"What is this?" He asked while caressing the bullet mark on her leg. She stayed silent. Letting him guess it on his own. He continued to caress her mark until his expression slowly turned dark. His jaw clenched in anger and he slowly turned his gaze to look into her eyes. His eyes were red and his pupils were throbbing. She could see his chest heaving up and down."Tobias did this?" He asked and she nodded without any hesitation. He looked back at her bullet scar and spoke while looking at it. "Where else?" He asked. "On my left shoulder." She said and he looked at her. His eyes were red and she could see tears in them. He let go of her leg and turned her around. She closed her eyes once he yanked her shirt down to look at the scar on her shoulder. She could feel him pausing."It must be ugly...The scar." She said, her breath hitched when she felt his warm lips on her shoulder scar. She felt her shoulder getting wet indicating that it was his tears. He pecked her scar several times be
"Thank God, it's nothing serious but you need to rest for a while, your wounds are fresh." The doctor said, moving away from Tobias once he was done with his treatment. The doctor glanced at Tobias as his nurse was packing up the stuff. Tobias sat on the bed silently with a stern look on his face. He kept staring at the wall in front of him. The doctor gulped once he noticed a furious look on Tobias' face and quickly helped the nurses in packing the stuff. Both of them bowed at Tobias before walking out of the room. "Fuck this." Tobias cursed and threw the lamp in the corner of the room which was resting on his bedside table just a few seconds ago. A loud, shattering noise echoed in the room as he gritted his teeth in anger. How did his plan backfire once again? He gulped and looked at the door before yelling for his guards. Once his guards entered the room, he ordered them to call Damon and his spy into the room.He sat on the bed quietly recalling the incident again and again. Did
"Aghhh." Leah slowly sat up on the bed and looked around. Her eyes roamed around the room and widened in no seconds when she realized what happened last time. She fainted while they were doing it. She looked down at herself and found herself fully dressed in new clothes.Did he clean her?She pushed the blanket away and looked at the time. "Shit." It was three in the afternoon. Since how long has she been knocked out? She slowly put her feet down on the floor and kept glaring at the time, she felt her waist would break. "Th-That bastard." She clenched the bedsheet beneath her in a fist. "That horny asshole." She scratched her head in anger. She never thought she would lose her virginity, let alone fall in love or get married and here she already lost her V card to someone she least expected."Jerk." She cursed him again and looked at her left side. Her eyes paused on the vase placed on the bedside table. Dry roses were placed in it. She frowned and got closer to the vase. Her pupi
On the other side of the mansion, where the guards were heavily guarding the gate, stood a woman on the other side of the door looking at the mansion with a slight frown on her face, as the sun rays were hitting her face directly. She held onto her huge belly and continued to stare at the mansion until a guard walked outside from the side door. "What can we help you with?" The guard asked the pregnant lady. "Ah, I'm Mia. I'm here to meet your boss." Mia said and the guard shook his head. Mia was desperate to meet Igneel because he was the only one who knew where Leah was. "But he's not here." The guard said and Mia gulped. "I came from a little far. It would be nice if you guys let me in." Mia said and the guard looked at her from head to toe before nodding. "We can't let you in the mansion but you can sit under the shade in the garden." The guard said and Mia nodded. Both of them walked inside the mansion through the side door. Everyone turned their gazes toward Mia. Some of them
"I don't want to hear you." She said with a sad expression on her face that she can barely hide from him. "What's wrong?" He asked and loosen his grip on her wrists, he grabbed her bandaged hands in his hands as his thumb gently rubbed her palms."Is something bothering you?" He asked as he bent down to her face level. She quickly shook her head and looked up at him. "Don't look at me like that." He said the innocent look she had in her eyes was doing things to his heart and body as well."Well...ah...W-What do you want to s-say?" She asked and he looked around. A few maids were walking here and there, so the place wasn't appropriate for the conversation. "Let's go somewhere else." He said and grabbed her hand as he started to wall towards a certain direction. He opened a door and some stairs led downstairs. They were wooden stairs and were heavily crafted in designs. Basically not those stairs which belong to dusty basements.She frowned and quietly followed him downstairs once he cl
"Shhh...calm down...I'm all yours, Camellia." He said and caressed her hair which was resting on her back. He wanted to take a sniff of her long hair but since his wrists were tied and she was smooching out his face, not that he is complaining...he could not have a sniff of her hair."Wow." He said as she slowly moved down and kissed his neck. He could feel butterflies dancing in his stomach and his heart was running a marathon as if it wanted to win...win as if a heart attack. He closed his eyes when she kept smooching his neck until he got hard. "It's your fault." He said and threw his head back giving her excess to his neck. Letting her kiss as much as she wanted. No one ever dominated him other than Tobias back then but now he is gladly letting her dominate him. Acting like a pure simp. Only if his men knew he had such a side, they would stop respecting him."Ahh shit." He cursed under his breath when she accidentally rubbed his bulge. "Enough...you must be sore from last time."
