Stacy dropped her phone with a huge smile on her face. For the past few weeks, she has been spending lots of time with Matteo. During phone calls, some break times and early dinner. She sat on the couch, grinning like she ate a sugar pie from Grammy. It was six am and today being Sunday, she was going to stay at home. Jax came down to get something to eat but saw her grinning to herself, playing with her hair while on her nightgown.Jason nodded stylishly and shrugged as he opened the fridge slowly. She noticed his presence and anchored her hair behind her ear. "Good morning Jax" She continued with her phone, giggling. Ever since, their last encounter in Jax's room about feelings, they haven't been on good talking terms. They just greet each other and head to their respective rooms. Jax took some snacks and munched on them angrily. For some reason, he was angry seeing her happy on her phone in any of her free time. She barely notices he's around. Even during her hours in the company,
The red dotted -designed dress with an elegant neckline fitted Stacy. It hugged her boobs and revealed her perfect curves. She wouldn't stop giggling at her reflection in the huge bow-designed mirror. She blinked at herself and stood up, flaunting her diamond purse. Her neck was decorated with a diamond necklace and her ears with diamond studs. She walked out of her room and carefully down the stairs in her low heels. She heard her name and turned to see Jason with his arms crossed over his chest. A glance at him could tell how angry he is at the moment. She made to leave when Jason shut the door making her shiver in fear, he locked it and took the key. "You ain't going anywhere" he walked out on her. "I wanna attend a game night with Matteo" she yelled, but Jason continued walking up the stairs. Stacy was lost of words, her knees shivered slightly and she blinked rapidly to avoid tears rolling down her eyes. Matteo is probably waiting for her in the restaurant as they had planned. He
At a lonely hospital, a patient's fingers began to move, his closed eyes shaking slightly. A nurse came in and dropped the stuff she held to the floor, running off. She opened an office and hurriedly let out a bow. "That patient at Ward 5 Room103 is awake. He's awake! The doctor jerked up from his chair and ran together to the room. He removed his spectacles, tucking them in his coat. The man opened his eyes weakly and muttered "where am I?" He tilted his head to the window and back at them."Welcome back, Mr, it's been a long wait." The doctor smiled as he turned to the scared nurse who couldn't stop shivering.---------------Bethany giggled on her bed, throwing her legs to the ceiling. She smiled broadly immediately, the memories of meeting the white-haired guy in that building she ran into, yesterday, flashed in--------She stood there, admiring the beaut in front of her. For a long time, she has not seen someone as handsome as he is. With his calm nature and unique white hair an
The person rode behind Jason and Stacy. As usual, there was silence in the car as Stacy kept on fidgeting with her fingers. The picture she saw, has been bothering her. She could remember how Jason's countenance fell as he observed that picture. He was literally sad and it was making her uneasy for some reason. Jason was too negligent to notice the cyclist catching up to them. He calmed himself and turned to see Stacy's uneasy state and that was when his eyes caught the cyclist with a helmet, pointing a gun towards the car window beside Stacy. Stacy lifted her face to see Jason's shocked face and when she was about to follow his face's direction. He yelled "Duck"Immediately, a bullet passed through the car to the other side as they lowered their heads. Stacy shivered at the sight of the unknown, still with a gun. Jason searched for his gun and began shooting outside while the cyclist dodged professionally. He stepped on his speedometer crazily and drove past the cyclist who trailed b
Stone can be seen pacing around his room. Uneasiness was wrapped around him. His arms are clasped behind his back. He felt betrayed after hearing about Stacy as Jason's secretary. How could he do this to me? Has he been harbouring this lady all this while? Does he want to take all the wealth to himself? Are they a thing? His eyes flinched in utter shock and an abrupt movement, he turned to see Xavier standing behind him. This time it wasn't the calm Xavier but one whose countenance screamed anger and sadness. "Why him?" He mumbled. Stone stood there with a jumbled mind, his gaze fixated on him. "An order, just an order and I will end him. He can't be giving you this troub-""Silence Xavier. It's Jason! We are talking about not some random thug" he shunned Xavier who strode toward him as if he were to hit him. Tears welled at the edges of his eyes. "I'm here Stone. I'm always here. Why do I seem inconspicuous to you? You never ask me to do something of relevance but you use me as a sec
Xavier opened his eyes and got welcomed by a sharp headache. He groaned and sat down scratching his stiff nape. With bleary eyes, he scanned the room, it looked like his but there were no wallpapers. He stood up, cleaning his eyes slowly, everything looked strange. "Good morning..." He almost jumped out of his skin until he turned to see the lady who ran into him the other time, his new neighbour, Bethany. She waved awkwardly with a tray of cereals and milk sealed in a carton in her hands. Xavier squinted his eyes and darted them across the room. "Ho...w did I get here?" His eyes skirted to his shirt and he noticed that two buttons were loosen. "Did you touch m-" Bethany's eyes widened and she rushed to where he was. "No... You were sweating yesterday and I thought it right to unbutton the shirt, Not...hing happened between us" she blushed at the thought of that. Xavier squeezed his lips and Bethany's eyes followed the movement. He turned to leave when Bethany knock herself off the "b
