Rhys's POV

Christmas morning dawned cold and quiet on the tour bus somewhere between Philly and Baltimore.

The engine hummed low, tires eating highway miles while the rest of the band slept off last night’s whiskey and stage sweat.

I sat in the back lounge, acoustic guitar across my lap, fingers picking out fragments of a melody that wouldn’t leave my head.

Her melody.

Lena.

I didn’t even know her last name. Just the way she’d tasted—sweet and sharp, like winter berries and want.

The way he

    🌹 20 🌹 Vera stood before the pool with a bucket in her hand. “You need to be strong.” She said to herself. “You're doing this for yourself and Jo. Jo needs you to be strong because you need to get out of here and look for her.” She started fetching water from a tap to turn it into the pool. Hours later, she looked down at her palms which were red and swollen. “Jo needs you to be strong!” She slapped herself. “She's always strong so you'll be like her!” She picked the bucket again as tears stream down her cheeks. “Jo is out there somewhere. She needs you to find her and she needs your help. She's in trouble, I can feel it.” And she will teach her parents some lessons. Vera dropped the bucket when pool was half empty and walked back into the house to eat her bread when the sun was already setting. “Are you done?” Sylvester walked into the kitchen. “No, I'll continue tomorrow. I'm hungry and tired and it's already six.” She gulped down the hot coffee and wiped her

    🌹 19 🌹 Vera stared hard at the bread in front of her but a completely different thing was playing in her head. She didn't know what to feel anymore or how to handle her emotions anymore. Noah has turned her into a complete fucking toy. It was almost as if he controls her entire being. His reaction affects her and his hurtful words stabs her in the chest. And for some reason, she likes to be around him and hates it when he is away. ‘But he is very mean to you!’ She adjusted in the chair. ‘You can make him a better person’ Why would she do that? That means she'll have to allow him toy and toss her around, which he was already doing. And why would she do that? Why is she even thinking about this? The answer is boldly written in her heart but it's not like she is ready to admit it. All her years in Europe, no man has ever fucked her the way Noah fucked her. He fucked her with his heart and she felt it in the depths of her soul. And she liked it, and wants mor

    🌹 18 🌹 Her eyes slowly open with a very weak yawn. Joan's smile flashed at her and her eyes momentarily shut close. Vera quickly opened her eyes, memory of last night hitting her hard and deep as she slowly sat up. A bitter taste settled in her mouth and a disturbing unsettlement in her gut. She suddenly looked around and let out a sigh of relief when Noah wasn't in the room. She looked up at Joan's picture as tears filled her eyes. “I didn't mean to.” She shook her head and crawled out of the bed, soaked in guilt and filled with shame. How could she lose herself. Images of the intense kiss they shared flashed in her head. She let him kiss her, but she kissed him back. He called her Joan. A tear dropped down as she depressingly walked to her room. ‘He called you Joan.’ She repeated to herself. She felt stupid and disgusting at the same time. How could she give him her body so easily, she felt cheap, and used. But they used each other. They were lost i

    🌹 17 🌹 Vera stumbled a little, making her way downstairs to get another bottle of alcohol even though she was already tipsy. That was when Noah walked in. He stopped for a brief moment when he spotted her at the bar. He looked away and headed for the stairs. “Son of a bitch!” She cussed and went after him. “You asshole!” Vera planted herself in front of him, stopping him on the stairs. That was when she noticed the bottle of whiskey in his hand. “Move.” He angrily growled. “You're drunk.” Vera plainly accused. “So are you.” “What exactly are you drinking for when you decided to make my life miserable? You're out there enjoying your goddamn life.” Tears filled her eyes. “Vera..” “How dare you involve my parents!?” She screamed. “You're making life miserable for all of us. Why are you punishing them? What did they do to you? My mother is suffering, she is pathetic. She doesn't even have time for me anymore because your wicked family is doing everything to ma

    🌹 16 🌹 Vera set her alarm and woke earlier than usual. He said she can't waste what she didn't work for so that was her answer. She started cleaning everywhere even before the servants came in for their usual work. She cleaned the kitchen and washed a few plates and mugs. “Don't worry, I got it all covered.” She happily said to Sylvester when he walked into the kitchen. Sylvester slide his hand across the table and looked down at his finger. “Not clean enough.” He snapped his fingers and some servants came in. “Clean everything.” He simply ordered. “But I've done that already.” She sadly said. Vera waited until the chefs came in and closely watched them make Noah's food. She ignored the bread on the countertop and learned a little from the chefs. They dished out all the food and she was left alone in the kitchen. Vera waited for Noah to finish his food and helped with the plates and washed some of them. “Mrs. Vera,” Sylvester walked to her. “You don't have to

    🌹 15 🌹 Vera tearfully gulped down some more alcohol. ‘Why did you do this to me, Jo? This is all your fault.’ She cried. Why would her sister make such a decision that would put them all at risk? Joan is not the one to make irrational decisions. So what actually happened? Why did Jo leave? Why did she throw everything away? And now, she have to deal with her mess. Jo was always the one taking the fall and making sacrifices but that doesn't mean she can just make their lives miserable. Deep down, Vera felt a little hate towards Joan and it lasted only for a moment. She had never had to deal with something like this. She always made the emotional and stupid decisions while Jo helped her so how will she handle this one? Without Jo. Vera picked herself up with the bottle still in her hand and headed back to her room. She can't leave, there's no way, untill Noah has had enough of his revenge and decided to let her go. For now, she's trapped here. In this
