Quinn . I can't believe this, but this is happening, alright. The kiss earlier was beautiful. I felt like floating on cloud nine. It's the same feeling I have with him back then, but more intense this time. We sat together side by side and were quiet. Everything around here was still dark, but the floating lights on the sea in front of us shimmered beautifully. They are dancing like how my heart is pounding hard right now. "D-Did you have fun with all of your cousins?" I faltered as I looked at him. "Yes. I did. They probably didn't notice that I was gone. I only excused myself to go to the toilet but ended up beside you." He smiled a little bit but wasn't looking at me. My heart flutters, and I smile. I press my lips together to hide my nerves. He inhales deeply before speaking again. "I drank a lot." He chuckled slightly, "So stupid of me." He shook his head. "About the kiss. . ." He paused and is now looking at me in the eyes. I'm excited to know his thoughts about our kiss

Quinn . “Thank you for today, Stella. I had so much fun.” “I’m glad you liked it. Let’s go back there again next week. I will show you more. Let’s get our nails done and eat delicious street foods.” “Really? Oh, I’m excited! I can’t wait for next week.” “Me too.” She looked at someone behind me, causing my body to spin around to see who it was. . . it was Xavion. “Okay. I’ll see you later, Quinn. I love your new hair. Suits you better.” She winked and waved at me. “Thank you again, Stella!” Stella waved at Xavion. I focused on Xavion now and smiled as he walked towards me. I examined the sweet local delicacies in the plastic bag I was holding. I love all these goodies. It reminds me of Xavion. He got a sweet tooth and loves to have sweets now and then. I still remember those sleepless nights when he taught me my assignments. However, most of it was our touching and kissing. The feeling of being with him, underneath him, makes me want to melt this instant. I didn’t have any

Quinn . "He's not allowed to have a relationship, especially with someone of lower mafia rank like me? And there's nothing between us? Huh, is he kidding me!?" I got up from lying in bed. "I don't care about where I came from. I don't believe that it's my fault, Xavion! Do you think I like my life? Do you think I love the type of living I had with my devil father and hungry bastard brothers? Not to mention a maniac psychopath ex? Shit!" I messed up my hair and couldn't sleep because I was so annoyed. The final word he uttered lingered in my mind like a malfunctioning recorder. Heck. "And then, why did you kiss me? What the heck was that for!? Why did you give me that type of hope, Xavion, if you will hurt me like this? Why!?" I stomped on the floor like a child. I know myself when it comes to this. I never had so much in life that I wanted so badly, and it just happened that I wanted him. Back then, I already liked him. And now, I am willing to give him my heart even if he does

Quinn . Expect the unexpected. She's a queen, alright, and I'm just too ordinary compared to her. "Come over, Quinn, join us." Stella held my hand and guided me back to their group. Trinity is pretty famous with everyone around. It's not even forty-eight hours that she's here, and she has already captured the hearts of many. Every staff member received a gift package from their company, which specialises in body care. Everyone listens to her. She can talk like a celebrity on stage, and you will never get bored with her. She can easily make a joke and put a smile on everyone's faces. Although it's her first time here in Isla Amore d'Pazzo, she sounded like she's been here many times. "Hope you like them! And don't forget your freebies. I'm all at your service." Thank goodness that was over! If everyone had a ball listening to her, not me, okay? I'm beginning to hate her smile. It seems like it's not genuine at all. "Thank you, Stella. It's good to see everything around here. I

Xavion . "Did you have a good time with her?" Hendrix sat on the study table, crossing his arms together and suspiciously looking at me. "Wiped off that smirk on your face, Hendrix." I whirled around, putting the remaining things my mother needed. This will be her room for a few days, and I'm organising all her things. Although I couldn't keep my smile whenever I was alone because of Quinn, I guess Hendrix saw what my freaking face looked like earlier. "I haven't seen you smile like that for ages. Those hidden smiles reminded me of who you were back then whenever you were with Quinn. I'm not a fool, Xavion. I know you still like her, man." He follows me now as I get out of my mother's room. I entered the room beside it. It's where my other room is located. "And how do you explain everything with you and Quinn now? Don't tell me you two had a deal. Was it in written form or verbal? Come on, Xav, tell me. I want to know. At least a witness is needed, right? Look, I'm here," he sai
