"How did this happen?" Alex asked after a while. Ashley removed her fingers that were blocking her ears and pouted. Was the war over? "I don't know. I think he sneaked in." Jonathan responded. "But there is no way anyone could have known the basement route into this place." Alex was still not getting what this was about. "Don't bother now. Let me take care of it. You are severally injured, okay? Get to treat your injuries." The two of them looked behind them when they heard someone groaning and it happened to be Ashley. She rolled out of her undercover and glanced up quickly. Alex had even forgotten that he hid her there and raised his brows at her position. Ashley was a bit confused at why they were staring at her in this manner until she realized what could have been the reason. Her position was suspicious - she was on all fours with her butts pushed up in the air behind her. She suddenly became embarrassed and sprang up to her feet. Alex locked eye
"Baby," Louis called as he stepped out of the bathroom. He had a towel hung around his neck and his hair was dripping wet. He would, once in a while, rub his head harshly just to stop the flow of water. "Hmm," Jennie replied as she applied her lip gloss. She smacked her lips together and pushed them forward a little as if she wanted to kiss someone. With a little teasing smirk, she checked herself out and so was someone in particular. She faced Louis and placed her hands on her waist, assuming the pose of a model. "What do you think?" She whispered and Louis brought out his phone after gasping. Jennie's lips slowly curved downwards when she didn't understand what he was trying to do. "Oh my gosh, Celeb. Celeb." Louis shouted and started taking pictures. Jennie was astounded and chased him around the room. "How dare you use a TikTok joke on me?" She shouted at him and finally, Louis was able to make her stop. He held her finger that had their promise ring on.
[WARNING!!!!! We are about to get into the dark side of the Mafia lifestyle so if you know you aren't comfortable with curse words, slang, some inappropriate behavior, and other criminal activities that shouldn't be recommended in a broad moral city, this should be your clue to stop reading further because I won't take responsibility for it. It's a Mafia-owned city, not a moral place or anything of the sort so expect to meet the worse if possible. It won't be explicit and I will try to keep things minimal.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alex came down from the bus and wore his pair of sunglasses after doing so. He looked around the surroundings and then at the ground that his feet were touching. The sun was burning hot even though it was supposed to be the rainy season in H City too. His eyes went towards the signboard that had the huge name - LEONARDO CAPPUCCINO written on it and then the face of the man he hated plastered for the audience to see. WELCOME TO H CITY was written on ano
Alex was wearing his favorite armless shirt with baggy pants. His hands were inside his pockets as he wore a cold look while approaching the guards stationed at what seemed to be the entrance of the dungeon or prison just to relieve a bit of stress off those who would hear the name. The men at the entrance bowed when they saw him coming but he didn't spare them a glance and just walked through after they quickly opened the gate. He descended the stairs and the more he did, the more it felt like he was waving the world of light goodbye into the world of darkness. There were lots of prisoners held captive underneaths and seeing Alex didn't solve their problems. Well, he didn't care. After getting to where his sister was, he stood in front of the gate and the guard opened the door. Thinking they were here to give her food, Senorita spoke up. "You can leave. I am not hungry." Alex waited for the guard to excuse them after stepping out before looking at his sister. "S
"Dad?" Ashley called gently after opening the door of her father's study which was a bit dark. Brown was sitting on his chair with his head bent over the desk. He had a little lamp beside him to help his investigation journey. That was how he preferred to read - in darkness with a little light. He said it helped him to concentrate well. He looked at his daughter who was holding onto the big teddy bear her sister bought for her not quite long and she was also wearing her pajamas and her hair was split into two and then braided on each side. "Come in, Ashley. Why are you still up?" Brown asked. Ashley entered and closed the door with her foot. She staggered towards him and kissed his forehead, making Brown giggle like a child. Yeah, Ashley loved that reaction because it made her feel like she was the one being the guardian while her dad was the little kid. "Stop treating me like a baby. Your mom is going to scold me." "She won't." Ashley laughed and then picked a
"Hello?" Ashley said to the phone. "Hey, Ashley. How are you doing?" "I am fine, Jonathan. Thank you. What are you up to?" She was trying to be kind to him. Just because his brother wasn't interested in her didn't mean that she had to hate him, right? The poor guy was caught in between their silly issues. "I am cool. How are your studies?" "Good...all good, thanks." Ashley stood up and went to the window. There again she saw the same man. Even though she didn't open the window yet, she could feel him staring right at her from a distance. Her heart raced and her breathing leveled up. "Hey, Ashley. Are you there? Are you listening?" He called her out because he was hearing absolutely nothing. He wanted to tell her that it was her sister who informed Alex to break the bond between them many weeks ago but it seemed she was not listening. "Uhm... yeah, it's just that...I think I have a stalker." She replied. "A what now?" "A random dude has been stari
It was another new week for new things. Ashley had woken up as early as she could, took her bath, and got ready for school. She took her paper spray and activated her tracker on her phone. She then walked to the front of her mirror and sighed, today was D-day. She had to be prepared. If no one was going to tell her what to do or how to go about it then she had to take matters into her own hands. When she heard her parents talking in the corridor, she quickly grabbed her bag and bolted out of her room, shocking her parents to the core. Ariana flinched and was holding her husband tightly because she wasn't expecting that. Ashley forced herself to stop laughing because of the killer look she received from her mum. "I am sorry, Mum. I didn't mean to. Good morning." Ariana nodded and wanted to get off her husband but Brown was holding her tight with a mischievous smirk. Ariana glared and then stepped on his toes lightly. Brown had no choice but to release her and care for
"Arghhh. My head...It hurts so bad." Ashley groaned as she tried to straighten her neck. Due to the long and bent position of the neck, it started affecting her as well not to talk about the fact that she was almost blinded by the lights pointed towards her direction. She wondered where she was and tried to rack her memories for what could have happened. Her hands were tied backward while sitting on a chair. She remembered taking a cab and was on her way to Josh's house. Then it dawned on her. The cab driver had brought out something like perfume and sprayed it on himself. He sprayed too much that it made her cough and he apologized before he continued talking non-stop again. Slowly, Ashley's eyes started getting drowsy and she fell asleep. What would an old possibly want to do with her? She glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already 10 pm yet there was no one around. Her parents must be frustrated. They must be looking for her nonstop. This made her fear a lot
