Scarlett Wolff "I'm sorry we are just telling you about this now, honey. Your mom and I urgently need to be away for a few months..." I could barely handle the betrayal that hit me hard when my dad suddenly told me about his traveling last night, but just before I could react, he said something else to me. Something that melted all my anger away. "You don't have to be worried about being alone. I already talked to my friend, Lucien, and he is coming to pick you up to go stay with him for the time that I'll be away."'Lucien!' That name rang a bell in my ear.
My eyes had snapped open the moment I heard that beautiful name. I could still remember the excitement that sparked through my stomach. The butterflies flying in my stomach just at the thought of moving in with him.My dream was finally coming true...
***** It all started five years ago on my twentieth birthday when I set my eyes on this greek demigod for the first time in my life. Although I've seen his old pictures he took with my dad, but fuck! I couldn't stop the wetness underneath my pants and the hotness that spread through my body when I saw him in person for the first time. The desire and need I felt then, the urge to be taken by this man right there even though I knew it was wrong, would forever be etched in my memories. I've craved him for years. Enduring every torture that came with it. Even on days that I would be so horny, getting laid by another man had never crossed my mind. It had to be him or no other man. It had to be Lucien Alessandro. My father's best friend. I could never imagine being with any other man that was not him. It has been five years already, but every moment spent with him on my birthday, his smiles, his sexy voice, his handsome face. The hot body that laid underneath his clothes. Everything about him was still etched in my memory. Something I haven't been able to let go of over the years as I look forward to seeing him again. I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach, a warm feeling spreading across my body as I sat nervously on my bed with my neatly packed suitcase beside me, waiting for my Mr. Perfect to come get me. I jumped with speed and picked up my phone when it beeped, my heart beating fast when I saw the text from Mr. Lucien. 'I'm here' "He's here! He's finally here!" I whispered nervously, going to check myself one more time in the mirror. I've always been confident about my looks knowing that I'm one hella beautiful young lady, but I suddenly lost my confidence. It felt like I wasn't good looking enough for him. 'You look beautiful, especially with that hairstyle, Scarlett' My hands trembled as I carefully packed my blond hair up in a ponytail as his compliment from ears ago clawed back into my mind. I guess he likes my hair more in a ponytail. My heart pounded hard in my chest as I hauled my suitcase down the staircase, almost losing my balance as my legs were too weak to carry me. I took a deep breath, adjusting my crop top before pulling the door open, and as I spotted him leaning against his car which was parked right at the garage, I felt something jolt inside me. Just like five years ago, he was still looking the same. He didn't age a bit. His lips curled up in a smile, revealing his set of beautiful dentition as I approached him, my heart beating loud and clear that I could hear it in my ears. I halted in front of him, my fingers curled tightly around the handle. "H...hi!" My voice came out nervously as I looked up at his face to admire him. His face was still the same as when I last saw him. Oval-shaped face, sharp jawline, nubian-shaped nose, flawlessly smooth tanned skin, neatly trimmed full beards. His chin length silky black hair was brushed backwards with just a few strands on his forhead. My heart melted in my chest as I stared into his piercing brown eyes. Those eyes that always had me wet in between my legs. I swallowed a breath as my eyes shifted to his broad