105: Boyfriend-Girlfriend
"It felt like it's been a while since the last time I've been here."
"I'm sorry if it took long. It's my fault for lying to you. I'm really sorry, Eve."
I smiled at him. "I told you, it's alright. At least now I know my parents are safe, and Jaxon is, too."
"Ah. That mongrel." His brow went up darkly as if he remembered something. "He likes you, doesn't he?"
"I don't think so?" I'm not very sure but I just can't think of Jaxon that way. "We are just really good friends since childhood. But I didn't know he's not human until I decided to live in Lynnwood."
"Good friends." He nodded but the way his eyes turned darker made me feel like he has dark thoughts beneath his gentle eyes.
I shook my head while smiling. When I heard the house's door opened, my eyes drifted to it at once. I saw Mom and the way her lips dramatically fell open made me know how surprised she was to see me. Of course she didn

“You are quite a reader, huh. You have a lot of books,” Landon said, looking at my shelf.I think Mom really put effort in cleaning and organizing my room when I was not around. Because the last time I’ve been here, I remember the room was so messy. I was not in my usual state those days, disturbed and frustrated. Now that I’m back, I realized that I missed my room too. This room had a lot of memories with me and Carter. I could even consider this as our love nest. But although our story didn’t end good, if that could even be considered as an ending, I still treasure every moment we spent together. It’s already a part of me and I don’t think I can take it away.“Yeah. I’m a certified bookworm.”Landon looked at me with dark eyes. “A very beautiful bookworm.”I chuckled.“When do you want to meet your father?”
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 107: He is Mine, Bitch
Early in the morning the next day, I bid my goodbyes to Mom since we will be leaving for Philippines to meet Dad. She was a little sad that we are leaving so soon after I went back from my so-called vacation, but I assured her that we will come back right after a day or two.Mom already drove away and Landon and I was about to enter the car when Landon turned still. I was about to ask why when I breathed and smelled a familiar scent. It’s from a werewolf and I admit, the smell doesn’t really smell good to me. I was sure though who it was.Landon looked lethal as he turned to the direction where Jaxon is coming from. I smirked when I saw my friend. Jaxon looked relieved when he saw me. He smiled back but when his eyes drifted to Landon, his smile vanished and he raised his brow in mockery. Landon murmured some curses that I’m sure Jaxon heard clearly. Jaxon looked pissed with that but he managed to smirk playfully as i
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 108: No One But Me
“He is Landon, my boyfriend.” Husband. I wanted to say that instead but I know that would ruin the pretense. Dad will surely have a heart attack if I will say Landon is my husband and we married secretly.“Hello, Landon.”I gritted my teeth. What? After Theo. She wants to flirt with Landon this time? She could dream on!Landon didn’t return the greeting and just glanced at her once with cold and indifferent eyes. I wanted to laugh. Good for her! What does she think she is? A goddess who can lure any man she wants? She’s nothing but a bitch. I will never like her. If she would change in the future, then maybe we can be in good terms. But as of now, I don’t think that is close to being possible.“Are you studying in Lynnwood too?”We went to the living room. Natalia followed and she even had the audacity to keep on asking Landon things.&ldq
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 109: Every Detail
I bit my lower lip looking at how shocked Mom was when Landon told him that we are getting married. If she had known that I already married Landon without her and Dad's consent, for sure she had collapsed.I stared at my Mom's pale face and waited for her reaction. I smiled a little. If I had known, she would have slapped me once or did something if only Landon wasn't there. Not that she's against of me marrying, but this sudden marriage surely shocked her to the bones that she couldn't speak right away."What, Eve? You are getting married?!" The horror was evident on her voice and I have seen that one coming. "But what about your studies? Your career? You are just nineteen for goodness' sake! And what? You were just together for a week or so! Don't you think it's too early? This is so sudden!" Mom was getting hysterical.I held her hand to calm her down. I chuckled and looked at Landon who was just staring at the both of us
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 110: The Ex-Boyfriend
"Fine. Yes, I did something. I just did a little play so that Doris will see that the man she love is not worth it and nothing but a cheating asshole.""And where did he go? Mom said he left with his new love interest, is that true?" My eyes narrowed at him."No. But don't worry, he's just out of the town and will never come back. I didn't kill him or something, so relax."I relieved by that. Felix is an asshole but he's nothing compared to Landon or his men, especially the butler of the year — Henry. I'm glad he just made him disappear but didn't kill him. No matter what Felix had done, he is still a human and what he did is not heavy enough to give him a dead sentence. Anyone of us isn't in the place to give such punishment to any human."By the way, where do you want to hold the wedding?""Hmm…" I acted thinking even though at the back of my mind, I already have an answer."Wh
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 111: Jealousy
"You stay inside the car. Let me talk to him," I said and his look turned darker."You didn't answer me? Who is the boy, Eve?""Remember the second ex we talked about? It's him. Theo.""You mean the one who cheated on you with your stepsister." It was a statement, not a question.I swallowed hard when I saw how Landon's eyes turned like sharp silver cutting through me. His lethal gaze then dropped to the approaching guy outside. His jaw clenched tight and I could see the dark red tint slowly forming at the corner of his pitch black orbs."Why is he here, then? I will go with you. I want to know how important his business with you is.""I think I can handle him though," I said in a small voice.Landon looked at me darkly and before I could protest, he already opened the door and went out. I sighed and did the same.I saw Theo paused for a second when he saw me. His gaze d
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 112: Confrontation
I shook my head, grinning, and just went back to the car. Landon followed at once with his dark expression."What are you grinning at? You are happy that your ex boytoy went here just to talk to you and say those things as if he don't want you to marry me?"I grinned more and shook my head. "You are such a jealous husband, Landon. I'm not happy that I met Theo, alright. I was amused by how pissed you are because of a petty thing. You should practice to get hold of yourself, don't you think?""When it come to the guys linked to you, I don't think I can calm my temper. And yes, I do admit I'm a jealous husband. What is wrong with that?"I smirked and didn't contest on that. I just leaned on his chest and tapped a part of it slowly with my fingers. I breathed on his scent and I realized I was addicted to it.~*~*~"Ah. This is so beautiful!" Mom blurted when she saw my wedding dress.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 113: Married For Real
"Do you still love me? I want you to tell me the truth, Eve. I want you to tell me nothing but the truth.""Yes, I do still love you but I think I love Landon more now. I don't want to hurt you but it's the truth and I want to be honest because I don't want to hurt you more.""You… love him more?" The pain in his voice was like knives cutting through me, torturing me. It was like someone added salt to my wound. It was like being scolded after doing your best. That's how I'm feeling. And it hurts so bad because I know I couldn't do more. That I could do nothing but watch him in pain. How can I turn back on Landon anyway? I've learned to love him harder than how I loved Carter. My love for Landon surpassed what I feel for Carter and it's very sad. I don't how exactly did it happen considering my connection to Carter, but maybe this is my fate. To have a very complicated love life."I am sorry," was all I could say.
