Chereads / The Mafia King's Lover: Taming Red / Chapter 5 - The kiss (Part : 1)

Chapter 5 - The kiss (Part : 1)

Jessica's point of view: 

I will leave this ridiculous place, then I will find my nanny, then leave along with her where Marco can't find us. 

It seems too easy; again, it shouldn't be as complicated. 

First, I need to not draw attention to my plan. That's why I will start by doing what I am told to do. 

I made my way toward the bathroom, and the first thing I did was to stand and face the vast mirror. My reflection doesn't seem very much like my old reflection. 

I looked like someone who's been slipping away from ghosts, not that my situation was any different. I mean, I was locked in a room alongside a dead body. 

My pale skin looks way paler than it ever was. My hair was looking dirty; the dark crimson red of blood ruined my natural red hair. 

I felt disgusted by how I was looking. 

I made my way under the shower. The cold water runs all over my body, making me feel a bit too free. Once I was out of the bath, I found two young girls waiting for me. 

"Miss, can I help you?" 

She asked in a funny accent, the same Marco uses. Yet, he kind of looks sexy while speaking that way, while she looks funny. 

Wait...? Did I just call him sexy? Yes, I did. 

The hell is wrong with me? The guy is a sociopath who kidnapped me and might kill me in any second. I shook my head, throwing out all sorts of thoughts and ideas that were running inside my mind. Then I answered the girl who spoke to me. 

"Oh, I'm fine... I don't recall asking for any help." 

She then cut me off from speaking and repeated it differently than before. "We are here to help you dress up..." 

I cut her off and declined her offer. 

"No, no, no... I don't need any help. I can dress myself by myself." 

"You don't get it, Miss... It's an order from the Master himself, and you don't get to refuse anything that comes up from the Master." 

Great! Now I don't even have the freedom to wear my own clothes. I don't know what I've done to deserve such a punishment from God... Still, I won't be accepting such a fate, not for too long. 

As much as I wanted to shout at the two girls, to get them out. I still know that they were only following orders 

I faked a smile on my face, then I let them do as they were told. One of the girls, started by drowning my hair.

Meanwhile, the other one brought a very short, V-neck, white dress. Then helped me wear that dress, without ruining my hair. 

The dress was short but cute. And honestly speaking, I liked it. I never looked that attractive before. 

Right after I was done, both the girls left the room. 

I stood still, looking at my reflection in the mirror, and I loved it. I even wonder why I've never looked that way.

Lost in my thoughts, I was that I didn't notice someone getting inside the room until his reflection was placed next to mine. 

Marco was standing by my side, watching my each and every move like a hunter observing his prey. 

There was something in the way his eyes were eyeing me. Something that I didn't like, so I decided to speak. 

"I'm ready!" 

He didn't say a thing; he only kept uncomfortably staring at my body. I know I could've used that to my liking. Still, that's not me. 

So, instead of getting close to him, I decided to get him away. 

"My eyes are here, up!" 

" Nah... I'm not interested in your eyes." The shameful jerk state."You should think about wearing dresses quite often." 

"Stay away!" I warned him when I noticed that he was getting way too close to me. Of course, he ignored my warning, which caused me to step behind unconsciously. 

While trying to avoid him, I stumbled and was about to fall. I don't know if I should call it a good coincidence or not. But his hand quickly found its way toward my waist, keeping me from falling. 

Electricity ran all over my body, and I lost the ability to breathe. I never felt that way; my heartbeats were on the verge, and it wasn't because I was afraid.

His face was inches away from mine, which gave me a full view of his oceanic, magnificent blue eyes. Unwittingly, my eyes moved from his eyes toward his lips. 

They looked glamorous, and I wanted to taste them. Suddenly, those deliciously looking lips started moving toward mine. 

My mind was warning me that I should escape, but my body had already given up on the sweet feeling I was feeling. I closed my eyes as I didn't want to break the sweet moment, and I waited patiently for the kiss to happen.
