The Mafia's Wild Flower Chapter 17: Let's go
Chapter 17: Let's goThere was a sudden lump in my throat. I could not breathe properly.My heart began heaving up and down in panic as he continued to look at me.Did he notice? Does my brown colored contact lenses look so fake? Can he see my actual blue eyes? "Y-You're quite too close, sir. Please, put some distance. People might misunderstood us.""No one is here than us," he said as a matter of fact. I think I might have a heart attack at this point. What does he mean by that? Why does it sound different?"You're being unprofessional today, sir. Please respect my personal space as well as my working space. I want to work a normal and peaceful work," I said. I made sure to put some emphasis on the tone of my voice so he'd understand I was being uncomfortable with our distance.Thankfully, he got my point and sensed my discomfort. He pulled away and stood up straight.I fanned myself through my hand, as if the A.C alone is not enough to make some air. I was sweating for God's sake!

I don't know where we are heading. Khein didn't tell me a thing or two, but I just went with it. He's probably up to have a meeting. No one knows."Be careful," he said, his voice was serious as he held me on my arm to steady me. I was about to strip while trying to get into his arm.I flinched. His touch feels like an electric bolt was touching my skin. I involuntarily jumped out of it.He let go of me and cleared off his throat and I awkwardly thanked him before getting inside the car.He eventually walked over across the car and went to the driver's seat.After he was seated, he threw me a side glance. "Put your seatbelts on," he stated.Blinking, I realized I wasn't on my seatbelt yet. "Ah, yeah. Thanks."He nodded his head and started the engine."Where are we going, sir?""You'll know later when we get there."My forehead creased. I badly want to know where we are going. The excitement and curiosity are literally killing me.It was thrilling me.Well, it's not that bad to have a

"What are we here for?" I asked. "I haven't had my lunch yet," he simply said which made my brows raise up."You can simply order through online and have them delivered right through your office. Why come all the way here?"He pulled a chair for me and I immediately sat down after uttering a quick thanks to him.He sat down on his seat across mine. He was stunning even after all the driving to this place from his company. "Why does it matter to you? Coming all the way here is worth it."I shook my head. "For someone who has a big company to deal with, coming to this place is totally unnecessary and incontinent. Unless you use a chopper, then it would be less inconvenient for you. I'd rather take the latter than suffer that hell of a traffic. Oh, gosh," I said before rolling my eyes heavenwards in an exaggerated way. "And why bring me here though if you only want to have lunch? Can't you eat alone?"I know I should act professionally as I am still at work and am facing the CEO, but I c

"What is this for?" I barely said. I couldn't find my voice. I was utterly stunned to even speak. It was as if I ran from a thousand miles, I was kinda panting. My heart was pounding against my chest like it wanted to come out.Why would he give me a necklace. What for?"Think of it as an apology for mistreating you last week."He pulled away and went back to his seat across mine. I was still in daze, unable to think nor move. To say I was stunned was probably an understatement, I am... shaken.No one, aside from my family's gifts, has ever given me a necklace as an apology to show off their sincerity towards me.I was moved.Soon enough, the waiter and waitress came to bring our food. I wasn't able to react yet because soon enough we were occupied with the dishes on our table."Do you have any allergies? Are you okay eating crabs?" he asked, as if my opinion matters the most.I shook my head. "N-Not that I'm aware of."He flashed me a small smile before nodding his head. "You should t

I wasn't planning to tell Khein where I was actually living, but then I had already agreed on letting him drop me off at my house. I was so stupid. I didn't think of it and just impulsively agreed with it. I feel like crying at my dumbness, omg."So, uh... thanks?" I said after the three long awkward moments of sitting in the car after we stopped right at the side corner of the street a few distance from the place I was living."Do you really live here?" he asked, his voice was void of any emotions. I grimaced and couldn't help but to feel a bit ashamed. I mean, he grew up privileged, so do I, but I was able to adjust immediately of living amongst the slums due to the fact that I often went to different raids our underground business does. Blending in society isn't much of a deal for me. But it varies to different people, of course."I do," I replied."And you lived alone?" he added before turning his head on me.I shook my head. Of course I wasn't living alone. I have my cat waiting

