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.
Before he could land his eyes on me I immediately closed mine. This is better this way, I wouldn’t know how would I act anyway if our eyes met.My heartbeats got me uncomfortable, though his arms were too warm and my head was leaning on his hard chest. After a minute of walking, I felt the soft cushion touch my back, it gives me the idea that he was placing me on the mattress. The way he gently do that surprised me, seems like a different person was doing it, I wanted to open my eyes badly. But I can feel his stares at me for the next couple of minutes so I remained to pretend asleep. What’s wrong with him?Until I slowly felt his heavy breathing and footsteps walking away followed by the sound of the shutting door.***The heat of the sun got me awake as it strikes straight onto my face. A curve smile left my face when the beautiful scenery right in front of me greeted me, making me stand up
My groans fill the living area as I pull myself to stand up and glared at his room’s door. What an assh*le. Does he think that I am here to build some idyllic romance with him?Who the hell does he think he is to insult me? Not even half of his standards? Why? Does his ideal woman was a goddess in perfection?After calming myself I went upstairs and take a shower. I didn’t waste any more time and went to the room with the black door. As expected he was already inside while coldly staring at the shelves.“You’re five minutes late.” He greeted me with a grumpy face.My forehead knotted as I walk closer to him.“Do you think thirty minutes is enough for a woman to prepare everything including taking a shower and putting a makeup huh?” I shot back.“You don’t have to wear make-up at home, why
Days passed and Achilles remained to be cold as a block of ice to me. After that day he didn’t try to talk to me like he promised, his treatment never changed, or more got worsened. Well, it’s better this way for me, I was trying to distance myself from him as well. Despite his behavior toward me, I have proven my emerging feelings for him. My heart beats so fast whenever I got too near him, that often happens every morning if we’re both in the kitchen. It’s kind of awkward, or maybe just for me. I have never been too conscious of my physical appearance even if a man lingers around, just now. Like today, seeing my reflection in the mirror made me a bit uncomfortable, I was wearing a white dress and has very light makeup on my face. I just put some blush and gloss for my lips, my eyelashes were curled naturally so I don’t have to make efforts for it enhancing my hazel eyes. I let my big curled hair fall, making me look mo
What? He can’t be serious right? I glared at him unbelievably but instead of shifting a glance at me, he continued eating. We’re here for our own agenda not for a vacation, the delay will be surely prolonged more, thanks to this woman in front of me.“I hope you don’t mind, Jada?” My gaze now dragged to Cassie, as she smiles widely almost ripping her face off. But no matter how she smiles all ears, it can’t hide the fact that she’s faking it, I won’t be lured by it.“Well, to be honest, it’s not fine with me.” I frankly replied straight onto her face, not flashing any smile. I saw how Caleb lifted his head and look at me, but Achilles remained unbothered like he was expecting me to say it.“We’re here for some business matters to deal with, Cassie. Not for a vacation. If you’ll insist then, I might do it myself and finish
As we proceeded to the game, the first spin stops with Cassie.“Truth or dare?” Caleb asked.“Truth,” Cassie replied cheerfully.I opened the beer I took and drink it.“Do you like someone, cousin?” Caleb asked.“Of course, to be honest he’s just in front of me right now.”I almost choke myself with the beer I was drinking. Seriously? That loud? Is she purposely letting Achilles hear it?“Woah, that was too straightforward, I was only hoping a no or yes for an answer, but you indirectly pointed out who he is.” Caleb retorted and chuckled.My forehead creased as I took a short glance at Caleb to see his reaction, as expected his face was blank. Was he happy that Cassie likes him?The game went on and obviously, Caleb
The fast-paced of my heartbeats tripled, yet I can’t break his gaze towards me. It’s like a magnet keeping me intact.“A-Are you drunk?” I managed to ask.But I didn’t hear any response from him, as he moves closer still cupping my chin gently, filling the gap between us. Nevertheless, when our lips were just an inch away from each other, he paused for a moment. I can smell the beer from him, and my forehead creased when he suddenly fell on my shoulder.What the f*ck? Did he just fall asleep? We’re in the middle of the sea for Pete's sake.“A-Achilles?!” I called him, but he didn’t budge.“Caleb, I need a hand here!” I exclaimed. Since it’s getting late and there are only four of us here on the island, he quickly heard me.“What happened!?” He exclaimed back.
