Kieran couldn't take his eyes off Lesley, who was busy eating. They sat facing each other on her bed with their trays of food resting on their laps.

His conscience is still haunting him for what he did last night. He is not used to being rejected by women. He always gets what he wants from them, freely and effortlessly.

But Lesley was different from all the women he had met. He should not treat her as an easy girl. She deserves a lot more respect than he showed her last night. She is more precious and special.

Even though she says that she has forgiven him and that they should just forget what happened, he is still angry with himself. It's hard to forget something like that.

He gritted his teeth in silent fury. How dare he do that to her? She doesn't deserve that! What went through his mind and he did that?

He also couldn't forget what she had said earlier about them being strangers. He wants to know what is going through the girl's mind and what she really feels.

    "Don't ignore me," he said in a low and harsh tone. "Answer my question.""Change topic," she responded indifferently.He became annoyed at her trying to dodge his questions. "Did you kiss?"She coughed, almost choking on her food, and then quickly reached for the glass of water and drank it. Then face him again. "Why do you want to know that? That's in the past. We're over now, so don't ask about it.""But I want to know! Do you know how heartbroken I was during those times? I was so insecure of him!""Don't be.""So, did you?""What?""You kissed, didn't you?"Her cheeks blushed. "Well," she cleared her throat, "just a few times. But it's nothing compared to your experience. You've been with a lot of women. Do you know what men like you are called nowadays?""What are you—""Fuckboy. That's what they call you now, and it does not sound nice."He gaped wide in shock. "What— Fuck what?!""Ah, that's it! Nevermind. We're done eating. Return the trays and dishes," she snorted."Wait! Wh

    Lesley and Kieran held hands as they walked and followed Dan's quick steps. They are headed to the Rose Room. Catharina has summoned them there.The Rose room was one of the most important places in Crimson Clan's Main Hideout. It was where all their moves and plans against the MNA were carried out and discussed. This was also where the high-ranking officials of the organization gathered to make decisions on important and complicated matters.Dan halted his big steps and faced them. "We're here," he said, placing his hand on the knob of a tall and wide wooden door to their right.Lesley took a deep breath with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait to hear what Catharina had to say. She was sure it was about her family. How are Amanda and Patrick? she wondered. Are they in the room waiting for her? And are they still angry at her? she hoped not.She had many questions and fears, but she was ready. Her grip on Kieran's hand tightened as Dan pushed open the door.They walked slowly into

    "How about you? Do you have someone like Jacoben?" Catharina asked, grabbing the chair next to Lesley and sat. Lesley's smile gradually faded. "Uhm, no, nothing either.""You're kidding, right? Someone as pretty and kind as you don't have a friend? I find that hard to believe."She sighed, and a dry smile formed on her lips. "I was busy with my studies too. I wanted to make my mother as happy as possible, so all my attention was on her and our family. I didn't even have time for myself. And... I'm not a very confident person, and I'm a bit reserved. I guess people thought I was weird." "Oh... I see. I hope you find friends here. We have girls here who are your age. Do you want me to introduce you to them?""No. It's alright," she politely declined and then rotated her head to look around. "It's beautiful here.""Thank you! I decorated this room," Catharina said proudly, slightly raising her chin. "The furniture here is from our mansion in Luxembourg. I brought it here to the Philipp

    Lesley's eyes widened, and her mouth hung open. As if someone poured her a bucket of cold water, and she was left paralyzed. She didn't want to believe it, but there was no reason for Kieran's sister to lie to her."I-I'm sorry... Did I hear you correctly? Am I Maridona's baby? The one Victor supposedly killed?"Catharina stared painfully into her eyes. "Yes, you're Samantha Nobles. You're Maridona's missing child.""Impossible!" she strongly objected. "Ho-How? How did that happen?!"Her brain is trying to piece together everything, but she is struggling to comprehend. It doesn't make sense. She couldn't figure out how it happened. Her stomach felt like it was spinning, and she wanted to throw up. Catharina stared dejectedly at her as if she was also hurt. She can see pity and worry on her face."Tell me, what really happened to me?!" she demanded.The woman took a deep breath before speaking. "MNA has become short of Nobles blood. Maridona, Victor's eldest, is MNA's only supply, so t

    Lesley took several deep breaths after she and Catharina arrived at this little garden above the hideout. They went outside to get some fresh air so she could liven up a little and feel relieved from all she had discovered today.They walked around the garden as Catharina showed off some of the plants she had worked so hard to grow and flourish. Thanks to her, Lesley felt better.After they had gone around the garden, a woman came and whispered something to Catharina. The beautiful woman has a porcelain complexion and squinty eyes. She was small and slender, like a doll. They seem to be the same age, but most of all, she is a human. This is the first time she has seen anyone who is not a mutant in the two Crimson Clan hideouts other than Mrs. Dapit and Catharina.Lesley can now sense mutants better than when she was still in MNA. Back then, she wondered how she could do that, but now she knows why she could feel their presence. She has the Nobles Blood flowing in her system, the blood

