View More"Where have you been?" I flinch and rooted on my spot upon hearing that familiar hardening tone of voice.
My eyes slowly widened seeing the familiar silhouette of a man, sitting on the dark corner of my room. I blink my eyes not believing what my eyes making me see.
He's here? What is he doing here?
"I wanna do bad things with you my flower, I been waiting for you" he said in low husky tone just enough for me to heard him.
I didn't able to answer, still surprised.
I narrowed my eyes to see him clearly, and I wasn't mistaken as I saw his lips curved into a malicious smile. I immediately step back, realizing that it was really him.
It's definitely him. I'm not hallucinating.
"Did cat got your tongue honey?" He playfully ask me, hearing the manly tone of his natural foreign accent.
"V-Vicenzo..." I whisper still startled with his presence.
A dangerous smirked form in his lips again as he stand on his seat. I automatically take a step backward for the second time seeing his sudden move.
"Ah... sound so nice hearing my name rolled in your sweet tongue flower, but still I preferred to be called in a holy way baby" He groaned removing his tie .
I gulped and slightly bit my lower lip, I'm now seeing him clearly.
With heavy breath I carefully eyed him as he finally remove his black coat. I just realize that he's wearing a corporate attire. My mind suddenly wonder where he has been? I haven't seen him these past few days.
"Why still standing there? Mind if you help me?" He utter sheepishly making me blink my eyes again.
What?!
He tilted his head "Still scared of me?" He asked making me lift my head with my chin held high.
Automatically, I met his piercing gaze "No! Definitely not!" I quickly replied afraid that he might intimidate me more .
He chuckle lowly still sound so manly in my ears. I licked my lower lip because of that and shook my head as I felt a little shame of myself.
Did I sound so defensive? I hope not.
"Come here, let me feel your skin then" he said lowly after a long silence.
I lift my head and seriousness is visible in his deep charcoal grey eyes that drowns me every time I look at him. And I was lost again.I was lost with his stare.
Realizing something, my voice came out on it's own.
"You... you look worn out" I utter out of nowhere feeling concern while staring at his tired looking face.
"Yes baby, I am. So come closer and let me regain my strength" he replied in controlled voice.
My heart skip a bit, probably because of nervousness. I'm still intimidated with his presence that shouting dominance and power.
With the last ounce of bravery, I dare to step closer to him. I dare to step close to the man who can kill someone in an instant, a man who doesn’t even know the word mercy, a dangerous man who save me.
Walking close to him is just like entering to the lions den. Dangerous, very hazardous, very threatening.
I stop .
Out of nowhere I stop when I was about three steps away from him. Perhaps my consciousness is forbidding me, sending warning that it would be life threatening if I continue this. This connection that I had with him.
But what can I do?
"Closer" he roughly said sound so impatient.
I licked my lower lip trying to maintain my eye contact with him "I- I have something to tell you-."
I didn't able to finished my sentence when he pulled me closer to him and firmly grip my waist to steady my position.
My eyes widened with that sudden move and shocked is evident on my face, but his lips move forming an amusing smile as he lean closer to me giving me slight kisses on my temple.
"Shocked?" He whisper in low raspy voice feeling his breath on my skin.
I blink my eyes three times. That was fast!
Slightly, I move my eyes to glance him and pouted my lips as I grip his firm biceps "You startled me" I whisper.
"Pfft should I say sorry?" He teasingly ask me concealing his chuckle while showering me with his soft kisses on my right cheek.
"Can I demand that?" I retorted and this time he didn't able to hide his laughed.
He laughed lowly pulling me closer to him, closing the little distance between us.
I sighed feeling the comfort that he gives me. This is more scary than what I imagine. Indeed life threatening.
I shouldn't feel comfortable with him yet here I am, feeling safe and secure with his mere touch and kisses. And I'm afraid that sooner or later I will betrayed myself. I will let my guards down because of the comfort I felt with him. This is what I fear, because this feeling is dangerous.
It can kill me...
"Not scared anymore?" He inquire as his lips travel down to my jaw.
I bit my lower lip. He's getting touchy again which doesn’t complement to his rough facade.
