“Get in the car, Stella.” I got in the car.
i’m sat 🧎🏾♀️
Tall. Dark hair. Olive skin.
DANTE????
I wasn’t a sentimental person, but there were two areas of my life where my usual pragmatism didn’t apply: Stella and Magda.
not a want but a need
If my thoughts were chaos, she was my anchor. They always went back to her.
this is lowkey crazy bc you’ve only spoken to her maybe three times 😐
Twin flames of resentment and frustration burned in my chest. I was weak for Stella Alonso, and I hated it.
you don’t even know her
“I have to go back to New York.” He grabbed his jacket from the back of the couch, his face stamped with irritation. “There’s a…personal matter I need to deal with.”
i’ve read this before (i accidentally read king of wrath before the entire twisted series)
“Good. And don’t worry, Ms. Alonso.” Laughter remained in Christian’s voice as he lifted his glass to his lips. “I don’t believe in love.”
liar
Black had always been my favorite color. Silent. Deadly. Impenetrable.
finally a morally grey man who’s favorite color isn’t red
Green eyes. Green dress. Symbolic of life and nature. Green. Apparently it was my new favorite fucking color.
hell yeah 😄
I could only imagine how she’d react if she discovered some of the things I’d done. Not that she ever would.
well… the book is called twisted lies so i’m assuming she finds something out
“Butterfly?” Beautiful. Elusive. Hard to catch.
oh this ate down
“Because I don’t want to be jailed for murder if anyone touches a hair on your head.”
😫
Some photos were worth a thousand words. This photo said only one. Mine.
yours! 🧎🏾♀️
When he’d called her darlin’ and she’d smiled at him, I’d come close to losing my best employee at my own hands.
don’t be mad that kage is fine and got that southern twang 😐
“Come here, Butterfly.”
i’m gonna lose my mind
I didn’t know how the hell I ended up drawing a bath for someone else like a damn nineteenth-century attendant,
the comparison has me fucking weak 😭
“Can you stay with me?” Embarrassment colored her request. “Just for tonight.”
hey alexa play just one day by bts
She reached for her shampoo, but I stopped her before she made contact. “I’ll do it.”
HE’LL DO IT 😫
The irony of me cleaning Stella wasn’t lost on me. She was the purest soul I knew, and I was neck-deep in blood.
this… yeah
“I don’t cheat, Stella.” “It’s not cheating when we’re not really dating.”
she chewed
Christian wore his expensive suits and charm like armor, and I was desperate for a chink,
girlie pop… it’s you
“If you saw yourself the way other people see you,” he said quietly, “you’d never doubt again.” Curiosity and something infinitely sweeter and more dangerous fluttered to life in my heart. “How do other people see me?” Christian’s eyes didn’t leave mine. “Like you’re the most beautiful, most remarkable thing they’ve ever seen.”
uggghhhhh 😫
For all my aversion to relationships, I was a romantic in my most secret of hearts,
she just like me fr
What Christian Harper wanted, Christian Harper got.
👹
“It’s because you haven’t looked me in the eye since New York. Because you’re all I can fucking think about no matter where I am or who I’m with, and the thought of you hurt or upset makes me want to raze this city to the ground.” Soft, almost desperate viciousness coated his voice. “I’ve never wanted someone more, and I’ve never hated myself more for it.”
YES FINALLY THE LOVE CONFESSIONS ARE ROLLING OUT
“I’m not a jealous man, Stella. I have never envied someone for what they have or who they’re with, and yet…” My fingers glided down to her wrist. “I’m jealous of every person you smile at.”
fuck meeeee 😞
She once told me it was a shame Santa wasn’t real because, as old as he was, she’d fuck him if it meant she’d wake up to a different gift every morning.
now jules 😐
“He’d say he’s still better than them, and he’d be right. Our sex life is fantastic.”
hell yeah it is 😁
“Stella Rosalie Alonso, if you do not apologize to your mother this instant, I will—” “I suggest you don’t finish that sentence.”
i almost choked
“What about your family?” I took another sip of tea. “What are they like?” Christian never talked about his parents, and I hadn’t spotted a single photo of them in his house. “Dead.”
WHAT 😭
Seventy thousand dollars for one moment alone with her. It was worth it.
him 🤝 alex volkov
“You’re fucking drenched, Butterfly.”
the way i slapped my hand over my face
“Good girl,”
obligatory 👹
“That’s it, sweetheart. You can take it.”
THIS! YEAH!
Stella Alonso had consumed my world in a way that made it impossible to go back. There was only before her and after her.
🥺
“I want to make a few things clear.” Christian’s lips brushed mine with each word. “Touch another man, he dies. Let another man touch you, he dies. Tell me I can’t touch you…” His grip tightened on the back of my neck as his voice dropped. “And I will fucking die.”
this quote never fails to floor me. miss huang was in her fucking bag!
You’ve always been the brightest part of my world, Butterfly.
stop it 😭
“You don’t strike me as a guy who believes in luck.” “I believe in everything when it comes to you.”
STOP 😭
“Step aside, Ava, or I’ll—” “Careful how you finish that sentence, Harper.”
yeah alex go stupid
“I would never hurt you,” I repeated. “You already have.”
my heart just broke
If she brought me to life with three words—I love you—she slayed me with an equal number. Don’t touch me.
come on man not like this
The only times I’d been tied up were with Christian, but that’d been consensual. This…I didn’t know what this was.
girl 😭 now is not the time
Julian smiled. “Surprised?”
YOU???? WHAT THE FUCK???
“I’m not dating Christian anymore.” God, I wish I were.
well well well
He said my name like a prayer,
ana!!! girl you were in your mfn duff!
“See?” My chest heaved from the force of my swing as Julian’s right hand hit the floor with a thud. “Hard to write again. Or type.”
my jaw is on the fucking floor
Ava appeared. I didn’t cry in public often, but moisture pricked my eyes when she walked down the aisle on Ralph’s arm.
why am i tearing up??? w ralph too???
Natalia was my sister by blood, but Ava, Bridget, and Jules would always be my sisters by choice.
this makes me feel the same way hsm 3 makes me feel
Alex and Ava, who glowed with pregnancy. She was four months along, and her baby bump had just started showing.
AVA’S PREGNANT 😭 IM AN AUNTIE???
Rhys and Bridget, who was regal as always in the blue Stella Alonso dress she’d made a cult hit.
