"How are you feeling?" The doctor asked as he was putting back the equipments that he used to check on her inside the box. "I'm fine now, doc. I'm just having a hard time sleeping because I'm having nightmares," she said then she sat properly on the bed, both of her intertwined and resting on her lap. It's been an hour since Lander leave her inside of the room. Before leaving, he wake up the nurse which immediately called a doctor to check on her again. After running some tests on her, she is now back in her room with another doctor to check on her. Check up after check ups. It drained her. Despite the fact that Vincent indeed make sure to pay for the best doctors to check on her she still can't seem to be fully happy. She needs his presence. She needs to feel him. She needs him and not the best doctors. All she want is him but he is nowhere, even his man wasn't able to give her a proper answer when she asked if where was Vincent. "That's normal. The accident is very traumatic
"Here, keep the change," Sophia said as she was handing a money on the cashier. The cashier smile at her and shook her head afterwards. "Ma'am, no need. We'll make this drink free for you." "No, seriously I want to pay for it," she insisted but the woman shook her head again and hold her hand that is holding the money then the cashier pushed it gently back to her. "No, I insist, ma'am. We'd like to give you a free drink for bravely saving Miss Celestine. We don't know what could have had happened if you didn't save her. It's a relief to know that she is fine now," the cashier said then she let out a deep sigh. "What do you mean?" she asked then put the money back on her pocket. "Sir Vincent is here now to investigate what happened. He suspect that everything is not just an accident and there must be someone who drowned Miss Celestine—" "That's impossible! She did it herself. No one told her to save the ball. She got drowned because she choose to help," she blurted. It irritat
"What's your responsibility as an associate?" Sophia asked out of nowhere. She is already aware of the life that Vincent is in. However, it has always been had her wondering of what are the things that they do in every life. "Why are you asking? Planning to be one?" he asked, chuckling. "Nope, it's not my thing to kill people for someone." "Silly, being an associate is not just about killing somebody for the mafia boss. It is actually more than that," he defensively said before he get the twig that is lying on his side and use it to draw something on the sand. His life, just like the lives of the other associates is hard. They earned the position they're in now and their job wasn't as easy as may people see it. "Well, I don't know that's why I'm asking," she said in return before she glance at what he was doing on the sand. He draw lines that she's interested of seeing the result after since she couldn't understand what he is trying to draw. "You wouldn't want to know. It's
"Fuck that old fucking man," Kingston curse as he pressed the cotton on his wounds. He has no one to help him mend his wounds so he doesn't have a choice but to clean it himself. He bit his lower lip as he pressed the cotton even more on the deep cut on his right leg. He planned to meet Celestine tonight and he doesn't have any plans to cancel it even after what happened to him. All along he thought that Venedict is his real enemy but he was wrong because it was actually Victor. After the conversation he had with Victor he realized that he was the person who control Vincent for years and not Venedict. It was a mistake to not doubt Victor before and he is regretting everything now. He can now say that the things that he heard about Victor before was true. Victor is indeed far different from his younger brother, Venedict because unlike Venedict, Victor is most likely to do the things he wants without thinking of the innocent people that might get involve in the situation. He is spo
Sophia remained silent until they reached the resthouse. There are associates that greeted Vincent as they make their way inside of the house yet they didn't get any response from Vincent, not even a nod. They are used of that attitude of their boss but not Sophia. She doesn't have a single idea for why Vincent asked her to follow him but she's doing it anyway. She is aware that Vincent only find her to personally tell her how thankful he is that she saved the love of his life, Celestine. But she is still hoping that it is not the only reason why he wants to see her. Vincent stepped on the staircase and stopped midway when he feel that no one is following him. He looked over his shoulder and found Sophia at the end of the staircase, eyes on her feet and hands behind her. He cleared his throat. "Why you stopped? Are you alright?" he worriedly asked then he walked downstairs to check on her. She looked up and ask. "Can we just talk here?" "We don't have privacy here," he answered
Celestine has been walking back and forth in her room as she relentlessly worry about Vincent. She patiently wait in hopes that he will be back before it gets dark yet until now, she doesn't have an idea of where he actually is. Just when the sun is about to rise, he is no longer inside of her room and leave but now that the sun had set, he's still not coming back. Even though she didn't want to worry about him, she still couldn't make herself calm and wait for him for another hour without any news from him. She feels like there is something wrong with what is happening. And she wants to find out what it is. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she try to open the door. Earlier, she heard someone called Nicholas for a short meal so she now had the courage to try her luck and get out of the room without an outside guard. When she finally opened the door she opened her eyes and peeked into the small space between the door. She hadn't opened the door wide so she could first
"Hmp!" the man struggled. He tightened his grip on the man's neck and covered the man's mouth with his hand even more to not let him make any noise. The man tries to get away from Kingston's grip on him but no matter what else he does he can't get away from the man. The redness of the man's face and the veins on his forehead and neck indicates that he is starting to have a hard time breathing. Kingston move closer to the man and whisper, "Are you going to stop fighting or get yourself killed by doing that? You choose," he asked calmly while his eyes is observing the people walking past by, trying his lucky if he can recognize anyone. After his conversation with Bonifacio, he borrowed his car and went straight to the hospital, wearing his dirty clothes with band aids all over his body. The soreness of his body is still there, it's beating, his wounds are still fresh but he start to get his mind off of what he feels for Celestine. Earlier, he was about to enter her room when he c
"Long island iced tea cocktail please," she said to the bartender like it's not going to be her third glass of cocktail for tonight. After Vincent left her, she immeditely get out of the house without letting someone know that she is leaving. She don't see any reason for her to stay even longer inside of the house. She has plans of leaving the resthouse and go back to the city where she has a work she has to go back to. But before that, she feel like getting a few drinks first before leaving. She is confuse and at the same time torn between finding who she really is or just continuing her life as Sophia. "Thank you," she said to the waiter after putting her glass of long island iced tea cocktail on the countertop. She hold the glass and immediately take a sip on it. She looked at the glass and just stare at it for a moment. It took her quite some time to realized that she ordered her drink without looking at the cocktail menu. It was as if she is used of ordering this particu
