“Her going insane?” She smirks, “Yes.”
“Tragic.”
“Beautiful,” Camilla affirms.
“Creepy.”
“Interesting,” she argues.
“Youare,” I tell her. “And this just proved it. How do you know poetry by heart? Is there anything else you can’t do, Milla? Because from what I remember… You’ve always done it all.”
“I can do a lot,” she tells me, “Iama lot.” Camilla finishes with a whisper.
My brows furrow. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“I want to go home.”
“What’s wrong?” She’s withdrawing. “Did I say something?”
“No.” She shakes her head. “I just want to go home.”
Just like that, our moment is ruined, although I don’t take it personally. After all, I just want her to love me enough that I can use it against Leonardo. I want to wound his pride, spill his blood, and take his heart right out of his chest.
It’s too bad I have to use her for all of it.
Irun in the house as soon as Nikolai drops me off, my wet leotard sticking to my skin, black tights in hand, and my pointe shoes. It feels like a walk of shame, and I guess, in a way, it is. Just when I start to feel relieved that there’s no one home, life laughs in my face again.
Annabella and Calypso—our friend and roommate—are sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for me. One of the many living rooms anyway. This house is too big for all of us. Granted, it does house five girls.
Calypso sits on the couch, blonde hair up in a messy bun. She smirks as soon as she sees me, her blue eyes amused. “Leo is upstairs, baby girl.”
I freeze and my heart drops. It’s almost like I’m hearing drums in my ears now with how it’s pounding, and I nod. Not bothering to reply, I make my way up the stairs. Sure enough, when I open my door he’s sitting on my bed. The asshole seems right at home, and it irritates me slightly. I should kick his ass out, but I know we need to talk about this shit between us. Sadly.
Leo looks me up and down with hunger in his eyes, and I faintly cringe, knowing that the scolding is coming my way.
“Why the hell are you dressed that way?”
And there it is.
“Operation Revenge,” I reply, feeling guilty already. I can’t show it though, not to Leo. He will think I’m backing out when I’m absolutely not. I’m just a soft bitch for silver eyes that look unreal in the daylight. They look like liquid metal, and I’m weak. “Just like we agreed.”
“Come here,tesoro mio,” he says in almost a purr. “Let me reward you for your efforts.”
I drop my sandy tights and shoes on the ground next to my dresser and wrestle myself out of my soaking leotard. Yeah, we may have taken another dip or two in the ocean after my outburst. Thankfully, he knew when to stop pressing me.
Once my leotard is off, I go to my bathroom door and grab my robe. “No, thank you.” I sigh. “I’m pretty tired today.”
“What, you’re too good for me now?” Leo narrows his eyes. “So you won’t fuck me?”
“I’m just tired.” We don’t fuck often, but now I really don’t want to, no matter how badly I want to take my mind off Nikolai. Maybe the problem is that he has ruined me for everyone else… I don’t want anyone else anymore. He’s a silver-eyed serpent who dug his fangs into me, poisoning my mind and my body.
“Just because you fucked him doesn’t mean anything,tesoro mio,” he says through gritted teeth and I stiffen. “You’re stillmyproperty.”
My body goes rigid at his words. “I’m not anyone’s property. I won’t be, until I marry you.”
“Which will be soon. One more year,sweetheart, and I’ll be the only one inside of you. You’ll be bouncing on my dick whenever I please.”
I scoff. “Until then, leave me alone.”
