AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING THIRTY
The thumping sound of music filled Lorenzo's ears from the moment he decided to enter the club and drink as much as he can to forget his sadness about Selena. Already ten times Lorenzo had asked the bartender to give him a brandy so he would get drunk and no longer imagine Selena waiting anxiously for him at home. Now Lorenzo was starting to feel the effects of the brandy which had affected his mind until now his head was spinning and dizzy. In an indistinct voice, Lorenzo asked the bartender to give him another eleventh brandy. To hell with his drunken state, all he wanted today was to let go of the image of Selena that hurt him. "Give me one more shot." asked Lorenzo in an indistinct voice. At the same time Lorenzo's head fell on the table as the effect of the brandy began to work on his light body. Lorenzo fell asleep imagining Selena's smiling face in his head. Flash back Lorenzo was walking alone in the hallway of his headquarters when he heard the voices of women gossiping ab

One week after Selena's death, Lorenzo began to adapt to his new status. Now he is learning to do everything himself. Starting from waking Enzo to go to school, preparing Enzo breakfast, and taking Enzo to school. But it was not all done by Lorenzo himself because Carmen always helped him. Since knowing all the things that happened to Lorenzo, she dared to show her concern by often coming to Lorenzo's house to prepare breakfast or taking care of Enzo if Lorenzo was busy finishing his work at the headquarters. "Good morning." Carmen greeted father and son who were walking down the stairs one by one. Enzo, who was next to Lorenzo, looked at Lorenzo strangely because Carmen had been at his house that early. “Dad, why did aunty Carmen come into our house so early?” Lorenzo shrugged and looked directly at the gardener who just happened to be passing in front of them. “Looks like Beck let her in. Beck, next time don't let strangers into this house." Lorenzo warned with a cold face. Be

Aimee rested her chin on her desk while looking bored at the state of her colleagues who suddenly became unemployed after Selena died. On the right side of her desk, Aimee saw Monica was busy reading a fashion magazine that she had read many times because she had no more reading stock to fill her boring spare time. Whereas usually Monica has to steal time to read her magazines because of their very busy work. But now they actually look like unemployed because their team has not been active again since Lorenzo is still in mourning and is having tough negotiations with the general council, which Aimee thinks is very old-fashioned. "Argh, I'm bored!" shouted Aimee loudly and made all of her comrades look at her strangely. Austin, who was not far from Aimee's desk, immediately threw the woman's head with a ballpoint pen because he was disturbed by Aimee's loud voice. "What happened to you? Don't you have any gossip material to make your day better?" Austin said sarcastically. Aimee als

Aimee, Austin, Lay, Monica, and Daniel stood up straight when Lorenzo came into their room with a straight face and looking in a hurry. They all seemed very curious about the outcome of the meeting held by the council of generals, but they were afraid to ask because of the gloomy expression on Lorenzo's face. "Get ready, we're going to get Jesse McLean at the airport," said Lorenzo firmly. The five agents stared at each other, and when Lorenzo snapped back at them, they ran to and fro to prepare for the mission. "What are we going to do captain, what do we need to bring with us?" asked Daniel on behalf of his colleagues. Lorenzo snorts at the sluggish performance of his agents, even though he's only been off for a week, and they're getting really bad. “Bring whatever you find useful, because we're going to ambush Jesse McLean at the airport. And my hunch is that it won't be easy because he will have a lot of bodyguards protecting him." The five of them then immediately prepared

Lorenzo lay weak in the hospital room after doctors managed to remove the bullet lodged in his right abdomen. The bullet nearly tore through the wall of his kidney. Lucky because he often exercises to enlarge the muscles in his body, so the bullet only managed to penetrate the muscle layer. "Tsk, I'm bored." Lorenzo snorted in annoyance to himself that there was no one to accompany him after the operation. Whereas in the past... hah, now he's getting tired of remembering his past. Now it was just him and Enzo, the rest, he was alone. And since Selena died, he became aware of what life means, he realized that all living humans will eventually die. So there is no reason for him to continue to cry for Selena, he must wake up to move on with his life and forget his grief over Selena's death. "Huh, how I really wanted to put this photo on my desk so that you always cheer me up dear. But it turns out I can only do it now. I miss you dear. Please give me strength.” Lorenzo closed his eye

A blonde-haired woman was watching her family's business from upstairs. She is accompanied by a loyal servant who has always been by her side to be her guardian and also her adviser when she needs advice for every decision she will make. "Has grandpa arrived yet?" the woman asked, taking a sip of her vodka. Looks like she's having a lot of trouble. "The your grandpa’s plane will land at four o'clock in the afternoon, Ms." Her loyal servant told his lady while looking at the flight schedule of his big boss who would soon arrive in Las Vegas. But so far he saw that his miss was not too happy with the arrival of her grandfather, even though before this she had been so enthusiastic to meet her grandfather she had not seen for a long time. “It seems that you are not too pleased with the arrival of the big boss?” The woman let out a small breath while looking around the corner of her casino with a huff. "I'm not unhappy, but I'm just confused about how to deal with Grandpa if yesterda