"I never get scared" I firmly replied pressing my lips together.
He stop what his doing and level his face to me.
"Uh huh?" He hissed playfully provoking me moving his brows up and down.
I wanted to laughed because it doesn't suit him. He looks so dominant and menacing and yet he's raising his eyebrow like a freaking gay ?
Instead of smiling to hide my giggle, I licked my lower lip and furrowed my eyebrow.
"You don't believe me" I mumble which he slowly shake his head still looking at me seriously .
His stoic serious face is his natural facial expression. Although it might be nothing for him, this mere emotionless face of him is already screaming with roughness, unyielding power, authority and dominance that people will doubt to cross their paths with him.
But despise with that menacing look, this man is unlawfully gorgeous, no wonder women are swooning over his feet .
"I am" he spoke and straighten my creased forehead "Stop creasing your forehead. I believe you of course" he added.
I mentally rolled my eyes. He was just creasing his forehead a while ago and I didn't even make a comment about it.
"I know what your thinking" he mutter under his breath sound so rough and harsh yet in controlled tone .
He's not mad nor annoyed. He looks perfectly fine with that serious face.
"I need to take shower and change my clothes" I told him to change the topic .
But instead of letting me go, he snake his arm around my waist resting his firm hand on the slender part of my back and lean closer on my neck sniffing my scent.
"Hey" I called him trying to pushed him away.
"Later" he groaned and guide me towards our bed.
He sit on the edge and guide me to sit on his lap facing him with my legs wide open while he was in the middle.
"I miss my black swan, my flower, my honey baby" he softly whisper with a little mixture of his hard tone that become his natural level of voice.
I pouted, this is not so him.
"I will sit on the bed, you look worn out and surely you're tired and I'm heavy-"
"Can I kiss you?" He bluntly ask me cutting me off with my sentence while eyeing me with his hooded eyes .
I stilled and blink my eyes. Did he just...
"You're asking" I unbelievably stated.
He intently gaze on my eyes as his adams apple move "I'm trying to be respectful to you flower. I'm really trying" he mutter in hard serious tone, looking at me with sincerity on his eyes.
A smile curved in my lips instantly. I guess I should accept the fact that I'm going to die soon, because the tie that we have together is getting toughed and thicker.
I lean closer to him "What do my Saint Vicenzo want then?" I whisper under my breath making him grin mischievously.
"A dance of a black swan, can you do that for me baby?" He said in low husky tone .
I carefully touch his arm and his body instantly get tensed and went rigid when I start massaging the firm muscle of his chiseled arm feeling the hotness of his skin despite the clothes his wearing before I reach him to kiss the side of his lips.
"We're not going to play honey, just a reminder " he impatiently hissed. "And damn! Don't make me lose my patience flower. I wanted to respect you" he continue gritting his teeth with clenching jaw .
I laughed and shake my head.
Short tempered Saint Vicenzo Santorini. Don't be fool by his name, because he's no a saint neither an angel. He's a typical mafia heir who will do everything to prove that he's Vicenzo Santorini, a man who will conquer everything just to win a battle.
As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.
Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough
Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop
That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting
Angeline did not object or stop the staff when they mentioned that Kingston Empire from Keman was interested in collaborating with Lawson Global. "Ms. Lawson…" Hanson spoke up. "I think we can talk about collaborating with Kingston Empire, but only after 'Mankind' is released. Otherwise, who knows w
"Alright then…" Nathaniel said and nodded. "I'll head to the office now. Can I come by for dinner later this evening?""I have things to do later. Send me your house password, and I'll have Lucy cook at your place. Do you have ingredients in the fridge?" Angeline asked."The fridge is restocked daily.
Sean still cared greatly about how Angeline felt, even though he felt an uncontrollable desire for her. However, he could still stop if she felt uncomfortable."Yes…" She nodded weakly. "A little.""Alright. Let me snuggle you to sleep," he said."Okay…" That night, Angeline lay in Sean's arms. She was
Even as a child, Brayden knew Emelia had hoped that Sean and Melissa would marry when they were older. That way, Melissa would become Emelia's daughter.Later, Emelia died, and Sean disappeared.
