The next morning, Francisco sat at the breakfast table, his usual calm demeanor belying the storm of emotions raging within him. But as he glanced around the room, he noticed Hazel's absence, her usual seat empty beside him. Concern furrowed his brow as he turned to Lily, the maid attending to their needs. "Where is she?" he inquired, his tone measured but tinged with worry. "Master, she said she was not hungry," Lily replied, her voice soft and deferential. Francisco's brows knit together in frustration. "So you just listen to what she said?" he questioned, his patience beginning to wear thin. Lily hesitated for a moment before responding, "No... she asked for some privacy too, sir." A heavy sigh escaped Francisco's lips as he processed the information. "Won't she come down as well?" he inquired, his voice tinged with concern. Lily lowered her gaze, her expression troubled. "I... I don't think so. She was not in a good mood," she admitted quietly. Francisco leaned back in his
Outside the Logan apartment, Rafael stood watchful, his keen eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement. His gaze lingered on the entrance, where he spotted Logan, who seemed to have deviated from his usual routine of heading to the office. Rafael's instincts told him that Mr. Logan had likely caught wind of something significant.However, Rafael knew that he couldn't approach Logan directly, not with Francisco's men stationed outside the apartment, keeping a vigilant watch. Despite the risks, Rafael remained determined to find a way to gather information and potentially confront Logan about Hazel's predicament.Meanwhile, Robert, Rafael's trusted ally, approached him with coffee mugs, a gesture of camaraderie amidst the tense atmosphere. "What are you thinking?" Robert inquired, his voice laced with concern.Rafael accepted the mug gratefully, taking a sip before responding. "I should go there," he stated firmly, his resolve unwavering despite the dangers lurking nearby.
Logan's stern voice cut through the tension, demanding an answer. "Who are you?"Rafael felt the weight of Logan's suspicion bearing down on him. He searched for words to maintain his facade, but Logan's observation shattered his pretense."Your box has no sticker or logo of any company," Logan pointed out, his tone unyielding.With a heavy sigh, Rafael realized the charade was over. He reached up and removed his cap, along with the fake mustache, revealing his true identity. "Uncle!"As recognition dawned upon her, Doris's tone softened. "Rafael, it's you," she exclaimed, her eyes widening with realization.Sensing the need for privacy, Logan swiftly pulled the curtain shut, shielding them from prying eyes. With a sense of urgency, he turned to Rafael, his expression a mix of concern and curiosity. "Rafael, what is happening?" he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency."What happened to our daughter?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion.Rafael said, "Uncle, it has a long stor
Amidst the pulsating lights and thumping beats of Xero's club, Andrew and James found themselves immersed in a world of decadence and debauchery. Surrounded by business associates and fellow revelers, they sought solace in the haze of alcohol and the rhythm of the dance floor. But for Andrew, the allure of the club was not in the pursuit of pleasure or camaraderie. Instead, it served as a sanctuary for his simmering anger, a place to release the pent-up frustrations that gnawed at his soul. With a swift motion, he downed his drink in one gulp, slamming the glass onto the table with a forceful clang. "I just wanted to dance with her," Andrew seethed, his voice laced with bitterness and resentment. "But he... he forgets who I am." His words hung heavy in the air, a raw expression of the betrayal and rejection that had fueled his anger. With a clenched jaw and furrowed brow, he unleashed his frustrations upon the unsuspecting table, a physical manifestation of his simmering rage. Mean
In the hushed confines of Francisco's meeting room, the air hung heavy with tension as his phone vibrated incessantly, each buzz a silent intrusion on the proceedings. Despite the distraction, Francisco remained steadfast in his focus, his attention firmly fixed on the discussion at hand.But as the vibrations persisted, a ripple of unease spread among Francisco's assembled members, their eyes darting nervously from one to another. Sensing the growing discomfort, one member dared to speak up, his voice tentative amidst the palpable tension."Sir, I think someone is calling you," he ventured, his words a hesitant interruption in the midst of Francisco's discourse.Francisco's response was measured, his tone calm but tinged with a hint of impatience."So?" he replied, his gaze unwavering as he dismissed the interruption with a wave of his hand."It's my phone. I will receive it when I want."The member faltered under Francisco's gaze, unsure of how to proceed in the face of his boss's un
After bidding farewell to her parents, Hazel and Francisco remained on the call, the atmosphere tinged with a subtle tension. Francisco's gaze lingered on Hazel, his finger tapping idly on the table as he awaited her next words.Taking a deep breath, Hazel met Francisco's gaze with a sense of resolve. "I am sorry. They ruined your valuable time," she offered, her voice tinged with regret.But Francisco's response was immediate and unwavering."It's nothing. As long as you are happy, I am happy," he reassured her.Hazel, however, seemed preoccupied, her mind racing with unspoken concerns. With a sudden burst of courage, she posed a question that caught Francisco off guard. "When will you come back home, tonight?" she inquired, her voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.Francisco's brow furrowed in confusion at the unexpected inquiry. Hazel's question was a departure from her usual demeanor, leaving him puzzled by the sudden shift in her behavior. "What?" he responded, his tone laced wi
As the car glided through the streets, Francisco's gaze drifted out of the window, his thoughts lost in contemplation. Hazel mirrored his silence, the tension between them palpable in the confined space of the car.But it was Hazel who broke the uneasy silence, her voice a hesitant interruption in the quiet. "Lily and I could go, you should not need to come with me," she suggested, her words tinged with a hint of uncertainty.Francisco turned towards her, his expression softened by a sense of determination. "I don't want to leave you in another hand," he confessed, his gaze meeting hers with unwavering intensity.Hazel couldn't help but scoff at his response, her tone laced with mockery. "Why? Don't you trust your own people?" she teased, her words a playful jab at his protective instincts.But Francisco's smirk remained, his confidence unwavering as he explained, "I know my people won't betray me, but I just want to spend some more time with you," his words revealing a deeper long
The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the hillside campsite. What was supposed to be a peaceful weekend getaway had turned into a nightmare. Chaos reigned as gunfire echoed through the trees, and the scent of burning pine needles filled the air. Terrified campers huddled together in tents, seeking refuge from the unfolding violence. Screams and frantic footsteps merged into a symphony of panic. Among them were a group of college students who had stumbled upon this grim spectacle unwittingly, their plans for a relaxing escape shattered.

A rival gang had set a trap, catching them off guard. Unbeknownst to them, they were about to be pulled into a deadly showdown. The first shots rang out, a cacophonous "Bang! Bang!" that shattered the night's fragile tranquility. Gunfire erupt
