He sat beside her, looking at her beautiful face. Her eyes closed, face up to the sky, feeling the moonlight brigthen her face. It made her glow like ever. She looked like an angel. So innocent, so bright.
And he was that wicked devil looking at her with thirst.
It’s clear that she had no idea, clueless as ever, not knowing who he was. She sat there, enjoying the wind blowing softly on her face. Smiling, feeling the chill.
He looked at her, considering whether to tell her or not. The truth about him.
Then, she opened her eyes, and turned to him, still with that warm smile on her face.
No one, not a single soul in this city could smile that freely to him. They won’t speak to him without fear for their life. When people look at him they would probably have the same question. Does he come to kill them?
She was the only one that look at him with a sincerence, sweet, bright smile. Her brown eyes so beautiful that it stunt him.
She was clearly exhausted. The tiredness in her eyes was so obivous, but it didn’t even lessen her bright smile.
She is so beautiful. Inside and out.
But tonight, he found another hidden emotion in those beautiful orbs.
Pain.
Who possibly hurt this beautiful angel? He will kill them all.
But… will it pain her even more when she found out who he is? When she found out what he do for a living. She lives in the different world than him. She was the light and he was the darkness.
But he want her. Only her. No one else. The more he looked at her, the more he heard her voice, the more obsessed he was with her.
If he can’t have her. No one else can.
He examined her while thinking. How he could possibly trap this innocent angel to be his forever.
He didn’t want to hurt her. But he can’t let her go away.
She spoke to him so excitedly, so innocent, while he arranged this wicked trap in his mind to cage her forever.
Aria walked quickly with her small legs. She sometimes ran to make her steps faster. The streets were empty now and it a bit scary to walk alone in the midnight, which was one of the reasons why she was in a hurry. Another reason was because she didn't want to miss the last bus tonight.BANG!!The loud gunshot made her flinch and immediately froze in place.The sound of gunfire was very clear in her ears, it was not far from where she was standing.Aria didn’t dare to step any further. Her heart was beating faster. It's midnight. In a small town like this, it is possible that there will be criminals everywhere. She always remembers her grandmother's advice. But unfortunately, Aria often ignores her own safety.This is all because of the jobs she is currently doing.The sound of footsteps and yells of several people from inside the alley, which was only a few hundred meters from where she was currently standing, made her widen her eyes and think fast.Hide!Aria quickly hid behind the
Two months later.Aria smiled with relief as she arranged the last pack of flowers that arrived today. She sighed heavily but smiled form on her beautiful face. Finally, she could finally go home.Today was very busy, because many new flowers have arrived. And her job is to arrange these flowers in some beautiful buckets and ready to be arranged according to the customer's order.Sbe really likes this job. She can arrange so many kind of beautiful flowers every day. Even though she sometimes feels tired, but when she stared at those flowers, she felt refresh and ready to continue her work."Dear, can you close the shop for me? Take the key with you, I probably come late tomorrow."Conni, the florist owner approached Aria with her usual warm smile.She nodded and returned her smile."Yes, Mam!" She bopped her head, made Conni laugh amusedly.Conni is the owner of this florist. She is a friendly and very kind woman. Aria had been working with her for a year now, and Conni treated her ve
Aria got back into the car after she finished buying some medicine by showing the doctor's prescription she had brought.She was relieved that grandma's medicine was not too late. Today she has received her salary. She smiled a little.In the car, Alexander just looked at her with unreadable gaze. Making Aria nervous."Thank you for driving me here." She smiled sincerely. Alexander was still looking at her with those black eyes that Aria thought were beautiful but very intimidating.For a few seconds of silence, Alexander just looked at her without responding. Then he moved closer, immediately making Aria freeze on her seat.What will he do? Her eyes widened as she saw him getting closer without looking away.Alexander leaned even more closer, their faces only inches apart. Aria could smell the masculine fragrance from his breath.It turned out that Alexander reached behind her to take her seatbelt and fasten it safely for her.“Hm.” He nodded in a deep voice. He leaned back in his se
