SPG WARNING

Due to her condition, Xanthe has to stay in Isis’ house, specifically in Isis’ room. She didn't insist on going home. She's been letting Isis take care of her and her cafe for over a week.

During that week, Isis was careful with her, avoiding anything that could worsen her condition.

At first, he would kiss her and sleep beside her but as the days passed, he gradually stopped kissing, hugging, and sleeping beside her. Last night was the second time he didn't sleep next to her, claiming he had work to do.

She knows he's avoiding her. She doesn't know why, and it's bothering her.

Is he tired of her? Probably not. He would have told her directly and wouldn't be taking care of her. Is he tired? No, she always made sure he got enough sleep every night they were together. She can't think of any reason for him to avoid her, no matter how much she searches her mind.

Maybe I did something wrong?

Looks like she'll have to ask him directly. Assuming things won't do her any good.

    "What the heck?" Ajax asked, shocked when he walked in to Xanthe’s cafe. He stared at the Marquess, who was still cleaning. "Is that Marquess Santi Fierro?"She nodded. "Yep.""And the Billionaire Marquess is cleaning your cafe?" Ajax asked, not believing it.She nodded again. "Don't ask me why. I'm shocked, Ajax."Ajax blinked at the Marquess. "I'm shocked too. I didn't even know he could use a vacuum. Wow! He's holding a dustpan. Holy cow..."Xanthe didn't know if she should be surprised or laugh. Even Ajax was shocked. Who wouldn't be? A Billionaire Marquess, cleaning? It's unheard of!The Marquess smiled at her. "I'm done. Should I cook for you now, milady?"Xanthe didn't know what to say. She just stared at him.Marquess Santi smiled at her. "Don't think about my title or my money. I'm your butler."Ajax crossed his arms, looking at the Marquess. "Don't think about your title and money?" Ajax asked, shaking his head. "Lord Santi, you're wearing an Alexander Amosu Vanquish II Besp

    Xanthe was surprised when Isis said goodbye and told her he was going to work. Her very protective boyfriend wants to leave her together with the man she barely knew. Right there and then, she knew Isis was planning something. She knows her boyfriend, and somehow she can read his mind. So she let him leave.When Isis left her café, she turned to Santi.“A Billionaire Marquess...” she said while looking at the man, “are you pranking me? Is this some kind of a joke?”The Marquess put his hands in his pockets, “last time I checked, I was dead serious.”She took a deep breath and looked at Santi again in disbelief. “My butler? You?”He nodded and smiled, then took his ringing cellphone from his pocket and answered the call.The Marquess’ face darkened before ending the call and staring at her. “Kindly call your lover boy and tell him to call off the ten snipers surrounding us with their guns aimed at me. I will not harm you in any way.”She smiled secretly. So this is Isis’ plan. One wron

  • The Count’s Obsession   Chapter 44: Count-Mafia Boss

    Count Isis, her boyfriend, is the type of guy who gives orders, not the other way around. She should have expected this.“I’m part of a very big and old Confederacion with no name. We started in the dark ages and originally from Spain.” He said while still hugging her, “The Confederacion’s goal never changes throughout the years, and that is peace. We try our hardest to protect the people who cannot protect themselves against those who want to exploit them. It’s actually a losing battle, but we’re still fighting. The greatest threat humankind ever has is the Triad. They are an organized crime group whose main purpose is to take our Confederacion down."“And the Confederacion I’m part of has nine Los Arcontes, who are the heads and the decision-makers. My father is the Fourth Los Arcontes and the current leader, that’s why I can’t go against him because he’s powerful. While I am a part of the seven bosses under the Los Arcontes. These seven bosses represent or protect a continent. Your

    Your Highness," Enrico greeted him as he entered the private plane headed for Germany. He was sitting comfortably, looking at him. "Need anything, Your Highness?" Enrico sounded calm, but Isis knew better.His presence makes Enrico nervous because he cannot comprehend him most of the times. And this is one of those times.He calmly sat in the seat next to him. "A friend told me something... about you knowing my girlfriend."Enrico took a deep breath. "Your father still doesn't know, and I'm not planning on telling him.""What do you take me for, Enrico, an idiot?" He asked calmly before glancing at him, "I apologize in advance, Enrico, I don't think I can let you leave the country breathing."He stared at him intently. "I'm your father's spy. If something bad happens to me here, you will answer.""Accidents happen all the time." He said with a shrug."You will go against your father just because of a woman?" Enrico spat those words like it's disgusting.A cold smile stretched his lips

    When Ajax said they had a visitor after he and Xanthe took a shower, Isis didn't expect to see Letithia in the living room. His sister, whom he had been searching for a long time and she happens to be just under his nose. The question now is, what is she doing here?“Hi!” She greeted him happily when she saw him walking towards her, “I visited my lazy boss, and I thought I’d drop by. Xanthe is still here, right?”He nodded. “In our room.”She nodded, then looked at him. “Are you sure we haven’t met before? I mean, I’m sure I’ve seen you before.”“Where?”She sighed heavily. “I’m not even sure. And I don’t even know why I wanna see you. Argh! This is confusing the shit out of me. I couldn’t even sleep last night thinking about where I saw you. And finally! This morning, I remember!”She looked at him intently. “Who are you really? You said we’re not related, but I’m sure you look like my brother. I mean, he’s blonde, and you’re clearly not. I can vaguely remember him, you know, and I k
