CHAPTER 1
“Dinner at the house tonight. And by the way, Uncle will be fetching you after school, dad said so,” my youngest sister coldly said from the phone. And before I could say something, she hung up the call. When I looked at the clock inside our classroom, it pointed at 7 o’clock just in time and the bell rang. Even when the instructor hadn't finished yet with her discussion, everyone stood up and grabbed their stuff to leave. She had a disappointing look on her face. I also stood up, grabbed my stuff as my mind went blank. I didn’t know what I should do when my uncle gets here. Usually, in a situation like this, I would have planned something to keep my composure firm, but when it comes to him, my fear becomes dominant and afterwards, I wouldn’t know what to do. Up until now, I still couldn’t find the courage to face him after all what he did to me. I left the room without saying anything to our instructor like I always do. I went to the bathroom’s direction, but before I could reac

“Deira?” Someone called my name and when I raised my head, the guy I was looking at earlier was now in front of me. “Uh… Yes?” I responded, confused. He offered me a hand shake. “Hi, I’m Lurcos, watashi wa kyo no anata no service desu, ouju,” he said, which means ‘I am your service for today, princess’. I was immediately convinced. His Japanese is terrible, but manageable. “Daijoubu desu,” I replied, which means ‘okay’ and accepted his hand. He then helped me stand up and gently grabbed my backpack. My heart silently celebrated with the fact that it’s not my uncle and just a random stranger who fetched me up. I don’t care whoever he is, as long as it’s not the guy I hated most in this world. Though he looks a little scary, with the way he looks overall and that gun on his waist. But, I admit, he looks cute when he smiles. “He’s the guy. And believe me, I’ve never seen him before,” I mouthed to Dell so he won’t hear. He’s still not letting go of my hand. She just gave me a sly s

“Uhm… Just curious, how exactly are you related to dad?”“We’re business partners. I’m one of your company’s investors. I’m just actually your new investor, I started investing two or three months ago and hell, I already started earning. Your family’s business is pretty much in demand in the market, huh.”I forcedly nodded and smiled. He probably meant about the dirty businesses of my family. My dad and two brothers facilitate the family’s gun trafficking business. Not just guns, all kinds of war equipment are being distributed by my family in different parts of Asia and Europe. My father is a general, my brothers also hold higher titles in the military so they know a lot of stuff about wars. Our main customers are the criminals and even the governments.On the other hand, my mom is a pharmacist and my two other sisters are both doctors. They ran the family’s huge pharmaceutical company and our personally owned hospitals in different parts of the country. These two businesses of ours

I wake up from the loud knocking on my door. I forced myself to stand up. I could barely open my eyes. I put on my slippers and walked towards the door.The mayordoma or the head of the maids in our house greeted me.“Good morning, Princess. A special visitor paid a visit and your father said that you need to dress decently right now and join them for breakfast,” she said in a British accent.“Do I really need to be there?”“Your father said yes. The visitor is here for you, actually.”My brow crossed as I got confused. I don’t remember inviting anyone over to our house. Who could possibly it be?“Okay, I’ll be downstairs in twenty minutes.”“Certainly! Take your time, Princess” she said before leaving and I shut the door.I face-palmed before going to the bathroom to wash my face. I then fixed myself. I put on a blue below-the-knee off-shoulder dress and flat sandals before going out.Our house is huge while there’s only seven of us living here. In fact, a hundred people could fit in

I guess I hurted his ego 'cause when I got out of my walk-in closet, all my mini action figures were scattered on the floor.I shook my head in dismay. “What a shameless childish bastard.”I started picking up the figures until I saw the crocheted flowers Lurcos gave me also scattered on the floor. And that's when my blood boiled even more. The audacity! I fucking hate him!I picked up the flowers, cleaned it and placed it back to the window.After cleaning, I put on light makeup to make myself look more presentable. I wore a green knee-length backless dress and paired it with 3-inch white heels. I also wore my favorite crocheted white cardigan.I put on my handbag with only a phone, wallet, and a penknife inside. Better be safe especially that I'll be going with a scumbag with anger issues.I then got out of my room and went downstairs. I saw him, smiling while talking to my dad. He’s a good actor, huh. Wait until he sees me with my acting skills.I plastered a sweet smile on my lips

