The whispers.
That’s what I hated the most.
Not that my father was being charged for murder. Not that
life as I knew it was coming apart one brick at a time. It was
the whispers I cared about.

It started with one person, then spread like wildfire. The
whole pier circled around me, sneaking not so inconspicuous
glances at the bench where I sat.
I glared at a woman with a stroller, and she wheeled off
faster, scared the cornered animal would attack. Scoffed at and
looked down upon, that was what I was reduced to.
My skin crawled. I questioned my decision to come out in
the first place. Staying home seemed like the wiser decision
when my family name was plastered on every social media
news outlet out there, but I couldn’t. I’d rather suffocate in
judgment than the lies the Roux Manor fostered.
Another lady with a stroller wheeled by incredibly slow,
and I sighed. What was it with these baby mamas?
Abandoning the bench because I knew they wouldn’t stop
looking, I reached for the rusted green railing, giving them my
back to disguise the fractures on my surface.
And it was a good thing I did. I cringed when I caught my
reflection on the waves, the lamp posts hanging over my head
aiding my vision.
My face looked borderline unhealthy. Deep black grooves
decorated the surface under my bloodshot eyes, making the
clear blue color of my irises stand out like a blot on a
landscape. Hollowed out cheeks followed before the bloodless
form of my lips tied the knot on the badly wrapped present. I
resembled a zombie, in its prior to devouring brains form.
Pale.
Alone.
Miserable.
“Are you expecting flowers to spring up in your stead,
little vain monster?” a voice spoke behind me. That familiar
low timbre sprung me back to the present, my body locking at
the sound. Warning signs flashed behind my closed eyelids as
I blinked slow.
Leonardo Bianchi.
He had a special aura about him, one that sucked up all the
oxygen from a room, replacing it with danger. Breathing
became harder as fear coated the walls of my throat. A prickle
of awareness ran down my spine even before seeing him
sometimes, and this time was no different.
My body protested as I turned around, but I had to before
he sunk his claws in my back when I wasn’t looking. Brown
hair, the color of chocolate dreams, decorated the top of his
head in unruly curls. Eyes like two uncut emerald shards
pulled me in, and the slope of his aristocratic nose threatened
to slice me if I made a wrong move, right along with the sharp
line of his jaw.
