“Achilles, the C. Organization!” I exclaimed.
But he just shook his head.
“Those were my men Jada, don’t worry. I have asked for some assistance as we will go back to Manila tomorrow.”
“What? Is it safe to be back to the city now?” I asked as he helps me get up and guide me to the door to see his men.
“We can’t stay here for long Jada.”
I didn’t respond and put my gaze instead on these men wearing black suits and fully armored.
“Was everything settled Maurus?” Achilles asked the man in front.
“Yes, Mr.Coleman.”

The sun starts to rise but my eyes were fixed on the set of waves that the yachts create as we pass through it.
They decided to leave the island as early as four in thThe bouquet slowly fell from my hands, as I tremble in fear. How on earth he was able to send this inside the Coleman Empire?The adrenaline quickly rushes in through my spine as I ran out of the building. Droplets of sweat anxiously fell from my forehead. The only thing in my mind is to get out of this place. I can’t afford to lose another life and dragged these innocent people to my mess.My feet took me to a place where me, Kendra and Trinity used to spend time together. As soon as I step my feet on the rooftop, memories of peals of laughter suddenly flashback. And from that moment, I fell onto my knees and shed tears silently under the light of the moon without anyone seeing breaking into pieces. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m so weak. Can I fight against a notorious mafia leader?I’m so ridiculous to think that I can kill him when I can’t even pull myself together. Not knowing
Like what Achilles said, I undergo extreme training, and when I meant extreme, the farthermost and hardest priming it is.“Extend your arms out in front of you and prepare to aim in on your target with your dominant eye. Your arms should be extended but not locked. Keep a very slight bend in your elbows with your shoulders still square to the target. To do not blade your body sideways.”I gulped as he say all those words right next to my ears that fully sent shivers to my system. How will I be able to focus if he’s too near to me?It’s my second day of training after the whole day of self-defense training yesterday. To be honest, I can still feel the throbbing pain from the different parts of my body, not to add up my injured shoulder and legs. Achilles was so ruthless, but he told me that it’s for my own sake, and we’re running out of time to prepare.
My heart was beating so fast as I entered the elevator up to the fiftieth floor. What am I gonna tell if he asks why I am here?I shouldn’t have gone here, f*ck this. Liking someone is so much harder than I thought.The moment that the elevator opened tripled my anxiousness. No, Jada, you have to stand on your impulsive decisions. Despite the doubts, I chinned up and walk proudly towards the only room on the floor.I opened the door only to be greeted by a man sitting prettily on the couch. Damn this psycho, I thought I left him in the training ground. I didn't notice that he was able to get here first.“I thought you're a fast driver than me.” He uttered flashing his annoying grin.“What are you doing here Caleb?” I asked, with eyes piercing towards him.“I should be the one asking you th
Shuddering at their tight grip on my arms, “Let me go,” I menaced as I gave them my deadly glares.“Tomorrow is the day Jada, you should be resting now.” Achilles suddenly uttered. It took me a couple of seconds to understand what he meant by that.The transaction. F*ck it, how could that slip out of my mind.“Right, I’ll be going now Martini. Thanks for today. By the way, here’s the key.” I gently throw him the Bugatti’s key which he quickly catches, and turn away straight to Achilles’ car. After a couple of seconds, I felt his presence on the driver’s seat.He started the engine without a word.“Aren’t you gonna ask why I am giving him the Bugatti’s key?” I break the silence to kill the awkwardness building between us.“It’s your car,
“You don’t know what you’re talking about Jada.”Oh, so he’s gonna lie to me huh?“I saw you two Achilles, there’s nothing to hide. Spill it out, are you two dating?” I bravely asked. I witness how his chest waved heavily like he was in big trouble.“You don’t understand it, Jada. Let’s go home.”“No! Tell me why you chose to have dinner with her instead of me?!” I exclaimed, and before I could take back what I’d said. Silence fills us. Damn it, what did I say?“Seems like you’re the one who sounds jealous here.” His baritone voice breaks the silence before he turns his back. What an assh*le.“I’m not jealous! You freak!”“Hey! We’re not yet done talking Achilles!” I growled. If s
Waking up at the white ceiling, my eyes slowly dragged to the woman sitting beside me.“J-Jada you’re awake!” She screamed and my eyes slowly widened when she hugs me.“T-Trinity f*ck off.” I scowled as the pain triggers me.“Oh, I’m sorry.”“Are you feeling well? Do you want me to call a doctor?” She asked hysterically.I frowned and shook my head.“I’m fine. What happened?” I managed to ask even though I was having a hard time speaking.“What you can’t remember anything?”I closed my eyes, trying to remember everything, the images of two men in suits and wearing a mask escaping flashed back. Then the bullet unexpectedly get into my body, which was probably coming from them.“I r
“What the f*ck Achilles, Russia?!”Is he out of his mind?“Maybe if you’ll just one step away from the C. Organization camp, then you’ll probably realize the danger that awaits you.” He coldly shot back.“Are we suicidal?”“No, but you are. Did your actions earlier was an example of suicide? Jada, the C. Organization were just in the city looking for you.”“And going to Russia is the only option to stop me from having fun?!” I growled. I can’t understand his point.“You’re hopeless,” I added.He didn’t bother to respond but drove fast instead. None of us were talking as we reach the village.When we entered the mansion, Caleb was waiting in the living area.“We’re righ
“Next mission?” I asked.He nodded before he walk towards the veranda right next to it was a pool with some dramatic lights beneath it.“A grand ball will happen tonight.” He started.“What does it have to deal with the C. Organization?” I asked suddenly before I walk towards a small table with wines on top of it. I poured one into an empty glass.“They’re one of the sponsors.”My forehead instantly creased.“What do you mean?”“That ball was made between the mafia organizations, it was a night for peace talks. But with the C. Organizations presence to it, that’s impossible to happen. However, they’re still invited as they are one of the sponsors. It’s also a good opportunity for them to create business and new deals with the other o