Krystal was angry at Yunho because he just woke her up and made her have to leave her comfortable dream world. she was in the mood to relax a bit before her grandfather came and might make her unable to sleep for the next few days. But Yunho just said that one of the bosses of a drug cartel from Italy came to make transactions at The Wyn. And as a good host, like it or not, Krystal has to come down and welcome her new partner with a friendly welcome. “Mr. Angelo has been waiting for you downstairs, Ms.” "I know. Wait a minute, I'll get ready first." Krystal walked away to her room which was on the third floor of the casino building. She had to at least look decent in front of the big bosses of the drug cartel so that he would be more interested in cooperating with her. Aren't men very weak against women? For that she will use the weakest side of men to ensnare him. Fifteen minutes later Krystal appeared in front of Yunho in a tight dress fifteen inches above the knee that was so r

"Yunho.." Krystal called Yunho softly when the man was seen conversing with an old man in front of him. “My granddaughter, Krystal Cunningham.” Krystal walked stiffly towards the man and tried to hug her grandfather warmly. But when Krystal hugged her grandfather's body, she felt something empty. He felt that he did not recognize his grandfather because so far they had never met and only often had conversations via telephone or video calls. "You don't seem happy with my arrival, are you having some trouble you're hiding?" “No, I just… feel a little awkward.” The old man chuckled softly and brought Krystal back into his arms. There is no anger or disappointment because it turns out that his own granddaughter feels foreign to him. He actually felt understood and determined to increase his closeness with Krystal because now Krystal is the only family he has besides Jesse McLean. "It's okay, we really haven't met before, have we? More precisely you who have been experiencing pain,

Selena was pensive at the edge of the sidewalk while watching the passing of Agents, police officers, and medical teams who were busy evacuating victims of a suicide bombing. It felt like what happened this morning was like a dream for Selena. It was only three days ago that she woke up from her terrible amnesia, and now she has been faced with another horrific event that has claimed several innocent lives. Many Agents died tonight defending her. In order to save herself and the shackles of the ruthless mafia that had always been the target of their team. But Selena never thought that it would be as terrible as tonight. Austin... the man who was once a part of her life, her little brother who always adored her, was not that innocent. Austin has been deceiving a lot of people with his sweet mask that really made everyone fall for his kind demeanor. In fact she never expected the slightest until she became the figure of Krystal. A cruel and bloodthirsty young woman. Selena massaged her
AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING SIXTY TWO (AUSTIN'S SIDE)
Since Selena's death, the atmosphere in this place has grown increasingly gloomy. Coupled with the various unpleasant events that occurred at this place. All agents looked less excited than usual. This afternoon I feel empty. Normally we would work passionately with Selena, but right now she's struggling in Las Vegas. Last night I received news that she had passed her critical period, but she had not yet opened her eyes. I hope she wakes up soon and can return to our midst. “Austin...” Brukk Suddenly someone cornered me against the wall and pushed me between the wall and the man. But a few seconds later I immediately realized that the man who was pinning me was our captain, Lorenzo. “Captain, what are you doing?” “Excellent acting Austin. I already know everything.” he said with a cynical laugh etched on his face. I furrowed my brows in disbelief and tried to remain calm in front of him. “You shot me when I was about to stop Jesse McLean, and you acted weird when Selena was tr

Selena shot Jesse McLean, but unfortunately the bullet missed because Yunho immediately jumped to save Jesse McLean so the bullet only hurt Yuho's leg and also broke a large vas behind them. "Damn it! Look what she's doing now, you're really stupid for still thinking of her as Krystal, she's not Krystal! She will destroy us!” Bang Bang Abraham Cunningham tried to shoot Selena, but Selena managed to dodge and returned Abraham Cunningham's shot at her, but unfortunately the shot missed because Selena shot him not with full focus. "Krystal! Stop all this, you're inside the Bloods main mansion. Right now all the Bloods members are already out there. If you kill any of us, you obviously won't survive because they will surely kill you the moment you step your foot out of this room. If you still want to be with your family, you better obey my orders. Throw that weapon away right now!” Jesse McLean ordered firmly. Selena smiled sarcastically at Jesse McLean and instead put the gun right

