We run into the back of the mall to get there. Stewart was holding his shoulder to avoid the bleeding of his wound. Nica was in his side, trying to help him while still firing at the enemies.
"Let's go!" I shouted then ran to the door, opened it. Enemy personnel opened up on me so I quickly hid on the sidelines. They are waiting for us to pass here, this is messed up more than I think it was. It's really good that I sent Jeiah home first. I am thankful that they sent back-up but whatever happened, I still want to witness and see my nephews.
I came out of my hiding place, shot the opponents. Stewart and Nica were at my back too, trying to take down as many as they can.
"I don't think they're exhausted", Nica commented. I agree too. Even though back-up helped us, enemies are still growing it's number minute by minute.
Callixta PovI hugged Ace when I saw him at my back when I'm still asking Nica. I was beyond shock seeing her and Stewart here but I know this is for their safety."Hey! I don't know that you live in this so beautiful mansion like huh." Nica nudge my arms."Blast's house is also a mansion, so we're just the same." I smiled at her before I invited her to go inside the house."But it's nice seeing other places, beautiful like this. Wait, where is your clinic or infirmary? I just want to visit Stewart first so I can tell him I'm here inside. Maybe when he wakes up he'll think differently." She smiled not meeting my eyes."If I know, you only wanted to visit him because you are too concerned about his health state."
Nica POVIt’s been three days since Callixta and I talked, but that hasn’t been followed up yet. I know I just forced him into a situation he couldn't handle yet, but I just wanted to help them both with Blast. I love them both, and I get hurt every time I see Calli or Blast suffering because they are separated. Hopefully in the coming day, Callixta's mind will be opened and Blast will be able to explain what is really going on. I realized now that, it’s really hard to be a victim of the situation. Be a victim of bitter destiny.“Aren't we going to talk to her?” Stewart asked as he adjusted the gauge on his wound. After three days of stay, rest and healing we decided to leave. But of course, we have to fulfill Ace's request, forget everything that happened here even the stay in this house. We never set foot in the hou
Blast POVI was so nervous when I found out that the enemy in the mall attacked Callixta and the others again.It's been three days since Stewart and Patterson didn't show up. I received their text about what happened, and they had to hide before they could recover. Little did they know, I'm always informed about the Monteverde's movements, especially Callixta. At first, I was almost in a rage because I felt like I was being betrayed by the two, but I realized everything. I also made many mistakes, I made many unacceptable decisions, but they understood me and did not leave.Angel became demanding as always. Her stomach is also growing which makes her being picky and moody. She wanted to avoid walking without support. She wanted my whole attention to be focused only on caring for her. Which I found fuc
After a few hours, we took Angel to the hospital. He fell down the stairs and rolled down causing him to bleed. I don't know if she and her son are okay.“What happened to our daughter?” Her father asked while looking badly at me.I raised both of my hands indicating that I am surrendering in this conversation.“I didn't do anything to her”, I clarified to them.“In that case, what happened to her?” Angel's mother asked.“I found her in the bottom of the stairs. I don't know what happened.” I said a stoic response.“You are the husband! You must watch over your wife! It's your responsibility!” Her father shouted. Ai
Ruzito Monteverde POVNo one messes with my family. The day will come for the Bell's and Obvisi. I will not miss what they did to Arrizona and my children. They need to pay! Blood for blood, teeth to teeth."Call all our elite men, bring them in our meeting place." I sternly said while holding my phone in my right hand.I walked away from my office room before closing it. I stumbled with one of my maid."Inform Ace that we will have a meeting in an hour. Same place." I said as she bows her head following my order.I walked lifting my chin up taking the stairs."Dad, look!" Jeiah happily showed me the photo of her pregnancy. Mixed emotions reign me. My knees are
Callixta / Jeiah POVI felt something was going on behind my back and they don't want to tell me about it. I walked down the stairs with difficulty as my bump is really getting bigger like I swallowed a huge watermelon. I used the staircase for support, carefully stepping my foot in the stair. I meet one of the housemaids halfway, whom helped me to walk down in stable and safer pace."Are all of them still in the meeting?" I asked the maid. She looks like she's in her mid-thirties and worked for so long in this house."Yes Ma'am." She said politely lowering her head to give respect in me even in our casual talk."You can call me Jeiah or Callixta, whatever you prefer." I told her when we reached the la
"So, what's your plan if there's a possibility that it won't be successful?" I asked them while my eyes and moving over them. Dad just tweaked his hair while deep in thought."We are still thinking. I thought that when Mr. Obvisi's group found out about Dad's plan that he explained in the meeting earlier and in front of everyone, they will use another strategy that will definitely bring us down. And knowing that they have information about being a Monteverde you are certain, you are one of those they can use against us and dad to make us obey. " Ace stopped, inhaling a deep breath before continuing again.“I have these guts saying they’ll attack this house where you are on the day of the attack on their den because they know that most of our personnel will be used in the attack, they will expect that our security level is at its lowest .They can get
That day ended with fun and a smile on my lips. I also didn’t see or talk to dad and Ace again that same day. I am so grateful to Maria for her visit and cooking for me. I still want to talk to dad or Ace about what Maria really is in our mafia group because her coming out here brought confusion to my mind.“Ouch”, I groaned in pain when I felt pain in my femininity. I didn’t know, so I sat up in my bed.“What was that?” I asked while checking my underwear. My chest throbbed fast when I saw there was a little blood there. My hand trembled at what I touched, I was scared to the highest level.I swallowed, I think I need to see my doctor now. As I was still staring at my underwear, I heard a knock from my door. I immediately pulled it up and fixed myself. I wiped an es
"Jeiah! Come out of the room quickly, you might be late for your own wedding!" Nica shouted loudly without mercy to anyone's ears.I smiled looking at the mirror for the nth time, without leaving the small curve line forming in my lips."Coming!" I shouted and smiled in my reflection, carrying the white long silk of my gown. I put it down and let it flow freely in the ground as I walk downstairs of the house. Nica was there, smiling at me with her gloomy eyes."You are the most gorgeous bride I've ever seen." She said excitedly and jumped from happiness. I chuckled and hug her when I finally reached the last step."Or maybe I am the only bride you've seen so far." I joked as she hit me lightly."I've seen a lot!" She defended."Or, you haven't seen yourself wearing bride's gown." I pushed the topic and I've seen how she blu
"Mom, thank you for everything. Thank you for giving me hope when I am about to accept death and hopeless to every situation of my life." I laughed sadly, wiping my tears welling up in my eyes."Mom, thank you for saving me. Thank you for the life you kept giving in me." I sit up on her grave and touched the marble, where her name was written."Mom, you are the best and I hope I will become like you now. I hope I can raise my two son with same love and life you spent to make me live. I love you mom, and I promise, I will love you and will never be forgotten in my heart." I out the flowers beside her grave and sit there for a while.I watched the candle light swayed in accordance to the air's direction, giving me warmth in my heart."
