A Cold Heart , Burned for Him
Ch ~ 1
The glass clinked like whispers behind my back .
Velvet growns . Polished floors . A thousand-dollars orchestra pretending this wasn't a room full of liars and sharks .
I stood at the edge of it all - untouched, unreadable and utterly bored .
Until he walked in .
Business parties were all the same
Empty smiles , old money , new power . Too many people trying too hard . And then I saw her.
Upstairs . One hand on the railing glass in hand , watching me like she was measuring the weight of my soul .
Selene D' Arkane
* She walks towards him *
Kade Ashbourne
"You have some nerve showing up here ." ( low and sharp voice ) .
Selene D' Arkane
(smiling) "Oh , Kade. If I had nerves left , you killed them years ago ."
Kade Ashbourne
* He stares at her . Her words don't wound - but the memory behind them ? that's another story .*
Kade Ashbourne
" Security's ones call away ."
Silence . Their eyes lock . The tension isn't just history. It's heat , hate , hunger.
Kade Ashbourne
" what do you want .''
Selene D' Arkane
'' Justice or revenge. Depends on how much you bleed ''
Kade Ashbourne
"You still think I killed your family . "
Selene D' Arkane
'' I don't think . I know ."
She steps closer. She smells like jasmine and danger . He doesn't back away .
Selene D' Arkane
'' But here's is a sick part , kade .'' ( leans in) '' I hate you so much ....I dream about you " .
Kade Ashbourne
" You have no idea what you are playing with ."
Selene D' Arkane
'' Neither do you ."
