180 v. Falling Hiding from both the government and the yakuza is no easy task. Every day was like hell, not knowing if that was the day they will be found out. But her heart has never been so at peace, having him by her side through it all made her feel so reassured. That somehow all things will be okay in the end. Because he was there beside her, she felt like she could trust in the future. He stirred and she closed her eyes, not wanting him to see her gawking at him while he slept. She…

179 v. Their Wedding He couldn’t stop feeling nervous. It has been quite a while and the bridal car is still not anywhere to be seen. Fuck. What if she ran away? He shouldn’t have agreed to her insisting she wanted to get married in a church outside of the estate. He knew he should have been resolute about holding the wedding in the annexed chapel of the castle. He knew she might be planning to escape but he chose to ignore all the warning signs. His dark expression already affected…

178 v. Her Devious Ways “That’s my condition. I want to go to their restaurant and taste their food incognito. It won’t be so hard to do it by myself right? Plus, won’t I be justified in doing it? I just want quality food to be served during our wedding,” she demanded, sitting across from him as she confidently laid her bold terms. She didn’t want to look like a fool being shut down by him but he wasn’t even looking at her, he just continued signing the documents in front of him.…

177 v. Quid Pro Quo It was barely a few months before she surrendered to her parents’ will. She had to bite her tongue and bear everything unless she wanted to lose her family for good. To say she is now being manipulated by both her family and Dominus will be by far correct. There is no way out of this web. To put it simply, Dominus calculated his every move to trap her like this. She crumpled the paper containing the design proposed by the gown stylist and threw it in front of her bridal…

176 v. His Leverage After the chain incident, Dominus has mellowed down. He has become more gentle, Mary knows it was partly because he felt guilty overseeing the bruises and wounds on her body. She tried to cooperate with him as much as maybe possible. She didn’t want a repeat of being in shackles. She sighed as she thinks of what may currently be happening to her friend. She wondered if she should try again soon to look for him. Dominus has trusted her enough during the past few weeks,…

175 v. Run Away with Me Mary felt her throat dry up as the governor leaned forward and whispered in her ear, “Are you shocked I invited you to this party, young miss? It is because I have found out a dirty little secret you have been keeping from everyone. Your cargoes are not what they seemed.” His voice was calm and lacked accusations. He continued to dance with her in the ballroom as the people looked in amazement. He had held a banquet in honor of the businessmen who have docked in the…

174 v. Madness “What are you doing to me? Why am I in chains? What the hell are you planning to do?” she woke up chained in the bed. They were apparently back in the castle. She had no recollection of traveling back to the palace and she was obviously still wearing her nightgown. If not for the chains preventing her from moving out of the bed, she would have thought she was dreaming. She panicked and glanced around, only the lampshade is on and on the sofa is her captor. “Queenie, you are…

173 v. A Challenge “Can we go back to the castle soon?” she pressed a kiss on his cheek when she asked the question, just to be sure he won’t take it negatively. His body stiffened as he held her close to him, “Why? We have everything we needed right here.” “I miss the castle, it is meant to be our home,” she quickly added. “Our home, you say,” his voice was cold and devoid of emotions. She knew it could only mean bad, but she needed to say it nonetheless. She searched all…

172 v. Beach Date Dominus hums quietly and moves a hand around Mary’s waist, pulling her a little closer. “You smell so nice, queenie,” he whispered in her ear as he sniffed her scent. She blushed at his words and actions, “What scent exactly are you referring to?” She knew she did not wear any perfume so she wanted to find out if that was once again one of his reused pickup lines. “Roses and vanilla. Has always been your scent as far as I can remember,” he answered, his…

171 v. Let’s Date She managed to convince him to let her join the governor for dinner. It was an uneventful dinner of course. He was waiting for her in front of her room when she arrived. His eyes were sad, guilty over what he did earlier. He has this sullen look on his face, it was palpable that he was hesitant to approach her. For a few moments more, he was just staring at her, as if afraid she would run away from him. As if by that he would crumble and lose it all. These are all just…
