Wearing a floral summer dress paired with my white-heeled sandals, I step out of the car and casually roam my eyes around. The heat of the sun against my skin is a bit bothering so I start to walk inside the shopping mall where I and Enzo decided to meet. Enzo Stefano from Stefano Crime Family. He's one of my trusted and reliable men. He never failed to assist me in every mission. Meeting him today was not my plan knowing that Sain will be back tomorrow but then I received a message informing me about the sudden encounter between Ilde Famiglia and Sintti Organization last night. Jaxer is wounded and Apollo is in the hospital, being aware of it makes me irrational. I can't be at peace if I'm not able to talk to Enzo and make sure that my brothers are fine. I also need to get an important document from him. And last but not the least, I wanted to know if Sain was there during the encounter. Because if he is, then it was my fault. It was my job to spy on Sain and help Sintti to avoid
"She is young master Sain Czar's wife. Lay a finger on her, you will die" I gulp hearing the icy tone of Pierro Gustave. His threat gives me goosebumps and I couldn't help to feel alarmed for Phoebus Romani. "Czar's wife..." He chanted and eye me seriously.I keep my straight face. I guess he didn't know me, after all, I am the invisible daughter of Luscio Costello who works in the shadow of the Sintti Crime Organization.Pierro blocks his view. I couldn't see his face but I could hear in his voice that he was trying to be patient."He likes a fragile flower huh?" He chuckles.I frown. Do I look fragile to him? I can kill people, I don't think that is fragile."I'm not a flower" I intervene. "I'm a torn that could choke you alive until you die" He seems surprised by my brutal words but later on, laugh out loud gaining attention from the people around us."Your harsh and brutal words are sexy. Is that how you lure Czar?"I raised my brows. He's a fucking jerk and not an innocent ma
"Do I really need to move today?" I ask Sain who's comfortably laying on my bed as if he owns everything.I made my voice sound hesitant as if I'm scared with the fact of living inside the Ildefonso's Residence when in fact I have been dying to enter that place.We're inside my room because I am busy packing my things while Sain is on my bed enjoying the soft mattress. I am not looking at him because I could feel his stare at me. His eyes never left me, his gaze follow my every move and that is honestly uncomfortable. "The sooner I bring you home, the better" he utters in his usual calm yet authoritative tone of voice.I glance at him, forehead creased because I could feel that he's being impatient. Did something happen?"Does your Dad know about our contract?" I curiously query."He can't figure out about it" That's a good thing. I don't want him to know either. I stand and breathe out. My attention turn to Sain, just what I expected he was still looking at me. "Are you done?"
The moment I felt his hand on my back, my attempt to complain didn't happen. I swallow my words just like how I swallow the curses I wanted to spit out in front of him. My heart is beating so fast and I couldn't figure out if it is because of anger, nervousness, or the foreign feeling that I couldn't name. My lips form into a thin line, my chin resting on his shoulder. Unconsciously, I grasp the fabric of his clothes tightly while staring at nowhere. I could feel the heat of his body and the bulging muscles of his arms. His breath fanning on the exposed skin of my neck tickles me a little. On the back of my head, I wanted to push him followed by a small voice screaming 'danger' but then I can't seem to move my hands in the way that I should. His effect on me takes control of my senses. My body act on its own and I can't seem to protest. Perhaps, this was the first time I felt someone else's warmth. I didn't know that it feels overwhelming and calming. This is my first time getting
"You don't have to be nervous, Little. You have me, I am your husband" What does it mean? Why does it sound like assurance in my ears? I look into his eyes for a couple of seconds, and slowly, a genuine smile forms on my lips for the first time since we met. I didn't know that I am able to feel at ease with this man for even just a second.He pulled away and my lips move when I realize that he already unfasten my seatbelt. His eyes linger on my face for a while and I saw how the corner of his lips move before pushing the door open. I saw Nicolai approach him and glance in my direction. His formal yet friendly smile greeted me and I nod in response. I step out of the car and took a deep breath. My lips form into a thin line when I glance at the huge fancy mansion in front of me. The exterior design was inspired by Greek architecture that almost looks like the Costello Mansion. I was not surprised when I notice those numbers of men in black standing like a statue in each corner becau
"It was a wife's responsibility to give her husband a child" he stated. "It's part of your responsibility, darling. Have you forgotten condition # 2?"A hint of mischief crossed his eyes while staring at my stunned reaction. A bomb seems like explode inside my head and it was Sain Ildefonso who throw that bomb. He's quiet but his full attention is focused on me as if he was fascinated by something- it's either my face or something that I am not aware and he's the only one who knows. "You're serious?" My voice shook and I saw how he haft-bit his lower lip and sexily released it slowly."Do I look like I'm joking, woman?" He fireback, flashing a grin on his somewhat serious-looking face.I expelled a breath and shake my head."You fooled me!" I blurt out. "You created that contract because of a malicious intention" I accused him.How could he? How come I get fooled by his misleading contract? Does Nicolai know about it? Is that the reason why he was eager for me to sign the contract?
I smile at the lady helper after she finished setting the table. I am left alone in this huge dining room because Sain suddenly received a call which I think is important because of the sudden changes in his expression. The food looks appetizing but I couldn't seem to find myself eating. I don't know, perhaps I was being cautious because I am suspecting Sain, my suspicion is giving me hard time to relax and calm down. What if he knows something? What if I was the one who fall into his trap and not the other way around? I press my lips together and fisted my hand that is resting on my lap. Minutes has been pass but he's still not around so I stand on my sit and follow the direction where he takes the call. Just like what I thought, there I saw him standing back facing me."Sain?"He froze and then later on turned around to face me. My gaze landed on the phone he was holding that he immediately put inside the pocket of his jeans before the playful smirk spread across his lips."Did yo
"Now that we're done discussing the house rules. Why don't you give me my daily dose of vitamins as part of my dessert?" I fell into silence with his words. Why do I always forget that I must give him three kisses every day? I stare at him for a short moment and my eyes accidentally landed on his lips that forming a grin. My pulse quicken so I withdraw my eyes and meet his gaze. I sigh and force myself to get on my feet. I went to him that formed a gorgeous smile on his face. Without saying anything, I tiptoe and reach to reach his lips. I didn't struggle like the first time because it was like an instinctive response from him to bend down and meet my lips haft way. Our lips once again collide which creates an electric shock wave to my nerves. A shiver run down my spine so I automatically retreated back to give the distance between us. My heart is pounding so fast, couldn't hide the temptation that trying to drown me. Huh, I didn't know a kiss could be tempting. "Shit, what did I
