When the conference room door opened, everyone turned to face it. Wregan Leath, Primus Armande, and Gludox Portoni, entered the room one by one, the Underground Society's triad and the founder of the Seven Sins Association, to which Luca belongs.
The SSA (Seven Sins Association) is just one of the Underground Society's organizations. The triad, along with Luca and his other friends, were the association's first seven members. They founded the organization to strengthen the Triad's connection and power, particularly Wregan's, who is the first candidate to be the next Underground Society King.
The Seven Sins Association has a slew of new members, including Luca's younger brother Farkas.
"Every time there's a meeting, you three are always the last to arrive," Dean Leath, Wregan's father and current Underground Society king, stated.
"Because we are the sins, Death," Wregan replied to his father before settling into the leather swivel chair that surround
When Luca heard Barnald's report that Mr. Sandoval was causing trouble in his nightclub, he rushed out of his office. That old man couldn't move, and he was now shivering at the thought of putting his fist in Sandoval's face. The staff and guests were still in a commotion when Luca arrived on the main floor. Because of the crowd in front of him, he couldn't see what was going on."What's going on here?" he demanded sternly. When they saw Luca and recognized him, everyone moved to the side."One of the guests is causing the troubles, sir; he dragged someone out. But Mr. Sandoval did not proceed to take the woman because our bartender saw him and stopped him." When Luca heard the staff's explanation, his chest became heavy. One of his girls was forcibly dragged out of the casa. That can't be her, right?The staff hadn't finished the story, when he left to see what was going on ahead. He was surprised to see Carnation on the floor and was helped to sit in the loung
When she heard the doorbell, Carnation dashed down the stairs. She opened the door with a big smile and immediately hugged the man, who also had a big smile."Hi!" She smiled warmly at Wregan and kissed him on the cheeks. He gave her a bouquet of red roses."Hi babe!""You're so early. I haven't fixed myself yet," she said as she hugged her boyfriend's waist. The scent of Wregan's masculine scent causes her to shut her eyes. He smells so good."I can't wait to see you." Wregan pinched her nose causing her to strike the young man in the chest."That hurts!""I'm sorry, you're just too cute; I want to keep you in my pocket. Come on, dress up so we can leave." Today is her rest day, and Wregan and her talked about going on a date."All right, just wait here in the living room.""Can’t I just stay in your room? I'm not gonna peek or maybe...you can let me watch," the young man jokes. Carnation bit her lower lip to stop the sm
Luca stood in the center of the twin grand staircases on a platform. Because the VIP room was all glass, he could see Carnation, who was sitting on his friend's lap, and saw her smile broadly to Wregan."What an eyesore," Luca said, turning to look at the stage where the strip dancers were. But he couldn't help himself and returned his gaze to the couple in the VIP room.His grip on the glass of whiskey tightened as the love birds kissed passionately, his gaze dropped to the exposed thigh of Carnation that Wregan was relentlessly caressing.— damn it! He is f*cking irritated by the view."Do you find the scene irritating, dolt?""If you're only here to ruin my mood. I've seen enough sh*ts! Please bear with me," he exclaimed irritably. Gludox simply laughed at him, taking a cigarette stick in his left hand, sipped a smoke, and exhaled."Why don't you use your authority? You're the boss here. In fact, you had complete control over the woman. Did
"How do you feel?" Luca inquired. They are now inside the Casa de Lujuria, in her boss's office. She had no idea how they got here because when she awoke, she was already lying on the couch in his office's lounge area."My stomach hurts a little, but I'm sure I'll be fine." She raised her eyes to the young man in front of her. "How did you save me from them? And what happened to those men?""Pride was there, he saw what those men did to you, and before I realized what was going on behind me, he intentionally hit the vehicle to stop those f*ckers." Luca cursed while explaining to her. Carnation looked around, searching for Mr. Pride, but there was no one else in the office besides her and her boss."Pride went outside to call your boyfriend if you're looking for him. He also spoke with the hotel security to file a report on what happened." the young man said when he noticed she was looking for Pride. Of course, Primus Armande is the CEO of Seven Sins Luxuri
Carnation was dressed in a hot pink off-the-shoulder maxi dress with a side slit, that Wregan had bought for her to wear to his friend Gregory's party.Their helicopter landed on the helipad of a large house. Carnation was holding the hem of the dress she was wearing. While the young man helped her down the three-step airstair of the helicopter. Carnation's eyes widened as she found the perfect spot to watch the sun slowly kissing the sea's cheek, and it was breathtaking!"It's so nice here," she exclaimed, astounded by the surroundings. She smiled sweetly at Wregan as she looked up at the young man. "Thank you very much! I wouldn't have seen this beautiful view if you hadn't brought me here.""Tsk! Is that really entertaining? There's nothing but the sun and the sea. You're pretty lucky to have a handsome boyfriend like me to see every day!""Wregan..." she scolded, pinching the young man on the side. Wregan burst out laughing, turned to fa
