2021-07-05 10:10:00I am listening to his continued nagging. I rolled my eyes and lean on the sofa.
"How will I explain to Livv that you almost got killed!" Henry, my cousin said as he strokes his hair pacing back and forth. I chuckled at his hysteric nagging and looked at my bruises which I got from disobeying his command.
"It's a clear order, Roanna I just said don't leave my sight and behave but what did you do? You got distracted by just seeing a stray cat!" He added, probably not amaze on what's the reason why I nearly got killed by those men who chased me after they've seen my face.
"Hey! The cat is out of here! She's adorable and I want to adopt her." I dearly said as I stared at the cat who is now sleeping on the bed. He palmed his face after hearing me saying my ridiculous excuse.
"You better get ready, Livv is coming home any minute now you'd better explain yourself to him. God! My neck hurts." He said as he looked at his phone reading the message that Livv sent him after the incident that happened earlier.
"Don't worry, he'll understand," I said with much confidence as I grinned at him, he only looked at me with his annoyed face and left the room.
I smiled as I looked at the cat who is now sleeping in my bed. I gently laid down and stroke the cat's fur. A few minutes passed I heard the door swung open I slowly crawled into the side of the bed and sat there as I wait for him to come near me.
"You disobeyed my order." He said as he slowly walked near the bed opening the buttons of his suit, one by one. I can't help but admire his looks. I almost choked just by looking at his annoyed face I can't help but stare at those perfectly carved brows, that deep blue-colored eyes, and his perfect nose that fits his thinned slightly red lips and, my eyes slowly wander through his well-toned body muscles at the perfect places I gulped as I stared at his tattoo showing in his hands up to his neck, suddenly I felt something inside me telling me it was all familiar.
"Eyes up here, Lady." I can sense his playful tone, I look at him, and there's that playful grin plastered on his lips saying that I shouldn't play or else I'll be punished. "I heard from Henry that you nearly endangered yourself just because of a cat." He added. I slowly nodded as he slowly parted my legs and he stands between them.
"Well, I got hurt a little bit saving the cat's life is worth it," I answered. He slowly nodded and cupped my chin using his two fingers and slowly he leaned to catch my gaze.
He stared at me as he grinned and slowly tap my forehead. "You never listen to me, Roana what will I do to make you listen and behave as I said so you nearly got killed and half of my men are injured just to secure your safety as I told them to. Please, baby, be careful next time." He said to me, I just slowly nod my head and hug him.
"I'm sorry, it will never happen again." I sincerely apologize to him.
"Apology accepted," He answered and he kissed the top of my head.
Livv and I met months before he rescued me from his rival who smuggled women and sell them to Elite Businessman Circle that bids at higher prices for women and other vices. I am thankful that he did save me, my father sold me like one of his assets, and he never cared who will I be sold to after he gets the money. Henry, my cousin, later on, found me I discovered that he is working for Livv he is also his best friend, I already told him what happened and he disgusts my father he said that he will tell Livv but I just said that it's better not to.
"You sure you're fine, love?" He asked me after he kissed the top of my head, he cups my face and made me look at him, he scanned my body to make sure that I am fine, I find his gestures cute and sweet and I can't help but admire him more.
"Yes, love I am fine. I had a few bruises and cuts but I am fine." I assured him. He sighed, his eyes then darted behind me and he chuckled shaking his head when he saw the cat lying at our bed, sleeping peacefully.
"God, you're killing me, love." He murmured as he leaned to my neck and bit my skin slowly, I gasped as I cling my hand to his nape and crooked my neck to the side giving him more access. I closed my eyes as letting him kiss me more wanting for more, moans and groans filled the room as I shrugged off the thought of familiar sensations I feel, the way his hands roamed my body touching me in my sensitive parts, I close my eyes.
Damn, this must be heaven.

One looks bigger and the other is a box that as size as a shoebox."Senorito said that you will wear this tonight at dinner," she said, I then nodded and she gently places the box on the bed and bowed her head after."Thank you," I said and slowly walks to where the box was placed. I then play my lips with my fingers as staring at it. I gently open the first box my mouth parted as I look at the heels. It was a simple, pointed sandal, and its color was a faded color of peach.

What happened yesterday night never leave my mind, I can't forget how his kisses ignited the desires of my soul. I shake my head as I feel my cheeks heated just by thinking of what happened. I sighed and look at the book I am reading."I'll never let you complete me, you may be a part of me but you can't be the answer to the missing piece of me," I read the sentence out loud, I played with the pen I am holding as I grin at the thought of what is written in the book. I thought of something that has been missing inside of me, of myself but never in my mind thinks of someone who might fill in the pieces of me that have been missing for such a long time, not money nor power, love and desire could and should not be the answer, but what is exactly is been missing?"Lady, Roana, are you okay?"

I raise my thumb, closing my one eyes as I aim it at the moon I smiled as I can see that they're right, everywhere you go the moon will never be bigger than your thumb.