    "Wait a minute! What are you doing?!""Guys! This is Lesley! She'll be joining us!" Rio shouted to his friends, ignoring her."What?! I did no—""I don't care as long as we can eat. I'm starving!" the grumpy guy snarled at Rio.She wanted to withdraw her hand from his tight grip and scream because she didn't like what he did. But she didn't seem to have the strength. She can't even get angry and argue. She felt lethargic. She could only sigh as she silently followed the three. Well, whatever. I don't have anything else to do anyway, she reasoned with herself.Rio was the one doing most of the talking and telling stories about the hideout and the mutants here. She just nodded and agreed to everything he said until they reached their destination.Lesley froze on her feet and looked around in amazement. A high waterfall surrounded by tall trees and living rocks welcomed her sight. The ground was blessed with many unique and beautiful plants and flowers. This is her first time seeing a w

    Thank you so much for your time and appreciation of my story! I really want to thank you, wherever part of the world you are right now. I am hoping for your continued support. Please share my work with your friends and family, and rate my book kindly. THANK YOU! The Boy Behind The Red Door is the second story I wrote, ever. I was mourning the loss of my twins when I discovered the world of web novels. I was not a novel read and never was. Not until I needed to find something to distract me from my sorrows. That's when I discovered that novels could help you escape from everything, even temporarily only. It's not the answer to our problems, but it makes us help get through them, especially emotionally. And becoming a writer was a whole different thing. It was fulfilling and it somehow is therapeutic. I hope that all of you reading my story can find inspiration and at least entertain you the way my favorite web novels did. Thank you for your support!

    "His full name is Leonardo Dimana. His whole body turns black and he moves quickly. He is great in hiding, especially in the dark, so he is always on recon duties. He is hot-headed because he fell from his cradle with his head first on the ground when he was a baby." "Hey!" Leo barked. "Don't invent stories about me!" But Rio ignored him and continued with his stories. "And, he doesn't like women because all the women in his life have treated him badly. He was a vagabond when he was a child. That's where MNA noticed him. Because he's a young orphan, no one will look for him so they kidnapped him. He grew up surrounded by female scientists. Everyone with boobs that he saw caused him pain. So it took a while before Boss Cath gained his full trust." "Hey! Stop gossiping about me!" Leo shouted which they ignored again. "Is he the one I saw hovering outside the MNA building," Lesley asked. "Huh? When?" "The day we escaped. I was outside and I saw him peering behind the trees, I think?

    Lesley can hear her heart beating loudly inside her chest. Her palms clenched in nervousness as they stared into each other's eyes."I… I got very angry with you, and I was bitter… But I still love you..."She saw his face getting redder. She could feel herself slowly being swallowed by his gaze that seemed to penetrate deep inside her."How about the things you said before I left?" he asked in his low and deep voice. "Do you want me?"She slightly raised his eyebrows at this and pursed her lips."What do you mean?" she asked nervously.The atmosphere is getting hotter. She knew what he was talking about. But it was too embarrassing to admit now without the alcohol in her system."You remember it, right? Everything you said... and what we almost did here in your room," He brought his face closer to hers. "Lesley, tell me honestly... Do you want me inside you?"Lesley can hear the loud beating inside her chest as if she will have a heart attack at any moment. Only one person has the ab

    "Why are we here on my bed? There's a table," Lesley calmly asked Kieran, who was comfortably eating on top of her bed, positioning himself in the middle while she was at the end as if she was the guest and he owned the space."Because eating is better when done in bed," he answered with a meaningful smile.Lesley understood the double meaning in his statement. She stared at his face flatly, initially wanting to refute him, but she decided just to ignore him. "Besides, this is where we used to eat. It's more comfortable. I promise I won't make a mess," Kieran added.She sighed. She agreed to talk to him tonight about their relationship, especially those things she said and acted when she was drunk.But is this the right decision, biting Kieran’s bait and letting him into her room?She stared at the tray of food resting on her lap for a few seconds and then at Kieran's food. She frowned, shifting her gaze to Kieran’s face."Anything wrong? Don't you like it?" he asked."I'm just wonder

    Lesley stared intently at him for a few seconds before sighing heavily. "Fine," she finally agreed, walking to a table nearby. And then she started to put her things away. "Instead of moving on with each other, I messed with your mind again," she murmured, then looked straight at him. "This is my fault. I'm sorry.""No. It's not your fault!" He exclaimed, shaking his head. "It was me. I did this. If I hadn't asked you for that one last kiss, last night wouldn't have happened."She paused, frowning at him. "What are you implying?""I made you feel something in that kiss, and you can't forget me," he answered so casually.Lesley scoffed, shaking her head. "I don't even know what to say. Can you stop assuming?"He walked to her, slightly bending down to put his mouth closer to her ears. "You miss me… And you want me…."Lesley stepped back and glared at him. If only those stares could cut him, he would be in pieces."I'm being serious," he immediately said while holding back a grin. "But

