Greyson POV
I parked my car in the garage and got off. I glanced at my wristwatch to check the time and said it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
One of my earliest homecomings.
I immediately went in as I took off the coat and placed it on the couch.
“Where's Callixta? Is her training already over?” I asked to one of my maids.
“Don, they are still in the fitness gym until now”, she replied, bowing.
I raised an eyebrow at what she said. I only gave Dan until four o'clock to train her for weeks, he was my best trainer underground. He was one of the senior officers of the training ground I held.
Callixta Pov"We have different types of guns but these are all the most popular one. We have rifles, shotguns, handguns, revolvers, pistols and machine guns." Chandler pointed all the guns he mentioned."What do you prefer to use?" he added.I looked at the guns and examined them carefully. Everything is polished and arranged well with safety measures."I prefer handguns, and I want this one", I choose while stroking it."Nice choice. That's Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum, a 9mm hand caliber which you can shoot at nice range. Many considered that as light to carry, accurate and most powerful." He explained while walking towards me. He picked the gun and started explaining more.
Callixta PovWeeks had passed, and my trainings are getting harder,, especially in combat. I’m also focusing on controlling my emotions, which according to Dan can be detrimental to me. I also need to change the way I look at other people. Before, I used to see goodness in other people, but not all goodness prevails in their hearts. That others are exploitative, like Tita Medly and Tito Arc. Yes! I call them tito and tita now, besides they aren't my real parents. And about my wish to Grayson about getting their money, I still have no news. Maybe that Blast was just fooling me, and he really had no intention of fulfilling my request. I heaved a deep sigh. It seems like lately I’ve been so innocent and barely able to hold a gun, unlike now that I’m accustomed to using any weapons. They also taught me how to make explosive bombs. How to hack computers, and what they called &ldq
Callixta POVThe car stopped in a luxurious building that you wouldn’t consider a bar. It has 3 floors. Awesome music can be heard from afar.Before I could open the car to get out, Greyson had already opened it. He stretched his arm to reach the car door with his hand.“Thank you”, I said while adjusting my dress.“Stick to our plan”, he reminded. I just nodded in response. I got out of the car and took a deep breath.“You can do this, Callista!” I cheer myself up.I walked to the back of the bar to enter the staff room. This is also where the staffs pass and work in this bar. We had a
Blast POV“Fuck it! Come inside! Save Callixta, no matter what happens! Save everyone in our group! Tell Dan to send back up immediately” I shouted at them. I took the machine gun in the back of the car and entered the bar. I can't contain my anger anymore and fire my gun on the second floor. People ran and shouted. I can't explain the adrenaline rush that joined me. All I know is I need to save Callixta. I took the stairs because I knew there were many men waiting in the elevator.“Marcus, get back up. Call Dan immediately!” I said on them. Two of my men followed behind me. I shoot the men in the stairs one by one. There are some of my men shooting enemies in the building. I also saw a few lying on the floor.“Marcus, can you hear me? Are they still fucking in the penthouse?!? I asked
Callixta PovI went outof the room to drink water in the kitchen. I found Maria while preparing food for lunch. It was noon before I left the room.“Hi, Maria.” I wave, walking to the refrigerator to get water.“Hello Ma'am, how are you?” she asked with worry.“I'm fine, I felt a little off, but I can manage it.” I sparingly smiled at her before pouring water into the glass and gulping it down.“What are you cooking, maybe I can help”, I asked curiously placing back the water. The smell is delicious and appetizing. My stomach rumbled because of it. We both laughed while in front of what she was cooking.
Nica appeared in my room again holding a bunch of dresses. She never gave up encouraging me to come and wear a piece of silk. It was a black sleeveless midthigh dress. I chose this dress even though she keeps insisting of the other revealing dresses she has. In the end, I won by using Stewart's name. I tried Greyson's, but she only persistently made me wear it. So, I tried another way to convince her, ending up that she has a crush on Stewart.“Do you think I'm overdressed?” I asked thrice this evening.“No, of course not!” shaking her head. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. I can see a different woman dressed like a seducer. She's gorgeous wearing a black dress fitting her curves. The dress has a slit in the lining, revealing her long thigh. The upper part of the dress is a sleeveless that has a low cut in its neck. Her breasts
“Cheers!” Nica shouted as she raised the glass. I also raised my wine glass and shouted as well. I felt dizzy, but I'm not drunk yet. Of course, not yet. I also found out Greyson’s ex’s name is Angel. Wow, see? From face to name, she's perfect. We have nothing against her.“Nics that's enough. You're drunk, you and Callixta. You both need to go home already.” Stewart said with concern. He didn't drink after we came here. He just watched us as if we were going to do something bad.“Let's drink, babe”, Nica stood up but suddenly sat down as well. Stewart immediately comes to her side to back her up. But alcohol has already hit her. She wiped his hands, attempting to hold her for support.“I can still stand, Stewart. You can eat someone's face here. Go, shoo!”
After what happened that night, Greyson and I avoid each other. I've never been touched nor kissed like that. After the make out session in the car, he left me inside. Our body betrays us when we feel the heat. I also don't know what happened to Nica and Stewart that night. We left them in the bar eating each other faces, giving them privacy and a chance to confess to each other. I also came back from training and practicing. I felt myself useless after the failure of my first mission. I walked to kitchen to get whatever I can eat, or I'll talk to Maria. If I ever have money and power in such groups, I’ll use it to find my real family, as well as to drag down Belle’s company.“A penny for your thoughts?” Maria interrupted me.“Hi, Maria. What are you going to cook for today?” I asked her, feeling excited about her cooking ski
"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