"Granny, where did Leah onee-chan go?" Yuri asked while entering the kitchen. Her hands were behind her back as she stomped in while looking around the kitchen in search of Leah. "Oh, she's with Igneel," Georgia said while cutting some cabbages. Once Yuri heard Leah was with Igneel the thought of searching for her further died."Oh...what are you making?" Yuri asked while sitting on the chair in front of Georgia, watching her cut the cabbage. A gentle smile made its way on her lips and she glanced at Yuri before diverting her back to the cabbage."Cabbage stew and Cabbage soup." She said and looked at Yuri in order to have a look of disgust on her face but the girl was rather smiling. "You like cabbage?" Georgia asked and Yuri smiled as she put her elbows on the slab in front of her. Her chin rested on the knuckles of her hands."I like everything," Yuri said and Georgia smiled. "Igneel likes Cabbage a lot. Most people don't. Every year a whole truck of cabbage comes from the village,
Yuri smiled and went back to her work. The man was rather different from her imagination. Judging by his appearance she thought he would speak harshly but he rather looked like a lost child trying to fight his elders. Only if she knew he was exactly a harsh speaker who liked threatening people, scaring them out of their wits whether it was a man, woman, or a child.In his mind...he was controlling his inner demons because she was related to Igneel. Both have their own predictions of each other's personalities shrugged off the topic. "Why don't you guys stay for dinner? We are making Cabbage stew and Cabbage soup." Georgia said and Nicola made a disgusted face. "Eww, Cabbage," Nicola said with a disgusted expression on his face. Both the men stood near the kitchen entrance with a disdained expression plastered on their handsome features."Well..me and Yuri were making it with so much heart and effort," Georgia said, glancing at Samuel who was looking at Yuri. His disdainful expression
Mateo?Freya?Is it you two?Is this a dream?Snapping her eyes open, the first thing Leah saw was the falling sun ray striking her face through the slightly opened curtain. She knitted her brows in a frown and closed her eyes, turning her face to the other side. Her eyes darted toward the clock hanging on the wall, it was 5: 30 PM. She rubbed her eyes and kept lying in the same position for a while. Her mind recalled her dream again and again where she saw her unborn kids. Her hands automatically caressed her pregnant belly. Igneel died by getting shot.She died during childbirth.She gulped the lump in her throat, this dream was possible if Igneel died that day, the bullet targeting his heart, fortunately, the bullet dodged his vital points and he survived.She closed her eyes and smiled. Her hands are still caressing her pregnant belly.And now they were married for two years and were soon about to have twins. The kids she saw in her dream... were her unborn babies. A boy named M
"Slow down, you guys go quietly and sit on the couch. We will leave soon." An old lady said in a scolding tone. The two little kids shared a glance. One had a mischievous naughty intention in his eyes while the other one innocently did what she was told to perform.She walked towards the couch with her little feet and with a lot of difficulties managed to pull herself onto the couch as she watched her twin brother follow behind the old grandma."Grandma, Mateo is following you to steal the cookies." The old lady who was walking towards the kitchen swiftly turned around with the cookie tray in her hands. The cookies were yet to be baked. She eyed the little munchkin following behind her and passed him a scolding look but that did nothing for the naughtiness in his eyes to fade away. He stared up at his grandma with a mischievous gaze but he looked up at her expectantly as well."Say...you want to push the dish in the oven? You want to help me?" The old lady asked and he grinned widely
"Still that does not give you the right to do evil." She said looking right into his eyes. She didn't know what Tobias' plan was. In the end, they were still standing in the same place as per plan. The only thing out of the plan was a beaten-up Elijah. What was his true motive? "Now you're gonna tell me what's right and what's wrong?" He asked, she didn't utter a word and lowered her gaze. Trying to figure out his motive. "What...what is your true motive?" She asked and looked up at him again. He snorted and raised his brows at her."My true motive is the empire. I need the empire as I'm the true heir of it." He said, his words made sense but as Igneel said long ago, giving him the empire will be like killing thousands of innocent people."And so is Igneel." She said and he tilted his head at her. "Huh? Are you comparing me with that filth?" He asked and she sarcastically chuckled. "The one you're referring to as filth was the one who truly endured everything for the throne. If you