    Lesley groaned painfully from the sudden throbbing in her head as soon as she woke up, the effect of the few glasses of alcohol she drank last night. She doesn't feel like getting up with how heavy her body feels until something suddenly occurs to her. She sprang up, sharply inhaling while covering her mouth with both hands. Her eyes widened in disbelief, recalling the events of last night."No... No, no, no!"She grabbed her hair and shook her head, wishing it was a dream.'What have I done?!'She closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips. She bent until her forehead touched her knees, burying her face in shame. If only the ground would swallow her right now. How will she deal with Kieran now? She doesn't even know if she still has a face to show him after her actions last night. "Lesley, are you awake?"Her breathing hitched when she heard the voice of the last man she wanted to see today. Her face lost its complexion as she looked towards the door.She remembered that Kieran pro

    "What… What do you mean?" Kieran asked, staring intently at her face. "You're asking me why it has to be the last kiss? Do you... Do you want more?"Lesley's heart was beating so fast that she could hear its deafening pounding.She could not take her gaze off Kieran's eyes, which were also fixed on her, even though she felt like she was melting to the ground.Her expression remained brave and confident even though her thoughts were getting tangled in her brain.'What are you doing, Lesley?!' she scolded herself in her mind.She can already see that she will regret this in the morning. But she can't do anything but continue what she started. And she couldn't stop herself either, as if she had lost control."What's wrong with that?" she continued.There flared a strange sparkle in Kieran's eyes. He was speechless for a couple of seconds before he could respond to her."D-Do you... Do you mean it? Seriously—"He suddenly paused when he realized something. He blew violently and shook his

    "Can I kiss you one last time?"Lesley caught her breath at Kieran’s sudden request. Her heart rate doubled and she froze in place."Please?" he pleaded.She gulped as she couldn't take her gaze off his pitiful expression, especially his eyes that had turned gray.She slightly pressed her lips for a split second while trying her best to control the crazy beating of her heart.How can she say no to him with that kind of expression on his face? He looks pitiful, but at the same time, irresistibly adorable."Okay..." she answered absent-mindedly.Kieran wasted no time. He let go of her hand and stepped closer so that their bodies were almost touching. Then he cupped both of her cheeks gently while staring intently at her face as if he had been looking forward to this opportunity for a very long time.She held tightly to the hem of his black t-shirt and then closed her eyes as he slowly brought their faces closer.A second later, she felt his soft lips gently touching hers, and her heart

    Lesley took her deepest breath and then looked ahead. She decided to go to the training grounds to warm up. Rio might be there now to start their new training."Lesley!"She scrambled to her feet when she heard Kieran's voice calling out to her."Lesley, please wait!"She ignored him until he finally caught up to her."I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop," he said.She took a deep breath and slowly faced him."Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter," she coldly responded.Kieran just smiled, then he held out a clean towel familiar to her. "I wanted to give this back to you."She frowned. "Is it mine?""Yes. It fell on the training grounds the last time we talked there. I washed it, so it's clean."She stared at his eyes for a few seconds, and then she averted her gaze immediately as if burned by something she saw in them."Thank you," she said, almost choking on the word."You're welcome," he answered sweetly.Lesley stared at Kieran again, which seemed strange. He appeared oddly dif

    The sun had not risen yet, but Lesley was already busy helping Avery inspect the food rations that arrived at the hideout every two days. She volunteered to help because she wanted to know something that would help in her plan."Are you only assigned to food?" she asked as Avery busied herself with several pages of paper containing lists of the rations they had received."Yep," her friend answered without looking at her."What about other things? Like guns and medicines?""We have other people for that. I was only assigned to food rations because eighty percent of it comes from our family.""I see..." she trailed. "How about the gadgets? Where do you get the gadgets?"Avery frowned and looked up at her."Gadgets? What do you mean?""You have a burner phone, don't you? I see some mutants using that.""Do you want one?"She nodded, stepping closer. "Yes! How can I get one?""Is there someone outside you want to call?" Avery asked suspiciously."No one," she answered quickly with a broad

    The air-conditioning in the room was cold enough, but a drop of sweat still managed to escape Kieran's forehead. Since he woke up from a wet dream a few hours ago, his body still felt hot. He knew he had to release this heat. But he doesn't seem to have the energy for anything right now. He is too lazy to even get up.Kieran has been awake for a while now. But he hasn't gotten up yet. He rested his head in his hands as he stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling his happy memories with Lesley and intimate moments.He kept thinking about the sexy dream he had last night. He misses her in his arms, her lips on his, her perky breasts, and her hot wetness. He recalled how sweet those tasted, especially the heaven between her legs. But most of all, he yearns for her beautiful eyes that always look at him passionately, and her soft voice muttering words of love for him. Oh, how he longed for that.If he only knew that they would be like this, he would have shown more of how much he loves he
