53: Using a Chopper
Last Updated:
2022-03-29 14:58:05Mom and Felix was still not home and so as Tessa, so I have no choice but to make my own breakfast. Carter went with me to the kitchen. I just got a bowl and a box of cereals and had some milk.
"That is only your breakfast? I don't eat human food but I had lived long enough to know some things about your kind. Don't you think that is just too light for a meal?" Carter expressed his opinion about my bowl of cereal.
"What is wrong with my breakfast? This is light but nutritious. I don't like heavy breakfast at all. I'm used to this so this would do. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with this."
I sat on the high chair in front of the counter top. Carter just stood beside me.
I suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Irish will go out with Peter this night to watch movie outside Lynnwood. She invited us. It is not a bad idea."
"If you want to go, then I will go with you," he said right away as

"Don't tell me you have a chopper at your house's backyard?" I asked while grinning."We don't, but I can buy one. I also knows how to fly one, even a plane," he said plainly, without a hint of arrogance but any human man who would hear it would surely be hit by insecurity."Is there even something that you can't do?" I think it is also a perk of being alive for centuries. You can try out everything without worrying about time."Actually, there is."My eyes narrowed. "What?" Because for me, it seems like there is nothing he can't do. Every time I look at him, he always give me the impression of someone who is capable of doing anything that he would want. He has the air that screams power and authority as though he is invincible. That is why to hear him say himself that there is something that he is not capable of doing, it sounds very new and I can't help but be somehow astonished."I can't stop loving you."The wind blew my hair.

The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.Carter's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Carter giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.I was to carried away that I didn't notice Carter was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me.

"Hi, Eve! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Carter," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Eve and uh... Carter," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Carter's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Carter is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Carter still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about s

Right after we finished the movie, Irish told us about the pizza house near here she had long wanted to visit. I just agreed and didn't bother myself about Peter and his views. After all, everyone has a freedom to think whatever they want to, and so as he. It just happened that I was the topic of his thoughts and it wasn't so nice. But then since I can see that he is treating Irish fairly, I think I can let that pass."That movie was so amazing! You saw how Lucy punched the killer straight to his face? Dang, so powerful," Irish was bubbling about the movie the whole time we were on the table. I answer her to make some conversation. Peter also joins the talk sometimes. Meanwhile, Carter was just sitting calmly and silently beside me, holding a glass of drink as his prop.Although I was trying to respond and equal Irish's enthusiasm about the movie we had watched, my mind was slowly drifting away from the topic. And it didn't help that t

"You have known him for that long as well, but there must be things you don't know about him yet," Carter said with a lower voice as if he intentionally lowered it to hide something he did not want me to sense."I don't understand. You sound like you know something about him that I don't."He sighed. "I do know something about that boy that you don't. But his story is not mine to tell. Even if I don't see him as something vital in this world, I think he still has the right to say it to you himself. Well, that is if he ever has a plan to tell you."What Carter said was a big puzzle to me. But this time, I know that even if I insist that he should tell me, I know that he won't. And I think he also has a point. If it something confidential, then it is not his story to tell anymore. The thing here is, I'm not sure what he is referring to. Is it some sort of a secret that Jaxon has yet to tell me? Or not should be told but I shou

I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Carter that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Carter told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for the girlfriend to be nervous when meeting her boyfriend's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on lo

"Hi, Eve. I'm Roselle. Welcome to our home," Roselle said in her sweet, feminine voice that could surely sooth anyone's heartaches."Hello," I replied, a bit fluttered."Here is Franklin, my husband," she added."It is nice to meet you, Eve," Franklin said in a deep baritone. He is very manly and I'm sure even with all his children, women would still go beyond hell just to have him. But I don't think he would even glance at other women with him having a wife as beautiful as Roselle."So it's really true that Mayor Walter's daughter is really beautiful," Roselle praised. I could feel the heat on my cheeks."Ah," I smiled shyly because I didn't know what to say.I just glanced around to ease the tension I am feeling. Like Carter had said, everyone is present. Sitting on the sofa were Thomas and Crislord, both observing the happenings. Travis is standing near the staircase, playing with somethin

He stepped on the gas and the speed went like crazy. His speed didn't scare me anymore. It feels like I'm already used to it. What makes me worry is the fact that a vampire is after my head and is willing to do anything to kill me. It sounds like a scene in some suspense movie, but I can't feel any kind of thrill at this point. I am afraid that the hunter would end up killing somebody else since he could not touch me because I am under a powerful vampire family's protection.I got my phone in my jeans and searched for Mom's number in my contacts. She won't be home soon, so we cannot talk in person. So I am left with no choice but to talk with her on the phone to say my alibi. In that way, she will not worry over me if I won't be home for the next few days."Hello, Eve. What's with the call?" Mom asked on the other line."Mom," I paused and organized my thoughts. I couldn't think of any alibi that I could use that would be be

