It had been 3 months since the Dinner and the Auction happened. Apparently, when I walked out of the comfort room I didn't see Read anymore. Nova told me that he suddenly went out while talking to Mr. Davis and I just shrugged it off.
I am at my office today signing a lot of papers and reading some proposals from different companies.
A beeped interrupted my thoughts as I heard the voice of my secretary.
"Ma'am, there's someone in here that wants to talk to you but doesn't have an appointment."
"Who?"
I heard some muffled voices then my secretary answered.
"He said he's Mr. Choi."
I facepalmed myself. What does this guy want from me? I heaved a sigh and answered my secretary.
"Let him in."
The door to my office opened and there he was, wearing some light blue dress shirt, light cream trousers, and leather long-wings shoes. I eyed him as he walked towards my desk wearing his famous smirk.
Curse your smirks, Read Choi!
"What can I do for you, Mr. Choi?" I asked professionally.
He laughed and took a sit in front of me.
"Oh, please. Drop the formalities Inka, we're acquaintances."
I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off of my swivel chair. This guy is really getting on my nerve!
"Look if you don't have any important things to say or to do in here, I suggest that you should leave because as you can see I am quite busy," I said through my gritted teeth.
He just chuckled and made himself comfortable on his chair.
"Nah, I like being here." He stated and closed his eyes.
I heaved a sigh and decided to ignore him, he will eventually leave if he gets bored anyway. I sit back and continue reading the papers that I was signing.
"Have you eaten your lunch already?" He suddenly asked that made me look back at him.
"No," I answered and went back on the things that I am doing.
"Come."
I look back at him when he suddenly stood up. What is this guy up to?
"What?" I asked, confused about this sudden situation.
"Let's eat some lunch." He offered and I shook my head.
"No thanks, I'm not in the mood to eat," I answered but then my stomach had betrayed me and suddenly grumbled.
"Your stomach says otherwise."
I rolled my eyes and dropped the papers that I was holding.
"Fine."
I stood up from my chair and fixed my things. When I was done, I took my bag and looked at Read who was looking around at my office.
"Let's go."
He turned to me and nodded. I walked towards the door and was about to open it when suddenly I was pulled back, the impact made me turned around and I was pushed towards the wall.
What the heck did just happened?
I was so confused when I noticed Read's face so close to me.
"What are you doing?"
He smirked at me and whispered unto my ear.
"Kabedon."
Kabe--what?
"Mmmm, you smell so nice." He added
"Get off of me, Read!" I yelled and pushed him.
"Perv!" I added and rolled my eyes.
"Well, your body tells me you like it." He told me and just shrugged his shoulder.
I shook my head, fixed my dress, and went out of my office.
"David, kindly reschedule my appointment for today. Something came up and I needed to go." I told to my secretary when I went out.
"Noted, Ma'am."
I nodded my head and walked to the elevator. Read was at my back and following me, he's posture changed and it screams intimidation. We were the only ones inside the elevator, he pressed B5 and stood beside me.
It was eerily quiet, I can see our reflection from the elevator's door. I took a glance at his face. God! Why is he blessed with those perfect jaws and slanted eyes? He looks like an intimidating dragon.
"You do know that I can see you through the glass, right?" He blurted out.
I quickly looked straight and ignored him.
"Just as I thought." He added.
I can see his smirk through the glass again.
The elevator 'ding' and the door opened, we both step out as I follow him to his car.
I know to myself that I am rich enough to buy cars but this guy is really something.
He opened the door of his black Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.
"What?" He asked as I looked at him, shocked written on my face.
"This is yours?"
He only nodded and motioned for me to get in.
I hopped in and looked around. So this is what a billionaire's car looks like.
"You're shocked?" He asked again as he fastens his seatbelt.
"Well, I never thought that someone would actually drive a car like this to my office and to think that it isn't mine," I answered as I take in my surroundings.
I was taken aback when he moved towards me. What--?! Is he actually going to kiss me?! I was about to close my eyes when I heard his chuckle.
"Seatbelt please." He whispered
"Ow. Uhh yeah."
He shook his head and went back to his seat.
I can feel my cheeks heating up as I fasten my seatbelt on my seat. What was I thinking?!
"So what would you like to eat? Chinese dish? Italian dish? Is there something that you crave for?" He asked
I shrugged and looked outside.
"Anything would be fine. I'm not a picky eater anyway." I answered
"Just the way I like it" he uttered, I ignored him and closed my eyes.
For once, I felt peace and warmth. For the past months, all that I had been thinking was work, I hadn't been having enough sleep and wasn't eating at the right time.
I was too stressed out that I totally forgot to remember myself. I heaved a sigh and just like that, fell unto a deep slumber.
**
I felt a tap on my cheeks that had woken me up from my sleep. Wait-- I fell asleep?
I opened my eyes and looked around, I'm not in the car anymore. I'm actually at someone's bedroom.
"You're at my house." I heard Read stated and I grumbled.
What am I doing here? I looked down and saw that I'm still wearing my dress. So he didn't take advantage of me.
"You fell asleep and I didn't have the strength to wake you up since it looks like you really needed that sleep so I took you here at my house." He stated as he walked towards the couch near his bed.
"What time is it anyway?" I asked and rubbed my eyes.
"8:48 PM."
I nodded as a yawn escaped upon my lips.
"Get up and let's eat then you can go back to sleep."
He stood up and walked towards me, offered his hand as I gladly took it. We walked out of his room, outside was a long hallway with some pictures hanging around the walls.
I can see some abstracts and pictures as I look around.
"You got a lot of dragons around here," I observed and looked at him
"It's my symbol."
I nodded as I observed every picture and paintings that we passed by.
"Oh, look at what we have here."
Read stopped walking as we heard a voice behind us, I turned around and saw a guy.
"Who's this brother?"

