Zion“Don't take your eyes off her, Howard. We don't know all of our opponents, and it might be one of the business partners we have. They might also grab their chance to hit on Crystal,” I explained.I was about to leave and left Crystal in my office with Howard. In the meantime, Howard and I are here outside opposite the door. I don't fucking trust bodyguards to guard Crystal, so it's better for Howard to just be with him while I was gone and the bodyguards are on mine.“I told you many times that it's too dangerous for her to bring with you. Now, you'll put her life in danger. Sorry, bud, but I'm just concerned about Crystal,” he had a point.Furthermore, I am aware of that and all the possibilities that may happen, so I do it.“Yeah, I know. She is entitled to know anything about me, even about the Mafia transaction. Besides, I can't just hide her for life, so it's also the time for her to know. Our enemies will find a way to know her. I just need you to protect her, Howard. “H
CrystalAfter we take our lunch, I asked Zion to drop me home. It's not because I'm bored in his office, but I just prefer to be alone, and it's impossible for that to happen because Howard's guard is closed to me. I need some time alone, especially if we will spend the night, coming home later when I stay. There will be a blood moon in our Kingdom, and I'm sure it's unlikely that people's moon will be weird either. “Are you confident, you're okay? Aren't you feeling anything? Maybe it's because of the food. Does your tummy hurt?” I immediately shuddered at all of Zion's questions. “Perhaps I just want to rest, and I'm used to just being in the room. All right, go back to your work. I'm fine, I can handle myself here,” I said.The car is parked in front of the hotel, and we are here inside. “Don't you want to just take us inside? I just want to make sure it's okay for you to get to the unit,” he insisted. He was about to go down, but I stopped him. “No need. I know you're jus
Howard“Did I think there was no problem with the organization ?! What the hell did it get to me, Howard ?!” disgusted, Zion asked me after a call.“I don't know. You know we've been together all day, and then you'll ask me. What happened?” I asked cluelessly.He saw me driving and then blamed me. What a jerk, am I aware of those of his staff?I heard him cuss at the back. “Tch! We have no choice. Turn around and go to the organization, right away. That Montefalco!” Instead of answering me, that was all that came out of his mouth.I immediately stepped on the gas and quickly turned the steering wheel. I think I have an idea of what's going on, it's another plan of Priston's group.It's already late at night and I know Zion is tired all day with the amount of paperwork and sales of the company, so I'm sure he's hot-headed, especially since it looks like we're going home late for the night. I still know this friend of mine, very obsessed with what he likes, and Crystal is one of
ZionWhen we arrived at the Police Station, I just got along well and got out of the car and then followed the police into the Station."Oh, Officer Santiago? It's late, why are you with Mr. Enrique and then... Mr. Montefalco? What happened?" Surgent Anderson greeted us."Sir, someone reported to us that there was a riot going on with the Enrique Corporation and we caught up with Mr. Enrique and Mr. Montefalco along with their men who were killing each other," it was a formal reply of the policeman whose name was Santiago.Surgent Anderson first looked at me and Priston who is not far from me. "Is that so? All right, let them in and lock them up. You only have a chance to call your lawyer to handle your case," he said to us.Just be thankful that my hands were handcuffed otherwise I would have knocked that Priston down in no time. We just went inside and were separated by a chair."Boss, sorry. We didn't like what happened ...""We don't think that's Priston's plan, I'm sorry...""
Crystal “Good morning …”Zion's smiling face opened up to me. When I looked out the window, it was bright and the sun was hitting my face. I slowly rubbed my eyes and then got up.“Good morning,” I greeted back.He turned off the aircon using a remote and also the lights because the window was open again and was no longer blocked by the curtain.“I already cook breakfast. Let's eat?” I was shocked by what he said. It takes a few seconds before it sinks into my brain.Does he know how to cook?I was confused when I saw he was not in uniform. He is now wearing a simple button-up shirt with clean blue four-pockets shorts. What time is it? He must be in his office now.“Don't you have work?” I can't help but ask him about it.He was about to stand, but he was stunned by my question, so he stopped and turned to me. “Hmm … yeah. I'll prepare our food, so do what you have to do first then just follow me to the kitchen, okay?” I don't know if he even thought about that answer, but
ZionThat Montefalco is such a pain in the ass. Now, I don't have to think about him anymore. He is now gone, and he will never bother me again. I just spent one billion dollars because of him, and I have to undo all that. So, in the next few days, I have to leave for a business trip outside the country, and I'm still not sure if I'll be with Crystal, so I'm taking this as my opportunity to bond with her.“Crystal, my darling. You look uncomfortable. Are you not feeling well?” I heard Auntie Zein's question, so Crystal's attention was drawn, and she was right about it.Crystal looks so uneasy, and I don’t know why. Lately, she was so excited to see Auntie Zein, so it was wonderful. She also likes animals, but why does it seem she doesn't, right now? Is there a problem?“I'm fine, Auntie. Thank you for your concern, my stomach just suddenly hurt, and my stomach felt like it was turning upside down,” Crystal replied.Well, looks like she doesn't seem fine. She was just trying t
CrystalThat was close. I didn't know what to say so that they wouldn't have any doubts, it's just that they both believed in me right away. I apologize for lying, but it's the only way for no one to know my secret.“I told you, their meats are delicious here. Do you like it?” I nodded in response to the question of Auntie who is next to me.While Zion was sitting in front of us and grilling meats. He was just following what Auntie Zein wants and hadn’t complained yet. I'm having a feeling that he's still thinking about it before, so he's not talking to me. I also mentioned Val to them, which is forbidden.“Here, have some more …” I was shocked when Zion put his freshly cooked meat on my plate.I look at him, and he still has his serious face. “Uh, thank you …” I said while eating.“By the way, Zion. What do you and Crystal plan to do after you take me to the Airport? It's still a long day, you still have time to go out,” said Auntie Zein.I didn’t speak and just looked at the
Crystal“What is this?” I asked, seeing the gorgeous surroundings full of decorations.Zion and I are in a restaurant right now, and I was wondering why there is only one table I can see that is positioned in the very middle of the room. Red rose petals line the floor we walk on as balloons are placed around the table and chairs.I also noticed what looked like a sofa bed next to the wall on the left, finished with a white cloth hanging on the wall on the right. What's up?I turned my eyes to Zion when he took me by the hand which I immediately accepted, and then he helped me to enter the room.“This … is for you,” he said to my surprise. What does he mean?When we got to the center where the table was, I caught sight of Howard and those with him that I had just seen for the first time. He waved his hands at me, so I smiled back at him.“Everything is well-prepared. Let's enjoy this day,” Zion said meaningfully.He pulled me out of a chair to sit on, and he did the same for himse
