When Mellow Fanning married Zeath Lupin, the cold chairman of Lupin Group, she thought their love was forever. But everything crumbled when he introduced his pregnant mistress at a family dinner.
Angry, Mellow sought to make Zeath restless by kidnapping the mistress. However, that resulted in a tragedy that nearly claimed her life and that of the child growing inside her—a child Zeath didn’t deserve.
She faked her death and ran away, bound to return as Zeath’s only means to remain as the chairman of Lupin Group.
Would he recognize her? Would she accept his apology if he ever gave one? And what would happen when the threat she once fled from rekindled, endangering her and her child’s lives once more?
>>>>>
“Do you know how much I wished you wouldn’t come near me, or even... touch me?” Zeath drones on. “All those cuddles and kisses, all the affection, made my skin crawl—like a troll embracing its victim before gobbling them. One can only imagine how much it stinks. You are no different from that troll. You merely caught my attention because you were a self-absorbed twonk, and we needed to test if you even had the heart to love another.”
“We?” I croak out.
Then Zeath’s fingers trail gently along my face, his eyes glinting with pure poison, and his voice is no better.
“Poor Mellow, it is all a dare, a gratifying one. Divorce or not, it’s your choice.”

Chapter: Am I A Criminal For Falling In-love?Everybody knows about House Fanning’s abstinence rule, which is why the internet always fusses big time on a Fanning woman’s marriage.People joked about the rule, creating memes to satisfy their bloody humor. If only they knew what really happened behind the formal facade. Anyways, it’s not as if they care, seeing as they are fucking applauding and cheering to the announcement of my death—that I can’t help but laugh at.“Let’s keep moving,” I tell the driver while wiping tears off my face.The media wanted a scapegoat after my sex video was posted. They wanted something fun to look forward to. My father provided them with just that by making this goddamn video. Who knows what political shenanigans is going on behind the scenes; what dirty secrets they’re trying to hide by getting the mass distracted. And who knows whose body is being burnt in place of me? I don’t know if this is my father faking my death or someone has just fucked with their orders and got me out. Whichever one

Chapter: MELLOW FANNING LUPIN IS DEADA harsh ringing in my head says I’m fucked. Too fucked. My back aches so bad, and where I’m lying on feels moist and hard, carrying a metallic musky smell that leaves me heady.Opening my eyes, I find the place is dim and foggy. But it doesn’t mean I don’t see the little pools of water at different spots on the floor, which are probably from the drops leaking through the ceiling.I try to sit up with a groan. Large space full of undecipherable stuff. Metals walls. Ceiling made of iron rods. This is no other than a warehouse. These bastards fucking brought me to another warehouse? What now? Will they dig my grave here and bury me alive? Or will they set the whole place on fire?My escape is in front of me though—an ajar door letting in harsh sunlight. I could run and get away from all this. Who knows if this is my one chance to live.I cough as I get to my feet, dragging the latter toward the entrance before something catches my attention. There’s a floor-length mirror with a missin

Chapter: WHATEVER IT IS, I'M DEADMELLOW.They say time flies so fast. But, to me, a minute seems like a day of lingering pain. Thunder bolts and lightening ruling at my top, agony and inferiority sinking below.I was in the cube box before I suddenly blacked out. Waking up now, I find I’m in a new space. The walls are an unblemished cream, yet it’s the crystal clear ceiling that catches my attention.I don’t know how it was built. It looks like a dragon inhabits it, and the fiery paint splashed across it in the shape of many dancing swans is the creature’s proof of its wrath.As I hear footsteps approach from the hallway, I only notice where I am. This isn’t my home, though the design can only be a Lupin house. It isn’t Mama Tia’s either.Did Zeath bring me to one of the Lupin’s other buildings that he inherited? Because I’m certain he won’t bring me to his mom’s or his brother’s.“Hi, Melon,” East’s voice comes through the open door. I sit up to find him standing there—the ever dumb man with the demeanor of a mafi

Chapter: ZEATH'S POVZEATH.“How about Yolie?” Mellow asks, her soft and pure eyes divulging all that there is in her mind. Fear. She’s terrified—of me, of what I could do. If only she knew what really awaits her; and it’s not the divorce papers she may be expecting. Of course, she’s going to live each day thinking I may serve her divorce papers. But she won’t see what’s coming.“I… will take care of her…” I couldn’t complete that sentence. I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise now, would I?She keeps looking at me with innocence in her eyes. But maybe it’s why I despised her in the first place. I’ve not always inclined to those who look guiltless. No one is ever not guilty—that’s what I think. And I hate it when some people can mask their sins. Yolie has a mild face, her attitude however says different. Unlike Mellow, she shows what she really is. But if anyone told me Mellow would do what she did to her, I wouldn’t believe, as her pure looks are deceiving, as well as her character.Arriving at my ma

