Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Melissa's POV
As his brow raised, his mouth airy me to stop whatever utterance coming out of me and a finger pointed to his phone as though to tell me he was on a call.
He plastered the phone firmly to his ear and averted his gaze from me.
I blinked severally. A mind-blowing breeze refilled my lungs and I could finally breathe.
He was whispering into his phone saying a foreign language. My heart was praying so badly that the elevator should open before he end the call.
Why the heck did I say… pardon? What did I expect to say or hear from him? A filthy like him!
My toes were dancing underneath my heels impatiently while I form pretend with an elegant mature face. Fortunately, the elevator opened just as when his arms slumped down from his ear.
I was damn fortunate! I wailed happily as I dash out of the elevator.
"You must be Ms. Davis." at my first step outside, a female kid of about 5 years of age said to me smilingly.
Fortunately for us, I haven't crushed her. My face brightened and I caressed her cheek responsively. "Yes, I'm Ms. Davis, Ms. Beauty," I replied, smiling in response. Her smile was magical that I forgot I just escaped from the spell of a strange man.
"I'm Kiera, the Head of Warden 1 from Saint Angeles Orphanage Home." Smartly, she introduced herself and took my hand with hers, "Follow me, Ms. The meeting has started but we are nothing without you." the smile glowed more.
Wow! So smart of her!
I could not help but smile more as Kiera led me to the venue.
Kids! They were adorable!
I was welcomed by a Sister who took the lead from Kiera, "Welcome, Ms. Davis. I'm happy you made it." She greeted me formally as if she had known me for a long time.
I gestured with a warm smile.
"Sister Jane." She said her name and made a light hug with me before we proceed to the venue.
***All my thought about the annual conference was a program to motivate the kids by showing their various talents and in addition, feast. I thought like that because that was how J.S.O usually conducted their conference.However, I was led to a gathering of mature men.
I swallowed in one gasp as the lady climbed the stage. "I introduce the Top Investor of the Germany Branch, Ms. Melissa Davis." She said with a huge smile. Followed by applause.
"I welcome our guest to S.A.O." she added and clapping sounds uprouse from the audience, it enriched the conference room.
I was surprised as everyone stood to clap for me. Yet, confused.
In the crest of their gestures, the conference door opened. A man in a Priest robe entered, and behind him was another man.
My lips slightly parted. The man was the same as that man from the elevator? The man I had thought I escaped from.
My angelic face dropped and brimmed with embarrassment.
Shortly, sister Jane led me to a seat.
The hall was in silence as The Priest led the man to the opposite seat to mine. Then, he climbed the stage. "This year's Annual Conference is taking a new dimension. And of course, it got spiced up with the presence of a new investor who decided to join our branch henceforth."
"Having another top investor joining us is a blessing to us and the children. Together, we will build a comfortable world for the needings and the less privileged ones." He narrated and rounds of applause escalated again except for that man sitting opposite mine.
He held a dark ferocious aura that was different from the one inside the elevator. My body shivers as my mind recalled that awkward moment.
He was unfazed, unmoved, and unsurprised. Then, he looked narrowly at me. My breath paused.
F*ck!!! Melissa! Why this cringe feeling?
"In addition, I can't help but be grateful to this branch's top investor, Mr. Donald. Today marks a year since he joined our branch. And so far, he has donated the sum of 25 million dollars for the growth of S.A.O. The record we haven't gotten since the foundation of this Orphanage Home." The Priest praised the man who still held that same expression.
That explains why he couldn't clap for me! My donations were filthy beside his!
My butts were glued to the seat while rounds of applause filled the room. He turned a sprightly face to the Priest while I jeered back on my seat.
For him to donate such an amount within a year, he must be a multi-billionaire!
The chuckle he made towards me was animus in nature. I whipped my neck to the side and consoled myself greatly.
You've done well enough, Lissa. You are still a student!
____________Donald's POVEntering the Conference room, I met with the sound of applause from other investors. At first, my sprightliness was top-notch as I thought those applauses were to welcome me but it got swept away when Sister Jane was pointing to… to… that girl.
I followed the lead of Reverend Thompson who seat me directly opposite her. I don't know what has resulted in praises but they all focused on that Lady. As I view the situation, she must be that guest Reverend Thompson briefed me about.
An important guest! I murmured what Reverend Thompson said earlier with disgust.
If only that innocent father knew she was a spy and an assassin.
All through the meeting, I did not concentrate much on what was said but solely on her. I tracked her closely even to the main event. I knew this was where her mission would be carried out. Therefore, I don't let my guard down at all.
Knowing my men had secured the hall, I plugged in my earphone and S2 spoke first.
"Boss, the hall is secured and T is spotted"
"Copy! Wait for my order!" I replied.
The girl was on the stage cheerfully dancing with some set of kids displaying their talents.
If Reverend Thompson had not introduced her as the new guest, I would have mistaken her for the children's guardian and staff in the Orphanage home.
She blended with almost everything. And I'm certain this was her trick to cajole everyone. Well, I almost thrall by that too if not that I've witnessed the other side of her.
Dancing? She danced pretty well! Cheerful? She was an extrovert! Elegance? Smartness? Oh goodness, she thralls everyone completely!
Soon, the display of talent ends. Yet, I saw nothing suspicious about her. In fact, she helped with the sharing of gifts and stayed closely with Sister Jane. Her acts were normal until Reverend Thompson made his last speech and gestured a thankful hand to everyone.
Her conduct changed, completely. Before I register what her act has become, she had been running closely towards Reverend. With full energy and her intent was obvious.
Between that moment, the hall blackout. And the air filled with loud gasps of men and children.
Great! My SWs were now at work...
"Execute!!!" I ordered.

