57: Don't Use Me To Lie
It was past twelve when we returned to the mansion for lunch. Like last night we were just quiet at the table.
I can feel the heavy atmosphere surrounding us. Until now, I feel angry with Rage. But what really makes him angry? If coming here is just a burden, then he's free to leave!
"If you don't want to go there, it's okay with me..." I took a deep breath and looked at him. "You don't need to be with me all the time."
He gazed at me darkly.
"I'll come," he said stiffly.
I sighed and shrugged. Although I want to object, I don't want to prolong our conversation. It would just make my head ache.
After eating our lunch, he washed the dishes. I scratched the fridge and thought of something to cook. Of course, I don't want to come to Rhea's birthday empty-handed. I can't give a gift because I haven't prepared. So I'm thinking, this would do.
"You'll cook?" he asked. He wipes his hand while I am in front of the island counter, cutting up f

"Thank you for accepting our invitation, Elena, Rage," Cora said as we headed home. It was six o'clock in the afternoon so the sky was a bit dark. Lucio was already drunk that time so we're not able to bid our goodbyes to him."Nothing," I said and smiled."Take care."I nodded. "Seriously, Rhea, we will go ahead."Serio nodded and smiled. So did the younger brother.Rage opened the car's door for me. I slid inside silently and watched him turn to the driver's seat. He stared at me after entering, an expectant look.I shook my head and frowned."What's with the look?"He shook his head and fasten his seatbelt. I did the same."You're tired?" he asked softly."Not so...""Sleepy?""Not yet."He nodded and started the car. But my eyes narrowed when he's driving towards the wrong way. Instead of making his way to the mansion, on the other hand he turned, away from there. I looked at him curiously
The Assassin and The Alpha 59: I am Begging You
One look at the luxurious room, anyone would know it's a presidential suite. On the long sofa was already my duffel bag that Rage had given to a bellboy when we arrived earlier. Still frustrated of the things he said earlier, I heaved and looked at him."Why just one suite? Get me another one, Rage.”I don't know what's running on his mind and why he acted that way. But that won't change the fact that he's with another woman. I shouldn't meddle in anything that they have. I shouldn’t send in the impulse. I should be rational, not impulsive. Although I was confused by what he said, I still had to control myself. But if he's just doing this to make fun of me or to prove something, I don't know what to do anymore.Rage sighed. "Fine. You'll stay here. I'm in the next suite."I nodded. "Good." I looked around before walking over to the sofa and sitting there. I crossed my legs. His eyes cockily followed my every move. I was taken aback by the way
The Assassin and The Alpha 60: Answer Me, Elena
For several minutes, I remained on that position, thoughts were running on my head while staring at the closed door where I last saw him. I just stared there, sometimes biting my lip and closing my eyes tightly, sometimes shaking, hoping to have a decision on what to do in the situation. Would it be right to confess to him knowing that he's in a relationship? But why did he even say that? Why else would he make me feel like he was still feeling something. I scratched my forehead. Then he almost jumped in panic when there was a knock on the door. It's not Rage, I'm sure. He came in earlier while I was sleeping, what about now? Also, he just came out so it's unlikely to come back right away especially from what happened earlier. Reluctantly I stood up and opened up to whoever was outside. Later on, I realized it's just a bellboy. He was carrying an empty food cart. He politely asked if I had finished eating. After nodding, he asked permission to go in. Of cours
The Assassin and The Alpha 61: Feeling of Betrayal
I could feel something hot wrapped around my waist. Upon remembering what happened last night, I slowly opened my eyes. Rage’s face flashed at me. His eyes were closed and he slept soundly next to me while hugging me tight.Even while sleeping, he looks so handsome. His face is peaceful and it seems like he’s very comfortable to sleep. I really can't believe we just did it last night.I stared at him for a few minutes, silently memorizing each line on his face."Marry me, Elena.”My eyes rolled not because he suddenly woke up but because of what he just said.Is what I heard correct?Slowly, he opened his eyes. I froze as I looked at his dark soulful eyes. It was full of emotion while staring at me. Emotions I can't explain in the mind. But those emotions are making my heart pound so hard and fast.I sneezed and was about to pull his arm away from my waist when he pulled me closer and hugged me even more. I took a de
The Assassin and The Alpha 62: Shotgun Proposal
"Elena, are you really okay? Let's go to the hospital first..." Rage asked again while driving. He asked me that question for already a few times.I sighed, eyes fixed on the outside, no intention of looking at him. My chest still hurts like hell. Even hearing her voice was painful for me. So the more I need to distance myself to him as soon as possible."I'm fine," I couldn't contain the irritation in my voice.I heard him sigh heavily. Fortunately, he didn't insist on what he wanted. After we left Batangas, he asked again."Are you hungry? We can do drive thru.""No, I'm not..." was my short reply without glancing at him.After a two -hour drive, we were in Manila. We didn't say a word in the car, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed his steady glance at me. Every time we stopped because of traffic, he just stared at me as if someone wanted to ask or say something but in the end chose not to speak.As soon as the car stopped in

He helped me clean up. He also helped me get dressed. I got drained so I didn't have choice but to let him fix me.I faintly sat up in bed. My face heated realizing what we just did. But wait, did I really accepted his proposal?I sighed.Fuck, yeah. I just did. I fucking did!Instead of looking at Rage adjusting himself in front of me I averted my gaze and turned my attention to something else. I was so submissive on his touch! Too embarrassing!"Give me a minute. I'll just call someone..." he said and took the cellphone from his pocket. He remained standing in front of me, though. She held one hand on the phone while the other was in my hair and gently caressed it."Yes, it's me, Judge..."My lips parted as I looked up at him. Judge?"The marriage papers, can you please prepare it tonight?"I was swallowed."Yes... yes. Let's meet at my penthouse in Crown Building. Prepare everything."He chuckled. Her ey
The Assassin and The Alpha 64: Mission Failed
"Rage... are you really sure about this?" I nervously questioned entering the elevator of the Crown Building where the penthouse they owned eight was. I'm freaking nervous of Rage’s plans. What if my parents won’t like our sudden decision?Should I push this through?Rage looked at me. From my waist, his hand went down to reach mine. He gently squeezed my hand as he looked at me with eyes full of assurance."I'm very much certain, babe. Why are you hesitant? Don't you like this?" his voice weakened at the final question.I shook. I don't want him to think that way."I'm sure about you, Rage. I'm just really nervous. I'm nervous about my family's reaction if they'll find this. How about Revo? You didn't tell him?""Don't worry about them. I'll talk to them when they get home. And I didn't tell Revo about this. Don't worry, he likes me for you.”He smiled and kissed my forehead. That relaxed me. With his simple gesture

"Linda, please tell the driver to get the car ready. I'm leaving," I ordered after getting dressed. I just wore a simple beige dress for that day.When Linda said the car was ready, I immediately came out with a black sling bag slung over my shoulder. The driver opened the door for me and when I entered, he asked where I was going.I told him the address at the restaurant where Wilson and I would meet.He then drove the car out of the gate. But even though we were not able to get out, a car parked in front of the gate. Suddenly, the driver stopped our car because it was blocking the road."Looks like you have a visitor, Miss Elena.”My forehead furrowed.I don't remember anyone close to me who's driving a red Porshe. I also make sure that it is not the vehicle of my cousins or their friends.Because I have never seen them use a red car. It's not their type. Maybe Wilson? But we agreed that he would not pick me up. He also didn
