27: Annoying Knight
Five years ago…
"Why the noise in the living room? What's up?" I asked a maid walking in the hallway. I no longer bothered to blow dry my hair after bathing so it was still a bit wet.
"Sir Revo's friends came. Your two cousins are also there. They are at the dinner table, ma’am.”
I sighed and nodded. She proceeded with her work while I stepped down on the staircase.
No wonder the house is noisy again. After all, the mansion would not be noisy without the older brother's group. I was eight years old when I first met his friends, aside from our cousins, Sage and Markus. So I got used to it for five years.
I went straight to the dining area where they were all. They are laughing and talking loudly. I snorted. Noisy boys.
"Morning, Elena!" I glanced at Markus. He also immediately looked back at the talking friends.
"Yeah bro, Christine is a catch!"
"Her boobs are small."
"Come on Sage, it will develop so

A series of knocks grabbed my attention. I was too lazy to get up from lying down when I heard the voice of a housemate."Miss Elena, Sir Rage is asking you to go down. Dinner is ready," she said.I winced, not wanting to leave the room after what happened earlier. I'm still disgusted. Irritated with Rage. If he hadn’t been carrying some woman that wouldn’t have happened. But who am I to decide, anyway? I just make a living. But even that. He should have picked girls who have better etiquettes."Tell him I will eat later."They don't have Aunt Laura so it's okay not to go along. She's busy with her husband on some business stuffs.The maid didn't insist and just go back downstairs. I have no appetite. My scalp still hurts to this day. Damn that girl. I really hope he doesn’t go here anymore. Because if he comes back, I won't be bathing him with a sprinkler but a hose. Annoying.I jumped out of my bed. I went to the front of
The Assassin and The Alpha 29: Favor to Ask
"What?" I asked Neri when she pulled me. Markus moved slightly away from us. He’s now talking with other women. "Hm, a handsome guy is watching you," she said and grinned. She nodded towards one direction. I saw a man on the pool. Just like what she said, a handsome one. I smirked. Well... not bad for a sight. "Isn't he handsome?" She first handed the cocktail glass to me and removed her sandals and sat on the edge of the pool. Let the water wet the feet. I did the same and stood beside him. "Yup. Your type?" She took a sip on her cocktail. She grinned and shook his head. "I just find him hot. Other than that, I don't have any plan on going out with him. I mean..." She snorted. "You know, there seems to be something missing." I laughed. "You, what's your type? Um, the sporty? Like basketball players? Academic achievers? Nerdy type? Business-minded like sons of tycoons? You can also be in line with the career you want to match.

"On Sunday, my brother and his friends will go to El Fuego. They will look at our farm there and take a walk as well. I said we will come. Invite Jesyl," I told Neri when I learned of their brother's walk over the weekend.Usually, I don't go with them. But since I have to walk Jesyl to Rage, this is a big opportunity for them to know each other."Alright, Elena. I'll tell her. Thank you really," he said. Big smile.I blinked."Treat me to lunch the whole semester.""I thought you weren't begging?""Because I can't think of anything else so that's all you have to do. I can still save an allowance. I am just being frugal.”"Frugal?" she asked like she doesn't know that word. "You still know that word? You're even richer than us. If you can speak it, you'll think you're suffering."I didn't speak and just thought about what to do to to reconcile Rage and Jesyl. But I think it wouldn't be hard considering that she has the lo
The Assassin and The Alpha 31: Sealed With A Kiss
We went to the border of El Fuego where a tall lighthouse stood. We stood near the long cliff, watching the wild waves rule the sea below. Aside from the plantation and neighboring lands, this part was my favorite place to visit back thenThe salty air is so damn refreshing, even the place is just naturally beautiful and tranquil. A place where you can feel comfort and peace. Indeed, nature will always be the most beautiful creation."Oh, beers." Carson distributed the canned beers. He was the one who brought the drinks. Sage is in charge of the food."It's yours," he said and handed me a carbonated drink.We sat on the grass. I was next to Neri while Rage was on the other side of me. I don't know why he sat next to me. I don't want to be rude so I just remained on my position. Jesyl, on the other hand, is sitting beside him. Trying so hard to be noticed. But if before it was still answering, now it is not really."Elena," Neri whispered. "Rage see
The Assassin and The Alpha 32: Dangerous Love
"What, Elena?!" Neri was hysterical when I told her that I agreed to Rage’s offer. At the strength of his shout a few people looked at our behavior inside the restaurant we were eating at"Lower your voice.""You don't have to do that!" She slapped his forehead."We both know what kind of men your brother's friends are! And yet, you sacrificed yourself? You, bitch! Are you out of your mind?""I did it for you. So, just shut up and enjoy the benefits. So you must win the competition. Make sure of it. That's the least you can do.""No. Back off on that deal, Elena. I just want you to ask her but I won't allow it that way. That's too much!"I sighed."It's really fine, Neri. Do you think I'll be shaken by that playboy Rage? I've known him over a decade. He won't affect me, I tell you. This is a big opportunity for you. So improve now only in the club for you to be chosen. "She sighed heavily and tapped the glass of juice wi
The Assassin and The Alpha 33: Embrace the Foreign
It was Saturday the next day. But instead of joining the orphanage, I stayed at home. There are still cooking lessons because I need to master. Maybe I'll just get the kids back next time. Also, mama was with my older brother and our two cousins. Good thing, they are not busy today.I'm on the kitchen, practicing the different cuts of vegetables when I noticed someone's presence. I stopped slicing the carrots and looked up to arrive.When I saw who it is, my gaze went back on the chopping board and knife."Why are you here?" I asked curtly."Why? Can't I visit you?"I heard his heavy footsteps towards me.I glanced at him once. He stopped by my side, leaning against the counter top. I look hard. I sighed. Refocused attention on what was being done."Look, I'm studying, Rage. Don't disturb me.""I'm not interrupting you. I'll just watch. I won't disturb you."I continued to cut."How's your date? What happened? May
The Assassin and The Alpha 34: A Jealous Man's Kiss
"You seem bothered... hmm," Neri said when we met at the school library. It's been three days since the last day I saw Rage. But what happened back when we were in El Fuego is giving me a damn hard time until now. I can't get it off in my head like a bullshit drug. I should get over it, right? It's just a fucking kiss! Anyone could kiss me like that! I shouldn't be bothered!I sighed heavily as I turned the page of the culinary book I'm reading."What happened? Spill the beans, Elena. We're just here so don't be shy. Did you... uh, did you..." I looked up at her. A malicious smile is plastered on her face. That moment, I knew what she's possibly thinking."Of course not!" My voice was not loud but very firm.She grinned. "Er, why do you seem to be affected by that? How many days have I noticed you like that. So I jumped into conclusion that something happened on your last date.""Shut up, Neri. Nothing like that happened, no. It's just your illusio
The Assassin and The Alpha 35: Handsome Assistant
"I was late for my first class earlier. Well, Prof Minchin scolded me again," Neri said. Let's go home when we meet. When I got home last night, I texted him to see if he was home safely. It was morning when he replied, probably because he was drunk.I asked her if anything happened but she told me there was none. There I breathed a sigh of relief."That's what you've got from drinking too much last night. I don't know about you. You know you have low alcohol tolerance and then you're all drinking. You're really crazy."She snorted. "You didn't even stop me!""You're busy with Albert. I didn't realize.""Sus. You mean, you're busy with Leo!"I chuckled and shook my head. Afterwards, she suddenly stopped from walking. We stopped in the middle of the hallway of the building. She turned to me with narrowed eyes. I frowned."Ah! I remembered!""What?""I forgot why you suddenly disappeared. Now, I remember. Rage came! I also
