HEATED MOMENT

Lev looked at his wristwatch an hour after dinner, and swiftly rose to his feet.“I'm sorry, beautiful Mia, but I have to leave. But I'll be back so we get to know each other even better. Just so there are no surprises when you eventually meet my parents of course.”Mia stretched out her hand to him, with a sweet smile on her face.He kissed her hand, and held it for a few seconds.When he eventually let go, he turned to Luca.“We'll speak in private on a later date. There's someone out the door waiting to take you to your car,” Luca said to him.“I like how proactive you are, Devil. Goodnight.”They shook hands, and he walked straight for the door.The door closed, and Valentina's palm instantly turned sweaty.All night she had successfully evaded the devil's gaze by keeping her focus on Lev.At the beginning, she didn't know what to expect from him. After conversing with him, she considered him a very cheerful man In a sea of men who just wanted to be arrogant, and disrespectful.“D

OLIVIA LUXE

MIAMy eyes remained embarrassingly shut. I couldn't bring myself to open it and stare into what must be smugness in his face. This wasn't me. I didn't surrender to sudden kisses or kisses at all. I didn't cling on to a man who spoke down on me every opportunity he got.Whatever was going on with my mind scared me beyond reasoning.It made me vulnerable, and that wasn't a good way to self preserve.“Seriously? You're not going to open your eyes?” I heard him ask me again.Why would I open my eyes? To see him gloat that all it took was a kiss for him to weaken my knees?It wasn't even as if the kiss was any good. Okay, that was a lie, but still, it didn't warrant the embarrassment I felt.“Alright, suit yourself.”I didn't know what that meant, until I heard footsteps.He was leaving me. He was fucking leaving me alone!My only choices were to push aside my shame and open my eyes, or just wait for him to leave.I chose the latter. I had endured enough embarrassment for the night.Eve

INSUFFERABLE

MIA He might be the most attractive man I had ever seen before, but he was also a liar. A bloody liar! “Oh poor thing. Do you see a psychologist?” Olivia asked me with pity all over her gaze. I battled with annoyance inside of me, but then I chose the path of peace. “It comes and goes. I'll be fine. Thanks for asking, I'll take my leave now.” I began walking to the door when I heard his voice. “I'll take her to her room. Get breakfast started, Iris.” He kissed Olivia on the lips, and then followed me outside. I thought I'd be able to disappear before he showed up, unfortunately, I didn't know the path back to my room. “How was your night?” “How about you go to hell?” I blurted before I could stop myself. “Keep talking recklessly and I might just give you the death you crave.” “At least I'll be free,” I replied in my mind, but didn't respond to him. “You're on for tonight at Pandemonium.” I still didn't respond to the asshole. He couldn't even apologize for leaving me to

LOLLIPOP SAGA

MIA Mr peacock was in my room an hour after dinner to bring me to the Angels sanctuary. “You look distressed. What is the problem?” “I want a lollipop,” I said to him as we walked. He laughed as if I was trying to be funny. But he stopped when I didn't laugh with him. “Oh you're being serious?” “Of course I am. Lollipops and mood lifters. The back and forth motion of it in the mouth keeps one's thoughts sharp.” He chuckled, shaking his head in the process. “Are you even a real person?” “Why? You think I'm weird? Is being weird a bad thing? Why's everything so scrutinized in this world? One can't be different? One can't be an independent thinker? We all have to think alike, yeah? You see, that's the problem of this world!” Mr peacock stared at me with horror in his eyes. I held his gaze for a couple more seconds, before I burst into laughter. “Gotcha!” He exhaled loudly. “Jesus Christ girl, you scared me. For a second there, I thought I would have to pour you some holy wate

HUMBLE LESSONS

MIAThe Angels sanctuary was busy when we walked in.I didn't plan on boundary stepping, so I stuck beside Mr peacock.“Good afternoon girls! I heard your performance last night was incredible!” He announced and sighed internally when the music stopped and they all turned to us.Irina was back. Her ear was a little bandaged but she was back.Anger flashed in her eyes when she saw me. I couldn't quite blame her for that seeing it was kinda my fault she was in that condition.“No, she was hurting you. She brought it upon herself,” a voice in my head tried to tell me, but I wasn't having it.“Okay girls, don't mean mug. We're all friends here. Mia is just—”“Going to shut up and watch I assume,” Irina said, cutting off Mr Peacock.“Would you like me to go tell the boss what you've just said?”Panic gripped her and it shone in her eyes for a few seconds. “Whatever,” she muttered under her breath and I read her lips.“Everyone!” I said before Mr Peacock could speak.They looked at me, obvi

