PIETROEyes were on my car when we drove into the venue. I haven’t shown myself yet, but we are already stealing the people’s attention. Who wouldn’t look at the car that I brought. It was the cheapest car that ever drove in to the venue as if we were a joke. When people saw us coming, they stared at us with ridicule then left disinterested. They must have thought that we were just a bunch of nobodies who weren’t informed that rich guys were occupying the area and we aren’t allowed here.They had no idea that the man they were waiting for, the host of the party is inside the vehicle. Pericles and I had no time to change cars. We left in haste and drove directly towards the venue as soon as Pericles had arrived to help me tend with my wounds. We were racing with time that we both never thought we would be so lucky to even arrive at the venue thirty minutes ahead of time.We were just hoping that we will arrive at the venue on time at best, but I guess I shouldn’t have underestimated

LUCREZIAI watched as my father talked to Pietro. My grip on my champagne tightened as I observed the exchange between them. Even with this great distance between us, I could tell that father is giving Pietro a hard time. I don’t know if I should feel amuse or if I should feel bad about Pietro. I know how hard my father can be. I inherited that trait from him.Even though Pietro is more powerful than my father, it doesn’t stop him from pushing his buttons. My father loves to poke sticks on sleeping tigers. I sashayed towards them, to put their delightful conversation into a stop. I’m also curious about what they were talking about even though I know that they wouldn’t let me into their conversation.I slowed down when I have arrived at enough distance towards them. I was planning to hear some of their conversation, but I already arrived too late.The two is now done talking and they are having a staring contest instead. I could even feel the tension between them from this distance.

PIETROI am lying on the bed, watching TV as my body takes its time to heal. I don’t know how long it has been since I’ve fully rested like this, wasting away time, doing nothing. I’ve never been this unproductive in my whole life. Because of my injury, I was required to have a full bed rest. I couldn’t do anything but watch tv, scroll down my phone and stay on bed.Pericles was strict on making sure that I do anything else but work. Besides, I really couldn’t get out of bed even if I wanted to. Small movements causes sharp pain in my wound. I really have no choice but to stay on bed until my wound heals enough for me to move around. The doctor said that my wound wouldn’t have grown this serious if I didn’t pushed my body too much. If I didn’t forced myself to go to that engagement party, my body wouldn’t have to suffer so much damage.Aside from that, I wasn’t also able to do much when I came to the engagement party. I failed to have my chance to talk to Leuzzi and clarify why he

LUCREZIAI smiled at my sister’s resounding laugh. Instead of pointing her out, I stayed silent and giggled along with her, not wanting her to go back to the sour mood that she had. I secretly hoped that she had already forgotten that she was just mad at me. I looked up at her when she spoke as I go along with her.“You see? Even I were feeling second hand embarrassment from you,” she adds after her laughter had died down.I frowned once again when I remembered that she wasn’t just laughing earlier, she was laughing at me. “So what?” I asked, still acting ignorant and stubborn. “It’s the reason why Pietro and I became close to each other. If it wasn’t for that maybe we wouldn’t have been engaged by now.”“Yeah, you continue doing that and you are going to get dumped on your wedding day,” she muttered sarcastically making me frown. “Pietro’s going to realize that he made a mistake asking you for marriage.”“You’re just a pessimist. You always assume the worst that could happen.”“May

EROSThree days ago…“AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!” I yelled loudly as I threw the glass that I was holding across the room. I pulled my hair in frustration and my eyes bulged as I burned in anger. I breathed in slow ragged breaths as I try to calm myself from anger.It was Pietro. It was him who is making me this angry right now.I thought everything is finished. I thought I have already handled him and had him under control. Pietro was supposed to be a solved problem for me. I was supposed to be celebrating today after hitting two birds in one stone.Pietro would be dead.I would be engaged to marry Lucrezia.And I would be happily celebrating my already ensured future without anyone to stop me.This day is supposed to be a day of celebration, not until Pietro showed up alive and well at the party earlier without even a single injury on his body. The person I thought would be dead by now is alive and just appeared in front of me earlier as if nothing had happened. The guy I hired to kill him
