“Rune.” I say the moment I enter the house.“Rune!” I scream whilst walking up the stairs. “What is it Aurelia, I’m in my room.” He responds.I stop in my tracks when I notice Kane walking in front of me, his hands are in his pockets while he stares directly behind me. As if he's trying to avoid eye contact. And as usual he’s in a suit.I squint my eyes at him and stand directly in front of him. He stops walking and finally looks directly at me. “Move.” He says while staring at me.“Why have you been ignoring me?” I ask and immediately regret because now I feel like a desperate geek.He ignores my question and tries to sidestep me but I just move along with him still refusing to let him pass.“I do not like games Aurelia, I have a meeting to attend.” “You didn’t seem to mind playing games when you were beneath me just a couple of weeks ago-”Kane interrupts me by using his hand on my neck.He pushes me to the corner of the stairs. My hands immediately wrap around his hands, choking
“It’s odd to me.” Rune says. “What’s odd to you?” “The fact that mom never told us Elena knew your mom when all this time she knew about them being friends.” Rune says whilst walking down the stairs. After the talk with his mom. I changed and decided to wear a floral gown since Kane said his dad likes class. It’s light pink with red roses on it. “I don’t think she cared enough to mention it. Especially since it had to do with me.” I say whilst watching my steps. Once we reached the bottom of the stairs, Rune tells me he noticed how I dressed and that I shouldn’t have listened to Kane. And that Who cares what his sorry excuse of a father will say. I loved the reassurance, but a part of me feels like Kane didn’t want his dad to insult me because it’d piss him off. Or maybe I’m being delusional. We finally reach the car outside. Kane was already waiting for us in the car. I can’t see through the windows of the car because they are all black. I badly wanted to see his reaction to
“To say it shocked me when I found out my step sons were your step brothers would be an understatement.” “How come you didn’t know who my father married after moms death?” “I didn’t care enough to find out. But I had no idea it would be my husbands children.” “Why didn’t he tell you?” “He doesn’t talk much about his past. But you know us women, some things we find out on our own.” Elena and I are presently strolling around their garden outside. Their backyard has a big garden full of different flowers, trees and pathways. She had decided to show me the garden before heading to the lounge. “So when I found out you lived in that house. I was discombobulated.” Elena says while touching a lily. “It’s really getting sunny now. You mind us going in?” I ask but only because I want to ask her questions when I’m face to face with her whilst sitting. “Sure.” We go back inside the house and I could swear I hear cursing coming from the living room five times before Elena and I even
I may not like Emaine. But I wouldn’t be happy with anyone going through that kind of abusive relationship, the fact that Elena is talking about it so casually makes me want to vomit. I didn’t even realize I stood up. No wonder she stopped talking mid sentence. “Do you think what Richard did was right just because he didn’t love Emaine, actually no to hell with his feelings he’s the one that chose to marry her. Do you truly believe there’s nothing wrong with what he did?” “Well since she’s not his love then yes, I was happy when I found out the things he did to her and his sons through court documents since he refused to tell me himself. He didn’t want me to see him as a monster. And I knew he’d never have done any of that if I was the one with him.” Bile rises to my throat and I immediately want to leave. I don’t even say anything, I just start walking towards the door. “Where are you going?” Elena asks so casually as if she did not just say the most outrageous shit. My face sh
The ride back home was one of the best things that happened to me today. Aurelia's hair was a mess and she was angry throughout the ride. She refused to talk to me. My office door opens. “There you are, I was looking for you, where did you go? And where's Rune?” My mom asks with a confused look on her face. “I was busy, I don’t know where Rune is.” “Then Why did I see the three of you go out together?” “So you saw us and you're still asking?” “Only because that witch was with you guys.” I ignore her and continue using my laptop. It’s been a few hours since Aurelia and I were in the car? She ran up to her room once we arrived and my room is unfortunately still a mess. I sleep in the guest room. I was researching on Leonard and trying to gain more information about the 12 strokes of midnight club before my mom entered. There were a couple of alcohol bottles on my table that are now completely empty, I needed to forget about my conversation with Richard. I hear the seat i
I wake up feeling like I’m on a hard but soft surface, but it’s so comfortable I just keep moving on it. I never knew my bed could be this comfortable. Maybe a little bit too comfortable. I decide to open my eyes and Kane's face is the first thing I see. I’m about to scream but the thoughts of yesterday come back to me. How did I even end up on top of him? I carefully lift myself off of him and check the time. It’s 5am, no wonder the suns barely risin. Emaine will probably be in my room by 7am telling me to wake up, hopefully by then Kane will be awake. I wish today was Wednesday. I stare at his sleeping face. He looks so cute, even when he's sleeping he has a poker face, just softer. I check the mirror and notice how much of a mess I look like, I check my drawer for the phone I sneakingly bought a few days after Emaine had taken my original phone. It’s this same phone I bought that I got an email from. I pull the phone out and check if there are any other Emails from an unkn
I wake up to a harsh knocking sound near my ear. It’s like someone’s trying to wake me up. The moment I pull my head up I remember where I am. It’s a bar I usually go to when I want to get wasted. There’s a man that’s talking to me but I can’t hear anything he’s saying. He’s probably telling me I slept here and it’s time to leave. I stand up but immediately almost collapse, the man talking helps me stand properly and hands me a cup of water. I take it and clear my eyes. Everything is clearer and I’m coming back to my senses now though I still have a strong migraine. “Hey?” I can finally hear the man talking.“Hey, wassup?” I respond.“I just say you on TV, I was wondering if that’s you.”“Yea, Im a musician, it’s probably one of my concerts.” “But what I saw was on the news. Check your phone.”The news? What does he mean by that. I pull out my phone and the first thing I see is hundreds of notifications. I enter Instagram and see a bunch of comments on a photo. I click open the p
I’ve never been in such a dilemma before. I’m presently in my car with Rune. We had to plan and strategize the way we would infiltrate ourselves into the building. We thought of speaking with Elena first which is where we are presently headed. The car is quiet which I like, for once Rune seems to be in his own mind. We finally reach and we both get out of the car. The door seems to be opened so we just get in. “Elena! We need to speak to you!” Rune shouts as we go up stairs. “Dad!” I yell. “Is it me you're looking for?” We both turn around and see Elena smiling up at us from down stairs. “Do you always leave your door open?” Rune asks and starts going down. “Actually, no, your dad just stepped out a few minutes ago. So to what do I owe this pleasure?” I wait till we all sit on the couch before I speak. “Do you really not know what brought us here?” “Do I look like I read minds-” “You are on social media are you not?” “Oh, that. But how does that have anything to
