Third person’s point of view
When Maddox arrived at the hospital, he ran straight to his parents, who were in the operating room. Maddox and Lowe were merely waiting outside at the OR, praying that their parents will be saved from the on-going operation. Four hours later, two doctors came out of the operating room. The two walked toward the doctor with a sympathetic expression. “I’m sorry, we did everything we could to save the patient. Your mother has a traumatic brain injury. Severe head injuries from the force of a car accident caused your mother to suffer brain trauma, which may have resulted in fatal outcomes, and she did not make it.” The doctor explained. Maddox expression hardened when he heard what the doctor said, he’s palms curled into fists, his knuckles shifting white. “What about my father?” Lowe is the one who asks the doctor since Maddox can’t seem to restrain his anger and is about to launch a punch at the doctor. The doctor went on to say. “Your father has died due to exsanguination, it indicates that he suffered a significant loss of blood that was essentially fatal. That’s a bit late for him when you were all able to bring him in.” Maddox couldn't take it anymore and rushed the doctor with a punch. “How dare you say that? You’re a doctor, right? You should be doing everything just to bring them back to life, yet you have the guts to blame it on us.” Maddox spits at the doctor, his eyes burning with flame. Lowe stopped him just as he was ready to go to the doctor again. “Bro, calm down. Kenzie and our cousins are coming!” Lowe grumbles in frustration, unable to stop Maddox from going ballistic. The doctor apologized again, turned out of sight of them, and went into the next room. Maddox sat on the floor not knowing what to do. He can’t believe his parents are really gone. It just doesn’t feel real to him. He kept thinking about what he wished to say and the concerns he had asked about. He seems to have an empty space in his life right now. Lowe’s nose flared. “The things that used to bring me comfort now leave me lifeless. It’s like I’m going along with the movements, but I’m not really here,” he said, clinching his jaw while standing in front of Maddox. “We might never fully recover from losing Mom and Dad, yet I hope we will find some comfort in knowing how deeply they love us and how grateful we are to have them,” Lowe stated, staring at Maddox with shed tears in his eyes. “Come on, get up. We have something entertaining to do.” Lowe nudged Maddox. Maddox is still thinking about their parents. In general, he’s thinking that might be the ideal plan of action, considering Sullivan, Maddox’s cousin, despises Finn Dixon just as much as they do. They have attempted to take down Finn Dixon for quite some time, but they have been unable to do so due to his numerous government accomplices as well as the illegal activities they execute. They need to gather all of the information about Finn Dixon so that they can use it against him. That includes his niece, Sariel, who has become one of his accomplices. "Kuya!" They all turned as their sisters whimpered. She hurried up to Maddox and held her, weeping on his shoulder as he held her. He hugs his sister back, knowing she is the closest to their parents. Aster’s the one who will suffer the most among their siblings since she is more used to spending time with their parents.He caresses her back, assuring her that everything is going to be fine. Even Maddox himself is at a loss for where he should start. Maddox's cousins and their other siblings arrived and left her with them because they were going on a mission 'supposedly'. They have two goals to accomplish. Finn Dixon will die. His niece will pay for everything. Finn and Sariel, on the other hand, were throwing words one at a time. "Uncle, it was not part of the entire discussion. Why do you have to crash into their car?!" Sariel was on the verge of panic when his uncle’s speeding the car and suddenly halted it, making the tightness in her chest ease. “Shut the hell up! The Ventura’s siblings are chasing after us while we are chasing their parents car, what do you want me to do, then?” Finn’s barks back at Sariel’s face. "It's your mistake to be huh, Maddox, and only the business he runs is what we should destroy; why do you have to involve his parents?" Sariel hissed. Finn’s jaw clenched. “They are the Ventura’s parents, Do you think they will do nothing to prevent us from destroying their