Loan Sharks

“The loan sharks are here again. They are probably headed to the Asmodeus family’s apartment.”I felt my heart skip a beat after hearing those words with my family surname included. I immediately ran as quickly as I could towards our place. It was rather shocking news to hear about them going on a rampage again after a few months of absence. Fuck! I even wished for them to be killed by someone so they would never come back here again! They shouldn’t have come back. I just finished working as a marketing strategist at a small firm when I heard about them harassing my family again. I didn’t expect that the loan sharks would come back to our place when I almost paid all of our debt. I had been working my ass off just to pay grandpa’s debt to avoid this incident from happening, but still, it happened. I grind my teeth in irritation. Upon arrival, I saw my father lying on the floor while taking all the punches a man was throwing at him. I looked around and saw that our place wasn’t in

Bryce’s Offer

RANLEIGH“Are you fucking kidding me?” I shouted in horror after hearing Bryce talk about something horrifying. Well, truthfully, I didn’t expect that he would actually consider his old man’s nerve-racking suggestion. He even planned to take it in action and I couldn’t help but complain. Like hell! It even gave me goosebumps.Isn’t it scary to hear from someone from a noble household to offer a marriage to a commoner? And Bryce, this fuckard, was indifferent while saying that.Bryce just offered a marriage like he is just inviting someone over for dinner. Well, I understand that he was offering a marriage out of convenience but we just met and I am just another normal citizen of this country. What could I possibly do to help him with his ex? That’s why I couldn’t help but shout at him to wake him up from his delusions. Anyway, who would want to marry a man who continually harassed his bride’s family the past few months anyway, right?! Who was insane enough to do that?I took a deep b

Resignation Letter

RANLEIGHI sighed for the fourth time while staring at my computer. I haven’t done anything yet and I am still stuck with the planning. For fuck’s sake! I am so distracted about what happened the day before yesterday and it kept on bugging my mind. The fuckard just kept on bugging my mind and it’s affecting my work. Damn! This isn’t me and him having this effect on me is disturbing enough. Seriously, this has to stop. I got my phone out of my sling bag and stared at his calling card which I almost threw earlier. I had to get him out of my mind. Maybe texting him will help? I laughed. Crazy. Of course it won’t help, dumb idiot. I groaned and pushed my phone and the calling card on my table far enough for me not to reach it. I was playing with a pen in my hand while looking outside the window, trying to remember when was the last time I relaxed like this. I had been working my butt off after hearing about granpa’s debt. Seriously, it was dumb of me to join an org in the underworld,

Rules

RANLEIGH“What the hell did you just call me?” the driver irritatedly asked.“Doggy? I guess?”The man laughed sarcastically. “I am Bryce’s right hand, the second in position next to the boss. I am not just anyone, Miss. Asmodeus. More especially, I am not someone's dog, I am from a powerful household.” The man fixed his tuxedo. “So if you’re just using the young master for your gain, I suggest you stop. That is if you still treasure your life. As you can see, we could kill you mercilessly, Miss. Asmodeus.”I widened my eyes, acting as if I was shocked by the news. I looked at the man and bit my lower lip, stopping myself from laughing. They once almost killed my father by beating him up nonstop. Do they really think that I would never think that they could kill and that they wouldn’t harm me? And rumors about them going on a rampage once in a while was all over the place. “Oh really?” I asked. I didn’t care about them harming me, really. And I knew Bryce even before the loan sharks s

The Underworld

RANLEIGHAfter Bryce left, a maid guided me to my room that was prepared especially for me — that was at least what the maid said. It is on the second floor of the mansion and it is nerve-wracking to memorize every turn we made on our way to my room. The mansion is so big and there are so many hallways. I couldn’t memorize the way out of the mansion at all. Hell. It even looks like a palace. After arriving, I thanked the maid and smiled at her. The maid just bowed her head. “I’ll prepare your bath, my lady. Please excuse me.”I nodded my head and cued the maid to get out of the room. Without looking back, the maid got out of the room as if in a hurry.I sighed and slumped my body on the bed. I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling that was carved with ancient designs. Prepare my bath? What do they think of me? An idiot who couldn’t even prepare the bath for myself?I shook my head. This life is just too different from my life outside the Marquisate and it isn’t for me at all.

