84: Collateral Damages
My brows furrowed when I heard that name. I looked at the habit from which the calling came. But someone else met my sight. It's that woman I saw in that article. Beatrice Gunningworth. The asshole's fiancée.
I looked at her intently. She's not just beautiful in the photo. She's really beautiful in person. Her moves are very feminine and classy. Her skin is not fair, but tanned. The body is also tall and has a beautiful curve. And by the way she carries herself, she's truly a fashion icon.
My brow shot up at the sight. This time Carter's choice looks good. Far from those low class type of women he had back then. He also has a good family background so he really decided to marry her. Damn that liar. He fooled me with such sweet words, but here I am, looking at his soon to be wife. He is a cheater!
My grip on the champagne flute tightened. Why do I even need to see his woman here? Even her mother is also here to almost

Lea’s POV I kept my eyes closed until my breathing gradually subsided. I was lying on the bed, without any covering under the blanket. Carter is lying beside me while planting feathery kisses on my shoulder. I turned my back on his chest so I could feel his warm body pressing against my back. I stayed still, tired of what we just did. "What do you want to eat, hmm?" he whispered huskily. His hug tightened on me. I sighed and opened my eyes. "Anything." He held my hand and lifted it up towards his lips. He sealed it with a little kiss. "Just don't go with Emery. I know you're tired. Let's just cuddle here." "But I've already said yes to her. That is rude you know." "I'll just tell her that you're tired." He intertwined our fingers and buried his face on my neck. “She would understand for sure.” I really want to be with him. But with my body's state, I'd rather sleep. So I just agreed

"What did he do?" he asked coldly as he caressed my back. I shook and continued to cry."Tell me, Lea. Did he hurt you? What did that demon do to you? I'll gladly kill him for you.""N-No... No, Rios. Take me away from here, please. Bring me somewhere... away from here... Please ... I beg you."He sighs and supports me. He led me out of this place full of pain. I walked without looking back. I was afraid to look back, I would see him and couldn’t help but run back. He's my weakness, the weakness that will drag me down."What happened? Your phone is out of coverage. I was very worried. So I immediately went here to look for you. But I found you in El Fuego. Crying and wrecked just like what you looked like years ago."When we arrived at the hotel he's staying in Manila, he immediately interrogated me. I washed my own palms while sitting on the couch."My cellphone was damaged becaus
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 87: Yacht Party
I adjust the strap of the robe as I walk closer to the couch. There are paper bags in there, probably full of what I’m going to wear. I combed the wet hair with my fingers before looking at it. I found t-shirts with different colors. There are also shorts and lingeries. My forehead creased. Just T-shirts? I shook and finally did nothing but put on what I had. I don't have my wardrobe, so I don't have any choice but to compromise. After getting dressed, I stopped on the veranda. I was intrigued when I heard the waves in the distance. I hold the banister as my eyes feast on the scenery. Right from here, I can see the stunning view of El Fuego coast. I could clearly see the vast sea and its waves. The rays of the rising sun reflect in the water, making it look shining and magical. This resort is damn beautiful. Looking at the crystalline seawater, it's making me want to take a dip and enjoy it's coldness. I also want to feel
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 88: In Ecstacy
My tears flowed. My tears mixed on the saltwater in my face. I no longer know what to believe. I no longer know what to feel. I know I shouldn't trust him. He lied to me about his past. So I should just hate him.But being in his arms again made me feel so weak ... yet safe. His presence carries danger, but now that he holds me tightly, I never felt so secured after those years of suffering. Just now, again. And it was just him, he was the only one who could make me feel like this.He looked at me. I averted my gaze. He touched my chin with his finger and lifted it up to meet his dark gaze."Look at me," he commanded. I secretly thought that my face was wet in the sea water so the crying was not obvious earlier. He stared at me intently."What are you doing?" I asked hoarsely."Staring at my most favorite sight." He remained serious. I was stunned and dazed. Do not be silent.Slowl
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 89: Familiar Man
Landon's hand was then wrapped around my waist when we entered the huge luxury yatch. I had been in different parties back when I was a human, so basically this is not new to me anymore.I was totally relieved when I saw that like Landon said, everyone in the party is vampire. Of course I trust Landon would never risk our plans in letting me go wild in an elite party, but I guess my instinct just don't trust fully and that I still should confirm it with my own two eyes.A man and a woman went to us at once. Based on how the man held the woman's waist and how intimate they were, I think they are most probably a couple. The woman was wearing a crimson red glittery dress with a big ribbon in the left shoulder. The man on the other hand is wearing a dark blue tuxedo and a bow tie. In human age, I guess they are around early thirties or something near that."I'm so
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 90: How Sweet
"How sweet, you said ma'am you don't have a boyfriend now?" Cleo giggled. His face was red, probably because of the alcohol. Liza slapped him again and told him to be quiet.Carter glared at me darkly.I was swallowed. Now his expression is more angry. And I can't find even a word to defend myself!"I'm not just her boyfriend. I'm her fiancé. We're getting married next month."My jaw dropped. They even dropped their jaws in panic. The glass Vina was holding almost slipped from her hand, the others could not speak in shock. Architect was also surprised. Even me was stunned!“We’re leaving,” he said.He never let me say goodbye to my comrades and guided me away. On our way out, some people glanced at us. There were still whispers that I was sure we were the ones in question. But no one tried to interrupt, not even the women. Maybe it's because of Carter's obvious dark and furious eye
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 91: Drowned to Him
Insanity. If there is one word that could describe that night, it would be that word. I could not believe that I had actually brought myself to do that with Landon. I gave in. I gave my virtue to him and I could not believe that I really did that. Even when I was with Carter, we never came to that point. Or maybe Carter had just amazing self-control to step over his limits. And it was different with him before because I was a human and he needed to be careful. But then, it was also different with Landon, a lot different because in the first place, I had no feelings for him. I did not love him the way how I loved Carter before. So what the hell pushed me to throw all my inhibitions away and go with the flow. It is very obvious that Landon just wants to play. Of course what else could be the reason why he did that? It is impossible that he developed some kind of feelings for me in those couple of weeks. And Landon is certainly not the 'falling' type. I even doubt if he
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 92: Getting Hopes Up
"Maybe I'll just pass by for a while, but I won't be long. I'm busy since I have two personal appointments tomorrow. You'll take care of the paperworks first. Also tell Architect Ramirez that he will meet with the client first.""How about your meeting with the representatives of Isabedra Advertising Company regarding the advertisement, ma'am? It's tomorrow, with the board.""Reschedule it next week."She nodded.A few minutes after Rian left Marie said goodbye as well. She seems to have a date. I just didn’t investigate. She's been dating random men the past week. But unfortunately, she did not have a single blow."Sir has arrived, ma'am," said a maid.I first looked at the look in the mirror before leaving the room. When Marie and I left, I just went back to the room. But I haven't been in bed for twenty minutes and here I go again."Where have you been?" I asked with