Donald's POVAfter 5 minutes, the hall brightened up. But littered with people running here and there. The uprouse were tried to be controlled by security guards, directing those kids to safety, likewise the adults.On the stage was the Lady laying upon Reverend Thompson. Sister Jane was too shocked to approach them and the other sisters nearby. As I saw that father was lifeless, I sprinted over to him and yanked that disgusting girl away."Father! Father!! Father!!!" Reverend Thompson coughed out on the third call.I sagged to the ground, my heart full of gratitude.As she lay motionless on the ground, Sister Jane hovered on her and kept patting her cheeks repeatedly."Ms. Davis!""Ms. Davis, get up!" She spoke tensely.The Lady was still sessile upon all Sis Jane's attempts, however, Sister Jane suddenly let out a startled gasp as she noticed four syringes affixed to the Lady's neck. As she was pulling it out, she continues to gasp in terror I shoved my phone out. "I'll dial 119 no

Melissa's POVI laughed sheepishly, "After one is dead… nothing more to fear, right uhn?!" Before he knew it, I grabbed one of his legs and strangled it. The pain inflicted, made him collapse to the floor. The sudden way, I attacked him, made him free my hair while falling flatly on his stomach. As I was seated, I trapped both legs together and pinned him down on his spine with one of my legs. With rage, I almost twist his waist to face the back.Strongly twisting him as mighty as my strength could make. He winced in pain and I left him not. I might not have enough of my strengths but I haven't lost my skills, tactics, and even willpower.He banged his hands on the floor as if I was playing a sh*t wrestle game with him. In between the gap of my thigh and armpit were his legs hooked strongly."Rot in hell, you, daughter of a bitch! Lemme off!"I laughed. "Even if I will rot in hell… I will kill you in this afterlife first, so you can go to the next afterlife before I do! B*tch!" My

Melissa's POVMy eyes rolled open. A bit comfortable from the softness I felt underneath where I lay. I rushed to sit upright but almost drooled at the beautiful room I was in this time."My goodness, I'm saved!" I screamed excitedly. However, my mind diverted to how I was saved."Who was that man really?—" A slight cough interrupted me and I whipped my neck to the side astonishingly. Narrowing my eyes, I met with a book-back being held in the space by hands… well, a man was sitting on the couch, closer to me. He relaxed leisurely with a book held in his hands but covered up to his face. I frowned, "Who are you?"He was quiet. Unhurriedly, he started to reveal his face as he pull down the book. Once his face was revealed, he closed the book and threw it on his lap quickly. Meanwhile, my gaze has been following him despicably until it got replaced by shock."Mr. Donald?!" He had an unsurprised mild face on while tapping the book with his fingers like playing piano. I gasped out sti

