Thirty-Two
The belly rules the mind. A recipe is as spontaneous as the cook.
✾
Like he promised, Yohan did help me in removing the shell of the shrimp.
“I can’t remember the last time I had tempura,” He says a smile on his face. “You are making tempura, right?”
Nodding, I start deveining the shrimp. This was a recipe that I learned from Eleanor, despite not being a Niju native, she was a terrific cook. I us

Betrayal never comes from people you don't know.✾ “Okay, that smells amazing!” Max pushed me aside to enter the room, sniffing as she goes. She wasn’t lying when she said that she had some cooked rice and bread ready in her own room. It’s not that much rice but it is still rice, and it’s been so long since I’ve had it. I don’t even remember if I had a full meal back at the academe before I got here. Yohan looks at both of us, shock in his face, he chuckles “Sure, come in?”
Rules and Roses Thirty-Four
The thing about memories is that it's only just that. Something of the past. Cannot be repeated, supposed to be forgotten.✾“Are you sure you could go by yourself?”“Yes.”“Can’t it wait ‘til tomorrow morning? It’s already dark out.”“No.”“You sure you’ll be okay?”Rolling my eyes, I playfully punch Yohan’s shoulder, making him jump a little. Max had long gone left us both here, she was kind enough to clean up her plate but Yohan couldn’t in her right mind have someone else do work when he’s able to. So as kindly as he could, he asked her to
Rules and Roses Thirty-Five
The rich stay rich by keeping everything that makes them rich.✾ Ebony skin, thick black curly hair, and dark brown doe eyes. The woman in front of me can almost pass as Eleanor, however, she doesn’t. She doesn’t even come close. If you probably ask someone who barely knows Eleanor, she might say that this was her, probably why Max said she might be the person I was looking for. However, with someone like me who knows Eleanor almost most of her lifetime, I can tell for a fact that this wasn’t her. Plus, she didn’t have Eleanor’s signature mole under her right eye. The woman lo

Rules and Roses Mariana's Letter
Silas, This will be a little long so I want you to bear with me. I have information that you need, information that you would deem rather useful. Contrary to your belief, I have figured out what you are planning. If you’ve read this letter already, then that means the great Alpha Irvine had already left the palace. He probably left a dead body as well, as he usually does whenever he visits a place. We all know your father isn’t someone that strays from violence, he feeds off it like the feral werewolf he is. Yes, I do understand that there might be a small possibility that you’re going to show this to the man himself, but you won’t. That I know. Why? Simple. You’re a simple man, Silas.

Rules and Roses Thirty-Six
Behind every successful woman is herself.✾ I’m guessing it was the huge frown on my face that made Yohan ask just what happened. It was a mixture of frustration as well as disappointment. Disappointment because I was actually looking forward to seeing Eleanor again, despite not being on the best of terms. Even though we’re no longer as close as we were then, I’m not the kind of person who would wish for an old friend’s downfall. Frustration because it feels as if we did all of this for nothing, we traveled for so long, so far, only to be told no. “Ugh!” I groan loudly i

✾ To say Yohan was dumbfounded was an understatement. Racking my brain for a reason as to why that was, I just couldn’t quite find a conclusion aside from him misunderstanding my whole sentence. Repeating what I just said in my own mind, it echoed very clearly. Sleep with me. No wonder his mouth was open now, that sounded very much like an invitation. “Please get your head out of the gutter,” I snap, frowning at him. “This big is big enough for the both of us.”&n
