Chapter 85 - The Night Just Started

"Really?" Maria asked the couple. Her expressions were suddenly serious. It was as if she was suspecting them again. "How come you are sick and your wife didn't call the doctor? Juliet Darling, you should have informed us. We are acquainted with a doctor. He will be here anytime as long as we inform him." 

[Tell you and let your fast brain start running even faster than a bullet train? No, thank you very much.]

"Thank you, Mrs. Mayes. We visited one when we checked in here," Persephone thanked heaven as she got a chance to avoid answering the questions Santiago's eyes were raising. She couldn't be more thankful for Maria's suspicious nature. "My husband fought with the thief but to no avail… the stuff he stole...we didn't get them back… but he did win a big injury in return… he is taking medicines and is better than before." 

She didn't know if Maria and her husband would believe her but she just twisted the original story a bit. 

"Really? Sir, you fought an evil man alone?" Irene's friend widened her eyes funnily and asked. She was fascinated to know what this tall and dangerous man would have looked while fighting the bad guys. She would do a naked pole dance if she could see him in action. 

"Ah, it must have hurt after the injury, no?" Another girl said. Her face is red like a tomato. 

[Just what kind of things were they imagining in their pea-sized heads?]

"Silly Anne, you don't feel butterflies in your stomach after getting slammed," Anne's boyfriend said in a grumbling tone. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the girls that they were getting crazy over this older man. Look at him. And see what real handsome men look like!!

"You shouldn't have fought with those people. Weren't the things that man stole just 'things'?" Irene couldn't help but say in a worried voice. She meant to say that nothing in the world was worth his life. But unfortunately, the way the words escaped her mouth, offended Santiago for no apparent reason. 

"That wasn't just 'thing'. It was something very precious to me. No money in the world could have brought it back to me," Santiago said. His gaze bored into Persephone's face. He didn't even bother to look at the person who asked the question. 

Truly, no money in the world would have brought his Redback to him if he had lost her to the kidnappers. And what kind of a man would he be if he failed to protect something precious to him? 

He was the type of man who would sacrifice his life in a second to protect something precious to him. 

"And they say there is nothing between them," Emmanuel muttered under his breath as he saw Santiago intensely staring at the woman beside him. He would be a fool to believe that there was everything 'Platonic' between them. 

If Villain hadn't been badly injured, he strongly believed they would have been rolling in the sheets. Naked and doing unspeakable things to each other. 

"Who are you talking about?" Emmanuel felt hot air blowing on his neck as he heard a hoarse sultry voice. He then felt a hand on his ass and gulped inwardly. 

"N-No…" Emmanuel found it hard to utter those two words. 

"Why are you stuttering?" Romeo whispered in his ear. "Do I make you uncomfortable, Em?"

Emmanuel opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out of his mouth. It was as if some external forces were stopping him to utter the words that he had in his mouth. 

In the end, he just kept his mouth shut as he was too confused to say anything. 

He couldn't understand Romeo and his hot and cold attitude. 

One moment, he was throwing tantrums and another moment, he would be beating the shit of any guy who would dare to approach him with mean intention. 

This Romeo was truly a tsundere. 

"Don't you guys think it's getting boring here?" Someone from Irene's group said." We should have some fun here."

"Kids, you can do anything but don't let any naked lad or lass run around my property in the dark," Tito said directly to the kids. His old eyes couldn't bear to look something like that at this age. 

A young guy who looked a little drunk laughed and said, "You won't see any naked Lad and Lass, Uncle Tito. We will make sure of it. We won't come near your wing where you can see some asses and ---" 

Another guy shut his mouth with his palm and said, "We won't do something like that. No Naked dances or orgies like you said before." 

Maria chuckled at them "You! Young Kids! Kids in our times were so hesitant to speak these words out and look at today's generation. So shameless and so naughty!!"

"Ah, Bella, do you want us to teach Uncle Tito a thing or two?!" The drunk boy foolishly grinned and asked her. 

"Shameless, boy," Maria groaned and everyone else laughed. 

"Honey, how about we try the things little Jammie taught me in the day?" Tito whispered in Maria's ear and she turned scarlet. "Kids, we are leaving you here. Don't mind us. Continue doing what you are doing. And yeah, No orgies...no naked dance." 

In the next few seconds, the older generation was gone and only ten of them were there. Santiago, Persephone, Emmanuel, Romeo, Irene, and five others. 

"We should leave too," Persephone said in Santiago's ear. She knew it was not good for Santiago to sit for a longer interval of time. 

Before Santiago could say something, Romeo said," Julie, you are not planning on leaving, are you?"

Suddenly, Santiago turned his head and found that damn boy calling his wife 'Julie' as if they were too close out of sudden. 

"I--I…" Persephone opened her mouth to say that it was the case but Irene defeated her at this. 

"Of course not, Romeo. How could Miss Juliet and Mr. Giovanni leave just like that? The night just started. We have so much planned for it."

Author Note: You Guys may have been wondering why this lazy Author of yours gave you three back-to-back mass releases. If it's because I love you guys a little too much or if there is some hidden motive behind this. 

Of course, there is a hidden motive behind this.

Six months ago on a whim, I posted three chapters of this novel. And suddenly after few Days WSA (a contest was announced) and since the theme was fitting my book. I participated in the contest. In the next few days, I posted one or two chapters and stopped again as my other novel was ongoing at that time. 

One month ago, I suddenly decided to work on another work and when I saw that I have this book( which I hadn't touched for 5months), I decided to write this as I was lacking start for another one. 

And I did... A week ago, my friend reminded me that WSA is ending and I need to post at least 100k words before the end of September. 

Hehee... I burned midnight oil and see how is wrote around 30K words in a single week. 

Suddenly proud of me....
