28. His Death
"Leave us alone," I ordered my men, I then removed the gloves on my hand as I stare at him-- helplessly lying on the ground, unable to move. I croaked my neck to the side as I scan his body his shirt was full of bloodstains from his wounds. I crinkled my nose as I can smell the dried blood and fresh blood from him.
"Livv Timothy Markovs," Saying his name out loud, I then reach for the dagger place on the suitcase above the table, playing it with my finger. "You had no idea, do you?" I asked, mocking and laugh a little as I look at the dagger in my hand.
"You have to be careful who to trust," I said, the side of his lips tugs upward as he laughs mocking my question, I look at him as he cough in blood, raise his gaze to me and look me directly in the eyes.

I am listening to his continued nagging. I rolled my eyes and lean on the sofa."How will I explain to Livv that you almost got killed!" Henry, my cousin said as he strokes his hair pacing back and forth. I chuckled at his hysteric nagging and looked at my bruises which I got from disobeying his command."It's a clear order, Roanna I just said don't leave my sight and behave but what did you do? You got distracted by just seeing a stray cat!" He added, probably not amaze on what's the reason why I nearly got killed by those men who chased me after they've seen my face."Hey!

She's carrying two boxes. One looks bigger and the other is a box that as size as a shoebox."Senorito said that you will wear this tonight at dinner," she said, I then nodded and she gently places the box on the bed and bowed her head after."Thank you," I said and slowly walks to where the box was placed.

What happened yesterday night never leave my mind, I can't forget how his kisses ignited the desires of my soul. I shake my head as I feel my cheeks heated just by thinking of what happened. I sighed and look at the book I am reading."I'll never let you complete me, you may be a part of me but you can't be the answer to the missing piece of me," I read the sentence out loud, I played with the pen I am holding as I grin at the thought of what is written in the book.
