"Aren’t you scared?" Ajax’s question to Xanthe was unintentionally overheard by Isis as he entered the kitchen. He had immediately looked for Xanthe when he woke up and she wasn't beside him. "I know that it must be terrifying to see my Lord like that, dripping with someone's blood... but please don't leave him."

Isis stiffened. Hearing Ajax beg for him... it warms his heart, but it scared him at the same time. Scared of what Xanthe will say.

He wanted to step back so he wouldn't hear Xanthe’s answer, but he couldn't. He was rooted in place. Deep inside him, he wanted to hear what she's gonna say.

He remembered shouting at her last night. He felt so guilty and ashamed. He just didn't want her to see him like that, it scared him.

"Leave him?" Xanthe’s soft voice filled his ears, making his heartbeat faster, "I don't think I can do that to him. It's scarier for me to see him injured than what I saw last night. When I saw him like that, it brought back memories of when I first saw him ou

  • 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

    “You motherfucker!” Isis voice thundered inside the room when one of the men Xanthe was fighting touched her waist. “Don’t touch my woman!”He kicked the man's neck, grabbed his head, pulled it down, and kneed him in the face. As the man stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose and mouth, he grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and lifted her into the air.Their eyes met. “Kick him,” he said.Xanthe smiled at him before holding onto his shoulder, moving her body mid-air as he held her waist, and stretching her legs to deliver a strong kick to the head.When he lowered her and her feet touched the floor, they automatically turned back-to-back, their backs touching.Their bodies were in a fighting stance when their eyes settled on the only conscious one remaining.“He’s mine,” Xanthe said with gritted teeth. “He kidnapped my best friend.”“Fine but don’t let him touch you.” He sighed and put his hands in his pockets, “I’ll get jealous.”The corner of Xanthe’s lips tugged upward, “Of cour

    This was the first time Isis saw Xanthe angry. She always smiled, and even when annoyed, she was still kind. But not today, there was no kindness at all.Her fists were clenched, and her jaw was tight. Her face was dark, and her eyes were sharp. She looked like an animal ready to attack, her cold eyes making grown men tremble. She gave off a dangerous feeling. Isis knew he didn't want her anger aimed at him.He wasn't the only one who felt it. Ajax kept glancing at Xanthe, who sat silently next to him in the van."Please calm down, Lady Xanthe," Ajax said."Trust me, Ajax, I am calm," Xanthe said through her teeth."No, you're not," Ajax replied.Xanthe glared at Ajax, and he flinched and stopped talking. Her glare was scary, even for her butler, who wasn't easily scared.Isis stared at his girlfriend, her jaw tight. My baby... she's not just an ordinary woman.To make Ajax flinch with just a look... she's no joke. What kind of life did she live before meeting me?He had never investi
