“What the f*ck are you doing here?” I growled with eyes still widened.
“I should be the one asking you that right?” He shot back and sip on the coffee I served.
“Stop running away from me Jada, don’t forget that I’m Achilles Coleman. I have all the connections.” He added before shifting his gaze on me.
“F*ck off.” I snarled and quickly walk away from him and entered the kitchen immediately, I can hear my own heartbeats, seems like it wants to get out of its cage.
“Hey Jada I heard what you did earlier with those morons, they deserve it!” Henry commented while smiling widely at me.
I ignored him and entered the locker room to change.
How did he know I’m here? Damn.
“Hey, Jada, something wrong?” Taken aback when Henry speaks, he looks
As soon as I arrived at Kendra’s penthouse, I packed my things quickly and dialed Trinity’s number.“Trinity.”“What happened earlier, Jada? You lost your connection didn’t you?” she asked.“Someone showed up sorry about that. By the way, do you have any news about Kendra?” I asked back.“Did the kidnappers call you already?” I added.“No, and it’s quite bothering me that they’re not calling. If they want money, it’s not a problem but it seems like they want you, Jada.”I closed my eyes to control the rage that started to build inside me again.“It’s that Coleman isn’t it?” I asked full of conviction.“I don’t think so, Jada.”My forehead crease
“You must be kidding me.”Right, this is just a f*cking prank.“No, someone left you in front of our house and we only adopted….”“You don’t have to get this far if you want me to leave dad.” I cut him off.“Jada look…”“So that’s why?” I asked. I understand now.“You may never tell me sooner but I always feel it day by day. I know every time I’m bullied and feel an outcast, something is off. Because no matter how bad I am, you should not treat me that way.” It’s almost a whisper but loud enough for them to hear. Shifting my gaze at Macy and Paris, I felt tears slowly flow down my cheeks. I told myself that they won’t see me cry but please be this day an exemption, the pain was too heavy to carry. I badly need a release.
The phone slipped from my hands, I was shaking uncontrollably, along with the tears that consistently escapes from me.“I-I’m sorry Kendra, it’s all my fault.”Taken by the light approaching and a sound of an engine, my vision slowly fades as well.***“Where am I?”Along with the confusion was followed by the sounds of waves. My forehead automatically creased as I try to remember what happened last night.“K-Kendra. I have to save her.” I immediately look at the clock near the bed, the kidnappers only gave me 24 hours. I have to move now.I set aside all of my questions why am I in this unfamiliar place, and how did I able to get here. I stand up and get my phone on the study table.“Where do you think you’re going?”I froze to
I quickly made a U-Turn when the kidnapper texted me the address. I forwarded the message to Trinity and left a note that they have to track this car and entered the place after 15 minutes I get there. I don’t want to put Kendra’s life at risk, but if I have to ask for their help, I don’t know what awaits me there. I’m not that stupid to obey his rules, I wasn’t born yesterday.I checked the car’s compartment and smiled to see a gun inside.After checking the time, I maximize my speed. I only have an hour to get there. As I get closer to the place, I can’t help but be nervous. I don’t know what they need from me.As long as I arrived at the place, I roamed my eyes to see no one. Is this the right place? The address was right. I hide the gun on my boots so I could easily grab it, I was trained twice using guns, so this won’t be that hard for me. I just
Waking up with heavy hearts, a white familiar ceiling greeted me. Followed by the flashes of a scene of explosions and burned buildings, as well as the ashes of Kendra’s body in front of me. I can feel the sweat slowly dripping down from my forehead, I heaved a deep breath to calm myself.It was just a dream, right? Taken aback by the sound of footsteps entering the room, I quickly shifted my gaze to him.“I’ll go home Coleman, I have to find Kendra,” I uttered and stands up.“Kendra is gone, Jada.” I froze and didn’t move a bit.“It’s not a good joke Coleman.”“Jada.”This time I look at him.“It was just a dream. Kendra’s alive.” I firmly stated and walk to get my phone. My eyes were pierced on my phone’s lock screen, where w
Rage fills me as I look at the pictures of the members of the C. Organization, and my eyes are stuck with the man wearing the creepy white mask. My hands automatically formed into fists, the man behind the death of my friend. I can’t wait for the day that I’ll crush him with my own bare hands until he begs me to stop. But I will show no mercy.“C. Organization never showed up in public except when they kidnap your friend, Kendra. I don’t have an idea why they did that, it’s too risky for them, especially the cops weren’t aware of their existence, maybe they want to get your attention on them. And that’s made me more curious why they would jeopardize and tell the whole world of their existence just because of a woman next to me.”I gulped when he gave me a short glance, somewhat an interrogating look. But even I was in a huge puzzle as well.“According
