Original Heirs

Chapter 17

Hope’s Pov:- 

“Son of a b***h,” I groaned in anger and frustration. How can he just come over and kiss me, then leave me here wanting more and bothered? 

“How dare he!” I grit my teeth, I got up from the bed and walked towards my bedroom angrily. I felt extremely frustrated at his actions, this is not done. 

I opened the door and walked out of my room and strolled through the hallway. I have to teach him a lesson and warn him to stay away from me. I just can’t have him kissing me wherever he likes and treating me like a toy. 

As I made my way towards the other side of the hallway, I heard noises coming off a room. I stopped in my tracks, What was that? I thought while trying to hear it properly. I heard something from the slightly opened door, My legs automatically moved towards the room. I moved my hand towards the knob and slowly opened the door while my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage. 

I slowly opened slightly and noticed it was completely dark inside, I began breathing rapidly as I stared inside the darkness and tried to locate something or anything but I couldn’t. What if it’s nothing? A question popped inside my head, I rolled my eyes and stepped back. 

As I was about to close the door, the light from the window flashed on someone doing something in the corner of the room. My breathing hitched as my eyes caught their face, it was Dakota kissing someone, as he moved his head to a side her face became visible to me. 

I felt my heart got ripped out of the ribcage, it was that redhead, Ember. They were making out, his hands were wrapped around her body and they were kissing each other like long lost lovers. Tears rolled in my eyes as I stared at them, the sudden pain in my chest made my legs weak and I stumbled back while I placed my hands over my mouth. 

With a last glance I rushed from there, How can he do that to me? I thought as I let my tears roll down my cheek, I pressed my hands to my mouth not letting the sobs out of my mouth as I began running back to my room. 

As I was running back to my room, all of a sudden Blade came out of his room and we both collided with each other. I stumbled back but regained my balance. 

“s**t!” He cursed under his breath and rushed towards me, “Are you okay?” he asked while taking my hand in his. I tried to hide my face with my hair, lowering my head. 

“Yea... I’m fine,” I replied in trying hard to not let him see my tears, 

I tried to move past him but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back, “Hope?” he called while looking at my face, “What happened?” he asked while bending a bit, trying to see my face as I tried to hide it from him. 

“No-Nothing,” I replied and tried to pull my hand off his grip, 

“Why are you crying? Hope,” He asked, 

“No...I’m not crying,” I replied while looking at him and smiling, 

“Hope!” He had a confused and worried expression on his face while staring at my face. 

As I stared at his face while trying to smile the pain inside my chest increased and I found myself sobbing out loud, 

“Hope!” He widened his eyes in shock as I sobbed in front of him.  

“Hope… What happened?” He asked while holding my shoulders, 

“I…” I sobbed out, I couldn’t make words as I felt betrayed and used, I was deeply hurt and I don’t know what to do. 

“Jesus, Hope please tell me what happened?” he said with a desperate expression on his face. 

“Please take me back to my home…” I cried while looking at him,  “I-I can-can’t stay here!” I sobbed while lowering my head and hiding my face with my hands and crying out loud. What I saw back in that room kept flashing in front of my eyes making the throbbing pain inside my chest increase. 

“Hope…Please calm down, Stop crying,” he pleaded, “Let’s go to your room… then, tell me what happened,” he said while leading me to my bedroom as I kept sobbing. 

He opened my bedroom door and led me inside, “Stop crying, Hope,” he said while making me sit on my bed. He walked back and closed the door, “Now… Tell me,” He asked while sitting beside me. 

I kept crying and it was impossible to stop crying as the unbreakable pain kept increasing, I don’t know why it hurts so much to see him kissing someone. Maybe the fact that he kissed immediately after kissing me and leaving me here, the way he was holding her made it clear that they had been close. 

Why did he get close to me when he already has someone in his life, Why? Why did he bring me here? 

I ket crying hard, “Hope,” Blade called me while staring at me with a worried expression, I turned my head and stared at him while crying, 

“It hurts,” I whispered while sobbing in pain.  

He stared at me without saying anything, I noticed him zoning out and staring into space. I stopped crying and stared at him in confusion, all of a sudden he blinked his eyes and moved his eyes back to me. 

“I know what happened,” he said while staring down at him, 

“Ho-How did you…” I began to say in confusion but he cut me off, “We share each other’s memories,” he replied, 

“What?” I asked, 

“Yeah… As we’re twins. we were born with the gift of sharing each other's memories, whatever happens with him… rushes to my mind and gets saved as if those were my memories and same goes with him too…” He said, 

“I don’t understand,” I replied with confusion written all over my face, 

“I will explain it later… Now, Whatever you saw in that room is not what you think…” he said very cautiously. 

As he mentioned it, everything I saw rushed back to me again. Tears filled my eyes all over again and I quickly raised my hand up, gesturing him to stop. 

“No... Please,” I whispered, “Don’t,” I said while staring at him with my tears strained face. 

“I don’t want to talk about it,” I said while letting those tears rolled down my cheek,

He sighed deeply, “Okay,” 

“But if you want to talk about anything... just call me,” He said, “And… you are not going back home,” He added, “I’m sorry… But I promise I will let him realize his mistake,” he said while taking my hands in his. 

“I promise,” He said with sincerity shining in his eyes, I stared at him and nodded my head while trying not to cry again. I quietly sat there and watched him walk out of my room.