Are you home late today?Aria smiled when she saw the message Alex sent her. She touched her phone screen and smiled. This man always sent her the same message every day. As if he really cared.One week passed. Alex had taken her home twice when she worked late at night.That guy is weird. He didn't talk much, very cold and silent. But Aria actually liked to talk to him.“Where do you work? Is it around here?” She asked him in the car. Alex came to pick her up again today.“Yes.”"What is it? A Store? Ey, a handsome and rich man like you, must be the one who owns the store, right?" Aria laughed amusedly."I am handsome?"“Only people with eye problems say you are ugly.” Aria laughed again."You know what, I’m thankful. But there's no need to ride me home every time I come home late. Aren't you busy? I can take the bus.” She said.Alex didn't respond at all. However, Aria didn't feel that this man was at all bothered by her chatter. He just focused on driving and his eyes occasionally
Aria, with a bright and happy smile, came down the stairs of her apartment. The building where she lives is on the third floor. And Aria can go down from the balcony which has an access ladder, down to the side of the building, next to the road.Alexander. The tall, handsome, bulky man, leaned against his car with a long black coat wrapped around his body.Aria looked up at him, "Do you often hear people say that you are really tall?"She giggled and Alex chuckled.He looked at her at some moment and frowned a little."Sorry, I look like a mess." She combed her still-wet hair, smiling with her slightly tinted cheek. Aria wore her favorite pajamas tonight. She felt cold but still not too cold.“You smell good.”The sentence that came out of Alex's mouth made Aria's face immediately turn even redder."I just took a shower, hehe..." Aria smiled broadly, embarrassed."You brought my little notebook?" Aria quickly changed the topic. Why did she decide to go out like this? Very embarrassing
Aria smiled broadly when she saw the man who had always accompanied her lately, walking into the Florist where she worked.And to answer Conni's curiosity, of course Aria introduced her friend to her boss politely.“Conni, this is my friend, Alexander. And Alexander, this is Conni, the loveliest Florist owner ever!" Aria giggled, introduced Conni who looked stiff where she was standing."We met two months ago but he only told me his true identity last night."Conni, who was already pale with fear, smiled slightly at her. "I-Identity?" Conni asked in a squeaky voice. She could barely made her voice out."Identity card!" Aria laughed. "And even though he is old, I don't think that will hinder our friendship." She laughed again. Alexander didn’t change his stare on Aria who now looked very happy when she said that, with his flat gaze."Ah, I see..." Conni tried to look as normal as possible, but she failed right when Alex turned his gaze on her.How could she keep her body from shaking u
“I'll be out of town, tomorrow..”Aria turned her gaze back at him, he had also been staring at her for a long time, trying to read what the beautiful girl in front of him was thinking about."How long?" She asked briefly. For some reason, Aria felt that she would be very lonely if Alex wasn't here anymore. But she won't admit it.Aria was confused about her feelings. Isn't she used to being lonely? Then why did it become more pronounced when she got to know this big guy?"One week." He finally answered her.Her eyes widened slightly. In the next week, she won't meet him like this."After a week, will we go to this cafe again?" Aria asked innocently, blinking her eyes at him rapidly.Alex smirked and nodded his head once. She looked adorable in every way.“You must be very busy. Was your boss the one who sent you out of town?” She asked.Alex stared at her without blinking for a few seconds. That smirk stayed on his handsome face. It amused him that she still didn't have any clue who
“Aria?”Conni shook her shoulder because she looked so lost in her thought in front of the cashier. Aria, who was shocked, immediately apologized.“I am so sorry, I didn't hear what you said, what's that again?”Conni took a deep breath and pursed her lips. This girl, who is usually cheerful and always talks a lot, now became silent and looked gloomy."What is it? Are you in trouble?” Conni asked and sat on the chair next to her.Aria widened her eyes a little and immediately shook her head. She laughed awkwardly.“Eh?What problem? Everything is fine, don't worry. Hehe..." She immediately wrote something in her little book to distract Conni.Of course, Conni wasn't fooled by that, she was even more curious. Because Aria is not that quiet type. Since she knew her more than a year ago. Conni always saw her smile sweetly, spoke cheerfully, and could always change the atmosphere to be more colorful. Even though she was tired, Aria always tried to liven up the atmosphere around her. She is
