โBecause they're so fรนcking beautiful and I wouldn't mind paying you to stare at it every darn day!โ
Foiteni stared at him, the tingles in her body getting much worse.
Alejandro kissed the mark again, but this time he didn't just plant a quick kiss, he left his lips on it, suรงking and licking it.
Foiteni's arms digged into his skin, as she moaned lightly, it felt like whatever sound came out of mouth, turned him on even more.
โBrujita!โ He whispered and she blinked, confused.
โWh..what does that mean?โ She asked with a tiny gasp and he looked up at her.
โIt means little witch!โ She said and She frowned.
When is he going to change the nickname?
โI still don't like it!โ She mumbled and He shrugged.
โAnd I still don't care!โ He answered.
โDevil!โ She said before she could control herself and he shrugged.
โ********โ
It must have been the Mexican word for Devil, and the way he had that reassuring brow, it felt like he was happy that she called him one.
Urgh.
His arms trailed down her neck, down her shoulders and landed on her tittรฌes.
He gave them gave a hard and quick squeeze making A short gasp released from her mouth.
She shut her eyes, obviously enjoying his fingers, rubbing against her nippฤบรจs but then he stopped.
She opened them back and their eyes met again.
โWhy did you stop?โ She asked but then scolded herself inwardly for how needy she sounded.
Ewww.
โYou know about the masquerade ball?โ He started off and She frowned.
He stopped cuz of a party with people wearing stupid mask and oversized gowns?
Pfft.
โYeah, I do!โ She answered and He trailed his fingers over the mark.
He sure loves it.
And she thinks she does too.
โAre you planning on going?โ He asked again and she thought for a moment.
Was she?
The answer was no.
She had plans to do nothing but relax the whole day in her room, With a good novel and Zero to none disturbance.
โNo, I didn't have plans!โ She mumbled and He nodded.
She looked closely into him and could detect..
Skepticism?
Like he was worried about saying something?
Almighty Alejandro was worried?
About what?
โWould you..like to go with me?โ He asked slowly and She blinked, Surprised.
Did he just ask her out?
That was unexpected.
โYou want to Go, with me?โ She asked, pointing at herself with her forefinger and he Nodded.
โYeah, unless you have other plans, I don't Care anyway!โ He said with a nonchalant shrug and She smiled.
If only he knows how hot he looked right now, she was almost drooling over him.
Almost.
โUhm..yeah!โ She said and he arched an eyebrow.
โYeah what?โ
โYeah, I would love to go to the ball with you!โ
โWay to make it sound medieval, Brujita!โ He said and She laughed, a small smile appeared on his lips, but as usual, he wiped it off again before she could see it.
Her eyes went up to the wall clock and it widened beyond control.
It was few minutes after 4, All classes ended by 3 and she's not back at the orphanage.
Ms Lucia is going to flip!
โOh no!โ She mumbled, sitting up quickly, still staring at the wall clock.
โMs Lucia is going to kill me!โ She mumbled to herself, as she picked up her stuff, about heading out but Alejandro held her arms.
โI'll drive!โ He said in a tone that clearly stated that there wasn't room for disagreement, plus, she really needed it if she wants to get there a little bit earlier.
She nodded and he left her arm as they walk out of the suite, heading down to lawn, towards their parked cars.
Foiteni sighted Isabella and Someone, walking towards the lot also.
โIsa!โ She called, waving, Alejandro released a short sigh, but said nothing.
Isabella and Axel turned, both of them surprised to see Alejandro besides her.
Foiteni jogged towards the Duo, a wide smile on her face, which disappeared immediately she saw Isabella's face up close.
โIsa!โ She said again and Isabella smiled, though it was fluttering.
โFoiteni!โ She said also, and Foiteni's fingers went to her cheek.
โWho did this to you..?โ She asked, the anger in her eyes visible.
โOh, it's Noone, i..โ
โDo not lie to me, isabella!โ She snapped and Isabella was taken aback.
Never has she seen foiteni make a fuss like this one before.
Foiteni was a sweet heart, who could overlook most things.
But she obviously didn't like her friends getting hurt.
That thought alone, brought a genuine smile to her face.
โIt was..arabella!โ
Now, it's Foiteni's turn to be taken aback.
โAra..bella?โ She asked slowly and Isabella nodded, her gaze down.
โWhy?โ She asked, but with the tear trailing down Isabella's cheek, it was obvious, she didn't want to talk about it.
Foiteni was about to dismiss it all, when she said.
โBecause of Mr Elliot!โ
โHer crush?โ She asked in awe and Isabella nodded.
โHe said he wanted her to be his girlfriend!โ She mumbled and Foiteni frowned.
