“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
My heart was beating so fast as took a glance at the ring, it has a little diamond on top of it. And when our gaze locked, his eyes were like that again, full of emotions, from the coldest Achilles I’ve met to this one. It’s quite different but so heartwarming to see.“Then be my man, Achilles.” The only words came out of my lips. His eyes slowly widened.“You won’t take it back right?” He asked unbelievably, as he waits impatiently on my answer, it was all visible on his face.“Do I look like I’m kidding?” I shot back. And before I could blink his arms were completely wrapping me now tightly.“Thank you, baby, you have no idea how happy I am tonight.”When he removed his brace from me, he took my hand.“This ring will keep you remembering that there’s a man r
My knees tremble and sweat continuously cascades down my forehead as anxiousness fills me. Despite every anguish rushing in, I managed to turn around.“Jada!”I heard him screamed my name once again before I ran away. Just when the elevator opens, I quickly get inside, impatiently pressing the button for the door to be close, but a part of me was hoping that he’ll chase me, unfortunately, my pipe dream slowly fades as the door closed and no sign of him pops out.Tears started to fall along with my knees off the ground. But before I would look pathetic in front of everyone, I pulled myself up just before the door opens again. I run to the parking lot and drove as fast as I can to be into my condo before I messed up in front of these people. They don't deserve to see me breaking.My phone was ringing repeatedly while I’m putting all of my clothes in the suitcase. It
Frozen by his last words, another strike of pain crossed my chest. “His first love?” I asked, hoping that he’ll answer differently this time. Achilles never mentioned that he has a childhood best friend and his first love. I thought his mom is the only reason why he hates women. “Yes, Jada.” Taken aback when Caleb speaks again, I heaved a deep breath to calm and stop myself from the urge of tears wanting to fall. “Therefore, she was his past….” I paused for a moment and give him a cold gaze. “I am his present.” “No matter what his reason is, it won’t validate what I’ve witnessed with my two eyes, Caleb. They were kissing. The woman is on top of him, half-naked.” I continued, trying to explain to him that this isn’t all about that woman, and who she is in his life but rather the scene that I’ve witnessed with my two eyes. “Is it no
The audacity to call me his girl. Before anger consumes me, I run toward Henry and help him get up.“Are you alright?” I asked the most stupid question I’ve said in my entire life when I saw an open wound on the side of his lips slowly bleeding.“Don’t worry about me, Jada.” Henry shot back and try to smile yet it only gave me a fake one as a hint of pain flashed on his face.“Let’s go, Jada.” Along with that firm baritone voice was a tight grip on my left arm. Quickly flinching from it as I threw him a glare.“Leave me alone.” I coldly stated. Despite the medium pitch of my voice, it has been heard. Probably because everyone was finally watching us, and not even creating a single sound.“Jada.” Achilles called me in his menacing voice but I remain blank. What is he doing here any
Awakened by the sound of the strong splash of waves, I lazily get off my bed feeling all the heavy pain right inside my chest just to be greeted by the sunlight touching my skin as I opened the window of the cabin.A small smile escape my lips, I will never be tired of seeing this kind of scenery every day. The day was too good to be ruined by what happened last night. So instead of locking myself in this cabin just to avoid seeing him, I’d rather enjoy this amazing paradise right in front of me.I quickly remove my shirt and shorts, revealing my white two-piece bikinis, and walk toward the tempting blue ocean as the white sand slowly coats my feet.“Catalina needs you, and I don’t?” I asked him unbelievably.“Let me remind you Achilles, I’m your girlfriend. She might be your first love, your first heartbreak, and your first i