After the crazy confession of his boss. The young man stood up from the sand and left her sitting alone on the shore. Carnation stayed sitting alone on the sand.She took a deep breath to calm herself."What a mess," she said to herself, frowning. Refers to the young man who left her alone."It doesn't matter? Tch! How can it be that it doesn't matter? I had a thing for him. If he were a lady. I'm thinking he's having her period right now!" Carnation snapped out. She recalls her first meeting with the young man. Carnation laughed at herself. Imagine, she threw a shoe at the young man and they end up having something for each other now."It appears that the beauty of a Mauve Carnation Villagracia is unique; even my woman hater boss has a crush on me now." She shakes her head at her own words, but Carnation's eyes widen when she realizes something."Oh, my God!"She got up from sitting on the and ran after the young man who walked out. C
"Didn't you have a date with your boyfriend today?" Carnation looked up from folding clean clothes to see her stepmother serving the lunch she had brought to the small table in the room.“No. Wregan is busy right now. He has a pictorial in Vigan and would probably return to Manila on Monday," she replied politely and resumed folding the clothes."Do you plan on staying here in the hospital?" Carnation nodded in response, her attention still on folding the clothes. "By the way, I spoke with your father's doctor, and he has already given your father permission to return home and continue his treatment there; it's also good for you not to be overweight; we don't have any hospital bills to worry about, only your daddy's medications."Carnation settled her gaze to her stepmother once more, but this time her brow was furrowed. "Can you tell me why he's going home? Daddy would be better off staying here to ensure that someone is monitoring his health; after all,
"Why did you ask for me, Mr. Lust?" Luca turned his attention back to Carnation. Of course, he had a different reason for inviting her to his office. "I know you're in a serious relationship with my friend." He cleared his throat to remove the bitterness in his voice. He should not be bitter. Carnation and Wregan are not to blame for his heartbreak. He was a coward, who did nothing to win Carnation's heart. "Wregan spoke to me, and he wants me to cancel your contract here in Casa de Lujuria. Did he discuss this with you? Do you know about his plan?" Carnation nodded. "Can I then ask you a question?" "What is it?" "I just want to know," he paused. None of his own, Luca clenched a fist under the table. "I don't have the right to ask, but I want to know. Do you perhaps. . .love him?" He swallowed hard, nervous at Carnation's response. Yes, she confessed to him that she had a crush on him. And, he just wants to know her true feelings for Wregan, because a
"I thought you're the one who's gonna pick me up?" Wregan sensed that his girlfriend was sulking. He secretly smiled but immediately wiped it out of his lips. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to finish this immediately. I'll just see you in the house.""Okay.. I understand." Carnation sweetly said but he's sure that his girlfriend is already in a sour mood. Damn, he needs to make it up to her later. "Okay. I'll see you later.""Bye–" he immediately ended the call when he saw Kara with a sales lady. "Here, this is the only thing I saw that can fit her. The stones of the other rings are too AO." The lady presented a beautiful ring in front of him. "I like it. Simple yet perfectly beautiful." He commented that it made his best friend smile. "Just like her, right? That's how detailed you describe her to me.""Yeah.. Just like her." There was a smile on his lips when he answered. "I'm so excited to meet her in person." Kara smiled as she said that. Tonight, Wregan is plannin
Carnation's POV"Hi," Wregan greeted me with a little smile. My grip on the glass of water tightened. "I'm glad that you finally gave up hiding from me." If only I had the strength to be like Captain America I might have broken the glass in my hand with my grip on it so tightly. The thickness of his face, he has the guts to tell me that even though it all started with him."I'm not hiding from you, it's just that my stomach can't handle watching your cheating face in front me," I calmly yet firmly said. I glared back at him. I won't let myself lose to him this time, even though it hurts, I won't let him see my vulnerable state right in front of him. His jaw clenched. "Will you believe me if I'll tell you that nothing happened between me and Kar–""Don't even mention that b*tch's name." His gaze on me sharpened. Seems like he didn't like what I just called the woman he loves. The fuck, it's because of these bastards thag swearing became my hobby. "Nothing happened," he insisted bu
Carnation's POVI lost consciousness due to chest tightness, I had difficulty breathing, and when I woke up it was dawn. I forced myself to get up to go down to the first floor. There I caught up with Wregan sleeping on the long sofa with no top on. I never saw Kara again, no trace of the woman in the whole flat.I sneaked out. I couldn’t stand Wregan’s presence, I just remembered the sh*t that he made last night. I left his condo with only my cellphone and wallet. Opposite the condominium building I hailed a taxi and drove to St. Luke’s, I hung out and ate breakfast at a nearby fast food chain.I no longer care if other customers look at me. How can they not when I am crying while eating? To the extent that my tears have become my rice soup.I stayed in that fast food chain for god knows how long as long as I knew my ass was getting thicker after a few hours of sitting. The staff didn't bother telling me off either so I stayed there first even though I looked like a fool. I
