The door made a noise as I opened it. Martini's grinning face greeted me like I was the one he's been waiting for hours, and that I made his day by just appearing in front of him. "You never disappoint me, Jada. It's been almost a month, seems like you've been well taken care of that Coleman huh." I can hint a bitterness at his voice and of course, I'm not Jada Young if I'll let him win on this argument. "Of course he did, he wasn't like someone else I knew who hurt women, physically." Emphasizing the last word, his smile quickly faded. "Seems like Jada Young is back?" "Why don't you just cut this long introduction of yours and just get exactly to the point of what will bound to happen today?" "Right, let's talk about that since the meeting will start in five minutes." "Jera will show up later at the meeting." He added, making me surprise a bit. I thought she don't want to show up in public yet as she still wants to clean her name first. "Why?" "We're running out of time
Before I could even react, she inserted the flash drive into the laptop and a familiar scene reflected on the large LED Screen.It was the day, a business meeting where Achilles and I met again at the Coleman Empire, the scene was when we were in the elevator after the meeting. I remembered, that I was talking to Amari on the phone that time then Achilles asked me without even looking at me, but since it was only the two of us in the elevator it is pretty obvious that he was talking to me, in a serious manner because he definitely asked if Amari was Martini’s son, not his, that time.“You were talking in the elevator, and based on this you seemed to know each other when you acted like a stranger during meetings,” Natalia commented.“Unfortunately we couldn’t hear their conversation but here’s another one.” She then flashed another footage on the screen.“After their encounter, a CCTV caught Mr.Coleman, talking to his men on the Coleman Empire rooftop, his men were carrying large bags,
But Natalia just chuckled in return. “In one split second, I’m on the hot seat now when it's supposed to be that girl right?” Drake Spencer wasn’t able to reply as Martini pulled me up, bringing all the attention back to us again. “Like what Spencer said, Jada has the right to leave this room until you could shove on my face an arrest for her investigation.” Martini coldly uttered before he dragged me with him out of that place. I didn’t bother to speak when we used his car. But when we’re finally distant from the Cooper Corporation, I finally gathered the strength to do it. “What happened?” “I thought Jera will show up today?” I added. “She said, no.”He plainly replied. “What do you mean? I thought that’s the only thing we could…” “I don’t know either Jada! I was surprised as well!” He exclaimed making me shut my mouth. Was he furious at me? No, he was mad at what happened. Because like what I’ve said, we didn’t see it coming. “The only thing I knew is that Miss J was in da
The suffocating feeling made me back to my senses, and I slowly opened my eyes. Darkness succumbs to my vision. Where am I?I tried to remember what happened. And the last thing I remembered was I was in front of the man with the same face as Achilles, trapped in between his arms.I have a twin brother, Jada. Those are the six words that were written on the black envelope that Achilles gave me. I was shocked to know about it, though I’ve been brushing off the idea out of my mind as it kept knocking because I think it’s impossible since I know Achilles was an only child.Nevertheless, everything starts making sense now.He was that man whom Natalia was with when Trinity and I saw them first together. It also explains how Achilles denies his rumored relationship with Natalia to me, and the scene I caught them in his Coleman Empire where he kept pushing the woman away. The only thing that keeps them tied is Achilles' twin, and that man was connected to Natalia. Or better to say, he was
“Leave my son alone!”“Just be a good girl sweety, and everything will be fine.”I hope Achilles won’t leave my son alone.“Where the f*ck are you taking me?” I growled when she started untying the rope in my hands.“A new home?” She shot back as she chuckled evilly.Two more men wearing a black mask helps her take me out of the room. I didn’t fight anymore, my strength was nothing over this two assh*le. They put a blind mask on me before they dragged me out of the house, and push me into a cushion that wasn’t too soft.When I heard the door of a car closed, that’s when I noticed that we were inside a car and they were taking me somewhere.“If Achilles still finds you then consider yourself a lucky one,” Natalia commented, I bet she was in the passenger seat.“F*ck you!” I grunted.“Shut up.” A baritone voice menaced followed by a quick rush of pain that dashed into my system as he punch me in my stomach making me curl up and twist on the seat. I was still blindfolded and I’m having a
The moon hides beneath the dark clouds, despite how distant it was from me, it was still bright enough to shed a light in this dark room. A week had passed and this has been my night routine, watch the moon above, as I wait for something I don’t know what, or who. Should I still hope that someone will get me out of here? As much as I wanted Achilles to save me, a part of me wanted him to stay beside our son.When Ares told me that Jera and Martini were just using me, I wasn’t surprised anymore. But to be honest, I was still hurt. I was trying to give them room for trust and forgiveness, it hasn’t formed yet but has already collapsed again.I miss Amari. I miss how my son greets me every morning with his gentle tiny voice and kisses me on my cheeks. I miss how innocent looking he is and looks stress-free from this cruel world. And Achilles, I hope he took this opportunity of being with Amari to tell our son that he was his father. I’m sure it won’t be that hard for Amari, Achilles has
Achilles watched Amari play on the sofa with his toys.“Uncle Achi, when will be mom here? I missed her so much. ” His son asked holding the car toy in his left hand.The man carried his son and make him seated beside him.“She will be here soon. She has to fix something there so we have to wait a little more time okay?” The man tried to convince his son again, but since they landed in the country, Amari kept asking about his mom. And even him doesn’t know how to answer that question, the woman wasn’t calling him, and he tried to call her on her phone but the number can’t contact him anymore. He thinks that the woman replaces her phone number so he can’t contact her anymore.No matter how he wanted to get back to Russia and help Jada fix everything, he can’t trust anyone to guard his son. He can’t let repeat what happened before when Jada and he went out and charged his men for his son. Besides, Jada trusted him to take care of Amari.“Dad is that mom?” Achilles gaze quickly shifted f
“The defendant was a 20-year-old Filipino-Russian, was charged with homicide for the bombing in the city of Moscow and a few cities in Russia, resulting to a massive damage in properties, and death of 1,023 Russian people.”“How do you plead?” The judge asked as he glance at me. I could feel all my sweat on my forehead despite the fully-airconditioned room. But I don’t think it’s the temperature that’s keeping me pressured but the people on the right corner of the courtroom, who looks furious towards me. Their eyes were visibly full of hatred like they wanted to skin me alive, and I can’t blame them. They were a victim of false information and I know the wound was still fresh when they lost their loved ones.My eyes then shifted to the left corner of the courtroom. A pang of pain strikes my chest seeing no one was believing that I’m innocent, even Jera and Martini weren’t there, only the Attorney who was forcing me to plead guilty was there. I can’t even call him my attorney, he’s obv
