Donald's POV

"Did I keep you waiting?"

Melissa squeezed her face on looking up at me. Sluggishly shook her head twice in a response to tell me NO, however, she jeopardized that decency by lashing out at me in her usual counterattacking manner.

"That means I should admit we are even! Now, I can greet you without hindrance and pride."

She rose from the chair and curtsied royally while murmuring along in a humble voice, "Good afternoon, Mr. Donald Don."

I almost drool from my lips but firmly poised to rebuke all her sarcasm, "Funny!" I snarled without responding to her gesture rather took my seat.

Having realized I was indifferent, she turned on that demonic side of hers again. With a sneer, she uttered without hindrance, "Your eyes were red and you looked meaner than when you left."

I held her statement within nor appeared mortified, instead, I fixated on the table. The dishes have been cleared except for the wines. In front of me was an opened booklet which I ignored and reply to her.

I should be happy that one of my plans worked out and I don't have to worry anymore but deep down in my core, I felt unrest. I need to talk it out to someone, however, no one... For me, there was no shoulder to lean on. No friend to sob with me and no family to have my back. I felt empty and alone. As if I was straying off... As if I wasn't my usual self. I had blocked Alice and Kelly on all of my social media and I did not feel guilty about it. Friendship needs to be genuine! Not fake! But for this step I took, I was clueless... I don't know if this was the right decision, however, I didn't have any bad feelings toward it. I need to make this man aware that the relationship we shared was nothing but fake should in case I did not succeed in my Task. "Do you think I was the culprit who attack your residence?"

Their scowls were mercilessly dark and enough to send one hanging.I backed off and glared around narrowly. Those customers around were scanty compared to yesterday when I came chopping. My gaze did

We as well do the necessary things as a couple, however, I wouldn't term it as a date. It sucks that he kept to himself all through. Each attempt to make him laugh or chitchat with me failed, regardless, he did not appear gloomy. This part of him was just too difficult to define! And I noticed it worsened after the encounter with that rude man. Only God knows what happened between them. Judging by their affluence, they might be rivals and sworn enemies. Couldn't he be thankful that I save his a$s from such a man?The silence was too awkward that I could no longer handle it as he drive. "Can you at least turn the music on? This silence is killing me." I murmured. He wasn't responding. His palms were rubbing the steering tightly that I could see the shot of blood that made his hands pale. "Was that man s

That embarrassed me more and with the fact that I couldn't mutter a word to stop him even when the address was sent to me. How could I be that dumb to follow his lead?As soon as I fled from the elevator, my muddled mind kept asking my head the same question nonstop, 'What did I just do with him?'But this silly man could only grin at me the first moment he stepped out, "Does something like that move you?" I felt nothing but the mocking in his tone. That travesty smirk threw me back from the awareness that I was swaying aimlessly within the foyer. "Melissa, it was just an illustration, don't you want them to see us so intimated?" He still pouted with that mockery tone.I fastened m

A sweet husband that would make every moment of your days with him worth living. A caring husband who despite all your disputes, he would still cherish you even more than himself. A man who would treat you differently in the most selfless way than whatever othe

    Donald's POVI sat on one of the stools in the Ballroom watching Melissa's intuitive steps swaying her away. A light chuckle braced my face but was cut short by a shrill old woman's voice piercing through the music yet smiling as she approached me."She is a damsel! Are you her date tonight?" I shook my head having brought myself back so quickly, "Err- Not really." I gobbled down a shot of chilled whiskey, rolling my tongue sweetly to savor it.As she whispered to the Bartender, she sat on the next stool. Once done, she gave me a sympathetic look. "I remember when I was young and my husband left me. I thought I would never find happiness again until I found my second husband."I smiled. "That's nice." while tapping the shooter."Do you have any children?" She asked while being thrilled as lascivious smiles leave her face not. Seductively, she winked and tongued out at me while shamelessly roaming her fingers upon my lap.Devilish smiles couldn't leave my face. I shook my head negativ

    Donald's POV"Pretense to what?!" Her face shrunk into confusion. With a disbelieving smirk, she rapidly dragged her feet on the ground and twirled around. Pausing to face me, she counterattacked with a raging pitch."How am I supposed to know you have an older brother when this City only sees you as the Boss? Your auras filled everywhere! Tell me how I suppose to know!"Then, subtly, her voice broke out like shattering pieces of glass, "What else am I supposed to do to be free? I struck this deal intending to be free of this imposed marriage!" I couldn't believe her utterances. Even the gaze she was sparkling. Standing up abruptly, I drew another hot good smoke and hovered my face over hers intimately. She did not startle but her mind throbbed. I could see those eyes calling for liberty."It is simple." I gritted my teeth together. It oozed out the flames to tenaciously splash over her face. She was in it without faltering nor with a spit of cough.Croaking out a raspy voice, I advi

    Donald's POVShe wasn't drunk yet she fell asleep a minute after I started driving. What a witty sleeper. I couldn't have been wrong. The face on her when she yelled at me... Does it imply she like me or those tantrums were about the termination of her engagement?'Confess to me that you like me!' I recalled her outburst. A peal of huge laughter ruminates in my belly. I couldn't hold myself but laugh at her pale face. It was as though she hasn't been sleeping since the day she left. Sitting on the couch and watching her this closely, I couldn't resist but touch her... That face always displays her buoyancy. Those eyes couldn't let down but gleam at me. Those lips that always call for me every time she opened them to rave. I wish I could have another taste... now and then. My hand trailed on them irresistibly. Pity for me, she was no longer a hope of me but now for Ezio De' Sandro! 'If I will choose. It's you... I will choose you...over and over... and over without thinking twice!

    /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

    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

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

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.

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
