Semua Bab Lie a Little: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I heard the muffled voices from the hallway I furrowed my eyebrows, slightly intrigued by the commotion that was happening, I walked to where the voices came from and saw the maids murmuring, I cleared my throat to stop their gossips and they instantly look at me with wide eyes, shocked to see me standing behind them.   "What's the problem here?" I asked them slightly demanding them for answers. I saw how their face paled, my eyebrows furrowed more when I realized that they will never give me the answers.   "Well, Senorita, Don Marcus, and Senorita Elloisa were arguing earlier and we saw Don Marcus slapped Senorita Elloisa in the face he told Senorita not to meddle with his decisions." Explained Caroline, the head maid of the mansion.   "Where is my mother?" I asked them, they told me that my mother ran to their room. I quickly turned away and walked to their room, I fastened my phase to reach their room. When I got near

Days had passed, I am still trapped inside Corro's mansion. Cold breeze enveloped my face I smiled and look at the people from where I was standing. They are busy with Corro's winter ball as the maid called it, every year Corro hosts a party wherein all mafia leaders may be rivals or allied will joined to celebrate peace and unity.  I hold the scarf tighter as I gasp for fresh cold air. I can hear footsteps walking near to where I was standing.  "I wonder why you never jump off to run away from here," he asks then smirk and leans on the balcony railing, one step away from me. "Even if I run away I'll be taken back here anyway so what's the point?" I said, in a matter-of-fact tone.  "Who are you, Corro Galvez?" I said as I stare at his face. He then looks at me with his serious face, his eyes scan my face, and stop at my eyes, piercing my soul then seconds later his eyes gaze at my lips

What happened yesterday night never leave my mind, I can't forget how his kisses ignited the desires of my soul. I shake my head as I feel my cheeks heated just by thinking of what happened. I sighed and look at the book I am reading. "I'll never let you complete me, you may be a part of me but you can't be the answer to the missing piece of me," I read the sentence out loud, I played with the pen I am holding as I grin at the thought of what is written in the book. I thought of something that has been missing inside of me, of myself but never in my mind thinks of someone who might fill in the pieces of me that have been missing for such a long time, not money nor power, love and desire could and should not be the answer, but what is exactly is been missing? "Lady, Roana, are you okay?" Said the maid who's been standing beside me. I nodded my head and glance at my journal. I can't just write things while she's here. I glance at her and smile

Three weeks had passed and now is the date of the Winter Ball. I look at my gown, it was a bloody red dress, an elegant cut that shows my cleavage daring yet gorgeous it was embroidered with rose petals and an off-shoulder type, ruffled skirt ball gown.Mrs. Leigh didn't disappoint. It was pride and pleasure to wear one of her works. I grinned as I ran my fingers into the dress. I glance at the red mascara placed on the table along with the heels I will wear later."Ms. Roana, we have to get ready" Said Caroline, I nodded, then she walks to the bathtub, it was full of roses petals and it smells amazing. I slowly take off my bathrobes and let them slide on my shoulders and handed them to Caroline, I walk slowly and got into the bathtub and, let myself sink inside. I sigh as I lay down the bathtub enough to reach my neck.I stayed for a couple of minutes and decided to stand up and Caroline handed me new bathrobes. I wear it

After two days, we decided to go to Boston since I feel a lot better. Morning sickness is enjoying its vacation and I can't even eat properly without puking because of my pregnancy.   "Are you okay?" Corro ask. I just nodded and hug myself as I can feel the cold wind envelope my body.   "How was the investigation?" I ask him, I turn my head to him and stare at him. He then walks near me and hugs me from behind.   "We already bring them to the quarter and making them spill the information but it seems like they are trained to die than to tell," I can sense the frustration in his voice, my brows furrowed as I look at the sea again in front of his mansion. The guards are surrounding the area, and it was tripled since it's too dangerous to let our guards down.   I blink twice, thinking of what he said. People from their circle think that loyalty is greater than life. Why do people value loyalty but never
