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
Russo is the leader of the C. Organization? I thought he was dead because Achilles killed him right?Achilles suddenly showed up, along with Caleb and some of their men. I put my gaze back at Russo who’s smiling annoyingly. When I couldn’t control my anger anymore, I punch him straight in his face.“F*ck you! Why did you kill Kendra?!”“I’ll f*cking kill you!” I continously give him straight punches not minding the pain crushing through my knuckles.“Jada that’s enough.” Achilles uttered but I didn’t bother to look at him and ignored his words.When I wasn’t satisfied, I pointed him the gun. His smile slowly vanishes.“Jada!”“The only pay for my friends’ life is yours.” I menaced and was about to pull the trigger when so
Yes! Of course, that’s what my heart wanted to scream.“W-Why?” But that’s the words that came out of my lips.“What do you mean why? Are you rejecting me?”“What? No!” I quickly replied.“Then does that mean…”“Yes Achilles, you can court me.” I cut him off and smiled.Amidst the students watching us, he hugs me tightly.“Achilles! They were watching!” I whispered.“Don’t mind them, Jada, you have no idea how happy I am.***Days turns weeks, and weeks turned months, Achilles never failed to give me flowers and fetch me from the university. We’re still in the dating stage but his consistency is surprising.I was on my way out of th
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