She stared at Elijah with wide eyes.This means Tobias was aware of Elijah's true identity. He slowly raised his face, a purple mark beside his right cheek and another purple mark on his left cheekbone. His lip was busted and his left eye was bloodied red and swollen."Elijah?" She whispered under her whiff and stared at him shocked. He glanced at her before lowering his gaze again. "Ahh...you see, my dear comrade, was your lover's puppet," Damon said and put his hands on her shoulders from behind. She abruptly turned around and pushed him away, passing him a furious glare."And you? You were his dog all this time." She said pointing towards Tobias, her voice was so loud it reverberated in the whole empty building. "Who is that woman in the hospital? Is she your mom or is it an act too?" She asked, lowering her hand. Her eyes turned red as she passed him a furious glare."She is my mother." He said while shrugging. There was no gentleness in him, his calm and gentle face now looked
Leah kept silent, not knowing how to comfort him.Tobias' hate towards Igneel was indeed rooted because of their father.He was a greedy man and his greed was the fall of his empire.She said nothing and grabbed his cold hands in her warm ones, as she raised her right hand and slightly caressed his left cheek.He sadly chuckled and turned his gaze to look at her. "And in all this chaos, you also severely suffered." He said and kissed her palm which was caressing his left cheek. "Forgive me." He apologized and she quickly shook her head."It's not your fault." She said and gently smiled at him. All of a sudden he moved away from her, making her smile drop and her hand freeze in the air. She was shocked but the next instant she was happy when he lay down on the couch and rested his head on her lap. She raised her hands and caressed his face with her fingertips."Say...what did you do all these years? Did you continue your studies?" He asked and she sighed. "No, I didn't continue my stu
"It's been a while." Damon stood in front of her with a gentle smile on his face.Seeing him, Leah did not panic and instead passed him a smile too."Yes, how are you? How is Aunt doing?" Leah asked and he chuckled. "Will you not let me in?" He asked and she quickly got away from him to enter. Her eyes flickered downstairs on the guards. He stepped inside and walked in without taking his shoes off.Leah watched him go inside the living room with a constant smile on her face.She silently followed him behind in the living room. "Would you like to have a drink?" She asked politely and he shook his head. "I'm not here to drink, please sit down." He said and she nodded before sitting down beside him. Two arms distance between them."That scary-looking man down there. Who are those men?" He asked and Leah chuckled. "Those people work under me...my lover. Ever since the fire incident, he has been extraordinary and worried about me. So he hired them for me." She said and he slightly frowne
Pulling the bed sheet near her chest, the sounds of birds chirping outside awakened Leah from her slumber. She slowly opened her heavy eyelids and stared at the wall in front of her in a daze. Once again she was lied to.That man didn't stop with just one round he doesn't know when to stop. She didn't know one had such a high level of horniness in them. Her neck was filled with bites and love marks and they were slightly stinging. She closed her eyes and recollected last night's scenes. Her scalp was like a hot pot by the time she started to go back in time. "En...Leah...Ahh...Fuck."He groaned and cussed near her ear as his hands were holding her thighs up, spreading them and taking her, ravishing her to the point she was trembling from head to toe. She gripped the bed sheet beneath her and stared at him with her half-open eyelids. Tears streamed down her eyes and disappeared in her hairline, slightly wetting the pillow beneath her.They were trying their best not to make any soun
"I'm going to bed," Yuri said and Leah nodded. "Sweet dreams," Leah said and Yuri walked towards her room. "Sweet dreams," Yuri said, her voice slightly loud as it faintly echoed in the first portion and a lot louder in the second portion. Since she had to go to university she went to bed a lot earlier than Leah. Leah kept sitting on the couch in the living room. She was busy watching a movie when she heard someone knocking on the door of the second portion. It was pretty cold outside so she gave the first portion to Igneel's men so they can spend the night inside rather than standing outside in cold. She even made tea for them and called one of them upstairs so he can take the tea downstairs for others. He was pretty happy even though all she did was make tea for them.She frowned and stood up from the couch. Her toes were freezing as she wore her slippers. She looked at the time and it was 12: 17 AM. Thinking it was one of his men she didn't ponder much and walked up to the door. S
"I already told you, we won't be staying here, which part did you not understand?" Leah asked Yuri while sitting on the chair beside her. They were currently in the kitchen having breakfast."Did Igneel agree on it?" Yuri asked while chewing on her sandwich. "Why? You want his permission?" Leah asked and Yuri passed her a pissed look. "Why do you have to take it that way? I'm just asking." Yuri said and threw her sandwich on the plate in front of her. With a pissed expression, she looked at Georgia sitting in front of them. She had a gentle smile on her face as usual as she eyed the two sisters. "He said it will take at least five to six days for the house to get reconstructed. It's been a week now. We are leaving today. I already asked him and he has no reason to hold me back." Leah said as she gulped down the last bite of her sandwich. "But...Tobias is still out there." Yuri said and Leah sighed."I know. Igneel's men will guard us and by the way, do you want to get kicked out of y
