The results of the small talk
I looked at Tom in absolute disbelief and became dumbstruck. He smirked overconfidently and pulled out his hand to greet Simon.
“Delighted to make your acquaintance… Simon Lynn,” he shook Tom's hand with a cold expression painted all over his face, “Fiancé… right?” he smiled reluctantly and glimpsed at me.
“Tom is kidding!” I laughed nervously and glared at Tom.
“Ana likes to be precise…” Tom smiled warmly at me and stroked my head, then turned to Simon, “Now she is overcautious, because it's not formally stated yet,” he chuckled.
I wanted to protest, deny it and shout madly at Tom for putting me in this uncomfortable situation, but the woman standing next to Simon, beat me in speaking before I was able to verbalize anything.
“Wait… you are THAT Thomas Night?! The photographer?!” she burst out rejoicefully and stepped closer to Tom.

Embracing the Devil Passion
Tom rushed towards the reception pulling my hand, I had a hard time keeping his pace wearing heels. After he exchanged few sentences with a receptionist we walked away from the reception with a hotel keycard and he led me towards the elevators. He played with my hand the entire time stroking the inner side of my palm and caressing each of my fingers.My hearted pounded erratically and my whole body became more and more sensitive to his touch. While we were inside of the elevator his eyes were slowly devouring me piece by piece, I was at the edge of losing control.He opened the door of the apartment and let me enter first. I walked inside with my heart pounding, nervously swaying on my suddenly weakened legs. He turned all the lights on. The room was incredibly elegant and spacious, with a corridor leading to a large bed surrounded by wall-size windows.As soon as the door he took off his suit jacket then threw away his tie. He rushed my way looking at me with f
Embracing the Devil Our morning…
My whole body was worn out… I felt that getting up would be challenging. Only that I wasn't worried about it at all, wasn't worried about anything, all I could do was to smile to my own thoughts, and feel foolishly overjoyed. I couldn't help it, I gave myself a privilege to escape from everything that could destroy my blissful mood.Half of my body along with my head was still lying on Hiro's chest, the other half was glued to his arm. I kept drawing stupid patterns on his chest using my fingers. He didn't stop my hand, even though he observed me smiling and probably wondering what the hell I was doing… Well, I wasn't sure either. I felt like most parts of my brain hung out a sign that said, “out of order”.“We have to get up…” Hiro announced and kissed me on a forehead.After that, he got up… with me lying on him. That was the only reason I was able to sit. But I soon came to realize, that my biggest problem w
Embracing the Devil Another mistake...
It had been three days since Hiro left, and I had been experiencing this kind of longing for someone for the first time. Maybe it would have been different if he hadn't left right after that passionate night we'd spent together. I kept recalling every detail, I could feel that sensation, his touch, and as soon as I was feeling I was able to deal with it, I felt asleep and dreamt about that night!He was genuinely the only person that could make me emotionally unstable up to that point where I suffered from extreme mood swings every ten minutes. I acted like a spoiled child, fortunately, only in front of myself, since I had never contacted him on my own, because I didn't want to disturb him. Nevertheless I felt helpless, unable to control my own, stupid emotions. I was weak, too weak.“Ana, get it together! He didn't left forever, it will be only couple of days! How are you qualified to stand by his side, if you act in that pitiful way?!” I scolded myself ov
Embracing the Devil Defenseless
I got out of the shop with the man in the cap walking in front of me and another one walking right behind me, and probably holding a gun against my back. They led me to some back street, it looked like a perfectly secluded place. Just right to commit a murder. I was shaking and crying out in fear on the inside, but on the outside I did everything I could to pretend being composed.In one moment, the guy walking behind me pushed me to the nearest wall. I turned around and realized that he was indeed holding a real gun the entire time, and now he was pointing it straight at me. I gulped and really wished I still had that tracker Hiro planted on me once.“Miss Kowalsky, let's safe each other's time…” the man in the cap started, “We know that you are in contact with Wang Hiro. We know that up until now, you were constantly protected by people from TK Industries…”“Luckily for us, today, that wasn't the case,” the man
Embracing the Devil Coping with all…
Jay brought me to Samuel for treatment. I didn't even recall how we got there. My mind was blank the entire time, all I did was to smile faintly in a flashing reaction when I realized again that I should be glad that I was still alive. I couldn't remember if I thanked Jay for saving me or not. Moreover, I felt pathetic, I cried inside sinking in self-pity, yet not even a single tear floated out of my eye. I became numb. I heard an indistinct voice coming to my ears, a repeating sound calling familiar syllables, a male voice…“Ana… Ana! Do you hear me?” Samuel kept calling me for some time.“Y…yes,” I replied with a low voice like I was waking up from a dream.“Your neck is quite swollen, try not to force your larynx muscles too much for few days. You might have troubles with speaking louder… but it will pass,” he explained carefully observing my reactions.I could tell that he wasn't sure if
Embracing the Devil The next day
Jay obviously didn't take my words seriously, and in an act of brotherly love told me to hang up, go to sleep and call him again in the morning. I obediently ended that call, but I stood firmly at what I asked for, and I was willing to state that again, as soon as I would wake up.I was going to fall asleep with my mind clear and willing to do anything to convince Jay that learning how to protect myself was crucial for me being together with Hiro… or buying coffee and wine whenever I needed to.I put myself in the good mood… or rather, wine did. I lied comfortably in my bed and I closed my eyes. Seconds later, I saw the blood bursting out of my attacker's neck, I felt pain from the wound on my cheek, and had troubles with breathing, exactly like the time I was being strangled. I kept reminiscing each detail of what happened in the alley. The scenes were played in front of my eyes up until the late morning when I finally decided to open my eyes feeling exh
Embracing the Devil First session
The driver brought me in front of something that looked like an abandoned warehouse. It was a three storeys high building, full of big, dirty windows with no clear development inside. I asked a few times to confirm if it was the right place. The driver told me only to walk through the main entrance.I got off the car, and he drove away… I had nothing left to do but to follow what he said. I got inside through a metal door and found myself inside something that looked like an old, unused for years reception. It looked odd. There was a big desk, cover in dust on my left side, a big wall with no door in front of me, and a small, clean, and completely unmatching the rest of the stuff there, black table on my right. At that point I decided to call Jay.“I'm inside… this reception… or whatever… What do I do now?” I looked forward for any instructions.“Turn around,” Jay chuckled.When I looked behind I saw him
Embracing the Devil Dealing with the pain…
I had hard time walking around my apartment but trying to sit on the toilet was probably the worst… I literally felt every tendon in my body. I laughed out loud at myself realizing how pathetic my condition was. Nevertheless, every sore muscle reminded me, why I decided to do that. That was why, no matter how painful my body was I put an idiotic smile on my face thinking what could be the outcome of that training. Of course, I wasn't dreaming of becoming a fighter, but what if I was able to protect myself, even a little bit, instead of always depending on others?Besides, even if I couldn't help Hiro in his plan for revenge, at least I should stop being such a burden. Certainly, my current state kept telling me I had an incredibly long way ahead of me… Furthermore, I knew that the worst pain would come the next day. I decided to do something to minimize the soreness… and used every possible method I could find online.I ate a lot of vegetables and
