CHAPTER 5: honesty or honestly?

　　Gwen’s POV

　　“I told you, I can only…” I stop talking when I saw Raphael’s face/ I cough. “Like what I said. I am expecting that Grace, the flower in the house of rose will be kidnap by one of the antagonist houses. It can be the your mafia group, or lily, and poinsettia?” I whispered. Their eyes became monstrous. “Hey! I am the writer and those three houses are the antagonist. Oh please, don’t kill me with your glances. You ask me so I have been honest. Like what I said, I only remember what suddenly comes to my mind. I have been pulling an all-nighter to finish my draft? It was literally a poof!” I mumbled and even fidgeted my hands but their faces were the same. “Okay, okay! It’s the house of lily. They will make sure that the blame will be in your mafia group,” I murmured. “That woman, she must be that desperate to control us,” Rahim exclaimed. “I hoe you won’t let her. You shouldn’t believe her lies!” Raffa added. I lean my back and look at them. “The truth is, the character I made for the three of you were base of my fears and hatred about love,” I look at them sadly. “But why?” Rahim ask. I sigh.

　　“The truth is, my best friend who is my maid of honor is like the girls in this story. I’m not beautiful or appealing in any way. She’s a manager of a big firm and she an achiever at work or even in her private life. They start cheating a month after my fiancee proposed to me,” I laugh a little and try to hold back my tears. “You know what my fiancee texted to explain how he snatch my best friends hands instead of holding mine? He said because I’m boring and not someone whom he can proudly say as Mrs. Forbes. That traumatize me and I end up putting all the great physical features on my characters. That suddenly reminded me that my own boyfriend never said that I’m beautiful or sexy,” she mumbled. Her tears fall and she look on us. “I’m sorry for being such a sentimental.”

　　Raphael suddenly kneel on the hospital bed and shed my tears. “Stop telling lies about yourself. You’re not ugly or boring, Gwen. Those were lame excuses of men who cheats on their women,” he mumbled and look at me straightly. “Ehh? A lie?” He nodded. “That’s true, I already use those phrases when I wanted to end my fling to certain women. Or you let me say those words you type is were meant to your ex?” Raffa ask and looks at me. “Uhm… because I can’t forget those words that he said. Its giving me a deep sadness actually.” Rahim suddenly ask. “About Jackie, are you guys hiding something?” I look at him and nod. “Just rest, let the three of us will discuss this matter on our own,” Raphael said. He push me down the bed and pulled the quilt. “Thank you, three sibling.” I close my eyes and act like I’m not scared at all. When I open my eyes, I heard the boys talking about my case. “Kidney transplant… huh? Oh my. Will I be able to have the same problem in my real world?” I mumbled to myself. “We already have the results of our test. We will conduct the transplant for the next few days,” Raffa says. “Hmm? I have a match in this world?” I ask. They take a seat. “All of us are fit to be your donor. But amongst us, Raphael had the highest rate of compatibility,” Rahim added. I look at him. “We will rescue or help the house of rose regarding the kidnapping incident. We already send men to spy on house of lily and to keep Grace safe just in case that your hunch will happen,” he says. I smiled and lean my back on the headboard. “Can I ask? Why did you guys believe me?” I ask. They frowned. “You know every dark secret of us. That’s already a proof, right?” Rahim utters. I simply nod. “Thank you in advance. I owe you my life Ross siblings,” I whispered. “We have names,” they chorus. That made me laugh. “How cute. You three were like triplets!” I exclaimed. They all shook their head because of disappointment. ‘I’m glad because they’re easy to persuade and maybe I can change a little about their lives.’

　　Raphael’s POV

　　Rahim stayed in the hospital and the two of us went home. I took off my coat. “I can’t believe our life is from a story,” Raffa says. “I don’t want to believe her but I am giving her the benefit of the doubt, The mere fact that she knows our past and what kind of woman Mara is, I feel like she’s not making up those stories.” He sigh. “Now the main villain was the house of lily?” he ask. “I guess so,” I mumbled. “Don’t tell me you wanted to stay as the perfect villain of her story and believe that screwed up ex-wife of yours? Come on, Raphael. Give me a break!”

　　“I didn’t say that I will let her manipulating us for her desire to be a mafia queen.” I stated. “You better be. I’ll go upstairs and please! Don’t call that bitch,” he says and went off. I sat down and look at the ceiling. What did you do in your life, Mara? Our maid came and out the tea on the table. “Have some chamomile tea, Sir Raphael.” I grab the cup and take a sip. “Thank you. I won’t eat dinner. I’ll just go to bed to take some rest,” I whispered. “Okay, sir.” She left me and enjoyed the tea. I have to listen to my brother advice or else,I’ll become that perfect villain. I have to take some rest for the transplant in four days. When I woke up in the morning, I realize that I have miscalls since dawn. I returned the call. “Hello, how’s everything?” I ask. “It looks like Ms. Mara was planning something. We are trying to tail them silently. They’re heading to convention center where the leader of the house of Rose will give her speech for a ceremony.” My jaw clenches. “Make sure to tail them. That place is near us. I will be there in few minutes,” I answered and ended the call. I knock in Raffa’s room. “Change now, I think today is that kidnapping incident that Gwen was talking about,” I utter. “Okay, “ he says. We get back in our room and change our clothes. I grab my weapons and went straight to the garage. When he came, I drove the car off. “Did you bring your weapons?” I ask. He nodded. When we reach that place, I heard a commotion. We get down and saw those men who were dragging Grace outside the building. “Get down!” I yelled. She smack that man behind her and get down. We start shooting and they start firing back. “Raffa, go and get her!” I utter. I stood up and run backwards and shoot those two men who were suppose to take her again. “Ms. Grace, come here!” he says. She nodded and went to him. He held her and give her a gun. “I hope you know how to use that,” he says. “What is the meaning of this?” she ask. “Those were members of lilies. Our spy learned their plans of abduction and put the blame on us,” Raffa says. “Go to the car! I’ll take care of the small fry!” I commanded. “What?! No!” he says. “Go!” I yelled. I changed my magazine and cover them as they get inside the car. I ran towards the enemy’s car and kick the man who was about to shoot me. “Boss, we are your new members!” he lies. I smirk. “I know ever faces of the new members!” I stomped her stomach and he groans in pain. I look inside and I saw a certain brooch, I put them inside my pocket and I saw a man that shoot me. I ran away and I got lucky because I was only hit in my shoulder. I landed on the ground and shoot his feet. He stumble and when I stood up, I smack his face and he passed out. I tied him using my necktie and pulled him. I opened our car and Raffa look at the man. I push him on the back seat. “I want to know who really they are. Whether they’re from lily or poinsettia.”

　　“Can I go home now, please?” she says. We nodded and drove the car away. “I knew my husband’s are worried about this incident,” she says. “Can I ask, why did you trust us?” She look at Raffa. “Because I can tell that you guys weren’t hear to be my enemy. My instinct is telling me to trust the bosses of camellia.” We didn’t answer and when we reach their mansion, we saw her men that are all in high alert. We get down. They all pointed their guns on us. “What is the meaning of this?!”
