Malia's P.O.V. "Ugh! This is what happens when I drink!" My head was pounding mercilessly. I woke up to the gentle touch of sunlight, its warm rays cutting through the fog of my hangover. In the midst of my groans, Cheska's voice broke through the haze, calling out to me. "Hey, Malia, are you awake?" Cheska's voice echoed from the door. "Callisto has been looking for you." Rubbing my temples, I regretted every sip of alcohol from the previous night. How could I have let myself lose control like that? Trying to gather my thoughts, or at least attempting to, I replied, "Tell him I'll be out shortly, Cheska. "I just need a moment to freshen up." Cheska's footsteps fade away, leaving me alone with my pounding headache and disheveled mind. I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, hoping that splashing cold water on my face would bring some much-needed clarity. As droplets cascaded down my face, memories of the night flooded back. Laughter, conversations, and my feeble at

Malia’s P.O.V. “Damn, it’s boring.” A yawn escaped my mouth. “How long should I just stay put and wait for Callisto’s commands? I am not sure if it’ll also come very soon."It’s been two days since the treasure hunt failed. I referred to it as a failure as I ended up in the wrong room because the servant, who is the mastermind of the game, handed me the wrong key.I’m thankful that Callisto didn’t get mad at me; instead, he looked amused the day after that night. Not to mention that he’s also the one who brought me back to my room.Now, he is around, but he’s super busy to the point that we rarely see each other. I’m not complaining though; less time seeing each other means less sex, but of course the pay is still the same.What a lucky girl I am! Hehe. “Lady-”“Ah!” I almost jumped out of my chair when someone spoke behind me. “Cheska? Gosh, you scared me!” Why is she spawning like that?!She cleared her throat. “I’m sorry for scaring you, lady. But the boss is looking for you. He’

Malia’s P.O.V. Damn. I wasn’t able to learn how to shoot at all. After he teased me, one thing led to another, and when I came to my senses, it was already night. “I’ve talked to my men, and they’ve told me that your brother’s now in one of our hospitals. “Huh, you even own a hospital? “Yes, it’s in the neighboring city. It's two hours away from here. I stare at him. Does he really transport my brother that far? “What kind of hospital is it? Will it be able to tend to my brother’s needs?” I help him put down the plates on the table as we’re going to eat dinner and continue, “I’m not being prejudiced, but my brother’s condition is not to be taken lightly. “Don’t worry. My hospital is known to have a lot of great specialists all over the world. And I made sure to tell my men to make tending to your brother a priority.” Every muscle on his arms moves while he’s distributing food to our plates. I can’t help but look at them every time my eyes pass them. He can model for luxurious

Malia’s P.O.V.   “Are you ready?” Callisto let me wrap my arms around his arms. “Of course.” I respond proudly, even though I’m so nervous that I want to vomit. We’re about to go to an event that he’s invited to, and the worst part is that the big shots are there. “The question is, are you ready for the questions that everyone will ask?” I asked. “Who do you think I am?” He cockily answered. There’s a list of possible questions that people might ask us, and we made sure that we memorized them all. Since we have to pretend that we’re not pretending, we have to convince everyone that we really love each other. “I’m nervous.”  He squeezes my arms and pats them lightly. “Don’t be afraid;
