บททั้งหมดของ Mistress of Seduction: Titterington Empire: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

DARANA “Don't forget Rana, your main focus should be on Caliste Titterington and nothing else. We can't afford to mess this up”. Gemma’s firm voice filtered through the invisible Bluetooth device in my ear. “Got it” I muttered as my eyes scanned the crowd for the woman in particular. She was standing at the center in a green glittering dress that was hard to miss. Caliste Titterington. Queen of the Titterington empire as people liked to call her. Our latest victim. “Adrika, how far up are you?”Gemma’s voice filtered through the device again. “I'm on the fifth floor” came Adrika’s muffled response. She had managed to slip in through the back windows. I heaved a breath of relief and once again rested my gaze on Caliste. “Okay, good,” Gemma replied. “The room you're looking for is on the far end of the hallway. I've disabled the security alarms on the door for about….. one hour. So you have one hour, Adrika. One hour to slip in and take the jewel and get out”. “Got it," Adrika repl

DARANA“I can't believe there wasn't a single CCTV camera in that whole house”. Gemma said once we had settled in the study. The lights were dim but I could make out the thoughtful expression she had on her face. “I would have hacked the CCTV and gained access to the whole party and see which direction the guards were coming through. It would have made Adrika’s work a whole lot easier,” she muttered. “That just proves that the Titteringtons are into some shady kind of business," Adrika said with a shake of her head as she paced back and forth the room. “Well, that is no longer our business because we have the jewel now” Gemma said and all six eyes landed on the jewel laying on the desk at the center of the room. It glittered softly in the dimly lit room and our eyes gleamed with greed. “How much did you say that was worth again?” I asked, needing to confirm the value one more time. “One million, five hundred thousand dollars” Gemma said aloud and Adrika laughed as she punched her

DARANA“This is bullshit”. Gemma cursed as she kicked the side of the couch. I laid back in my seat and massaged my temples. “You shouldn't have gone out,” Gemma screeched as she glared at me. “That's why we came up with that rule in the first place”. “He would have gotten her eventually,” Adrika said dryly. “Judging from what Rana has just explained, he was going to find her sooner or later. It was inevitable”. Gemma groaned and slumped onto the couch next to me. “What if we give the diamond back?. That's what caused all the ruckus in the first place. Let's give the damn jewel back and we can go steal elsewhere”. “He doesn't want the jewel,” I said with a shake of my head. “He wants me”. I whispered as I clamped my hands tightly together as the memory of the video of my sister played in my head. That asshole. “Rana sweetheart, you can't marry him!”Gemma cried out and Adrika nodded along with her. “She's right, you can't just marry some psychotic dude just because he wants you to

NIKLAUSI excused myself from the room where Caliste and Darana were gushing over the wedding preparations. I knew Darana had no interest in any of it but damn, she was so good at pretending. I was starting to agree with all the titles she’d earned. She was going to be useful in my game but who knew I’d be marrying a thief. The irony!I placed a call to my right-hand man, Muiris Hartshorn. He picked almost immediately. “Hello boss” his deep voice filtered over the line.“How is she?” I asked and he sighed. “She is well, boss. I’m keeping an eye on her. She’s currently at the library, reading.”I scoffed and shook my head. Who knew Darana’s sister, Juniper would be the exact opposite of her? One sister was wild and feisty while the other was docile and a bookworm.“Boss, how long do I have to keep watching her?” he asked and I sighed. “Till I call it quits, Muiris. You know blackmailing Darana with her sister is the only way I’d be able to keep her in line.” I muttered. I could hear

NIKLAUS“Finally, I get to meet other members of the Titterington family.” Darana said with a smile as she stood beside me while the maids carried the rest of her luggage in. “Don’t get your hopes up,” I warned. “They might not be what you expect.”“And who told you I was expecting anything?” she retorted as she rolled her eyes and walked into the house, leaving me behind.I sighed, reeling my frustration in while I went after her. I led her to the main room where Caliste and the rest of the family were waiting.Caliste as usual was seated on her throne but this time, she had a serious expression on her face which was what she always had when all the members of the family were gathered together.She acknowledged us with a slight nod of her head before she started speaking. “As you all know that for the past one month, we had been making preparations for Niklaus’s wedding and now that it’s over. It’s time to meet the bride formally.”“You may have all seen her at the wedding but now y