โSeriously? That doesn't make any sense! He didn't even show her any sign, not to bring up the matter of courting her, Don't tell me she agreed to it! If it was me, I wouldn't have, especially since he didn't court or pursue her earnestly, with gifts or anything that shows love! Mate or Not, He doesn't deserve her!โ Foiteni said, Alejandro who had followed her quietly, arched a brow at what she said while Isabella looked up at her with a sad smile, happy that someone saw it from her perspective.
โI tried to tell her that, to explain to her everything, but this red mark on my cheek was what I got!โ
Foiteni didn't know whether to be surprised, sad, angry or hurt.
As much as she understood Arabella choice, given the fact that she had been in love with Elliot for so long, she didn't comprehend why she would slap her blood sister for a mere mate?
Arabella and Isabella are close.
Not just because they are twins, but they share a bond that Is much more stronger than that of any normal being, twin or not.
But then, She slapped her cuz of elliot?
Was the mate bond that strong?
More reasons why she's so eager to know why she had betrayed Alejandro in her first life.
โI'm short of words!โ She mumbled and Isabella held her arms.
โDon't think too much about it, she'll come around!โ
Foiteni could do nothing but nod, her gaze shifting to the guy who she recognized now.
She had seen him with Arabella lots of times, and with the way he usually simp over her, it's enough evidence that he likes her.
โThis is Axel, He's A Wizard!โ She said and Axel smiled at foiteni.
โGreat to meet you, Foiteni!โ He said sincerely, extending his arms for a shake.
Immediately, Foiteni took it with a smile and Alejandro's lips curled up with a slight frown.
When Axel didn't let go for a while, he separated the arms by himself and Axel glanced at him, he glared back at Axel who had to shift back from the intimidating gaze while foiteni Blush lightly.
โAnyway! Let's close this matter! Are you going to the ball?โ Isabella asked and Foiteni nodded.
โYeah, I'm going with andro..Alejandro!โ She quickly corrected and Isabella nodded, obviously trying hard to mask her happiness.
โI'm going too, Axel is taking me!โ She said and Foiteni smiled.
โYou can discuss more tomorrow, Foiteni, let's go!โ Alejandro said with a hard voice as he grabbed her arms, pulling her away.
She waved quickly at Isabella and Axel who waved at her also.
โDid Alejandro vista just..?โ
โYup!โ Isabella answered with a nod before he could finish and they both chuckled, heading to his car.

โDude!โ Antonio yelled and Aiden finally let go him, his butt hitting the marbled floor in a thud.
โOuch!โ He groaned, glaring secretly at Aiden who didn't seem to care.
โWhat was that about?โ Antonio asked, hu***ng with anger and Aiden shrugged.
โI had to drag you with me, Since your little brain couldn't understand the fact that they needed space!โ He said with a shrug and Antonio glared this time, more openly.
โYou wanna leave her alone with him?โ He asked and Aiden glanced at him with a furrowed brow.
โYou wanna listen to their s*x tape in there?โ He countered and Antonio rolled eyes.
โGosh! I still don't trust her, I feel like she knows something!โ He mumbled and Aiden arched an eyebrow.
โKnows what?โ He asked and Antonio shrugged.
โI don't know! I just felt like she does, I mean, think about it, we don't know why they both fainted, and when Alejandro woke up she asked him if he โrememberedโโ
โShe could have being referring to anything, The Calender, Her birthday, Her Mum's birthday!โ He said and Antonio frowned.
โHe doesn't have a mum..!โ
โWell, Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Antonio!โ He sneered, bringing out a cigar stick from his pocket along with a lighter.
He lit it and began smoking it excessively.
โI just feel like something isn't right!โ Antonio mumbled again, and Aiden Scoffed.
โYou know, You should be very much the last person who would say this, given the fact that you are still very much in love with your mate, who, incase you've forgotten, rejected you!โ He snapped and Antonio's eyes widened in surprise.
โHow did you..โ
โNo secret can be hidden from me, I have my ways!โ He mumbled and Aiden was just about to say something when Snow appeared, looking as beautiful as ever in her white gown.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and She had a smile plastered on her face.
โHello!โ She said cheerfully and Antonio's mood changed immediately he saw her.
Aiden took the cue to leave, As Antonio stared at Snow, whose arms were folded.
โAntonio..โ She called softly.
โHey..Snow!โ He said to her, trying to mask his awkwardness, but her smile only widened.
โHow are you doing? I totally saw what happened last time, I was so worried!โ She said with sad eyes and made to reach out to touch him but he took some steps back and her arms fell.
โYeah, I'm okay now!โ He said and She nodded with that same smile, trying to hide the hurt in her face.
Antonio couldn't resist, and he was so forced to ask her his undying question.
โIs rain still mad at me?โ He asked and Snow's smile fell in an instant.
โRain?โ She asked and he Nodded.