company?” Sariel’s mouth snapped shut. “What if Maddox’s parents is dead? What are we going to do?” Sariel asked her uncle nervously. Anger shines in Finn’s eyes as he gaze at Sariel’s face, tears shimmers in her eyes. Finn’s spits at Sariel. “This is not my problem to deal with. Get out of the car, now!” Sariel’s jaw dropped. “You’re going to leave me here in the midst of nowhere?” Sariel asks, batting her eyelashes. “In the count of three, if you’re not out in my car, I’m going to shove you out myself, I swear to the devil,” Finn’s warns. Releasing a shaky breath, Sariel carefully took steps out of the car. The quicker she moved, the quicker she could get the hell out of there. When she stepped out of her uncle's vehicle, Finn drove it away from Sariel. When she sets aside to make her way to the side, the SUV abruptly stops in front of her, and someone grabs her inside, abducting her. Tears hit Sariel's eyes, but she wiped them away. She did not protest because she hadn't come to have the strength following today's incident.Third person's point of view Sariel's heart began to pound in her chest as fear poured through her bloodstream. “Sariel.” Maddox’s powerful voice rings across the car. “Do you know that my parents are as cold as icebergs right now? It’s all because of you and your uncle, hmm?” Sariel tried to regain her composure and take another deep breath, but all she could see is pure red as she closed her eyes tightly. “I- didn’t… That’s what my uncle’s all idea, I had nothing to do with what happened,” Sariel’s murmurs under her breathing. “The hell you’re talking? You’re with him inside the car, you could have stopped him but you didn't!” Maddox’s thunderous voice swirls again. He doesn't care if the girl he's yelling at right now is the same person he once cherished. Their parents died because of this woman. “For the fact that I don’t have to make any freaking choice! He actually held captive my mother,” Sariel spats, her nostrils flaring. Maddox’s nose wrinkled, and he chewed on
Third person’s point of view “Well, too late to explain. The damage has done. You can kiss my baby for me, come on.” Maddox teases her. “Don’t come near me... Please,” Sariel begged Maddox. As he sees the terrified girl he once loved, he seems to enjoy knowing that his simple punishment is effective. Maddox’s so enraged that it’s as if all memories of the two of them together have vanished from his mind, and what he sees in front of him right now is a total stranger. He ends up being pretty close to Sariel. When Maddox allows the ball python to creep around her shoulder, Sariel freezes. Maddox can't tell if she is still breathing because all he can see on Sariel's face is how scared she is and how much she wants to get rid of Maddox's pet. "Please… take it off. I'm begging you, Maddy. I can't breathe,” Sariel begs again, her breasts rising as if she is really struggling to breathe. When Maddox heard someone pounding on the bedroom door, he instantly grabbed his pet ball
Third person’s point of view “Maddox’s girlfriend happened.” “Girlfriend—what? Bro doesn’t have a girlfriend.” Lowe giggles at what Sariel just said. “He’s a crazy asshole,” Sariel mumbled with a scowl as she stood up, but because she's still dizzy, she almost fell. But before she could fall, a pair of strong arms came up behind her to keep her standing. “Hey, what really happened?” Sariel shrugged her shoulders. After Lowe escorted her to her bed, she took a seat. As she gazed around the room, Sariel asked Lowe. “Wait, whose room is this?” “Oh, it’s Reinn’s.” Lowe grinned at his answer to Sariel. “Reinn? Who’s Reinn?” Sariel asked, confused. If he is in a relationship with another woman, why did he invite her to her room? But he just said he didn’t have a girlfriend. "You don't remember the one Kuya brought to your room earlier?" Sariel got even more confused by Lowe’s disjointed answers, adding to her dizziness. She picked up a pillow and threw it at Lowe. “Damn it, be str
