I gulped. I didn’t move a muscle and I just gawked at Miguel whose face became unreadable. Daniel caressed my arm with his thumb and I didn’t know how I would react in this situation. I was stuck choosing if I should pull away from Daniel or just let him realize how uncomfortable we were by his gesture. There wasn’t anything wrong with it. I just thought that this was quite insensitive to Miguel. I knew this was just a façade and he was meant to make Miguel jealous to see if he was certain about his decision of ending everything between us, but this had gone too far. I mean, I wasn’t liking this attention.
Gunshots firing on the splatterburst target had echoed in the open field. Even though I had earmuffs on, the gunshots still pierced in my ears. I threw continuous shots in the head target as a smug smirk crept across my face. When I ran out of ammo, I pulled another magazine inside the holster and pulled the trigger again, but nothing came out. Sighing, I slid the gun back to the holster and removed the protective goggles. I averted my attention to Kourtney who kept missing her shot and crossed my arms above my chest. Sweat was trickling down my forehead and the sunlight that struck my skin caused the heat to gush through me. I’d missed this heat, and my body craved for more. It was like it constantly needed some work out after a short period of break.
I was in complete shock. My mind had stopped running and it went completely blank. Everything just passed by in a blur, as I stared distantly at which path they’d left. I couldn’t move and my breath just shortened, suffocating me as I prevented tears from cascading down my face. There was a sudden pit in my stomach that my hands trembled, my body wouldn’t budge, and there was only silence though Hansel was already shaking me.William was calling my name but all
“What the— we are not going to Mexico without them,” I complained, frowning at William’s idea.“Listen to me. I pledged an alliance with Arthur Devaraux because I know something unexpected will happen if we negotiate with Fernando. Now, if he finds out that Kourtney was kidnapped, then that alliance is over. We can’t let that happen, so the only way to not give Fernando a suspicion is if I send you to Mexico. Once you’ve finished negotiat
I was staring outside the window, watching as everything went by in a blur. Silence consumed our area and everyone was quiet. No one dared to talk, no one would budge, and they just stared at the way as William drove the car. I was seated next to Hansel while Miguel was sitting in the backseat. Gwen occupied the shotgun, staring straight ahead of the road as William did the same thing.Things were happening so fast, and the day passed by like a jet. Daniel and Kourtney were nowhe
I was in a deep slumber for the entire ride that I hadn’t realized that we’d landed already. Though I’d already slept, it seemed like I had just blinked my eyes and now we were here. It was quick, about an hour or two rides that I honestly didn’t expect. Gwen had woken me up when we arrived and we quickly got off the plane. William’s men, who I barely communicate with, held our luggage. When I roamed my eyes around the place, we were taken to another hangar which wasn’t expected.

We got out of the car and moved closer to the house that looked just like a freaking castle. It was an old-style house, a bit outdated if you would ask me. But it was gorgeous, dark, and foreboding. It was the house you would expect a beast would live in. The house was surrounded by trees that there were dried leaves that scattered all over their unkempt lawn. The grass had grown tall, maybe because no one was staying here and no one looked out for their house. The hedges that ran along the front of their house also looked dehydrated, and they weren’t the luminescent green color we’d always had at our home. This looked more like a haunted mansion that no one would ever dare to stay here for long.
I was seated in front of these men who were gawking at me as if I was prey they needed to devour. There were five of them, and Fernando sat in the middle, contemplating. Beside Fernando was Dmitri, smiling mischievously like he was planning something sketchy. They’d locked William up in a chamber, and I was left alone because we got caught. We failed to conceal the secret between Arthur and William, and we were about to escape Mexico when we got caught by Fernando.
