I put a light lipstick on my lips."That should do it, Raven!"Raven entered my room. "Yes, Everleigh—Ohh, why are you wearing make up?""Is the car ready?" I check my whole body appearance for the last time."Yes. Why are you wearing make up?"I face him. "I'm going to treat Jackson today. Just a friendly date. I want to thank him for 'taking care of me'."I emphasize the words 'taking care of me'."And wearing with that? Are trying to look sexy?"I arched my brow. "It's just a simple outfit."I wore a white crop top partnered with cardigans shorts and white sneakers. I have a golden neclace and golden earings. I messy bun my hair and leave a bit of hairs on the side of my face.I saw him gulped. "People could to your stomach,"I irritatedly rolled my eyes. "Argh! I'm just wearing like this often times, very often." I walk towards him and made a sexy poses.Everleigh POV"Class dismiss," the prof said before getting his things on his table and walk out of the room. Our afternoon and evening class ended.

Five topics in our syllabus, freaking five topics with more than 20 sub topics!Jackson turned to me. He put his arm at the back of my seat. The other is leaning on my armchair. He leaned forward and tilted his head; wearing his smug looking face. "Want help? I can give you my notes. I already read those."I looked at him before giving him a chuckle. "Nah, I'm okay. I can do it," I said before grabbing my bag.Jackson followed me until we got to parking lot. I let Jackson drive me home. I can't face Raven, though I'm sorry for leaving him behind the parking lot.~~"I can't do it!!" I throw my pen away. I'm reading this freaking book for a couple of times and still I can't understand anythin

"Are you saying that someone..." the shadow show how the boss gripped the bottle he was holding and shattered, "someone knock you off!"The voice was so loud to bled their ears; echoed all over the room and vibrated the glass table they have. The man standing beside the wall trembled in fear. His hands unconsciously played his pants—scratching. He is the man Raven encountered, full of black eyes, bruises on cheeks, wounded lips, and has a gauze above the eye."And that someone is Code R. A?!" "We've been tracking down CCTV on the said shopping mall, but, unfortunately he isn't seen. Code R. A is smart enough to cover himself on blind spots,'' Code Red said.Code Black pushed a button on the remote of the projector. The projector reveals the CCTV footage, no people are shown but only th
Everleigh POVAfter the class, the result of my review was worth it. I got a perfect score! Thanks to Raven's notes. It helped me a lot and easier, and of course, my energy was beyond my expectations today—despite of the sore down there. It still hurts when I walk, but I can walk for good.Shit!I felt my cheeks heated with the sudden thoughts of us in my bed. Oh my gosh! I can't believe myself I let him. But liked it! "Are you okay, Eve?" Jackson asked. We were both currently at the elevator, way down to the parking lot. "Yes, I'm okay, why I would not be?" I responded with my usual bitcy voice."Your face is red, do you have a fever?" Jackson put the back of his hand on my neck to check my temperature. "It's a bit hot,""Really? Am I?" I also feel my neck, cheeks, and forehead to see if he's right.Am I blushing that much?! Even in our way to parking lot, I can't wait to see Raven leaning on the car, waiting for me to arrive.I'm sta

Did he said anything of when he will come back?" Mr. Hunderson asked Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott shook his head. "No, but he gave me a resignation letter. Said he, if he couldn't comeback within 5 months, it means he will not make it here to be a personal guard. Did you tell him about the thing you promised?"The car stopped. "No, sir.

Susana saw us while kissing, my hands are on Everleigh's bottom—supporting Everleigh from grinding herself to me.I sighed. F*ck sake. I forgot to lock the door before entering. And now my sword is aching for attention."Susana, don't worry," I said. "Mr. Scott already knew about us. But... it is better of you pretend you didn't saw anything, please?"Susana blew air. "Oh my God... I promise." she stood. "I'll go get clean it—""No need, I'll clean it," I cut her off.She nodded rapidly. "Y-Yes. I-I'll go now,"In just a snap, she vanished form

Doctors and nurses came and check the old man. Everything went fast that Mr. Hunderson is responding with the question with nod and head shake.

He mouthed, 'it's okay,' and Mike replied with a worried eyes. Meanwhile, Jeffrey, on his head, he's been suppressing his violent demeanor.

I bought her donuts and drinks for snacks—she isn't eating. "You not hungry?" I asked.She shook her head before lifting her face.Apart from I wanted her to see outside and have a kind of little road trip date with her, this is for the shadow to distract him. He may have a his own securities at the hospital, or everywhere, so this could be a good distraction to his thoughts."Are you sure this is gonna work?" Eve asked, like this is a very dumb idea. "Isn't it too... you know, easy?"The end of my lips curved, before I eyed on her. "He is smart, he see us as his pawns and plaything

I remember now,"Raven leaned forward and reached for my lips. He planted one sexy kiss. He suck my lower lip, teasing me, and the sound that our kiss made got me wet down there. "I never forgot of you, Eve, never." His hand traveled down to my very core. I spread my legs for his professional fingers. "I was on dilemma when I saw you, all I know about you is your name is Leigh...nothing else,"I wrap my arms around his neck as my mouth opened a bit. His fingers started massaging my c-lit.

Raven POV"You know me even before?!" Everleigh shockingly asked me. "Really? When, where, how?!"I chuckled. I embraced her before kissing her neck. We just finished making love, but I'm insatiable. "Raven, tell me the story," "Hmm? What story?" I traveled my hands around her chest and face her with a smirk. Everleigh smack my hand and removed it. "Tell or else you'll never sleep here for month," My forehead creased. "What? No way,""Yes, yes way,""Alright," I fixed my position in bed. Everleigh lay her head on my chest. "Hmm, the first one is back in our grade school."~Flashback~Mom knocked on the door of my room decorated with marvel superheroes. It was my favorite. Our house is huge and we live in a village.

Everleigh POVI am happily eating my lunch Raven made me. It is so delicious! I can't help it! I turn the volume of my laptop higher, I'm currently watching a comedy romantic movie. The guy is so handsome, and he is always saying truth about his all to the woman he loves. See?This is what I wanted Raven to do!

How's Dad?They've been very busy with all their job to protect me. I wanted to visit Mr. Hunderson, I wanted to see Mike's doing. Is he okay?I think I'm kind of unfair to them. I'm busy sulking here while they are putting their lives on their dangerous jobs and situations. I guess I have nothing to but to hide, and hide.

I wanted to know all the truth, but my brain isn't read
Raven POV After what Everleigh said to me yesterday, I was in depth of the dark sea. I feel drowning from my own thoughts. Never had a chance to explain all my sides, thought, particularly, my fault to shook my head instead to nod. I wanted her to trust me, but it's me, lying is the reason of her wrath. I shouldn't have lied, if I wanted her to trust me, I shouldn't have. Instead, I should have just tell him partially of my identity. That would be great for her to accept me bits by bits. I'm so stupid. Currently, I'm standing on her closed door, holding the tray for her lunch. She doesn't want to come out, so I made her breakfast, and here lunch so she can eat in her room. There no maids left, so I did all what then maids are doing for her. Her laundry, her food, everything. I just instantly became her maid, just her maid. She would not even let me enter her room. Everytime I would try, she would push me away and beg for me to give
