Sighing for the umpteenth time, I pushed myself up unto the counter with my hands and languidly looked over the now spotless kitchen. A few minutes ago, the stupid excuse of a Mafia boss --also known as Kasan-- took it upon himself to clean the whole house down to the very porch at the front. Why you ask?...he claims he wants to keep his precious 'princess' in a clean environment.
Afterwards, he went out and came back in with loads and loads of clothes. Not sure how he knows my exact size but they all fit perfectly well actually. I don't have clothes so I'm half grateful but the fact that they literally hide NOTHING is absolutely irritating.
And just few hours back, I happened to mention that chicken Alfredo would've been better for dinner instead of spaghetti. Wrong move. Following my remark, he tossed the spaghetti in the trash and began to stir up another pot.

Take your pick.. who's gonna win? And what's your thoughts on this story so far?
"By the way, where did all your weird friends go?" I asked, stretching my arms over my head as my bare feet trudged through the grass littering the ground. The house was pretty close to the forest so greenery was practically everywhere. Not sure why they chose to live in such a secluded area but I do like it here except for the fact that I feel like a caged animal. "I've banned them from entering the main house. This place is larger than it looks. There's more than five houses on the land. I told them to take the one farthest away." I sent him a happy thumbs up. "Good idea. That Kenley guy makes me wish I had a gun." Kasan grinned. His nicely styled raven hair was gradually ruined as the wind passed through the strands like storm. But as usual, he was still sexy...if not more than before. "Then..." He said. "--you'll be happy to know that my favorite gun will be my second gift to you. Keep it close. We have alot of surprise attacks around here." He left my si
Lucas...the name of the man that permanently lives in my every nightmare. I know only an idiot would just assume that out of the millions of people with that particular name, they were specifically speaking about the Lucas I know of...but I couldn't resist caving in to fear despite the low possibility, the kind of raw fear that only Lucas can ever draw into being. With molded lips and trembling hands, I reached for the mug that Kasan had laid in front of me not too long ago and took a slow sip of the black coffee. The strong heat had already seeped into the mug and wasn't going to wane anytime soon, but I didn't flinch nor wince at the pain that scorched my palms. Simply put, my mind was too caught up to even register such trivialities. "What's up with you? You've been out of it for a while." Kasan piped up, right fist on his cheek as he stared intently at me. I didn't answer to his worries, in fact, I could barely even find it in me to breath. In years, I ha
"So...you've been having a good time, I presume?" Mom was the first to speak, the distaste encased in her voice making me wince. I was ashamed to even look at her --or even dad for that matter-- so I stared down at my lap, skin itching from the gazes casted upon me. And to make matters worse, even Kasan was staring me down from where he was seated beside me. Despite the fact that my parents caught us in the act, he didn't seem fazed one bit. Rather, the dickhead was finding this entertaining. "W-We weren't doing anything! I was just..." I waffled between words. "...uh...helping him?" It was more of a question than an answer. Mom's scowl deepened, Dad didn't move a muscle and Kasan chuckled. I jabbed him in the rib...hard, but instead of wincing like I hoped, his chuckle only got louder than before. Sending him a ruthless glare from the side of my eyes, I scooted over a bit and grabbed the fluffy pillow beside me, letting it occupy the little space between our bodies. He mumbled a q
My parents had just left for home not too long ago. While mom was reluctant to leave me here, Dad looked rather relaxed. After all those embarrassing questions he asked three days ago, I think he should be. Mom, however, looked like she wanted to question me, but she held her tongue. Seems like she's trying to come to terms with this. Hopefully, she can. Staying here in exchange for their lives was our agreement from the start. Plus, Kasan won't hurt me. He literally does everything I say. Speaking of which, Kasan hadn't returned from wherever. I thought he was just sparing me some time alone with my parents but now, I think not. Today would mark the third day since then and it's nearly nightime yet he still hasn't returned. Moreover, he also went out a few days ago and I assumed he was visiting his friend at the hospital, but what if that isn't the case? What if he's...lost interest? But do I have the right to complain? I mean, we aren't even dating....and we most definitely never
"Princess?" Kasan rounded the corner and waltzed over the moment he spotted me by the kitchen counter, burying his large hands into my hips as he smiled cheekily. He's been smiling at me and sending me sweet glances all evening ever since our 'talk'. A moment ago, I came down to the kitchen for a little ten minute breather but even that I couldn't get. It has merely been two minutes and he's already on my tail. Atleast let me get my shit together! I mean, I just said the most stupidest of things in my whole entire life! Let's date? LET'S DATE?!What the hell got over me?!I scowled, grabbing the clear glass from the counter then bringing it to my lips, gulping down half of the homemade lemonade. As much as I'm glad I got a few things off my chest, I must say that I regret telling him anything regarding my feelings. Why the hell did I let such stupid words leave my lips? He's become so annoyingly clingy!...worse than before. It's not like I told him I LOVED him. I just said I might --
"So....you brought me to a bar for a date?" I reclined in the metal chair and frowned, my index finger drawing circles in the liquor Kasan had just gotten me. I originally thought that we were heading to a fancy restaurant or maybe even a simple tour somewhere...but not a fucking bar! Who brings their date to a bar? And not just any bar, but one filled with dozens of sweaty, stinky thugs! Just because my family is filled with people of these sorts, doesn't mean that I want my whole life centered around them! Any-fucking-where would've been ten times better than this! "I own this place." He chirped, pealing the serious expression off his face and sitting down with his million dollar smile now in place. He seemed to give others the cold shoulder, hence I'm not sure why he's been sooo...well...not 'nice', but lenient with me from the very first day we met. He did hurt my father and forced me into a position I didn't want to be in, but he has never hurt me nor has he ever threatened me
The whole place was silent, so silent that even my ears began to hurt like hell. What's with the silence? Don't tell me that he's suddenly become speechless after chatting away with Gus like there's no tomorrow back there? "Well...." Kasan finally mumbled after a veryyy long while, inching his chair closer to mine as he steadily watched my expression distort into a glare. "You're looking sexy." He leaned over and breached into my personal space, running the tiny tip of his nose over my bare neck. His breathe lapped at my skin whilst his nostrils sucked my scent in. Is this his pathetic way of lightening the mood? "Thanks for finally noticing." With bitterness lacing every word, I scowled, pushing my upper body the farthest away from him as I could. "Can we leave? I wanna go. This place and you are annoying." "This is our first time out together. We can't end our date so soon." He continued to move closer, tickling my skin with his both his constant breathing and the unkempt hair
"I won't stop until 'he' acknowledges that I'm better than he will ever be. I will show him that even a monster...can still be human." His eyes met mine as soon as he spat his words and I gulped. His appearance all together held nothing but malice, hatred and pain. This kind of behaviour was both astounding and unsettling. I've never seen him show so many emotions all at once...And more importantly, I've never seen him look so dark and devilish. It makes me wonder...who is this man he keeps talking about? His father? Or is it someone else? "Why would any idiot think you're a monster? Killing your enemies and acting all cold-blooded and dominant is a huge part of this mob thing, right? It's not like you have two pointy horns and sharp teeth." I forced a laugh despite the fact that his aura made the whole place seem extremely gloomy. He shook his head. "There are times when I kill because I have to and other times....I kill because I want to. There's a clear difference..." He pulled