Petunia's POV"KISS! KISS! KISS!" I couldn’t help but roll my eyes because of the screams of the guests. I was even more irritated by the sound of goblets being beaten with utensils. A waiter passed in front of me. I took from its carrying tray a glass of Negroni, a cocktail drink. I took a sip from my drink, and I immediately tasted the delicious mixture of vermouth rosso, campari and gin."Whooa !!" The guests shouted again when the newlyweds accepted their request for a kiss. My jaw clenched and held the negroni glass tightly.The scene was stressing me out! Too painful in the eyes, especially in my heart. Why did I even go to this wedding? Annoyed, I drank the rest of my glass, and when the waiter passed by again, I took another serve of wine."Aren't you going to get drunk with that?" I raised an eyebrow at what I heard. I faced the man who spoke behind me. It was Wregan Leath, a friend of the groom like me. But we are not close to each other, they are in a different c
Wregan's POV"I was surprised to learn that you will be visiting here at home." A beautiful woman approached us. I couldn't help but get a second look at her face. She was like a living Barbie doll talking and walking in front of me. What's her name again? Tilaine? I've heard her name before. If I'm not mistaken she was the woman Luca had a relationship with in New York back then. I was not aware that she was a Doukas. Who is she among the Doukas sisters? I wonder."I'm sorry. It's just that Wregan is insistent, I don't have a choice because this jerk is too stubborn," Kara apologized to her cousin. I, on the other hand, just smiled sheepishly. What will I say?"I see. Daddy is already waiting in his office. Will you all come inside?" Tilaine asked. I still couldn’t help but stare at her beautiful face."No. Only the three of them will come inside to talk to your daddy," Primus replied and pointed at me, Luca and Carnation."Okay. You can come with me, guys." She led the way an
Luca's POVI was bathing on my own barf when I woke up on the couch of a living room. The place is unfamiliar and I can’t remember how I got to this place. This place looks like a condo of someone, but who could it be? I knew no one who could take me to this place, and especially I had no friends at university to take care of a drunk like me."You're awake…"I looked up to see the man, he looks familiar yet I can't remember exactly who he is--wait, I remember. "You were one of those weirdos," I claimed pointing at him. I can't be wrong, he's with the man who always follows me wherever I go. I can't definitely be wrong."If those guys out there you were referring to, yes. I'm one of them. It's hard to accept but those crazy people are my friends." He was referring to the men on the balcony of the unit, they seemed to be arguing."Your friends are crazy….""I know right." He chuckled and sat down on the other end of the couch where I was sitting. "I'm Gregory Zahied. I’m not actual
Sloan’s POV"This is Wregan Leath and Gludox Portoni, my fuck'n bestfriends. They were the ones that I've been telling you about,those guys who were a chick magnet!" I examined the two gorgeous men Primus introduced to me.I first noticed the almost perfect face of the man he called Wregan. Like me, he's absolutely tall, but I’m sure I’m a few centimeters taller than him. He has eyes like fox and tiger, fierce, sharp and seems to be hiding a lot of things but it also looks full of pleasure when its eyes sparkle. His nose was a perfect shape with a small mole on the lower end. I won’t be surprised if it’s true that he's considered a casanova. It's already obvious in his presence. I then looked at the man Primus called Gludox. Its skin is so white that it seems to have beaten snow white to whiteness; it is a little shorter than Wregan and I, but Primus is still shorter than this man. It has a charming cat-like appearance but is unreliable. His cuteness is like something cute but d
Carnation’s POV"Are you sure?" Samantha asked when I declined her offer to take me to the bus station.“No, I'm still going to the library. I have to borrow books for my report on Friday,” I explained and smiled at him.She frowned and forced herself to nod. "Alright, but tomorrow, we'll be the one to drive you home okay? Take care on your way, you know perverts nowadays are lurking around!" I nodded and waved at her. She went inside her service car and waved at me through the window. I went back to the school building to go to the library. I actually have a report on Friday and I need some materials to use. I was at the library for a while, I just borrowed books and then went home."Seems like it's about to rain," I said to myself and looked up at the sky. I just hope the rain won't continue to come because I don't have an umbrella to use. I took a deep breath before quickly running towards gate 2 of the school, because it was closer to the bus stop if I took that route. I only tak
“I really like this place. How old is this house? ” he asked and looked around the cave house. Luca and I had just returned from the Philippines after their honeymoon in Istanbul and Georgia, and here they immediately went straight to its cave house in Cagayan Valley.“7 years? I did this after I built my house in Luzon. You want wine? ” He nodded in response to its question. It was in the kitchen and he was in the living room looking at the paintings on the wall. The husband tells him it sold the paintings at an underground auction."It's been a long time," he commented and faced the biggest picture. He suddenly remembered that the tank of one of Luca's pet snakes was hidden behind the picture. With full courage, he approached the painting and pressed the button there to see the cage."Who took care of him when you were in New York?" he
