A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 221- Kieran’s Hand
“After I got up from that mud… I didn’t know where else to go, so I went back…” I told Kristine, my voice sounding completely hollow but the sting was present.I stared at the wall, forced to relive the dark void that swallowed me that night.“The house was dead quiet. The blood was still on the carpet. Mama’s blood. My sister was gone. All that was left on the wall was the Sparrow Crest…”PAST:I stood in the middle of the dark hall with tears glistening on my cheek. My eyes overwhelmed by betrayal, my heart threatened to burst. I had nothing. No family to bury my mother. No sister to protect. No legion to stand behind me. No brother to share my grief. Dorian had cast me aside like garbage. I was hollow, an empty vessel breathing useless air in a world that had stripped me down to absolute zero.I fell to my knees right in the center of the living room, staring at the thick, dark crimson stain on the rug.“Mama…” I choked out, my shaky fingers extending to touch the blood, “I am s
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 220- Utterly Alone
ZAYNE’S POV******************After we cleaned ourselves up. I was lying on the bed on my stomach, unable to suppress the constant hisses of pain.In my desperation to mark her as mine, I had pulled a stitch—maybe two.‘Shit. Drake is going to be so fucking pissed.’“You didn’t even let me warn you.” Kristine muttered, changing my bandages with a frown I found adorable.“I was too busy to reclaim my dragon.” I chuckled huskily. Her frown deepened, and in her irritation, she unintentionally pulled the fresh bandage a little too tight over the wound. A gasp came from my throat, my body instinctively flinching away from her touch. “Argh—do it gently, wife,” I scolded, turning my head to shoot her a fake, pouting look. “How could you hurt your already hurt husband?”“You deserve more.”Her words instantly pissed me off, the lingering bitterness spiking again.“Oh? I do?” I turned slightly, furrowing my brows, “Who left me when I was fucking shot and in pain?”“Dorian… asked me to tru
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 219- Earning Forgiveness
My words were the only permission he needed to unleash his desires. I didn’t have time to catch my breath, let alone to think.Zayne’s mouth left mine only long enough for him to spin me around and throw me onto the bed. “Zayne–” My words were left hanging. I wanted to scold him for being so rash under his condition but his mind had stopped functioning at the moment.So did mine.For a moment, the moment of our first intimacy, on this very bed, flashed before my eyes. And it made me smile.“Do you remember–” Before I could plop on my elbows, he was over me, unbuttoning his shirt slowly, enjoying the sight. “Off.” He ordered. His eyes slowly dragged over my body. His command required my absolute obedience which I was happy to provide.I removed my shirt and pyjamas, left only in my undergarment, hungrily pulling the shirt down from his shoulders.I carefully ran my hand over his shoulder, loving how his body stiffened under my finger, leading it down to his belt.I began to unbuc
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 218- Patience Ending
Four. Fucking. Days.By the fourth day, I was panicking. My mind was unable to gain peace anywhere. The lack of interaction had led me to my edge. And Zayne? How could he survive without me? How could he spend a moment without talking to me?“I’m leaving today, Dorian! I don't care about your three-day timeline anymore!” I yelled, slamming my teacup onto the dining table.Dorian didn't even look up from his tablet, discussing an important deal with Antler.“You’re staying right here, Kristine.”Their nonchalance infuriated me more. “You…” I grabbed the teaspoon.“Don’t.” Antler and Dorian spoke at the same time, not lifting their eyes from the screen. They were well aware of my habits.“I have called that blue monster Saphira from your home. Hug it for now.” Antler teased, lifting his eyes at me with a joyous expression.“In fact, go and introduce her to your old dragon friends too. Go. Play.” Dorian added, returning a smirk too.Stop being hysterical, Kristine. You requested this
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 217- Uncertain
I wanted to trust Dorian. I truly did, but my very soul was relentless. Every ticking second away from the hospital felt like an excruciating punishment. My mind kept looping back to Zayne—his pale skin, his bloody state, the desperate crack before he blocked me. “Please recover quickly. Please be safe and sound.” I prayed to myself all night, curling like a ball with sorrowful eyes.I stared at the empty space beside me. I hated it. I hated how my hand instinctively reached out into the cold sheets, searching for his warmth, only to find absolutely nothing.“Looks like you cannot spend a heartbeat without your husband.” A knock appeared and I found Dorian leaning against the doorframe, observing my shallow form with a smile.“I cannot, Dorian.” I hummed in response, sitting up gradually and pushing my hair behind.“I have grown accustomed to him. I cannot spend a second without thinking of him.”“I can see that.” He sighed before approaching me and taking a seat beside me.For th
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 216- Trust Your Brother
KRISTINE’S POV*********************The line went dead with a cold click.“Zayne? Zayne, wait—!”I pulled the phone away from my ear, staring at the black screen in utter disbelief for the next five minutes.‘I am failing. I am a horrible wife.’He had hung up on me. The fury and betrayal in his voice echoed in my head, loud enough to drown out the rain outside.“No, no, no… don't do this to me,” I whispered, my thumbs frantically moving across the screen to redial his number. Once. Twince. Thrice. Then directly to voicemail.His profile picture was not showing either. He had blocked me. My chest seized, a violent wave of panic as I rushed down the stairs and found Dorian knitting a sweater while humming to himself.“Dorian!” “What happened?” He nearly dropped the needles, returning the same panic and jumping from his seat.“Is it an attack?! Is everything alright?!”“It’s Zayne!” Tears dwell in my eyes, hands shaking that the phone dropped from my hands, “He… He…” “No… no, no,no

He snapped too, losing his composure at this point, “I ‘am’ talking about us!” Fury burning in his sapphire gaze genuinely frightened me, causing my entire body to go rigid. Unlike any other display of wrath. It was truly… threatening.He was hovering over me, deadly orbs staring deeply into my s

Sunlight penetrated through the window, cascading over my face, dragging me back to my senses as I woke up to a room that didn't belong to me.My head throbbed, a reminder of too much tequila and a heartbreak that hadn't quite died. I reached out, expecting to feel Zayne’s warm skin, but the sheet

The door to his place hadn't even fully clicked shut before he had me pinned against the wall possessively.When his lips met mine in a magical way, I mindlessly reacted, feeling daring enough due to the alcohol, and kissed him back.He tasted like expensive bourbon and dark intentions, a mystic sy
