I force myself a smile because I don't know what to say. I let him eat the cupcakes while I am sitting on the single sofa inside his office. He seems enjoying which is opposite to what I predicted. I am bit worried with the thought that maybe he is just forcing himself but then, I don't think he is. There is a hint of satisfaction and joy in his deep dark soulful eyes that always drowning me.Honestly, he looks like a kid right now. I find him adorable which I didn't know would possible for someone who was so tall and has a firm body with a face that screams with manliness. I find him cute while enjoying himself with the cupcakes I made for him."Does it taste good?" I can't help to ask. I don't want him to force himself with something that he doesn't like. And I think he's been eating a lot, I don't want him to have a bad stomach especially now that we are in his office and not at him. "It taste delicious" he flash a smile that made me bit the inside of my mouth. "You should visit
My gaze stay on the close door thinking how long Sain will stay outside. After a moment of silence I start to take a step and roam around Sain Czar's office. I check every corner to make sure that there is no camera inside or maybe a wire tapping devices. After I finish doing it and confirm that I have nothing to worry, I walk towards the glass wall that made me saw the entire city. I stare outside for a short moment before I dial Enzo's digit.I didn't wait for a long second because after one ring, Enzo answer the call and spoke my name."Herravie," there is a hint of uncertainty in his tone that instantly put creased on my forehead.He doesn't sound calm, I think something happen. I didn't call fo quite sometime. After what happen to Laurent's burial, I was not able to reach them because I was stuck inside the Ildefonso's Residence. Also I become irresponsible. Yeah, I refuse to call them and focus on the idea of how I will fit as Sain Czar's wife."Did something happen?" I query in
"Phoebus Romani?" He pause as if he's trying to remember something. "Is he the son of Teofilo Romani?"I shut my eyes close and puff out a breath."Yes, the next crime boss of Mafia Romano" I replied in a flat tone.That man is giving me headache. I don't know what is he doing with his life right now. I don't know what got into his head to get close with Sain Czar Ildefonso, for sure he is aware that Sain is the next crime boss of Ilde Famiglia, the rival of Mafia Romano. He should stay out of their radar. He almost got killed if I was not order to assassinate Elliot first."What happen?" He curiously ask, perhaps he's wondering why I'm sticking my nose to that man when in fact he is not part of mission.Well, I am taking precaution. He is on the bad side of Sain Czar. It can't continue that way especially that they seems acquainted because they both on the same field of business. Once something happen to him, Mafia Romano will at stake, if that happen Sintti Crime Organization will l
"You had a power over him, always remember that."I had a power over him? If that is true then I could consider it as an advantage to my mission. But then that would be impossible, I mean why would he let someone like me to have a power over him? That doesn't make sense."Signora doesn't believe you," Pierro laugh mockingly.He is almost laying on the bed with his position. He looks comfortable though which I guess he used to come here that's why he is acting like that. Vincer laugh with him that made Nicolai scratch the back of his head."I am telling the truth" he insist, frowning a bit.I smile at him and smoothen my hair with my palm. It becomes my habit since I start pretending as Selena Castania. I think it was because I was always reminded with Mrs. Castania to look nice and presentable all the time. Most importantly I should be mindful with my hair.I am not that kind of woman, honestly I don't really care what will people say about me or about my looks. My life doesn't revolv
"Selena!" I heard Sain called me when I open the door and left his office.I didn't listen and continue walking. Good thing I saw his secretary getting in the elevator so I immediately march fast to catch up to him. He was startled when I suddenly enter but I just smile and press the close button before Sain could follow me. I stand in the corner and slightly fix my hair when I saw my reflection in the mirror. While Sain secretary which he called Peter is silent standing, not moving in his spot. I breath out because I was able to escape Sain. That man is really annoying sometimes. How could he shut me up rudely in front of Nicolai, Pierro, and Vincer?I mentally shake my head and look at Sain's secretary."Excuse me," I poke his shoulder that made him look at me. I smile politely, doesn't want to intimidate him. "You're Peter, right?" He immediately nod and hug the documents he's holding. "Yes Ma'am. I'm Peter Wills, Mr Ildefonso's secretary"He sound nervous. The tone of his voice
"Finish your food, we will go home after," he calmly told me opposite to what I expected.Is he not mad?I blink at him while slowly chewing the slice of cutlet inside my mouth. I couldn't help to feel suspicious because he is unbelievably calm. I'm expecting him mad at me because of what I did but look at him now? He is sitting comfortably on the chair across to me with his arms cross over his chest looking like a tyrant king with the strong intimidating aura he possess.I could feel those glances on our table which directly for Sain. He's indeed a head turner because aside from the fact that he owns this building, he is also lavishly handsome as usual. A walking temptation, a sin that I shouldn't commit that I am tempted to experience. I may sound exaggerating but my husband looks is really incomparable. He has the face that you will never easily forget. A handsome face that will give you goosebumps and fluttering feeling. Except his attitude, because that's a big turn off."Focus o
I didn't look away. I meet Apollo's strange stare trying to adapt the seriousness on his face. The way he looks at me seems like I did something terrible. I feel like I'm betraying him and our family. Those accusing stare is making my heart beat faster than its normal rate and colden my palms as well. I keep my void face despite the unknown fear inside. I am not backing down even if he is trying to intimidate me. I don't know what is he doing, as far as I know he supposed to be on the business trip right now. I clearly heard and remember what Enzo told me when I called him a while ago. But why is he here? Is he stalking me? I unconsciously grip the fabric of Sain's clothes as if it could keep my poker face to hide the nervousness I'm feeling right now towards Apollo. I frown a little but I flinch in surprise when I felt Sain's soft lips press on mine as if that's his way to get my attention. I lifted my gaze to look at him and I was greeted with his deep dark soulful grey eyes."Wha
Standing in the balcony while staring the wide greenfield inside the Ildefonso's Residence, my thoughts are filled with questions. I am holding the stand rail tightly, wearing my night clothes. The sky is covered with darkness for about four hours from now after a long day enjoying the sun ray. My other hand is holding my phone contemplating if I should phone Apollo or wait until tomorrow. I don't know what will he say to me after what I did but I don't know either what will I say to him because of what he did. He freak me out which he never dare to made me experience before.He's the most gentle and caring brother that I had. He always prioritize my safety above anyone else and I didn't know he is capable of scaring me. I don't know why he is lingering around acting strange all of a sudden. I thought he already give me enough time to finish this mission but I guess, I was wrong. I gaze down on my hand. I remember the disappointment on his eyes when he saw my ring, together with th