Inka's Point of View"Who's this brother?" He askedHe looks like an anime character-- right! Tadashi Himada! The guy on baymax."None of your business." Read coldly answered and pulled me away. He literally dragged me away from that guy."Remember the code, brother!" He yelled then laughed.Code? What code?"Who was that?" I asked Read as we approached his diner area."My brother. Don't mind him, he just likes to mess around." He said and offered a seat to me.I nodded and looked at the foods. He put some on my plate as I accepted it."After this, you could go back to my room since I have some things to do." He stated as he took a bite on his steak."Oh. Okay." I answered and nodded.I never intended to sound disappointed but there's a part of me that I am. I don't know but I just feel safe when I'm with Read.I haven't felt this ever since I ran away from my parents, every day feels like danger for me."You seem disappointed." He suddenly blurted out."Its nothing," I answered quickl

Inka's Point of View"So what did you get?"I groan as I opened my eyes. The first thing I felt was the massive headache then the muscle pain.I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Where am I? This is not Read's bedroom."You're awake."I looked up and saw Read entering the room. He was wearing some maroon long sleeves and black slacks.The dragon is looking through my soul."What happened?" I asked him as he took a seat at the edge of the bed."I found you unconscious outside of my brother's room."His brother's room.A sudden flashback crash at my head. I remember now.I remembered how I heard the noises, the groans, the gunshot, Read's brother, the guy, the blood.The guy."Oh my gosh! Read! T-There was a guy a-and he-- oh my gosh!"I was hysterical. I can remember how he laughs, I can still hear it. It was imprinted on my mind, like a broken record that keeps on going and nothing can stop it."Shh. It's okay, everything is okay now. Don't cry."Cry? I am crying?I felt how Read's arm

Somewhere in the city of new jersey, a group of men where busy shipping some weapons and drugs."Sir, the shipments had been completed." His Second in Command said at his phone."Well done, how about our other objectives?" A voice so deep answered."We already burned his headquarters, Sir. His brother is already dead and some of his men are quitting out."A dark laugh was heard until the line went out.**Inka's Point of ViewI heaved a sigh for the ninth time as I arrange some of my paperwork. I looked at my phone and there was still no notifications, no messages, not even some missed calls.Read had been busy this past few days, our last encounter was when I was at his penthouse. Though he didn't tell me anything, I saw how determined he was when Wayne left.After that day, he dropped me off at my condo unit, bid goodbye then left.I don't even know why I'm being clingy towards him. I shook my head and focused back at my work. Maybe, I need to let out some steam since it had been a r

Quit asking okay, I'll tell you when I feel something is wrong." I assured himHe nodded and continued driving. I leaned back at my seat and looked outside.Berserker? I wonder what that means.*Flashback*"What are you doing here, Andrew?" Read asked as he was eyeing Andrew like he did something wrong."Am I not allowed here?"Read didn't answer him, he just stared at him like he is reading him. His jaw clenched, fist tighten."No. Anyway we should get going, I'll see you at our headquarters." Read said and looked at him one last time before dragging me out of the parking lot.I looked back at Andrew and saw him smirked at our way then he turned his back and walked away.*End of Flashback*I took my phone out of my bag and opened my online dictionary. I typed 'Berserker' and a lot of meanings appeared but there is one thing that caught my attent

Inka's Point of ViewI looked around Read's Penthouse to find something that will lead me to know who Read is. I mean he is one of the billionaire in this country but I think there is more than just him being a famous rich guy.I opened a door and found out it was his office, looking around I observed that there are no cameras in here.I guess it is hidden. Knowing Read, he wouldn't just let his office off guard specially that this place have some important files and documents.I walked inside and tried to figure out what to do first. I acted like I was just looking around so that I wouldn't be caught sneaking in the camera.Okay, Inka think. Would you actually risk yourself and look around for some files in his table or get out of this room and just give up?I heaved a sigh and stretch my arms. Okay! Time to dig up some information.I started looking at his table, I found some documents about a certain company called Choi Enterprises. Oh, I guess this is the documents of his company.

