50: Go Back Home
"Are you sure about this, Elena?" Doubt can be seen on Wilson's eyes when I told him I'll be going back home next month.
"Do I look like I'm kidding, Wilson?" I sipped on my cocktail. "I told you, I want to build my first restaurant there." I crossed my legs and stared at him.
She shrugged. "In that case, let's go together. My project will end by the third week of this month."
I grinned and shot my brow up. "You really don't want to be separated from me, do you? Don't tell me you want something from me now?" My eyes are challenging. Despite the topic, I don't find it awkward when it comes to him. And I know the same is true of him. We are just very good friends.
His laughter was accompanied by the music around. "You're too confident, Maddy."
"I always am."
He shook his head and grinned. "But seriously, I am worried. Are you ready to face Morris again? You don't even know what's happening on his life now. Don't you want to know? You know, so

I shook my head while looking in the mirror, examining my outfit for the night. It's a crimson red dress flowing down to my knees. My killer heels are also red, as well as my lips. All of those made me look fiercer.I sighed and picked up the cellphone on the table. I typed a text for Wilson.She is my escort tonight. His family got an invitation, too. But he would have had no intention of going there if I hadn't just taken him. I think I would be more comfortable if he was there.Me:Where are you? I'm ready.I looked at my reflection once more before getting my silver purse and walk out of the room. I walked quietly down the hall.A few seconds later, my phone beeped.Wilson:I'm outside.My lips twitched as I stepped down on the grand staircase. I put them first Mama and said Wilson and I would go together. I saw the disapproval in Revo's face, but he also did nothing without hesitation Mama agreed.She loves W
The Assassin and The Alpha 52: Uncontrollable Changes
When I calmed down, I let go of Wilson's hug. He handed me a handkerchief which I immediately wiped with the tears running down my cheek, as well as the mascara that spread under my eyes. It made me look horrible so I immediately wiped it. But it didn’t do well so I wet the handkerchief a bit. Wet wipes would be better, but I don't have it now so I'll settle for this.I quickly adjusted myself and retouched so as not to notice that I was crying. Now, it's my pride that's all I have. And the least thing I could do is to save it.After I got satisfied on my look, I turned to him. We can't stay here long because someone might have entered."Are you okay?" he asked gently. The look is predictable.I tightened my grip on the purse and smiled sparingly."Let's go. I am fine now."He sighed and nodded. He held my waist and opened the door. We quietly returned to the hall. I saw Mama, they were at the same table with Aunt Laura. Cheska wasn't
The Assassin and The Alpha 53: He is Illegal
After Wilson and I met, he had to go back to the office so he immediately said goodbye.Since I had nothing else to do for the day, I just went to the mall and bought clothes and some cosmetics. If only Neri or Timmy were here I would be happy today. But sadly, they're both busy with their lives.I didn't buy that much so I was able to carry the paper bags alone. I took a taxi home. In fact, I can call our driver and pick him up, but it's okay for me to commute."Gilda, please take it upstairs to the room," I commanded upon arriving at the mansion.I frowned when I heard a noise in the pool. I walked over to the double doors and peeked in there. I was stuck on the stand when I saw that Rage is with them!Why are they still here? I thought they had already left!"Hey, Elena!" I was shocked when Livius called. I rained down on him cheaply in my mind. "You're home! What? How's the date?" He laughed and went up to the pool then wiped himself.

"So, you come here often?" Wilson asked when we arrived at the orphanage. We watched the kids play on the playground. Mom was talking with the nuns."Yes. I used to go with Mom. We've been supporting her for a decade." I turned around for a moment. I thought Sage and the others will come?"I thought you didn't want to see him? Who are you looking for?" Wilson asked sarcastically.I stared at him."Who says I'm looking for him? I'm just wondering why my cousin isn't here yet. Don't worry about that."He chuckled. I just looked back at the kids."Nah. You’re just creating lame excuses. Supposedly cousin but—ouch!" He winced at my pinch. I wanted to pinch him again but he immediately grabbed my hand and smiled."Hi Sage!" cry of a child staring behind us.I quickly turned around there and my heart almost jumped with excitement when Rage and I caught sight of him standing next to my cousin. He's wearing a gray shirt and

My heart pounded so fast.Rico quickly waved his hand to get the driver's attention. Maybe he's not the one inside, right? Why would he come here, anyway? But, that’s a Cardillac. People here don't have such luxurious four wheel drive!I got even more nervous when the car stopped in front of us. I couldn’t see who was inside because the glass was heavy tinted."Are you talking to me, Miss Elena?" Rico asked.The car door opened. I couldn't speak and just parted my lips when I saw who came out of there. Rage is on his jeans and black plain shirt. Immediately his eyes turned to me."Sir Rage!" Rico called happily. As for me I definitely don’t look like the face anymore."What happened?""Flat tire, sir.""Why are you here?" I asked softly."Revo told me to come here."My forehead furrowed. Why would Revo do that? He knows I’m not comfortable around Rage!"And why is that?"He lo

I spent the rest of the day on my room. It rained all day outside so I had no choice but to stay inside the mansion. I thought that if I just stayed downstairs Rage might not leave. I want to avoid him as much as I can."Timmy...""Oh? Why do you seem to be in trouble?" She laughed on the other line.I heaved and opened the door towards the balcony. I took a deep breath and held on to the cold railing while staring at the staggering rainwater outside."I'm with him.""With who?"I could not speak. Later I heard Timmy's deep breathing."Oh my... don't tell me you're with your ex ?!"I stayed silent."My gosh, Elena. Why are you two together? How? Where? What happened?" he asked in succession."Easy, Tim. Well... I just needed to do something. Mama and Papa are on a business trip. My brother is busy with the company and his personal affairs. So I presented that I will go to our plantation to supervise the harvesting
The Assassin and The Alpha 57: Don't Use Me To Lie
It was past twelve when we returned to the mansion for lunch. Like last night we were just quiet at the table.I can feel the heavy atmosphere surrounding us. Until now, I feel angry with Rage. But what really makes him angry? If coming here is just a burden, then he's free to leave!"If you don't want to go there, it's okay with me..." I took a deep breath and looked at him. "You don't need to be with me all the time."He gazed at me darkly."I'll come," he said stiffly.I sighed and shrugged. Although I want to object, I don't want to prolong our conversation. It would just make my head ache.After eating our lunch, he washed the dishes. I scratched the fridge and thought of something to cook. Of course, I don't want to come to Rhea's birthday empty-handed. I can't give a gift because I haven't prepared. So I'm thinking, this would do."You'll cook?" he asked. He wipes his hand while I am in front of the island counter, cutting up f

"Thank you for accepting our invitation, Elena, Rage," Cora said as we headed home. It was six o'clock in the afternoon so the sky was a bit dark. Lucio was already drunk that time so we're not able to bid our goodbyes to him."Nothing," I said and smiled."Take care."I nodded. "Seriously, Rhea, we will go ahead."Serio nodded and smiled. So did the younger brother.Rage opened the car's door for me. I slid inside silently and watched him turn to the driver's seat. He stared at me after entering, an expectant look.I shook my head and frowned."What's with the look?"He shook his head and fasten his seatbelt. I did the same."You're tired?" he asked softly."Not so...""Sleepy?""Not yet."He nodded and started the car. But my eyes narrowed when he's driving towards the wrong way. Instead of making his way to the mansion, on the other hand he turned, away from there. I looked at him curiously
