The limo comes to a stop near the marble ramp, and a guard opens the door for me as I step out.

I sigh as I walk up the stairs and loosen my tie.

It was incredibly boring sitting alone in the office, signing papers, deals, and checks. My wrist is hurting a little. I'm considering working from home for a few days instead of going to the agency. However, I might send Keith occasionally to ensure that everything is running smoothly at the agency and in our system.

Besides, the most important thing

  • Loved by the Villain   Devil

    The thought of Andrew not being able to gain much information from Marcellus’ side has vexed me. It makes me wonder if he really is occupied with money laundering or bootlegging. Or he has found out the truth and is playing along to avoid suspicion.I remember when he talked about making alliances in the Dominican Republic. I wonder if he succeeded, since I had told Keith to raise awareness of this among our men residing there. The chances could be fifty percent.That being said, his primary goal shouldn’t be me. Not now, at least.“Zack, are you listening to me?” Dr Richard’s voice tickles my ear.“Yeah,” I make one last stroke with my razor along my jaw.It’s been an hour since I’ve been talking to him through my earbud.“Are you sure? Because your tone doesn’t say so otherwise,” he states honestly. “Is something bothering you?”I open my mouth to speak, but Dr Richards talks again. “Aah, I guess I know. It’s the conversation about Emily we had yesterday, is that correct?”“I suppos

    I don’t think Zack was lying about predators being among these wealthy people. I often caught some staring at us; their glare was sharp enough to slice through my soul. At certain moments, I felt paranoid. But Zack looked completely unbothered. Of course, I supposed it wasn’t something new for him.“I hope you enjoyed the meal, Ms Whites,” the waiter grins, earning a smile from me.“I did,” I glance at Zack. He’s standing at the counter and talking with the manager. He had arrived shortly after we were finished eating.The man appears to be in his sixties. His white hair is neatly slicked back, and his white stubble is well-trimmed. He’s wearing a teal suit. I can tell this man must be old, but he possesses attributes of elegance, just like Zack.The manager smiles widely as he and Zack shake hands. And then I look at the waiter again.“Please, visit again,” his dark brown eyes glisten with purity as I nod.“Shall we go now?” I turn around and see Zack standing behind me. He stretches

    The sun is shining so brightly today that I feel positive. The atmosphere also feels so friendly that I want to throw off my bedsheet and quickly walk out of the building to take in the morning air.“Ow,” I wince a little as the nurse takes out the needle from the back of my hand and presses the cotton on it to prevent the blood from bleeding out. Then, in a few seconds, she puts on a small round bandage after removing the cotton.“There you go,” she smiles at me.My eyes dart to Zack and Dr Richard talking in the corner. Their voices are barely audible, which makes me curious about the topic they are discussing.I deliberately clear my throat loud enough for them to hear. They both turn to me.“Can I join the conversation?” I raise my shoulders.“Of course, the conversation is about nothing but you,” Dr Richard chuckles as he approaches me. “You know how much Zack cares about you, so he was asking about the precautionary measures you gotta take while the therapy goes on.”“And what a

    AT NIGHT…I peek through the door and watch Emily sleep peacefully, which indicates she doesn’t have abdominal pain anymore. I close the door quietly with a soft thud and bring the phone to my ear.“Yeah, she’s asleep,” I tell Keith, who has just been on the call with me.“And what about you? Aren’t you gonna take a nap?” he asks.I walk through the corridor, my leather shoes’ heels click against the smooth marble. The hospital is quiet because of the few people present, most of whom are nurses looking after the patients.“I don’t feel sleepy,” I mutter as I reach the waiting room and take a seat. “Uh…You tell me, how’s everything going there? Any news?”“Nope. Marcellus has been really quiet lately,” he informs me. “Andrew told me that he’s been focusing more on money laundering than plotting against you. He even said he barely speaks about you.”“Huh? Are you sure about that?” I raise a brow.“Yeah, I guess?” he mumbles as if doubting his own words.I know he wouldn’t let go of me l

    “A late-night blast ripped through a disused warehouse near the Thames. Detectives believe the sight was used for illegal arms deals between rival crime families,” I mumble to myself as I flip through the newspaper.Ever since I arrived in the United Kingdom with Emily, I feel as if I have lost my touch with the mafia. Except Keith keeps me updated about Marcellus, that’s all. Rest, I don’t know what’s going on.“Cookies?” Richard offers me as he sips on his coffee.“No, thanks,” I shake my head, still focusing on the newspaper.God, the constant chatter of the people makes it hard for me to concentrate on reading the paper.Yeah, I had asked Richard if he would like to come to the cafe with me while Emily has her meal and will probably rest afterwards. Now, here we are, sitting outside the cafe.As I finish my tea, I shove my hands into my pockets, take out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Holding one between my teeth, I light it. Inhaling the smoke once, I instantly pull out by h

    Zack sits on the stool, pulling it closer to my bed. His face is looking calm for the first time in a while. But that doesn’t mean that deep down he isn’t stressing himself out. At least, that’s what I think.He rests his hands on the bed, and I move mine on his.“Does it hurt, right now?” he asks, looking at me. “Your stomach?”I shake my head. “I’m fine—” I pause and slightly lean forward.“What?” he shrugs.“Your eyes…Zack, don’t tell me. You were… crying?” I ask, sounding distraught as I notice the redness in his eyes, which normally happens due to crying.“What? No! It’s just…” he chuckles as he rubs his eyes. “Something got in my eyes.”“Oh, yeah?” I raise a brow.“Well, then, your hospital stays will not be more than three days, I guess.”“Don’t change the topic,” I frown at him.On our way to the hospital, Doctor Richard told me that I would only stay in the hospital for a few days. After that, I can come for therapy from home.“Listen to me, Zack, if you stay like this, then I

    “Do I sound like I care about him right now?” I speak through my phone, which is squeezed between my shoulder and ear, while I flip the pancake with a spatula, using one hand and holding the pan with the other. “And what do you think I told you to look after?”“I know, I’m just saying be careful,”

    I was planning to go after Fernando after I was done with Noah and his other men. However, when Emily told me about her condition, I went numb, my chest ached but I refused to let pain be visible on my face. Her words sliced through my heart like a sharp blade and at that moment it felt like nothin

    “Emily?”I hum in sleep.“Emily, wake up,” someone says softly and I feel the warmth of someone’s skin against mine. Someone cupping my face and pushing back the loose strands of my hair.I know who it is.I open my eyes slowly and my gaze meets Zack’s hazel eyes. He’s sitting next to me on the bed

    I switch to the food channels and toss the remote on the table. Leaning back on the couch I watch the old woman cook and discuss the ingredients she’s using to make the dish.I have been rotting on the couch for more than three hours. I don’t feel sleepy either. I drank two cups of herbal tea but I
