Giovanni? It should be him, or someone who left something here on this floor. I hope this person is true now.

However, my mind's saying and hoping that person to be him, to be Giovanni.

"Hey? Is there someone out there? Please help me! I have been locked up here in the stock room! Help! Hello? Please! Take me out of here!" I did all my best to make that a best shot and take the attention of whoever that person was.

I clearly heard footsteps so there must be someone. It took a few minutes but there was no response, I was losing control until I could not take it anymore and cried. I bit my lips to suppress the noise I was making. In the end, I am still that little girl, Ariadne who was fond of tears, who liked crying whenever she was hurt. I thought because of the things that happened to me, I can manage to have the courage to fight these tears and not let other people see my weak side anymore. I had been through many experiences that can make me strong but still, I remained a crybaby.

    "Ariadne, are you still awake? Don't panic. We will get you out of there. Please step away for a moment." I thought he had not come back yet. Giovanni did not even say a word to me after a while of waiting for Manong Evan and I thought he just left me here. I can't do anything just to sit here and wait. Because I know they will come and save me. I need to trust them this time."Thank you, Manong Evan." I said before following what he said. I don't know if Giovanni is still here, but I hope he was.After I walked away from the door, I heard a banging sound outside of the stock room, he was already breaking the chain. I can hear the sound of it. Who is the person who needs to lock me here? I waited until the chain broke successfully, and as soon as the door opened I saw his face. Giovanni's face who was just waiting for what would happen. The moment I got released, I can't help but to have teary eyes once again. I thought I would stay inside until tomorrow."You are safe now." Giovanni

    "N-no…" I said and bit my lips. I saw his eyes, his beautiful eyes looking all over my face. He can now see my sacred face. I gulped when I saw his cold stare at me, I can't look directly at him, I just can't take it. I can now feel his breath, we are so close to each other. And it's making me conscious about how he see me now. It's so close that my eyes can see his whole face. How can be this man don't have pores? He is making me jealous about his skin. It was white and clear. Even me, a girl will be insecure about how I look when I am with him. He was just a beautiful man.Before my mind could fly away and be taken by this demon. I tried my best to pull myself up. He immediately supported my back. I clean my clothes using my hands without taking a glance at him. I know he is still looking at me. "Are you afraid?" He asked. He was still holding the gun. I shook my head. "No." I said with confidence and raised my head to meet his gaze. He smirked, of course, he knew that I was lying

    My feet froze as I couldn't move my body. I thought I already felt most of it earlier, but there is something more than that. That fear was nothing more than now. "I finally got a chance to see you this close, woman." I tried my best to step forward, but I couldn't. There is a long wound in his eyes, and it was a cross wound and it nearly damaged his eyesight, it left a scar that made him more scary. He started walking towards me. I can't do anything to run away, as if I am paralyzed by his stare. Why is this happening to me? Why does my life need to be this cruel? "W-who…who a-are you?" I asked with all the courage left in me. I really don't want to hear his voice but I want to take some time asking him anything so he could not kill me right away. That was just the best thing I could think of right now. "I am no one but a lesson for him." Him? Is he referring to Giovanni? If yes, I am not a thing for him! Why do they want me?"W-who…who a-are you talking a-about?" I remained aski

    "You never cared for my feelings, didn't you?" She asked me once I was done closing the door. I smiled awkwardly to show her that I am fine, but that doesn't change her expression. She started walking towards me, slowly getting closer. I can hear her breath, I know she's pulling herself back to a calmer one. She will question me, of course, but before doing that I might be disable. She stopped in front of me so that I can now clearly see her face. Even though she was mad, her face was still that pretty one that every man would fall for."What did he do to you? Your boss? Is he even letting you eat? Or giving you some time to rest? Look at the clock, it's already time to rest and get your strength back for tomorrow but here you are, still working at this kind of time. Are you still a human? You did not sign for this. I told you, if you were having a problem with your work just stop, I can handle the bills, I am working. I can't just let you stress yourself in that kind of environment wh

    I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I did not get the chance to stop it last night as I was so sleepy after eating. When I looked at the wall clock, it's still 8am in the morning. I hoped to have more sleep since it's my day off today, but then I remembered that Haria wants to spend this whole day with me so I must get up and do my morning routines.Once I was done, I went downstairs and saw Haria preparing breakfast for us. "Good morning! I thought you would wake up at lunch time, however I cooked for breakfast. Let's go and eat!" She greeted me. I walked towards her and gave her a peck on the cheeks, then sat in front of her. "Where's Gray?" I asked. I can't see him here. "He went out early for his work. You know what? He has been telling me about someone they were trying to have a business proposal with. You know his father is a businessman right? And he wants to help him for that matter sinde his father is skeptical on meeting the business partner. He told us he is not just a nor