"Leave us alone," I ordered my men, I then removed the gloves on my hand as I stare at him-- helplessly lying on the ground, unable to move. I croaked my neck to the side as I scan his body his shirt was full of bloodstains from his wounds. I crinkled my nose as I can smell the dried blood and fresh blood from him."Livv Timothy Markovs," Saying his name out loud, I then reach for the dagger place on the suitcase above the table, playing it with my finger. "You had no idea, do you?" I asked, mocking and laugh a little as I look at the dagger in my hand."You have to be careful who to trust," I said, the side of his lips tugs upward as he laughs mocking my question, I look at him as he cough in blood, raise his gaze to me and look me directly in the eyes."Funny to say that you did trust me too- once, Mina," he said, coughing between every word. I raise my brow as I saw him struggling with his every word but m

"Hold him," I can hear the voices around me, I close my eyes as the blindfold was lifted off my face, trying to get used to the light I blink my eyes a few times and slowly opened it after. I saw the man who drags me far from Mina last week. I clearly remember how it happened, how she smiled at me when she stabs me, on how she furiously screamed in anger holding a gun-- she was gone, the Mina I once love-- I don't clearly remember how or what happened but all I know is I killed her child and lied to her and as Henry secretly protected all of them it was their plan--- I clenched my fist, as I tried to escape off this chain in my wrists. The man turned my chair to face the monitor I look around and see nothing but white walls and heavily tinted glass, and I was just there watching what was happening. "What's happening?" I asked, more li

I groaned annoyingly as I look at my reflection in the mirror, I heard my sister chuckled, I saw her reflection on the mirror looking lovely on her silk knee-length slit red gown. She shakes her head as she walks near me still smiling. "What?" I ask her, she smiled and brings both of her hands to my cheeks, caressing them while looking intently into my eyes. "I do adore you, Mina, and thank you for fighting for us," She sincerely said, I smiled and bring my hands to her shoulders stroking them gently and pat her back. "Of course, I would do that without blinking an eye I promise to keep you both safe," I whispered and hug her. I close my eyes as I remember everything, how I sacrificed things, made bad choices, and selfish decisions just to keep them safe. I sigh to avoid tearing up and ruin my makeup. I push her a little and smiled. "Now, we

I opened the door and saw him sitting there, his hands and feet are tied down in a built-in chair. I took the gun out of my holster and pulled the barrel of the gun before walking near him, He raises his head, he's guardless and defenseless with his eyes blindfolded.I walk near him and stop in front of him, I then removed the blindfold he blinks his eyes multiple times as he opened his mouth. "Where am I?" He asks me."Somewhere," I answered him. I then look at him intently croaking my neck to the side as I was staring at him. I just stood there not saying anything, a gun in my hand and him sitting in front of me not saying anything."You know, Livv," I trailed off, I then raise the gun looking at it while I ran my finger in its body I then look at him.

I opened my eyes and saw her-- The woman who once was Corro's wife, a bitter pang of emotion ripped into me as I look at her, we had the same face, from eyes to lips. I shrug the thought off and smiled a little at her. She slowly walks near us with tears in her eyes. I let go of our Mother as I waited for her to come near us."Mina," She whispered, a bitterness was gone off my thought once her gentle hand caress mine, I close my eyes and look at her, she then caress my cheeks with her either hand biting her lips trying to suppress a sob.

I close my eyes as I saw the report. I knew this would happen, how Mina? I swallowed hard as I open my eyes again staring at the piece of paper I was holding, I had a hint but didn't confront her for it. "Master," I heard my butler called me, I turn my head to him and look at him. I tried to calm myself down and sigh. "What?" I answered, he opens his palm and handed me the phone. "We already removed the tracker," He said, I look at his face seriously. He carefully places the phone on the table. "You can go now," I said, I stare at the phone and slouched on the sofa. I reach for the phone on the table and leaned back on the sofa. Papa was right, she will be the lead to my downfall, I expected it but damn this hurt and I can't seem to do something to her, not even an inch. Why Mina? why do you hate me that much? what makes you hate me that much? I sigh and leaned on the sofa, thinking wh

I wrap my hand around the mug as I feel the warmth of the cup, the soothing type of warmth. I inhaled the aroma of the coffee, taking a small sip of the coffee from the cup."How was it?" I ask Henry, he taps his fingers on the table and glances at me. "He's gone, I can't find him," He said, I hummed and look at the monitor, the signal of his tracker just got lost from our vision, I carefully place the mug at the table and looks at the monitor Henry was looking.Something's not right.I thought, I then look again at the monitor there's a red dot blinking again, my brows furrowed as I look at the monitor. "What's that? why is it blinking again, something is not right Henry," I said and pointed to the red dot that has been blinking for a few seconds now."I'll try to zoom in the location," Henry said, tapping on his keyboar
