《Torturing The Billionaire Book 2》chapter 26

All the way to her abode, the feeling I had endeavoured to neglect,to acknowledge continued to aggravate me, allowing different emotions to overwhelm me. It had rendered me nervous.
But why? Could anything be amiss? Perhaps not.
However,the damn nagging would not leave the residence of my mind.
My subconscious commenced to bitch,reprimanding,chiding me whilst she painted her luscious lips with JSC cosmetics red velour liquid lipstick,eyeing me with the utmost distaste,disapproval-- contempt. "Of course something is wrong. If it were not, she would have called a million times already to speak with her child since she dropped her off at yours two days ago. Admit it Lue Boo, that is quite peculiar."
"Dan Da Dan!" I muttered ,releasing a frustrated breath as I reflected onto the voice. Not a smart thing to be distracted and closing your eyes in exasperation while you drove, I know,but still. It really were peculiar. Briina was my best friend's errythang. After the first half hour had elapsed and she had not telephoned to speak with her daughter ,hissing into my ears a billion and one instructions,should have rung a bell.
It,in fact should have set off countless alarms.
Pulling my lip between my teeth, I escalated the fastness of the car.
I approached Brii's front door and the dreadful feeling -- literally ascended to a strength ten folds. I jogged up to it,desiring to thrust the thing open ,demolishing it after a maximum of fifteen lengthy seconds had passed and I had received not a response from my bitch. She were home, that were transparent if the white Audi parked outside were any indication to go by.
Rapping as hard and un stopping onto the hard wood door as I had, I could have sworn I had snapped a nail but for my bitch I would snap several nails.

"Silly, silly me."I muttered ,soon reprimanding myself,shaking my head. How could I have disremembered that I possessed a key to my best friends crib? Opening the door, I quickly perambulated inside and immediately I were bidded upon entering by the 'too strong scent of 'too much' wine.
I dashed crazily into the corner of the room when the faint sound of a fatigued moan met my ears ,weak and grave,sorrowful and pained.
Deathly and frightening.
"Oh Brii" I could only manage a numb low whisper when I witnessed her condition. Britondii was huddled into a heap onto the floor, her face a deathlike white and her usually neatly styled hair in wild knots on to her head. The silky white gown she wore was stained in parts by her drink. Howbeit her eyes were opened, they appeared blank, lifeless as though the striking blue pools had been washed out and emptied.
Momentarily, I wondered if she knew I were standing before her, if she could see me.
My gaze washed over the two bottles of wine one completely vacant and the other nearly emptied. A glass in splinters next to her.
Tears filled my eyes as I continued to wirelessly watch the woman in front of me not currently able to do much else.
What could have caused Britondii's undoing? I questioned my self and coming up with zilch.
You know there is only one thing which fan affect Brii in such a way.
I now sprung to action , touching her arm. "Brii"
"Lucas,Oh Lucas." My friend sobbed, tears streaming down her face, her voice cracked and hoarse. "I did it again."
My heart broke by my friend's sadness.
"Brii," I sniffled. "What did you do babes?" Her lips trembledand her nose and eyes leaked, her body quaked as though she was suddenly cold and freezing. I embraced her and kissed her forehead.

I nearly missed her words.
"I have fallen in love once more with Sebastian Monteiro."
"Baby it is going to be okay. " I pacified and hushed her as she broke down into my arms while I plotted somebody's murder. For God knows I was so damn sick and tired of that fucking, fucked up, mother fucking, fucker disturbing my friend's mental peace and it was time he righted his wrongs once and for all.
After I had settled Britondii in bed, I used her phone to call him and before the first ring was completed he answered, his deep voice resonating through the phone line. "Jesus my lo --"
I interjected -- and not so courteous. "Listen to me and listen well Sebastian Monteiro. Ensure you are at Brii's apartment in the next thirty seconds or else I swear to the God of the gays, I will find you and mutilate your 'I don't know what my friend sees in you' ass ,starting with you di--"
The call were cut off before I completed my threat but still I am pleased to inform you that he arrived in twenty five seconds.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