    "Finally! We are here!" Haria stretched her arms once we got out of the car.I smiled while inhaling the fresh air. I guess we are lucky because there are no people here yet, we will have the time to go everywhere without anyone. "There are no guests yet? Cool, we can have the whole place alone for a while." Haria said and opened the door on the backseat. I helped her take our bags and then we both went to the entrance. But before we could finally get inside, the guard stopped us."Why?" Haria asked, her eyebrows lifted above since the guard suddenly went to block us."I am sorry ladies, but the whole resort has been reserved for today. We are not accepting any guests now. Please just come back tomorrow." The guard told us. Shoot. I did not think about that, that's why there are no people here yet. It was reserved."Oh, okay. We will just go back—" I got cutted by Haria when she stomped her feet on the ground, which made the guard look at her with horror on his face."No!" She yelled.

    I don't know what my face looks like right now, but I am sure it's not good. Instead of having a one day, or maybe a half day of vacation and rest yet I saw him again. For sure he will tell me to work for him since I am already here. What a day. Why do I need to always bump into this man? Is this really a curse for me? What did I do wrong in the first place?I sighed and followed him as he said. Gray and Haria went directly to the hotel to tell her where we will stay for a while. While Giovanni kept on the wall, I didn't know where he was planning to go. I just followed him until we reached one door. What will we do here? I asked myself. I am not familiar with this place and we passed so many ways and turns until here.When he opened the door. I saw many figurines above the table and they were all made of gold! How can these things be placed here? They can be stolen by a thief. Maybe I am one of them. I smiled because of my thoughts, I am being a bad woman because of these beautiful t

    "Beautiful ladies!" Haria and I turner around once we heard Gray's voice. He was smiling while walking towards us, wearing only trunks. Haria smiled as she saw him with that. She loves seeing his body of course, well Gray has a toned body but compared to Giovanni which I saw the first time we met, he has a body of a Go—wait, what am I even thinking? I almost dropped my jaw when I saw Giovanni on Gray's back, and he was wearing the same. And he was walking like a model, while looking directly at me. What is he looking for huh?"Look, Giovanni will also join us! Let's go!" Gray then ran towards the beach, Haria smiled meaningfully at me before following her boyfriend. "I guess this is a double date?" She whispered before leaving me.I gulped before turning to Giovanni again. He still has that cold stare, but now he looked so relaxed. "Why are you still standing there?" He asked before passing to me. I closed my eyes because of the embarrassment and ran to follow them.When I finally re

    "Stop imagining things," Nix said. Alyana gave him a frown. It's been 30 minutes since they last talked to each other, and they were already in the living area watching movies. After she asked the question a while ago, Nix just left her standing there."You are creepy," she said to Nix."What?""You are suddenly saying something there, it's creepy." Alyana took the blanket to cover herself."Are you saying your boss is creepy?" Nix asked, making Alyana immediately look at him."No sir," she quickly said and focused herself on what they were watching. She then heard Nix sighed beside her so she took a glance at him.'Is he sleepy? Or he just really had many problems in life?'' she thought."Do you like what you are seeing?" Nix asked her, she didn't realize that she's already staring at his face. "No sir," she said, however, it made Nix glare at her. How dare she say that to her boss. "Really?" Nix asked and slowly went near her. She closes her eyes, and shakes her head."No sir."Ni

    "I already told you, Pebble is just my friend." A man who was in a tuxedo said while entering the office. He looked at the two people inside the room and smiled at them before putting the phone beside his ear again. "I will just call you later baby, don't forget to wear the dress I bought you for tonight. Yes, yes I will surely be early so be prepared," he added while grinning."Stop talking about your women when you are already in my office." Nix straightly said."Whoa, whoa, you are so hot headed. What happened to you bro? I just got back from seeing those ugly faces and you will welcome me with that attitude? How could you?" Zach, who had just entered the room, said while putting down the suitcase he was holding. "The files." Nix lends his hand to him, waiting for something nice he could give. Zach smirked at him and took something in the case, then gave him the papers he was asking. Zach's attention diverted to the girl who was busy scanning some papers and poked her using the pe

