"What happen?" My voice almost crack. My heart is palpitating fast as if it wanted to burst out from my chest. I felt crying because I couldn't understand the heaviness of my heart. All I know is, I am worried for my husband. I am so worried and I couldn't explain it into words. Something happen but he doesn't want to tell me. It gave me a hint that maybe it was my fault why he had that cut on his face. Sain Czar is an authoritative man, he will not let anyone stood on his way or challenge him. And I wonder why he let that someone hurt him and even left a wound on his cheek. "Sain," I thicken my tone and pulled him away. He slowly step back. He stood tall in front of me, arms on his both sides while gazing down at me with his tired deep soulful gray eyes. I felt a pang of pain when the scent of his blood invade my nostril. His face looks restless as if he's all energy was drained after a long battle. I lick my lower lip and carefully touch his face with my both hands. He shut h
"Vincer is here" I open my eyes when I heard the cheerful voice of Pierro as he enter the dining room with Vincer. I smile to the both of them as they take their seats. We continue eating, Pierro and Nicolai are talking nonsense things. Sometimes, Sain engage in a conversation but most of the times he is focus on his food which made me worry him a bit. "Are we going home already?" I ask while fixing the table. Sain is helping me as well as one of the lady helper who insist she can take care of it for me. I never tried doing household chores but I am easy to learn. I am slowly adapting with my life as Sain's wife that's why I am slowly trying to do some households. "As much as possible, I want us to go home" he utter in a low voice, eyes fix on the plate. He is seriously arranging it in a very careful manner as if he's afraid to break it. I shake my head and look at the lady helper who's staring at Sain. "I suggest you rest first" I walk towards him and get the plates. I handed
"Hera where are you?" Pollux ask through my in ear device. "I am now on position" I immediately reply and secure the accuracy of the sniper gun I am holding. I look through the lens and position my finger on the trigger as I followed Apollo's movement who choose to be on the close range engagement. "Where? Make sure you're safe" Apollo intervene before Pollux could say something. I rolled my eyes. "I am not the one who's entering the lion's den. You should be careful not me" I sarcastically reply. "You are also on the dangerous position. Someone is surely finding your location right now" he reason out. That will only happen if they knew that we have a plan to infiltrate them today. I frown. "I can handle myself" I firmly assure him. He doesn't need to worry about me, before deciding my location I clear the vicinity first to make sure that there will be no hindrance to our mission. "Fuck. To the west side of the building Hera! There's already an engagement" Pollux hurriedl
"We will visit my parents tomorrow, am I right?" I confirm as we walk inside the mansion. Sain gaze down at me, arm on my back while his hand is on my waist. Somehow, I used to this kind of moment. I get used on how he touches me, on how he look at me, and on how he talk to me. Human intimacy was hard to explain before. I don't even know how does it feels like because I am distance to people. I am someone who needs in the shadow of my name to prove my worth. But since I become Sain Czar's wife, I learn how does it feels like. Human warmth could give you comfort. A simple embrace can make you feel safe. Even just a simple touch of our fingers is enough to make me feel at ease. That's how powerful human intimacy. Sain Czar made me experience that. His tender touch, his tantalizing words that meant to seduce me. All of those is part of his intimacy that expose my vulnerability. "I don't think I can come with you" he carefully replied. My forehead creased as we stop walking. I conf
The moment I open my eyes, darkness greeted me. I tried to reach Sain beside me but the bed is empty, I'm the only one remain on my spot. The room is filled with darkness and my only source of light right now is the bright shining moon from the outside because the curtains was not close which made me creased my forehead. "Where is Sain?" I whisper to myself and scan my eyes around once again. The darkness is blinding and the deafening silence is giving me a goosebumps. I don't know but I feel something is odd happening. I get on my feet. I tried to find my feather slipper but I couldn't see it so I decided to just walk on my barefoot. I strode towards the light switch to turn it on but then, I don't think there is a source of light because the room is still cover with darkness. I press my lips together. "Sain?" I tried to call him, hoping that he is just inside the room but no one response. I was about to take a step towards the walk in closet when suddenly a loud thump sound
I walk inside the Castania's mansion with a plastered smile on my face. Despite the bad dream that ruined my sleep last night, I have something to look after this day. Well, I would be hypocrite if I say that I don't like that dinner date idea. I am excited to it honestly. I wonder what was Sain thinking the past few days why he suddenly plan us to dine outside. The smile on his face inside says it all. He is planning something which I assume that he was giving me surprise. Well, I don't want to assume too much but I already anticipate that it would be a romantic dinner date if ever. And that makes me in a good mood. I breath calmly as I step on the living room, but the smile on my face disappear when I was greeted by Mrs. Castania. I slightly creased my forehead seeing her serious expression. She is aware that I'm going to visit today that's why I am not surprise that she is waiting for me, what I don't understand is why is she giving me that look? I mean, that look as if I did som
"Selena!" I stop when I heard Mrs. Castania. I am not supposed to listen to hear but I remember that there could be someone watching us secretly so I force my feet not to take a step away from her. I heard her fast footsteps and I frown when I felt her held my wrist. My gaze went down to her hand before I slowly turn to look at her. The fear is still visible in her eyes despite what I told her inside the room which annoyed me. Which of what I said she couldn't understand? Her life is connected to me right now even if she likes it or not because I am playing the role of her beloved daughter Selena Asli Castania. If I get caught, she will get caught, and both of them will die on Ildefonso's hand. She must listen to me. If she didn't she will die early because of her stupidity. I am not who put her in this situation, it was her choice to turn her back to Ildefonso in which I don't know the reason why. She should listen to me because I know what I'm doing. "What if Accardo Triad w
I was about to close my eyes when suddenly my phone rang that made me flinch. I pulled out the phone on my pocket expecting that it was Sain but to my surprise a familiar digit flash on the screen. I get off the bed and lock the door of my room before I press the answer button. "Enzo" I utter in a low serious tone. I walk towards the balcony and I slightly shiver when a cold morning breeze greeted me. I scan the whole surrounding and I saw those men in black that guarding the whole vicinity of Castania's mansion. "Finally, you answer my call" he breath out. He sound a bit worried but at the same time relieved. "I am in the Castania's mansion right now. I ask Sain to visit my so called Mom, good thing he agree" I rolled my eyes the moment I utter the word 'Mom'. "How are you? I heard Toshiro Kimura was being pulled out in the mission" he inquire. So he knew about it. My assumption was right, my father already inform the council about my disobedience. I am not exactly sure what i
