Mono-Poly - Chapter 6 Sneak Peek

Featuring: Tobias x Casey Carrick, Ethan Ramsey, Diana Ellington-Rourke (F!OC)

The gallery was abuzz with activity, and for once, Ethan was actually enjoying himself until the worst occurred. He lifted his drink to his lips, hiding his words from prying eyes. His eyes, now tinged with disdain, locked onto Casey's. "Incoming donors," he grumbled.

Casey discreetly turned to see Dr. and Mr. Boylan heading their way. "Ethan," she said, a wide smile quickly forming on her lips, "they're funding fifty percent of our project, so be nice." She placed her drink on a passing server's tray and grabbed Ethan's hand. "Come on, dear, it's showtime."

Ethan glanced at Tobias, silently pleading for sympathy—or a quick rescue. "Your wife has no idea how much I hate mixing business with pleasure, does she?" he groaned.

But Tobias merely smirked. "You do pleasure? Who knew? You two kids go have fun now," he pat his friend on the back. "I'll be here."

As Tobias turned to examine a nearby painting, Diana noticed he was now alone. With a graceful stride, she crossed the room.

"Tobias," she said, her smile warm and inviting. "I hope you're enjoying yourself."

He returned her smile, every bit as charming.. "Very much so. Your work is incredible. I'm impressed, and I don't impress easily."

A waiter passed by, and Diana handed Tobias a flute of champagne. "That means a lot, coming from you."

"Does it?" he teased with a playful tone. "Then you’ll have to explain how Ethan Ramsey managed to score an invite to this soirée while I'm only here as my wife's plus-one."

Diana's melodic laughter floated above the room's ambient chatter. "Don't blame me. Blame my event planner. But," she paused, tapping a manicured finger thoughtfully against her glass, "how about a behind-the-scenes tour? I could show you the new series I'm working on if you promise to keep the details under wraps. Would that make it up to you?"

Intrigued, Tobias raised an eyebrow and downed the rest of his champagne. "It just might," he grinned. "Lead the way."

So you're telling me we're going to get to fight against a LIGHT VILLAIN in the next one?? Sick

[itlivesproject]

Are you with her ‘til the end of the line? 🐷🪱🐍 Fight for your life in chapter 20 of It Lives Within, coming this Saturday, December 31, at 12 PM EST!

*****

But now for some not-so-good news. Despite our best efforts to finish the game in time to stick to our schedule, we simply aren’t quite ready with the last two chapters to continue airing one chapter a week. We are programmed through ch 22, however we are doing some heavy rewrites to ch 22, in addition to needing to thoroughly test, and ch 23 is still being edited to prepare for programming.

Rather than wait an unspecified amount of time after ch 21 or 22 for the last chapter or two, we decided to take a break after ch 20 so that the final three chapters can be enjoyed without any breaks. So after this chapter, we will go on hiatus for a few weeks (I’m hoping it’ll just be 2-3 weeks) before coming back. We will keep you updated and tell you when to expect ch 21. But in the meantime… please enjoy chapter 20!! 🔥

If you're interested... Here’s a WIP of your request I was working on. Little sneak peak, here:

...

"How was the meeting?"

"Oh that... Belive me, I wanted to stab everyone. I wanted to stab them all!!", he angrily replied.

"I'm glad you didn't cause you would've gotten blood all over yourself and we have dinner reservations at 7."

"I love you for supporting me."

"I love you too, Nik.", she giggled which made Nik smile a little. He took a closer look at her.

"Hey, you look beautiful tonight."

"Thanks, Nik. You should get ready too, you know? I can't have a dinner date without my main course which is you, Nik.", she winked at him.

"Someone's in a good mood here."

"Well, someone has to keep the good mood up when the other one had a bad day.", she answered in a seducive tone and smiled.

WIP Wednesday

Here's a sneak peek from Chapter 5 of my Tobias x Casey AU series, Mono-Poly. I can't wait to finish & post the chapter!

Series: Open Heart | Pairing: Tobias x Casey | Characters: Ethan, Jackie | Preview Rating: Teen

Casey stood quietly in the back room of her wedding venue. The soft hum of voices and laughter of guests who had gathered were seeping in through the walls. She adjusted the final touches of her wedding dress, its delicate lace and satin catching the light just so. She couldn't believe the day was finally here, and her heart was racing with joy.

She hadn’t noticed Ethan leaning against the doorframe, his gaze fixed on her. He smiled brightly, but for those paying attention, the hint of sadness in his eyes was impossible to miss. It was time to make his presence known. “It’s not too late to run away," he announced. Just say the word, and I'll go get the car."

Casey turned around, smiling brightly as her eyes met his. Ethan. Her dear friend, Ethan. Some would balk at a bride choosing to have her former lover in her bridal party, but Tobias didn’t mind. He knew how special their friendship was, and Casey was so glad to have him with her today. He wanted his bride to have everything she desired.

“Come on, Ethan, you and Tobias buried the hatchet years ago. Do you really want to hurt him that bad?” she teased.

He managed a smile, though it was tinged with melancholy. “Of course I don’t. And God, that would hurt him.” He took a deep breath, forcing himself to focus on the moment. “You look absolutely beautiful, Casey. Honestly, you’re going to take Tobias’s breath away.”

“Thank you,” she blushed.

“He doesn’t deserve you – you know that, right?”

Casey winked playfully. “I know.”

Jackie burst into the room, her nervousness palpable. “Hate to bust this party up, but the photographer needs us in 15 minutes, and I have to finish getting the princess camera ready.”

Ethan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Not ready? Impossible, she’s gorgeous.”

Casey chuckled. “See, I told you I need this man around to bolster my ego! But I do have some last minute touches to complete. Go - go join the other attendants and have fun. I’ll be down before you know it.”

Jackie clapped her hands together. “It’s almost showtime! You ready for this?”

Casey beamed with a joy that radiated from her. “Sure am! I can’t believe it’s finally here!”

Jackie looked at her friend in the mirror, then her smile faltered slightly. “I'm so happy for you," she whispered. "But you do have the prenup in order, right?”

Casey’s smile faded. “Jackie! Is that any way to talk to me 30 minutes before my wedding?” She tried to keep the mood light, but there was an unmistakable trace of annoyance in her voice.

Jackie’s grew serious. “You didn’t answer?”

Casey’s heart sank as she looked at her friend in the mirror. “His family’s attorneys sent one to the house, but Tobias was livid. He didn’t want it. He said we’re going to be together forever, so…”

Jackie rolled her eyes, and Casey didn’t miss it. “Jackie, really? You’re my maid of honor; tell me you’re joking about this. These are supposed to be the happiest moments of my life.”

Jackie’s internal struggle had her light-headed. She loved Casey, and she loved Tobias, too. She couldn’t deny they had a great relationship; they were relationship goals personified if only it hadn’t been for that one promise. Jackie was the only person besides the two of them who knew the promise Casey had made, and if Tobias ever decided to call in the offer of stepping into non-monogamy, she wasn’t confident her friend could take it. She didn't know if their marriage would survive.  Still, she forced herself back to the present. Casey was relying on her.

“You know I’m just an asshole,” she grinned. “I’m joking, girl. I love you, and I love Tobias, too. Let’s get you ready to marry your man.”

Casey took a deep breath. She'd have to be a fool to pretend she couldn't read Jackie's thoughts, and Casey was well aware of the promise she had made. But right now, her heart was full of joy, and there was no room for doubts. She loved Tobias with her whole heart, and he loved her back just as much. She couldn’t possibly be happier and she was absolutely certain... this was forever.
