“Kami, can you take me to the beach today?” Faith asked Kami as they stroll through the narrow streets of the village market. Faith came here to explore the small market, as well as, to purchase a few essentials. She has a beige tote ag on her shoulder with a few items she purchased, such as some handmade soaps. She was also lucky enough to find some scented candles that a young villager makes at her home. She also bought a wooden comb that an old man was selling, she didn’t need it – but she just wanted to help out the man. Faith also purchased a few things for Kami and his family as well. She learned a bit about the boy as they talked when they walked around. Kami is the eldest child. He has a younger sister, Lora, who is fifteen, and a younger brother, Dio, who is ten. His mother works in the tea fields, and his father passed away eight years ago. He dreams to study in the city and be successful so he could ring his family to the city as well. Like Kami, Lora can too speak and und
Foxy And Her Guardian 26: Traitor
Faith’s ears were ringing. Her vision was getting blurry. Her eyes fixed on the jeep she and Kami were supposed to take back to the resort. Its windshield had blood splattered all over it. The driver’s head was against the steering. Faith didn’t need anyone to tell her that he was dead. They killed him to get to her. They killed an innocent man just to get to her. She slowly blinked as she looked at Kami, who was trying to pull her away, but it felt like her feet were buried in the sand. She couldn’t move them.She was tightly holding on to Mateo’s arm. He was still shooting at the targets, but now he was not standing alone. Several men circled them – they all were shooting towards the targets. “Faith, what are you doing? MOVE!” Mateo yelled at her. She only tightened her grip around his bulgy arm. Mateo glanced at her over his shoulder. He could see the panic and shock in her tear-filled eyes. “Sister Faith, please.” She heard Kami’s cry. She turned around to look at Kami, who had t
Foxy And Her Guardian 27: The Hostility In The Air
Even when Mateo asked the driver to take them to the resort, Faith insisted on going to the hospital first. Mateo repeatedly opposed it. “Mateo, this might get infected if not taken care of. Can you please, stop being so stubborn and listen to me for once? I am already mentally drained, please don’t add to my problems.” She said to him. Mateo heaved a sigh. He realized that she is not going to let this go, so he dropped it and let Faith ask the driver to take them to the hospital. The village has two small hospitals. The Bianchi and Ricci families built both. Before these two families intervene in the matters of this island, there was not one operating hospital, school, or pharmacy for the villagers. These families came in and built the essentials for them.The hospital wasn’t crowded when they reached. The driver was also operating as Mateo’s bodyguard and he was by his side along with Faith. Mateo didn’t have to wait for his turn, he was taken into the room where his wound was take
Foxy And Her Guardian 28: The Ex-Boyfriend Dilemma (Levi & Ethan Special)
“Why did you lie to me, Faith? Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you caused me?” Ethan spoke to Faith through the phone. Faith’s shoulders sunk when she heard the disappointment in his voice. Mateo stood in the corner of his room, watching her lower her head as she had his phone pressed to her ear. She was talking to Ethan through Mateo’s phone – he called Levi and asked him to let Ethan talk to Faith. Both of them, Mateo and Levi, were supervising the phone call. Mateo doesn’t want Faith to give away any unnecessary details to Ethan, while Levi just doesn’t trust Ethan yet. Faith pulled her eyebrows together, “I am so sorry, Ethan, I know I caused a lot of trouble for you. I didn’t know this would happen, or else I would have never dragged you in it. I am so sorry.” She remorsefully replied. Ethan heaved a sigh and glanced at Levi, who was leaning against the wall beside the door, while he was sitting on the edge of the bed. Levi had a pocket knife in his hand, he shuffled
Foxy And Her Guardian 29: The Lost Brother
Blaire reached the island sometime after noon. She came directly to the resort where Faith and Mateo were waiting for her. “Shit’s still pretty,” Blaire said once she looked at the ocean over the cliff. She hasn’t been here in years. The last time she came here, she met her husband. Her way to the island was like a sweet throwback for her. She recalled each moment she spend with her husband when they first met. It was a simpler time, even when she was here on a mission, Jeremy’s presence made it all sweetly memorable for her. Faith watched as Blaire looked around the resort. She wore a grey shirt with black jeans and sneakers. She had a plain black cap over her head while she chew gum. “The place looks better, Mateo. Did you renovate it?” She asked him. Mateo stood tall beside Faith. He still had an arm sling strap around his waist while he wore a navy blue button-up shirt over grey pants. Faith noticed how Mateo and everyone that works for him have a very limited and quite similar c

“Steven just told me you will not be returning today. What happened?” Levi asked Mateo over the phone. Mateo sighed and rested his head against the back of the bed, “It’s late. I don’t want to ride a boat at night. I will return first thing in the morning,” Mateo replied. Levi could feel something is off with his friend, but like always he didn’t ask. He knows it is not the only reason why Mateo hasn’t returned yet, “Alright, how is your arm?” Levi asked. Mateo was sitting on his bed, with his back against the pillows. He glanced at his arm, “It is fine.” He replied short. Mateo couldn’t sleep properly all night because his arm was aching. He also didn’t keep around the stitches as the doctor asked him either. He thought he could get it fixed when he return to the city, but since he has to spend another night here – he might as well just clean it himself. There has been a lot on Mateo’s mind lately. He has never been very attentive towards his health and wellbeing, but it just went
Foxy And Her Guardian 31: Rookie Of The Rookies
“Benji, you didn’t thank Levi for the breakfast and the gifts yet.” Piper reminded her younger brother, who was engrossed by the comic books Levi brought for him when he came to Piper’s apartment for breakfast this morning. Benji was sitting on the round rug in the small living room with the new comic books in his hands – while a big box of legos was sitting well beside the boy. Levi always brings something for Benji whenever he visits. Piper doesn’t know but Mateo also asks Levi to bring something for the boy whenever Levi comes here. Levi brought him the comics, while the legos were from Mateo – but Piper doesn’t know that. She believes both gifts were from Levi only. Mateo doesn’t visit Piper or Blaire’s place, not because he feels they are beneath him, but because he is aware of the danger he brings with him. Benji looked up at Levi and passed him a big grin, “Thank you, Levi!” He shouted in excitement while putting his thumbs up. The boy was more excited about the gifts than th
Foxy And Her Guardian 32: To Threat And Warn
“It has nearly been a month since Aldo disappeared, Mateo. He has never been gone for so long. I think you already know where he is or what happened to him. Why don’t you come clean, my boy? Or are you playing the old tricks? No matter if you change your last name, you are a Ricci after all.” A member of the Hansen family, Ole, spoke to Mateo. The Hansen’s are one of the allies. They mostly operate in Norway, but with the help of the Bianchi and Ricci families – they have been spreading their connections around the world. Mateo swirl the glass of wine in his hand as he listened to Ole. He didn’t reply to him – instead, he let him and others weigh in on the matter before he adds on. Another member of the allies, one from the Wang family nodded along. “I agree with Ole, here. You need to come clean.” He spoke in his thick accent. “And if you still insist you don’t know then we better move on. Aldo’s disappearance has been causing many issues for us. My shipment has been stuck at the por
