Tears keep on streaming down my face. I fisted my hand gritting my teeth silently. I couldn't stop the rage inside while secretly mourning my loss.
How many lives must fall in front of my eyes just to get the revenge I wanted? Is this my karma from those people who kneel before me begging for their lives?
But I should be the one to accept the consequences and not those people around me, not those whose just trying to protect me.
"What are you doing here?"
I was stunned on my spot when a low-pitched voice echo in the empty hall sounded heavy and deep as if it was coming from a cave. I instantly felt alarmed.
How did he find me? What is he doing here? I thought he left...
I slowly turn to face him, hands fisted. My face is void of expression as I watch his footsteps aiming in my direction. The sound of his heavy footsteps followed the fast beating of my heart which I could not understand where is coming from.
Am I scared of him?
I silently gritted my teeth as he stop in front of me, so close that I could feel the strong presence he exudes. I was about to say something but I swallow my words and a gasp escape my lips when he held my arm and in just one swift move my back is now facing him.
"Sain-"
I was stunned, my words disappear into the air when I felt his strong hand on the slender part of my back crawling slowly towards my waist. I clutch the fabric of my dress, as my breathing changes affected by his mere touch and presence.
"I wonder," I gulp, heart, beating fast.
His voice is devilishly baritone and sounds like a deep rumble from a cavern. He leans closer and I instantly felt his shivering warm breath on the back of my ear. I froze.
"What is my wife doing here early this morning wearing a black long dress as if she's mourning?" He whispers intentionally touching his lips to my earlobe to distract me.
My gaze sharpens.
Does he know something?
My lips form into a thin line, brows furrowed while trying to figure out what he's thinking. I wanted to strangle his neck so bad and just kill him. Unfortunately, that's not the smartest move right now. Once he figures out that I am a threat to his life, he will not spare me. He will kill me in an instant.
A merciless devil like him will not be satisfied just by seeing me tortured yet still breathing. He is a cold-blooded killer, his only satisfaction is when he saw me bathing my blood in exchange for my betrayal. In my state right now, I will not be able to fight back. I haven't regained my strength yet. I cannot outsmart him using this weak body.
"Tell me," he demanded when I choose not to say a thing. "Are you mourning for the freedom that was snatched from your life? Or perhaps you are mourning in advance before you snatch my life?"
My eyes widen and the sudden fear becomes a clear vision in my eyes as I notice the restraining anger in his voice.
Does he know something?
"N-No, it's not- Ah!"I gasp when he turns me around to face him once again. My shocked expression greeted his handsome face that leaning over me. All I could see is danger despite the unrealistic charisma and undeniable beauty that he possess.
"What's with the scared face? Did I just ring the bell?" He smirks.
I shake my head immediately, lost in the sight of his deep soulful grey eyes.
"No," I breathlessly voice out, my mind is stuffed and not functioning well.
I am affected by him and that's something I couldn't deny. Every time he look at me with those soulful eyes, I always find myself drowning in it and I couldn't do anything but withdraw and surrender.
He is my enemy. He is supposed to be my enemy...
"Sain!" I exclaimed and my eyes widened as I lifted my gaze to him.
My breathing turns difficult almost like gasping for air. His hand is mercilessly gradually sliding inside my dress.
What is he doing?!
I tried to stop him but he immediately grab my wrist and pin my arms on my back. I couldn't move. He is towering over me with his tall height, cornering me with his arm that wraps around my waist, giving me a delusion that he's willing to protect me at all cost because I am his wife.
Yeah, I am fucking delusional right now because despite this alarming situation between us, here I am couldn't get a hold of my reverie, and suddenly don't know what to do. For a moment, I suddenly forgot who really I am and how I become his wife.
"Not here..." my voice drop-down.
The heat of his body spread on my skin as he pulled me closer not leaving even just an inch of distance. He is so warm and soothing, urging me to cling to him. The ounce of inhibition that was left to me a while ago disappear like a cloud of smoke on the thin air replacing it with a pleasure that seem so impossible to get back to my senses.
