The door is wide open as Keith and I stride inside the brightly lit room, my hands shoved into the pockets of my blue jeans. The room buzzes with people—cameras, crew members, and the audience filling their seats. My eyes scan the place carefully, and my footsteps are steady and deliberate as I move through the crowd.

“Being here alone without security… I don’t like it, “ Keith mutters under his breath, which is clearly audible.

I glance at him as a smirk tug at the corner of my lips. “Relax, It

  • 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

    I will start going back to the floral shop tomorrow. Zack might get upset about this, so I prefer not to mention it to him. Besides, going to work is just a distraction from what happened. I can’t shake off the feeling of being scared. Their voices still echo in my head, and I want to find a way to

    I glance at the little girl, who is settled in my lap comfortably yet scared. Her head rests against my chest as I hold her close to myself.“What is the child’s name?” the officer asks. My gaze shifts to him again.He looks like he is in his mid-twenties, holding a pen and sitting straight in his cha

    Emily lets out a painful hiss as I carefully stick the bandaid on the cut she has on her forehead.“There,” I murmur, cupping her face afterwards.I insisted a lot that I would call my personal doctor for her check-up, but she straight up refused. I didn't argue further because she looked fatigued.See

    I drop the phone in my lap. A sob escapes from my lips. Now how will I get out of here? Those guys are searching everywhere for me. Probably. I don’t think they will quit until they stain their clothes with my blood. On the other hand, Zack’s phone is switched off. I think his phone battery must
