Chapter 21: Burning Heart
Lance Storm
I came home still thinking about what I did wrong. It was obvious that Ember was avoiding me, ever since last night. And last night we just... kissed. It was more like a brush of lips, but still… that few seconds… they were… indescribable.
"Did something good happen, Lance?" Marie, my caretaker, who has been there with me since my childhood, asked me as she placed delicious food in front of me.
I stared at her, so she could continue talking.
"It's just that you are smiling a lot lately," she commented, which made me furrow my eyebrows.
"Me? Smiling?" I asked her cu

Lance decided to stay last night, and he kept on insisting on sleeping on my tiny couch. But I somehow convinced him to stay in the same bed with me, otherwise, I would chew his brain with my talking. We cuddled a lot. Nothing else happened, though."Lance?" I came out of my room, and there I saw Lance brewing coffee while making breakfast. I hope he was making one for me too."Hey, good morning." He immediately looked up at me and smiled. My heart fluttered. Who knew there would come a day when Lance would be smiling so freely around me?He walked to me as I started to say, "Good morning. The breakfast smells so great&mdas

Chapter 23: Her VillainEmber Corbin"Don't you have a house?" I asked in confusion and looked at Lance, who was now enjoying sitting on the couch."I do, but you're not in there," he said, shrugging his shoulders off like it was not a big deal.I know we were in a relationship right now, but I still needed my privacy. I didn't get it. He had a big penthouse, yet he kept on insisting on staying here. Not that I was complaining, I quite enjoyed sleeping with him. But I mean, I couldn't even call Candy and fangirl about male hot celebrities shamelessly with Lance in the house."Why are you pouting while standing there?" he asked, glancing at me.I sighed deeply. "You're going home tonight," I said, cross

Chapter 24: Painful TruthLance StormEight years ago, I remember a man who had a lot of debt right after I had moved to Vegas for university and to plant my roots in the gang.That man had been off-track ever since, not willing to return even a single penny. I was only eighteen, recently starting to take over Mafia Thunder. Meanwhile, Elian had asked our father for a couple more years to focus on studying before he wanted to join. However, our father taught us both the same ways to rule, so to punish that man, I had to do the same thing every mafia leader would....Eight Years Ago..."So, no one knows where he is?" I asked Arthur while checking the paper in front of me. "So that man has the guts to come and ask for money and then run awa

Chapter 25: Torturous EmotionsEmber CorbinI tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was darkness around me with only one bulb hanging in front of me. It felt like I was kidnapped by Lance. The only difference was the back of my head was still hurting like hell and there was a sticky feeling on my nape as if there was dried blood there.I tried to speak until I noticed that there was something in my mouth. Argh!I slumped my shoulders in defeat, my head aching a lot. My eyes scanned the room one more time to see if I could see clearly this time, but all I could see was endless darkness, which made my heart throb fast in fear.I was running out of breath, and the tape on my m

Chapter 26: Death Over HimLance Storm"Doctor! Where's the fucking doctor?" I hollered.Arthur and Denver were with me while I was carrying Ember's limp body in my arms."What happened? Who is creating a ruckus?” A female doctor came out and immediately gasped as she saw the bloodied woman in my arms. “Let me see the patient." As she approached us, she was so shocked when she saw Ember's condition that she just stared for a few seconds, dumbfounded."What the fuck are you standing here like a goddamn statue for? Save her!"The female doctor took a step back in fear when I yelled at her. I was mad and anxious right now, and the last thing I needed was a doctor who was just going to stare at

Chapter 27: Breaking DownEmber Corbin"The patient needs a lot of rest. If it's possible, you need to lessen her stress," the doctor said in English, his Spanish accent visible in it."Gracias, Doctor," a guy named Matías said with a perfect accent.I was in Spain right now. Lance brought me here. Did he think that bringing me here would help me forgive him? All his efforts are going to go to waste."I'm going to let my wife know that you're eating here," Matías said and smiled at me. I didn't want to be rude, so I nodded at him.When the door closed, only Lance and I were left in the big room. It was so quiet that I could literally hear the busy street downstairs. It was New Year's Eve,

Chapter 28: AcceptanceEmber CorbinI had been trying to talk to Lance since his father came by, but I just couldn't find the right timing since he wasn't looking at me at all. There was this time when Lance made me a cup of coffee, I was about to call him out, but he just quickly walked outside, pretending not to hear me."Lance has been looking after us ever since we started riding. How come you're still not melting?" Maria teased me when we were riding a speedboat in the ocean. Despite the season being cold, it was sunny enough for a boat ride.I smiled at her and looked in Lance's direction over my shoulder and caught him staring at me. I smiled at him faintly, but I doubt he saw that since he averted his gaze at the very moment, I looked at him. That was what I was talking about. He was

Chapter 29: Love and RomanceEmber Corbin"Lance?"I got nervous as Lance remained silent for a few minutes while gawking at me like he couldn't believe it was true. It was almost adorable in a way, but I didn't have the patience to admire his handsome face after waiting hours for him on this chilly terrace; I was sure I was going to catch a cold afterward, but that wasn't what was important at the moment. I had been so worried about him."Say something, will you?"Lance finally snapped out of his trance and asked, "Um, I... I don't get this. Why?"I sighed fondly and walked up to him, taking his hand in mine. "Because I forgive you.""Exactly. W-why?"
