90: How Sweet
Last Updated:
2022-03-29 15:45:01"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

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

"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

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

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

"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

"Kill her."When I heard that familiar voice, I opened my eyes at once. There were men in front of me, their eyes glowing red. They looked at me as though they are ready to kill me. I felt nervous but the nervousness I was feeling faded when I saw who was standing a few steps behind the vampire men in front of me.It was Carter.His eyes were also glowing red but it looked very cold. His face was emotionless and dark. And the way he looked at me… it was as if he was looking at someone he loathed, someone he had never had feelings with, someone he didn't share memories with. The look was full of indifference and nothing else. It felt like he was looking at someone not important, someone who was never been a vital part of his life.It hurt. But somehow, the pain I felt wasn't as potent as the pain I felt when he left me back when I was still a human. It was just a tinge, and I wonder why. I still feel pain bu

When the helicopter landed in the island, I was in awe. There is no doubt that the place is amazing. The white sand, the crystal clear waters, even the manor beyond the coast looked magnificent. I had already forgotten how it feels to be in such place, to enjoy nature and not worry anything else. I forgot that feeling, but now I do feel like it is coming back. I don't know why with Landon, I'm starting to feel at ease despite everything that happened to me. It's not a good news considering what kind of person he is.Landon is certainly not the type of person who would have that kind affection to someone. He is self-centered. He only thinks about his own business and what can benefit him. It's not bad to be self-centered, right. I'm just stating because people like him tend to view love as nothing but trash. Not that I love him. I don't love Landon. It's just, I got a little weird feelings for him that I'm worried of."What do you think

I honestly couldn't believe it. I know that whatever I feel for Landon right now is way far from what I felt for Carter before. But am I really capable of loving someone like that again after such disastrous heartbreak? I thought I couldn't. I thought I wouldn't be able to. But why do I am starting to feel different whenever I'm with Landon? What are these strange yet wonderful feelings? Why can't I stop myself every time he touches and kisses me?It's not because we have been sleeping together. It is not mainly because of our physical relationship. I don't know when it started or how, but I just realized one day that I feel that kind of weird feelings for him. I know it is the thing I should have avoided in the first place, but what can I do with what I am feeling for him? I don't think I can just get it away from me. I don't think I just can forget this feeling at once. I refuse to say that I love him… but thinking of about losing him&he

Deceiving the Mafia Lord Epilogue
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’
