เข้าสู่ระบบ“How dare they lay their filthy hands on my woman?!!”Rebecca walked into the bathroom, holding in her tears as well as she could. The moment the doors closed behind her, her tears began to pour down her face without control.She tried hard to suppress her sobbing, and choking noises escaped her throat.Staring back at her was her reflection in the wide and clear mirror. She knew Diego had only said those words to push her away, but neither of them was a lie. In her reflection, she saw every single thing he said.“Dad…” Weak sobbing escaped her throat as she choked on her tears.The high-quality mascara remained fixed in place no matter how hard she cried. That much she was thankful for.“I don’t know what to do anymore…” She said to her reflection. “How am I supposed to live on? With this… this guilt inside of me. I failed you, Dad. That man…”She paused, thinking back to the pain she saw in Diego’s eyes. “That being.” She rephrased. “He’s a terrible, terrible creature. He hurts me s
“Hurting you is the only way out for you. Pain is salvation.”–Diego watched as bitter tears rolled down her face. All she wanted to do was provide him with solace, but he didn’t need it.He didn’t need her.The only way to make her go away was to convince her to go away on her own.His hand slipped away from her skin as she created a distance between them, but he didn’t try to stop her from leaving.His face grew cold, just like he wanted it to be. “Don’t talk to me like you know me, Cattivella, you don’t. To me, you don’t even have a name. Your name is whatever I call you. You’re an object.“So next time, make sure you do everything you’re told to do like the puppet that you are, or else it is going to cost you so much more than you could ever imagine.”With that, he turned to walk away, but her words stopped him.“What more could it cost me?” She asked in a soft and trembling tone. Her tears poured down her face without control.“What more do I have that you could possibly take fr
“You could have, but you shouldn’t have.”–Rebecca felt the chill of the night flow through her entire body, and she shivered involuntarily. Kill him?She suddenly felt fear creeping up her skin. What if she got caught? Wouldn’t they slit her throat before Diego would even think of coming to save her?She felt her stomach churn, and she wanted to throw up.The feeling of sickness remained with her all through the rest of the secret meeting. The major revelation had been given, and she couldn’t find it possible to focus anymore on anything else that they were saying.She was very grateful when they finally finished and she could return to the main gala, away from all those monsters in human skin. Especially away from the woman they called Luna.As they took off their masks and returned to the main gala, Olivia kept following her around, wanting to keep small conversations, but Rebecca was far from interested.Not only was she still feeling frightened, but she didn’t want to relate wit
“The evil of politics and tug of power is more overwhelming than any other evil.”–Rebecca felt her blood run cold.Had they already discovered her before she could even do anything? She felt sweat trail down her back and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.She gulped uneasily and tried to notice if anyone else was looking at her. Was it that obvious that she didn’t fit in?“Don’t panic,” a voice in her head said. “It’s not you.” The voice assured.It took a moment for her to calm down and realize that it was Diego who was talking to her. She wanted to ask him how he knew but he read her mind and answered her.“It’s a drill,” he added.Her eyebrows furrowed. What did he mean by that?Almost as if he read through her mind again, he started to explain to her.“It’s a ritual, they say things like that to see who will react. Don’t react. Act naturally. You’re not an imposter, no one there is. You are Sophia Clark and you are exactly where you are meant to be.”Somehow, his words felt
“I feel like an actor in a criminal movie.”Rebecca arrived at the gala a few minutes after Amir came to pick her up.She was so nervous, but she knew she had to do a good job. Not because of anything, but because she didn’t want to disappoint Diego.How foolish.“Just calm down and you’ll be fine,” Amir advised her, noticing that she was nervous. He continued in a soft tone, “If you do a good job, I’ll tell you anything you want to know about Diego on our way back.”Those words caused her ears to prick. Now she wanted to do a good job.They said their goodbyes as she went in. Amir waited outside with the car, posing as her personal driver.The event hall was grand and neatly decorated, but not as decorated as the people. Diego knew what he was doing when he dolled her up.A waiter brought her a glass of champagne, and she accepted it with gratitude.People were making small conversations. The night was growing older by the second, yet Diego was nowhere to be found.Had he not gotten
“Vero amore… True love.”–Diego felt good seeing his old-time friend again; they didn’t get to see each other so often because of the nature of their jobs.Although Amir wasn’t too dedicated to the mafia ways anymore, he had almost pulled out completely ever since he got someone he wanted to protect with his life.His wife.Now they were expecting their first child.Diego was happy for his friend. He owned a private company and ran it with his wife. Amir practically lived an ordinary life now, except for sometimes when he was needed by Diego. He always pulled up for his friend.After Diego risked his life for him, Amir said he owed him his life and would do anything to pay him back, even if it meant giving him his life back.“Amir, my friend,” Diego said. “Take care of her; she’s feisty.”“Can’t be as feisty as Aminah, though,” Amir said, and they both laughed.Aminah was Amir’s wife.Diego waved them goodbye and turned to leave, but little hands suddenly grabbed him.“Wait!” Rebecca
I'll serve you, but you'll wish I didn't. _Diego was out of bed before his alarm went off. He went into his bathroom to freshen up. He cursed underneath his breath as he remembered that he was meant to stay away from baths. He wiped his face and neck and other body parts with a wet towel before
The strongest Man with the greatest weakness. _Diego heard a soft knock on his door and he already knew who it was. Rebecca approached his desk and placed a cup of coffee in front of him.He looked up at her face and noticed something new. Her lips were a deeper shade of red than normal. His brow
“Say my name. Say it once, say it twice.” _Rebecca almost slapped herself right there. How could she think about sex? Sex with a man like… him??? She could feel her cheeks heating up from the irresponsible thoughts that swarmed her head. How come she let herself waver so much? “What are you thi
It shouldn't hurt but it still does_Diego woke up with a soft groan. Opening his eyes, he felt even more tired than he did when he went to bed. How did he get to his room anyway? The last thing he remembered was going to the balcony for a smoke. Rubbing his forehead slightly, he tried to rememb
