CHAPTER 21:Not on my watch

CHAPTER 21:Not on my watch~ Kim ~At first, I felt like this was some scheme to get me out of the room. “It’s evident that drama runs in the bond. Very nice.” I turned to leave but before then I noticed sweat on his forehead. The air conditioning in the house could freeze a meal and it occurred to me on the spot that Richard was not dramatic enough to want to appear weak to me. “Hey! Get your ass up!” I shook him, but he did not respond. Everything happened so fast. He was shaking violently seconds later, almost rolling down the stairs. I struggled to get him into the room, but positioning him on the rug was the best that I could do. This body was burning up and I knew what all of these symptoms together meant. It took me a minute to turn the room upside down and locate a small burner phone. I rang the only person I could at least count on–Galina.“The herbs in the bag. The rest of it. I need it now!” I demanded. There was a reason I could count on Galina and she proved it ag

CHAPTER 22: Accidental

CHAPTER 22: Accidental~ Kim ~“I’m trying very hard not to hate her, Galina. I am, but the harder I try, the more effort she puts into making me strangle her. I’m not sure how much longer I can take this.”I ranted to Galina on our drive back to the mansion. “It’s impossible to hold on to the good times with what she is now.” I got down from the vehicle and slammed the door. Thirty minutes of ranting and I was still going on, until I set eyes on him. “Kim…” he called. I looked right past him and continued to the stairs. “Kim…Please…listen to me.” he grabbed my arm before I opened my room door. “I doubt that you have anything to say that I am willing to hear, Logan.” I avoided his gaze like a plague. “Listen, I never wanted to trick you.” He sounded genuine enough, “It’s just…the family…I have to…”“No. It’s okay.” Seeing that he was stammering, I jumped right in. “You don’t have to explain yourself to me.” I pulled the knob quickly, sneaking into my room and shutting the do

CHAPTER 23:Always my hero

CHAPTER 23:Always my hero~ RICHARD ~“Ugh!” I regained consciousness with a banging headache and blurry vision. “Hey…Relax.” she placed her hand on my chest, acting as a soft restraint. I smiled from ear to ear when my vision cleared out and her face was the first thing I was met with. “This brings back memories, doesn’t it?” I probed, holding her hand. “It does.” Elena nodded affirmatively. “What happened?” I inquired.The last thing I remembered was knocking on Kimberely’s door and now I was waking up in a hospital bed. “The healer said you were exposed to some kind of poison.” Elena responded. “I’m positive Kim has something to do with it.” “Let’s go easy on the allegations now, shall we?” Catherine Fell walked into the room. “How else do you explain this?” Elena fired at my mother. “Mom is right, Baby. We don’t have any proof of that.” I rubbed her hands. “Sure, we don’t, but at least, we can all agree that forcing you both into that space was a terrible idea.” I und

CHAPTER 24: WELCOME BACK

CHAPTER 24: WELCOME BACK~ Kim ~“You have to calm down, Kim.”“Calm down? Did you just ask me to calm down?”“You saw everything that happened there, right?” I got into the vehicle and slammed the door. Logan joined me, sitting behind the wheel, but did not start the vheicle. “You already know your sister can be…”“No!” I jumped in before his sentence landed. “Elena can be a lot, but this is way over the line. Way…wayy…above it. Accusing me of making an attempt on Richard’s life is too much.”“I know. I know it is.”Logan and I had a quiet drive to the hospital. After what happened, we couldn’t talk, but we were definitely not having a quiet ride back to the mansion. “We came here to make sure Richard is fine and we’ve seen that he is…”“Hold that thought.” I raised a finger, shutting Logan up. I sighted the healer that had just reported my ‘sins’ to Richard. At first, I wanted to fly out of the vehicle and make him feel pain. Even if it meant using my powers and causing mys

CHAPTER 25: Lunch Bomb

CHAPTER 25: Lunch Bomb ~ Kim ~“It goes without saying.” Elena walked over to my door and kissed Richard right in front of me. Rachel growled. Her actions caused me pain down to the very core of my being. I waited for them to leave, but Elena thought it was necessary to have her hands running through every inch of his chest right in front of me. Richard’s leg was still holding my door open, so I could not just slam it in their face, even when I desperately wanted to. “We’ve been through so much to let anything or anyone come between us.” Elena paused almost every two words to give him a peck on the lip. “Okay. That’s enough.” I snapped. “If you both want to play inseparable, you can do that anywhere else. It’s an entire mansion.”Both stared at me with raised brows. “I think you’re forgetting who owns the place, Kim.”I chuckled. “Oh! Of course not! How could I forget? You make it a point of duty to remind me every chance you get.” I let out another half laughter. “Hon

