Adam had excused himself to make a call to Aunt Maggie when Seth did same moments before to use the restroom. Everyone was indulged in one thing or the other to notice any absentee.

True to his words, Seth dashed out of the restroom and headed to the kitchen backdoor nearly unnoticed. There he roamed, disturbed, miserable, and almost at the brink of tears when Julia joined him.

Meanwhile, Adam, who had planned on confronting Seth after seeing him wandering alone for quite some time during his phone call, had made his first step until Julia's sudden appearance.

'What are you doing here? Gianna's starting to wonder what's taking you too long.'

He would've quietly let the two go on with their conversation...or perhaps not. Knowing himself, the weight of inquisitiveness in him was much more than his bones. Adam melted his slim body in the nearest hideout and unguiltily eavesdropped.

Seth raked his hair in frustration. 'This is sick. How much longer will I keep pretending?'

    "Levi Alekseev. Eighteen. Russian...brain freeze."Mikai shook his head. "Family, hobbies, integration...""Oh," The tousled brown haired boy smacked his fingers in remembrance. "Adopted son of the Baby Face Killer, older of two children. I'm—""Who's that?" Sean cut in."He's Imperiya's Almighty Underboss: Alaverdi Alekseev." Mikai clarified.Levi eagerly nodded. "I'm a sucker for parties. Diagnosed with CD: Conduct Disorder. Should explain why I love doing what I do when I get the slightest opportunity," he grinned then abruptly frowned. "Though I barely go on missions on my own, unsupervised, especially when information is expected from the victim. Father fears I'll terminate them before thinking of the most important part which is asking questions." His eyes lit up. "Have you ever tortured someone, Sean?"The mentioned shook his head because even though he thought he did, Sean believed he and Levi had different definitions of the word torture."Then you're missing a whole lot.

  • I love to hate you   Chapter 90

    She was unusually seated in a fetal position on a single wrought iron bed in an immaculate white psych gown. On days she was positioned differently, she would either sit at the edge of the bed and stare blankly at the window or motionlessly stand in the middle of the colorless, lifeless, unequipped, and ammonia-filled room. The only other color that gave the room life was her blue psych gown, but that was on days she wasn't wearing the white one, and sometimes when a visitor brought her flowers, and her nurse was kind enough to put it in a vase, but months had passed since the last visit.When her tiny room didn't smell of pee as a consequence of profound, concentrated, and reflective thinking, it did of disinfectants from thorough cleaning after which she would lie on the cold floor all curled up in recitals of two specific names and the life-mark mishaps that came upon her through one of them. And that was her favorite posture for the simple reason that she felt safer, more defensiv

    It was a warm Sunday night. The housemates had finished savoring one of Mikai's sumptuous meals—another one of his grandma's recipes. The old darling taught her dearest grandson everything she knew about Russian cuisine: It went from the key ingredients and spices for every meal to culinary unforgivable spice combinations in the history of Russian cuisine. All these with hopes of him growing up to be a reputable chef owning a grandiose restaurant. As fate would have it, the old darling rested in the bosom of the Lord when Mikai barely hit fifteen. Everything changed ever since.Keep the Sabbath day holy.All five bodies rested within the four walls of the mansion from dusk till dawn as it had been customary. While Levi and Andrei busied themselves with video gaming, Sean absent-mindedly watched—more preoccupied by how to reach Dominik if he didn't get to him by the end of the coming week than anything else, Mikai tidied the kitchen, and Vadim, present—not training—to everyone's surpri

    Adam has occasionally been acting off lately making Gianna wonder if his condition was gradually deteriorating. In the middle of their conversation, he would zone out and zone back in completely different. He would say things she had no clue about: Once, he mentioned Ethan and both of them living happily ever after, he grieved a certain Leigh who lost her life in a shipwreck. The same Leigh seemed to be coming for Ethan and the little one had to be protected from her at all costs. He talked about mobs, how they were after their lives and how they—both of them— ought to leave the town as soon as possible and went as far as having their flights booked. Each scenario filed in its personality and these personalities altered from anxious to furious to delightful and much more.One time she'd taken advantage of the situation and asked him who Ethan really was."Honey, Ethan is your son. My son. Our son." He'd said this with affection. Then suddenly, in a switch, he looked entirely blank. "S

    "Would you rather take care of yourself or let me do it for you?" Sean asked, comfortably seated on his victim's costly sofa while sipping on a glass of sweet vintage wine he'd had the pleasure of spicing up his entertainment with. "Please don't do this. Let me live. I want to live," the poor stout man pleaded with a fountain of tears and heavy nasal mucus on his face. In his limp hand, broken from Sean's torture, was a gun—His gun—he'd used to threaten his unwelcome visitor before everything backfired. "I'll give you anything you want. Ten times more than what you earn right now. Listen, I've changed many of your fellows' lives; they now live peacefully with their families, where no one can ever find them. I can do the same with you." He searched Sean's face for hope but none was detected. "Let me go this once, and I promise no one will ever see or hear about me again. Just...please don't kill me.""I'll count to twenty; if you're still breathing, I'll take it as an invite.""Please,

    Tempted? Hell yes, he was. But no way would he take advantage of the situation despite her tempting demands and position: he'd pinned her to the wall by her shoulders so she wouldn't slide to the floor. Her head leaned on the wall with her chin slightly tilted. It took every ounce of him not to smash his lips against hers."Where's your car?""Car?...Easy peasy. Car...car...oh, that's carousel. You...can do better...than that." She slurred with silly laughter.Adam asked in frustration, "How did you get here? Alone? With someone?""Tough one." She giggled. "Very very...tough one. Here...umm, atmosphere. Alone...alone...that's tough."Defeated and left with no choice, Adam swept her off her feet and cradled her close to him bridal style."Ouuu...that is sooo...hot. You are so hot and you...you smell sooo good.""God! I shouldn't have let you consume so much.""Is it...is it okay to say you turn me on?" She giggled again. "I've been...been dying to kiss you for...for the lonnnnggest time