Blaze lowered her face to the ground while Jason leaned on the wall. "And how is that my problem?" He asked coldly. She widened her eyes never expecting that statement. "Get your ass off my garage and leave my premises, we are done here" he peeled himself off the wall and was about to walk out when Blaze spoke up. "Please, the witch should be after me by now. She i...s heartless and merciless, I'm on the verge of losing my life or will lose it once caught on sight. I need your help." Her voice trembled as she explained. "I can do your chores and do everything you want" she crawled to his feet and her hair lay on his flip-flop. "Who told you that I want to keep a murderer in my custody? A murderer begging to be alive? Why don't you taste death yourself?" He kicked her off his feet making her grunt in pain."Aren't you one of us?" Jason stopped in his tracks to get what she was saying. "Seeing you fight that day gave out the fact. Also, the way you tortured me, your gun, your isolate
Jason adjusted making Alya stand upright, she apologized for being clumsy while Jason shot her a hard glare. He cleaned his shirt and sat down properly. Alya got irritated with the way he acted. "Why is he acting like I'm not a woman? Unlike some CEOs, I had met who won't hesitate to call me over for a night's stand." She grunted lowly."Meet Jeremy Miles at the end of the second floor for some documents and finalization. He will explain everything remaining" she smiled halfway, picked up her bag and left in search of Jeremy's office. Stacy blinked her eyes rapidly to avoid tears falling. The scene she saw at the office kept on replaying in her mind bringing back dead memories of Samuel her ex-lover with Alya her ex-best friend. Her head ached and she felt like going home to get proper sleep. She couldn't hold back the tears, their overpowered her and kept falling. Later on, She took a deep breath, cleaned her face and took out the document to submit in Jason's office. On getting th
Edna looked down, checking the distance from where she stood to the ground for a proper escape. Turning frantically, she aimed her gun at Jason again, making sure he doesn't move. Sirens could be heard from afar. Edna's eyes bulged. "You called the cops on me? You!" She shot toward Jason and jumped off the rooftop. Jason made to run after her when Stacy hugged him, holding him back. "Please, don't. Don't chase after her." Her voice cracked. Jason lowered his face to her in awe. "You want her to escape? She's a Mafian queen!""And my mom... Please."Jason stared at her dumbstruck, panting. He swallowed nothing and slid his gaze to see Edna, igniting her car engine to escape. As she drove off, two police cars chased after her. Stacy lowered her face in sadness and disengaged from Jason. She sat down and began sobbing. Jason got to her and cleaned off her face. He dragged her closer, tapping her back gently. Then, an outburst of tears came from her. *************Blaze and Bethany were r
The lady and the men got up to Xavier."Cease him." Being able to do nothing, the men yanked him off the ground. "Look for the old man." Two men ran out but crashed on the floor after a series of gunshots. It was the police, Jason had called the police earlier on, using a telephone booth."Your hands in the air!" They commanded and all of them surrendered, an ambulance arrived shortly and Blaze, alongside Bethany was moved in by the medics. Mr Torres came out from his hiding place, and an eerie chill slid through his veins accompanied by goosebumps crawling over his flesh.All the men were handcuffed and pushed into the truck. The lady looked irritated, while thinking on how to communicate to Edna.***************Jason came down to see some men guarding Amor house. On stealthy footsteps, he got off the truck to them. Guarding their visual rears tightly, Jason scouted for some openings through their defence. "This might work" He nodded as he stepped back to restrategize. An empty ca
Jason held the man's legs and ended up slamming him on the floor, causing his head to hit hard. The other man was on Xavier, Jason walked up to him and pulled him away by gripping his hair, giving Xavier the chance to punch him fiercely in his face. He held his face and staggered back, two other men ran in. The two brothers came together, their backs against each other with readied fists.******************Bethany threw a stone across, the men got distracted and one of them followed the sound of the stone while the other kept guarding the door. She shut her eyes in disappointment and balled her tender fists. Sucking in her breath, she mistakenly stepped on an empty plastic bottle which generated noise. The man tilted in that direction and strode to where she was. Before he could get there, She ran out but he saw her and angrily increased his pace.As she ran, the man chased after her. Her heart thumped crazily. Finding her way back to Xavier and Jason, she could see the other man gr
