68: Fighting Friends
"So, you really want to be like him? To be a bloodsucker just because of that goddamn love?"
"We have different choices in life, Jax. And my choice is to be with him, why can't you just respect that?"
"I would respect it if it's something that is good for you, Eve, not the other way around!"
"How can you say that it's not something that is good for me when you don't even know what I feel?"
"What you feel is out of the equation, Eve. Not everything that feels good is good for you. Vampires are humans' biggest predator. They are dangerous. Being with them will only put your life in danger."
I shook my head. "Put my life in danger? They just protected me, Jax. They saved me, so how can you say that they will only put my life in danger?" I am starting to get annoyed with him again. I hate how he is trying to ruin the Rellis' image in my mind. But I know better. Franklin and Roselle are very good people, and

“Why did you pick this movie when you said you had watched it three times already?”“Because it is one of my favorite movies and I want you to know what my favorites are, including my favorite movie.”“We are still halfway to the end, but I got a strong feeling that it will not be a happy ending.”I smirked. In A Walk To Rememberby Nicholas Sparks, when Jamie’s illness was revealed, it was quite obvious that it wouldn't be a happy ending. I learned about the movie first but I also read the book later on. I like movies, but I don’t know why I feel a lot more connection with the characters in the book and understand the emotions better. I guess maybe it is because in the book, you can read the characters’ emotions and thoughts through the lines. But I guess it’s not for everyone since there are also people who prefer to watch movies rather than just read books.“Well, you are right, the

Jaxon may have been wrong for saying that but I understand that he did say that because he has valid reasons and I respect that as his friend. He only wants to save me from the danger he thinks I am into. I have no problem with that, but I just really hope that he will be sensitive to my feelings next time.“A bowl of cereal again? Aren’t you tired of that? You should eat something healthier, you know.”I chuckled. “What do you know about the healthy foods of humans, anyway?”“I have lived with humans for the past four centuries and it would be too dumb of me if I have no knowledge about your kind after all those years.”Well, he has a point. It is really a perk of being an immortal. However, I do not dream to live an eternal life in the world, so I decided that if I was given a choice, I would want to be like Carter. I only dream to become like him because through it, I would be able to be with him as long as I w
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 71: You Look Stunning
“You are hurting my feelings, Eve,” Emery keeps on convincing me to have a little celebration in their house before Carter and I will travel to the Philippines to have dinner with Dad.“I told you, Emery, I don’t like parties. It is not my thing.”Emery pouted, seems like she really won’t let it go.“Fine. let’s not call it a party, then. Just a simple celebration with you and our family. Roselle also encouraged this idea, you know. Pretty, please?”“Em,” I sighed. I don’t want to have any kind of party, especially when Emery will be the one to facilitate it. Carter had told me that she has another definition for the word simple and the celebration she is planning to do will surely not be as simple as she claims to be. However, even though I don't want that kind of celebration, I also don’t want to break her heart and disappoint her. She
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 72: Wishful Thinking
“I really hope that this ‘simple’ celebration planned by Emery is as simple as I want it to be,” I said as Carter opened the Mclaren’s door for me. Yeah, he brought a luxury car instead of his flashy Diavel. He said he knows I would be wearing the dress Emery has given to me and it would not be so inappropriate if I would ride in his Diavel with my dress. Glad that he had thought about it.“She promised it will be as simple as you imagine.” He chuckled and I do feel like he was being sarcastic.“What is her definition of ‘simple’, anyway?” I shook my head with a little smile because I already knew the answer. Emery and I definitely have different definitions of the word simple. Unfortunately, even though I already knew that fact, I still couldn't resist her charm. I don’t know why she is like that to me. I guess it is because she is so sweet and very genuine that I

“Are you sure the sun will not hurt you? It is quite hot in the Phil,” I said to Carter when we were already on board the plane.“You witnessed it first hand, right?”“Yeah, but I just want to double check it since Phil is really different from Lynnwood. The last thing I want is to have you end up burning because the sun is too hot.”He chuckled and shook his head. “Trust me, nothing can burn me, not even that mighty sun.”I was about to say more when a flight attendant came with a bright smile. She was looking at Carter as if the only passenger she could see was him. I don’t even think she noticed me. I felt like I was nothing but an air to her.“Hello, sir. Do you need anything. I can give you everything you need,” the flight attendant said sweetly that I almost flinched.However, there was no hint of interest in Carter&rsquo

"It is fine if you stay here for the meantime like originally planned. I understand that you missed George. You should spend time with him even just for a couple of days," he said that added to my doubts.He doesn't do that. He doesn't leave me behind alone. Plus the fact that he didn't even ask me if I am willing to stay behind or if I want to go with him. It was like he just wanted me to be away with him or something. And the thoughts stirring my mind made me really anxious. I have a bad feeling about this."No, I will go back to Lynnwood with you," I said with finality. I would just end up thinking about what he is hid"I just think that I need to go back to Lynnwood tomorrow morning.""Didn't we plan to stay here for a few days? Is it an emergency?""There is just something our family needs to discuss," he said calmly."Is it something connected to your family friend? Is there any problem?"
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 75: Breaking Up
“But where are we going? Is there a particular place you want to go to. I will gladly bring you there.”I really don’t have an idea and I have no particular place in mind. All I just want is to forget about my worries and I know that school is not the place for that, that is why I decided to ask Jaxon to bring me somewhere else.“Do you have something you can suggest?” I returned the question.“In our base?”I thought for a moment. I remembered about the huge and strong-looking werewolves in the woods the last time. It gave me a little shiver because the image of those giant wolves made me feel uneasy for some reason. But I guess I should get used to all the bizarre things in the world considering that my boyfriend is a vampire and my best friend is a werewolf. It is not a very ideal combination but I think I should just live with it.“Would that be okay,
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 76: In So Much Pain
“Yes, Eve. I am breaking up with you. I want to cut our ties and end everything we have here,” he continued. He didn’t falter all the way, he was merciless as though he was only talking to a random stranger and not the person he promised he would never leave.Ever since I started reading books, I have always believed that words are strong enough to change the world. It can even ruin an empire, it can cause endless battles and life-changing decisions. But I never thought that I would be put in such a situation wherein few and simple words were enough to make all my dreams crumble and my whole life collapse right before me. It was the first time and Carter made it possible. It felt as though something in my chest was clenched so hard that I could barely breathe. It was like someone dug a whole in my chest that I felt like something very important part of me was stolen. The pain I was feeling at the moment was beyond words, it was
