87: Yacht Party
I adjust the strap of the robe as I walk closer to the couch. There are paper bags in there, probably full of what I’m going to wear. I combed the wet hair with my fingers before looking at it.
I found t-shirts with different colors. There are also shorts and lingeries. My forehead creased. Just T-shirts? I shook and finally did nothing but put on what I had. I don't have my wardrobe, so I don't have any choice but to compromise.
After getting dressed, I stopped on the veranda. I was intrigued when I heard the waves in the distance. I hold the banister as my eyes feast on the scenery. Right from here, I can see the stunning view of El Fuego coast. I could clearly see the vast sea and its waves. The rays of the rising sun reflect in the water, making it look shining and magical.
This resort is damn beautiful. Looking at the crystalline seawater, it's making me want to take a dip and enjoy it's coldness. I also want to feel

My tears flowed. My tears mixed on the saltwater in my face. I no longer know what to believe. I no longer know what to feel. I know I shouldn't trust him. He lied to me about his past. So I should just hate him.But being in his arms again made me feel so weak ... yet safe. His presence carries danger, but now that he holds me tightly, I never felt so secured after those years of suffering. Just now, again. And it was just him, he was the only one who could make me feel like this.He looked at me. I averted my gaze. He touched my chin with his finger and lifted it up to meet his dark gaze."Look at me," he commanded. I secretly thought that my face was wet in the sea water so the crying was not obvious earlier. He stared at me intently."What are you doing?" I asked hoarsely."Staring at my most favorite sight." He remained serious. I was stunned and dazed. Do not be silent.Slowl
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 89: Familiar Man
Landon's hand was then wrapped around my waist when we entered the huge luxury yatch. I had been in different parties back when I was a human, so basically this is not new to me anymore.I was totally relieved when I saw that like Landon said, everyone in the party is vampire. Of course I trust Landon would never risk our plans in letting me go wild in an elite party, but I guess my instinct just don't trust fully and that I still should confirm it with my own two eyes.A man and a woman went to us at once. Based on how the man held the woman's waist and how intimate they were, I think they are most probably a couple. The woman was wearing a crimson red glittery dress with a big ribbon in the left shoulder. The man on the other hand is wearing a dark blue tuxedo and a bow tie. In human age, I guess they are around early thirties or something near that."I'm so
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 90: How Sweet
"How sweet, you said ma'am you don't have a boyfriend now?" Cleo giggled. His face was red, probably because of the alcohol. Liza slapped him again and told him to be quiet.Carter glared at me darkly.I was swallowed. Now his expression is more angry. And I can't find even a word to defend myself!"I'm not just her boyfriend. I'm her fiancé. We're getting married next month."My jaw dropped. They even dropped their jaws in panic. The glass Vina was holding almost slipped from her hand, the others could not speak in shock. Architect was also surprised. Even me was stunned!“We’re leaving,” he said.He never let me say goodbye to my comrades and guided me away. On our way out, some people glanced at us. There were still whispers that I was sure we were the ones in question. But no one tried to interrupt, not even the women. Maybe it's because of Carter's obvious dark and furious eye
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 91: Drowned to Him
Insanity. If there is one word that could describe that night, it would be that word. I could not believe that I had actually brought myself to do that with Landon. I gave in. I gave my virtue to him and I could not believe that I really did that. Even when I was with Carter, we never came to that point. Or maybe Carter had just amazing self-control to step over his limits. And it was different with him before because I was a human and he needed to be careful. But then, it was also different with Landon, a lot different because in the first place, I had no feelings for him. I did not love him the way how I loved Carter before. So what the hell pushed me to throw all my inhibitions away and go with the flow. It is very obvious that Landon just wants to play. Of course what else could be the reason why he did that? It is impossible that he developed some kind of feelings for me in those couple of weeks. And Landon is certainly not the 'falling' type. I even doubt if he
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 92: Getting Hopes Up
"Maybe I'll just pass by for a while, but I won't be long. I'm busy since I have two personal appointments tomorrow. You'll take care of the paperworks first. Also tell Architect Ramirez that he will meet with the client first.""How about your meeting with the representatives of Isabedra Advertising Company regarding the advertisement, ma'am? It's tomorrow, with the board.""Reschedule it next week."She nodded.A few minutes after Rian left Marie said goodbye as well. She seems to have a date. I just didn’t investigate. She's been dating random men the past week. But unfortunately, she did not have a single blow."Sir has arrived, ma'am," said a maid.I first looked at the look in the mirror before leaving the room. When Marie and I left, I just went back to the room. But I haven't been in bed for twenty minutes and here I go again."Where have you been?" I asked with
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 93: Someone Wants Chaos
Death. Something I never feared of. But at that moment, for the first time, I got scared. I wasn't scared of my own death, but for his — my uncle. Sometimes I think, why are we even born when at the end, we’d just all die? I always wonder why beautiful things tend to end tragically. Just like life. No matter how beautiful your journey was, you'd still end up taking that one, narrow path that leads to one destination. Death. They say, it's not the end that matters. What's important is what your journey entails. The moments you shared with your loved ones, the smiles and laughs you spent with them, and all the things you experienced. Standing on the rooftop of the hospital, my tears fell as I stared at the dark sky, hoping that my silent prayers will be heard by someone above. My uncle got into a fatal accident. He's in a coma, and the only thing that's keeping him alive is the life support system. I couldn't organize my t
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 94: Between Life and Death
Illusion. Yes. That was it. All of that is not true. Maybe it was the product of stress and too much frustration. It can't be possible, I said to myself when I woke up on my bed the next day. I remember everything that happened on the rooftop. What the man said and what I saw in his eyes. I also remembered how Nari came and called me. And the next second, the stranger disappeared on thin air as if he wasn't even there. Nari didn't even see him. So, I thought everything that happened was just an illusion. Maybe Uncle's situation triggered something in my head. I got a trauma long time ago, so maybe that is the reason why hallucinations resurfaced again. I got up despite the weight of the body. I bathed and got dressed. I'm going to the hospital to replace Nari in taking care of Uncle. Nari is a close friend. She just forced me to go home last night to rest. I didn't agree at first, but thinking about all those strange things I saw, I thought I
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 95: Talking About the Past
"Did Rage turn against his pack for Elena? What happened next?" From the portrait, Landon's eyes went to me. My eyes remained at the beautiful image of Elena Ross. I can't believe that my great great grandmother was actually an assassin back in her time. "Werewolves are bound to their mates like vampires do. They can't live without their other halves, so you think he would not do that? Rage maybe an alpha but he was still a man, a werewolf. No doubt he would do that." "Why did he die?" "As what I've told you, he was killed by Elena's enemies. As an assassin, she had killed many people and was loathed by many as well. It is not impossible for her to acquire a number of enemies over time. And with Rage alone, without his pack to support him, you think they can get by just by the two of them? Rage and Elena may be skilled fighters, but they had a lot of enemies. It is obvious that they were at a disadvantage. L