Chapter: SOME SHARDS FOR MY HEARTZeath pats my head, letting me rest my jaw on his palm. He remains silent as he stands properly with me in his arms before heading outside the warehouse. It’s dark already, and there are slight traces of a storm. Hopefully, it won’t meet us while we’re still down here.“Up there, what do you see?” Zeath jerks his head upward, and I squint my eyes into the dark to stare at the glass windows.“Our matrimonial… room?” I respond hesitantly.Zeath huffs a smile, looking at me. “You’re shaking. How do you feel?”I didn’t know about that. But… “Optimistic,” I say anyways. The man cocks his head before I whisper, “scared.” That’s pure honesty. I am scared.He draws his face close and pecks my lips. “I want you to keep your eyes above you.” He jerks his head toward the windows again. “I have an encouraging surprise for you.”Zeath gently lets me stand before leading me into a small glass cube attached close to the warehouse exit. When he tries to walk away, I hold him by the arm. “How abou

Chapter: BREATHE, MELLOW“Oh, boy. It’s punishment to hold back, don’t you think?” I drawl, taking cautious steps toward Zeath. Standing in front of him, I slowly unbutton his shirt before closing in to kiss his chest. “I need you to succumb to your pleasure...” I blow the sleeping hairs on it. “...and mine.”Zeath grunts as I struggles to take the shirt off his ripped torso. He’s looking down at me through narrowed eyes charged with temptation. And now his bare body, the sweat rolling down his tan skin, coupled with the defined muscles of his face and neck, would sooner drive me mad with lust.Or they already have.My hands cup his face like tiny strokes on a beautiful stone, feeling his soft stubble down to his long neck. His collarbones are clear-cut. They give way to his broad shoulders, arms, forearms, and thick wrists, which I grab.“Will you derive comfort by doing it yourself?” I ask.Zeath moves his left hand while my right fingers still clasp around the wrist. He slides it into his boxers, and I wa

To Put A Leash On The Master
“Heidi, call me a monster. Call me a beast. Fuck, call me the Devil. It does not change the way I feel about you.”
“How about the way ‘I’ feel about you?” I whisper. “This hatred—built from love, passion… trust.”
Hunter gently takes my hand and interlocks it with his before placing both on his chest. He then leans down to bump his forehead on mine, making me close my eyes and sigh as it drives in me sensations that cause me to crumble. “I love you, Heidi…” he whispers—doesn’t do good for my eyes bleeding more tears. “…and I will let the world burn for you.”

I’ve lived twenty-two years but never seen a man like Hunter. He has killed everyone I know and is bound to do more, which is why I’m determined to stop him, if only I wouldn’t have to deal with these emotions—old feelings clashing with new ones; love and hate—that make me want to squash his heart one moment, then piece it up the next. But I know I can’t hang between these feelings forever. I have to choose, and quickly.
H U N T E R
I am told she is dangerous, a being forbidden from existence. Yet, I find myself protecting her. I shouldn’t, but I do. Then I realize she isn’t the threat. Where danger lies is with my feelings—ones that I must not have, that will be my downfall.
To be that creature feared by all, I need to be the man with nothing to lose. But now I have so much to lose. Even nature has fated our Love to be doomed and will see to its vow that one of us is destroyed.

Chapter: An Accomplice Of DarknessThe hallway echoes the footfalls of stomping darkness.But as the mute walls give way to the caress of a slow and brooding piano motif, the huge, two-way door at the hallway’s end brings us the pleasantries of a room screaming sanity and proper celebrations.A descent of steps in front of me leads to the dance floor, where pillars are still but bodies swing. With the roof high and unending, the floors are as slippery as the devil’s tongue, absolutely unfit for a person to walk on.Except these aren’t people. No, they’re not. They look paradisiacal. Vibrant despite the hall’s caliginous state.As the ladies trip the light fantastic to a hypnotic rhythm, their bowl dresses swirl around their feet, their long and colorful strands like air behind them. The smiles capturing their countenances tell the tales of their light minds, charming the gents who look graceful in patterned tailcoats over black pants.Their light tones unite to battle the funereal aura of the hall, somehow nearly kil

