"Drive the fucking car fast, Sebastian!" Vincent shouted as he hysterically glanced outside the car and back to Sebastian. He's holding on to his pants tightly.
"I'm on it, Boss. Don't let your emotion—"
"Shut the fuck up and just drive this fucking car fast."
Sebastian clenched onto the steering wheel tightly. He could still remember the time when Vincent lost his capability to think straight just because of a woman and seeing his boss acting the same way is making him worry about everything.
A woman in Vincent's life does no good to him and knowing that he's starting to let Celestine in his life is a very dangerous thing.
Sebastian just took a deep breath and stepped on the gas pedal.
After that, the whole ride becomes peaceful. Not one of them dares to speak. All that could be heard inside the car was every heavy breath of Vincent, trying to calm himself down.
He's fuming mad and it could be seen
As Celestine writhed in pain because of the forceful punch that met her stomach—emptying the air on her lungs, the man took it as his chance to lift Celestine and take her wherever he wished. Celestine's body is helplessly lying on the man's right shoulder while her head was on his back. As he walks, her head started to feel like spinning and she feels like vomiting. She wanted to struggle from his grip and get away from him but it seemed impossible to escape from the man that was much stronger than and her. The pain in her stomach becomes unbearable. She can't lift nor move a muscle. Everything felt heavy, especially her eyelids that she was trying her very best not to close. She can't lose consciousness. She needs to save herself. Her inability to bring energy towards her whole system to function well has ruined every self hope she has to at least have a fighting chance to escape from him. "L-Let me g-go," she weakly said
"Why Felix is here?" Nicholas asked. They've been monitoring every move of Celestine and it was quite surprising for him to see Felix."I don't know," Carter answered as his eyes were on Felix. The man is wearing their usual uniform and he's on his way in Lander's direction.Carter cleared his throat. "Boss Vincent probably asked him to do something that's why he's here.""Yeah, I think you're right," Nicholas said.They did nothing but wait and see things from where they're standing. They're hiding behind the coconut tree that is surrounded by tall leaves that made them almost invisible to the human eye."Wait, wait, wait, where he's bringing Celestine?" Nicholas asked again."Maybe he'll drive Celestine home.""I thought boss already agreed to Lander to drive Celestine home?""Maybe he changed his mind," Carter said.Carter and Felix aren't close. Their relationship is just pure business. Carter can't even remember the
Celestine could clearly hear the loud beating of her heart as she was pointing the gun at the man who introduced himself as Nicholas.She's scared for her life and also for the life of the man in front of her. He might be telling the truth but it was hard for her to believe him. There's a part of her that is telling her to drop the gun but the fear in her heart is much louder than the little voice that is convincing her to believe Nicholas."I understand that you're hesitant to believe me because of what happened but trust me, I won't do anything to hurt you," he said calmly, trying to convince her.She bit her lower lip and harshly wiped the tears on her cheek. "No, I want to see Vincent. I don't want to trust anyone.""I don't know if he'll come here.""Call him, please," she said, almost begging.Nicholas tried searching for his phone in both of his pockets but he couldn't find it. Celestine sniffed and wait for Nicholas. He subtly glance
Celestine just found herself touching her lips as she get inside the bathroom. The softness of Vincent's lips lingered to her lips like the time had not passed and it's been just a couple of seconds since he kissed her."You're crazy," she said to herself while shaking her head, trying to remove the smile on her lips.After the kiss, no one dares to break the awkward silence between them. They just stay in each other's arms while looking at the sea.Vincent's kiss calmed her down. She didn’t know how it was able to convince her of trusting him just by kissing her but as expected, it convinced her.She doesn’t want to trust anyone. Living with the mafia has taught her that she shouldn't trust anyone because if she does, it'll be the end of her.Anyone can betray her, she's aware of that. But out of all the people that surrounded them, Vincent is the only one who she can trust, for now.She cleaned her hands and repeatedly do that
"Drop your fucking rifle.""B-Boss..."Vincent pressed the tip of his gun against Carter's forehead even more."I know you have the intention of killing Celestine. And I'm not stupid to not know your connection to my father."Carter swallowed and slowly let go of the rifle he's holding. He was lying in his stomach with hands on his nape. It is not in Vincent's vocabulary to bluff someone and Carter w
Cigarette in between his fingers can't mend the coldness that he's feeling despite the thick coat he's wearing. As he drank the bottle of beer empty the warmth of the liquor on its way to his throat surpassed the coldness he felt. In the middle of the night with no certain place in mind to go to, he was stuck inside of an abandoned house with an unstable ceiling and a broken door. There's nothing to see that can shield him against the coldness of the night, not even a window was seen. It was an open house with unstable wood walls and broken windows that just a homeless person can call home. Every blow of the wind sends a shiver down his spine and the least he could do to at least protect himself from the coldness of the night was to hug himself. He sucks on his cigarette and leans his back against the wet wood. For a couple of minutes, he did nothing but stare blankly outside the broken window and see the way how the bamboo trees sway in every gust of
Alice puts a mug of hot chocolate on Sebastian's desk while her brother is busy reading a newspaper. His feet were resting on the table while his back was leaning on the swivel chair."Here's your hot chocolate brother," she said before jumping onto Sebastian's bed.Sebastian reached for the mug and carefully take a sip on it. He's wearing his eyeglasses that were not very usual for him to do unless he's reading something important."So I won't get a thank you for making my brother a hot chocolate?" Alice said while sipping her coffee.He raised his mug. "Thanks, Alice.""You're very much welcome, Basty," she sarcastically said while rolling her eyes.It's been days and finally, she got fully healed and she no longer have to use her wheelchair. It was tiring to move just by using both of her arms and she's grateful that finally, she wouldn't be dependent on her wheelchair anymore and can move on her own."What are you reading?" she as
"Good Morning, Mr. Daniel," his secretary greeted him as he walked past by her desk. He was fixing his tie while walking in urgency because he's half an hour late for the meeting he scheduled, for he forgot to set an alarm the night before he dozed off to sleep."Is everyone in the meeting room now?" he asked as he finished fixing his tie.His secretary nodded. "Yes, Sir. They're just waiting for you."He was about to walk towards the meeting room when his phone suddenly rang. He reached for his phone in the pocket of his coat to end the call when he saw that the call is coming from an unknown number."Veronica," he called his secretary while he's busy looking at his phone that until now was still ringing."Yes, Sir?" she immediately asked before walking towards Vladimir. She stood up straight as she stopped walking to his side and wait for him to give her orders."Go to the meeting room first and tell them that I'll be there in a few more m
