Villain: The Play of Destiny

His deep brown eyes fluttered open and he sat up on his bed, yawning, to wake up his bodily fuctions from sleep. He then stretched out his arms and back, and leaned back, supporting himself on his arms. His eyes drifted towards the clock on the wall and he sighed as he realized that it was almost noon.

He had pulled another long night last night, and it wasn't a night of passion this time. Rather, he and Amelia had been busy working. She had her projects to complete and he had decided to play around on the Stock Market after spending another 100 Million yesterday, which had left him with only a little over twenty Million in his account. And now, after burning the midnight oil, he had an additional 10 Million to play with.

If he was being honest, he was mostly doing it for he found it fun. It was quite an addictive game.

Keith opened the drawer of the side table and took out a digital watch from it. He dialed the first contact, and as soon as the call was picked up, he gave his command.

"Get me something light to eat, and tell Yinying that she will be accompanying me on a run."

"Yes, Young Master." Viola nodded to his words. "I will bring you your breakfast in 15 minutes."

"Make it 20 minutes. I need to freshen up. And Thank you!" Keith nodded and ended the call.

Even if she was no longer his personal maid but served Amelia now, he was used to seeking her for his daily needs. And he was not going to drop this habit anytime soon.

Keith placed the watch on the side table and walked into the dresing room to pick up his clothes and then entered the bathroom to freshen up.

He returned to his room after twenty-five minutes, and found Yinying sitting at the breakfast table, waiting for him.

"Good Morning!" He cheerfully greeted her and planted a kiss on her cheek before taking a seat by her side.

"Good Afternoon, Master!" She greeted him back, which prompted him to chuckle at her words.

"Eat." He commanded and then proceeded to pour her some soup and served her some baked eggs and sausages.

Viola always knew what he preferred in his meals, and as always, she made it herself for him. It was a delicious breakfast, and Keith enjoyed it in silence, not paying much attention to his companion who was just as quiet.

"Where's Amelia?" He asked after he wiped his mouth with the napkin.

"Lady Amelia and Lady Kiara are with your mother. They should be in her room right now." She informed him.

"Kiara's here?" He surpsiedly asked.

"Lady Kiara and Benjamin Angelini came early in the morning. After Lady Amelia informed the family that you had stayed up late, it was decided that you should not be disturbed."

"Where's Ben?" He asked.

"In the second lounge. He is playing around with Milo and Minami, and Viola is there to keep an eye on them."

Keith nodded to her and then stood up.

"Did Caesar make the arrangements?" He lightly asked.

"Yes. As soon as Gouzo decides to do something unfavourable to you, he will be eliminated." She coldly said.

"I hope he lives for a while." He coldly smiled. "There is something really important that I need him to do."

Yingying stayed silent to his words. It was not her place to inquire about his plans. She was just relieved in her heart that her Masted did not trust a man like Gouzo.

"Let's go." He picked the watch and wore it before walking out of the room together with her.

A maid had been waiting in the hallway, and as soon as he passed her, she walked into his room to clean it up.

Ever since the day he had woken up from that nightmare, he had not exercised, and had never got the chance to test his physical endurance. Well, except for in bed, but it was not the right indicator of his physical capabilities.

"Want to race me?" He smirked at her after he set the running mode on his watch.

Yingying glanced at him, and then nodded indifferently.

"Go!" He called out and both of them shot off.

Yes, he was fast, much faster than before, but against Yingying, he was still too slow.

After 500 meters, he simply gave up on catching up to her, and slowed down. She sensed it and lowered her pace too, allowing him to catch up with her.

"You should, at least, let your Master win against you!" He complained.

"Do you want me to go easy on you?" She flatly asked.

"No!" He chuckled and shook his head.

They both kept running at the same pace for over an hour, going around the Demiliore Estate, and then Keith finally felt the fatigue kicking in as he decided to lead her back to the Manor.

