Prologue

"Did you enjoy it?" Keyller gently asked as he landed a smooching kiss on Freesha's porcelain skin. He could feel faint heat emitting from it as he slowly licked and savored it. Freesha is just so amazing. Just having her in his arms calmed him. The beast inside him didn't trigger. Fuck! I am whipped!

Keyller didn't realize when it started, but he did not despise this fact. She likes Freesha. Freesha is the only woman who could make his heart beat faster and bend his no-woman rules! Everything that he does must involve the woman in his arms. In short, she was included in all of his life plans.

Well, having her as my Countess is not a bad idea! He smiled inwardly as he thought about it. But because he didn't want Freesha to know about his feelings, he kept them to himself.

Freesha grinned innocently and turned her body to face the man who was busying himself on her skin. They had just finished their exercise in bed and it was the first time for Freesha. Ever since Keyller brought her to Ireland, they haven't had body contact. It was only today that she succeeded in pursuing him. What she didn't know was that Keyller hates touching girls and he was afraid that he might kill Freesha after their love-making like what he always does to all the women he bedded.

Freesha's body was aching all over. She felt like a truck had run over her. But she didn't regret that she gave in to the man beside her.

"Yes, I enjoyed it so much.'' She leaned over to kiss Keyller on the lips before facing him again. Their legs tangled with each other and Freesha could feel that the thing in between his legs was already up and massive. She still remembered how good it was having it inside her, even though it hurt because it was her first time, she still felt the pleasure.

Her hands softly smoothed Keyller's face. "You are so good, Rafe. I don't mind doing it with you again and again." Freesha flirtatiously said and she grinned widely. Her white rows of teeth showed, making Keyller's heart beat rapidly.

Keyller moved and flipped her until she was beneath him before he hovered over her gorgeous face. Her smile was still on her as she wound her arms around his neck.

"I am more than willing to do it with you, again and again, Rafe. Please don't ignore me from now on." Freesha kissed Keyller's lips quickly. She looked into his eyes with fondness and her gaze held the truth of what she felt deep inside.

Keyller blew a soft breath but before he could answer, a knock was heard outside. It was held with urgency, making the couple on the bed resigned and helplessly looking at each other.

"I won't. I won't ignore you anymore, Frey. I'm sorry for my past behavior. I am just afraid I will do something that will lead you to hate me. I can't accept that," Keyller answered earnestly. He flipped his body and now Freesha was on top of him. He looked at her intently.

"So, are we going to do that every time now? You know. . . Me, you... on the bed?"

Keyller's shoulders vibrated as he let out a low chuckle upon hearing Freesha. He was amused by her innocence. But this innocence made him like her even more.

"Yes, baby. Let's do it more often. Every day, every hour. I will make you feel good." He lowered his face to take a peck at her moistened lips before biting and nibbling them. The knock on the door was long forgotten.

"So, will we just do it every day? Not eating? We are not going out?"

Keyller laughed. Freesha is still innocent as ever. His shoulders were shaking because he was delighted. "Baby, of course, we're going to eat. Going out. I can also take you to tour the Kingdom you have long wanted the most. Would you like that?"

Freesha grinned and also took a quick kiss on his lips. "Yes, I want to," she excitedly answered.

Keyller was about to dip his head down to kiss her when the series of knocking on the door was heard again. This time it was hurrying them to open the door.

Keyller frowned and his brows knitted as he let out a frustrated sigh. "I gotta kill those bastards who keep disturbing us."

But Freesha didn't press on. She didn't want to hold Keyller up if there was an urgent matter. "You can go first." She pushed Keyller out of bed and he silently complained. But he was pouting and Freesha couldn't help but smile because she found it cute. "It doesn't matter even if you make cute faces, you still need to go and check them out. I don't want your assistant to glare at me again. So scary!"

Keyller gave up. With one last kiss, he left her still lying on the bed and proceeded toward the door. After he walked out, Freesia wanted to go back to sleep but was interrupted when Keyller's assistant went inside and walked directly toward the bed. But she only rolled her eyes as an acknowledgment of her presence.

"What are you still doing here? Rafe is already outside."

The assistant stared at her like pointing daggers before answering. "You think Rafael will get serious with you because he bedded you? A naive woman like you is not fit to be a Countess, so, go back to your village," the assistant said. Her voice was full of contempt as if seeing Freesha as the suspect that killed her father.

But Freesha frowned and wrapped the blanket around her naked body before she sprang up to sit. "What did you say? What Countess are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending that you don't know that Rafael is an Earl. I know you are using your innocence to trap Rafe so that he will make you the ruler of the Kingdom. You are not worthy!"

Freesha's eyes darkened and she let out a soft chuckle. When she looked into the assistant's eyes, a hint of mischievousness was written on her face. "Rafe is an Earl? Earl of what?" she asked curiously. Her heart suddenly felt a strong foreboding about the assistant's answer.

"Don't fuck with me! I know for sure that you know that Rafe is the Earl of Ulster. No matter, you still won't stand a chance against the royalties that link to Rafe. He just needed to choose one of them to marry and he could toss you like garbage." The assistant continued talking.

But it didn't affect Freesha. With the blanket wrapped around her body, she climbed down the bed next to the woman degrading her. "No matter if it is me, or that fucking royal beauty you are bubbling about, I don't care. You are not the one to decide, so shut the fuck up and go out!" She pointed to the door. Her attitude changes to a hundred and eighty degrees if she is not facing Keyller, making the assistant tremble in fright. She always thought that Freesha was an innocent and naive woman. She couldn't believe that she was showing her claws right in front of her when Rafael was not around.

The assistant harrumphed and stomped her feet as she turned her back away, leaving Freesha alone in the room. And Freesha quickly went into the bathroom after picking up her phone on the bedside table. Her bathroom is the only room with no CCTV camera; she could only hide inside there to prevent someone from eavesdropping or wiretapping.

When she settled herself in the bathroom, she hurriedly dialed a number. She was excited by what the assistant had told her. At the same time, conflicted feelings were brewing inside her.

"Hello?"

"My target is confirmed. Rafael is the Earl of Ulster." As soon as the other person answered, Freesha reported. There was happiness dancing in her eccentric golden eyes.

"You know what to do, Lot 520. Finish him as fast as you can. The big bosses are waiting for some good news."

"Copy."

After the call ended, Freesha took out the prepaid sim and flushed it inside the toilet bowl to clear off the evidence and no one could track her contact. She flashed a sweet smile as she dropped the blanket before stepping into the shower area.

"Let the game begin, Earl of Ulster. Keyller Rafe Hayes, I am here to deliver you to your death's door."