I shut my eyes close at the sound of stiff fabric crumpling by his strong hand. I am supposed to push him away because that's the right thing to do at this moment before he does something more dangerous yet irresistibly arousing. But I just end up calling his name in a tone that is almost like moaning.
"S-Sain please..." I pause and swallow my voice when his hand found its way down to my inner thigh.
Tension and anticipation with his next move curled into my gut. But he leans closer to me instead aiming to rest his chin on my shoulder and whisper.
"Sin is the word that suits me, not sain. I am not someone who will keep you away from evil because I am the devil himself. You know that very well, Little" his voice pierces me once again.
I froze on my spot upon hearing what he said. I was like splash by cold water that drags me back to my reverie.
He was right. He is not a saint nor a husband who will protect his wife. Because he is a sin. A human form of the word sin.
"Let go of me" I dare to stop him before he could move his fingers into the apex of my thighs.
This is not right. This is not what my father told me to do. I should not let him do this to me.
But surprisingly he laugh- a sinister laugh and turn me over that made him face my back again.
"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed in protest.
I struggle into his grip trying to thrash against him but he just held me tightly.
"Stop moving. Fuck it" he curses roughly, hot breath fan against the exposed skin of my nape sending a shiver down to my spine.
"Then let me go!" I insist, frowning.
He laughs once again.
"I can't let you go," his voice changes.
I move my head to look at him over my shoulder.
"What?" I hissed in annoyance.
"I warned you, didn't I?" He pauses. "I told you already that you can't marry me but you still dare to insist thinking that you can seek shelter in my place"
A low chilling laugh filled my ears that made me silently grit my teeth. I know that he was a sin and never will be a saint, not for anyone else, never for me.
I must brace myself for the consequences of this mission. I agree to sell my soul to this devil for the sake of my revenge. Three kisses in exchange for our marriage. A three dangerous kiss of sin.
It was late in the afternoon when I arrived at Costello Mansion. The capacious empty living room greeted me which is no longer surprising. Everyone in this house is busy minding our businesses. I roam my eyes around for a moment before I went to the west wing.I stop when I reach the room located at the end of the hallway. Facing the wooden double door, I suddenly felt hesitant to announce my arrival. My lips form into a thin line and gaze down. I close my eyes for a second before I took a deep breath and knock three times to announce my presence.I grab the knob and push the door open. The deafening silence and aromatic flavor of freshly brewed coffee with a mixture of a faint smell of tobacco greeted me. My eyes automatically look around until they landed on the man who's sitting comfortably on his swivel chair sipping his afternoon boost while reading a document. Luscio Costello. The man in front of me right now is Luscio Costello, the father of the Sintti Crime Organization, one
"But Dad, I don't want to become his wife" I can't help to say. "I'm sure I can find a way to get close to him. There will be a lot of disguises to use except pretending to be his wife"I cannot hide the hesitation plastered on my face. I watch my father stand on his seat and walk slowly towards the single-row bookshelf near the huge glass window. He picks a book and flips it to open it while I am still standing on my spot. "Have you forgotten what I told you fifteen years ago?" My brows furrowed and tighten my fisted hand. My heart skip a bit not sure if it is because I am scared of my father whose face is void of emotion or perhaps I am angry with the idea of marrying an Ildefonso. He turns to look at me."Listen and follow me. And I will avenge you" he gets something inside the book and put it back on the shelf before returning to his seat. "Get this"My eyes went to the thing he handed to me. With my cold hand, I accepted it. Slowly, I look what is it and my body instantly froz