Donald's POVI narrowed my eyes toward the familiar voice I just heard. I was stunned within as I saw Frisco who stood gallantly by the door and reaffirmed his words fearlessly. "I'm the one who always leaked your information. I'm his Lordship's spy."I almost gasp but held my emotions in and scratched twice my temple as if his affirmation did not shock me. I was but not to the point to make it revealed to anyone. After I gave him two mighty punches yesterday, I was too pissed to have his presence around me. Therefore, I gave him a break to spend his time far away from my vicinity as means to survive my wrath.But…. My Secretary was the mole? 'This is unbelievable and a dead slap on me.'"Then why are you here?" I roared at him frustratedly.He smirked, heinously. "I'm here to tell you who I am really."My brows raised dreadfully. I felt as though to chase Stacy and others away so we both confront each other but I need to be calm. I must calm my freaking temper to make this bitch a

Donald's POV She shook her head and continue, "Since I've spent 3 days here, I want to spend 7 more days." From nowhere, something hilarious hijacked my throat and I boomed out with laughter...very soundly type. It was hard to suppress it. My lips could not clip together at all. I got carried away that I don't know when I sit on the couch. Even after I sat comfortably, I still could not suppress the laugh despite all my attempts. "Ms. Davis!" I called out, still surprised by that. "Was that funny?" She made a cocky voice that halt me instantly. I gulped and looked at her longingly. She glared at me the same...verily with intent. I averted my gaze up, breathed in sharply, and whipped my neck down to her. But this minute, all my laughter had turned sternly. "Yes, of course, that was a very funny quest I have ever heard, Ms. Davis." I intentionally did not look away from her. Her mesmerizing eyes interlocked with mine, so immersed with each other for a long time until she blinke
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 014. Don Meon!
Melissa's POVI powered on my phone. Hoping to have received messages but even after 5 minutes, I was yet to receive any. I felt like I'd been left alone. The fact that Alice and Kelly did not bother about me broke my heart. How could they do this to me just because I couldn't attend a party? I was supposed to join their school two days ago. I told them and they as well gist me about their school but… gosh! At least they should care about my whereabouts since they did not see me. Why were they so heartless?I threw the phone down. Sniffing continuously as it hurt me to the bone but could not cry it out. I kept suppressing it.At this point, I'm not gonna chat with them first! Neither would I care about them as well. "Never!!!""Go to hell… Alice!""Go to hell… Kelly!"I chimed out… I knew Dad wouldn't ask of me but why were my friends doing the same? "Does Don hurt you before he left?" A very tiny female voice interrupted as soon as the door creaked open.I swallowed my voice imme
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 015. His Trial
Donald's POV"Hello! Don Meon!"Rather, I fixated on the floor as Lord Alessandro ardently glared at me. "You killed him?" Lord Alessandro's cocky voice sent a cold shiver down my spine while I conformed stoically.I knew he was referring to Frisco but since he was his spy, I wish to deny that I killed him. Unfortunately, there wouldn't be a perfect reason to deny that. He knew what I was capable of."Yes. He was a mole and a poison to my Wing. I couldn't condone such filthiness around me. I made him meet his death, Sire!" I replied with a murky voice that covered the pain I felt from the betrayal."Good job…Don. A spy becomes useless after being caught. And death should be the reward for such an unwise spy." He expressed. His response surprised me but I refused to let it show on me. Especially as I thought otherwise. "However, for a leader who also acted recklessly, there should be a punishment for such an unwise leader." He buttressed and I felt his voice accomplished with chuckl

Donald's POV "Consider it as a vacation, Don," Ezio whispered. He shoved out a cigarette case from his pocket and hung the cigar in between his index and middle fingers. But before he proceed to light it, he patted my shoulder twice and smiled briefly. He appeared horrific yet seems contented somehow. Having drawn in a lungful of the cigar. His hoarse voice was released with the smoke that engulfed the fresh air. "Father won't go back on his words, you know." I averted an outrageous gaze at him, the same was the tone I reply him with. "It has only been a year! This is your 5th year, Ezio and you will be promoted soon! Besides, just like I, you also have become the Boss of the Russian Wing since your college till you graduated." "Why should I have to wait till I graduate... huh?!" He furrowed his face after tracing the smoke till it fade into the air. I was once his disciple. He trained me for 2 years when I was 12 years. During that time, he was 18 years. Therefore, aside fro

