"Is everything okay?" Aycxe was curious on the earpiece.We're about to launch our invasion. We are currently on the structure where our enemies are.This attack has advantages and disadvantages. We may infiltrate more easily than into the land of the opponent since they are all strong together. The only issue is that the life of Sophia's brother is at risk."Move," Aycxe ordered without emotion, and then we acted on our planned tasks.I quickly and carefully went around the building to attach the bombs. Noella, on the other hand, was watching over us and informing us from the earpiece if she saw any enemies, as well as the places we should go. Shiela and Aycxe, on the other hand, fought the enemy's underlings as we made our way in. I couldn't see Matthew; he was probably checking where our friend was.Every floor we pass, I put a bomb. There's no way that I will let this freaking building stand."Bow." I ordered Shiela in front of me, which she immediately did.I quickly fired my gun
The next few days were like a roller coaster ride of emotions. As Aycxe planned, we immediately invaded and destroyed Leonardo's territory after we rested. We were full of pity for our friend when she found out what happened to Matthew. Fear rose in my chest while seeing her grief, and I will admit that I was even more afraid at that point for Jairon and me. Even if I can't accept my feelings for him, I know that I will act like Sophia if the time comes when something bad happens to Jai.I'm not underestimating his ability to protect himself. I just know that our opponents are not random. Matthew, who is skilled in fighting, has reached this situation; how about normal people like Jairon? The Ktinódis were treacherous and brutal in their actions, which is one of the reasons why I chose to stay away from my family while expanding my fighting skills. I don't want the enemy to use them as bait or as pressure."You're so focused on your tablet. Are you activating a bomb?" Shiela was curio
"How is it?" I simply whispered into my earpiece while walking up a flight of stairs. Wearing a black side shoulder bodycon velvet dress, I swiftly walked into the 2nd floor area. "I already put Sophia's sleeping pills on everyone's drink. We have two minutes before it affects the first group of victims," Shiela said on the line. "Okay. I'm about to finish here," I said simply and adjusted my black mask. "Hey, pretty lady, want some drinks?" an American inviting me. I just flashed a seductive smile and slowly shook my head. "I'm already tipsy," I let slip, and I passed him completely."Pretending to be uninterested, girl," teased Shiela on the line."Shut the fuck up, Shiela. Maybe you forget that my blood is still boils for you." I simply walked over so that others would not notice my silence.We are now in a masquerade ball, a gathering formed by the traitors in our group.Shiela chuckled at the line. "It's your fault, Rose," she reminded me.I tormented her even though she was
"He's alive..." I just shook my head while riding in my car.It's been a month since the incident, and we are all shocked to know that Matthew—Sophia's lover—is alive.I ran my fingers through my hair and started revving the car's engine. I was about to run it when my tab suddenly vibrated for a notification. I caught a glimpse and immediately started the car when I saw it.He's leaving. My previously attached cameras still remain attached. I didn't remove it, even though I wasn't watching him anymore. It was by chance that the notification caught my attention.I smiled rawly as the car sped up. Ever since I saw the scene in the parking lot, I haven't spoken to Dela Merced. He would often wait for me outside my unit to try to talk to him, which I repeatedly refused.What else are we talking about?I was planning to go straight home, but I decided to take a walk at the mall first. I feel like I've been under a lot of stress these past few days, and even though I know the reason, I'm t
"Don't force yourself to move, Quennie," Jairon said firmly when I was about to wash what we ate.It's been three days since my wound was stitched. For someone like me who is used to different types of pain, my wound has no effect."How can I not? I am fvcking here in your house, in your family's house to be specific," I snorted softly and simply looked at the top of the stairs to make sure his parents couldn't see us.Cursing came out of my mouth as soon as I woke up in their house. I don't know if I will be ashamed of Jai suddenly bringing me here or afraid of what they might think of me because I was hit with a gun when I came here.I've never cared about the opinions of those around me; this is the first time I've been so concerned, as if I'd do anything just to improve my image of them.Jairon smiled and stood up from his seat. He came to me and grabbed the plate I was holding."You've been too conscious these past few days," he pointed out to me.I rolled my eyes and glared at h
"Thank you," Jairon said as he sat on my side.We are here now in the garden of their house, sitting while looking at the stars and the shining moon."For what?" I looked at him with one eyebrow raised.He didn't look at me; instead, he just stared at the night sky as his lips formed a little smile. "If it wasn't for what you did, I might not be with my sister now," he said.I took a deep breath and also looked at the sky. "Anyone would do what I did if they were in my position," I said softly.There was a moment of silence between us. I could clearly hear the chirping of crickets."That's when I fully understood your feelings." He paused again.I looked at him slowly. He forced a smile, then glanced at me."Your pain, your hatred, your regrets."I was stunned for a moment and looked away. I was speechless because I didn't know what I should say at this time."I really understand now the fear of losing anyone."I smiled bitterly and stared at the moon. "It hurts to lose a loved one,"
Unlike before, my family and I had a happy dinner. If there is something in my heart that is sad because I often remember Quenevere, I ignore it first.For the first time, I decided to spend the night at our house. I went to my room and slowly looked around.Nothing changed. That was the first thing I noticed. The furniture, beds, and other things were not even removed from their places. I sighed and laid down on my bed. I stupidly looked at the ceiling while remembering the fun times Quenevere and I used to have.A few moments later, I heard three knocks at the door. It slowly opened until I saw Daddy's image. He stared at me, then roamed his eyes around my room. He smiled slightly before walking in, closer to me.I got up and then observed his behavior. He sat by my side as silence enveloped the two of us."It was a few years ago..." He broke the silence.I didn't say anything and let him continue."That day, I blamed myself for what happened. I feel like I'm a very useless father
The next day, I could feel the difference in Jairon, like he was restless or something."Are you having diarrhea?" I was curious when I couldn't stand his look anymore.He even beat the one who was about to poop as he sweated it all out. He was at my condo again after he got dressed at his house. I'm currently fixing my appearance in the mirror while watching him rub his hand slowly.He quickly fixed us up and then looked at me. He even smiled at me and shook his head."I am just... excited," he said.My lips twitched because of that. "We often go out on dates, but now you've changed," I said with a shrug.He just laughed, though it seems like he was forced to do it. "Don't mind me. Just continue fixing yourself."I rolled my eyes at him and continued tying my hair. I put a little powder on my face and lipstick to finish my makeup."Let's go." I stood up and held out the mini-bag I had prepared.He looked at me from head to toe and smiled. "Gorgeous," he commented.My cheeks automatic
