Callixta Pov
I went out of 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
At exactly eleven in the evening, I started to climb the tree with dangling leaves to the garden of the house. I clung to the tree and slowly climbed into its branches. My breathing is unstable, my heart thumps faster than normal.“I can do this. I did these hundreds of times.” I whispered to myself. Yeah, this is my secret passage, but I've also fallen and broken a few times because of it. While walking, I looked at the beautiful thing, the light is still on, meaning they are still awake. I move my right foot tracing the branch of the tree, but it's not here. It was late when I realized they had already cut it. I jumped down, and I felt myself falling in the flowers."Fuck”, I cursed while holding my butt as it collapsed. I scratched my head full of leaves and plants,, so I picked them up one by one and removed them. I heard a small chuckle i
A minute before I got in the car, the alarm of the whole house suddenly sounded. A van came out of the house and shot at our car."Fuck”, the driver cursed. He maneuvered it and made it run. The Scorpions in the black van that serves as our back-up was now rushing back home to meet those chasing us. I heard multiple gunshots and an explosion. Our car was already out of the villa, so the sounds of gunshots gradually died down. I sighed in relief, knowing that we survived, and I could go home alive. I turned to the car to see if anything had followed, but our backs seemed to have fixed it. After a while, the van of elite Scorpions tailed us.“Clear.” I heard the man in the van informed Marcus.I laid my head in the car seat, removing my mask and bonnet. Finally, I can sleep now. I fell asleep in the
Days had passed after when we bathed in the swimming pool. Everyone in the mansion seems to be busy with their lives and work.I heard that Tita Medly was about to die when they saw Tito Arc in his office, who had cut off two fingers. He was hospitalized too because maybe he was found for a long time, so he also lost a lot of blood. I do not regret what I did. This is just the beginning of my revenge. They just wait because I am the karma in their lives.Grayson is also handling the launch of new products from our stolen blueprints and business plans. Belle's company will surely know who stole their plans and product ideas. It may give them an answer, but they still can't hit Blast.I was currently in the living room to watch my favorite cartoons when Greyson’s car arrived. I ignored that because I was f
We arrived at the venue early, as expected. People are starting to fill the huge venue full of decorations, chairs, and tables. Some business personnel are chattering, socializing and taking this event as an opportunity to catch a big fish who will invest in their businesses. We used the route at the back of the building to avoid unnecessary attention as well as to avoid media reporters. Greyson walked me holding my waist, leading to the second floor of the building where I can see the whole venue in the first floor. The lights are located here preventing people down to not see whoever is here–on top.Greyson left for a while checking everything before this event starts, leaving me here with my own. I scan the whole area looking for familiar faces, but I can't pinpoint who they are. I'm not really a social person before that will communicate and socialize with others. Another reason is, my form
“Daddy, I want that teddy bear.” Said a small child to the man she's with. She dragged his clothes to convince him more.“Which one? The blue one or the yellow bear?”“I want black, Dad. Don't they have that?” The child asks her father innocently.“Excuse me Miss, do you have a black life-size teddy bear?” The man asked in the saleslady.“Yes sir, wait for a minute we'll just take it from the stockroom”, the girl informed them that made the small girl squealed in happiness and excitement.The saleslady came back after a few minutes carrying a huge black teddy bear. The small girl ran towards her, hugging it. I watched them as tears flowed to my eyes. I felt that I am
"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
