MY POUND OF FLESH のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

MACE'S POVI, Meason Hunter was way over the moon, and back when my baby took me back, it was one of the happiest days of my life, I was all over her and couldn't get my eyes off her for even a split second. I know I messed up before but I wouldn't let any hawk in human form come even an hair's breadth close to her, I would cherish and pamper her as she deserves. In all my 35 years on earth as a made man I had never been scared of losing someone like I was when she kicked me out of the hospital, I felt my heart breaking in tiny pieces, if this is what heartbreak truly looks like, I wouldn't want to experience it ever again. I stepped outside with Ray to gather the courage to come to face her again, she has a knack for disorganizing me, I stood outside the door contemplating when best to go in. I nearly punched a hole into that fool's face when he came to see Tilda at the hospital, I would have done more damage to his stupid face when Ray came to his rescue begging me to free him for

I prayed silently for the day not to end, and even if it were a dream, I would gladly remain in this dreamland. There was soft music playing in the background, and the atmosphere was just soothing. The chauffeur took our orders, and a few minutes later he appeared with plates. These days I don't feel like a princess locked away in a mansion anymore, but I feel like the center of Mace's world.I guess some are just so lucky, and I am among the lucky ones. I ate the food to my heart's content, and I was enjoying the evening without any fear of being shot at. Just when I thought the evening was going to come to an end, the fireworks started."Woah, this is so awesome," I said, grinning at Mace. He held me from behind as we watched the fireworks together. "Do you like it?" he whispered into my ears."I love it" was all I could manage to say as I watched the fireworks go off one after another. It was far more than I imagined, and I find myself falling in love with Mace Hunter over and over

MACE'S POVMy face lit up in a smile in an attempt to hide the anger I felt within. I wasn't going to let anyone or anything spoil this special day for Matilda.I could see the excitement and happiness written all over her as she watched the fireworks. This little human has a weird way of making my heart race. I would rather die than see any harm come to her.We spent the rest of the night in solitude, basking in each other's love and affection. I wanted to extend my stay, seeing how happy it made her feel.I woke up the next morning and put a call through to the manager. I could tell she was happy when I commended her for the arrangement yesterday and I ordered breakfast.A few minutes later, I heard a gentle tap on the door. I opened up only to see the manager and some of the workers pushing in a tray of food."She sure knows how to lick ass," I said to myself. Room service was way beneath her pay grade, but I guess she wanted to impress me.Immediate

Kieran seemed a bit surprised by the news, but he quickly masked it with a smile. The girls congratulated us, and dad was glad we considered his opinion. The dinner ended a few hours later, and I was so glad that it ended on a good note. My joy knew no bounds when Kieran finally left the house."Wheeew dodged a bullet," I whispered.* * * * * * * * *I was rushing off to school; we were to write an examination that morning. I have been feeling a bit feverish these few days; I couldn't read the previous night because of the fever. It was the last paper for the semester, and I was kind of glad that we were done with the school drama so that I could concentrate on the wedding. Leo and two of the guards were with me that morning. I got off at the parking lot and rushed into the hall. Grace looked at me a bit concerned, but I just wanted to get this exam over with. I was a few minutes late for the examination.The examiner was unwilling to give me the exam paper at first, but after much pl

KIERIAN'S POVI was still cooped up in my room, mourning my defeat, when the housekeeper yanked open the curtain, causing light to flood into the room."Ouch!" I screamed, holding my hands up to block the light."I'm sorry, sir, but you have been in here for quite a while now; I'm beginning to get worried," she said, standing close to the bed. I wanted to skin her alive, but I just couldn't; she was more like family than a housekeeper. I tossed to the other side of the bed, away from the sunshine."Do you want something to eat, sir?" I was surprised she was still here; I thought she had left already."I'm fine, could you leave me already?" I yelled at her. I heard footsteps as they retreated, and before I knew it, the door creaked open.I sighed in relief, recoiling in bed. I had been heartbroken and unable to move an inch from the bed since I came back from dinner at Mace's mansion. It wasn't as if I was sick or something, but I was too heartbroken to say
