Alessia's POVOne thing I do not like is bumping into people discussing about me. Especially when I am in the most awful mood, like right now. I glared at Allen then back at Cara. "Why are you both discussing me?" I inquired, pulling out a stool for myself. Cara stared at me with a pitiful glance, "my pretty angel, we were just talking about the condition of the family and yours." "And even if you heard us discussing about you. There is nothing wrong with it." Allen blurted. I pushed at his forehead, "you lack everything that is regarded as manners. Shouldn't you feel awful for talking behind my back?" "You are my cousin, I will talk about you whichever way I want." He insistedI flicked my tongue at him, knowing he wouldn't give up. "All I know is, I won't be like my mother and get subjected to carrying burdens that are not mine." "Sure, I understand." Said Cara. "Who owns the food?" I gestured towards the tray Cara was arranging. "It for your mother, she hasn't been eating w

Author's POVRyan boiled with anger as his eyes scanned the entire room. None of the frat members are regarding him the way they should. It's almost like they had all been seeking for an opportunity to get at him. He would have thought they would at least trust his opinion and decisions. He has been running the frat for almost three decades with no glitch and just one or say close to two heist failure had all of them running their mouth. "We are not letting this next heist happen, Ryan." The one Ryan despises the most, whom he usually refers to as rat faced Brian said. Thinning his lips, Ryan inhaled his smoke pretending to not hear anything. Giving Brian the room to keep talking with the silent go ahead from the rest of the men. "We have lost two important artifacts. The intention was to have control over this things and make them worthwhile. How are we so sure you aren't hoarding them to yourself with another unknown team."Murmurs of agreement bounces through the four corners of

Collin's POVI can't seem to understand this sort of dinner where the hosts pry into your life and discuss it so openly like they know you closely. Why Tephanie's parents would question me like I was the one dating their daughter, seem to surpass my knowledge. To cap it all my parents sat down saying nothing, there was no doubt one of them had exposed me to Tephanie's parents. Charlie it might be, because he kept talking about how they were leaders of the watch and how important they are. Not to forget their protective body would help us last longer in the fox city.I hate being at people's mercy and most importantly people meddling into my personal life. I kicked at the grass angrily. My eyes scanning the car outside the gate, Tephanie's compound was filled to the brim with different type of cars. Its almost like a silent message to visitors not to bother driving in.If that wasn't the case, one member or two of the family is obsessed with their car collection. They have the most we

Alessia's POVThe music blasted in my eyes as I shot the arrows hitting it's target like I was on some sort of cruise. It made me feel calmer and happy. I should really do this more, my shooting isn't all that bad. I have just been too lazy to practice. "Wow, what are you on woman?" Allen sat next to me, as I rested with my arms stretched out on the grass. I snickered sitting up, "do you always have to comment on everything?" He shrugged, "I can't just help but notice, don't crucify me." I laughed, "what exactly have you don't this morning?" "Ran ten laps around the field. Caught my breath about a hundred times and now I feel like the most fit person in the entire universe." "You crazy being. When would you act your age?" I couldn't hold back the loud laugh. He joined in still resting on the grass, letting out a loud sigh when he caught his breath. "I am trying to take one step at a time." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." He said hurriedly"You are lying. That was too quick!"

Author's POVCarla loved her disguise, the use of the hooded red dress she had bought unintentionally years ago finally came in handy when she needed it the most. Coupled with the round glasses and heavy red lipstick on her lips, she could be mistaken for someone else. It's quite a hard task outsmarting someone who is watching ones every move. But she wouldn't let that deter her, she had reserved a sit in the most busiest restaurant in fox city. And the location seem perfect because; none of those who have the high probability of recognizing her would never be found in such place.When she got to the private booth she had on reserve, Brian was already seated with his head down sipping on his drink like a just released convict. He blinked rapidly when he saw her. "Welcome, Carla." He stuttered. She rolled her eyes, sitting down with a huff. "I need you to give me a full update to whatever the message you sent me was about."On her way back to the house she had received a text from B