Yingying was curiously looking at him panting hevaily, sitting on the steps in front of the Manor.

"What?" He finally asked after his heart calmed down a little.

"You have far more stamina than a normal Auror in the Nascent Profound Realm." She remarked.

"Is that so?" He curiously looked at her and saw her nod to him.

"29.7 Miles in 1h and 26 minutes." He looked at the data on the watch and nodded to himself. "Not bad. It's much faster than those professional Marathon Runners."

"And much faster than people even in the late Nascent Profound Realm." Yingying told him again that his speed and endurance were abnormal.

"It should be because I take good care of my sex life." He nodded to himself. "I am not like some frustrated virgins in their mid-twenties who do not know how blissful and healthy it is." He took a jab at her.

"Are you taking about your bride-to-be?"

Her reply to his jab surpised him and he looked her in the eyes, smiling brightly.

"Oops, did I hit a nerve?" He teased her again.

Yingying narrowed her eyes at him and then looked away, not bothering with his words.

"Come here..." He stood up and pulled her by the hand, pressed her against the cold pillar and leaned in. "You know, I could fix it for you." He mischievously whispered near her ear before softly kissing her cheek and helping her stand on top of his feet to make up for the difference in their heights.

He kept planting kiss on her jawbone and her body trembled to the touch of his lips, making him smile heartily.

"Tell me, Yingying. Has my lovely Shadow ever touched herself down there?" He asked and squeezed her left boob in his hand, which was a perfect fit. "Yes?" He asked again, planting a kiss right under her ear.

Her body was squirming now, and he could feel her anxious heartbeat.

"Yes?" He asked again and lightly nibbled on her earlobe, making her gasp and clutch on his shirt tightly. "I guess, it is a yes..."

"No!" She nearly shouted the answer, and then burned in a blush, trying to hide her face from his eyes.

"No?" He feigned surpise and pulled back a little, scrutinising her.

Yingying's heartbeat quickened under his gaze and then she timidly shook her head, confirming her earlier answer.

"Ahan..." He chuckled and leaned in, capturing her lips with his, and to her anguish, his brazen hand sneaked under her sweatshirt and started playing with her left mound.

"You taste just like cherries, my dear Shadow." He smiled between the kisses and informed her. "I love it."

He really wanted to free her soft pair of boobs from the confines of the sports bra, but decided against it and kept playing them from over the cloth.

"How fun it would be if someone shows up right now and catches us in this state." He chuckled and nibbled on her lower lip.

"Master, please!" Her light brown eyes turned misty as she asked him to stop.

"Why?" He grinned and then sneaked his left hand inside her sweatpants, into her underwear, placing it right on top her tight bubble ass which was a delight to squeeze.

"Not here..." She managed so say those words before he caught her in another kiss.

"Then where?" He teasingly asked, but before he could get an answer, she lightly pushed him away.

A couple of maids walked out of the Manor, and respectfully bowed to him before heading towards their quarters. And Yingying grasped this opportunity to tidy up her clothes and get a hold on her emotions.

However, when she saw him approach her again, her heart betrayed her.

"You haven't answered me yet, dear Yingying." He placed his hands on the pillar on either side of her head, blocking her routes to escape. "Kiss me." He commanded.

Yingying trembled under his command but her body moved on its own, tiptoeing and catching his warn lips that she so desired ever since he had stolen her first kiss.

"Say you love me." He asserted and she yielded in, fearing that if she did not say it, he would never kiss her again.

"I love you." She burned in a furious blush and meekly said.

"Again." He smiled near her ear and demanded.

"I love you!" This time she mustered up enough courage to say it clearly.

"Good girl." He chuckled and planted a kiss on her neck.

"You are precious to me, Yingying. My beautiful Shadow." He smiled and said before setting her free and walking inside the Manor.

There was a fond smile on his lips now, and his mood was great since he had managed to successfully tease his precious Yingying, saving her expressions and words forever in his memory.