The Young Lady of the Greens

RANLEIGHBryce lifted me out of the bed and walked near the door. He stared at me and cleared his throat. “You’re so stiff, woman. If you’re awake, open your eyes and walk with your own feet,” he stated.I cleared my throat in embarrassment and laughed awkwardly. Bryce gently put me down. “Everyone was busy fighting for their life, while you’re just sleeping there quietly. I’m quite amazed with your courage but that's risky, woman,” Bryce said with a blank expression.I chuckled. “I didn’t know that a fight arose inside your hacienda. You said that I should wait for you and I did. But it was taking you so long that I fell asleep while waiting,” I explained while looking at his eyes. I didn’t bat an eye nor did he. He just stared at me like he was reading my mind through my eyes. “Anyway… Is it just me, or are you worried about me?” I asked. Bryce remained silent. I couldn’t help but feel curious about what Bryce was thinking at the moment. If Bryce was doubting me or if he thinks th

Main House

RANLEIGH“If you’re going to lie, Your Excellency, please try controlling your expression. You're making it obvious that you are still head-over-heels with the lady,” I said. I scratched my head and laughed awkwardly. “You often wear a blank expression but that hard stoic face becomes soft every time you’ll mention her name. You’re being obvious, Sir,” I added.Bryce furrowed his brows. “What happened to Mr. Vergara? Why are you calling me more formally now?” he asked, totally ignoring what I just said.I cleared my throat and avoided his eyes. I will never admit that I am starting to draw a line between us. I knew that Bryce would ask me why and I don’t know how to dodge that question without telling him the truth. And hell! I will never admit that I am attracted to him and if he continues being nice to me, I’m afraid that I might really end up falling in love with him. I thought that he was an awful person based on how he acted the first time we met and the second until the third. Th

Changes

RANLEIGH“Where the fuck are you?” I moved my phone away from my ears and frowned. “Your voice is so fucking loud, Dior,” I cursed between my breath. “Fuck you!” she shouted. I laughed when I imagined her rolling her eyes. “I came to your company to visit and check on you and guess what?” she asked. “You weren’t there, Leigh! And Gab? He looked like a pup who just got abandoned,” Dior shouted dramatically. “You heartless woman, where did you go and why did you resign? Was it true that you are engaged with someone? Who’s the fucking guy? Is he hot?” I shook my head and ended the call. She’s too loud. She needs to calm down while I need peace of mind. I took a deep breath before looking around my room and I couldn’t help but notice that the room is bigger than the one at the previous house. The whole room is the size of my family’s apartment. It was divided into four rooms. The things are also completed from the receiving area inside my room mainly for the visitors, to the counter an

Scars

RANLEIGH“The lady needs to know the basic etiquettes so the Marquess’ name won’t be put in jeopardy,” a maid whispered. I slightly opened my eyes and looked at her. She was combing her hair gently with a soft expression.The other maid groaned in annoyance. She was more hostile than the first. “Why do I have to serve such a woman? My parents didn’t raise me for this!” she yelledI slowly opened my eyes and stared at the two. They were very well dressed for a maid and elegance could be seen from the way they talked. I grinned. I wished to see more of these noble’s distorted faces after seeing a commoner reign higher than them. A commoner who they looked down could fly higher than they ever could. It would be fantastic to see their disappointed and enraged faces. But it would be more fantastic to see my grandmother’s face filled with rage. I got up and stretched my arms. A good sunny morning for me should be a hell to the two ladies.I smiled as I walked towards the two. It is really

Wronged

THIRD PERSON POV“Don’t you feel sorry for Lady Ranleigh at all, Bryce?” Sheldon asked. Bryce tilted his head and chuckled. “Why would I?” he asked while his eyes were still on his phone.Sheldon sighed and looked outside the window. Yeah, why would he? It was Sheldon who slapped Ranleigh’s face under Bryce’s command. Every time Sheldon recall Ranleigh’s empty eyes after that incident was making him regretful. It is ridiculous to regret something that you intended to do but he is still ashamed of their actions. And he knows that it is wrong to act based on what they saw without knowing the backstory. They had the time to ask what happened but they didn’t. And now, it is making him feel guilty. “We’ve wronged her, Bryce.”“She should have stood up for herself if she wanted. It’s her fault that she didn’t try explaining,” Bryce coldly retorted. “I have no ground for a conscience that wasn’t mine to keep in the first place, Sheldon. You know that I had long ago forgotten how to be compun
