MATTIAMabel greeted me, and she opened the door for me as usual. I've been waiting for more than a week. Harper should be back here. I didn't think about treating her the same as before, so I'm considering giving her punishment now.Harper probably thinks I will treat her like the woman I choose. From the start, we didn't have anything in common in some ways. Harper and I feel at different poles, which makes us always fight."Where's Harper?" I askedMabel was holding my briefcase; she was about to put it back in its place. "She's in the kitchen, doing her job as usual.""Have the others met her?""It's a complicated thing.""Why? Is Harper causing trouble with them?" I made sure.Mabel just smiled faintly, and I already understood the meaning of that smile. She walked away. I removed my tie and rolled up my shirt sleeves to my elbows. It gives a firm sensation to my biceps.Staring at the waves that I now feel, it becomes interesting. My feet stepped towards the kitchen; I wanted to
HARPERI heard they would have a dance party with a masked theme. It makes my desires as a woman blush from within. Even so, I only talked a little and didn't talk about the party. More precisely, I no longer want to stand out in front of them.After I finished working in the kitchen, I returned to my room. I relieved my fatigue by soaking in warm water and drinking rose water.I lay down, hugging my bolster pillow while scrolling through my cell phone screen. "Ah, today I feel tired," I grumbled. Even so, my eyes are still not sleepy. I'll enjoy my time for a moment.It didn't last long when I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. A scent that I knew, and of course, the door to my room was opened without my permission."Mattia!" I mumbled his name.I changed my sitting position, and my eyes followed Mattia's steps, which stopped near the window. I have a habit of opening the window every time I fall asleep. The moonlight is much more beautiful when it passes through my window, ma
MATTIA"Actually, she doesn't have to come, she'll just make things difficult for me!" I said. I remembered the last time I hunted with My brothers. Harper was causing trouble, and it was irritating me."It would be fun if we brought a woman, she would scream at the sound of gunfire, wouldn't it?" Nicolas scoffed"She won't!" I answered that's because I know Harper."Why? Is she not the spoiled type? I mean, from how she dresses, she's a bit different from Lucia; I heard she grew up on an estate, right? "It seems she doesn't understand how city people have fun," repeated Nicolas."Come on, after all she is your wife now," said Giorgio.We had all touched our horses, getting ready for today's hunt. I was planning to shoot birds and have fun, but my friends wanted to look for deer.Only a short time after, Harper came. She was wearing her romper outfit, and what made me stop thinking was her confident face. "Where is my horse?" she asked me."There!" said Nicolas. "Let me help you", he
HARPERI cried all the way home. The forest wolf was a juvenile. It had been separated from its mother, and his herd was not far from that place. He just couldn't howl to call for help.My wolf spoke to him before it breathed its last breath. At that moment, I couldn't control my tears. Even until his last breath, the wolf only called his mother.Meanwhile, Mattia and his friends felt satisfied. They were so arrogant just because they managed to kill a wolf that was weaker than them."What's with your words? Is this still related to that forest wolf?" said Mattia as soon as I teased him with my sentence.I focused again on pouring my milk. "The wolf is still a juvenile," I said."Oh my God, Harper! I'm not an animal expert; how do I know whether the wolf is still a juvenile or not? After all, it was his fate to die like that."I felt that Mattia was very selfish in his words. How could he say something like that? He just doesn't know how tight I am or the sadness I have endured for al
MATTIA"I tried to make an offer to her, but she didn't give me any explanation, as if she likes the kitchen in the manor now. She's just some kind of flirtatious girl," I complained.Rocco stood before me, just listening as I told him many things about Harper. Like today, because Mabel was on leave from work. She acted like the kitchen was a palace that she couldn't leave.She didn't have breakfast with me, she didn't look at me, she was busy with her apron and spatula. Isn't my job offer tempting?"Are you planning to bring her to work in this office?" Rocco asked me. He started to keep up with our conversation."You know that lately there have been a lot of threats coming out for me. So I plan to work from home more, it would be great if Harper could position herself as my right hand, I mean my personal secretary? Or my assistant maybe?"This was all I could think about for a while. Carol had also sent me my blood test results two days ago, which were all normal. That meant there s
HARPERSaturday night, I knew many luxury cars would dominate the streets. The atmosphere at night is like this: the city is constantly lit up. I got an idea sometime after scrolling through my phone screen. It was about a club that was currently crowded. Burn Magic, that's what they called it.So, I decided to visit the club. Being in this manner was just making me depressed; let's just say I needed to have some fun out there."Where are you going?" Mattia asked. He was downstairs while I was still climbing the five steps. I kept walking while glancing at his eyes. "Go out for a minute", I replied."Where exactly?" he pressed me with his questions. I could feel the interrogation in his voice.Once I got downstairs and made eye contact with him, I said, "You had fun with your friends hunting, right? Then I have my way of having fun."My words like that were not without reason. I felt that the way Mattia looked at me was no longer the same. I mean, just for tonight, I wanted to run awa
MATTIA“Holly Shit, why should I come with you?” Nicolas protested, but he still enjoyed his drink to the music in the club.Since Harper said she wanted to go to the Club. I didn't feel like bothering with it. I mean, whatever the little bitch wanted to have fun with. However, once Harper actually got out of my Mannor.My feelings actually contradicted myself. It was like, why did I let the bird in my cage fly out? Even though I knew she would return to her golden cage, I felt like I had no self-respect by letting her contradict my words.“I wanted to enjoy sleeping on my soft bed, and now I’m here accompanying you to spy on your wife,” Nicolas said again.We were both watching Harper since earlier, when she was talking to a guy. I was holding back my emotions since earlier, like what's with this? Harper has a guy friend? Or she was just planning to tease the guy here.“You said you don’t love Harper, right? You said Lucia was the only woman in your life. Then why are we here?” Nicol
HARPERI cried almost all night. No matter how many things I threw in this room, my emotions still felt unstable. So the only thing I could do was cry on my bed.“Shit, how can a man as cruel as Mattia be my mate,” I grumbled. My wolf couldn’t believe what he saw, but he didn’t completely blame Mattia. According to him, Mattia was just jealous.But, Mattia has already thrown me away. He himself initiated physical contact. Having beautiful sex, and throwing me away like trash. Is that still not enough, to say he is just a player man who makes me one of his playthings.I don't know how the night passed, until morning came. I woke up with my head feeling heavy. I heard a noise, like someone was lifting things. Opening my eyes slowly, as if forced to stay awake.I found Mabel and the other tidying up the things that were scattered on my floor. They were taking out the window curtains, the lounge chairs. They had also just taken out a vase of flowers by my nightstand.“Mabel? When are you
