Chapter 28: Acceptance
Ember Corbin
I 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

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?"

She looked so happy while holding a bouquet of roses."You look so pretty!" she exclaimed and jumped at me in excitement. Luckily, I'd been working out these past few days, so I managed to catch her and return the hug. I had to thank Lance for forcing me to stay in shape even after the self-defense classes were over."I told you this gown will suit you better," she commented while checking me from head to toe.I was glad I listened to her as well. This gown was so magical. It was an off-shoulder dress, and the sleeves were attached to my arms, not on the dress. This long mermaid gown had these cute details on the tail.

Chapter 1: Fated MeetingEmber CorbinNot again.I peeked at the time on my phone after snoozing off the alarm for the third time. I was supposed to be awake by the first alarm, finish my breakfast by the second, and get out of the house by the third. But here I was, still in bed after the third alarm finished ringing.Jolting out of bed, I ran towards the closet room after freshening up, pulling out all the jumbled-up clothes to find a suitable one to wear. Nothing was up to my mood; I couldn't find a nice dress.As I was getting late for the 'Happy Kindergarten' and my job might end up being in the risk zone, I pulled out a maroon jumpsuit and changed into it from my pajama shorts quickly.Since I didn't have much time to tie my hair, I left it open and munched on a granola bar on my way out of the house.I ran as fast as I could to get a cab. Why could I never get up on time? This last moment of haste sucked. I knew the principal, Ms. Sophie, wouldn't fire me, but she might end up

Chapter 2: His RevelationEmber CorbinI watched the stranger bringing out something from beneath his suit. My eyes grew wide in shock seeing the black metal visible under the small blinking street light above us.The stranger pointed the revolver at the group of men, startling them. He spoke up in a tone that sent shivers to my spine, "One step forward, I will press the trigger. One step backward, I will rethink my decision of pressing the trigger. The choice is yours." When the men were thinking about what to do, the stranger further added, "Hurry up. My fingers are itching."As soon as the stranger had said that, the men turned back and ran away—all five of them.Once they were gone, I placed a hand over my chest, heaving a sigh of relief. "Thank God, they ran away. Of course, they would after seeing a scarier man than them. If I make him my bodyguard, people will never talk to me in fear," I mumbled to myself, as if I could magically afford a bodyguard who himself owned a Bugatti.
My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 3: Mid-way Dropping
Chapter 3: Mid-way DroppingEmber CorbinA Mafia leader? So basically a criminal rescued me from a crime scene, I mean, a crime of which I would be a victim, if he wasn't there on time. Interesting.If he hadn't saved me, I would be scared of him, but right now, I felt safe even while being in the car with a mafia leader. Never knew people with an illegal profession like him had a properly functioning heart. So even the bad people have a soft corner for a woman in need like me."It's intriguing," I mumbled and found Lance looking at me as if I had grown two heads. "What?" I asked, arching an eyebrow."How can you find it intriguing? Aren't you scared?" he asked, his voice holding disbelief."I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders. "I would've been scared, but you saved me. So why should I be afraid of you?""Why shouldn't you when I can still kill you anytime I want?" he uttered.I chuckled at his facial expression. He was expecting me to get scared like other normal people, but he h

Chapter 4: See You NeverEmber CorbinAfter I regained consciousness, I wasn't able to open my eyes immediately. My head was aching when I tried to open my heavy eyelids.Where am I?I could feel a few strands of hair over my forehead, so I tried to push them away using my hand. But I felt my hands tied when I tried to use them. Why the hell am I tied?Finally, I managed to open my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the fully white painted room. It was a square-shaped room—totally empty. There was not a single thing here, except the chair made of steel that I was tied with tape. It was creepy and scary.I was kidnapped, no doubt. But why? Was it because I met Lance yesterday and one of his enemies kept a close watch on him? Did his enemies think we were close? Foolish enemies. If I and Lance were close, why would he drop me in the middle of the road at night?I sucked in a deep breath.I was unable to open my mouth because it was covered with tape. It was suffocating.I started

Chapter 5: So DeadEmber CorbinThe situation at the kindergarten was insane when I arrived.After earning a glare from Ms. Sophie, I engrossed myself in taking care of the kids. Apparently, they were running around because one of them had brought a fake cockroach."Peter, if you do this again, I will double your Math homework. Do you want me to do that?" I asked a five-year-old student of mine. He was the one who had brought a fake cockroach, scaring the entire class.He shook his head quietly. Lowering his gaze, he said, "Sorry, Ms. Corbin."I ruffled his hair with a smile and said, "It's okay. Now, go back to your seat."After that incident, I started taking the class.###It was a really busy and bothersome day. All I could think of was what had happened in the morning. Even though it was a misunderstanding, I was still abducted. The horrific part was the small claustrophobic room. Did the Mafia leaders have such scary cells to capture their enemies?Gosh, that was so scary.I kne

Chapter 6: No Bothering - DealEmber CorbinI regretted not making a run for it and sitting down here to listen to Lance.Even though there was bustling going on around us, all I could hear was the pin-drop silence between the two of us as the cold metal was firmly pressed on my skin. If I moved even a little bit, I might end up losing a finger or two, or maybe even end up losing my right hand. If it wasn't for the knife, I would feel like I was in love because my heartbeat was running like it was on a marathon.After spending an entire month in the mental asylum, I thought nothing would ever scare me like this. But the latest incident with rapists a few nights ago and today was bringing out that extreme fear. Fear engulfed my entire being, and I was shivering. I gulped, afraid to look into his cold green eyes.He hadn't uttered a single word after saying I was so dead. Should I give an explanation for my deeds and apologize to him before it was too late?Better late than never, Ember