FEW PEACEFUL DAYS LATERA round fancy table full of different delicacies and drinks was surrounded by them. A party, at Amor House. The weather was already dim and it was a little windy. It was a celebration of Jason and Stacy's engagement and Mr. Torres's comeback. Everyone was happy, eating, drinking and sharing stories. Bethany, Xavier, Mr Torres, Stacy, Jason and Blaze all had beautiful smiles on their faces but as you know happiness can disappear in a flick of your fingers.The door came down to reveal a lady, standing with a sinister grin, dressed in fitted leather black trousers with black sneakers. She had different piercing filled with black studs and dangling earrings. Her hair was packed in a ponytail, with dark shades shoved into the upper part. Her black huge leather jacket sat upon a black crop top. Everything on her was as black as the devil's soul."Rich!" She called happily"Mom...?" Stacy dropped her fork and her jaw dropped."Witch?" Blaze's eyes dilated, she couldn
"Dad!" Stacy couldn't believe it. The corner of Jason's eyes crinkled as he watched the two. Doctor Axel stood there with a smile on his face.Seeing the confusion on Jason's face, Axel eased the situation for him. "He's Mr Torres, my patient, but wait, is that Stacy? Stacy Torres?" He asked surprised. Everything became clear to Jason, he stared at the two as they hugged and tears flooded Stacy's eyes.*******Stacy and her dad sat in the hospital's waiting room. They have been discussing a lot of things until he noticed the beautiful ring on her finger. Stacy saw how her dad gazed at the ring and flaunted it at him with a wide smile."It's an engagement ring, I got engaged today!""Really?""Yes." Her cheeks flushed at her pronouncement. She darted her gaze to Jason and her dad slowly followed her. "Is that him?"Stacy nodded and her dad averted his gaze to her, who was still dreamily staring at Jason answering a call. He turned to their direction and raised his brow at her, making
Jeremy was jogging delightfully, his pods plugged into his ears, he was experiencing this happiness he couldn't fathom until he saw Alya, coming in the opposite direction. When they got close enough to greet themselves, he brushed by her without a backward glance. Alya paused and turned with disbelieving eyes. "Did he just pass me without saying hi?" She asked rhetorically, her brows hung up. She gasped and continued her jogging with a perturbed mind. Jeremy exhaled feeling so relieved that he could pass without saying anything. "I pulled it off." He smiled and hastened his steps to prepare for today's work.At the company, he met Bethany smiling nonstop as she listened to her music with an earpod. "Good morning Beth!" He greeted and she quickly lowered her music volume. "What's up, Jerry?" He squinted his eyes and folded his arms. Curiously filling his veins."I should be asking you that, you are incredibly happy." She blushed at the statement. "Well, I am. So... What about the lad
Jason pulled out a chair and sat down, facing his laptop. He dug his hands into his pocket to take out a flash drive. Staring blankly at it and turning it around his fingers, he inserted it into the laptop. It was the video of the day, Crystal died. How did he get the video?FLASHBACKWhile on the ground, groaning at the pain he was feeling, he saw a clip laying on the floor. The clip was a few inches away from Stone's leg. Jason crawled and got up to his leg. He gripped it when Stone made to run in and stylishly dragged the clip as well as sand and dirt into his fist."Don't go in, we are not done yet." He said. Stone kicked away his grip and ran into his office while he lowered his face to the ground so tired and relieved.***********It began to display on the screen but a scene he wasn't shown then, popped up first. It turned out the clip was shortened before. Dark under the tunnel was a man, who pulled the trigger and shot the same time Jason had shot. The plan was to make a vid
The harshness of the light had him blinking, Xavier darted his weak eyes to see a white bedsheet up above his chest. Wide-eyed, he shifted and yanked it off him. An IV needle was stuck into his wrist... And then he finally realised he was on a hospital bed in a ward. His lid lowered and he saw a head resting beside the bed. He blinked several times, trying to remember what happened before now until Bethany raised her face and drifted into a gentle smile. "You are awake." She yawned and leaned forward while he moved backwards. He shut his eyes and exhaled. "How long have I been here?""A night.""A night... and you didn't sleep here, did you?" He said this lowering his legs to the floor. Bethany ignored the question, of course, she slept. She stood up to leave and call a doctor when he gripped her hand. "Who brought me here?"She scratched her nape nervously, attempting to find words to reply. "Your brother did..." He loosened his grip, unsure of the emotions that ran through him,
Jason made his way across the room, his eyes shooting lasers. Some men ran inside to stop him but got shot before they could even get to him. Where is Stacy? "Matteo?" She looked into his eyes, unsure of what to feel. Happy? Or Scared? She leaned back to the wall, her gaze on the floor. He watched how her countenance changed and scoffed. Then his eyes moved from her face to her injured spots including her sole. He blinked and loomed over her, carrying her in a bridal style. "Oh." She mouthed and nervously tilted her face to Matteo whose face was strangely calm. "Hold my neck, so you won't fall." She bobbed her head and off they went.****************A man groaned and rolled off the ground. Stone's men backed away as they saw the man lying motionless, wondering if he was dead. They lifted their faces to see Blaze and other men behind her. She smirked and cracked her knuckles. "Guys, let's kick their ass'es." She told them, charging toward Stone's men with Matteo's men.Blaze launche
