Eiran Celestino


"You should at least let me know beforehand". I stated. I'm genuinely concerned for her. Her face looked pale to me, I observed. What's the matter with her?

She remarked, "I'm fine, I'm just tired."

"Avoid telling lies." I added, She can't look me in the eye because I can see. Is there anything she's attempting to hide?

"Why would I tell you a lie?" She spoke quietly.

"All right, we're heading to the doctor for your check-up." Saying that, I got up.

"No, I'm fine." She spoke in an irritated tone.

"What's on your mind right now?" She's definitely got something haunting her. Her health doesn't seem good to me.

"Nothing". she said simply.

"Mysha," I said smoothly. I grab her hands to hold gently and I continue "You can share anything you want. I'll do anything for you because you are my love."

At last, she looked directly into my eyes. Like always, her brown eyes are driving me wild. She truly wants to convey her ideas, but something is preventing her from doing so. Her eyes have softened now. It's okay if she chooses not to reveal it at this time. I'm not going to force her. I should give her space. Her mental state would be disturbed by being forced.

I smiled warmly at her and said, "It's fine." She suddenly gave me a hug. In an instant, I gave her an open hug. I'm caressing her gorgeous, long, silky hair. It feels really wonderful.

Perfect. All I want is this.

"I'm feeling better now". As we're clutching each other, Mysha remarked.

That's good to hear from her, too.

"All right, time to head out for your—." She interrupted me and said "I don't want to go for a check-up, All I need is some sleep."

She continues "and I'm sorry for disappearing without informing you". She said as she turned her face from the opposite direction. I grab her cheeks, gently with my one hand to see her.

"It's fine". I said as I admired her. Beautiful.

"Okay so please do some rest. When you feel better, give me a call." I stated.

"Of course". Her voice was weak, so she spoke gently.

I abruptly turned to look into her eyes and then into her lips as she watched me. I gave her a quick kiss on the lips. A few seconds later, she followed likewise.

I drag her away as soon as we run out of breath. The kiss was tender and light.

"Goodbye, I'll give you a call once I'm feeling better." She said, I wish I could stay with her now, but I think she would be disturbed by my presence. I won't mind though. I should give her some space.

I stood up and said "take care bellissima". I said as I tucked some hair strands behind her ear. She grinned lightly as a response.

I decided to leave the place. But for the moment, let her rest peacefully.

My phone started buzzing all of a sudden. It's Matteo phoning.

"Mr. Eiran Celestino! Salve!" Matteo greets me.

"Potresti dirmi il motivo della sua telefonata?" I said dryly. If it's about a deal then I'm interested otherwise go to hell.

(Translation: Tell me the reason for your call).

"Signore, il motivo della mia chiamata è che il signor Alessandro è d'accordo sul contratto e desidera incontrarla." he said in his thick Italian accent.

(Translation: Sir, the reason for my call is that Sir Alessandro has agreed to the agreement and wants to meet with you.)

He agreed. Interesting.

"Hello, my son." Miranda addresses me. I arrived at my dad's office after I left Mysha home. I'm here just to tell my dad about the deal between Luciano and me. I can see Miranda is also here with her husband.

"He's not your son right now. He's a COO of the Celestino corporation now." My dad said.

Fuck it.

"Am I correct?" He turned to look at me and inquired.

"Yeah-right." I said, giving a head nod.

"So, I'd like to let you know that I handled the deal with Luciano as the COO of Celestino Company." I stated. I can feel my tone is rude. That is my desired outcome.

"Fantastic", he says sourly.

Nobody is speaking here as though I forced them to stop. I made the decision to depart after a minute. It might be dangerous for me to stay here for one more minute. Suddenly, as I was walking out, my father exclaimed, "Eiran! Take a seat over here. I'd like to speak."

He's insane.

I simply went back inside and sat down in front of him without replying.

"Is there no more evidence?" He asked me out of the blue. Furthermore, I am aware of the type of proof he is referring to. I detest that shit so much. It was during the Gigi and Riggs incident that my own father made me perform horrible deeds. I will never, ever forgive him.

"Yes," I replied in a tone as detached as his. There is fire inside of me that I can feel.

"You already know the extent of my efforts to make my position inside the Luciano Mafia more acceptable. Don't ever even dare to change my status." Observing me closely, he remarked.

Fuck off.

"Why would I act in this manner? I'm not crazy." Like you. Certain things are better left unsaid.

Even so, I felt like I was pushing against the walls of hell after this incident. My life was a living hell because of my own father. To keep his wealth and status stable, he is willing to kill anyone. Being like him is not what I want.

"Fantastic". he stated.