    "He hasn't woken up yet? Is what happened to him really that horrible that he hasn't woken up until now?" Jake inquired as they entered the room where the man they had discovered in the woods the day before lay. It's also been two days since they discovered this man unconscious, and he hasn't awoken yet. His wounds have healed, and he is recovering slowly."It seems that the bed is too soft so he just chose to sleep for a long time rather than answer the questions we prepared for him." Hunter was still joking while reading a book. He grinned and looked at everyone in the room. Their boss' three daughters are complete. Steel is also there, taking a glimpse at Ivory when he has the opportunity.'Tsk. It's really obvious if this man likes a woman, but he is so afraid to face Ivy's blow. Maybe, Ivy doesn't want that kind of man like him so until now she's still refusing his love. He is strong outside however, he's really a coward. If I were a woman I wouldn't even want to be with him too,

    Andrius smirked as he saw his daughters return from their search for their belongings. He realizes they are perplexed by what he is doing, but he believes it will benefit his girls in the future. He had considered taking them to the location they desired while they were still in his office, but after hearing the plan, he decided a thing that he was the only one who knew and that was to put them to the test.Vanessa sat next to him on a rock, breathless and barely able to communicate due to exhaustion. Next to her are Andrius' other two daughters, whose expressions now demand an explanation."We knew it, but why did you keep it hidden?" Ashleigh said to Andrius, who chuckled when he heard it."Dear daughters," he said, motioning them to sit on the grass first, which they did. "I am curious to see if you will return once you realize I am the one who is behind it, but I notice you still tried to find it on your own," Andrius explained. Despite their confusion, the triplets pay attention

    "Try to hurt him more and I will rip your head out of your body." Hunter, even though he is in pain, still heard what Ashleigh said. Her eyes glaring at the man holding Hunter's neck. "Really? You will do that?" The tension between all of them began to rise more as he tightened it, causing Hunter to spit some blood on his mouth. "S-Stop…" he can't even speak properly, his eyes began to wet and his vision was now a bit blurry. "I-I can't b-breathe!" He tried to yell but it seemed like his voice was now out of his control. Demon, it's the true demon, he thought. He is now under the strength of a ruthless demon in the place."Your fear, ugh. I can feel it, I know you are born for me. Your soul, I want it mine. You are making me stronger, I think I need to thank you for that."One thing he is not sure about is when he saw his teeth turning into an odd one. The structure of his face started changing too. That was the thing that most terrified Hunter more. One more tight grip, he can b

    I hope they will find Echo's mother.My attention got diverted when I heard a knock from the door. It quickly opened and there I saw my sisters faces, along with Steel and Hunter, but I am confused why Dominus isn't with them, also as Jake but that person can sometimes be busy."Are you feeling well? Dr. Nigel already told us what the problem is with you too." Ashleigh asked me once they went inside, she sat beside me while looking at Echo. "I am just fine. I want to go with you on finding his mother but Dr. Nigel told me not to. He has only 2 days and the poison will definitely take his life." She was nodding her head when she took my hand and held it. I saw a small hole in it, maybe it's from the needle they used when she got taken some blood from her body to give to me. "Don't worry, we will do our best to find her. All you need to do now is to rest and be safe. Also, follow all what Nigel will tell you. It's for your own good, understand?" I chuckled because of it. She is now a

    "He woke up earlier and he was looking for you, especially his mother but it didn't last for five minutes and he slept again. There is something we need to take out of his skin. It needs an operation, but we can't do that here. We need his parents to take responsibility." Dr. Nigel said to me once I reached the medical department, Dominus guided me to one of the rooms where Echo was admitted, after that he left the room, saying that he will look for Hunter. I just let him though, I don't have a reason not to.Echo is still unconscious, I don't know what's happening to him and needs Dr. Nigel's explanation."And I found out this." He showed me the result of something, then there I saw my name. Why is my name here? I didn't do any tests for me, I can't remember it."What does this mean?" I asked, confused by what he was trying to say to me about the results. He sighed before telling me the thing I didn't expect."Your blood contains a poison, same as Echo but he is more likely to lead a

    An unfamiliar voice asked behind us. I decided not to turn around as I can feel a threat in their presence. It was that person, or maybe them whom I felt earlier. And I am sure they are like me. "Oh, the three guards. We saw each other again." Vanessa said in response to them. Did they know those guys? How and where? Maybe because they are part of this organization, their opponent. But do they know their real identity?"It's you." One of them spoke, he had a deep voice compared to the one who asked first. "I won't forget what you did to us the first time we met each other. However, it's your lucky day since we aren't here to fight any Dark Phoenix but we will promise to make you pay for what you have done when we see each other again." He continued, I kept my back to them. If I show my face, will they know or recognize me? I guess not but I need to be sure. I know there are many people hunting me now. They need to take me back to that place. But I don't want that to happen, so I need