CHAPTER 26: A LONG TRIP

CHAPTER 26: A LONG TRIP~ Kim ~“Wake up!” I was so startled, I jumped out of bed and fell to the ground with a loud thud. “What the hell!” I picked myself up and dusted my body. “What are you doing in my room at past 1am?” I was a small bit away from wrapping my arms around his neck and squeezing life out of him, for many obvious reasons. “We’re leaving.” Richard was pulling my bags out of my room. “Your mother said we would leave early, but I think even she would agree that this is too early.” “Let’s go!” His sense of urgency was demanding. I could not argue. Whatever it was, it looked important. “Okay. Let me get changed.” I tried to get to the wardrobe, but Richard grabbed my arm. “There’s no time for that.” he said, pulling the luggage with one hand and my arm with the other. I had on a T-shirt big enough to be gown and short tights underneath it. “Okay. What is going on?” I waited until the car door closed before I queried. “I don’t answer to you. You take orders

CHAPTER 27: Key card

CHAPTER 27: Key card ~ Kim ~“Kimberly. Wake up!”I had heard that voice way too many times not to wake up. It was my nightmare–louder than any alarm. “How did you even manage to sleep through the trip?” “I’m sorry, Elena. I didn’t realize you were irritated by me getting some rest.” I made sure my sarcasm could be felt as I opened the door of the vehicle and alighted. Two men dressed in corporate white shirts, black pants and black bowties came to the vehicle with a rolling trolley.“Good evening. Welcome to Crystal Pack View.” They went straight to the trunk to get our luggage. The men pushed the luggage, leading the way to a luxurious suite on the fifth floor. It was a giant building and the walls and floors looked like they were made of glass, with marbles underneath. We saw our reflections off them. Richard and Elena walked in front, while I followed, taking in the beauty of the structure. Every flower vase, every painting on the wall. The intentionality spoke for itself

CHAPTER 28: TROUBLE IN PARADISE

CHAPTER 28: TROUBLE IN PARADISE~ RICHARD ~“If she told you she was going out and you knew the rule, why did you let her?” Kimberly was quite defensive of her sister, which was quite admirable. “I was in the bathroom. I didn’t hear her.” I explained. “And you let her go out to embarrass herself?” she scolded.It took me a second to realize I did not answer to her and as such didn’t need to explain myself. “Why didn’t you stop her?” “I was in the bathroom.” she defended. “Well, I guess we’re both at fault then.” I walked to the room door in a bid to avoid the conversation, but the door was locked. “Elena really wasn’t joking when she said you better not return without a key card.” Kimberly mocked, “You deserve it though.”She got comfortable on the couch, wrapping herself in a duvet. I had fumes coming out of my ears and nose as I held the door handle. “Elena?”“Baby, just let me in. Please. We can talk about this.” I pleaded for a while, but got no response. “Some of us ar

CHAPTER 29: Model Couple

CHAPTER 29: Model Couple~ KIM ~“Am I interrupting something?”I felt both their gazes so heavy on me. Elena especially. I was convinced she wanted nothing more than to drive a blade through my stomach. I know I was tempted to do so when she launched operation ‘make Kim’s life hell’ the second Richard stepped out of the room. I had to leave so I don’t make any choices with a chance of regret later. “Okay…I’ll just go back out…” I turned around and walked down the hall, wandering around the giant hotel. The last button on the elevator took me straight to the roof. For a moment, I stood with my hands folded as the calm west wind blew all my hair to the right side of my face. “It’s scorching out here,” I turned quickly to the sound that came from behind me. “Logan?” ‘My eyes must be playing tricks on me.’ He walked to me with a bright smile and open arms. “Hey Kim,” It was such a relief to see someone familiar, I almost threw my arms around his neck, just to squeeze him t

CHAPTER 30: CRYSTAL NOIR

CHAPTER 30: CRYSTAL NOIR ~ KIM ~Getting ready for dinner was the easy part. It only took fifteen minutes. For the next fifteen minutes, I was left to pace around the living room with rising anxiety levels. No amount of star watching or sight seeing made it any better. ‘Why is he taking so long to get ready?’ I paused and stared at the room door every thirty seconds. ‘Good things take time,’ Rachel pulled harder on my already strained strings. “He’s male. Hasn’t he heard of casually throwing a shirt and a pair of pants?” “Hold on a minute.” “Am I under-dressed?” “Oh my goodness. I am.” I had on one of the dresses Logan and I bought. It was burgundy and flowy from the waist, with a slit that was thigh high. It looked okay to me, but seeing how long it was taking Richard to get ready, I was beginning to rethink all my life’s choices. “I should change.” I ran over to my box. She did not say anything or make any sound, but I could swear I heard Rachel laughing in my distress.
