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
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
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 94: Carter's Truth
I really don't understand what's going on. What is the connection of Landon and Alec? What is the thing that caused the drift between them? Because it feels like they have known each other for a long time and there was something that caused chaos between them. And why is Elizabeth even involved in this? And why do I feel like the way Alec looks at me, it feels like had seen me so many times before, that he is very familiar with my face, when the truth is, I've never seen him before. I have never met him."She is mine, Landon. Hand her to me and I shall forgive you for your aggressiveness.""Forgive me? Did I even ask for your forgiveness? No, Alec. So who are you forgiving?" Landon said with a playful, dark smirk that screams all his confidence and dominance.I want to ask Landon some questions, like what are they fighting with, but I figured that is a little out of the picture to do that now considering the rising tension i
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 95: He Wanted to Save Me
"Your mate? Do you even hear yourself, Rellis? Let me remind you that you dumped her because you told her you have found your real mate. She almost died in the hands of Vienna and her whole family was murdered. Where are you during all those times? You were not there for her. I was. So don't you fucking claim my wife as your mate," Landon snapped.I could not say anything out of anger. How dare he claim me as his fucking mate when he told me straight to my face that he was only mistaken and had found his real mate? He left me at a time I needed him the most! So who give him the right to say that? He doesn't deserve that right! He will never deserve it!"Your mate? Did I hear you right, Carter? You are claiming her as your mate?" Alec butt in, his eyes narrowing to Carter, and there was obvious darkness playing in his crimson orbs."Yes, Alec, she is my mate–"Landon growled. "No one is your mate here, asshol
