98: Come Back Here
If I was still a human, for sure my heart stopped beating at that moment. I don’t know if I should trust Carter’s words after he lied and after all the pain he has inflicted to me, but that look in his sea-green eyes… it was like he is showing all the truth, his everything. The gentle look in his eyes made me feel that I can trust him again, that when it comes to me, all he is concerned of is my safety.
I don’t want to believe it so much because I don’t want to cling on false hopes, but can’t I hope that it is true? Ever since I turned to a vampire and knew my parents were dead as well as Jaxon, I kept on wishing so bad, I prayed so hard to have the power to turn back time. Or at least make this reality a dream and that I would just wake up with my family all well and me back to my normal life as an ordinary teenage girl studying in the nearest town college. I want to have that life so bad even if it means I w

“Who are you threatening?” Carter fired back, the confidence and pride were obvious on his voice.Landon smirked. I am not threatening anyone. I am merely stating what I am capable of.”“If that is the case, let me tell you this, Arthurs. You don’t know what I am capable of so don’t you fucking start with me.”“You don’t threaten an Arthurs, Rellis.”“The hell I care with your surname. I don’t fucking care who in the world you are or what bloodline you came from. I am just taking what you took from me in the first place and this time I will not let you touch my mate again.” The tone of Carter’s voice was so lethal, it almost left me shivering. Though, I don’t know why I suddenly can’t place the weird feelings I had for Landon recently. It felt like it just faded all of a sudden as if I had never felt like that. I wonder
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 100: Confused Heart
I don't know why it feels weird. I felt a little bad for turning my back on Carter and leaving, but I also feel a little pleasabt for walking back to Landon. So complex, isn't it? I don't even know how feeling two different emotions at the same time is possible.I know Carter doesn't want me to go to Landon because he's afraid I would end yo getting hurt, alright. But he doesn't know what I feel. I trust my instincts and it's saying that I can trust that Landon won't hurt me. And also, I didn't feel right leaving him like that. He is all alone while Carter has his family so I don't think it would be a big deal if I leave Carter for the moment so I can talk with Landon. I really need to have a lot sorting out to do, especially about this feelings I have for Carter and Landon.The moment I was close to Landon, I heard a sound of nearing chopper. I thought it was the one Carter's family used, but it wasn't.The chopper landed near us. Henry went out from it.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 101: Could Hardly Breathe
"I wanted to talk with you, so I didn't."His eyes narrowed a bit. "But let's say you didn't have unanswered questions. Would you still choose… to go with me?"My heart hurt a little with his dark yet gentle tone. He felt hesistant and careful. Maybe he didn't want to offend me. Or maybe he was afraid to hear my answer."Tell me." I looked down at his hand on my waist. My lashes flicked up when I met his gaze again. "What do you really want to know?"Earlier I though we would be shouting at each other once we are alone, but I was surprised at how gentle our talk is going so far.His eyes turned darker. It's getting dark now, but his eyes were way more darker than any darkness I've seen. I'm starting to love it, though. So I don't mind being stared by those dark mesmerizing orbs.Back then, I was so in love with Carter's sea-green eyes for it was one of the rarest eye color, and also be
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 102: Loving the Two
Is it really possible? To love two people at the same time?It's not normal, right? It shouldn't be like that. But then, if I have to choose between the two of them… at this point, I don't think I'm sure of what's the answer yet. I don't want to hurt anybody, especially Carter and Landon. But could I really avoid that if at the end of the day, I'd still have to choose one of them and drop the other?"So what is the answer, Eve. Do you still love him?" Landon went back to his question, cutting my thoughts about him being mateless.For some reason, I hoped that he had one and also felt happy that he hadn't. It's confusing, I see. But I hoped that he had one because if he had a mate, it would be easier for him to drop me, and I wouldn't have other choice but to go with Carter. Everything will be back to where it should belong. It won't be as complicated as this. But the dark side of me also felt happy that he didn't have
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 103: Tell Them the Truth
His hand was around my back while the other was caressing my hair. I heard his sweet rough chuckle that could make my dead heart leap."My lovely emotional wife. I hope you are not thirsty enough to bit me."He even managed to make a joke. For all I know, he just want to make this light so that I'd forget about my guilt.I just went off him when I heard someone cleared his throat. I was a bit embarrassed when I saw Henry not too far, his eyes were on his shoes."The drinks are already sent to your chamber, My Lord, My Lady.""Alright. We will be right there. Thank you, Henry," I said in a low voice and walked first, leaving Landon behind.I shook my head while suppressing a smile when I heard Landon's hearty laugh at my back.~*~*~"Get change," Landon told me after we both had a chalice of blood. The thirst has now subsided and I felt a lot better than I was.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 104: Going Home
"Oh, Landon, you don't know my mom. She won't surely forget to go detail by detail if we would tell her that. Besides, my parents would surely wonder why I'm suddenly married! I was just nineteen and studying college. Who would marry in the middle of college anyway? Well except those girls who got themselves pregnant in the middle of school year. Mom would rather believe that I had an accident, hit my head pretty hard and went insane. She won't buy it.""Let's make her see our wedding papers?""No. I didn't mean that she would question the validity of our marriage. She would rather question my sanity for marrying someone all of a sudden without even telling them. That is the case here."He nodded, understanding it better now."Let's don't say we are married. Let's just say I am your boyfriend and we have been together for a week and a half or how long you prefer. Don't you think that is convincing enough?"

"It felt like it's been a while since the last time I've been here.""I'm sorry if it took long. It's my fault for lying to you. I'm really sorry, Eve."I smiled at him. "I told you, it's alright. At least now I know my parents are safe, and Jaxon is, too.""Ah. That mongrel." His brow went up darkly as if he remembered something. "He likes you, doesn't he?""I don't think so?" I'm not very sure but I just can't think of Jaxon that way. "We are just really good friends since childhood. But I didn't know he's not human until I decided to live in Lynnwood.""Good friends." He nodded but the way his eyes turned darker made me feel like he has dark thoughts beneath his gentle eyes.I shook my head while smiling. When I heard the house's door opened, my eyes drifted to it at once. I saw Mom and the way her lips dramatically fell open made me know how surprised she was to see me. Of course she didn
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 106: Lot of Books
“You are quite a reader, huh. You have a lot of books,” Landon said, looking at my shelf.I think Mom really put effort in cleaning and organizing my room when I was not around. Because the last time I’ve been here, I remember the room was so messy. I was not in my usual state those days, disturbed and frustrated. Now that I’m back, I realized that I missed my room too. This room had a lot of memories with me and Carter. I could even consider this as our love nest. But although our story didn’t end good, if that could even be considered as an ending, I still treasure every moment we spent together. It’s already a part of me and I don’t think I can take it away.“Yeah. I’m a certified bookworm.”Landon looked at me with dark eyes. “A very beautiful bookworm.”I chuckled.“When do you want to meet your father?”