chest, lying underneath his black cotton shirt, almost hugging his body in all the places that I loved. "Scarlett..." My heart missed a beat when he tapped me on the shoulder gently, bringing me out of my trance, and it was then I realised he was already holding the car door open for me. "Oh... sorry," I muttered, bowing slightly. "Let me help you with that," his deep baritone voice melted my heart as he took my suitcase from me. I hopped in the front seat and waited for him to come join me. Shortly after, he hopped on the driver's seat beside me, and started the car. "Your seatbelt," I was lost staring at him until he spoke up, and I turned my face away, embarrassed. The ride to his house began. I pressed my thighs together, biting my lip, trying hard to suppress a moan. I could bet my life that my pussy was already slimy. My heart quickened, and I felt my core tighten with a need I couldn't deny. I wanted him, I couldn't deny it. 'Get it together, Scarlett. Pull yourself together' I fought the urge to slide my hand inside my trouser to touch myself, the only thing I could do was move uncomfortably on the seat, holding my breath as I felt a soft flush creeping over my body. "We are here," I had no idea how long we'd been on the road as I was in my world of fantasy, but his deep voice disrupted me, bringing me back to reality, causing me to let out a sigh. A sigh of relief. I noticed that he was already parked at the parking lot. He looked at me with concern, his eyebrows squinted as he asked. "Are you alright, Scarlett? You are sweating," I barely heard every other thing he said except my name. The way he called my name was so sweet. So sweet that I found myself imagining how it'll sound moaning it while he fucks the decency out of me. That is if I still had any at this point. "Hmm. I'm fine," I managed to nod my head, breathing heavily but lowly. "Oh... we are here..." I muttered, looking out of the window and gently doing away with the seatbelt before alighting from the car. The garage had about five cars, all looking shiny and expensive. My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw the elegant mansion in front of me. "This way," he led the way to the grand entrance with double doors, pushing it open once we got to it, revealing a long hallway leading to God knows where. I trailed behind him as he walked elegantly in front of me, and we were soon welcomed into the spacious well furnished living room which had my mouth agape. He paused and turned to me with a big smile on his face as he said, "Welcome to my home, Scarlett. Feel at home." He flashed a smile at me "Thank you, Sir," I returned the smile My parents have given me an opportunity, now watch me use it well...Raut wajah Rayyan yang tadinya sumringah, mendadak pucat pasi dalam hitungan detik. Senyum manis yang baru saja tersungging pada Alana lenyap seketika, terganti oleh tatapan mata yang sangat dingin hingga mengubah suasana. Ia mengambil ponselnya dengan jemarinya bergerak secepat kilat dengan menekan tombol darurat yang langsung terhubung dengan satelit pusat Vanguard. Alana yang tubuhnya masih dibalut selimut bisa merasakan perasaan khawatir Rayyan. "Ada apa, Rayyan. Apa maksud pesan itu? Kenapa dengan Leo?" Suara Alana terdengar bergetar hebat. "Tidak. Kamu tetap disini, jangan kemana-mana sampai aku kembali ke ruangan ini. Mengerti!" Suara Rayyan terdengar sangat tegas, seolah tak menerima penolakan. Ia bergegas memakai kemejanya dengan tidak karuan dan mengambil pistol yang ia taruh di bawah laci meja kerjanya. Rayyan berlari keluar ke halaman belakang. Pikirannya terus dipenuhi oleh foto Leo yang di potret dari jarak jauh. Rayyan yakin, itu bukan sekadar kebetulan. Melainkan it
Alana masih terpaku di kursi, menatap punggung Rayyan yang perlahan menghilang di balik pintu kayu jati ruang kerjanya. Pikirannya dipenuhi dengan pertanyaan tentang kunci perak yang terjatuh. Akan tetapi, rasa tidak percaya nya membuat Alana