Reaching the dining room while trying to catch my breath, I saw Alexander fumbling at his Ipad with a cup of coffee served on the table. Just like the other day, he was wearing a pair of suit but this time, instead of a black suit, it was gray this time. Well, I do admit that he looked better in black but set that thought aside since that was not the purpose why I came to see him so early in the morning. He seemed to have noticed my presence that he lifted his gaze at me with his usual non-expressive look. “Are you that hungry to run your way here?” he asked as he casually returned his gaze at his Ipad. I walked in his direction and towered over him with a hand on my hip. He never spared me a glance and still kept his eyes on the screen which was more infuriating. “Alexander, what was the document you made me sign last night? And please, I do not want to hear that it is a marriage contract just like wha

Out of impulse, I immediately crumpled the paper into a ball. I fell back on my seat in surprise when Alexander suddenly lunged at me and tried to grab the paper away. This guy was probably the only person I met who lacked the practice of self-control. Just because he wanted something, he would go about and take it without even considering the feelings of others. “What did you write?” he asked as he grabbed my wrists and pulled me towards him, still trying to get it. “Nothing,” I replied briefly. I brought my hands behind my back so he would not dare get ahold of it. Even though I was so sure that he would not be able to read them but I was simply worried he might become suspicious of me. Getting too much attention just because of who I really was and where I was from was a matter I did not want others to do. Before he could take it away, I pushed him to the side with a grunt, and with a rather lo

(FORSTERITE) Lansford’s warm breath brushed my skin but before his lips could even touch mine, I pursed my lips. Opening my eyes, I raised my hands and held his firm chest. He must really be working out a lot… but that aside, I pushed him and without hesitation, my hand landed right on his cheek. My hand stung in pain but either way, it still felt satisfying than the first slap I gave him a while back. Grinning, I flipped my hair as he returned his gaze at me. “Should I slap the other side to balance the pain?” I asked. He held his cheek that was turning red and simply snickered. I thought after doing that when he almost thought he could kiss me would totally tick him off but it was puzzling when he just returned a grin. “Playing hard-to-get, huh. I like that.” He winked at me as he took a few locks of my aubu

Pacing back and forth in my room with my heart beating fast, I could not find an excuse that can possibly explain what Lansford saw just a while back. I should crack my head to come up with a lie while he takes that woman away from this place. What should I tell him? Oh, shit! If only that woman did not anger me, my eyes would not glow in anger. This was nothing but a bad sign. Should I just escape and leave this place? Maybe this was also a sign that I should leave Lansford and find another person who would help me. But… But how would I take my bead back from him? I mean… I could not just go and kiss him while he was awake. Oh, that was not something I would do because he would surely assume that I like him. Ew! I stopped in my tracks when I heard his footsteps coming into my room. Maybe I should just hide. Running towards the large closet, I heard the door open even before I could hide away from his sight. 

Hoping that Lansford would come back and find me, I stayed at the shop for who knows how long. The ladies in uniform started to probably get annoyed at me since I was staying in their shop and was not buying anything, making me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. I did not want to embarrass myself so I hauled the bags with me and left. His scent was all over the place but even though I followed its trace, he was still nowhere to be found.  I did not know the direction where Lansford parked his car nor can I read the signs around me so I simply trusted my instinct and walked towards the stairs moving downwards. I knew I was lost but it was just hard to admit it to myself. After several minutes of going back and forth just to find the exit, I finally found myself exiting the huge building. There were a lot of people that I could no longer smell the scent of Lansford. With negativity hitting me right at that moment, I could not help but think t