When we arrived on the island, my jaw literally drop with the amazing feature of it. The perfect white sand meets the clear blue water, and from the distance was the luxurious-looking two-story penthouse.“This is a paradise.” I can’t help but mutter.“This is our family private resort, but that was too long ago.”I took a short glance at him when I felt his mood suddenly change after saying that.“I won’t doubt if this will cost a million.” I tried to divert the topic because it will be a bit awkward for both of us here.“Yeah, it does.”“Will you let me buy this someday?” I asked as I help the driver of the yacht, Mr.Kiko brings our things inside.“Yeah sure, a 50 million will do.”“That seemed too cheap for&he
Damn, I flinched and put the book back on the shelf, and nervously shift my gaze at him.“I-I’m sorry, I forgot the color…”Before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm and drag me out of the room.“H-Hey! Can you be at least be more gentle?” I growled and get my arms off from his tight grip.“Not on people who can’t even understand and obey my simple rule!” He shot back and get back to my arms again and drag me downstairs this time.“I told you I forgot the color of the door!” I exclaimed back trying to explain myself.“Don’t give me that bullsh*t Jada, you’re not a ten-year-old kid to forget that!”“But I’m telling the truth you assh*le!”Darn it, he’s getting into my nerves.
Knees trembling, I still tried to stand up and run towards him. No, this is just a dream, right? “A-Achilles!” With the only strength I have right now, I fell to the ground again. But the next thing that follows feels like my world fell apart. “N-No!” It was a strong explosion, coming from their car. My body was betraying me despite how I wanted to get there, I dragged myself near the cliff in any way I can, and tears started cascading down my cheeks again when the car isn’t recognizable anymore, it was on fire and huge smokes are everywhere. “A-Achilles.” “P-Please don’t leave me.” No, he’s probably still alive. I shouldn’t be running out of hope. Achilles won’t leave me like this. “I-I’ll come for you!” “I-I’ll save you.” I tried to stand up even though my knees were unable to support my weight. The cliff was too deep vertically, and it was nearly impossible to get down there but who am I to let my man die? My vision was still blurring so I wipe it, despite the anxiousnes
“You must be kidding me.” I glance at her in disbelief. Marry Martini? That’s absurd. “Do I look like I’m kidding?” She asked. Her face was emotionless like how it always was. “The wedding will happen in a week.” She added. “How about Achilles? You should at least save him now!” Who knows what could’ve he is experiencing at the hand of that psychopath if we prolong it more? “Two conditions Jada.” She replied in finality. I clenched my fist, if I didn’t control my patience, every effort I made will turn into nothing. “Take it or leave it.” “If Ares…” “Do something to him?” She cut me off and continued my sentence. “If something bad happens with Achilles, there’s no one to blame, but you, Jada. Due to your impulsive decision again. ” “Really? Do you think Ares will be happy with what you did? You just added flame to the fire, Jada. Sometimes doing what you think is right should be at perfect timing, it doesn’t apply at all times especially if someone’s life was at risk. You sh
Thinking that she only wants peace and order in Russia was a hoax, I was surprised that she’ll lead the mafia organizations again, but what’s more shocking is that she has a hidden agenda beneath it, to be the next president of the country. Sir Arnold gave me a heads up that my mother is a daughter of a former President of the country, but I didn’t know that she wants to get in touch and took the path her father took.Now everything makes sense, why she is too obsessed to push me to bring back the peace and order between mafias, so she’ll get all the credit for it? Now that my name is fully tainted when I pleaded guilty, she didn’t push me anymore and took the throne instead.I was taken aback when someone knocked on the door. Was it Martini? If it was him, then he wouldn’t knock anymore since the keys were on him. Besides, how am I able to open that door again?But when I heard the clashes of keys, then I am certain that it was Martini. I only waited for the door to open and the pers
“P-please let me use your car,” I asked the couple who were making out inside of the car.“Y-You look familiar.” The woman commented. I am probably wanted in the entire country.“T-That’s not me.” I quickly responded.But the man pushed me away making me fall onto the floor, I don’t have a choice now but to use this or else Ares’ men will be here any moment. I pulled out the gun from my back and pointed it at them.“M-move.” I menaced before I pulled myself up.“M-move or I won’t think twice about shooting you two.” My eyes quickly landed on five men in black from a distance running toward me!“F*ck! Move!” I growled thankfully the two quickly obeyed and get to the side.“Give me the keys!” I ordered, and the man handed it.“Thank you, and I’m sorry.”I quickly get inside the car and roared the engine, just before Ares’ men arrived. I sighed in relief when they vanished from the side mirror.I drove to the only place I thought would be able to help me on this. The Cooper Corporation.
