The ringing of my alarm woke me up. I moaned and groped for my phone, which was evidently on my nightstand. My eyes slowly opened, and I checked the time; it was already 7 a.m. What time did I sleep last night? 2 a.m? I couldn't sleep last night, so I drank myself to sleep. I can smell my breath, reeks of alcohol, feeling a little disappointed in myself. I used to be an organized person, but one girl ruined my plans. I exited my room and proceeded to the kitchen. Beer cans were strewn across the floor.
"I'll just let her clean this," I murmured. I took a glass, poured some water, and chugged it down.
She's supposed to be here at this hour. I furrowed my brows as I glanced at my watch. My mind flashed back to the memories of last night; her scent, her heavy breathing, her smooth skin. No! No! No! I exhaled sharply, closing my eyes. She's making me insane!
I decided to first take a shower in the hopes of clearing my mind a

[KHALI] I watched the brunette as she put on the gloves and apron hanging by the sink. I was determined to give her more challenges from now on. Let's see if she can make it through the week. "Are you sure about this, Khali? Don't you think this is too much?" Jey returned shortly after escorting the chipmunk girl out of my apartment. "Yup, I haven't done anything yet," I looked at her with my brows creased. She’s still wearing her disapproving look all over her face, but I didn’t care. She leaned on the couch, shaking her head. "Okay, fine," she shrugged, then gasped out loud. Her mouth was wide open in a broad smile. I couldn't believe how quickly her mood could shift. "Oh my God! I think I'm in love!" she exclaimed, "Reese is so kind and cute!" I’m surprised that she’s now addressing her on a first-name basis. She looked at the ceiling dreamily, and I just grimaced at her reaction. I stood up and sarcas

[JANE] I was just silent as we headed back to the car. Jey must have noticed my silence after she loaded the groceries into the trunk. "Are you alright?" she asked curiously. "I can't believe Khali thinks I'm dating you in the middle of the day," I grumbled as I slipped my phone into my pocket. "What? Seriously? I'm sorry. But really, she's a nice person. It's just that after that—uhm—I don't know if I'm in the position to tell you about it, but let's say, there's something happened before that made her lose her trust in everyone. She's quite skeptical of everything, and she hates when someone humiliates her or someone looks down on her. She hates that," Jey explained. "It's normal to be skeptical of things, but she's just too

[KHALI] The whole ride to the Casino was awkwardly silent. Jane was sitting on the shotgun seat, just staring outside the window. My rage drove me to do something I shouldn't have, and remorse began to consume me the instant I knew I had hurt her. But it was her fault in the first place; she brought up a topic that is far too sensitive for me. She barely even knew me, yet she spoke as if she knew what I'd been through. I hate nosy people; those who enjoy poking their noses into things that are no longer part of their business. She should have given it more thought before passing judgment or even expressing an opinion about me. She drove me up to the wall. But right now, her silence bothered me. I had to look at her from time to time despite that she never cared to speak to me. I continuously tapped the steering wheel with my fingers as my anxiety started to kick in. This awkward tranquility irritates me. A few more minutes, and I decided to b

[KHALI] "Okay. What the hell was that, dude?” Jey asked in disbelief. I was left dumbfounded the moment Jane walked out the door, pulling Reese out of the room. I couldn't even comprehend what Jey was asking me. I didn't know how to answer her. Everything happened so fast. The last thing I remember was being enraged to see that guy so close to Jane, so I took her here to my private room, which I owned and designed, and to which Jey and the rest of my family have access. "I didn't expect that. You should have warned me!” Jey paced back and forth, and I closed my eyes irritably. I admit that I was mad, but I never expected that my anger would lead us to this. I felt confused. As far as I can remember, Jane pulled me in first. She initiated it; she kissed me first. It's not my fault! I just got carried away with how her lips pressed to mine, how her scent made me go wild, and how those feline eyes seemed like looking into my soul. She makes me go

[KHALI] I was awakened by the repeating sound of the doorbell. I groaned as I fluttered my eyes open. The sun rays creeping between the curtains hanging by my room hit my face. "Oh, God, who could that be?" I wondered as I looked at the clock on my bedside table. "At fucking 8 am?” I lazily got up and put on my shirt since I always sleep with just my sports bra on. I looked at my video intercom to see who it was; a guy wearing a black cap and black shirt. A delivery guy? I thought. I went to open the door, and I was welcomed by a big smile on his face. "Good morning, ma’am. I'm here to pick up Miss Jane Terranova's luggage," he said. I looked at him from head to toe, not even minding to answer. He appeared intimidated, as