Inka's Point of ViewWhat's with all of these guys and their nicknames. Like seriously! Prodigy? Alpha? Gentleman? Berserker?Maybe they have some group? A pop star group?"What's with the nickname? I heard Read was called the Berserker." I said as I chopped some onions and garlic."You don't know?" Joshua said as he took the last bite of his apple"Know what?" I asked and looked at him.He was just looking at me intently, like reading me. His eyes showed confusion then it became cold as he smiled a little."Its what we are called on our group of friends." He answered and nodded. He was like convincing himself more than me."Are you sure? Cause your face shows it doesn't." I commented and raised a brow at him.He just chuckled and shrugged his shoulders before turning his back and went to the living room."If you want to know something goes ask Read. He knows more than I do." He said and sat at the couch.He's right. I wouldn't even be in this situation if Read didn't take me out of my

Inka's Point of ViewI saw how his eyes flashed showing some glimpses of his emotions. Shock, confused, then pain after that it came back to his own dull and lifeless eyes."Where did you heard that?" He askedI sat up and looked at him."I heard it from Andrew, he called you that," I answered himHe sat back up and leaned back at the headboard, he heaved a sigh and just looked straight."Its a name with a dark story." He started"Can I know the story?"He glanced at me then looked straight ahead. He started talking, telling me the story as his eyes looked foggy. Like he was having his own flashback as he tell me every detail of that certain name."F-Father! I can't!" the little boy yelled to his father who was standing behind him.The boy was holding a sword, a perfect sword made for him to kill. To inherit the throne of his beloved father.His father went down to his level, gripping his both shoulders while looking at his eyes."Look straight into my eye, Read." His father whispered

Inka's Point of ViewI woke up with a feeling of a heavy thing on my waist. I groaned and opened my eyes.The sun shined through the window blinds, I heard a soft snore behind me and an arm wrapped around my waist.I turned around and saw Read's peaceful face. His hair was messy but besides that, everything about him screams perfection. I remembered what he said last night, I don't know if it was a dream or what but the feeling was beyond words. I smiled and kissed his cheeks. I carefully slipped out of his grip and hopped out of the bed, went to the bathroom to do some morning routines then went to his kitchen.I saw the dinner I made last night untouched so I reheated it at the microwave as I make some coffee. I wonder if he likes strong or creamy ones?When the food was ready, I fixed the table and prepared everything then went back up to his bedroom. I saw him still asleep and that's when I realized that he was topless.The blanket went down showing his perfect sculpted upper body

Inka's Point of View"What do you mean you're not sure?" I asked confused as he heaved a sigh and looked back at us."I'm not sure because I didn't know it was him and I was told too late that the guy I was beating was a minor!" Read exclaimed frustrations lacing at his voice."Can you at least explain it to us?" Wayne asked groaning at the building tension in the atmosphere."I-I... It was 7 years ago when I had a failed shipment and I was enraged because that was the biggest and expensive shipment that I had. My men told me that someone was there and messed up our shipments so I went there to see who was that someone." He stated as he sat back in his chair"I saw a boy, he was tall and muscular so I assumed that he wasn't a minor anymore. He was just wearing a black shirt, pants and some old rubber shoes. He was wearing a mask so I didn't saw his face but when I saw him holding by my men, I got angry and just pour my anger out at

Inka's Point of ViewI felt a tap on my cheeks as I groaned. I opened my eyes and saw Read's face, he was smiling a little and gently tapping my cheeks."What?" I groaned and yawned"We're already here." He stated and I looked around.As I have observed, I knew that we are in a different city already. This one looks like a town in a province. It was peaceful and you could see the people having some conversation with each other."Where are we?" I asked Read and he smiled"On an Adventure. Come on, the best part would start soon." He said and I nodded hopping off of his car."How come it's so peaceful in here?" I asked and he shrugged"I guess since everyone wanted to go where the progress starts, they abandoned the place where they can get peace." I heard him muttered and I agreedI looked around and found myself smiling at the peaceful ambiance that the town has. The sky had turned into a sha

