The guarding assignments are next. Can you guess what's going to happen? And, updates will be every other day!
ThaliaI sighed in relief when I saw that the program hadn't started yet when I entered the auditorium. I wandered my eyes around for a vacant seat and saw Daisy waving me over to the seat next to hers. I pursed my lips together in a tight smile and hurriedly walked over to where she was. Daisy looked at me suspiciously as I sat down on the chair. "Where did you go last night?" she asked. I merely shook my head. "I don't want to talk about it." However, she continued to rant. "I thought you could handle your alcohol well since you told me so, but you were only on your third glass when you got drunk." I sighed. Alright, maybe I did bluff a little bit last night. I just wanted to drink in celebration of my graduation. And apart from that, I also wanted to forget that no one ever came to the special day. "Sorry for the trouble," I said. Daisy huffed. "You should be sorry, alright. Do you know how worried I was last night? The first second, I was holding onto you to drag you back to
Thalia I sat rigid in my seat as the one and only Luciano Romano sat in front of me. After the announcement of the guarding assignments, the new guards were given a chance to interact with their assignments, so that's how we ended up here. I still can't get over the initial shock of finding out that THE Luciano Romano and the annoying "guard" that I had sex with is just one person. Talk about luck. I could feel his teasing gaze on my face, so I pursed my lips together and focused my eyes on the ground. I just hope that these thirty minutes go by rapidly fast so I don't have to talk to him anymore. "You're not so snarky now, aren't you, bambi?" he said in a teasing tone, his lips pulling up into a smirk. I let out a small breath and was about to retort, but when I remembered who this person was, I kept it to myself. My face morphed into a painful grimace as I recalled everything that I had said and done to him in the past. I talked back to him on the very first day that I got her
Thalia Time flew by fast, and it was already my first day on the job. We were given a week to go back home to our families and spend time with them before we dedicated our lives to protecting the Romano clan. I didn't go home, though. I know that no one would be waiting for me at home, so it'll be futile for me to go back. Instead, I stayed in our designated rooms and trained for the entire week. Daisy proposed for me to come home with her, but I declined. I was uncomfortable with the idea of intruding into another family's home. Now, Luciano and I were on our way to their South territory. I don't know the full details of the plan, but it seems like he has a meeting with someone around that area. "Are you nervous or something?" Luciano asked as he looked at my shaking hands. I quickly hid them behind my back and shook my head. "No," my voice faltered. "Why would I be nervous?" He chuckled. "You're definitely nervous. Don't worry. Everyone's nervous on their first day on the
Thalia "No." I tried to keep my face as neutral as possible after hearing those words. Charles wanted me in exchange for his land and Luciano just disagreed. I thought he was going to agree in a heartbear since this negotiation is very important to the clan. However, he outright refused his proposition. "No?" Charles raised one eyebrow. "I'm giving you a good deal, Luciano. I won't even ask for much money. Just give me your pretty little guard over there," he glanced at me, giving me a sultry look. "I'm giving you one last chance, Luciano. Take the deal and you'll have my lands without any problem." Luciano uncrossed his legs and leaned closer to Charles. "My answer is still no, Mr. Charles. You can ask for additional money, but you can't take my guard as compensation." A small smile appeared on my lips. As much as I wanted to help the Romano clan with this negotiation, I honestly don't think that I'll be able to do it. So, I'm quite thankful for Luciano for not giving me away to
Thalia I followed Luciano out of the room and into his office. He heavily sat down on his chair and let out a tired sigh. His eyes and stance show how the conversation affected his mentality. For a second, I felt quite bad for him, and I also feel like the reason why the negotiation fell through is because of me. "Are you alright?" I warily asked, sitting in front of him. He opened his eyes and nodded his head. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be alright?" I pursed my lips together and didn't say anything anymore. Even if he says he's alright, I could tell that he wasn't. I let out a deep breath and came up with a bizarre idea. "Umm," I cleared my throat. "Maybe we should just listen to your father's suggestion." He was tapping his pen against the table, and he instantly stopped when he heard my suggestion. "Huh?" he asked, his face scrunched up in a frown. I sighed and leaned back on my seat. "Maybe we should just listen to Don Emiliano," I repeated. "We could go back to Sir Cha
Thalia I moaned into his mouth as our tongues touched each other. Our kiss escalated quickly as he pushed my back onto the wall. "Jump," he said. I quickly followed his instructions. I jumped into his arms and he carried me to his table, placing me down as we continued kissing. I honestly don't know how we even got here. I only planned on hugging him out of joy, but then we suddenly started kissing. How did we even get here anyway? Let’s rewind back a couple of minutes. I hugged him out of gratefulness. I thought I was going to sacrifice myself and go to Sir Charles' territory to resolve this situation, but Luciano stayed with me throughout the week, untiringly looking for evidence to bring him down. "We did it," I said. He was surprised for a second, but he eventually returned the hug. I felt so warm in his arms, so I snuggled deeper into his chest, breathing in his scent. He let out a chuckle. "Did you just sniff me?" I glared at him and playfully pinched his bicep. "Shut

We're going on a mission together," Daisy giddily said as she sat next to me in the car. "Why are you so excited for this? We're visiting the enemies territory to free the underage sex workers that they've been exploiting for years," I deadpanned. "Well, when you put it like that—it sounds quite depressing, but still! At least we're doing it together," she said. "You better be thanking me," Renee butted in, going inside the car too. I smiled at her as she entered. "Hey, what's up?" I greeted. She smiled back and nodded her head. "Doing pretty good. I'm quite excited for this mission actually." Daisy crossed her arms beside me and looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "So, you've found a new best friend, huh?" I chuckled and shook my head. "Oh, shut up. We're not in 6th grade anymore. All of us are good friends here." "You're right," Dai
Thalia Red. Everything turned red.One minute, I was running out of the house, trying to escape; and the next minute the sound of the gun resounded, followed by spillage of blood.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath as I looked at the scene in front of me. “Renee!” Luciano screamed out before taking out his gun, pointing it towards the person who had shot Renee and killing him instantly. Daisy and I ran to where Renee was. Her blood had pooled down on the ground, so I covered the wound with my hand. “Give me a cloth or binder of some type,” I told Daisy.However, Renee shook her head, making me look at her with frantic eyes. “Let’s get out of here first,” she said in a weak voice. “We don’t want any other tragedies happening tonight. It’s best if we seek safety for now.” Luciano cursed under his breath and carried Renee in his arms. "Let's leave," he said in such a cold voice that it sent shivers down my spine. I also stood up from the ground, still shaken up from the situatio
