"Do you want to leave me?"

"Yes, I want to leave this place, it was not for me in the first place, this was a big mistake. Everything was a mistake."

"Hahaha," Liam's handsome face was completely shattered with a crazy laugh. "hahaha!"

"Why are you laughing? This time I am serious and I will leave, you can't stop me," Emma said without a hint of emotion on her face, her voice was even indifferent and not a single remorse was conveyed in her words. Her big golden eyes didn't seem to feel any shame nor guilt from shattering the hopes the handsome man was still harboring.

"I am laughing at you, for daring to think you can leave me," his voice echoed with a dangerous aura. The air was burning and the pressure emitting from his body could make anyone lose their floor.

    The footsteps of a handsome man echoed under the cover of the night, he was walking with careful steps to the bed of a beautiful sleeping woman. She looked so peaceful but at the same time, a bit tired with dark circles under her eyes.Liam knew she had been putting a lot of effort into her training. He also knew that she hadn't answered Master Jin yet. He was happy about that but at the same time not, if she hadn't said that she won't go, then is because she is still considering it."Emma…" he whispered and caressed her soft cheek before turning away to go outside. He wanted to cool off his feelings for some time. They were getting out of control and he was afraid of hurting her again."Liam…" she whispered before he could take a step out. "Liam, don't go."She was awake, she had felt him coming inside the room as she was always waiting for him."Liam?""I need to go, I am sorry," he didn't move back but she was growing desper

    Another week had passed and Emma hadn't seen even the shadow of the Duke, only the words from Jano were her only comfort.He was still very busy with the preparations for the tournament and the guard patrols on the frontiers. The access points to the territory and Capital were his duty to protect after all. It was truly fortunate for him that the hectic tasks of the tournament were keeping his thoughts busy from the figure of a certain beautiful and silver-haired woman."Emma, won't you like to go outside to eat?""Is that alright, Master?""Yes, of course, you don't have to worry about anything with me by your side.""Okay."Emma's mood was growing sadder with each day that passed. She tried to keep her mind busy with the training but her thoughts quickly jumped to the sweet smile of a Duke, a Duke that had forgotten to visit her or share time with her anymore.She wanted to see him and she tried several times but she was denied entr

    "Brother Liam, won't you accompany us to the Sky Restaurant in the Capital?""Yes, come on Liam, there would be a gathering with the ones from the South, I think even Ilian had come this time."Liam was very busy but more than anything he was anxious. He knew that she was going to participate in the tournament and so he wanted everything to go perfect, the security had to be top-notch and the performances and shows should be good enough so that she would feel comfortable and relaxed.In fact, he could leave that job to his close assistants, even Jano, but he wanted to watch over everything. There can't be any mistake."Please, brother," Gia had stopped going to the Mansion on the Mountain as she had to train herself too, but she didn't mind at all as she heard that Liam had stopped going too. She was the happiest when she heard about the rumors. 'Then everything is over now,' she thought.Liam didn't want to meddle with some insignificant people to

    "This is the room, Your Highness."The manager opened the door and let in the three figures of the mighty dragons. The people inside were still conversing cheerfully with Master Jin to notice any other presence.However, the moment the manager called for Master Jin all of them turned around to see the arrival of the three famous people."Liam, my boy! You are here," the old man said that but he was feeling a breeze of cold air coming to his side."What do you call an angry dragon?""I don't know.""An earthquake.""Hahaha"The idiotic joke came to shatter the atmosphere. Some of them wanted to hit in the back the silly dragon but didn't want to leave a bad impression on Master Jin.However, the two still invested in their talk, Emma and Illian ignored the others from the beginning. They were eating and drinking wine while watching the show."How rare, why is there any music playing, Illian?""Emma," the sil

    He pushed her into the bed feeling her soft body with his heated hands, it was such a marvel that he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted her so much. His thoughts were constantly coming back to her every second he left idle, her beautiful figure, her slim waist, her soft breasts, her lips, neck, everything make him go crazy.All the waiting collapsed that very moment. His mind decided to give vacations to his reasoning and his instincts came in full force to the front to take over."Liam… ah!"He entered her without waiting anymore, he wanted her and he could feel her eagerness of letting him in. Her legs were wrapped on his naked waist as if preventing him from letting her go as if they were afraid of him moving apart."Emma… I want you so much!""Me too… ah!"They couldn't stop moving, him plundering his all inside her, and she screaming and gasping when a strong and pleasurable feeling invaded her."Ha…

    "Then… you are a witch?""Yes," Emma was taking breakfast with a woman with extraordinary pale blue eyes. She was an acquaintance of Elton and had come to the Capital to compete in the tournament. "And… you are a dragon?""No, I am from the fairy family Dulein near the southern frontier.""Oh…" they both had glistering eyes as they had found someone in the same circumstances, they were even smiling knowingly at each other. They were so entranced in their little conversation, that they failed to notice the intense eye battle of the two men beside them.'Shouldn't you go now?' The Duke was throwing daggers at the man that dared to interrupt his meal with his beautiful wife. He was even planning to seduce her for a little play in the garden before going back to his duties, but now he can't.'I wish to go but certain circumstances are preventing me from that.'Elton was also not happy as he wanted to take Devon, the blue-eye

    "Emma, darling?"The moment they touched the floor of their chamber, she pushed him down to the couch to kiss him desperately. She wanted to feel him, to declare her love for him even if he was under a spell."Please, Liam, just let me… just…" he kissed her seeing her blushing cheeks and the desire written on her face. He let her open his clothes and touch him with her tiny hands and her soft lips. Then she stood up and took her clothes off while he was watching, she was such a sight to see.'Just what did the blue-eyed woman tell her," he was internally asking and maybe will later thank that woman for this gift."Ah… ah!"

    Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

    "What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

    The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning.

    Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured."

    The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market.

    I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

    They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

    The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group.
