Insomnia.......It’s been three days since I had a decent sleep. I can’t concentrate, I can’t communicate with anyone, I can’t even participate in anything. It’s like my mind wants to be shut off of anything and everything. Yep, I’m going into a deep depression and the best thing is I’m all alone. I didn’t see my mom since Monday and it is Friday today. God, I just want to stay asleep and never wake up ever again.Ugh, is it that time of the month? Damn you, periods. That’s why I hate being a girl; though it’s early for that torture....... ugh I need to get up.I rolled over the bed and kicked like a little kid, but because I knew it’s the last day of the week, I thought it’s better to get it over with.God, I hate high school, so much drama, and hormones. Yep, it’s all about hormones. I chuckled lowly. I’m sulking, and it’s only 6 in the morning. It is going to be a LONG day, man...... I hate my life.I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and didn’t bother to tame my ha
“Seriously, Rine. I’m not in the mood for clubbing right now. Besides, I look awful.” I said while she dragged me to the kitchen to ask Daniel for permission to leave early. I wasn’t kidding about looking awful. My eyes were puffy and red, my face was swollen and has traces of tears, my nose was blocked. I was a walking mess.“Actually, this is the perfect time for clubbing because you feel like shit, so we need to fix it.“ She chirped happily, still dragging me.I huffed and cursed her in my head. She’s a stubborn bitch, I know it’s done, I’m going, like it or not.“Not to mention that I don’t have any ‘ Dresses ‘ to wear, heck I don’t even have a simple sundress.” I said annoyed, saying dress sarcastically.“Don’t worry boo I got your back, and actually I bought you a sexy dress as a birthday gift, and girl you are damn lucky to have me as a best friend because this is going to be perfect.” She squealed.We entered the kitchen, and Daniel smiled, greeting us.“Wh
I groaned and closed my eyes tighter to block the light; I tried to use my arm as a shield, but I couldn’t. There was something heavy preventing me from moving. I groaned again, annoyed, but then I felt the little movement of a warm body next to me. Opening my eyes slowly, I looked down at that warm body. It was her, Ariel. She was sleeping peacefully snuggled at my side. Half of her body was above mine, her right arm around my torso, her right leg between my long legs, my right arm holding her tightly closer to my body. I used my left hand to brush some curls away to be able to see her beautiful face; she sighed and snuggled even closer. I smiled and searched for my alarm clock to check the time. 09:00 Am! I slept more than 8 hours?! That’s a first. I looked back at Ariel’s serene face again and remembered yesterday’s events. It was a hectic day, no doubt. After coming back from the Vegas meeting, I was discussing the new secur
I finished quickly and headed to the second floor to see what kind of information did Leo get.I didn’t forget what happened yesterday, even though I look composed and calm, but deep inside I was seething. I can’t believe something like that happened in my club, to my Ariel. My Ariel?!Since when did I consider her mine?Since you gave her your necklace and marked her as yours ... I still don’t get it. Why did I do that? It’s like another me did that. I snorted. It’s true. It’s the other you alright, the beast inside you wanted her and when it wants anything, it just gets it. But why her? She’s eighteen, for God’s sake! Does it matter? She’s your woman now. Your beast claimed her as his... as yours.My beast.....Cerberus.......My mother gave me that name since I was a little kid saying that I have the soul of a beast, a hellhound, Cerberus, the mythical dog that guards the underworld, Hell.When did I ask my father why Cerberus?She said because I am like h
I sat on the bed for a while after Mr. Stranger left, still trying to comprehend what’s going on. I still don’t understand. What am I doing here? Or How I came here? I groaned and fell back on the bed; it was soft and tender and so freaking big wow.I turned on my stomach and inhaled deeply, and sighed. Yes, this is his smell. I still remember it perfectly. Though it started to fade back home, his masculine scent, mixed with his cologne, surrounded me like a safe cocoon. I rolled on the bed like a happy cat having her first dose of catnap. His scent made me feel high.I knew it was weird. I should be panicking right now because hello I wake up in a stranger’s bed, a dangerous one at that. But all I felt was safe and protected. Besides, he’s my stranger, so bite me if you don’t like it.I walked to the door he just entered before he left and found his walk-in closet and what I saw made me gap like an idiot. It was huge, bigger than our house, and has everything a man needs;
After I made sure that Ariel was safe at her home and there was no one lurking around it, I headed back to the mansion. I have some serious interrogation to do; I need to know who was that asshole harassing my Ariel and why he chose her from all the girls in the club. I mean I get it; she was so beautiful in her innocent way, so vibrant and so alive. Every soul in that club noticed her even, me, the coldest asshole. There, her heat and light draw me like a moth to the flames, but still why, especially her. There were so many women there ready to go for a one-night stand.I pinched the bridge of my nose and got out of the car. Everyone was busy doing their job, and as usual, Theo and Leo were waiting for me in my office.“So your girl is safe at home?” the smugness of Leo’s face irritated me.I ignored him as usual and faced my third after sitting behind my desk.“He till refuses to talk.“ I asked with a calm voice, unlike the storm that was raging inside me.“Yes sir,
I was so happy today. My heart felt light and carefree. The old couple's celebration was a joyful event and a hopeful one too. It gave me hope that maybe one day I will be lucky to have that kind of love. The love that goes beyond age, time and whatever life might throw at you. The two looked so much in love, even though it has been years and years. Even though one of them sometimes forgot the other, still their love didn’t change or fade away. And also today, for the first time, I sang in front of people I knew, yes we are not that acquainted, but still, I did something out of my comfort zone.I took the books that were left on the tables with a huff. Some people don’t have the decency to return them back to the shelves. We are not your slaves here.I sorted them out and put everything in the right place, but when I was about to return to the tables again, I was pushed back harshly towards one of the shelves.“Ouch, what the hell.” I didn’t finish my complaint. I was t
When we arrived at the mansion, Ariel was a little calmer. I know she was shocked; she felt betrayed by her closest friends. But still, I can’t wipe the triumphant glow deep inside me; yes I was happy not because she got her heartbroken. But because now she knew the truth about that Jap bastard, the way he looked at her and how he treated her as if she belonged to him was getting under my skin. I was this close to lose control and kill him and screw the consequences. Ariel is mine and I will be damned if I let that boy take her from me. It doesn’t matter if she loved him or not; it doesn’t matter if she wanted to be with him; it doesn’t fucking matter if she doesn’t love me. All that mattered was she belonged to me. At that moment I had only one thought: eliminate the threat, protect what is yours, yes at that moment I was the beast everyone claimed........ No everyone knew that I was. I helped her out of the car and into the mansion. Leo was there waiting for us. When she s