Jeiah POVAfter putting my twins on their cribs, I sit on the chair located in front of the window of the room.It is still daylight, and sun is smiling brightly outside, enchanting me to stare in the vast sky.How do clouds freely move at the sky freely?"Jeiah!" A female voice shouted carelessly, interrupting my thoughts as I immidiately glare at her and put my finger in my mouth to send her the signal to stay quite for my kids are sleeping soundly."Look! I can visit you now because your father and brother agreed! I am so excited to see my godsons!" She happily stated while running on my direction and squeeze me to
"Uhm Jeiah, please calm down first", Rey suggested but I am not in my mood to listen to anyone."Who gave him this?!" I asked half shouted half whispered so that my son's won't be disturbed. I gave them a chance to tell me the person who gave it, waiting for them to speak.I checked Grey Ace's wrist and my blood boils at it's extent."Who gave them these?!" I asked for the nth time, but they keep lowering their heads, adding an irritation from what I feel."Its from me." I voice from the entrance of the house spoke."And who gave you the permission to..." I was cutted from my burst out, seeing who it is. I gulped, at the same time my brows form a thin line from shock but I com
The next day, the doctor allowed me to go home already but with prescribed medicines needed to intake for following days. I packed my stuffs early in the morning, fearing that the doctor will come back and will stop me from going."Are you ready?" Dad asked me while scanning my whole bags."Yes Dad, I packed first in the morning." I answered eagerly."Yeah I can see that." He whispered in the air making me smile to myself.Finally, I will be able to see my twins together for the first time here outside the hospital. I will be able to take care of them today and for the rest of my life to them."Wait for Ace here in the room, I'll go in the front desk for the papers." Dad said and walked away from me.&n
Jeiah POVI opened my eyes and all I can see around are painted with white. I tried blinking a few more before settling my eyes into someone in the room."D-dad", I called out even though he's in his deep sleep, I wanted to ask a few questions to the point that I wanted to interrupt his sleep."Hmmmm?" He grunted and moved a bit."Dad? You can sleep here in the bed." I offered."It's fine. No, no, no, I'm sorry I fell asleep." He said and get up to attend to my side."What happened dad?" I asked him the question that my mind keeps on digging in my mind on how I ended in this place after what happened.
Blast POVI drove my car into the road and wherever the possible route they might be.My phone buzzed again and I answered it, putting into speaker."I tracked her and she's in the Norhan Street. They seemed to stopped. Their location didn't changed nor moved." Rey said as I tried the fastest speed my car can offer me right now."Okay, I get it. " I replied still focusing on the road so I could not be involved in any accident again. This is time is crucial and I needed to be there for her."Please do report on us if you found her." He said."Yes, I will. I'll hang up now." I replied and ended the call.
Blast POV"Greyson", I heard a female voice called my name so I put the book I am reading and face her."What do you want Angel?" I asked irritably. Though I accepted this, it doesn't mean that we can get along."I'm sorry." She said, sniffing in the air. I rolled my eyes into her and picked the book again."You've been telling that for how many times. My ears are already bleeding, don't say it again and again." I replied back while flipping the pages. I think I can't read and comprehend this anymore.I felt Angel sitting in the bed, a few meters away from me. We agreed that she should put a distance whenever we are alone. We can pretend when there's a people but if none, s
“Grandma, this is Jeiah. Jeiah, this is my grandma Eleonora in my maternal side.” Ace introduced to me when we escaped from Scorpions."W-why are you doing this?" I asked with hesitation. How come it's her. I didn't do anything to her and she's one of Ace's relatives, why she wants to kill us."Maybe because I am bored? HAHAHAHA who do you think you are?" She replied, staring at me directly.Yes she's old but I felt intimidated. The grandma who's soft, vulnerable and heart welcoming woman was gone. She turned into a complete devil just now."I can't imagine that you are behind all of this! Ace loves you so much and looks from you! He thought you are the only relative left in her