Inka's Point of ViewRead parked his car at the basement of his quarters. It was my first time going here and I can say that it looks scary as hell. I looked around and saw his men full of weapons around their bodies."These men of yours, who trained them?" I asked glancing at Read who was taking something from the trunk"I did. I'm not known as the Berserker if my men aren't lustful on blood now, would we?" He answered and I noddedWe walked inside his quarters. A lot of his people were there, some on training, some were just chilling at the side and some would walk and run back and forth. We walked inside a room that I think would be his office since it looks like one. Entering, I saw Wayne sitting on the couch while looking at some files that he was holding. He looked at us and immediately stood up as he greeted Read and me."Have you run a full search on the building?" Read asked as he sat down at his swivel chair

I smiled to myself and snuggled closer, feeling his warmth more."Good Morning," He greeted, his voice was husky and that sent a lot of weird feeling into my heart.I looked at him and smiled as I greeted him back. He snuggled closer as I played with his hair."Got any plans for today?" I asked and he just hummed back before looking at me"Just a few paperwork and visit to a site, why?" He asked back and I shrugged"I just missed you, that's all," I mutteredHe looked at me, confused and worried as he sat up and stare back at me."Something wrong?"I shook my head and chuckled. He didn't believe it so I decided to punch him a little."You were so busy for a while that I had spent my whole

Inka's Point of ViewDays turned to weeks and weeks turned to months since the day that Andrew saw my vulnerable state. Read told me that the cameras installed around my office were just inside the office itself and nothing around the whole building. I had told Andrew not to tell Read about what happened in the conference room because I am not ready to tell about it to anyone yet and he agreed.Andrew and I had been closer than ever, Read was continuously busy because of his mafia duties and his work as a billionaire. Whereas Andrew had always accompanied me and acting as a personal bodyguard, he claims that he is worried if I was left alone because he felt like someone might attack me anytime considering that someone planted a lot of cameras around my office.I haven't told anyone that I saw Josh coming out of my office suspiciously. I might ruin their whole alliance if I told something about it and misinterpret it. And I can't ri

Inka's Point of View"What happened?"The moment Read entered my office, he looked like he was ready to kill. Behind him were three bulky guys who were wearing an all-black outfit."Please don't tell me you went right into the lobby with them," I told him while shooting a glare at them"We didn't. We went inside the parking lot." He told me and I nodded, I don't want to cause some rumors to my workers."So what happened here?" He asked and Andrew told him what happened a while ago"Do you have any idea who had been at your office?" He asked me and I shrugged my shoulders."Basically it would have been me and my secretary since this is my office, also some other employee that wanted to walk to me would come here but besides that. I got no idea who." I explained and he nodded.Read looked at Andrew who was in deep thoughts."We need to have some investigation and a clean up

I heard Read commented behind meI shrugged my shoulders and shot a glare at the three guys."I can't believe that you three actually tricked me. Ugh!" I exclaimed still denying the fact that I was gullible enough to believe something."We won't be successful if we aren't a great actor, Inka. It's part of our job." Josh answered and stretched his arms.I rolled my eyes as I sat on the couch. Our dinner date ended with a comfortable atmosphere. Read talked a lot, he shared with me some experiences, stories and a lot of things. I felt normal, WE felt normal. No mafia, no killings, nothing.I looked at his cousin who walked out of the kitchen. Read said that she was a part of a trio group that serves as the brain of his empire. He added that

Hi! Before I start this chapter, I just have a small request for you guys. Can you drop some feedbacks and comments for this story? It would be a great help since I want to know what parts am I lacking and if this book suits your taste, can you give me some stars too? Thank you so much! I'm always open to criticization. :)Inka's Point of View"Wayne was right. The one who was occupying the White Island was Felix, Fash's twin. Keziah was Fash's lover not until Keziah had been abducted because of Felix. Felix is an obsessed guy, he loves what Fash's loves, including Keziah." Read started explaining and I listened."I figured this out when I had captured Keziah. She is also under the control of Felix.""How can that Felix control people?" I asked, confused because I know that it takes a lot of work to control one person using something. Well, hypnotizing can work but it also takes a lot of time."Fash and

Inka's Point of ViewI groaned as I regain my consciousness, my head throbbed in pain as I opened my eyes. I realized that I was in our bedroom. I looked around and saw no one, not even Read. I rubbed my temple as another wave of headache came and I began to feel nauseous.The door suddenly opened revealing Read in his bloody shirt and messy hair."You're awake already?" I heard him askedI closed my eyes and tried to suppress the headache, I felt the bed dipped as he sat beside me."Are you okay? What are you feeling?" He asked"I'm okay just a massive headache," I answered and massaged my temples"Don't worry it will end soon. It's just the drugs." He answeredI was in too much pain to ask anything so I just nodded, a little disoriented. I lay my head back at the bed and groaned. I was really feeling weak but I tried to fight the tiredness away but couldn't and realized that I am slipping away fro