Eve’s POVTears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Landon, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Carter is getting married?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea Da Vinci is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Carter’s heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 130: Happy Ending
One would really doubt if he would know my history and how I ended up lying on the sacrificial table voluntarily as an offering for whatever ritual this is. The night after I came to see Alec is the month's full moon—the day of the ritual. Alec must be so happy that I am finally making his dream come true. I could see it in his eyes. Though, I could also see that he felt not the least bit of remorse for what is about to happen. All I could see in his eyes is pure excitement, joy and nothing else. He will never regret this for sure. He has no conscience.On the other hand, I know how Elizabeth would feel if she would wake up in another person's body who looks exactly like her and know that for her to come back, she needed to kick out the poor girl's soul out of her own body so she can replace it. She would feel real bad for sure. She would despise Alec more than what she did before. She would also despise herself for being the cause of it al
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 129: Rot in Hell
Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec bloc
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 128: Play Her Game
“I’m so sorry, Landon,” I whispered in the wind softly, silently wishing that it will bring those words to where it is ought to be. I shut my eyes closed and reminisced about my good memories with him because I don’t know if I will have another chance later on. Not that I am announcing my death. I just want to be open for possibilities. After all, to be ready for the worst is something good. It is better actually.When I was finally out of the cab, I sucked on my breath when I saw what was waiting for me. it was like an ancient castle. Somewhat like those abandoned castles of the villains in fairytales. Only that this time I am not in fairytale. And I am certainly not a princess who would be saved by her prince charming and have a happy ending later on. I had already tasted my happy ending. It wasn’t meant to last, though. I already accepted that. My life sucks. And I’m going to make it worse. Or maybe better s
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 127: Dangerous Decision
Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, earn a medical degree, make a good career, marry later on to my boyfriend at that time and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought m
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 126: Please Survive
"Can I talk to you?" I was surprised when Carter went to me that afternoon after we had a short meeting about the plans for tomorrow.Landon looked our way. I smiled a little to him, my way of silently telling him that it's okay. I brought my gaze back to Carter and I nodded.We walked to the backyard of the house. There was silence between us and it felt so odd. I could remember vividly what all that happened to us, and now it only felt like a far away dream. Something I can never touch again. A place I can think about but will never reach again. Even so, I didn't regret ending what was between us. He might be my first true love, but Landon is my great love. I hope that is enough to differentiate the two."I just want to say sorry about the last time we talked. It didn't end good," he was the one who broke his silence."It's alright. I know you were hurt. In fact, I should be the one apologizing, not you."He gave me a sad smile. "I'm glad that yo
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 125: Don't Say That Again
One day is left and I can say that the two days had passed were the hardest two days of my life. Not because of the hard training I received from Henry, Jaxon and Thomas, but because it seemed that there was still tension between the three sides. And it is worth mentioning that Landon almost broke Jaxon's jaw. They have been an ass to each other no matter how Landon tries to behave. Carter is on his best behavior, though, no one can contest that. But I noticed his bold glares at Landon sometimes whenever their opinions oppose each other. I appreciate how he is trying to behave even though it's obvious that he has been trying to be patient with Landon this whole time."Ah. I hate the other men in your life. I fucking hate their guts," Landon whispered to me one time. I just laughed and pulled him to a hidden corner to give him a short kiss."Thank you for being patient for me. I appreciate it," I said while my hands were on his nape.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 124: Training for the War
“Henry? Why Henry when you can train me yourself?” I asked Landon because I really want him to train me himself. I know he is skilled enough to do that. He is powerful and very strong so I don’t understand now why he wants Henry to train me in heavier training when he already trained me in some basics before. I mean what is wrong with that? I am sure he is capable enough to teach me everything I need to learn. Not that it can guarantee that I will learn everything within three days because that is really impossible and I know that, but let's just say I am more comfortable around him than anyone else. Not that Henry makes me uncomfortable. He is a great man and a very loyal one, of course. But can’t I have my husband train me so we can have more time together? I mean who knows what will happen three days from now? No one knows what will happen—well, except those vampire/s who have the ability of precognition—but except the
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 123: Not Anymore
I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it that all this time the Lucian I was reading about in Elizabeth’s diary was the one who took care of Landon ever since he was a child, the man Elizbeth loved first and Alec killed him because of jealousy. I can’t help but feel a little guilty even though it wasn’t really something I did. I don’t know. It must be because no matter what I say, Elizabeth is still my great grandmother, someone tied to my bloodline, and most importantly, someone who looked exactly like me.“You shouldn’t feel guilty about it, Eve. you have nothing to do with it so you shouldn’t feel the least bit guilty. Even I don’t blame Elizabeth for anything. It just happened that destiny chose to play with her. She found love with a human but ended up meeting her mate and she was powerless when it came to vampire bond. Trust me, a lot are slaves to that bond, and I’
