Hissing in pain, Mariana scolded herself for being distracted by Stephan. She should have known that he wouldn't reply. An arrogant bastard.
She washed her hand under the tap when it stopped bleeding, she proceeded with her cooking.
Thirty might later, Mariana spat out the burnt eggs in her mouth, she rushed to the tap to rinse her mouth. In the end, she boiled eggs before going to bed. Before sleeping off, she couldn't help but worry about her dad, it's so strange of him to turn off his phone. He only does that when he's on an important mission.
Mariana curled herself in a ball on the bed. Though she has never mentioned it to her father, she hated it when he goes out on a mission. She fears that he would never return to her. That he might leave her alone in this world and his enemies will torture her to death.
Mariana does not have a mother, she pretends she doesn't need one, truth is she actually yearns for motherly love at times. Accordin
Mariana peeked around and had no sight of him. He should be asleep. This is the only chance she had. A chance to run away from him. She can't stand his sight anymore.She took her steps silently towards the main exit, hands placed on the doorknob.Click!The doorknob sounded.She bit on her lips, looked around as if he heard the sound but none.Mariana sighed a relief breath and continued with her escape plan. Her heart was beating so fast like it was going to fall off her rib cage.The door opened, she smirked to herself. Finally! She has succeeded. All she needed to do was to leave this vicinity, then she would think of where to go from there. She doesn't even have cash on her, but it doesn't matter, so long as she's far away from this perverted devil!Suddenly, chills ran down her back. She stiffened. Why does it feel like someone is watching her? However, she didn't dare to look back. She walked out of the hous
Around 3 pm!KnockKnock!Stephan pounded on the door for the umpteen time, wondering why she hadn't come down to eat. From what he understands about her nature, she should be hungry by now. What is she doing?Meanwhile, Mariana hid under the bedsheet seriously reading the blog which was titled: Causes of dominating personalities.'Some controlling personalities are caused by personality disorder. An unhealthy mindset from childhood also contributes to cold temperaments such as narcissism and antisocial personality disorder, which are associated with lack of empathy and bad tempers.'She didn't realize someone has entered her room until he took the covers off her head.Shocked, Mariana quickly closed the laptop, lifted her head to glare at him. “You see, the door isn't for fancy. It's meant for knocking if you don't know.”Looking at her sneaky look, Stephan lifted his brow. “I knocked, seein
“Don't… I said, don't come closer, you bastard!” Mariana yelled.He snorted, but still moved closer. He pressed her against the wall, hands gripping her neck.“You brought this upon yourself Mariana. You shouldn't have done what you did back there. Now, you will remain here for the next three months until I send you back to your father. Your stay isn't for free either. You will serve me with your body.”“Oh, this is my fault now? Who used me in the first place?” She wanted to say, instead, she glared at him. “In your f*cking dreams!”..∆∆ Hours Earlier ∆∆No! This can't be happening! Why would such a thing happen today of all day? Mariana thought to herself as she paced about in her room. What should she do?As the daughter of a Mafia Leader, having a boyfriend who is not approved by her father is a crime. Yet, she's been dating someone secretly for two years, not just any guy but a poor guy who works at a library downtown to make a living. If her fat
Although Mariana was confident that she could make it out, she's been sneaking out of the house for the past two years. Still, her heart couldn't help but thump profusely. She kept praying to all things holy, so her plan will be successful.Soon, she arrived at the stairway. She smiled at the guards blocking the way. “Hey, want to go grab something from the kitchen, do you want anything? A cup of water?”Her looks dumbfounded the guard, he shook his head while the other parted way for her. He knew this was his master's daughter, he can't stop her from getting a cup of water, right?“Alright then, enjoy your evening.” Mariana let out the breath she was holding and continued on her way.After several turns, Mariana could see the backyard gate. ' Just a little more' she thought with a grin on her face.However, the smile didn't last long on her face. Just when she's about to open the gate, someone grabbed her hand.
“What… What did you just say?” Carlson asked in a daze. The guards notified him the moment she stepped out of the room. He left his guest in a haste to find her because he knows his daughter would do something stupid and embarrass him. He never thought she would invite her boyfriend over here to save her. However, looking at the young man beside his daughter, his brows couldn't help but crease slightly. Why does he look familiar?At this moment, Mariana wasn't thinking about the consequences. The only thing on her mind was to say that he's her fiancé. Since Stephan is using her to ditch his lover then, why can't she use him to ruin her father's plans of marrying her off to some random stranger?After a few weeks, she would tell her father that Stephan has broken off the engagement then she would find a good time to tell him about her boyfriend, Josh.Seeing that this could work, she continued with her acting. She grabbed Stephan's
After much urging, her father pushed Mariana out of the room. It filled her eyes with unwillingness and resentment, but she tried to cover it up with shyness. How will her father suggest such a kind of thing? Living with a stranger? For how long? She could feel Stephan's icy glare behind her as she left, causing a shiver to run down her back. Will he let her stay with him? When she was lying, she hoped she would get away with it. Who would have thought that her dad will make such a suggestion? The maids helped her pack up her bags. A few minutes later Stephan walked out of the house, took her bag to the car while her dad pulled her into a hug. “I can't believe you have grown up,” he kissed her forehead and said, “Let me know if he doesn't treat you well, okay? Although I'm sure he will, Stephan loves you a lot.” Yeah, right. Mariana snorted. “I will miss you, old man.” Minutes later, she was seated in Stephan's black, luxurious Ben
Stephan directly went to his study to make some international calls. Around 1 am, he went to take his bath. Just when he took off his clothes, someone barged into his suite. The first thought that came into his mind was his gun. He knows no one in his home will dare come into his room unannounced. He understood his mansion was under attack. As a Mafia, he has experienced such kind of thing. Just when he was about to pull the trigger, he realized it wasn't an attack from gang members, but a certain person he wanted to avoid seeing that walked in. His eyes darkened. Mariana. His visage was becoming gloomy as she stared at him. In his entire life, no one has ever humiliated him. He did, however, find it very fascinating to be seen by her. He did not know if something was wrong with his brain. This is a girl who is trying to get his attention, she has motives for using him back then. “Seen enough?” he growled. He noticed a faint blush on her face,
“Look, Stephan...” “Don't… now is not the right time." Jeez, can't he see she's naked and not convenient to talk? “ I said, don't come closer, you bastard!” Mariana yelled. He snorted, but still moved closer. He pressed her against the wall, hands gripping her neck. “You brought this upon yourself Mariana. You shouldn't have done what you did back there at your father's house. Now, you will remain here for the next three months until I decided to send you back to your father.” “Wait, what?” Mariana frowned. Did he just say that? Stephan pulled out the pillow between them. The cold air hit Mariana's bare chest causing her to gasp. Stephan leaned towards her ears, his large hand grabbed her plumb rounded breast. “Your stay isn't for free either,” he whispered. “You will serve me with your body till I get tired of you.” he inhaled her scent and moaned silently. For some reason, his inner beast likes her scent very well. “Oh,
