After finishing my business with Enzo, I cleaned the remaining blood from my hands and changed my clothes. The rest was simply doing my boring daily activities.Unlike my two older brothers, who were free to have fun out there, I was confined inside the house for a full 24 hours. Unless there was an important party that required my presence, only then would Papa allow me to leave the house.It seemed that he had almost gone crazy after Mama ran away and left him more than a decade ago. So what he was doing now was building a golden cage for me and letting me rot inside it until I grew old.Not only that, Papa had become crueler toward every woman he encountered. Even in this house, there was only one female servant, Maria, who was allowed to work and serve me.The rest were men. The same went for the housekeepers and the cooks.When I was little, I often whined and asked to play in the garden or go to the mall like I saw on television, but Papa always firmly refused.Instead, Papa bou

A strong smell of blood filled the air as I walked down the corridor of the east wing. In front of Enzo’s room, two guards looked tense as they blocked anyone who intended to force their way inside.“Open the door quickly.”“Miss, Don will surely be angry if you force your way inside.”“Papa isn’t here, what are you worried about?” I looked at them coldly. “Or… don’t tell me you are already brave enough to defy me?”The faces of both guards paled. One of them immediately opened the thick door, allowing me to enter Enzo’s room.“Miss, you could kill him,” Maria whispered when she saw me step into Enzo’s dimly lit room.“Just wait outside if you’re afraid,” I said while glancing at her trembling hands. “I have to teach him an additional lesson so he learns his lesson. Papa is too lenient with him even though he failed to secure the cargo shipment at the port. Ten lashes are still not enough to pay for his mistake.”“But Miss, his back must already be covered in wounds.”“He won’t die ju

My eyes widened, but my mouth immediately smiled. “Why did you come? Is your business with Papa finished?”Enzo chuckled. “It just finished and I rushed here. I’m sure you’re still restless because of what happened earlier.”“Restless? That understates far too much what I’m feeling,” I replied in a sulky voice. I took the pistol from Enzo’s hand; it seemed Maria had forgotten to put it back in its usual place when she brought me tea earlier.“That careless girl,” I grumbled.“You really are careless. How could you sleep without closing the window,” Enzo cut in. Even though I felt he knew I was complaining about Maria.“Who would dare enter the second floor of a house surrounded by so many guards like this?” I answered quickly. “Only you usually come in like an intruder.”“Then why were you startled earlier?” Enzo lifted my chin, smiling crookedly so that my eyes were fixed on him.Before I could answer, Enzo already silenced my lips with a kiss full of desire. His tongue slipped in wi

I never intended to kill Enzo. What happened earlier was just an act that I played with him so that people would think we were enemies who were willing to kill each other.My hands felt trembling after gripping the rather heavy weapon. My adrenaline surged, and I was almost hysterical when I saw blood dripping from Enzo’s ear.Even a single drop of blood felt very heartbreaking. If it were not for the act we had agreed upon, I would have hugged him and apologized to him over and over again.In the end, I had to control myself with all my strength so I would not scream like a madwoman at seeing my lover injured because of my own actions.“Miss Selena.” Maria called from outside, knocking on the door repeatedly because I did not immediately tell her to come in.Her hoarse voice brought me back to my senses. I got up, letting Maria enter while slightly raising my head so I would still look arrogant.“Who told you to bring tea?” I asked in an annoyed voice.“It is not good for your beauty

“What are you waiting for, Miss? Hurry up and blow my head off so I don’t have to wait too long.”I bit my lip upon hearing the low voice that challenged me back. Its owner, a tall and burly young man, looked at me with a disdainful gaze from the first floor.“If you are not sure about your decision, move aside quickly. I have to meet Don Moretti immediately.”Enzo walked up the stairs one by one, his eyes staring straight at the muzzle of the silver revolver pointed directly between his eyes.“Do you think I don’t dare?” I retorted with a trembling voice.“M-Miss,” whispered the maid beside me. “Don Moretti will surely be very angry if you kill his trusted man.”“Shut up, Maria! I’m Papa’s beloved youngest daughter. He won’t get angry just because of a useless person like him!” I snapped.Maria’s courage seemed to immediately shrink, and she took two steps back so I would not direct my anger at her.“To me, you’re nothing but a traitorous dog who came crawling and begging for a new m