[JANE] Fuck. What did I just do?! After what happened to us inside my office, fear had consumed every part of me. I’m terrified of my own feelings and not solely because of her. I feel like my feelings would betray me at any moment, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control them. I was just staring blankly at the door where she left. "Shit! This is so wrong,” I chewed my lip as I swallowed thickly, feeling the lump on my throat. Panic set in. I have no idea what will happen next, and I have no plans to find out because it could turn out to be something unexpected. I need Reese right now; I need my best friend. I fumbled with my phone as I tapped her name from my contacts list. I felt like something was rolling around inside my stomach, and I would throw up at any time. I felt horrible and miserable. Not just because I had sex with Khali, but also because it happened in my office. I felt ashamed of myself. I let her

[KHALI] I groaned when someone suddenly opened the blinds in my room. I don’t have to guess who it is. It's my obnoxious best friend, I know. "What the heck, Jey!" I whined as I took a pillow beside me to cover my face from the sunlight. "Don't fucking give me that attitude. Explain," I could hear her say sternly. I didn’t fret, and so she tried to pull the pillow from my face, but I was getting tired of arguing, so I just let her be. I sighed heavily as she tossed the pillow to the side. I sat up, furious at her, and asked, "What do I need to explain?" "Jane called Reese earlier. Reese was panicking, but she refused to tell me what had happened. I'm quite sure you're the only person I know who met Jane today. Now tell me, what the hell happened?” Her arms were folded across her chest, and her pensive gaze was directed at me. I didn't respond and simply averted my gaze. I'm not sure how I'm going to

[JANE] I watched them as they walked out of the club. I wonder what happened between Reese and Jey. I don't care about Khali – she can fuck whoever she wants. I don't care. Why am I pissed anyway? I sighed and looked on my side to find Reese almost chugging down her drink. "Whoa! Easy, girl!” I commented as my eyes widened in her action. She exhaled sharply as soon as she finished her glass and aggressively slammed it on the table. I felt worried about my best friend after she came back with Jey, as she was acting strangely. "Are you okay?” I asked in concern. I felt the urge to ask what happened. Nicole was also concerned and wrapped one arm around my best friend's shoulder. I guess alcohol made her possessive. "Reese Posie, what happened?” I held her arm to stop her from drinking again. Alcohol isn't a panacea for everything. She needs someone to talk to. "Nothing," she murmured monotonously. I scoffed and pursed my lip. Of

[JANE]A week passed after the incident happened. For me, the last two years have been a roller coaster journey. I never thought my life would change after I met Khali. My life had turned upside down, but I have never regretted it because I met the most amazing person in my life.I felt a pair of soft lips kissing my cheek as I opened my eyes. My favorite set of brown eyes was staring at me lovingly.“Good morning,” she whispered and gave me a peck on the lips this time. I found myself smiling unconsciously. I could get used to this, waking up with her by my side. This is the life I could always wish for, and now, I’m living with it.I wrapped my arms around her torso and leaned my head on her chest. I don’t want to get up yet. I just want us to stay like this for a little while. She kissed the top of my head and brushed my hair, making me feel sleepy once again, but before I could drift into sleep, she

[KHALI] As soon as we walked in, the suite seemed warm and inviting. I wasn't exhausted earlier, but the instant I saw our bed, it felt so tempting that I wanted to take a nap for a while. However, I can’t do that as I have to call my dad and inform him what had happened today. I need to know who the mysterious sniper was because I have a feeling that he’ll come after us. If the sniper knows where we are, hiding in this hotel won't help, and I still don't know his face. Jane was already settled on our bed, and it made me somehow feel at ease that she could finally rest. I'm well aware that I've put her in a difficult situation, and a part of me still feels responsible for risking her life. “You can take a rest. I'll just talk to dad,” I told Jane who just nodded in response. I smiled and kissed her on the forehead. As I headed back to the living room of the suite, so many things were running in my mind. I tri

[KHALI] A loud gunshot roared in the middle of our conversation. I was trying to calm Carmine down, who had a slew of bombs strapped to her body, ready to detonate at any moment. I couldn’t risk everyone’s safety in here. The gunshot, however, did not come from our side. I didn't give the order to kill Carmine. I was about to go near her when the sniper aimed near my foot. I couldn’t get the detonator from her. It seems like the sniper was preventing me to do so. Carmine was shot in the head. She collapsed like a log, and I couldn’t do anything at all. I looked around to see where the sniper was hiding. The bullet definitely came from behind from where Carmine was standing earlier. “Find the sniper!” I yelled. Carmine was already lying on the ground, lifeless. Another gunshot echoed in the field, and one of my subordinates was shot dead. Shit! I’m certain that the sniper wants us all dead. I ran inside the house to find Jane. We need to survi

