"She's back." The group of people were coming to them, they greeted them by nodding their heads. Especially the woman who's currently holding a gun."Why are you with such a thing? You might kill someone here, do you know how to use that right?" Vanessa can't stop herself but to ask as she was curious about it. Estella smirked at her, pointing it to her head. "If I shoot you right now and hit you in the head, it means that I don't know how to use it but if I pulled the trigger and you weren't hit by the bullet, it means I know how to handle guns." Vanessa raised her eyebrows upon looking at the gun that is currently pointing at her. Ashleigh smirked. "Hey, don't be nervous," she said and patted Vanessa's shoulder. "It's not even have one bullet inside.""Who is nervous? I am not, and will never. I am faster than her, I know." She replied."You said it, child."Estella patted her shoulders, causing her to look at her aunt. "Where is your father? I have been looking for him since ear
I didn't imagine that it would be like this! I know dad knows what he is doing but this identity doesn't suit me at all. I wanted to switch to Ashleigh but she didn't let me. Argh, I think I have been standing here for a long time even though I just started, checking these ugly people who were going inside the fucking building. I don't even know what they are doing inside since I know we aren't allowed to go anywhere except for this. My feet hurt and I think it became numb. I should really have taken that one.I want to go inside too and help them do the mission. I am acting like a look out for this. This is only the first time I did this part in any mission since I always want to be the spotlight, but nevermind, I will make sure I will not take any after this.After some minutes more, once Ashleigh told me to make a scene I smiled widely. Finally, there is something I can do here right now. I thought of anything to do and wickedly smiled once I saw of this man beside me. An idea came
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V"How could you?" Avria disgustedly asked as she walked down the aisle. Her face was telling them how she feels at the moment, that they shouldn't be alive."Stop it, Avria." Giovanni commanded but she refused to listen. She kept on walking until she reached her. A hard slap landed on Ariadne's face as Avria went in front of her. Ariadne did not manage to react fast as her heart was beating so fast. She doesn't really know the reason for the things happening in her life, but still she needs to keep fighting, keep on making herself alive. The hell world was eating her, the demon was watching her and all she wanted was to escape.Ariadne eventually touches the part where she has been hurt, and it's her heart. She doesn't want to believe that everyday of her life, spending with these kinds of people, will make her heart crushed into pieces even more. When Avria did not get any response to her, she was about to slap her again when a loud roar filled the entire hall.
ARIADNE'S P.O.VIt took me so long to realize that I already got in the condo. It's been an hour since I reached the gate but I never got inside, my thoughts were flying into something unbelievable.People passing by were looking at me, they might think I am crazy, staring at nowhere, doing nothing. I moved my feet a little bit to support myself, I can feel the pain caused by standing here. I sighed. I should not think about it anymore, Giovanni will not let me go home if he is not done yet for punishing me. "Oh, you are here? I thought you would stay there until tomorrow?" Asked by Haria who was sitting on the sofa, eating chips while watching a movie on the screen. "Is there any problem there? You look so tired, I thought everything's going well?" she added. Instead of answering, I just smiled at her and sat beside her on the sofa. She offered me some of her snacks that I accepted. I feel so drained, hungry as hell. I want to eat and not think too much. "I don't feel like working
"Did you delete that number?" Haria asked, she keeps on asking me since the last call. "Is he still calling?" "He did not, I will never pick it up again even when he did." I told her, she keeps on biting her nails, it's her mannerism whenever she's tensed. I want to tell her that it's nothing to worry about but I think it will not work for her at this time as she looked so scared. I, too, don't know if it's still something that we don't need to think too much about. We are now in her room in the condo. Gray and I were sitting near the side table while she was sitting on the bed, nervously."I think we really need to be careful, we don't know that man and we are not sure if he was just pranking or up to something else." Gray told us. I nodded my head, even though I looked so calm, but deep inside, I just wanted to stay at home and take care of this lady. I know Haria when she was nervous, she can't do anything without anyone beside her."We really need it! Or maybe report this to the p
"It's my day off today, Sir." I told him calmly but it feels like he did not hear anything from me. I looked at Nicko who was still in his motor, same as me, he was shocked to see him in this kind of place. How does the great Giovanni come to be in a not so popular condominium building? But if he did not come, I think I would go with Nicko. I need to save money so his offer won't belittle me as a person."Go home now, I will accompany her. I need her for something," Giovanni told him once again. I remained silent but in my head, I am wondering what the work he was talking about is. It's been a month since he got me this job, far from what I applied for at his own restaurant.Nicko smiled awkwardly and then touched his nape. Of course, he can't do anything since he is also his boss. He needs to follow his every order."Okay, Sir. Take care. Ariadne, I will go now. See you," Nicko waved before he started the engine and went away from us. That's when I took a look at Giovanni. His face w
Maybe I was just hallucinating, I still have an empty stomach and it's starting to hurt. I want something to eat but I am still in his car. If I am not, maybe I could grab some street foods, my favorite. Giovanni looked in my direction while my eyes were wandering outside, looking for some stall where I could buy street food but it's an unlucky day for me as I can't see anything here. Seeing him do that, I quickly turned my face to him and saw his frowning face. "What are you looking for?" He asked me. "Street food stalls, I want to eat. Maybe you can drop me off there. I promise not to be late for later." I told him. I can't ask him to eat at that place since I know he will never do that. This man beside me is food conscious, and he will not risk his health for that kind of food. He is lucky he is rich and can afford anything in life but he never experienced eating the real delicious foods, and that was the thing he lacked. "It's dirty, let's just eat somewhere else." He told m
"Oh my! This is so scary!" One of the customers shouted while others were still busy looking at the part where the waitress could possibly be hurt. I was about to stand up to see what happened but Giovanni stopped me by holding my hand. I looked at him with a confused face, and he was so chill."Why? I want to see it," I told him but he just looked at me as if it was something that I didn't need to worry about. But I am, we are the last person she was about to serve before the accident and it might be concerning us or worse, we can be one of the suspects. Okay, I know I am overthinking too much because of the books I have read but who knows. We can't control things, especially me."Just don't mess with the accident, let the police manage this thing. Let's go and find some new restaurant, I guess the food will not come anymore." Giovanni said before leaving his seat. I look at him, I don't want to go yet."There is an explosion of the wine she held, and we don't know the reason and how
