CHARLES’ second-year college wasn't so bad after all. His expectations about having a nosy roommate were completely erased by the guy beside him. “So, what are your plans this summer?” Angelo asked him, who was currently putting his belongings in the backpack.Charles shrugged. “Not sure but most likely spending my time in New Jersey.”The person he was talking to nodded. “Will you only hang out at your house the whole break? That's just boring,” he laughed at him.Charles handed the closest item to him and then threw it at his friend. "Shut the hell up, Gab." Angelo just laughed. “How about you? What are your plans? ”Angelo grinned. “Summer class, bartending.”Charles grunted. “Hope all.” It was one of the common expressions that he got from Narae and Anurak.Angelo laughed and then approached him and wrapped his arm around Charles' shoulders. “You know, you can come with me. We'll go wander like that. Maybe you'll get to enjoy being a bartender too. You might want to do it too. ”
WAKING up for the second time only to be beaten up and lose consciousness was building up the fear inside Angelo. He wanted to be brave and forget what he experienced back then to plan a counterattack or at least an escape plan. He knew he wasn't his sister who knew every martial art there is in the world, but still, he wanted to save himself. Though discouraged, Angelo wished that Wynter knew that he was missing, in order to save him. He remembered the guy a while ago saying something about the Vazquez’. Long lost son? Me? This would probably be something about their father because that’s the only connection he could think of.For the third time, Angelo had his consciousness back. He was scared that he might get beaten up again but thankfully they didn't. The relief of his breathing earlier was suddenly replaced with nervousness now when he saw the man in front of him cocking his gun and then pointing it at his head.All Angelo could do was groan in pain. He didn't have the strengt
WHEN Charles said that he had no plans on letting Angelo go, he was actually doubting himself. Because as of the moment, as he stares at Angelo whose body is resting in a hospital bed, he couldn't think of anything but to let him go.He finally understood what Wynter meant by "he will be the death of Angelo" and he now fears for the life of his beloved.If this will always be the consequence of loving him, then I'm willing to set him free.Charles remained in his deep thoughts and was able to come back to reality when he heard the door open. Wynter came in and sighed as she looked at her brother's swelling face, filled with bruises."Wyn, I'm so sorry." Charles' words came out as a whisper.The lady let out a small smile and sat beside him. "You weren't responsible for his kidnap nor the bruises. So, don't blame yourself," she said, trying to calm him down."But if I just listened to you, this wouldn't have happened." Charles just wiped his face."Well, that's partly the reason but he
ANGELO smiled at everyone inside the mansion. He just got discharged this afternoon, he wasn’t even quite sure of the reason why he was hospitalized in the first place. He was just told that drunk men beat him up so he ended up getting hospitalized.“Welcome home, Hermano. How are you feeling?” his younger sister, Autumn, asked him before giving him a kiss on his cheek.“Estoy muy bien, mi hermanita,” Angelo cheerfully answered. “How about you?”Autumn sat down on the sofa across from him and smiled. “I’m fine as well, Hermano.”Angelo smiled and looked around the mansion. “¿Dónde está Emerald, por cierto?” Where is Emerald, by the way?“Ahh… Hermana’s still busy with her work.” Autumn gave him a soft smile. “Will you be okay if you stay here for a while? Dad said you don't have to work in the meantime for a faster recovery.”He nodded. “Dad told me about it this morning. He has been keeping an eye on me since I was in the hospital.” Angelo felt happiness towards his family. He was a
ALL night his eyes were opened. He was really bothered that Angelo was in the club so Charles just locked himself in his room in the penthouse.But before he finally went upstairs, Wynter left before him because she said that there was still some stuff to take care of in the Philippines.Narae, on the other hand, went seducing men and partying because she didn't want to get envious of Anurak.Speaking of that guy, he got laid last night, Charles was sure about that. It looks like the person they were talking to was very drunk last night and then decided to flirt with Anurak. Yep, pretty sure they spent their night screaming each other's names.As for that bartender, he didn't go home to the Philippines together with Wynter. According to Narae, Angelo wanted to spend three days in this country before he goes back to his cell.Charles was no longer surprised at the term Angelo used. After months of staying in your own house, without going outside because… well, because they said so, no
THEIR trip to the mall ended up being quite interesting — for Angelo — but annoying — for the three of them.It began with Narae meeting a guy she couldn't remember but claims to have a steamy night with her. She was fine with it when the man introduced himself, which quickly turned to a question, “Would you wanna be at my place tonight?”Narae refuses since she sticks to the “One night stand remains a one-time” policy, but then got easily pissed when the man gave her a business card and told her to call him if she wanna do ‘it’ again. “Can’t they understand the term one-night stand? It means it cannot be repeated! Never!” Narae furiously pointed out when the guy finally left them.Charles actually got shocked when Narae got super irritated with that. I mean Narae is a happy person, even when talking about these, it's normal for her to laugh at men like that, or she would just shrug it off. Then why the hell is she making this a big deal?! Charles was so confused but he remained sil
“HERE’S the list of your new missions,” Charles's father told him as soon as he entered the office. He has been back in New Jersey since last Sunday. To the point that their plan to celebrate Wynter's birthday could not go ahead because they were both busy. Caleb called him due to an emergency. There is a lot of chaos going on on the two continents guarded by the Williams Mafia, North and South America. Actually, it was more favorable for Charles to be busy like this because until now he had no news of what had happened to Angelo and Wynter since the two came home.Only yesterday, he also heard that someone had planned to harm Anurak and Narae in recent weeks, fortunately, the opponents did not pass their guards.“Be sure to make them all pay. As much as possible, there will be no killings. Just capture them and the government will handle the penalties.” His father looked at him intently. “I’m entrusting this mission to you, Dominique. Don't fail me a second time.”“Yes, Dad.” Charl
CHARLES was obviously bothered throughout the whole trip with Wynter to the mission. He had been like this for the past few days. He's always in a daze, he's always on cloud nine. And that's all because of that one call from Gab.“You know… if you're not up for this, I'll just drop you off at the nearest cafe then eat and relax and stuff like that,” said Wynter as she read the magazine next to him.They're riding a limousine on the way to a gala. That's where their second target was said to be. Well, that second target wasn't there to party but to blow up the party.Both Wynter and him were wearing evening wear and are both tasked to represent their family so they have to look good. “I’m fine, Wyn—”“Oh cut the sh*t off.” The woman finished reading and then returned the magazine to its container. “We both know you’re not fine.”Charles let out a sigh. “It’s your brother.”“Pretty obvious.”He looked at his friend seriously. “Did you know that he called me?”Wynter wasn’t surprised at