The chains were making sounds as we tried to make a way of getting out of it.“A-Are you alright?” Achilles asked right next to me, he was in the same position as mine, our hands were chained up above our heads.“I-I’m fine.” I manage to say despite the fact that I’m really tired, and my arms were getting numb for hours being tied above already, I’m not alone. I know Achilles feels the same way as I do.“Don’t worry we’ll be able to leave here.” He shot back obviously cheering me up, I probably look hopeless right now. Ares drag us to this abandoned place and his men were just around.“And how will you be able to do that?”“Both of you will die here.” He added.“F*ck you!” I cursed.“I appreciate your gratitude, my dearest sister-in-law.”“Why are you doing this Ares, just kill me. Leave Jada and my son alone.” Achilles uttered.“Woah, so romantic and disgusting. You’re tainting Coleman’s symbolism, we don’t bow our heads to women. But look at you, pathetic and a victim of that f*ckin
Until I got inside of my jail, I was still stunned at what I saw. Achilles surrendered himself? That’s the most stupid thing he’ll ever do in his entire life? How about our son? Does he even think about Amari? I sat on the bed near, as I felt a bit dizzy. I wasn’t able to appreciate the room anymore, being it too clean and modest for a cell, as Achilles took the spotlight at the back of my head.I lie on the bed and slowly closed my eyes, this is too much.“Jada Young you have a new inmate.” It was the voice of the officer, I tried to open my eyes but it was too heavy like my lids were attracting each other like a magnet. I only heard the sound of the door opening and didn’t take too long to closed.I thought I am the only one here.I only felt someone’s presence near me so I forced my eyes to open a little. Someone was right in front of me, but my vision was a bit blurred. Until that person touched my head.”You’re sick.”That voice. Don’t tell me I’m hallucinating.“A-Achilles?” I
“It’s too good to know that you’re back. Was it for good?” Deborah’s annoying face greeted me.“Spare me some peace, I need a rest.” I coldly shot back before heading to bed but then felt a hand gripping tightly on my shoulder.“Still a b*tch huh?”“How about the officer you killed? Was the punishment already included in your verdict?” She asked. I rolled my eyes and shrugged her hands off.“Leave me alone,” I commented.The latter doesn’t seem to understand what that means as she kicks me hard to my back which made me land on the bed forcefully, I bit my lip when my stomach hit the edge of the bed.“You’re still hard-headed aren’t you? I only let you attack me the other day but that doesn’t mean that I’ll let it pass. Hold her!”Before I could even recover, Miriam and the other one I forgot the name hold my arms, as they force me to face Deborah.“In this place, I’m the queen! So learn to respect me and kneel if you don’t want to die here!” She exclaimed. The two were forcing me onto
Holding my hands tightly, I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying. I heaved a deep breath before opening it again, and look at Drake Spencer coldly.“I killed them. I was the mastermind behind the bombings, murders, robberies, extortions, and every crime recently. That’s me. So just give me my verdict and put me behind bars.”Drake’s calm facade has fully vanished. I can see in his eyes those questions such as why am I doing this?“Bring back the death penalty and let her be the first one to receive that punishment!”“That’s the last thing you can do to give justice to all of the victims!”“Bring back the death penalty now!”The audiences inside of the court kept on screaming those words, and I know even those people outside of this place, and those who were watching on their television had the same thought too. I know this trial was broadcasted locally and internationally, seeing tens of cameras, and reporters out there isn’t surprising anymore. Plus, the journalist inside in fro
“All of the people were screaming for justice, asking the government for a death penalty punishment against the accuse, Jada Young.” The reporter caught Jera’s attention and get back to her senses.“No, Jada will surely be proven innocent after Natalia has been eliminated is the witness. And even the shreds of evidence she showed has been considered with a high possibility to have tampered.” She whispered to herself.The trial started, and when Jada entered the court, it was filled with harsh words toward her making the judge shut everyone.Jera’s forehead creased, she then had a second thought of attending the final trial so that she could slap those people with the truth that Jada will be proven innocent in the end. The camera got a shot of the people in the court, that includes the mafia leaders, on the left corner and Drake Spencer, Jada’s attorney. Jera’s eyes glimmered at what she saw, making her eyes more focused on the screen of her hundred inches television.Spencer near the
