16: First Night, Petty Fight
“Mr. Velasquez said that you may enjoy all the resort’s services for free, Mr. and Mrs. Beaumont. If you need anything, just call customer service on the telephone,” the staff said when we arrived at our room’s door.
The way she addressed us gave me goosebumps. It’s just really strange, you know. Not strange in a good way since I don’t think I would ever want that title for myself. I’d rather marry a beggar than marry someone as cold-blooded as Adam. He has all the riches in the world, alright. But for people like me, money isn’t the center of the world. And a man like him, he for sure will only treat his real wife as slave, which I will never allow to happen to me.
“Thank you,” Adam said coldly.
The staffs bringing our things went in along with us but immediately left. I sighed when I was left with Adam alone again. Every time we are alone together, it feels like the breathable air isn’t enough for both of us. It feels suffocating. Maybe because I’m still in

He was looking at the sea seriously when I turned to look at him. He looked so dark and stern that I wondered what he meant by that. Was I wrong to say that he could never understand me because he didn’t encounter hardships as difficult as mine? Thinking that he might have a rough past for him to say that made me feel guilty. “You’re right,” I managed to finally speak after a while. “I don’t know you that much, and I don’t know what you’ve been through in life. I was just used to, you know, having the mindset that only poor people have a rough past, and that rich people always have better life. For people in the lower crust like me, it’s easier to think that way. Because if we put it that way, we’d always dream for a life like yours. We think of it as a haven, the reason why we can’t see its flaws. We are blinded by the ideals that we tend to ignore the reality.” I looked away and sighed. “I’m sorry if I offended you.” “You tal

“Have you seen that?” I asked Adam while laughing when we entered our room.“Seen what?” He went to the corner table and poured himself some wine. I went to get my own glass. He poured some wine in it too.“The girl, Adam. Isn’t it obvious? She likes you.”He didn’t have any reaction. He only sipped on his wine. “And?”“And what? It’s just a little ridiculous. I mean, I’ve watched several movies with the ‘other woman’ tropes, but I couldn’t believe I experienced it first hand. She was trying to make me feel bad and seduce you the whole time, if you didn’t notice it.” I was still smiling like an idiot. It was such an entertainment. “If you she only knows that there is really nothing going on between us.”I sipped on my wine and traced the lid with my finger.“But honestly, I find her really bold and interesting.

Deceiving the Mafia Lord 19: Way More Dangerous
Adam was already on the bed when I went out of the bathroom. Wearing my pair of mickey mouse pajamas, I sat on my space while drying my hair with a towel. He’s facing the ceiling with his one arm beneath his head. His eyes were close and his eyelids are steady so I think he’s already sleeping.I have no problem sleeping in the same bed with him, though. The bed is spacious enough for us to have our own spaces. Besides, he’s steady when sleeping. I wonder if I move a lot, or if I snore. Mom always says that I move a lot before. We only have one room in the apartment we used to live, that’s why we only share. I love sleeping with her so it wasn’t really a big deal.The devil looks like an angel when sleeping… I said on my mind while staring at his face.I wonder if he ever had loved someone before. Or if he was ever loved.Peter told me everything about Adam that I need to know, but he didn’t mention anything about
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 20: Colorful Past
Katherine and Adam in their past lives... My head was aching badly when I opened my eyes. I knew at once that I was in a grand unfamiliar room I've never visited before. A golden chandelier was hanging above and the intricate details of the furnitures and every corner reminded me of the Victorian style. But even though it looked classic, it also has a bit of modern touches. Sure, it was a good place to sleep in, but where was this place exactly? As I rose slowly in a sitting position, the double doors of the room opened. A man in an all black attire went in. He was wearing a black turtleneck, black slacks and black overcoat. One look and I knew he was close to my age. A few years older than me at least. He was tall, lean and his chest was broad. He looked strong. My gaze then climbed to his face and found a pair of raven brooding eyes. His features were marked with hardness, especially his angular jaw that brought enough manlin
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 21: Monster
"You are still confused, I see. To cut the story short, Vienna's subordinate, the one with her when she attacked you and your werewolf friend, bit you. He wasn't actually thinking of sparing you, but then I came and disturbed his supposed to be peaceful meal. I got you afterwards and the vampire's venom was incredibly spreading so fast in your body. Knowing that you will turn to a newborn soon, I couldn't just leave you around Lynnwood. Newborn vampires who just went through transition can't control themselves and would likely end up hurting anyone. That's why I brought you here to my residence instead."I turned into a vampire.I loved the idea back then, but now, why does it terrify me?I still couldn't bring myself to believe everything I've heard, but when I realized how my throat felt like all this time, I came to understand that this wasn't just some sort of a prank. It was real. I really turned into the creatu
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 22: Into the Darkness
The color of the sky started to turn dark, the continuous feral waves came crashing to the shore as the loud thunders echoed like roars of evil haunting my soul.Though, the raging storm didn't scare me. It never did. What scared me were the two creatures standing right before me, eyes reflecting the color of blood, ruthlessly craving for my death.There was no doubt, I'd die tonight. With these merciless creatures, I had no chance of escaping.Even if I ran with the fastest human speed, still, I won't be able to get away.Maybe... maybe if I was just a little bit cautious, I wouldn't be in this situation.But then, going back to the reason why I was suddenly exposed to these bizarre things, I didn't regret anything. Stupid as it sounds, but if I'd be given a chance to turn back time, I won't change the things that happened to me.The attackers advanced. Clenching my fists, I closed my eyes,
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 23: Bully
I glanced at the other students but they seemed oblivious on what these guys are up to. Those who noticed were just laughing. None of them paid attention that I am close to being bullied here. They didn't care. I was never been bullied even during grade school. And I'm receiving this kind of treatment now that I'm in college? This is too childish."Hmm. Want to spend the night with me later? Though your boobs are not that big, I think you'd pass. Wanna try? I am a good in making women scream in pleasure," he said with low voice but I'm sure the students around two meter radius heard it.I clenched my teeth as my cheeks flushed in anger. I was never been insulted that way. That was the fucking first time."Really?" I asked through gritted teeth and scanned his body for a brief moment. "You think you can make me scream? With that simple body? I don't think so. My standards are quite high for you to reach."His friends' laughters echoed in the room. The near
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 24: Promise
The boys in front of me were suddenly standing erect, lips are tightly pursed with obvious nervousness etched in their faces. I could hear the footsteps approaching at my back. As I sensed him nearing, I smelled a very pleasant scent, awakening all my senses. It was like a combination of fresh mint, freesia, chocolate goo or something sweet, strong and appealing like an expensive alcohol."W-we were just talking with Everleigh, Carter. Nothing really serious, you know." Clarkson chuckled nervously.His friends stood still like statues, as if they wanted to run but they were trapped. But that did not surprised me. What stunned me was the fact that Carter was here, behind me. Though at the same time, I was relieved."Really?" I could almost taste the sarcasm in Carter's voice, as if he knew better than anyone of us. Like there is nothing in this world that we could hide from him. It was as if he have the means of knowing every
