"Will you please calm down?!" I shouted at them because this whole thing is fucking irritating me. I turned to have an eye contact with Carter. I heard a low hiss. Must be from Landon. He's a jealous ass, I know. And I feel guilty for feeling good that he has that high regards of me. I will just make it up to him later, when we are alone in my room. "Carter, nothing bad happened, alright. I'm okay—" "Nothing bad happened? Really, Eve? You were abducted by a powerful vampire who has plans to kill your soul so that his mate can take your place inside your body, and yet you are saying that nothing happened? That it is alright? You got to be kidding me!" Jaxon groaned painfully as if my words are irritating him to the bones. I was about to correct Jaxon's words so Carter won't be confused but Carter spoke first so I didn't have the chance to. "What exactly happened, Eve?" Carter demanded. I sighed. "It's true. I was abducted by one of Alec's subor

My brows furrowed when I heard that name. I looked at the habit from which the calling came. But someone else met my sight. It's that woman I saw in that article. Beatrice Gunningworth. The asshole's fiancée.I looked at her intently. She's not just beautiful in the photo. She's really beautiful in person. Her moves are very feminine and classy. Her skin is not fair, but tanned. The body is also tall and has a beautiful curve. And by the way she carries herself, she's truly a fashion icon.My brow shot up at the sight. This time Carter's choice looks good. Far from those low class type of women he had back then. He also has a good family background so he really decided to marry her. Damn that liar. He fooled me with such sweet words, but here I am, looking at his soon to be wife. He is a cheater!My grip on the champagne flute tightened. Why do I even need to see his woman here? Even her mother is also here to almost

"What did he do?" he asked coldly as he caressed my back. I shook and continued to cry."Tell me, Lea. Did he hurt you? What did that demon do to you? I'll gladly kill him for you.""N-No... No, Rios. Take me away from here, please. Bring me somewhere... away from here... Please ... I beg you."He sighs and supports me. He led me out of this place full of pain. I walked without looking back. I was afraid to look back, I would see him and couldn’t help but run back. He's my weakness, the weakness that will drag me down."What happened? Your phone is out of coverage. I was very worried. So I immediately went here to look for you. But I found you in El Fuego. Crying and wrecked just like what you looked like years ago."When we arrived at the hotel he's staying in Manila, he immediately interrogated me. I washed my own palms while sitting on the couch."My cellphone was damaged becaus

My tears flowed. My tears mixed on the saltwater in my face. I no longer know what to believe. I no longer know what to feel. I know I shouldn't trust him. He lied to me about his past. So I should just hate him.But being in his arms again made me feel so weak ... yet safe. His presence carries danger, but now that he holds me tightly, I never felt so secured after those years of suffering. Just now, again. And it was just him, he was the only one who could make me feel like this.He looked at me. I averted my gaze. He touched my chin with his finger and lifted it up to meet his dark gaze."Look at me," he commanded. I secretly thought that my face was wet in the sea water so the crying was not obvious earlier. He stared at me intently."What are you doing?" I asked hoarsely."Staring at my most favorite sight." He remained serious. I was stunned and dazed. Do not be silent.Slowl

"How sweet, you said ma'am you don't have a boyfriend now?" Cleo giggled. His face was red, probably because of the alcohol. Liza slapped him again and told him to be quiet.Carter glared at me darkly.I was swallowed. Now his expression is more angry. And I can't find even a word to defend myself!"I'm not just her boyfriend. I'm her fiancé. We're getting married next month."My jaw dropped. They even dropped their jaws in panic. The glass Vina was holding almost slipped from her hand, the others could not speak in shock. Architect was also surprised. Even me was stunned!“We’re leaving,” he said.He never let me say goodbye to my comrades and guided me away. On our way out, some people glanced at us. There were still whispers that I was sure we were the ones in question. But no one tried to interrupt, not even the women. Maybe it's because of Carter's obvious dark and furious eye