My hand reluctantly held the knob of my door. I was now having a second thought of really letting him in my apartment or not. His words rang through my head like a broken radio, and no matter how much I thought about it, it makes sense. He has a point. How could I let a stranger like him enter my house just like that.But anyway, it's too late to regret. If he does something to me, then I can just kill him like I did to the man earlier. Yes, I will—"Oh my fucking gosh...!" I gasped when I realized that something had actually happened in the morning. I was... attacked and I happened to kill a man on the same day.Oh, how could I even forget about that?! Why was I so nonchalant about the fact that I just killed a man on the very same day? How could it slip through my head that there's a possibility that the deceased body of the man I took the life with is probably still inside my apartment and bathing in his own flesh?Gosh!I really, really hope that Ustin cleaned it all for me whils

"You know what? Nevermind. Let's go in."And with that, I heartily opened my door and let myself in. Khein followed me behind.Thank goodness Ustin was quick enough to clean my mess up and on my rescue 24/7, I couldn't be more grateful.I put my things on the center table of my living and glanced at Khein was still standing near the door."So, this is where you live," he uttered, roaming his eyes around my place. My apartment isn't that big nor was it too small. Just enough for me. It's also one of the nicest apartment I've seen around here and it's enough for me."Yep." I nodded my head. "Please, have a seat. I'll make you a coffee. Feel free at home."I went to my room first and washed my face before I went and changed into a comfortable clothes. I saw Joni in his cage and pet him but I didn't take him out just yet. I noticed some poop under his cage and I cleaned them up first before I gave him food."I'll be back, Joni." Getting out of my room, I saw Khein was still wandering his

Khein, Joni, and I had dinner together. I have never ever imagined I would have a dinner with my boss inside my humble abode with my cat sitting across from us and happily eating his cat-friendly food and dessert I've ordered online specifically for him."When did you adopt him?" Khein asked. "He's so calm, huh. And kind..."For a moment, I wanted to agree with his statement. But then I realized that this cat could turn into an angry tiger when triggered. He may look calm and kind, but he could literally save your life when circumstances occur."Yeah..." was what came out of my mouth. "He really behaves well, you know.""I can see that." He chuckled, which made me smile."Anyway, do you really live here alone? Isn't it an unsafe place for you?"Actually, it is. I was practically just attacked earlier. This place is not safe at all! If I could only afford a condo unit without using my debit card, otherwise my father could track me down."I think so," I answered a safe answer to his qu

Emma left the room to give us some space and privacy. I clenched my fist as the tension between us thicken. I didn’t expect him to be back all of a sudden. Perhaps, it is a good thing as well."I don't want to stay here anymore," I declared with a steely gaze, my determination to leave this house firm in my mind. The sense of betrayal had eroded my trust in everyone around me, leaving me with a deep-seated desire to escape. "I will leave this house," I added, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions within.His eyes sharpened, and the tension in the room heightened as he gritted his teeth. My heart raced, but I maintained a composed exterior, unwilling to let him perceive any vulnerability. "Leave, you say? Ophelia, this is our house," he retorted after a brief pause, his voice laced with controlled intensity as if he were suppressing an inner turmoil.

The Mafia's Wild Flower Chapter 8
I've already made up my mind. I'll leave this place. I don't think there was a reason to stay. They were all lying to me, blatantly telling me lies that were obvious. They were deceiving me.Staying became increasingly challenging, especially since my husband, the supposed anchor for my presence here, was consistently absent. Despite their claims of my marriage, their inability to provide any evidence, not even a picture from my own wedding, added to my growing sense of disillusionment.I hung around for a while, hopeful that they'd eventually come clean. Unfortunately, that never happened – not even a bit.It became disheartening and hard to trust anyone.Disappointment settled in, directed at every individual under this roof.Leaving now feels not just necessary but also freeing. Staying doesn't do anything for me anymore. The lies have unraveled, showing a truth that lines up with what I've been feeling.I waited until everyone in the mansion was sound asleep before putting my esca

