“You look lost in thought.” A female whose name Reene had totally forgotten, pointed out as they ate breakfast.

“No, I’m just tired.” Reene replied with a small smile.

Certainly not true.

She was lost in thought on Jaxon's words.

He saw her to be someone special to him? Did he?

And if he did, then what was his definition of special.

She didn't want to jump into any conclusion that'd prove dumb.

But wasn't it kind of obvious?

Or was it?

Gosh, this was starting to get annoying.

“Reene.” Umrai called, startling her a little

She raised her head from the food, to all the eyes on her.

Even Nora (though it was more of a scowl).

“Hmm?”

“What's wrong?”

“Maybe she's plotting to snatch some girl's long crush.” Nora scoffed, arms crossing tightly over her chest.

At least Reene could be glad because that distracted them from Reene to Nora.

Soon, they were chatting on different things till Reene's distractedness was forgotten.

Thank goodness.

Once everyone had finished eating, they left one at a

    The elevator separated and Reene got out, puffing out annoyed heavy breathing like she'd just completed a marathon race.But heck, never had she felt so furious before.The way he'd spoken to her.Telling her to ‘Get out’ like she was one of the people he could control.Just ‘cause she was living under his roof didn't give him any right to speak in that manner.More annoying was the fact she didn't even stand to protest or at least let him know he couldn't shout at her.Instead, her dumb self just walked away, looking like some kind of weakling.Reene felt herself grow more annoyed with that thought.She wasn't sure if she wanted to be under the same roof as him at the moment.She was going to go out.Anywhere.Maybe even Anna's.Anything but with the asshole who thought he could act however he felt right with anyone.Annoying.Reene was lost in thought that she was so close to bumping into someone.Thankfully, she noticed Umrai's figure quick enough to make her feet stop.“Umrai?

    It had been a week since Reene's confliction on what Jaxon's definition of ‘special’ was.To make things weirder, she'd barely seen him, so her body chose to have dreams no female should be having.Which meant whenever she got a glance of him passing by, her heart would drift close to an explosion.And things only worsened with him always busy and with someone ninety percent of the time, so he'd just glance at her, then get back to business.Sometimes he didn't even look at her.But the times he did, Reene could be sure she was nearing a heart attack.Well, that day was one of the days she didn't get to see him, which she wasn't sure if to say was good or bad (probably good).After breakfast that day, Umrai had to head to work with some of the other girls, leaving Reene all alone.Lisa still hadn't been around since who knows when, and Reene wasn't really familiar with the rest of the girls (well, except Nora and everyone knows why that option won't work), so once again, all alone.Af

    There was slight hesitation in Jaxon's look, which confused Reene on what the reason could beHe lifted the glass of wine to his lips, taking a sip before dropping it back to the counter.And just when she was sure he wasn't going to reply, he spoke, “There was this guy, his name was Dakal.”Oh, he was going to tell her.A part of Reene thrilled at that, so much, she got her concentration on full mode, interested in all he would say, while trying to get her thoughts off them being alone in the middle of the night.“Was?” She asked, though she had a feeling of what it might mean.“He used to sexually abuse some females under different Mafia groups, then kill them afterwards.”That sent creepy chills down her spine. “Oh my,” she muttered.But he didn't have a change in expression. “And since his dad is from the Blodcard territory, the second best Mafia group, he always got away with it.“Not until he tried it for females under me.”“So you killed him?”“Yes.” As disturbing as that was,

    “I’ll take my leave now sir.” Greg offered an awkward bow (his second in just one day), then quietly slipped past her, so Jaxon and Reene could have their privacy.“What's this about me being in possible danger?” She asked, tone dripping from the annoyance that was starting to bubble within.There was a slight softening of his expression, but that didn't apply to how sharp his voice was. “Forget it.”“Forget it?” Her legs moved her in, and immediately, an irritating scent of cigarette filled her nose causing a scrunch of her face.That was also when she caught one resting between Jaxon's fingers, a gold lighter beside a glass of what looked like wine standing on the counter in front of him.As it seemed, he and Greg had been drinking.Who drinks in the kitchen in the middle of the night?She'd have questioned that, if she didn't have more to worry about.“I'm not forgetting anything.” She stopped at a distance between them. “Why am I in danger? What's going on?”“Reene, just forget it

    The moment Reene's back was off the door, she was quick to rush to the closet, tossing the towel off her then the bikini before changing into a black panty and flared pink spaghetti handle gown.No way was she ever swimming in Jaxon's mansion again.At least not while there were about fifteen guys in it, and Jaxon being among them.Her eyes fell on the arm he'd applied ointment on, and she couldn't help wrapping her other hand gently around it.Weird how his finger had been so careful touching it.Like he was touching a fragile possession that needed care for.Who knew Jaxon could have that side of him.That sweet side that stayed with her all night because she was having nightmares.The side that assured her protection.The side that promised to be there everytime.She smiled a little.Who knew—‘Shoot, you better stop smiling at the thought of him.'Reene shook her head, dropping her hands before crawling into bed after turning off the lights then placing the duvet over her shoulder
