“Morning!” Greeting the morning with a squint, Sunny groaned and shielded her eyes from the blinding sun, burying herself under the blanket. “Come on, let’s get up! We’re about to have a girls’ day out.”That caught Sunny’s attention."Out?" She asked her eyes followed Rosa as she walked to her closet, sunny had been dying to leave the four corners of this house, hell the entire island, but after the incident a week ago, she hadn't dared step out once again fearing Santo's wrath "Don't get too excited, there's a pool out the back, that’s where we're going," Rosa said, stepping out of the closet with two different swim wearsSunny, having her hope cut off once again, covered her head with her blanket "Get up sunny. If I were stuck in this room as much as you are, I would have gone crazy by now," Rosa said, dropping the swim shots on the bed. "now choose," she said "I... I don't wear swimsuits," sunny said shyly, sitting upright as she stared at Rosa’s stunned expression "So what do

The officer raised an eyebrow as he said, “Let me get this straight, she’s actually missing?” His eyes darted back and forth from the picture of Sunny to her best friend Judy.“Yes,” Judy said, her fingers intertwined together as she played with them. With her nerves taking control, she anxiously gnawed on her bottom lip, letting out a sigh and desperately wishing for a feasible solution.“We can’t call this a missing person’s case,” the officer said, watching as the nervous look on Judy’s face turned to a frown“Why not?” With a tilt of her head, Judy recalled the warnings she received from multiple people to hurry to the station before the missing case escalated to a murder case. However, he now insists that it cannot be classified as a missing person’s case.The officer pushed the picture back to Judy and explained, “Because she’s an adult, she has the freedom to stay away for as long as she desires.” She stared at him like he was speaking gibberish “You’re not grasping the gravit

The house felt oddly quiet. Sunny couldn’t exactly pinpoint why. She walked down the hall, her eyes flicking every corner she could find. Rico was now where to be found. Neither was Santo.“Where are you gallivanting to?Rosa’s voice caught the attention with a sunny allure. Sunny turned to find Rosa coming out from Santos’ office “Where’s santo?” Sunny asked, walking closer to Rosa “Well, he went to see daddy dearest and Rico insisted he had to go too,” Rosa said, folding her arm across her chest.“Oh..” sunny said, bowing her head to stare at her toes “Looking for lover boy, are we?” Rosa teased softly, nudging sunny “What, no, what gave you that idea?” Sunny exclaimed, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears “I don’t know, how about your little training section with him,” Rosa said just as they approached her room“What?” Sunny said, stepping into Rosa’s room“I was watching him teach you how to shoot. There was some chemistry I didn’t miss,” Rosa said, tying her hair up i

Santo knew better than to walk into his father’s house unarmed and without assistance, and that’s why he had a total of twelve of his finest men with him along with Rico, the last time he was alone, it left them both with a scar. They all walked through the front door. None of his father’s men dared to stop. Him, they knew him well enough “Santo...” the familiar cheerful voice made santo halt from his walk to his father’s office, santo turned to the direction of the voice, a frown fell on his face “Elena?” Rico beat Santo to it. “What are you doing here?” “Keeping your father in place” the elderly woman spoke dusting off invisible lint from Rico’s suit “you boys are always so formal” she chuckled “now, not here for trouble are we?” she asked her eyes directed to santo “As long as Enzo doesn’t find any” Santo replied before walking past her, Rico followed behind, they both got to Enzo’s office the door shut in front of them, santo took a deep breath, his hands clenching and unclenc

Santo froze, his jaw hanging low as he stared at sunny. The shock of her own actions was evident in her eyes, but she shook it away and smiled softly instead, their faces seconds apart.“I’m sorry you had to face that all by yourself” sunny whispered his fingers softly stroking his face “but you’re not alone anymore” she said watching as Santos eyes flickered from her eyes to her lips, tempted to kiss her again “you’ve got Rosa, Rico..” she paused for a while, almost like she was debated if what she was about to say was the right thing “and you’ve got me” she decided it was.The air was thick with anticipation as they gazed into each other’s eyes, feeling the electricity crackling between them. Without a word, santo reached out and gently cupped sunny’s face in his hands, his touch sending shivers down her spine.With a soft, almost imperceptible sigh, Sunny leaned into santo, their lips meeting in a tender, tentative kiss. But as the moments passed, their desire ignited like a wildfi