When he got inside, he immediately took a tight grip of my hand. And although it hurts me a little, I gave him a deadly stare, as if threatening that if he doesn’t let go, something bad is going to happen. “You don’t question my choices! You can never do better than me,” he put emphasis on every word. I leaned closer to him. “If you don’t want to, you should shut your mouth. And please, you’re not even that better. I could do nothing and yet I would still be better than you,” I also put emphasis on every word before pulling back my hand. I gave him my sweet smile. “Where are we going next, honey?” I asked full of sarcasm. He gave me his deadly look before turning his face in front and started the engine. I do not intend to push him to his limit, but if he keeps insulting me, I would never let him be satisfied. He's someone not worth having an argument with, but his arrogance is getting into my nerves. After a few minutes of silence, he suddenly spoke. “Wanna know the real reason

“Well, I’m overwhelmed that you feel that way. And it simply means that even if you barely knew a person, you two could still be good friends together,” he replied. “And I bet, you’re probably happy by now if I am the one you are with.”How I wish it was just him, too.“Anyways, did you try on the suits you bought last night?”“Yup, and they fit just enough for my size. You are good at body estimation.”“You know what, I think it would be more appealing if you’re going to like braiding your hair or something to make you look clean to look at.”“Princess, it’s my hair that makes me look appealing. But, if you say so, you better be the one to fix my hair on that day. I trust your taste more than my personal hairdresser.”I rested my head on my seat and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe I could still feel the calmness amidst this so-unfortunate day of my life. Where was this kind of man at when I needed someone like him before?! But, I still do need to be careful with him. He may be ni

My phone beeps, indicating that there's a new notification. And when I looked at it, it was a message from mom.:You two will be visiting a real estate agent who is a great friend of your fiancé after your visit to the wedding organizer. You certainly need a place to stay after marriage.And that's it, one more reason to ruin this day for me.When I peeked on the window near the driver’s seat, I saw Sebastian walking towards his car.“Oh, he’s here. We need to go. I’ll talk to you later, ‘kay? Thank you once more for the treat and the chit chat,” I said.“Thank you for your time, too. It was fun talking with you. Bye.”“Bye,” I then hung up the call and waited for Sebastian to get inside.I then plastered my obviously sarcastic smile. This man doesn't deserve to see my sweet and genuine smile. He had me waiting for him for more than half an hour.When he got inside the car, he was rather silent and he had this angry look on his face. Probably not a good time to tell him what he just d

We heard a sudden loud music from the neighborhood as if there was a party going on. It’s broad daylight, why do people do parties at this time of the day?!I turned to the man. “I’ll be saying sorry in advance. There’s always a party going on with one of your future neighbors. But, you don’t have to worry much since your soon-to-be house is sound proof,” he assured us.I smiled, indicating that it’s fine with me. “We will be heading on our way out now,” I bid my goodbye to the man while Sebastian went into his car without saying anything.“Can’t wait to see you two move over here,” the man said, smiling.“We’ll see,” I replied and followed Sebastian to the car. He then maneuvered the car without saying anything.We were both silent throughout our journey. I didn’t bother asking him where we are heading ‘cause he’s obviously not in the mood.After a few more minutes, we are now passing by a familiar surrounding. I’m pretty sure this was the same area we passed by when we headed to the

When he got into the car, he maneuvered the car and went at full speed. We almost hit some of the cars along us, but the bastard didn’t seem to mind what he’s doing. My heart went racing every time we almost hit a car. But, I didn’t let him know that I felt a little scared for my life. Until he finally stopped the car in front of an unfamiliar area. I know he is up to something bad for me right now. I felt a short relief when I saw that we are not in a secluded place or something like that. I could still see people and cars passing by and I saw stores around. If he does something stupid, I could easily ask for help. After he unbuckled his seatbelt, without a warning, he grabbed my other wrist and took a tight grip on it. My face grimaced as I felt the electrifying pain from my wrist up to my arm. Shit! He’s really up to something bad. “What the heck?! Let go of me!” I shouted as I tried to pull back my hand with all my force, but it didn’t bother him. This man is an absolute abus
