heat them up a little. The sun cast a golden yellow light in the room. It's as if the sun knew my worries and was gloomy too. I once more looked at Ember, I truly admire her bravery and sincerity. She went as far as letting someone who wanted her dead to heal by drinking her blood… “How can I stop loving a softie like you?” I smiled, brushing her hair to the side. As much as I felt gratitude towards Ember, I couldn't help but doubt Rihanna's intentions. Why would she suck on Ember knowing fully well that Ember was with a child? That truly looks fishy to me. But then, like Lana said; “there is a purpose for everything” so let me trust Lana's
Shit! Shit! Shit!Everything I planned just went down the drain all because of that darned witch, Ember. How on earth was she able to wake up after I took almost half of her blood? I made sure that as I sunk my teeth inside her, I took more than what I needed because I knew how strong she was and yet she woke up?At the worst timing for that matter! How could she ruin everything?!I just had him..right at the tip of my finger, he was just about to kiss me and go further when she walked in.I cursed again and let out a low groan as I still knelt on the floor where I was before she left with Sebastian.What on earth was her deal with him anyway? She seemed so obsessed with him because how does someone already pale and looking like she might die anytime soon walk from where she was to this cave all because she wants to go take him from me?Ever since she came, there have been so many disputes between Sebastian and me.I sighed and stood up from the ground, cleaning my knee as I stood.S
I opened my eyes slowly to find Sebastian sleeping beside me. A slight smile escaped my lips as I saw the folded skin on his forehead. I slowly used my hands to straighten out the folded skin but his eyes flared and opened “You’re awake?” He sat up and placed a kiss on my forehead “Yap…” I said “And I'm strong now…” he smiled “Alright let me get you breakfast” he said “Breakfast in bed? Wait you prepared it yourself” he nodded “But wait you were asleep a while ago” I looked at him with wide eyes as the maids brought the breakfast. “I woke up before you tho…” he came to sit beside me “Aww! Thank you baby” I took a bite from the bacon and a smile crept up my lips. “That's nice…” I placed a kiss on his lipsAs we ate our breakfast, the tension between us kept growing. His eyes never left mine all through, his eyes lingered with unspoken feelings and I was already getting hot under his gaze. I knew he wanted to talk about Rihanna's actions the night bef
I've never felt so happy standing closer to Rihanna than I did right now. Her smile and laughter were so genuine, she acted so genuine, friendly and nice that it wasn't for Sebastian's body being corrupted with Black magic, we wouldn't have been able to know if she did anything bad to us.I felt so relieved and happy. Maybe this was the mission Lana was talking about, her mission was probably to make Sebastian and I get closer to each other and it was working.Ever since she pushed open our bedroom this morning, Sebastian has been so loving, especially since she told him that she knew that we were meant for each other."You're smiling brightly," Her voice interrupted me and I turned to face her, my smile spreading."Of course I am. I'm just so happy."She smiled and patted my hair lightly. I felt a little tug and it felt like a strand of my hair left my hair but it was probably her nails.Ever since she tampered with black magic, the repercussion was her nails and the colour of her e
I looked at Rihanna intently waiting for her reply. She kept switching glances as she tried to avoid the question “Can we go dancing tonight?” She asked, clearly trying to avoid the question “Rihanna, I'm not a baby who can easily get distracted by crazy stuff like dancing. I asked you a question, why don't you want to tell me?” I asked “I heard Lana told you not to bug me about that…” “That was when you were still crazy but now we're becoming close and you're becoming more open, you can tell me” I urged but she didn't budge “I promise not to let anyone know about you telling me…” “Not even Seb?” She asked and I nodded. Her eyes still held doubt but I saw a glimpse of tiredness in her eyes…if I just pressed on, she might spill. “Rihanna tell me, tell me please…I'll do whatever you want if you tell me” She finally gave a faint sigh and said; “Well…you are…” “Hey babe what are you doing here?” Sebastian cut in from behind us. I sighed in frustr
Darn it! Rihanna has a way of getting on my nerves. She might have changed but that doesn't mean her sharp mouth has also.I was walking around the mansion, close to Ember's door when I heard two voices murmuring.At first, I didn't want to go and listen but as I walked forward, I heard Ember's frustrated sigh and I stopped.The voices murmured again and I moved closer only to hear Rihanna say something."But I heard Lana told you not to bother asking me."My eyes widened as I realized what they were talking about. I stood for some seconds at the door, hoping Rihanna wouldn't say anything but I was wrong.Just as she was about to tell Ember who she was, I walked in and stopped her.I could tell that Ember was mad at me for coming in and she was suspicious of the fact that I always stop her from hearing about who she is from Rihanna but I have no other choice.I can't risk her finding out things that I don't want her to, things I'm also not ready to find out about.She kept on trying t
What's going on? The beam beaconed me and I picked up the book, but why? Why isn't it opening?I sighed with frustration and tried to force it open but it was almost as if it was shut with the hands of a giant which made it so hard to open.My nails ached and I immediately withdrew my hands from the book, glaring at it with disbelief.The book is about me! It's my damn story so why on earth can't I open it? Shit! I have to hurry, Sebastian might wake up soon and realize that I'm not with him in the room, he might also guess where I am and immediately come to me.I don't want that.The book is my only key to finding out who I am exactly and then this happens?? Gosh...fate is being unfair to me.Why can't I just find out about everything once and for all? The way Rihanna described it to Seb when I was peeping in on them, it seems like my real identity is quite dangerous, either that or she was just being dramatic.But the only way to find out is by opening the darned book that refus
The ladies looked at each other for a while before disappearing into thin air. What the actual fuck are they? I quickly dropped the book on the shelf and ran to hide behind the shelf. On second thought, I decided to collect it from the shelf before going to hide…oh my goodness! I hope he doesn't trace my scent “We already masked you scent, he can only smell that you were in this room but cannot trace your smell to where you're hiding” I heard a distant whisper “No…no…no” I could hear Seb whisper as he entered the room. The room was quiet after that and I could only hear his sniffing. It's so unfortunate that I couldn't see his reaction from where I hid. “I told you it was too la…what!” I heard Rihanna's voice “What is it?” Seb asked, I could sense the eagerness in his voice “Damn! She hasn't opened the book yet! Why?!” Rihanna said, she was obviously fuming and I could tell from the tone of her voice “Oh…” he sighed “I initially thought the same thing