Hi! Whalien52 is here! First of all, I want to convey my biggest gratitude to all of you my dear readers. Thank you so much, for reading this book until the end, even though it took so long for me to finally finish it. And I am sorry. I know some of you are upset because I suddenly disappeared and took a long time to finish this book. But let me tell you, I was upset with myself too. Not a single day I felt fail and anxious that I didn't finish this as quickly as possible. But being an author part-time and doing other jobs at the same time made me almost not sleep a single wink in a day. But here we are, finally at the end of this book :) Once again thank you so much! Writing is my world and no matter how busy I am, I will always write stories from my unlimited imagination and a beautiful world hidden inside my head :D (I am working hard to finish my other book and write new ones now, so, stay tuned!)Guys, please be happy, healthy, and safe out there. See you at my other books! By
“Himaa!!!” Saoirse screamed in excitement when she saw her beloved pet sitting casually under the stairs.“Himaa!! I miss you, Mommy and Daddy said you could come with us wherever we go now!.” She hugged the big cat's neck tightly.Aria's attention was now diverted to her daughter who was hugging a large, white-striped tiger, that sat lazily on the floor. Saoirse looked so small compared to her pet.Alex found the tiger roaming alone in the forest just behind the mansion when she was only as size as a regular cat. Baby Hima was lost and parted from her family. Turned out that her mother died from a gunshot wound. Alex guessed that they were running from illegal hunters and ended up on his property.He took her home and immediately became the star of their attention. After just hours Alex brought her home, and Aria gave birth to Saoirse.Noah named her Hima, and she became more like a sister to them than a pet. Saoirse often did her makeup and put some cute ribbon on her, and Hima woul
“Why don’t we go back to the mansion and live there? We can play with Nana and I miss Hima...”A five-year-old girl, with chubby, blushing cheeks, said with a pout while folding her arms across her chest. Her eyes were squinted because of the glare of the hot sun shining on the seawater, her small red lips pouted making her even more adorable. Her older brother, who was five years older than her, pinched her cheeks.“Don’t you like the beach?” He asked his little sis who suddenly sat down beside him after playing sandcastle not far from the sunbed where her big brother was.“Hmp! I like it! But I miss Nana and Hima…” She started to sound like she was about to cry. Her brother tried to comfort him, even though it was the hardest thing for him to do because Noah wasn’t an expressive person, just like his father.“Saoirse, you know Nana is very old and it is impossible for her to travel far.” He said softly while stroking his sister’s long, soft hair, “How about I tell Mom to bring Hima
When they reached the third floor of the building, the first thing Aria saw was a hallway with purplish lighting that seemed to be dimmed. This floor was much quieter although she could still hear the sound of music from the rooms that lined each side of the hallway.She and Alex entered one of the rooms. Inside, Aria was thankful that the music wasn't deafening. Instead, it was just the soft strains of the instruments that made her quite relieved.The room was bright and quite spacious. Soft velvet sofas surrounded the sides of the room and teak tables were in front of them. From the design, this was clearly for special guests because all the furniture was luxurious and expensive.“Master Grissham! My Lady!”A man with a beautiful woman quickly stood up and bowed to them. Aria rolled her eyes when she saw how messed up the woman’s dress was. She could almost see her nipples behind that dress. It seemed that they just did naughty things before she and Alex came in.Aria looked at Alex
