Piper watched Faith as she threw punch after punch at the punching bag. Piper sipped her iced coffee as she watched Faith snarling and throwing punches while she was completely drenched in sweat. Her hair was tied in a ponytail which was now all wet. Faith also got a haircut recently and experimented with bangs, which suit her. Her bangs stick to her forehead as she huffs and groans after each punch she throws. Piper was not saying anything. For the past twenty minutes, she had been watching Faith punch and kick that poor bag. She squinted her eyes when she saw that Faith was now struggling to continue, but that girl was being stubborn and was not ready to give up. Piper decided to jump in. “Okay, I think you had enough. Stop it, Faith, or else your arms are going to fall out.” She said as she placed the half-empty cup of iced coffee down and moved to pull Faith away from the punching bag. Faith could barely breathe. She groaned and shook her head, “No. I need to take all this anger

If a year ago, Faith had come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw someone, and by someone she means, Mateo, she would have screamed and maybe attacked him with something for being there without her permission, but she had now gotten to the point where when she saw him sitting on her bed, waiting for her – she just rolled her eyes and ignored him. She was only wrapped in a towel, but there was nothing Mateo hadn’t seen before. Faith walked into her closet and pulled out the clothes she wanted to wear. She didn’t change in the closet, instead, she walked out to find Mateo still sitting on the bed. He has his legs spread and his elbows resting on his knees. His eyes were on her. She frowned and looked around the room, making Mateo follow her gaze with his eyebrows knitted. Faith hummed, “Where is he?” She asked. Mateo frowned and looked around the room, “Where is who?” He asked confusingly. “Your bodyguard?” She asked. “Why would I have my bodyguard in your room, Faith?

They reached the island a couple of hours later. Everyone got off the yacht except for Kai. He stood by the edge, looking vacantly around the island. He gulped uncomfortably and let out a shaky breath. He hasn’t been there since Zeta’s funeral. His eyes roamed around the port. There were Mateo and his people around – guarding them as they all walked towards the signed cars that would take them to the resort where they all would be staying. Piper was walking on the dock. She was the last one in the line. Kai was supposed to follow Piper out, but she felt he was not following behind, so she halted and turned to look at him stuck at the exit. She sighed and watched him as Kai struggled to step out of the yacht. He put his foot forward and backward. She smashed her lips and turned the other way to see Benji walking forward with Levi. She knows her brother is safe with Levi. Mateo was already in the car when he saw Kai still on the yacht. He looked at Faith, “Hey, Levi and Noel are going

Mateo pressed the phone to his ear as the bell rang on the other side. His eyes were on his girlfriend, who was walking around their room while munching on chips and cookies. She was wearing high-waist shorts with a loose shirt over them. The shirt was Mateo’s old one. It was so long that it covered her shorts underneath it. Mateo narrowed his eyes at her upper body and sighed when he noticed that she was not wearing a bra. She had her AirPods in her ear. She was listening to some music while swaying her hips to the beat. Mateo was sitting on the armchair. He changed into a white button-up shirt and black pants. His shirt wasn’t tugged under his pants, and a couple of the buttons of his shirt were also undone. He freshly took a shower, so his hair was wet. He tapped his finger on the arm of the chair as he waited for the person on the other side of the phone to pick up his call while his eyes were fixed on the beauty swaying her hips in front of him. Faith wasn’t even noticing how M

Kai has been in his room for the past hour. He was supposed to go with Mateo, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so. Aldo’s grave is closer to Zeta’s grave, and he doesn’t have the heart to go there. He has been trying to make up his mind to get out and just go with Levi, who was already waiting for him outside, but Kai just couldn’t help himself. He was feeling anxious. He looked at his gloves-covered hands – they were shaking. His breath was labored as well. His mouth was getting dry.Outside his room, Piper stood with her arms folded to her chest. She turned her head around to see Levi on the phone. She noticed his eyebrows were furrowed, while he hushedly talked on the phone – probably with Mateo. Faith was also standing with her at a little distance. Benji was in his room, and she doesn’t know where Ethan was – probably in his room as well. Faith squinted her eyes and nodded her head toward Levi, who was still on the phone. “Do you think everything is okay? Levi seems a little d