"I'm sorry, Apollo..." I lick my bottom lip and took a deep breath. "But I already accepted the mission and I will be leaving tomorrow"I stared at his deep brown eyes letting him see how desperate I am to avenge my family but he withdraw his gaze, held his head, and step back. "I will convince Dad. I'm sure he can do something for you not to leave and marry that man" he anxiously uttered.I shut my eyes close and calm my breathing. No matter what he did, I won't let him stop me. "I will not let you forbid me" I hissed which made him still.He finally meet my gaze. My eyes become dead with emotion as my lips form into a thin line. I felt the cold night breeze from the open window of his room that mixed with the sudden tension between us. "No one here seems to know how desperate I was. I lost a lot of things fifteen years ago and that was enough. I will not let this chance slip away from me" "Herravie," he called me in a hard tone of voice but I didn't mind it. "I'm going, and no
Standing six feet tall in front of me is a man who possesses unlawful beauty that screams masculinity with deep and fascinating eyes. An expressive set of night sky black orbs that were like two deep pools- drowning and tantalizing but at the same time dark, intimidating, and piercing.We're about five feet apart. But I could perfectly describe the feature of his face that seems sculpted to define the word perfection. He is a gorgeous man, a dangerously gorgeous man. Although he is not saying anything, his mere presence is screaming with danger and roughness. The way he looked at me spoke of unyielding authority and dominance as if he is silently asking me two choices for tonight- take the risk or turn around and back down. "Czar Ildefonso..." I utter in a low tone almost like a whisper. He's finally here just a few steps away from my grasp. Too close enough yet seems so far from me. I fisted my hand.He lifted a brow and that's when I notice the slit on his right eyebrow that made
He stood on his seat, and my eyes automatically follow his movement that exude sexiness and grace at the same time. The thin lines on my forehead deepen as I watch him carefully fixing his collar. Everything about this man screams authority, valor, and power. But despite his rough and intimidating physical features and presence, with that look he possesses, I doubt if he failed to draw attention."Where are you going?" I snap when he walks towards the door.I didn't hear his reply instead he open the door and walk away. My eyes widened and instinctively get up from my seat to follow him. He walks so fast and I am having a hard time catching up with his pace. He's a freaking tall man and I am way too small compared to his gigantic figure, of course, he can walk fast.Damn it!I run when he strode out of the restaurant and before he could step inside the black car that was waiting for him, I did my very best to grab his arm to make him stop."What the fuck-""I'm willing to do anything,
My eyes widen in disbelief but Sain Czar Ildefonso doesn't seem bothered he looks serious right now while eyeing me intently. "Three- what? Kiss " I stuttered, still couldn't process what he just said. Three kisses? What will he do with that three kisses? Is he insane? "That's my price for this bargain" he casually replied, Only three kisses as a price for this bargain? I mean, three kisses sound weird but that is just so simple! Every woman can give him that even without this deal. He's Sain Czar Ildefonso after all, women will line in front of him for sure. Is there a hidden plan behind that three kisses? I gaze at him suspiciously but the slight grin plastered on his lips remains as if he is enjoying watching how puzzled I am right now. "Just a three kiss?" I can't help to unbelievably blurt out. "Why?" He smirks. "Do you want more than a kiss?" My eyes narrowed. Is he making fun of me? "That's not what I mean," I defend myself. "This sound ridiculous" My voice
'I need three kisses every day. That's the only way you can have me as your husband'I close my eyes tightly to erase the image of Sain Czar Ildefonso inside my head. What I want to do right now is to rest, and appease my mind about the conversation I had with him. I don't want to remember his face. The twitching of his lips is bothering me. His intense stare that piercing deeper into my soul, and I wanted to avoid it. But unfortunately, I'm drowned with those beautiful deep dark grey eyes that he has.I calmly breathe and open my eyes. If I were to decide, I will never marry him. I don't want Ildefonso's name to stain mine. I know there is another way to get a hold of them, but of course, I cannot defy my father. I need to marry him because that's what he told me. The only thing I can do to repay everything they've done for me is to follow everything that they told me. I almost run out of life, but Costello added a lifeline to my almost end season. Also, this mission is the beginnin
