Chapter 64 - I can't be your mistress!

"Eh? Liam?!" surprised by Liam's attendance. According to her previous life, Liam never visited her nor contacted her after she got discharged from their hospital but why is he here in this lifetime?

"Seffy… welcome back. Chairman Yue, I better get going." turning his attention back to Sebastian Yue, Liam excused himself as he bowed respectively but old man Yue halted him.

"Young Jin, it's almost dinner time. Will you accompany this old man to supper?" Sebastian Yue invited him to dinner. Seraphina squinted her eyes at the mischievous smile on her grandfather.

[at the dining area]

Sebastian Yue was beaming with good vibes which makes her skeptical at her grandfather's action. He accommodated Liam Jin graciously. Seraphina stayed silent as she plays her food listening bored about their discussion.

"How was Old man Jin?" Sebastian Yue buzz referring to Liam's grandfather.

"He is doing great, sir" Liam's amiable tone courteously answered.

"That old man… how lucky, he got to have a reliable son like your father and a genius grandson." the old man humored. Liam chuckled lightly. His laugh and every action ooze with elegance as he takes a quick glance at Seraphina's dull expression.

"Chairman Yue, but you got Sera on your side… that is incomparable." he chanted. At the same time, Seraphina turned her head towards her grandfather, displeased.

"Gramps, how could you sell me out. I am more reliable than my chaperons, you see." she grumpily commented on the side.

[On their quarters, Ace and Riggs felt a cold shiver run down their spine as if someone was bad mouthing them.

"Damn, what was that?" Riggs murmurs.]

"Right," the full of vigor old man Yue laughed at Liam's words which made his expression softens approvingly.

As the dinner ends, Sebastian Yue requested her to send Liam's off which she agreed. They silently made their way to the Yue's mansion driveway where his car was parked.

Reaching his car, Liam turned to see her but Seraphina was deep in her thoughts that she almost knocked her head to his c_h_e_s_t. Fortunately, her keen body was aware of what was happening to her surrounding and automatically stopped one step away from him. Looking up, Liam's tender gaze met hers.

"Sera… I'm glad that you're doing fine."

"Me too, I'm glad I'm doing ok. Haha." her lips twitch at the awkward laugh she let out. Although she was intrigued of why in this lifetime, Liam would show up again in their manor.

"I'll be staying here for good." he informed her unfazed at the awkward answer she blurted out.

"Is that so? Did you miss this goddess that much?" She teased him as she flips her hair. Liam chuckle at her action and words. How could he not miss this tease?

"Hmm." his lips curled upward as he nods his head agreeing compassionately. Seraphina simultaneously blinks stupefied at the noble prince in front of her.

"Eh? Liam…" she couldn't find the right words to his bold affection.

"Hmm?"

"I can't be your mistress." she pinched her brows as she spoke in a matter of factly tone. Witnessing another absurd reasoning from her made him laughed gracefully once again. He pats her head lovingly as he spoke,

"No, Sera… I broke my engagement. You were right, I shouldn't tied myself in a loveless marriage." he conceded.

"Ohh…" not knowing how to answer his sudden news.

"I -- Sera… I wanted to chase someone I like." he confessed.

"That's great! Good job doctor!" giving him a thumbs up as if supporting his decision.

"I liked her for almost a decade now. I thought if I let fate decide for us, we'll be together eventually but I realize I should do something for us to work as well. I already let many chances slipped by but after seeing her again, all these years, my heart only belongs to her." professing his love sincerely.

"Woah, Liam how can you be so naive?" she blatantly commented as she giggles not knowing his words are directly aiming at her.

"I was… Sera, will you give me a chance?" cutting to the chase, his hopeful tone inquired.

She blinked, stunned to his sudden confession, "what the heck?"

Dom moj dostroen, no ya v nem o din

(My house has been burnt but I am alone here)

Hlopnula dver' za spinoj

Veter osennij stuchitsya v okno

(An autumn wind knocking on the window)

Plachet opyat' nado mnoj

(crying over me all over again)

Noch'yu groza, a nautro tuman

(Thunderstorm at night and fog in the morning)

Solnce ostylo sovsem

(The sun has turned completely cold)

Davnie boli idut cheredoj

Pust' sobirayutsya vse

(Let them all get together)

A loud upbeat russian opera song resounded across the brightly lit mansion. As the song reached its chorus, a man's angst scream went along to its high pitched part which made the petite man who's holding a sharp katana grin devilishly.

With a swing, he ended the man's agony by chopping his head off.

"Aiya, this is boring." he uttered in his low and bored tone. He's been in Petrov's den for hours now, but even though he decimated his men -- if only he'd knew that his target would take a while to get back, he should have taken his time torturing each of them.

He dragged the body of the man he beheaded moments ago, then pick up his head, unbothered. When he reached a certain room, it revealed a huge pile of fresh corpse. The room as spacious as a conference room is now crowded with dead bodies. Leon emotionlessly threw the chopped head inside then dragged the body inside.

As he closed the door, a figure that was leaning behind it appeared.

"Rex, should we just leave?" Leon spoke unconcernedly to his silent companion.

It's been a while since they arrived in their enemies headquarters thus to ease his boredom, Leon decided to clean the mess he caused and made this room as his trash can. One cannot really judge the book by its cover.

Despite with his innocent and youthful image plus his petite body structure however his actions show otherwise. Luciano's crew knew he was the most ruthless among them. The person who finds p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e in killing. It was still a mystery to them how and why he follows Luciano like a little disciple. Ultimately, Leon was originally Luciano's right-hand man alas he only gets a few assignments from him.

A thick and loud noise of a chopper's rotor was heard outside.

"Aiya, finally the main course arrived!" he rejoiced yet his jubilation was also twinned with bloodl_u_s_t as if a hungry wolf finally found its prey.
