Roll’s boxing arena. The place where Cali spent his teenage years when in Italy. Confused by himself, he joined boxing until he was drafted in mixed martial arts. Mix martial arts became his domain. He soared high and became famous in that field. Until he met Alden at the gym one day. He wasn’t aware of his job, but when he was invited one day, Cali fell in love in drag show. It took him a year to gain courage to embrace his true self and became the drag queen. *******“Alden!” Cali immediately recognized him as soon as he entered the arena.Alden was left tied on a chair in good shape. He was unconscious and pale when Cali took him, rushing him into the nearest hospital. Cali called Jerry, one of the performer at the club who were close to him and Alden as well. But Jerry knows about Cali’s real identity especially being member if the triad. Unlike Alden who was an open book, Cali hesitated to share his real self to him. Thinking he might avoid him. “What happened to him,
Fabe watched Cali's fight. As expected, he won. But there were times when she thought he would lose the game, then recovered after a few seconds of being pinned down. Cali was always calm and confident in fighting. He was never scared and easily picked up the opponent's movement and strategy.He's bothered, Fabe thought, and decided to go downtown and check her email. Cali doesn't know about the phone Billie gave her, but it's better that way. "Hello?" Cali noticed the call from an unlisted number. "For a moment, I thought you'll lose the fight. You're not focused, Cali. What's up?" "Princess! Thank God you called! I've been waiting for your call for a month. How are you?""Very good. You tell me about yourself. What'd bothering you?" Cali explained to her the email, the threats, and what had happened to Alden. He was in anguish to go back to Italy immediately."So Stephen didn't know yet. You have to hide, Alden. Whoever is doing this will use him to get to you. To tie your neck
“Cali? It’s Alden, they took him!” Jerry cried, calling Cali on the phone. Someone took Alden on their way home after their shift. It's been a month since Alden moved to Jerry’s house after his kidnapping incident. Cali was confident he will be safe with Jerry. Living alone in his apartment worries him a lot. Cali immediately took the plane back to Italy after hearing his voicemail and skipped his victory party. He went straight at the club and talked to Jerry who was still in shocked. He informed Cali that a black van pulled over in front of them and force Alden to go with them pointing a gun to their faces. The kidnappers were wearing a mask and plate number of the van was removed. He already reported the incident to the police and are now tracing the van with the security camera on the street. “Did you know who took him?” Jerry asked shakenly. He stayed at the club and was afraid to go home. They gave him some pills to calm him and arranged the dressing room for him to sl
There was a picture of Jonathan talking to a woman and from her silhouette, Cali recognized her as Eerie from her clothes and hair. Although she was wearing a mask, it cannot be denied that it was her. It was taken near the warehouse where Nova retrieved the triad’s stolen cars. “He knows her?” Cali uttered checking the other pictures. It was taken the same day. Cali scroll all the files searching a close up look of Eerie’s face, but he cannot see one. In the picture, she and Jonathan were discussing something serious. “Are they talking about Fabe? What are you doing Jonathan?” First, Jonathan kidnapped Bryce and now talking to Eerie. Is he the one who took Alden and threat us all? Cali thought. Another folder contains a recording of Jim’s call with Bryce the day he died. He was talking about Frank. Jim suspect him who ordered to kill them resulting from blowing up their hotel room. “Frank? I don’t think so. Maybe the triad ordered that,” Cali scratch his head. Jonathan and Frank
“So I guess we’re going home,” Fabe cuddled in Bryce’s arms. “We are. At least your Mrs. Hamilton now. That’s all that matters,” Bryce peck her forehead. “What do you think would happen then?” “I’m hoping your dad will accept me, because I know my neck is on the line. Not to mention Jonathan.”“I don’t worry about Jonathan. I can handle him.”The next day, Fabe and Bryce fixed their stalls and left everything to Billie while they’re gone. She remembered Cali and turn on her phone before packing their things. “Shit!” Fabe immediately called Cali reading his messages about Alden.“Thank God, Ava! I need your help.”“How’s Alden? Is he okay?”“Yes, he’s at the hospital right now. I think Jonathan did this to him. I am not sure but I suspect him. I need to transfer him somewhere safe.”“I am not surprise if Jonathan is up to this. Just be with Alden and prepare everything. I’ll get you out of there. I know some place safe for him.”“Where?”“Caribbean. Billie will take car
Bryce went to the hospital. He will drive the ambulance to the hangar where Billie and his men was waiting, while Cali and Jerry pushed Alden’s stretcher to the exit door. Fabe was in her car escorting the ambulance. “Come on, Jerry. We need to hurry. They are waiting for us now,” Cali and Jerry was on their way to the exit when a group of guy caught Cali’s attention. “Stop!” Cali whispered and pushed the stretcher to the side.“What’s going on?” “Jerry, those guys. They’re not the hospital security.”“Then, who are they?”“I don’t know. Let’s wait for a while.”Cali saw an empty room and pushed the stretcher inside. The guy passed by them and was talking on the phone.“Search for them. Our sources says they are still here. Keep your eyes open. The woman and Mr. Hamilton would be here for sure,” the guy said as they spread out.“Woman? Are they referring to Ava?” Cali mumbled. He told Jerry to stay with Alden who was still unconscious after his operation. “Where are yo
Fabe and Bryce stayed at the Donovan’s mansion as per Massimo’s request. He wanted to keep an eye on his son in law. Now that they are officially married again, there’s no room to repeat the past. “Are you okay in this set up? I mean it’s just for a moment. I’ll convince dad to let us live on our own.”“It’s okay Fabe, I understand him. No need to rush. We’ll have plenty of time together.”Bryce pulled Fabe close to him and kiss her forehead. He’s a little worried, but he kept it. This is temporary, he said in his mind. *******Massimo were looking for Cali. He didn’t visit him after his fight and no he cannot contact him. Since Fabe is back, he want his family to be complete and he got a call from Cali’s gallery that they need to talk to him as soon as possible. Massimo asked his secretary, Ingrid, at the gallery, but she refused to say any word and would like to talk to her boss first. “Princess? Did Cali called you? I can’t get through his phone,” Massimo was pissing ove
Massimo ordered Cali’s presence immediately. He wants to clarify the pictures and to hear it from his own mouth, while Stephen remained calm and in deep thoughts. Panic sits in Fabe’s mind. Calling Cali many times but still didn’t get any answer. She called Billie and asked him to go their cabin and inform Cali about her call urgently.Billie found Cali by the backyard with Alden.“Finally! He’s awake. How is he?” “Better,” Cali turned to Alden and introduce Billie to him, “He’s the one who helped us out.”“Please to meet you, Billie, and thank you, for everything. I owe you my life,” Alden stood and shook his hand.“Oh, please. It was Fabe’s planned. I just executed it. Cali, can I talk to in private?” Billie glance inside the cabin. Cali excuse themselves and led Billie inside.“Did you check your phone?” Billie asked sensing that Cali didn’t bother to looked at it.“No. I did not. I’m sorry it slipped my mind. Why?” “Well, you better go and check it out. It’s urgent.”