[JANE]“You stay here. I’ll have to deal with her,” she told me before she pulled her gun and went out of the room. I was apprehensive about what was about to happen. It came as a shock to me to know that Carmine has a son, and Nicholas is probably the father. As much as I want her to pay for all the bad things she’d done, her child has nothing to do with it. The child shouldn’t suffer for what his mother did.I just stayed inside the room and waited for Khali to come back. I’ve been imagining things in my head that maybe Khali already killed Carmine, yet I haven’t heard any gunshots. I took my phone out to see if any of my friends texted or called me. I felt worried about Reese since she told me she was heading to Paris to see me, but I hadn't informed her I was already with Khali. What if Carmine’s underlings got her?I won’t be able to forgive myself if something happens to her. I sighed a

[KHALI]“She doesn’t want to negotiate,” Teddy said over the phone a few hours after I asked him to communicate with Carmine. I heaved a sigh and gulped. I have to try for one last time.“Direct me to her line; I’ll talk to her,” I told Teddy. This will be the last time I’ll negotiate with her. I’ve been planning this for a long time, and I thought of using this plan when there’s no other way to reach an agreement with her.“Alright, I’m dialing her number,” Teddy remarked. After a few moments of silence, I heard the other line ring. There’s a static noise in the background, and finally, she answered.“I said, I don’t want to negotiate. It’s either I die, or she dies!” I heard her voice at the end of the line. I scoffed and laughed cynically.“If you prolong this, you’ll lose everything. Are you that insane enough

[KHALI] I almost regret agreeing to punish her. I was worried she'd hate me again once she woke up. But then she's mumbling my name, saying "I love you" over and over. Hearing such words from her made my heart leap with delight. She meant it. She meant it when she said she loves me and accepts me wholeheartedly. After I untied her wrists and ankles, I went beside her and scooped her in my arms. I never knew cuddling with her could make me feel contented and happy. She's the only person whom I wanted to spend my life with, and at that moment, it's as if everything fast-forwards. I could see myself with her in the future. I'll support whatever she wants to do in life as long as she's here with me. There's just one person I need to get rid of before I can feel at ease. I need to find Carmine and kill her. As long as she's alive, I can't guarantee Jane's safety. I won't be able to forgive myself if something bad would happen to Jane.

[JANE] “I want you to tie me up and punish me,” I told her, and I pulled her close to capture her lips again. I wanted to show her that I love her and I accept her; that rather than changing for me, she can embrace her flaws, and I will gladly accept her wholeheartedly. I understand that she told me not to tolerate her darker side, but I can’t deny that I needed the dominant Khali in my life. I’ve learned to love her sadistic side. There must be something wrong with me, but I couldn’t care less. I love her so much. I could sense a loud thumping of pulses in my ear, and I’m not sure if it’s hers or mine. She gasped for air and pulled away. She was panting as she looked at me. Her eyes were dark in lust, and I could tell I finally pulled her out, the Khali I’ve always loved. She took my hand in hers as she slid off the bed, leaving me seated on the edge. “Hold out your hand,” she ordered. She was looking intently at me as she to

[KHALI] This time, our roles were reversed. I looked for Carmine for days, but she was nowhere to be found. My subordinates were unable to locate her, but I'm not going to give up looking for her, and if I do, she’ll be dead. There's no other way to put an end to this game of hide and seek. Jane stayed on the ranch with me. When she's with me, the days pass by, and there was never a dull moment. It felt like a dream come true for me, having her in my arms when I wake up in the morning. It seemed unthinkable just a year ago, but now, I’m living my life with her. I went to the stable early in the morning. Checking on my horses has become a habit of mine. I named my favorite horse ‘Santiago’. Among the other horses, he is the most well-behaved and powerful. I was patting his head and brushing his long silky hair when I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I looked back, and there she is, the love of my life. She kissed my nape an

[JANE] I had a nice dream, but it faded the moment I opened my eyes. I was sure I heard someone speak those words.Was it all just a dream? Or did it actually happen? The sunshine streaming in through the window lit up the room where I was resting. Perhaps it wasn't a dream after all. I'm lying in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room. I stared too long at the wooden ceiling before I decided to get up and bring my feet to the cold wooden floor. The atmosphere wasn't eerie or spooky. Since meeting Khali, I've grown accustomed to waking up in a different bed, in a different place.Oh, Khali! Where is she? My eyes were all over the place, and my feet brought me out of the room. Her warm gaze greeted me as soon as I opened the door. She's standing there with a tray of food in her hand, which I assumed she had prepared for me.Thoughtful. It wasn’t a dream. Maybe it happened.