She wanted to cry, wanted to pour all the hurt In her, right here and right now, but she comported herself and fixed on another smile.
Though, Shaky.
โYes, She's still very mad, infact, madder!โ She said and Antonio's arms went Through his hair in a hurry.
โDo you happen to know anything? Anything I could do to bring her back to me? I love her, I still do!โ
โIf only he knew the amount of bullet flying into my heart, just by his wordsโ
She throught but then nodded.
โYeah, I would love to help you, meet me at our suite, by 12 pm sharp, tomorrow! Don't be late!โ She said and Antonio held her arms, shaking it happily.
โThank you! Thank you so much!โ She was enjoying his feels around her, but then he just had to retract.
She nodded and Scurried off immediately, a victorious smile on her face.
If she couldn't get him the easy way, she'll have to do it the SNOW way.
And of course, it's not a good way to go.

Kaila was walking across the road, her mind and thoughts somewhere else.
Her phone was clutched to her fingers and the way she was squeezing it was almost like, she had the urge to break the phone into smithereens.
The Traffic Light turned Red and she began crossing the road, walking slowly and oblivious of everything, when it turned Yellow and Then Green.
Not even the violent honking from the drivers was able to snap her out, nor the Car that swiftly swayed pass all of them, heading straight for her.
When she finally looked up, she felt herself being pulled and didn't know what was going on until she landed on the pedestrian sidewalk.
She glanced up to see the face of her savior, and her brow knotted in a frown when she was that it was Alfredo.
โYou?โ She asked, the displeasure in her eyes too obvious.
โWay to acknowledge your savior, Ungrateful pimp!โ He muttered at her and stood up, dusting away on his clothes.
Kaila stared at him, her lips trembling like she was about to say something but couldn't.
โWhat the hell happened to her? The brave and fearless girl who would take on anything in the world as long as it boosts her fรนvking ego, what happened to the real kaila?โ He questioned angrily and All she could do was stare.
Seeing her helpless state, Alfredo sighed.
Gosh, as much as it pains him to say, he does feel hurt for what is going on with her and he still doesn't know why.
โIf you need someone to talk to, I'm always here okay?โ He said, more softly this time.
โI'm always here for you, anytime you needโฆโ
โFreddyy!โ A voice squealed and She looked up to see Sofia, a smile on her face as she pounced on Alfredo, dropping kisses on his.
โI missed you!โ She said with a pout and he chuckled.
โI was only gone for three minutes!โ
โThat's 180 long minutes!โ She groaned and He chuckled, placing a kiss on her forehead.
Kaila felt her stomach churn immediately as the two of them left, Alfredo completely forgetting she was there.
She stood up and dusted her body, when she received a text.
With shaky hands she checked it, and it was obviously the person she suspected.
> That Near Hit And Run? It was just the start of it, If you don't give me what I want, I'll kill you and take it forcefully, myself.
Kaila hands shook as she stared at the text, but then the presence of someone made her look up.
Adrien appeared besides her, a worried look on his face.
โAre you okay?โ He asked and She immediately hugged him, crying heavily on his shoulders while he petted her.

Priscilla came down from her car and headed into the mansion, ignoring the maids greetings as she walked in.
Her mum was in the kitchen with a maid, who was preparing Dinner.
Priscilla walked toward her slowly, and the woman looked up as a smile appeared on her face immediately.
โGood evening mum!โ She greeted and Silvia beckoned for her to come closer.
โMy pretty angel, How was school?โ She asked and Priscilla smiled thinly.
โIt was great, mum!โ
โThat's awesome, my dear!โ She said and faced the maid, who was preparing the meal under her watch.
Priscilla expected her to ask if she had been to the hospital to see her dad, but the fact that she didn't, only confirmed one thing. Her worst fear.
Silvia was spying on her.
The maid's arms Shoke, she obviously didn't like being under so much pressure, and accidentally she spilled some of the hot oil on Silvia's gown.
โWhat the hell!?โ She yelled as the young maid, Either 16 or 17, Began crying earnestly.
โI'm sorry ma'am!โ She pleaded but that only seemed to get her more angry.
She grabbed the half of the oil content and emptied it on the Girl's face.
Her eyes widened as the girl fell, hellish screams Flowing out of her lungs and Priscilla's mouth hung in shock.
โWhat the fรนck, mum!? Are you crazy?โ Priscilla snapped in anger, staring at the girl with pity, but that was a big mistake, cuz immediately, Silvia grabbed the other half, pouring it on Priscilla's face also.
She fell and screamed out in pains, Her skin burning away already, in less than 10 seconds, she fell down, her burnt face hitting the ground with a thud and her body going numb.
Silvia rolled her eyes, Spitting on both priscilla and the maid, who was still yelling, before walking out of the kitchen.