THE GAME

LUCA“What are you watching?” Niko entered my office room and I quickly switched screens from the sanctuary to something work related.“Nothing,” I cleared my throat and sat up.I didn't want anyone knowing I was watching Mia work a pole, and it was the most mesmerising thing I had ever seen.Niko took a seat, eyeing me as he did. “What?”“You've been acting strange," he replied.“Strange?” I lifted a brow. “Do tell, how?” “You made the girl queen of the night just like that.”“I didn't know I needed to conduct you first, but in my defense, I didn't. Geraldo and Lena did.”“What?”“Yeah, they saw her after I thought she was too ugly to be of any use. It turned out she had been disguising all along to fit in as the perfect thief. How do you think I got the gold wristwatch I gave you to get rid of?” His eyes widened, but it was so quick I almost missed it.“Niko, what have you done?”“Well in my defense, I–”“What did you fucking do?”He sighed, and his shoulder fell. “I gave it to

OPULENT DIFFERENCE

MIAThe boss said nothing about a special client coming in tonight, so you're not required to look in a certain direction,” Ms Bird cager said to me as I was being dressed up for another night in Pandemonium.I didn't know if I was supposed to be relieved or troubled by that.Knowing how devious he was, he probably had something more sinister planned out for me.“All done, doll,” Mr Peacock who had been a little more quiet said, and took a step back.I rose to my feet, stared at my reflection in the mirror, and nodded.“I'm ready.”Behind the curtains was buzzing with activities as usual.Peach walked up to me, and pulled me away from the stern side of Ms Bird cager.“You look stunning,” she whispered to me. “But I'm sure by now you're tired of hearing it.“Exactly. Where are you taking me?”“On a tour of course. You're not on until midnight. And that's not until another thirty minutes. Aren't you curious about Pandemonium?”I frowned in confusion. “I don't understand. Isn't Pandemoni

ANOTHER BUYER

“She doesn't seem very interested in acknowledging your gaze,” Darien Luxe said to Luca.He turned to the father of the woman he was going to be marrying, and smiled.“She's not supposed to. It's the rule.”“The rule? I'm just glad you don't bring my daughter around these kinds of things.”“Yet you're here,” Luca said in his mind, but outwardly, he smiled.“Of course I won't bring her here. She's too precious to be here.”“Or maybe you're checking out other women and don't want her to catch you in the act?”“Well I don't cheat, so there's that.” He shrugged.“Nonsense!” Darien waved dismissively. “I don't know a man who doesn't indulge in a little something new. I loved my wife, God rest her soul, more than anything in this world, but this one's mother never missed a second laying on my desk at the company.”Luca looked to see Rhys face flatten. He didn't feel sorry for him, but he did find it hilariously ironic that he was now messing with his daughter.“Thats why I stick to one woma

THE DEVIL'S MADNESS

MIA I didn't see the devil after the show. It was supposed to be relieving because he was an insufferable man anyway.Yet I felt troubled at the pit of my stomach. “Mia?”“Huh?!” I jerked, and whipped my head to the side to see Peach had stopped walking.“Are you okay?” She asked and I heard concern in her voice.“Yeah—Yeah I'm fine. Why do you ask?"“Because you seem a million miles away. As if something is bothering you. You know you can tell me if something is wrong right? I'd love to be your friend so you can confide in me as I will confide in you.”I forced a smile even though I wasn't really in the mood to smile. “I appreciate that. Truly do, but I'm fine. Just a little winded out. Can I retire for the night?”“Well actually you can, seeing you're right in front of your room.”I turned my head forward and my eyes widened slightly. “Oh, would you look at that?”She laughed.Approaching footsteps dragged both our attention behind and as I looked, I saw boss number two.My eyes s

THE BOY FROM BEFORE

MIAI walked through the halls of the castle endlessly.Where I was supposed to go and where I came from seemed to have blended into one, incomprehensible path that made me believe I was going around in circles.The state of my mental health was in shambles.My brain cried for help. The spike rate wasn't normal.One minute, I was from the euphoria of dopamine being released every time I entered into the golden glass, and the next, my cortisol level was being activated. This was no way to live, and it only just grew worse.My feet began to hurt from the amount of movement I was doing.Since I had no idea how to find my room, I just dropped to the ground, right in the center of nowhere.I took off my heels, and rested my back on a door.When I closed my eyes, it was with a prayer that my mind took me from this unstable place, to a place or a time I knew peace.Fortunately for me, I got my heart's desire.When I was ten, I was taken by my aunt who loathed my father to see a play.The pl