mengabaikan itu semua. Ia sudah berjanji dengan dirinya sendiri untuk memberikan semua kepercayaan nya pada Rayyan. Pria yang sudah bertaruh nyawa untuknya dan putra semata wayangnya.Untuk mengusir rasa curiganya pada Rayyan, Alana melangkah ke halaman belakang, mengawasi Leo yang sedang tertawa riang mengejar beberapa kupu-kupu yang singgah bersama bibi pengasuh. Tawa Leo membuat Alana merasa separuh bebannya luruh. Alana membiarkan Leo bersenang-senang setelah beberapa pekan terlibat pertikaian serius dengan ayahnya. Alana sendiri menyusul Rayyan. Bukan untuk mencari tau, tapi karena hatinya sudah sangat merindukan pria itu setelah berpisah lama.Alana mengetuk pintu ruang kerja Rayyan perlahan. Karena tak ada jawaban setelah ditunggu lama, i
Rayyan memapah Alana pelan kembali masuk ke dalam rumah. Begitu pintu teras tertutup, suasana dari rumah ditambah api unggun menambah kehangatan di rumah sederhana itu. Rayyan tidak langsung melepaskan Alana, melainkan menuntun pelan ke kamarnya yang terletak di samping kamar Leo."Silakan, istirahat yang nyenyak, Alana. Karena aku tidak ingin melihat wajah mu seperti zombie besok pagi." Perintah Rayyan sambil memutar knop pintu kamar yang sudah tertata rapi.Begitu Alana masuk, bau lavender yang menenangkan pun menelusuri indra penciuman nya. Menenangkan kondisi saraf-saraf nya yang sempat tegang berhari-hari. Alana kemudian duduk di tepi ranjang yang sangat empuk. Netranya menelusuri setiap inci tubuh Rayyan yang saat ini sedang sibuk memeriksa kunci jendela dan memastikan pemanas dalam kamar berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya. Perhatian kecil itu membuat Alana semakin merasa diperlakukan selayaknya manusia."Ray," panggil Alana pelan.Sang empunya pun menoleh, menghentikan sejenak semu
Mobil SUV hitam yang ditumpangi keduanya pun berhenti di depan sebuah rumah bergaya kolonial yang terletak di lokasi tersembunyi di balik rimbunnya pohon pinus di pinggiran kota Sentara. Rumah ini bukan mansion milik Laurent, melainkan rumah kedua milik Rayyan dimana yang mengetahui lokasi rumah ini hanyalah orang-orang kepercayaan Vanguard.Rayyan dengan lembut mengecup kening Alana. "Sudah sampai, Sayang," bisik Rayyan lembut.Mendapat perlakuan tersebut, Alana membuka matanya perlahan. Tubuhnya masih terasa lemas, tapi beban yang dipikulnya seolah menguar ketika melihat gerbang kayu rumah terbuka. Rayyan turun terlebih dahulu, kemudian menghampiri mobil tenaga medis yang membawa Leo dengan gerakan yang sangat lembut. Waktu itu, kondisi Leo sudah terlelap tidur.Rayyan mengabaikan kondisi nya sendiri akibat luka yang diperoleh nya beberapa waktu lalu, ia justru mengulurkan tangan satunya untuk membantu Alana keluar dari mobil. "Masuk dulu ya. Aku sudah minta bibi untuk menyiapkan a
Suasana lorong rumah sakit Sentara terasa sangat dingin dan steril. Akan tetapi, aroma obat-obatan yang sangat mengganggu dan tidak mampu menenangkan suasana kacau yang sedang menyelimuti Alana. Ia masih menggenggam jam tangan mainan dengan sangat erat, bagaikan benda itu merupakan amunisi terakhir
Alana masih mencengkeram kuat kotak P3K di tangannya hingga ada beberapa jemarinya terluka. Namun keduanya tidak menyadari karena fokus pada layar televisi di hadapannya masih menunjukkan berita kepulan asap dari jendela ruangan ICU yang sudah hancur. Simbol kalajengking di dinding rumah sakit itu
Bau antiseptik menguar dan menusuk indra penciuman Alana ketika ia duduk di ruang tunggu VVIP rumah sakit pusat Sentara. Gaunnya yang tadi tampak elegan, kini compang-camping akibat terkena darah kering milik Adrian. Sedangkan, Leo tengah tertidur pulas di pangkuan Alana. Wajah lelah nya terpampan
Malam di Sentara tidak pernah benar-benar gelap, namun bagi Livia, kegelapan itu kini berpindah ke dalam sepasang matanya yang menyimpan amarah dan dendam. Di dalam suite mewah yang telah disiapkan asistennya, Livia berdiri di balkon, menatap kerlip lampu kota yang seolah mengejek masa lalunya.
