But it couldn't be a thief, right? There are many securities guarding around the mansion so it is impossible for us to enter with bad intentions.But as I thought about the possibilities I got a little scared. But instead of turning on the lights in the room I walked to the veranda. I gasped at the cold air. I didn't care about the hair that was still slightly dripping and approached the railings.I looked below. Everything was normal. I looked up at the guards posted at the main gate who looked like there was no problem.I sighed and washed my hands. Thinking about that man in a black hoodie sent horror through my system. I feel that person is dangerous. And even Ididn't see his face, I really felt that he was staring at me.damn I don't know what to think.I was about to go back inside when I smelled a familiar scent. The pounding in my chest grew stronger. I don't know if it's just an illusion or not, but half of me hopes that it's real.I was about to find where it came from when
The Vampire and the Mage 26: Go away
So whatever we have I didn't name it. Because I know, for him our situation is just normal. Eventually he will get bored too. He will find another woman to play with.I don't have deep feelings for him, anyway. It's all just mere attraction. So why not enjoy myself until it last?"Please explain that part again. I don't understand it completely. I'm confused."Reilan chuckled."It's because your attention is on me. Focus on the lesson, Desire." My lips parted."Don't assume. I'm serious, Reilan. I'm getting lazy here. I'm also tired. My head is hurting."He folded the book. He also put the worksheets aside. "Alright. I'll just discuss it again on our next meeting."He turned the chair towards me. Legs are parted sideways, while my chair is at his center. I was sitting sideways, that's why his right leg is touching both of mine. He crouched his head and kissed my exposed shoulder."Should we just make out, then?" He whispered with his bedroom voice. I'm just getting hot.How could he s

"And also, I'm not an entertainer. I'm the debutant and you're just a guest who came all the way here on your own will. If you're just looking for an entertainer, I guess this is a wrong place for you, Mr. Mongreco.""Boom, crack." Morris grinned playfully. Reilan glared at him darkly."Enjoy yourselves." I didn't wait for them to say anything and immediately walked away, back to my own table. How dare he talk about courtesy? Did he forget how rude he was to my friends? Really stupid."Anyare? Why does it look like you lost a few million?" Lilian asked when I returned to the chair. I took a wine glass and drank a little."That Reilan Mongreco really sucks.""Why? Did something happen?" Marie asked. I shook my head, choosing to remain silent."You shouldn't come near him anymore," said Louie. I glanced at him, but he's looking at something behind me. His brows furrowed, looking so irritated by what he's seeing. Out of curiosity, I turned to see what he was looking at.My fist clenched

Eve's POVTears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Landon, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression."What is wrong?"I shook my head and smiled. "I'm just happy.""Happy about what?"His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding."Carter is getting married?" His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something."Yes." Whoever this Lea Da Vinci is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Carter's heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn't help but burst to tears."You are upset because he's getting married," Landon stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from hi

"At this point," Landon spoke. "Eve's safety is the most important. I'm willing to join forces with the two of you. I can't risk her life for my pride. I will use all my cards to keep her.""Landon!" I called in contempt. He just looked at me with defiance in his eyes."We have to accept it. We can't do it alone. I would rather sacrifice my pride than put you in that kind of danger. I promised you, didn't I? I will protect you no matter what.""And I will do the same, Eve. The pack is willing to help," Jaxon said and I could almost feel my temple pounding."My family will fight," Carter added, one of the things I fear the most."Do you even hear yourself, Jax? Carter? They are your family for Pete's sake! And what? You are willing to risk their lives just for me? That's unfair, you know! I don't want to put their lives in that kind of danger just so I could live. I can't be that selfish!""And do you expect us to do nothing? You are also my family, Eve! You should understand that I al
The Vampire and the Mage 30: Changes
My tears flowed before I finally closed my eyes. And all I could hear was Alliyah's demonic laugh before I completely lost my consciousness.I was overwhelmed by the strange noise and uncomfortable position. I was about to touch my aching head when I felt something tightly bound to my arm.I recoiled in shock when I saw four women in front of me, just as I had also tied my legs and arms. But what shocked me more was the unfamiliar place where we are. We were inside a wooden cage running.I peeked between the woods and was even more confused to see a horse pulling into the cage while a man was running the horse. It was like a carriage for prisoners.But what is this place? From what I can see outside, I know this place is far from the city. All I could see around were twigs, tall trees and mountains.I looked at the female companions. They have one thing in common - good faces and Taiwanese features. You two, I think are a few years younger than me. The other two I think are just my ag
The Vampire and the Mage 31: Fears and lies
"How about Ezera and Arcus?"My trembling intensified."They are dead, my lord."It felt like my whole world shut down. It was beyond crippling. It was evil. But before I could react, darkness took over my system and all I could remember is the cold floor where I fell.Slowly, the glittering thing above me became clear. It's a chandelier. I am in my room, in my bed. My sweat was dripping and I didn't know why I was feeling so nervous."Don't worry, she is just fine," it was a familiar voice. Is it our family doctor?I closed my eyes for several seconds. When I opened it again, I froze when I saw my father's worried face, his sea-green eyes reflecting mine. I gulped, suddenly confused as to why I was feeling scared.I was about to ask what happened when I suddenly remembered something. It was as if I were drenched in cold water when everything I heard in the study came back to me. If there is a stronger feeling than being horrified, then that is what I'm feeling."I'll take my exit now
The Vampire and the Mage 31: Holding her ground
I don't know but I smiled sparingly. I have already walked towards the people. Being tied to Lucian isn't as bad as I thought, huh? I even used it at my own advantage."Don't panic, everything's alright," I told the people."W-What's happening, Ma'am?"I looked to my side. It was the lad I helped with his food earlier."There's just a group of uninvited guests. But don't worry, everything is under control. See those men?" I taught Lucian and his staff. "They will take care of it. There's nothing to worry about."Other staffs also talked to those present so everything gradually calmed down.Lucian was just ahead, seriously talking to his staff.The scene was like that until I heard the sound of engines. Seven black vehicles stopped in front of the camp site. Lucian and his men were all alert in front of us. He was holding a gun but his hand was behind his back.Men in black suits with Syria's badge went out from the vehicles. All armed.Lucian was a step ahead of his men, very calm and
