"Are you okay?" Carnation blinked several times in response to her fiancé's question. She looked up from her meal to see Wregan.
"Y-yes, why do you ask?"
"You've been like that since last night. You're just quiet and don't talk. Is there a problem?" Carnation knew Wregan had noticed her sudden silence the night before, but the young man only now dared to ask. He was definitely just waiting for her to say it, but he couldn't take it any longer.
Carnation took a deep breath. "I'm fine. Maybe I'm just tired, I've been taking care of daddy all day," she reasoned and the young man nodded at her immediately.
"How's your dad?"
"He's getting better and better. Thanks to you, Wregan." She smiled at her fiancé but the young man just stared at her earnestly.
"Why? Is there dirt on my face?" The young man shook his head in response and then smiled at her.
"Let's visit your dad tomorrow. I didn't see him yesterday when I picked you up," Wre
"Carnation, right?" Carnation is nervous, but she handles to force a smile on Wregan's mother, but damn, she can feel her lips trembling at that smile. "Yes, Ma'am," she replied politely to the lady. Where is Wregan? Why his not here, yet? She is terrified of facing Wregan's mother alone! "I'm Francoise Leath, Wregan's mother," the lady said, Carnation's chest is trembling as if it was about to burst out through her ribcage. Carnation swallowed forcefully. This woman in front of her was her fiancé's mother. She's stunningly beautiful and elegant, but also terrifying. "I-I'm very pleased to meet you, Ma'am," Wregan's mother did not response. It just stared at her as if Carnation's soul was being examined. Carnation couldn't help but be terrified. The lady's stare at her is terrifying, damn. Where's Wregan now? Carnation didn't know how long she could put up with the lady on her own. "Come in..." Later, Wregan's mother invited her inside the massive man
Wregan's mother informed them at dinner that her Wregan's father would be unable to attend. According to the lady, it has an urgent meeting to attend. It was so unexpected that it didn't immediately notify the lady, so only the four of them ate at the large dining table. Carnation sat beside her fiance, the young man's mother sat in front, to Wregan's left, and Kara sat alone on the opposite side of the dining table, directly in front of Wregan. "Doesn't Brian still plan to visit the Philippines?" the lady questioned as the four of them ate. "I'm not sure, Tita. Dad and I never talk as much as we used to. Dad is not the same after what happened to the twins. He's distinct. ” Wregan's mother smiled and nodded. "I see; he's still haunted by what happened to your siblings." "What happened was extremely difficult to accept, Tita. They simply vanished without a trace. " Carnation frowned at her fiancé. She had no idea what the two were talking about,
"What do you mean you're the legal son?" Wren's words made Carnation's heart stop beating. Wren had called her fiancé a bastard, but she didn't think that was what he meant. "Unfortunately, Wregan's mother is my father's mistress." Wren took a deep breath. “They had an affair and things happened and. . .boom! There was Wregan, who was born behind my mom's back." Wren tells the story between chuckles. Carnation isn't sure if Wren is serious about what he said because it appears that Wren doesn't care that his daddy cheated on his mommy, and it seems that the young man isn't sharing his family's story because he speaks so casually and coolly. "I didn't know how my dad managed to hide his other family. Just when mommy found out about Wregan's mommy. The kid is almost five." Wren started the car because the traffic light turned green. "Imagine! My bastard brother, Wregan, and I were two years apart when mommy found out about Fran. Dad's a legend!" Carnation was a
Carnation was restless, she was walking around the living area of Wregan's flat. It's now 1 a.m., and her fiance has still not returned home yet. Is it possible that he spent the night at his parents' house? She couldn't reach Wregan's phone number no matter what she tried. She was extremely worried about Wregan. Wren says Wregan can't go home right now because of what happened earlier. Perhaps Wregan was trapped in his parents' mansion and his mother refused to let him go home to her. Carnation was still uncomfortable, and she couldn't sleep no matter what Wren told her. Something is wrong. . . Carnation sat on the single-seater couch. She turned on the TV to pass the time while waiting, but she couldn't understand what she was watching, so she turned it off and stood up. She went to the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator for something to eat because she was suddenly hungry. She only saw leftover pizza, which was his fiance's favorite. Carnation heated and tos
I'm finding ways to express the feelings I'm having, but I can't say, I don't love you. Because I love you, yeah ~ It's difficult for me to express my feelings, but I'm going to let you know tonight. Let me tell you the truth, girl ~ The time and distance that separates us. It will never change my mind, because baby girl, I'd die for you ~ Luca massaged the nape of his neck when he felt nausea. He closed his eyes and gripped the rum glass tightly as he continued to listen to the song 'he didn't know why he was listening.' I try to think of a reason to keep us apart. But I'm afraid that I'll miss you. Finding out how to manipulate this feeling I'm going through, but I'm not holding it against you. ~ Maybe he's crazy to feel like this. It's been a few weeks since he left the Philippines but this, he's drowning even more in an insane feeling. He didn't want to admit it, but he wanted to go back. . . He wanted t
“Here you are.” When he heard Samantha's voice, Luca closed his eyes tightly to calm himself. Why don't the ladies keep his night quiet? They continue to follow him around wherever he goes. He's already displeased with their presence. Why are they bothering him? He turned to face Samantha, and looked straight in the eyes. "What now?" Luca barked. "Are you trying to irritate me? Please Sam, not now. I'm not in the mood for your antics," He spoke openly to his stepmother. "Duh! You're so mean to me, stepson; why can't you just be friends with me?" Samantha approached him and placed her hand on the railings. "Leave me alone," he said obstinately, turning to face the illuminated buildings of New York City once more. “Nope. Never. By the way, do you remember my friend? The model? She's here. " "I don't care," he stated grudgingly to Samantha. So what, if her friend is here? What does Samantha want to be her friend’s entertainer? Samantha keeps intr
Two months later. . . . "Hey, no jokes, I can do it!" Tilaine insisted, pouting at Luca. "You want me to show you?" she said, challenging him. The quiet living of the Lindenhurst mansion was filled with Luca's laughter. He can't help but laugh at the woman's cuteness when she's annoyed. "All right, show me next time when we get back to the Philippines," he replied, still laughing. "You're irritating! I said I could do it! When I win the race, you'll eat what you said!" "I'll eat you instead," Luca said, causing Tilaine's eyes to widen. She hit him on the shoulder for too much embarrassment, and he just laughed at the woman. "Pervert! You really have a dirty mouth, Luca Lindenhurst!" Tilaine growled at him, her cheeks were flushed. Luca was even more pleased with Tilaine's expression. He really enjoys teasing her because of her cute expression. Tilaine truly resembles a doll. She has a baby face with big brown eyes, and he
If Luca used to spend all of his time at work and at home, his daily activities now include dating his sweetheart Tilaine Doukas. The woman is the daughter of a well-known composer and music producer Xander Clay Doukas, and one of the seven grandchildren of the Underground Society's founder, Senior Klimt True Knight dela Vega. Of course, Tilainel was unaware of her late grandfather's previous life, and Luca had no intention of informing her. Even his membership in the organization is something he intends to keep hidden from her. Tilaine is kind and friendly, like the woman's father, Luca sees her talent in the field of music. He had heard her sing once and he was really impressed by her angelic voice. He'd heard her sing before and was blown away by her angelic voice. He asked her why she chose to be a model despite the fact that she was better at music. Tilaine responded, "There is no model in our family yet, I just want to be different," and then she laughed.
"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