“Ma’am, your husband has already left,” Emma said, her tone cautious as she addressed me. These days, I wasn't in the best of moods, not because of any lingering sickness, but due to the nagging feeling that something was being kept from me. “He has left for work, and he’ll probably be back a week from now or so.” I nodded silently, then took a sip of the tea she had prepared for me. The revelation that my husband had left bothered me, but I chose not to show it. Why should I care or worry? After all, he didn’t even come to bid farewell himself, so why should I react as if I were genuinely disappointed. “Tell me, Emma,” I uttered, my tone seeking answers. “What were we like as a married couple before I lost my memories?” Caught off guard, Emma hesitated, her usually composed demeanor faltering for a moment. I closed my eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to steady myself before opening them again to face her. “I-I really didn’t know much, ma’am," she admitted, her words coming out
The Mafia's Wild Flower Chapter 6
I was back to square one. My husband appeared to be keeping something from me, and I couldn't shake that feeling.When I inquired if he was worried, he didn't respond. Instead, he abruptly left the room, seemingly ignoring my question completely. I felt bewildered and offended. Is he truly my husband? Why isn't he behaving like one?Following that incident, he didn't visit or contact me to check on my well-being. I felt disappointed.But then again, it couldn't be helped.Days passed, and the absence of my husband weighed on me. The unanswered questions and the growing void in our interactions left me grappling with a sense of isolation. I yearned for some connection, for reassurance, but he remained elusive."He hasn't visited or even checked on me. Is this how a husband should act?" I questioned, my voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and sadness.Emma, always composed, offered a reassuring smile. "People cope with difficult situations in different ways, Miss Ophelia. Perhaps

I took a deep breath as I followed him into his office. The man, who claimed to be my husband, seated himself at the desk with casual ease. I stood there, feeling like a fool, waiting for his next command. His expression soured when he saw me hesitating. "What are you doing?" he demanded, his jaws clenching in annoyance. I blinked, my mind still trying to process the overwhelming information he had just laid upon me. I was shocked and utterly disoriented, unable to pull myself together and act with a rational mind. I felt like a leaf, caught in the unpredictable currents of this surreal situation. "What?" he snapped. "Come here." I slowly and reluctantly walked over to his side, my thoughts still swirling with the revelations. When I was close enough, my husband extended his arms towards me. I hesitated, glancing at his outstretched arm. "I won't hurt you, okay? So come here now," he said, annoyance evident in his voice. Biting my lower lip, cheeks burning with embarrassment, I g
The Mafia's Wild Flower Chapter 4
Staring into his stunning blue eyes, which revealed no emotion, I couldn't help but notice his tall, masculine figure—undeniably handsome and attractive. Despite his physical perfection, I hesitated to accept him as my husband. In my dreams, the man who claimed that role held me with warmth and tenderness, his gaze filled with affection. The contrast between those dreams and the current reality was stark.The man in front of me felt distant, his demeanor cold and uninviting. An invisible barrier seemed to separate us, making it hard for me to connect the dream figure with the person standing before me. The discrepancy between the dream's warmth and the real-world chill heightened my confusion and left me questioning the authenticity of this man's claim to be my husband.I must have stood there like an idiot for what felt like an eternity. My gaze was fixed on him, my lips parting and closing like a gaping fish. Describing my state as surprised would be a severe understatement—I was ut

It felt as though the world had turned upside down, my head throbbing painfully as I attempted to recall the events that transpired during my time in a coma. The last tangible memory I could grasp was being in... a dark room.And beyond that point, my recollections became an impenetrable fog, leaving me grappling with the disorienting void that stretched between the past and my current state of consciousness.I gazed at the coffee cradled in my hands, its warmth and the sweet aroma wafting up, stirring a nostalgic feeling within me. Yet, my mind struggled to unravel the threads of memory, unable to pinpoint when or where I had last experienced this sensation. Was this scenario familiar, or was it a moment my consciousness had yet to encounter?“It’s time for your medicine now, ma’am,” Emma said as she handed me the pills that I have been taking for a month. Yes, it has been a month, and up until now I was still pondering what really happened, who am I, and where the hell I am. The onl
The Mafia's Wild Flower Chapter 2
I jolted awake, gasping for breath, my eyes fluttering open to the harsh reality of my bedroom. Sweat trickled down from my forehead, soaking through the sheets as I grappled with the remnants of a haunting dream—a nightmare that lingered in my waking mind. As I lay there, heart racing and senses on high alert, I couldn't shake off the lingering unease that the dream left in its wake. The echo of a distant scream, the shadows that danced malevolently in the corners of my mind—everything felt vivid and disconcerting. I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the remnants of the nightmare. Yet, the tendrils of fear still clung stubbornly, leaving me with an unsettling awareness that the boundary between dreams and reality was thinner than I had ever imagined. "Good morning," a voice suddenly exclaimed, prompting me to turn my gaze towards its source. There stood a woman in her mid-twenties, adorned in what appeared to be a maid's uniform. A tray laden with breakfast delicacies res