"Halo, where are you?" "That is none of your business." Selena replied curtly at Austin who was calling her. The woman pulled up her car in front of a mini market that was open twenty-four hours to buy something because she was so hungry. But when she was about to get off, she saw a black car that also stopped not far from where it stopped. She canceled her intention to get off and went back into her car to test whether the black car was really following her or not. “That is my business now that you are my fiancé.” Austin replied firmly. Selena snorted in disgusting and prepared to hang up the phone, but Austin's warning tone managed to stop her from pressing the red button on her phone. “Don't even think about turning off your cell phone Krystal Cunningham. I know you're being followed right now." Krystal glanced in her rearview mirror and saw a black sedan that was following her. She then opened the drawer of her car and pulled out a gun that she always kept in there. "Who are

Mrs. Watson who saw that her son-in-law did not react to the woman whose face was similar to her daughter. She looked at Lorenzo with a confused face. “Mom, Selena has amnesia yesterday. The criminals brainwashed Selena to avenge them on me. They then used Selena to harm her own family, so yesterday she had to shoot Enzo. But now Selena is back. She already remembers everything and wants to make amends for all her mistakes to Enzo." "Really?" Mrs. Watson looked at Selena tearfully while cupping Selena's face full of emotion. And after that she hugged her daughter tightly while sobbing on Selena's shoulder because finally after two years of separation, the two of them were able to meet again. “Selena... Selena, my daughter. You're finally back, sweetheart," said Mrs. Watson sobbed. Selena hugged her mom tightly and she poured out all her longing for her mom. And now she no longer feels the emptiness like when she was Krystal. Now she really has found her family with whom she truly

"Where's Krystal?" Jesse McLean asked where Krystal was after two days he had to go abroad to solve various problems that occurred in Bloods. "Ms. Krystal since completed her mission to injure captain Lorenzo's son has confined herself to a room, sir," said a man in charge of guarding the Jesse McLean residence. Not long after that Austin appeared casually while biting an apple from the kitchen. "You're just exaggerating. Krystal wasn't that bad, she just locked herself in her room because she was stressed thinking about all the boring things that happened in the headquarters. If I were Krystal, I would definitely do the same.” "Then what about that son of a bitch, did Krystal manage to do well?" Austin shrugged nonchalantly, and unceremoniously walked past Jesse McLean to sit down on the comfortable couch. “Krystal did a great job, the child is currently dying in the hospital. And if you're lucky, maybe the kid is already dead." said Austin casually. Jesse McLean furrowed his

Selena stood in front of a Chicago hospital with nervousness and fear running through her heart. Yesterday she overheard Austin refer to the Chicago hospital as the place where Enzo was being treated. And now here she was to meet Enzo, Lorenzo, and also her mother. But she was afraid. She was afraid they would hate her and kick her out of here because she almost killed Enzo. “Lorenzo...” From a distance, Selena could already see Lorenzo bending his head to face the floor in the waiting room with a frustrated expression on his face. Next to him stood a woman who was gently stroking her husband's back while whispering words she couldn't hear. "Lorenzo, I'm sorry." Selena sobbed softly from where she was standing in a pitiful voice. She decided to walk closer to Lorenzo so she could apologize to him for all the things she had done to him. "You!" Carmen flinched in surprise as she pointed at Selena who suddenly appeared in front of her. Suddenly, Lorenzo looked up and looked alertly

“Krystal, are you okay?” Austin looked at Krystal worriedly as he continued to concentrate on the busy street in front of him. Ever since they left Lorenzo's front yard a few minutes ago, Krystal looked dazed and seemed like a lunatic. She repeatedly mumbled words about murder and blood which made Austin even more worried about the woman's condition. “You've done the right thing, you really should have repaid that man's lecherous treatment of you. You're great Krystal," praised Austin while gently stroking the top of Krystal's head. Krystal just stood there and didn't even respond to Austin's words. Right now she was like an undead that looked so terrible. Her face that usually emitted a dangerous killing aura had now turned pale and colorless. The assassination attempt she did a moment ago managed to shake Krystal's soul for some reason. Could something have happened to her? "Austin, I want to go home." Krystal said slowly. Austin nodded his head while heaving a sigh of relief b

"Krystal! My Krystal!” Jesse McLean and Yunho greeted Krystal with a feeling of relief when the woman walked with a haughty face into the living room of her grandfather's main house, Abraham Cunningham. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you since yesterday." "Don't worry boss, Krystal is safe." Austin suddenly appeared from the front door and made everyone present shriek in surprise. "Austin, you're still alive," said Jesse McLean in disbelief. Austin nodded his head slightly at his boss and smiled proudly at all the Bloods members in the main house. "I managed to get out of my car and jump into the Chicago River." “But how could the rescue team not be able to find you?” Yunho asked openly. He was initially very sure that Austin would not be able to survive, now seemed very curious about what Austin had done to survive the death that was about to take him. “I hid and managed to get out of the river before the rescue team went down the river to look for my body.
