"Damn whipped!" Lucas uttered it silently yet with diction.I turned my gaze to Athena, who was going to the kitchen to get a drink. I can’t help but notice her all the time. Damn it."Shut the fvck up, both of you." I uttered, trying to be careful not to be heard.Amos laughed and shook his head while Lucas was still looking at me so amused. I swear, I’m gonna kill this bastard if he doesn’t stop acting like this.I jugged the rest of the rum before I glared at the both of them. I lifted a finger and pointed them out."Stop with your bullsh!ts, both of you.""What?" Lucas asked defensively, trying not to laugh."Stop throwing shades or else I’m going to fvcking slit your throat." I said, full of grim.Lucas avoided my gaze and even grabbed Amos’ arm and held it like a kid. I clenched my jaw in frustration."And you, old man. Are you trying to play with me, huh? Can’t you keep your sh!ts to yourself? " I sneered at him.He smirked. The fine lines on his face showed up."I’m just tryin

I looked at myself in the full length mirror. I wore the red flowy dress and scanned myself without any emotion. Big day today.I feel sick today, honestly. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve skipped some of my meals because of too much overthinking or that I only have a tiny bit of strength left in me today.I sighed. I pursed my lips and wore my red lip stick as usual. This is for good luck. I need big luck today. I badly need one.I ignored it, seeing my phone ringing and lighting up beside me. I don’t want to take calls today. I’m having internal turmoil. I need to be on character, or else, I’ll be fvcked up and all of our plans will go to waste.This must’ve been the biggest scam I’ve done so far. And I’m afraid that if this succeeds, we’ll do more. With all the chaos that’s going on around me, I don’t think my conscience is working well with me right now.For almost half an hour, I sat on the bed, in front of my full length mirror, while spacing out, while the only noise that cou

"So from what I’m seeing, we could possibly go into details once I visit his place. Or unless you get enough information. "I continued typing on my phone, almost not minding Peter’s lectures. It’s been a while since complicated situations happened. However, Milo is still at the hospital for healing treatment. Yes, his brain operation was successful. He didn’t need to have a transplant because of that."Are you even listening?" I heard Peter’s annoyed tone."Yeah, continue."Me:I’m afraid I’m not the best one to do that, but I’m sure I could work on it.Knight:No freakin' way.I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. I typed my reply.Me:Let’s try it."Athena! Fvck!" Peter grunted.I blinked my eyes and focused on him. "Y-yeah,"He glared at me. "Can you focus just for this damn time? This is big. You want to go to jail or what? "I grinned and relaxed myself on the single couch. I slanted for him to see that I was all ears. I waved my hand, signing for him to continue."As I was

One day, you’ll meet someone who will rob you without you knowing it. The next thing you know, you’re left with nothing. You’ve given your all, your body, your heart, your soul. I’m ashamed. I know I’m slowly falling into the pit of wickedness I dug out."What? But I thought... I couldn’t continue."Yes, baby. I’m sorry. I promise I’ll be home as soon as this appointment ends. Or I could just let my driver pick you up." Knight said on the other line.I pouted and the lift opened. Of course, there’s no one here. We have agreed to meet at his place today. I thought he was home already, but as for what he had said. He’s still in his office, dealing with work."No, it’s okay. I’m just going to wait for you here. " I smiled lightly."Alright. Laters, baby, " he mimics the movie we watched together.I giggled and rolled my eyes. "Focus on your work, Mr. Augustus!"He groaned, and I ended the call immediately. A smile didn’t leave my face while I entered his place. I went straight to the kit

"Kill him.""Look at him straight in the eye, Athena. That’s the man who deceived you. ""I have only ever loved you."I woke up gasping for breath. I opened the lamp on my bedside and checked my phone. It’s almost five in the morning. I dreamed weird. I know it’s bad, yet I can’t remember it.I tried to go back to sleep, but my body didn’t listen to me, so I just stood up to have some coffee. I spaced out the whole morning sitting on my table contemplating things. More like, trying to remember what I dreamed of.Frustration was all I got for wasting my time thinking about nonsensical things. It was just a dream, Athena! Why do you need to remember that?I prepared for my errands for today. I will be visiting the orphanage today, not that it’s necessary since Knight has already donated fully. I just want to visit them as well. And speaking of Knight, he told me he’d come with me today.My phone lit up while I was choosing my outfit for the day. I glanced at it and saw it was from Knig
