Carnation didn't hesitate to leave Wren's house, despite the fact that she hadn't heard everything yet. She hurried back to their house, boarding the taxi that was parked outside Wren's subdivision. Francoise' words were all that remained in Carnation's head.
What did Francoise mean when she said Wren was their older brother? Were she and Wregan related?Carnation sniffed her sore sinuses. She thought her life's shocking revelations were over. She thought she could start forgiving the Leath brothers and end her tumultuous relationship with them, but it wasn't over yet. What she couldn't figure out. How did she come to be involved with the Leaths?
"Daddy!" she exclaimed as soon as she walked into their home. If anyone knew her true identity and connection to the Leaths, it could only be her father.
"Carnation, what are you shouting about? Your daddy is in the garden." It was her stepmother who looked confused in the kitchen because of her screaming. "How i
Carnation couldn't say anything. She simply stood on the side of the road, staring into the eyes of the young man with his hand outstretched. She was surprised to see him here. Why is her boss standing in front of their home? "Carnation!!" she heard her father say from inside the house. She returned her gaze to their home before turning to face Luca once more. He continued to smile at her, not lowering his outstretched hand. Carnation heard her father call her name again, but before he could reach her outside the house, Carnation reached for Luca's outstretched hand, and with quick movements, he led her into the shotgun seat, and when the young man took the wheel, he immediately pulled the vehicle away from their house. They were both quiet on the journey, the young man not speaking to her. Carnation also lacked the courage to speak about what had happened earlier. She was perplexed by what she had discovered about her own life. She wants nothing more than to go away
"Did you like the food?" Luca inquired, wiping his mouth with a tissue. "I'm not sure if you enjoy the food I prepare." She laughed slightly at what the young man said. She is not picky about food, nor is she greedy, but she is very full from the dinner he prepared. "Yes, I couldn't imagine that you're good at cooking!" she laughed as she drank from the glass in front of her. "Yeah... I'm a good lover as well, maybe you want to try—" "I haven't forgotten that you're a virgin," she interrupted the young man. Luca frowned at her and rose from his seat. He took a bottle of wine and two goblets from the mini bar. "Now what? You're going to get me drunk; did you really plan this?" "What?" Luca exclaimed as he arranged the items on the dining table. "I'm not sure what you're saying; I'd just like to invite you to join me for some wine in the observatory room." "You have an observatory here? But this is a cave. We're at the bottom of
"I'd like you to meet Lilith," Luca said as he pressed the black button on the wall. In the living room, a large painting of a snake tilts to the left side of the wall. When a 2-foot-tall by 3-foot-wide by 8-foot-long cage appeared behind the painting, Carnation's eyes widened. "Wow!" Carnation exclaimed, speechless at what she saw. "She's a white albino reticulated python," Luca said, pointing at the large snake in front of them. Carnation couldn't take her gaze away from the young man's pet python. The enormous snake is stunning. It has a very nice color, which is a mixture of white and yellow. "She's beautiful...," she exclaimed again as she moved closer to the cage's glass. "Can you tell me the name of your pet anaconda in Manila? I don't recall you mentioning it." "Oh, the green anaconda; her name is Eve," she smiled as she nodded to the young. "Did you know, when I was young, I had a snake named Adam. But I'm not sure where he is now or
Carnation screamed as Luca threw him onto the room's super king size bed. "Can't you just be careful? Do you really have to throw me out?" she yelled at the young man standing in front of her.Carnation frowned even more as the young man only said, "I'm sorry.""Why did you bring me here?" she asked and looked around. It was only now that she could take a closer look at the great Mr. Lust's room; the first time she entered this room, she couldn't even look at it."What are you doing?" Suddenly the young man took off his clothes in front of her without saying a word."Undressing myself?""I know! I mean, why are you undressing in front of me!" She didn't even know where to focus because of Luca's fine body. "What? Dress up Luca!""It's too boring if we just hang out here doing nothing," Luca said, not stopping to remove the covering from his body."Stop saying that, and stop taking your clothes off!""I'm not scared of you," Luc
"Likewise," Carnation replied defiantly to Tilaine, ignoring her evil gaze. Yes, Tilaine is more beautiful, sexy, and wealthy, but she isn't going down without a fight! This is nearly perfect... Tilaine has everything a person like her who has been deprived by the world in many aspects of life could want. But she had the courage to fight the woman because she knew she would be the one to win Luca's heart in the end.A mocking grin was Tilaine's response to her. It crossed its arms in front of the chest. "That's good to hear. We don’t have to like each other. I think you know the real relationship Luca and I have." She was momentarily stunned but nodded softly in response to the woman."And are you comfortable with that?" Tilaine's meaningful question. That Carnation frowned. "Don't rejoice just yet because we know I can do something to make him mine, and the wind will change."Carnation couldn't stop clenching her fist. What does this witch want to say in
"Where are you guys?" Carnation asked, frowning on the other end of the line. What time is it? Her friends still are not in the location they agreed. "I thought it was 4 o'clock? What time is it? I have to work at Casa de Lujuria at 6 o'clock!" "How about me? Do you think I don't? We have a performance with Lizette, don't we? Just wait, we're almost there!" RJ said over the phone. They agreed to meet right now, and Vinn, another friend whom Carnation hadn't seen in a long time, is with RJ. "Yes, so hurry up and get your ass here!" "Duh... We'll be fine. You have the Big Boss' heart; he'll not be angry if we're late; after all, you shouldn't be working in Casa de Lujuria because why not, madam," RJ jokes. "Stop it, will you? Bye. Let's just meet here. I'll wait for you guys inside the Cafe," she said, and ended the phone call. Carnation went straight to the counter to order something to drink, and when she saw Angelo, her former coworkers, shocked expr
Carnation quickly got out of the taxi and ran inside the hospital. The nurse in the reception immediately pointed at the emergency room when she asked about the young man. She didn't know what to do, her hands and knees were shaking with extreme worry, hoping Luca's condition wasn't fatal.She looked at several hospital beds, but Carnation did not see the young man. Her nervousness intensified because of this. She felt like she was going crazy with worry, she also asked some nurses but they said the same thing, in the emergency room they said she would find the young man she was looking for.Carnation was tired of running for a long time and she felt that her knee would give up anytime, she could no longer walk. She sat in the chair on the side of the lobby. Exhausted and out of breath, Carnation looked up when she saw a man's shoes in front of her."Hey," it said.Carnation immediately frowned and kicked the young man's knee really hard. The young man sh
"Let's go…" Carnation didn't let the young man in front of him speak. She took the handbag and turned her back on him.Luca, on the other hand, woke up in anger and immediately chased after the girl who left. She's walking too fast, and only caught up with Carnation in the parking area. Luca even gasped for air as he reached for her elbow and made her faced him"I'm sorry. I just didn't really like what he did so I couldn't stop myself from punching him," Luca explained with just gazing at Carnation's eyes. The truth is that his head really heated up when the old man insulted Carnation in front of him. He was not a violent person, but his body moved spontaneously before he could realize and kicked the old man. That old man hit a nerve, though."You don't have to be sorry," Carnation replied gently. Luca frowned as she averted her eyes, but still couldn't hide the tears from her eyes."Hey, why are you crying?" Luca asked softly and gently lifted th
