We arrive at the Ildefonso's Residence just on time. I presume that Sain is still not around because if he does, then it is not Nicolai who pick me to the Castania's mansion. Although it is difficult to read what's on his mind, somehow in some situation I already know what he is planning to do. Sain is difficult to predict but when the situation always happen and he knows that he has the upper hand, he will surely use the same method. He knows very well that he has the upper hand in our relationship. He is the husband that I need to follow because I agree to be the wife who will comply with everything that pleased him. The contract is deceitful and despite knowing that everything in favors to him, I just let it slide because killing him will only happen if I become his wife. My father was right ever since at the beginning even up until now that I messed up everything. If I just listen to him and didn't let those unnecessary emotion bother me then maybe I am not in this kind of situ
The forbidden west wing is no longer forbidden because I already take charge to the security system of the place. In every step that I take, I could feel the fast palpitation of my heart together with the smile of victory plastered on my lips. I am not nervous, the increase rate of my heart was because of the excitement I am feeling right now. The thrill of getting caught and finding something against my enemy. They are like two opposite pools that made me feel alive. "Walk fast Hera, someone take the stair" Pollux announce. I didn't look back and just walk faster making sure that I didn't make any sound. I am controlling the noise of my footsteps because I am wearing a freaking white heels. "What the hell are you wearing?" He suddenly blurt out that made me frown and my eyes sharpen. "It's a dress, what do you think it could be?" I sarcastically remark because of annoyance. Why is he suddenly asking that? Isn't it obvious what I am wearing right now? And for Pete's sake, I am r
"Mia Signora!" I stop walking when I heard Eredia calling me from behind. I mentally sigh controlling the annoyance because of her sudden interruption with my attempt to go upstair and rest my aching back on my room. I took a deep breath and turn around flashing my innocent smile to the innocent young lady in front of me. It's been a week since the last time I saw her. Well, nothing actually change. I just realize that she is still too young to die. I mean, I am now planning my betrayal to Sain Czar Ildefonso, my so called husband. Eredia could die if she keeps on following me around or once she finds out something about me. I cannot choose her life over the plan I have been waiting for fifteen years. I hope she keeps her distance to me just like the first time I came here. If she become more comfortable, there is a tendency that she will ends up discovering my secret. "Nice seeing you again Erie" I greeted her softly with a sweet smile. "What do you want by the way?" I query. I
"Go home safe, Herravie..." The last thing my father remind me before the call end. I tighten my grip on the phone as I slowly put it down while staring the clear night sky. I wanted to go home safe as well. It's been more than three months now and I honestly forgot how does it feels to sleep inside my room in the Costello's mansion. This is the longest mission that I had experience and I must say that it is the most difficult. It is difficult because I experience hesitation. I failed to trust my father's word when in fact I should have hold into it because that is what I need. He know things better than me and I should have listen. Defying him was the biggest mistake I ever did as his daughter. I just hope I please him once again once I finish this mission successfully. The cold night breeze blows and I hug myself because of that. Sain Czar is still not around, I haven't seen him for a week and for some reason I do not want to sleep without knowing that he already arrive. I gaze
I gasp when he suddenly yanks me against him before bending his head to kiss me. I moan with the feeling of satisfaction when our lips meet each other as if I have been waiting for it for so long. There is so much things I need to think about but ironically all I could think of right now is the pleasure between us. I don't know much about human intimacy, I have been saying it before for how many times. But I can understand it now. The sweetness of it, the heat as if my body wanted to convulse, it is driving me crazy and I couldn't get enough of it. The fast palpitation of my heart doesn't scream with nervousness but excitement. I am shivering with so much anticipation because I am now drown in a kind of pleasure that makes it hard to collect myself. I melt into him even more as his fingers tangle in my hair down to my nape. My mouth parted and our tongue collided in an instance. I feel Sain move towards the bed and held my waist tightly pulling me into a deeper and harder kiss whi
"I know my responsibility Apollo" I pause and took a deep breath. "I have been living with that responsibility for fifteen years. That is not something I will forget"I added. I know my responsibility very well. Does he have to remind me about it? I never failed to say that my existence means vengeance. My life as a Costello means I need to kill. My hands are not clean since I become a Costello. My hands are stain with blood that I could no longer erase. "You know that I didn't mean anything with that" he calmly utter. "I am just trying to prevent things that will ruined your mission, Hera" I bit my lower lip. Apollo is doubting me just like how I doubt myself right now. No matter how he make his words less offensive and accusing still I know what behind those lines. I also know where did it started. Since I already disobey our father once, of course for them it is easy for me to disobey our father once again. I cannot blame him. I blame myself in fact and I guess I will be in a
I was Celeste Astraea Cortezi before Luscio Costello rescue me from Cesar Ildefonso. I am the woman they have been finding for fifteen years. Luscio Costello protected me, he change my name and adopt me that is why Ilde Famiglia cannot find me. I know it was my father command to keep the details about my past that is why I didn't question him when I heard from Zacharias that someone from Sintti came to him and get the result of the investigation. That is his way to protect me from Ildefonso. I couldn't understand why Cesar Ildefonso is eager to find me. I can't understand especially when it feels as if they had a good intentions that is why they are searching for me. He killed my parents, he killed Cladia in front of me. He tried to kill me as well so why would he find me? The only reason I can think of is because he wanted to kill me too just like what Dad said. After what he did to my family, after he ruined my family. I don't think that I can trust that so called intention that
"I don't want to keep secrets to my wife" My eyes glisten with tears. We are now inside the private room and I guess the woman who was assigned to assist ask is already wondering what is happening to me and Sain. We are just talking and not making order. But what should I do? My heart is aching for him, my husband who will die on my hands tonight. I have so many secrets, dark secret that once he finds out he will kill me in an instant. I shook my head and my eyes landed on the ring I am wearing. I should stop this. I cannot continue this mission while having this kind of feeling, I do not want to regret in the end. "Sain, listen" I held his hand. "We should go-" I was stop when his phone suddenly rang inside the room. Sain look at me a bit apologetic, I am hopeful that he will end the call but he didn't."I will just answer this" he utter. I slowly let go of his hand and he turn around before answering his phone. I lick my lower lip and run my fingers through my hair. I suddenl