/Melissa's POV/ My face shrunk as Stacy ranted nonstop. Thick sweats mingled with her unsteady breaths as she unfolded her fear to me. "It's ok, Stacy. Breathe in and out slowly." I urged her. I have never seen Stacy appear this vulnerable in my presence. She always held up her head and stood strong all the time. Little did I know she could be this weak and timid. She crashed into the nearby chair. One of her hands was shaking vigorously which she held in place with the other hand yet both hands kept shaking vehemently against her thighs. Meanwhile, Sister Jane still hugged Kiera while I sat quietly beside Stacy, trying all my efforts to console her. Silence was all I felt, I was confused and did not know where to start consoling her. "I thought Ezio was his only brother. So you guys have twin siblings?" "He didn't tell you?" She muffled quietly, making me doubt if she had spoken. "Tell me what?" I replied in her tone. I just want to sound more sympathetic. "I wasn't related
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 057. At The Hospital
Melissa's POVLater in the evening, I left for the hospital. I shouldn't have told the doctor about my fear. I shouldn't have told him I don't want my family to involve. But how could I have kept it from my family?It has been 2 months since I was diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer back in Germany. The exact illness that took my mom's life. My mom didn't make it alive despite treatments and surgeries. How would I make it? I already give it up since the doctor said I have a few months left but I should do well and come for treatment because of pain. What pain was much more than lying on the sickbed while counting your days slipping out of you every single minute? Instead of yielding to treatments, I'd want to endure the pain out here in the world while I make the little time I have left worth living.I decided to do those things I didn't have the chance to do. Wasn't it pathetic that I wasn't as lucky as my Mom? She was fortunate to die in the arms of her lover.Since I couldn't hav

Melissa's POV I crept my way to the library as I couldn't keep mingling with Donald's breath in the class. Yet, it was so pity I couldn't escape from him as I have thought. His sudden presence in the library startled me. My breath reversed as he approach me with intent. I flinched, wishing to disappear into the book I was reading. A huge gasp of breath escaped from my lung as he paused on his steps abruptly, however, I haven't normalized when his hand swing off the book from my hands. I became stupefied. My eyes connected with his dazzling eyes. They pierce at me like a dreadful monster. I didn't snatch out of his spell easily until he disappeared from the library. I creased my brows as I felt the mixture of sadness and joy in me as of the moment his presence was no longer felt. —I was joyous because I got to see him and his presence there tells me he came for me. However, I was sad that he left too quickly and I couldn't do anything to stop him. As soon as I realized I have miss