Maddox's point of view My brother Marlowe and I are here today at Jungle K to follow our sister because she is with her boyfriend, whom I don't want her to be with. It's simple: He looks like an addict. "Kuya, we've been around for a while now. They're gone. Let's just leave them alone," Lowe sneered at me. I glared at him because he had been complaining for a while. "Don't talk; just open your eyes and find where the f*ck they are." I heard someone giggling. Lowe must have heard it too, so we both look around to see if there's anyone else here besides us. I noticed someone's head with bunny ears not far away, so we walked carefully to ensure she wouldn't notice us. We moved to the other side; her back was to us. I think she is counting before she will peek to see where we were a minute ago. "Where did they go?" she murmurs. She looks stupid, though. Is she a spy? Well, I wouldn't know unless I asked her. "What are you doing?" I asks. When she turned to face us, the corners of
Sariel's point of view "I'm just going to the restroom; I'll be right back," I said to them and turned to smile at Maddy. I don't know how lighthearted I feel towards them, even though they look like ninjas who seem to be doing animal hunting at Jungle K. I was on the verge of yelling at him earlier, but I was so shocked that I couldn't finish my sentence. His presence commands attention without uttering a word; that's why I was speechless earlier. It's like his piercing gray eyes are absorbing me. A hint of stubble shadows in his rugged jawline makes me want to run my fingers over it and feel a tickle. Errr. I'm so happy that he granted my request that, if possible, we come here to the ice cream parlor. I haven't had the chance to indulge in ice cream for a long time, but now is the perfect time. If my best friend hadn't invited me out, I would never have gone out. But I'm still annoyed. Look at this; they didn't even look for me when I disappeared from their sight. But it's
Maddox's point of view "What are we going to do now, Maddy?" Lowe taunted me. "Shut up! Or else I'll shove you out of this car." Sneering, I glared directly at him like a ninja turtle, ready to slash his throat. "Oh, calm down, Maddy, calm down. Don't give me a reason to get close to you? Oh, calm down, can you relax?" He peers at me with a smirk. I'm not sure what he's singing about, but he keeps using the nickname that Sariel gave me. "Just one smile for me, and I'll come close to you. And while the Vodka hits, you get even more intense." Damn. He's so totally dumbheaded. Whenever I'm with him, I feel like I'll burst out of my body from sheer irritation. "Don't be too aggressive; I can't say no. And I don't care if anyone sees; this won't happen again; I won't let it end without you coming home with me. So, when Sariel makes a move, it's so smooth, so bad. Look at her move; she attacks like a fighter—" When I heard Sariel's name, I abruptly halted the car at the side of
Maddox's point of view "What the hell?" The corners of my eyes widen. "Surprise? Let's go horseback riding," Lowe nudges me. "Are you an idiot? We have a serious threat to face tomorrow, and you want to go horseback riding?" I snapped, giving him a dirty look. "Chill, man. I'll help you tomorrow, and if things go wrong, all we have to do now is freaking ride a horse." He chuckles and puts his hands on the girl's shoulder. He's known Sunny for a long time because of the horse racing events we always attend. Well, we also have our own private haven for horseback riding, because my siblings and I really love horses. He often brings Sunny there. So, what can I say? "How did she end up here?" I inquire, indicating this to Sunny. "Oh, I already texted her to come here while Dad discussed the tea," he exclaimed. I gave him a stern look and said, "What the hell is tea? Do you think it's some kind of joke?" He burst out laughing. Is that supposed to be funny? "Nah. By the way, I think
Sariel's point of view "Behave yourselves; otherwise, you'll have to deal with me if you cause trouble for my best friend. Meli threatened them, saying, "I will really kick you out of the house." I laughed at her threat. My best friend really loves me. "Easy, cousin. We didn't come here to cause trouble," said a man wearing a V-neck shirt, raising his hands. Another man wore a round-necked shirt. The two women wore crop tops. "We're just here to invite you to go horseback riding at your rest house," said the man in the V-neck shirt again. "Don't you know how hyper these two get? They're totally up for it," he said, pointing at the two girls and wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead. The girl in the white crop top, who was munching on a lollipop, looked at me. She took the lollipops out of her mouth and smiled at me. I smiled back. Meli glanced at me and shook her head. "Come on in, before I change my mind and kick you out right now," Meli snaps, annoyed with them. "Gosh, yo
