Fatal Alliances: Chapter 32.5

SAVE THIS PIN

I shouldn’t have tried to kiss her. I had to control myself and these urges I had. The back of my head sank into the pillow as I stared at the ceiling. What was wrong with me? I shouldn’t want her like this. If she and I did something, it’d only end in regret. And she’d be the one regretful because I wasn’t the man she wanted. I’m not the kind of man that a girl like her would need. Or rather should want.

Our relationship needed to be professional. So help me God, I’m trying.

A scream pierced through the still air. I shot off my bed and rushed towards Greene’s room.

“Greene! What the hell’s wrong with you?” I pushed through the door as I went towards the frantic girl on the bed clawing her arms. She’ll hurt herself if she doesn’t stop.

“It burns! Adrian, please stop it!”

“Stop what? There’s nothing there!”

“Please make it stop!” she begged and sobbed frantically.

“Juliet.” I breathed tiredly, cradling her in my arms.

She buried her face into my shirt, clutching onto me. I tried rubbing her arms and caressing her hair. So much for not getting close to this woman.

“Goodness, is she alright?” Gibert asked at the door.

“She’ll be alright. I’ll take care of her.” I assured her. The elderly woman nodded, trusting my words.
