Larrisa has been long gone after she changed Lina's clothes and gave her a sponge bath but he was still sitting in the armchair across the couch where Lina was asleep.
He brought the bottle of whiskey that he was drinking in his study and drank in the dark, watching Lina sleep. The city lights entered the glass window, illuminating her sleeping face. And every time her soft snore would break the silence of the room, Eon's heart would constrict painfully inside his chest.
He was justifying his creepy action as something he could not help because it was his wolf that wanted to watch Lina in her sleep. But of course, he would be lying. Even his wolf snickered in disgust with what he was doing.
He exhaled softly in the dark, afraid to make a sound that would disturb her in her peaceful slumber. A while ago, he even stopped pouring himself a drink because he was worried that the slushing of the alcohol into the glass would wake her up. Hence, he was drinking straight
"Lina!" Eon shook her shoulder but Lina didn't wake up and stopped clawing herself. At first, he thought she was clawing at him but after a while, he realized that she was trying to swat something away from her. He was stunned as she started to tear her clothes off her body. "Lina!" He called her again but she was so deep in her dreams that his voice nor him shaking her couldn't reach her brain. In her dreams, Lina was running for her life. She was running in a dark forest with snarly dead tree trunks, clawing her as she ran away from a pack of dogs that had been chasing her. "Hah, hah," she bent down, panting. She put her hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath. She has been running for ages but no matter where she ran or how fast she ran, the damn pack of dogs always found her. Her legs were giving up on her and she was so damn tired and thirsty from all the running she had been doing. The dark forest also wasn't helping. She loo
When the realization hit Li Na that she couldn’t recall what happened in the club, she freaked out. She tried to keep a straight face, staring at Eon who was lying in the middle of his huge bed, he had his arm as his pillow—chill, and relax. He’s wearing a black silk robe but it was wide open and it showed his black boxer as well. Li Na must keep her gaze from wandering from his annoyingly smug face to his firm chest and abdomen, where she can easily trace the deep line dividing his six-pack abs with her fingertips since it was prominently chiseled. She swallowed her saliva as she looked at his size that his black boxer couldn't hide. She unconsciously wet her lips and her breath hitched as she tore her gaze away from the breathtaking view of his almost naked body. “I’m asking you! What am I doing here at your place?” She masked her agitation from the fact that she couldn’t recall what she did last night behind anger, directed at Eon. “You were dead drunk at
The fourth floor became silent as a mausoleum as soon as Li Na got on the elevator. Eon wondered if his flat has always been this quiet. He never took notice before Li Na set foot inside his personal space. No one was ever allowed to enter his place. The fourth floor was divided into two parts, the first was his study and the second was his sanctuary where no one was allowed in. But he just broke his rule. He has brought Li Na. Moreover, he took her to sleep next to him in his bed, where nobody else lays. He would once in a while bed some women for he’s a man with a healthy sex drive, but he always brought those women to the third-floor secret room. He would never take them to the fourth floor. He covered his eyes with his arm and let his mind drift away. He found himself inside his best-kept memory. 'Eon, we have enough!’ she complained but there was no annoyance in her sweet voice, rather it was full of laughter. Eon turned around and s
Li Na dropped herself to bed last night when she came back home from Luna. She thought she would not fall asleep anymore because most of the time, whenever she has her nightmare, she would not get any sleep anymore, but not last night. She slept like a babe. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and had no hangover. She rolled around her queen-sized bed, with a pillow between her knees. When she felt tired of rolling around her bed, she grabbed her phone that was on her side table. She scooted and leaned on the headboard, and started to check her social media. She also opened her Weibo account and read some news back home. She heaved a deep sigh and the good mood she had upon waking up, turned into a sullen one. 'He's moving on with his life,' she thought about her previous lover. She grimaced and reminded herself that there is no way Zhan would not move on from her. Who is she, anyway? She's just the mistress's daughter. She thought her father would d
'You have to be careful because someone is after you.' Li Na scoffed haughtily as she recalled what Madam Gyu told her. No one is after me. No one cares about me, she thought to herself bitterly."Ernesto, let's go shopping! I need new outfits." She met her driver's eyes at the rearview mirror and smiled. The hotel designated driver was already used to her whim that he didn't show any indication of surprise with her sudden request.She doesn't like strangers around her, that's why, with the many chauffeurs provided by the hotel, she chose Ernesto and requested to have him as her driver while she was staying at the Hotel Bel-Air. She's already one of their VIP guests and the hotel agreed to her request easily.Ernesto already knew her preferred store so he didn't ask where they would go when she told him that they were going to pick new clothes. He already knew where to go.And the rest of the afternoon was spent hopping from one store to the next. And bef
"Miss, are you sure you want me to leave you here?""Ernesto, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm going to be fine here?"Ernesto didn't reply anymore but it was clear from his expression that he's unhappy with her decision to get off at the busiest street of Chinatown.She got out of the car without asking Ernesto to open the car for her since he can't park the car anywhere.She walked the bustling street, darting her eyes to the buildings around, looking for the sign that Madam Gyu's assistant told her. She was looking for the house of Madam Gyu's friend to get more talismans.When she went to Madam Gyu to have a reading, she was pissed off with what she told her that she didn’t get some of those talismans that she gave her. But last night for the first time she didn’t have her usual nightmare. ‘Was it because of the talisman or was it because of what happened between you and Eon?’ A small voice inside her head mocked her.
"Are you sure it's okay for me to enter the club even though it wasn't opening hours yet?" Li Na was looking around the underground basement of Luna—trailing behind Larissa. They get to talk a lot while they are having a meal and they get to share some of their common hobby which is reading. They found out they both like the same authors and Larissa insisted on letting her borrow some of her books. She could buy the said books but it’s been a while since she has some friends. A ‘friend’ that wasn’t imposed on her by her family. Her so-called friends back home are the ones that belong in the same circle as her family and someone that has future usage. If it does not fit into any of those categories, she does not make friends. Hence, Larissa is a novelty. It would be her first time to make friends without the thought of how the other person can be a useful connection. She simply enjoys Larissa's no-nonsense attitude. She was amused at how Larissa could say whatever she
Eon gazes lustfully at Li Na's tight ass. He smirked with the image that came to mind as he stared at her perfectly shaped behind while she bent over the hood of his car, checking its engine. Li Na's interest in cars came as a surprise. He didn't see her as someone that would like cars. "There are other cars here in the garage, you can check them too." She straightened her back and turned slowly to face Eon. "It's okay." She said in a serious tone. She wanted to check the other cars too but she did not like the way Eon smirked while she was bending over the hood of his car. He might think that she was not aware of his eyes that were full of desires, staring at her ass - and it's not like it does not evoke strange emotion inside her. Especially somewhere down her body but her pride won't allow her to let him know that. Hence, she pulled herself together and was serious as she faced Eon. "I'm fine now. I'll go now." "You must not come here for t
