Wearing a blue ball gown I stare myself in the length size mirror. The shade of my hazel eyes glows against the glittering I shadow that the make up artist put on me. My hair was fixed into a messy bond and the gleaming crystal hair pin given by my father complement my overall look. I must admit that I look like a princess in this huge mansion that feels like my own castle. Those tall walls surround this place was my protection from the cruel reality of this world. It was my protection from my cruel past that I couldn't let go. I gasp for air when the door of my room open revealing Luscio Costello, my father. There is a proud smile plastered on his face that resembles Ajaxer so much. I turn around and smile at him. "Dad..." I whisper. "My sweet little girl, look at you" he hold my both arms and let out a baritone laugh. "You look so beautiful mi hija" he complimented. The smile on my lips stretches, pleased with his praise that I secretly wanted ever since he claim me as his dau
"Don't you think you're being rude to Cassinno?" I ask Sain while he is brushing my hair. I already change my clothes, I just wear a simple string tie dress because I am having a hard time moving my arms and legs. Wearing a dress is the most convenient way for me because of my situation right now. "What do you mean?" I purse my lips hearing his low baritone voice. He's behind me serious with what he's doing. I didn't ask him to do it but he insist that's why I let him. This is not the first time he did this for me. I still can remember that he dry my hair and he was really good at it. Well, he was also good in brushing my hair. His movement is gentle as if making sure that he will not hurt me. "You talk to him rudely a while ago. He's still older than you, Sain" I whisper, reminding the fact of their age gap.I'm a bit hesitant to bring it up because as much as possible I don't want him to misinterpret me. I don't want him to think that I am trying to overrule him or meddling with
The wind blows my hair while looking outside the open window. I am sitting on my wheelchair because Sain believes that I couldn't walk on my own when in fact I already can. I just didn't let him know about it to avoid suspicion. I need to be careful starting today especially now that Cassinno is giving me a strange feeling. It was my intention to act weak in front of them because they might find it odd that the two bagman that was sent by Accardo Triad didn't even hurt me enough. That would be ridiculous knowing that the goal of the other organizations is to kill Sain Czar's wife since I am the only Ildefonso's woman as of now. Cassinno is not in a relationship, I doubt he wil because of his attitude. He is aloof and I think he is difficult to pleased and impress. He is not a boyfriend material, I must say. But when we talk about his looks? Well, he got so much point on that but the behavior? That's a biggest no. Sixto is like him as well, he doesn't have anyone link to him. He is v
"Sain is firm with his decision besides Sixto is backing him up. The support we needed doesn't have to come from Ilde Famiglia, Averrius will protect our Signora" Nicolai said in a matter-of-fact tone as if that is something that they cannot change.Averrius and Sain's men are the one protecting me? Is that the reason why Zacharias suddenly appear? I mean, I figure out that he is part of the Averrius clan. Now I understand why Sain brought me to Sixto first instead of introducing me to Ilde Famiglia's council. He is asking help to Sixto because he knew that his men is not enough to keep me safe. That time, when the first ambushed was happen I think the enemy is aware with Sain's plan. Perhaps, my father is aware with it as well. I don't know, I am not really sure but that is possible. In the world that we are living there are things that cannot keep as a secret that's why there is this word called betrayal. When life gets tough that's the time temptation test the loyalty they pledge
Looking at the green wide field inside the Ildefonso's Residence. This is my favorite spot that's why I love this room. The wind blows and I shiver a bit because I am not wearing a jacket. I took a deep breath, I don't know where is Sain right now. It's been almost haft an hour since I saw him walk away, I thought he will head straight to our room so I went back here fast but then even until now, he is still not here. I close my eyes recalling the pain that lace in his voice. I think even people like Sain Czar could still feel pain. Perhaps it was indeed true that people is a collection of broken glasses. None of us are truly whole even if you are good or evil. Even if it feels as if you own everything and you are in control of everything. Despite the power, wealth, and authority. When we were young, we are free from all those pains. We are free from suffering. We are oblivious about the cruelty of life but as we grow older that's the time fear starts to get clear in our eyes. That'
I fisted my hand. Pierro was wrong because I don't only have a strong mind, I am also strong physically. I can fight like a man. I maybe small for them but I know how to protect myself. I am the Hera of Sintti Crime Organization, someone like Toshiro can't put me down. If he was not Kimura, I don't think he is still breathing today because I will really kill all of them. I hope he learn his lesson. I hope he will not try to challenge me again. He can't win against me. "I didn't know you killed someone from Accardo Triad..." Apollo whisper still couldn't believe what I did.Is that surprising? Why? Is he expecting me to be kind with someone who points a gun on my head? He knows me very well. I am not considerate. I don't spare anyone especially those who provoke me. He should know because it was our father who taught me not to be merciless. I was never been since I become Herravie Costello. I just mirror them, its shouldn't be surprising anymore."The council didn't say anything abo
"What are you doing here?" The familiar voice of Zacharias ask from behind. He doesn't sound friendly at all which made me grip the armrest of the wheelchair. I look at the direction that Eredia take and I couldn't help to frown. The last thing I wanted to happen right now is meeting Zacharias Eron. First of all, I don't want him to ask me again regarding Celeste Cortezi as if he knew that I have something to do with her. Secondly, I don't like how I feel towards this guy. Although I know his dangerous because of his desperation to find Celeste, I couldn't get mad at him. There is something in him that feels familiar but at the same time strange and I don't have time for it, obviously. And lastly, he is the one who assigned to investigate the Castania's mansion together with Vincer. For sure, it was him who found the gun. I'm worried that he might find something in my room that will lead to suspicion. "I came here to relax," I replied not looking at him. I heard him sigh and my
My past will never stop haunting me. The nights when I don't see that dream is such a big blessing for me. It's like a deep sigh of relief, a feeling of desperation and victory that I was able to survive that night not recalling about that tragic death. But then, since I marry Sain Czar my past is not only present at night. It's clear in the daylight and it's getting clearer even more at midnight. Just like now... I mask the confusion in my eyes with the look of disbelief. Even I am taken aback with this redundant question, I must get a hold of myself and control my emotion instead of letting it control me. I didn't come here to ruined my plan. I will not let him put a hole to my disguise either. "What does it mean?" I pause and tilt my head. "What made you think I know that woman? In what way I am supposed to know her?" I return the question to him. I don't know what made him ask that to me. I also don't know what is his motive. I don't believe the emotion plastered on his eyes r
