"See you tomorrow, wife. Make sure to greet me nicely" he playfully mutter under his breath."See you tomorrow..." I whisper and end the call.I flash a small casual smile when I saw Nicolai heading straight to me. I wave his phone in the air earning a formal yet friendly smile from him. I cross my arms over my chest and roam my eyes around. The heat of the sun is starting to burn my skin and the cold morning breeze was replace with warmth wind. I think it's time for me to go back inside. It would be better if I spent the rest of the day resting because tomorrow is surely a big day not just for Sain Czar but also for me. Laurent's death was a big deal because she is Alcatraz, she is not just someone who came from the unknown mobster. Her family is a known assassins. They were the protector of Ildefonso family. Her role in the organization is huge. I should expect a lot of people. People from Ilde Famiglia."Are you done?" I flinch when I heard Nicolai's voice that drags me back to m
"You should sleep early tonight, honey" my father said with a sweet smile plastered on his handsome face. I am busy watching movie while he is busy persuading me to go to the bed early for our family activity tomorrow in school. "Do you want to be late tomorrow?" He threaten that made me pout and look at him. "I'm still watching Dad, please..." I whisper. He laugh and pinch my cheek before fixing my long black hair. He was about to say something but then his phone ring so he stood on his seat and walk away. My gaze unconsciously follow him. I saw him walk outside, he's having a serious conversation with the person on the other line so I smile thinking that my father is finally busy so he doesn't have time to disturb my movie marathon. But after a couple of minutes Dad return on my seat and suddenly turn off the television that made me frown. "Daddy!" I scream but he smile warmly. "You can continue watching on your room, honey" he patiently said. "Why? I want to watch here bec
His voice lingers on my ears. He sound serious. Dead serious. I press my lips together and blink at him in disbelief. How did he came up in that kind of conclusion? Am I really look fragile that made him think that I'm scared after everything that happen this week and he was not with me. I mentally laugh. I shake my head and look away biting my lower lip. "You're over thinking" I shifted my gaze at his handsome face that I must admit, I miss. "It was just a nightmare. It's not your fault, don't make it a big deal" I smile.But his brows furrowed and caress my face. "How could I not make it a big deal when I saw how you cry because of it?" He insist.Oh come on. I really can't believe it, the famous ruthless, merciless, and dangerous Sain Czar Ildefonso has a childish side like this. If everyone is aware with it, I don't think they still get intimidated to this man.I shake my head. "Enough. Just answer me, what are you doing here? How did you manage to enter my room? And what time i
There is a sudden tension in his muscles that I could clearly feel because we are too close to each other. His body went rigid and I am not sure why does he has that kind of reaction. His embrace tighten as if he doesn't want to let go of me, his arms around my waist gives me an illusion that the son of my enemy is my protector. He is the person who will stood in front of me at all cost, that was in my imagination right now. But I know better. The reality is something that I can't escape. My existence means revenge, my reality is vengeance. Sooner or later when I get everything I need to this man, I will kill him with my hands and dispose him like a piece of trash. Sain Czar Ildefonso's role to my life was just the instrument of my revenge against his father. "Sain-""I will not let that happen" he cut me off.I stop. He sound serious and firm while I am staring on the wall with my void expression face. If he just knew... My real family was long gone, they all disappear in just a sn
We have a lot of things to do this day, although Sain is not telling me anything, on the back of my head I already knew the possibilities that might happen. So instead of having an early arguments with him, I just did what he's asking from me. Besides, his request is part of our deal. Without saying a word, I held his shoulders for support and tiptoe to reach his lips. It was just a peck on the lips. It was just a quick contact between his lips and mine, but ironically, I felt a sudden shiver that instantly crawl to every fiber of my nerves. My heart reacted and it start pounding fast inside my chest as if it wanted to burst out. I don't know what is that for, this is not my first time giving him a kiss but this reaction is strange. The response of my body is freaking strange. I immediately let go of him and step back, giving enough distance between us. His presence is like a strange assault to my system, that is something that never change. Since the first time, I already felt that,
I'm staring the clear blue sky while Sain Czar, my so called husband is comfortably sleeping on my shoulder. There is a deafening yet comfortable silence inside the car as we're just a normal married couple that planning to have a quick getaway. The driver is silent as well, his whole attention is on the road not minding what's happening in the backseat. The car is moving in a normal pace, the danger that I've been thinking was disappear. I couldn't felt the threat against my life and I don't know did it happen. But come to think of it, its been more than a month since I become Mrs. Ildefonso. The tension I felt the first time we met was gone, I don't know when but I just realize that it was gone. Before, I felt like he was so close yet so far to reach as if he intentionally set boundaries between us. But right now? It was the opposite that happen. Sain Czar was the one who step close towards me, trying to make this marriage work.I was able to experience things that I never experien
The ceremony started. Everyone was silent while listening to the priest in front. This is my first time attending a burial because I never experience this when my parents died. I wasn't able to give them a proper burial because of their tragic death. Daddy Luscio was not able to collect their bodies because the whole house was burned into ashes. It's just sad that they don't have a grave that I could visit whenever I feel that I am losing track of my goal.When it feels like I forget the reason of my existence I wanted to have a tomb to visit. Whenever I'm sad and lonely, I was hoping that there is a place where I can visit them. But then, life is so cruel to me. Cesar Ildefonso was so cruel, he didn't even gave mercy to me and my family. Even Cladia who was supposed to be not part of his plan because Cladie is just my maid but then, he also killed her. He killed everyone in our house not just my parents but everyone who lives in our house.I look at Laurent's picture and then my eyes
Sain hold my gaze as if he doesn't agree to Cassinno. I do understand because he has that kind of attitude. When he wants something then he will have it. He has a very short and thin patience that is surprisingly adjusting when it comes to me. "Don't look at me like that" he groan lowly.I frown, confuse with what he said."What do you mean?" I glance at Cassinno and Helena who's giving me a bitch stare. "I'm just trying to convince you to calm down because I will explain everything once we're at home" I calmly explain. He shut his eyes close and hissed a curses under his breath before sighing heavily."Fine" he agree but his controlled tone and furrowed is saying the opposite. "Stay here" he instructed.He was about to let go but I immediately grab his arm. "Where are you going?" I anxiously ask.He's gonna leave me at this moment? Oh, come on. Apollo never left me when he feels like I am not safe. I am not safe right now, that freaking stare is still lingering around damn it! Onc
