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

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
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
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 96: Treacherous Dream
"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
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 97: Beautiful Island
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
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 98: Not My Lord
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