Alexander wrapped his hands around his wife's waist and gently rubbed her. He sat her down on his lap, facing him, with both of her legs beside his. He licked and sucked her lips, domineering her in this kiss. Telling her how much he wanted her now.Aria, being so little in his arms, felt breathless. She tried to push him away but she was nothing compared to his strength.“Alex…hmmpph!” Aria hit his chest lightly, telling the big, burly man to let go, she couldn’t breathe anymore.When Alex finally parted their lips, he didn’t completely let her go. His lips moved to her chin and neck, kissing her soft skin, repeatedly squeezing her buttocks gently, caressing every inch of her he could reach.“Hh.. Alex… not here…” Aria held back his naughty muscular hand, but her husband’s strength was beyond her control.Alex seemed not to hear her, he remained like a hungry beast. When his hand had reached the inside of her thighs and was stroking what was between them, Aria firmly pushed his hand
“I thought he was just…sick…” Aria whispered to her husband beside her. They had now arrived at a mental hospital in the city. Aria stared at the man sitting across them with frown eyebrows. He seemed to be sorting and checking imaginary documents in front of him.“Hmm… this is okay, it could be our project for next year…” He muttered seriously, opening the invisible pages in his hands.“This is also good, but it needs improvement. I also need to know how much the budget is…” He continued, still with a serious expression.Giovanni sat like he was working like usual, wearing a patient's uniform and a pair of toy glasses that a nurse had given him. He asked her for a pair of glasses and said he couldn't work without them.Apparently, Giovanni thought the nurse was his personal assistant.“Sir, Madam, he is not communicative. He will continue to be like this until it is his time to sleep,” said a nurse who accompanied them in the visiting room.Aria looks at Giovanni Wellbert, the former
Aria, Alexander, and Grandma sat at the dining table in the main dining room of the Grissham Mansion. Even though there were only the three of them, but the room was full of warmth. Alex's cold and intimidating aura was defeated by the warmth that Aria brought to the house. He is a man with an intimidating aura, his tall figure, and bulky, tatted body could make anyone scared. But when it comes to his wife, he could only obey her.Like right now. He had to be home in time because Aria had already cooked for dinner.Alexander certainly didn't want to miss out on his wife's cooking.“Here, eat it, I planted it, especially for your herbal medicine.” Grandma took a single, green leaf from a bowl that Aria had noticed since earlier. She was confused earlier because she didn’t cook that one. Aria immediately frowned when she recognized it.“Grandma….” She immediately complained.“It’s been boiled and given a little spice, it won’t be too bitter.”Aria doubted which papaya leaves were not bi
With his head leaning on the couch, Alexander stared at the high ceiling. In his mind, he saw his mother's sunken face, she looked exhausted and weak. Even though on her body there were no more bruises and wounds like back then, but her weak and sad gaze made him worried. She was sick. And he had to take her away from there.He took a deep breath before continuing, “Those missions, all my work facing the dangerous and tricky situation made me stronger. One day I completed a dangerous mission and the reward was a big deal. After almost seven years I became a slave for my father and tried to get the old Grissham's recognition so that they would treat me and my mother well. I finally gave up. I returned with victory and hoped that my mother and I could go far away from that hell. Starting a new life, a normal one….”But Aria could already guess that what Alex had planned at that time did not go as expected. And she was hardly ready to hear the rest.“I came home after almost three weeks
This time, Aria was silent and Alexander was the one who spoke. Although sometimes there was a pause for a few seconds, Aria patiently waited for her husband to tell the story of his past and family. She understood that Alexander was not as fluent as she was when telling a story. It's just the way he is, Aria thought. Because Alex was a man with a few words and now tried to tell and explain to her about the wounds that he actually wanted to keep hidden forever.They were still in the VVIP room in the hospital. Aria had changed her clothes, she was wearing a short, peach skirt and a simple oversized shirt with the same color as her white shoes. She liked her outfit today and people wouldn't believe her if she said that Alex was the one who chose it for her.Meanwhile, her husband was wearing his signature black t-shirt and trousers. She sat sideways on Alex's thighs, and his husband's hand kept stroking hers. He looked troubled in the first minutes. He opened his mouth but then closed