Donald's POV"Don't mutter it...! Don't even think of it," Stacy said, her eyes glowing with pleads. "I vow to capture him. Please count it on me...huh!" She added."Am I gonna sit and watch him as he expands his zone? It was just two weeks since I dispatched him." I replied, making Stacy speechless.Definitely, he was sent as a spy to the Shark Wing. Unfortunately, Alessandro took the bait just like I did... now, I'm regretting it. I grieved more. The most soothing aspect of my operations was the collection of my victim's database. For each of my victims, I access their database through their electronic gadgets. Their database in my grasp made me feel this special kind of joy as their conqueror and with that, I could make such victims my puppet whenever I want... especially if they got out of my den unharmed.Frisco had done the same with Melissa when I haven't used it against her. How dare he?"That scumbag got the gut to use my trick against me. I trusted him...! I trusted him so
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 054. Illogical Plan
Donald's POVI strolled through the shelves of books in the Library while sneaking my eyes to search for Melissa. I close my eyes briefly and my body shivered to respond to the earthy floral scent that suddenly stuck in my nostrils. It made my steps pause and awakened me in a way I couldn't fathom. Quickly, I sneaked my eyes through the stack of books on the shelf intending to catch sight of Melissa secretly.Feeling her warm scent nearer, I wander my feet to the next shelf. My attempt to see her was futile. My steps took a very slow pace as my finger rode through those books as though I was checking for my favorite book. Just like she sneaked out of my embrace, she also cowered out of my sight as soon as the free period started. Ever since I have been stalking her. I couldn't believe I stalk her until I got stuck in this murky place where I hate to stay the most. The smell of books was too toxic and unpleasant to me. I wonder why students found these dense books lodge a pleasant pl
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 053. I And You Alone!
Melissa's POV "Ms. Ella, your class has a new student." Mr. Andrew, the homeroom teacher called the attention of a fair skinny woman in her early-30s. She seems to just start the class as she was writing the Subject's name on the whiteboard. I signed inwardly as several eyes scowled at me like I'm a ghost. I instinctively gestured a waving hand at them to reduce the awkwardness. The scowl in their eyes wasn't surprising to me. —Usually, final year classes don't admit new students, over it all, this was the last semester and I have spent two months from it in my previous school out of the five months in the semester's calendar. This tells how notorious Davis Scott was! As soon as Mr. Andrew left, Ms. Ella smiled tenderly, "You can introduce yourself, Ms. Red." Gasping laughter filled up the classroom. My brows furrowed confusingly. Ms. Ella raised a brow at me in return and her hand gesture to urge me to be fast. My teeth gritted with a grimace. 'Swallow it up, Melissa.' My i

Melissa's POV"Ah... Please don't stop.... ouch!""Ah... Please... Yes... don't beat back... ouch!""Ah..ah...ah... Keep aching me... bad!" My feet paused as I enter the female's restroom. Loud erotic moans filled the air. The fact that the main door was left unlocked while this was going on in the small Stall amused me.Why would students lack so much decency?Loud and steamy, their moans kept impeding my hearing. I went straight to the last Stall to empty my bowel. The food I eat early in the morning tends to constipate me. Usually, I don't eat breakfast early in the morning until 10 am upward, however, I couldn't handle the growling of my stomach since dawn. So, as soon as I left Donald's house, I branched to a restaurant to eat. So, unfortunately, It went on the wrong side of me.Huge smiles crammed my face as I recalled my moment with Donald. I wouldn't have believed that man slept in my embrace overnight if not that my pure eyes confirming it.I opened my eyes to see his hands
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 051. Broken Heart
Donald's POVThe melody from the cool morning breeze danced the curtain away from its rest. The blond rays of the sunrise escaped through the opened curtain and poured their beauty on my gentle sleepy face. I had opened my eyes for a while but I felt so weak to stand up. I haven't slept a pleasant sleep in a long time. I plunge my face into the pillow, rolling my length to and fro as I felt lazier to stand up. However, as I remember I spent the night with Melissa in my embrace and I was the only one in bed this morning, I sat up abruptly and prowled my gaze around. No wonder the sleep was the most peaceful one I had. Was it because I was laying in an angel's embrace? I snickered.I got disappointed when I didn't see her in the room. Daily, it seems I've been getting addicted to her presence... her melodious voice.... and her scent... Now, her warmth was tempting me. "Melissa, are you there?" I knocked on the bathroom door. Her scent had left my side for a while, so I thought she co
Mafia Heiress's Fictitious Fiance 050. Dream-Talk
Donald's POVI didn't voice a reply but observed him raging. To be candid, Ezio was a beloved brother to me. He didn't treat me differently and most Lycan who couldn't differentiate wolf scent apart from Lycans would think I was a Lycan.That was the level of intimacy we once shared. However, from the last 5 years that we were separated, I have grown and I'd know when I was loved genuinely from just facial sympathy."I'm gonna do everything to break that Sire Bond and shatter you into pieces. That's what you get for having eyes on my thing." He grunted and his monstrous fangs hardened together. "Whether sired or not. I've only come here to give you a warning. I don't take lightly what I owned." I paused briefly and clashed my shoulder against his to pave way for me. He stood rigid. Already knew that was what I'd do to make him pave the way for me. I whipped my head to him and our breath intertwined murderously. With a rocky pitch that sounded coarse, I creaked out a warning full of