Chapter: Turn Me Above A FireNot a familiar name, that one. I’ve heard nothing of it until now.Maybe he didn’t make it to the history books. It could be about the empire; history must have registered the empire instead.But I must find a way of asking about it without compromising myself. That way, I can also note this woman’s level of intelligence.“Um…” I clear my throat, shuffling to the stool I once sat on and placing my hands on it to drop my weight. “My ‘experiments’ have eaten most of my time, and I’m probably too exhausted to recall a lot of… things.” Wait. Do I sound medieval enough? “Did I... have any plans for today?” Does she understand? She’s looking at me with her lips slightly parted, and I think it’s disbelief, especially since her hands have stopped working.“Queva,” she says, then rests against the counter. “Finish the Battle of Cutting Seas, conquering Queva. Then... celebrate... with the emperor. Your experiment’s progress has not fared well of late, and you needed to ease your mind. Seeing

Chapter: Dead And AliveHEIDI.The rich, warm scent of soil, of fresh rain on earth, reminds me of how it feels to be alive.It looks to me like I’ve been thrown into a random fiction series—dark fantasy, to be precise. Should I say it’s the underworld? Nah. The underworld wouldn’t look this good. Heaven wouldn’t be this bad(?) either. Between? Maybe. But I can’t recall whether Philosophers mentioned a place between the two.Regardless of what this is, it’s a surety that I’m dead. Its near ruin of greys and ashes, mists and moisture, stones and bristled grounds, only makes me thank my shoes—and a soul that had formed a sole to tread on melting metal.I find I’m standing in a lone and narrow medieval street that looks like a painting, flanked by dark, imposing brick buildings. Their pointed roofs give me chills, especially as they look as if they could pierce the looming, twilight grey sky until it releases the clouds upon my very head.Speaking of the sky, I don’t know if I should tag it sunless or moonless.

Chapter: Lunacy Meets Obsession“Another blood oath? I resisted the first,” I say as I look at the Umbra Crown who is suddenly bearing an excited demeanor.“Ah, ah. This one is different.” He rubs his index and thumb fingers like a chef warming up for his next delicacy, disappearing and appearing in the fog while scurrying around pillars. He suddenly stops close to me, sniffing near my neck. “It is like… an awakening. Hah!”Then he vanishes again.When he comes back, it’s with a ring this time, one the size of his head. Its property is unknown, but it shimmers with lights that seem alive, looking like a colorful snake slithers inside it.The object could break if it falls; that is how fragile it looks. The Realm’s Future, they call it. It is also the only thing with color in the Labyrinth, aside from the Umbra Crown’s golden eyes that are now peering at my face pores.“No,” I mutter when he tries to crown me with the ring. I know what it does to people. It deceives. “Do not manipulate me with that thing again.”“O

Chapter: Hunter's POVHUNTER.There is a forlorn whistle; a tune sounding like a call for help, only, it’s not that.It is a bird―Tapi’s Fury. A creature of the dark, built like the nightingale, with a song as loud as the latter’s. It’s never found in the human world or the Realm. Tapi’s Furys are known to exist only in the Labyrinth of Shadows―a dreaded dwelling created by the legendary sorcerer, Tapi, to shield Kings of the Realm from the talons of Firnes.It has endless pillars—of roughly stacked stones—spread out in rows through the Labyrinth, all leaving four paces between each other.The pillars’ tops reach the sky where they disappear in black clouds of rumbling mess, while their bases are rocks shaped like vines, stretching out as roots on the dry, rough ground.One distinctive feature of the Labyrinth is its colorless nature.Diverse smell is not a leisure either.One could wear whatever scent they liked. As strong as it may be, it all ends in a blast of roasted earth breathing in the wake of a b

Chapter: The Last Sound I HearMy car’s parked across the road with me in the driver’s seat. White’s main company building overlooks us, the road partition and the crowd serving as my only blockade to it.I should ride into the building’s garage. It’s safer now, after all, as the police are now limiting the severity of violence and have placed barriers so the crowd won’t obstruct people getting in and out of the building.But I’m still feeling like a tightrope walker; afraid of so many things at once that I can’t begin to point them out.And yet what’s more disturbing is the wailing throng. Their famished appearances, coupled with the fact that most have slept here for days because they can’t return home and be reminded of their deceased loved one is enough to drive even the cold-hearted to sympathy. Hunter excluded.While watching the hectic scene, I notice an odd person cut through the crowd into the building. I only saw their backside. Yet, regardless of them being fast, I caught that the person was a male.He wo
