Achilles’ hold on my hand tightened, I squeeze it for him to loosen up but he didn’t budge.
The woman glance at me and smiled.
“Good morning Ma’am.” I walk towards her and was about to kiss her on the cheek when…
“It’s fine dear.” She motioned her hands to stop me.
Embarrassment fills me, so I just fake a smile. Thank God Achilles pull me back to him ‘cause I don’t know how to react, but this time he wraps his arms on my waist. I slightly pinch him on the side, it’s too inappropriate to be seen like this by her mother.
Still, his eyes were piercing toward her blankly. I shifted my gaze to his mother whose eyes landed on Achilles’ arms encircled around me then back at him.
“You have a girlfriend now huh.” Her soft voice was too good to hear, it was like
“W-what? Who else would do that?” I asked continuously. That’s hilarious, I don’t have a name in mind who would do that tragic one, aside from Russo who’s now behind bars. He was able to do that before and bombed Achilles’ ships. But that’s impossible now.“I’ll look for it, for now, baby. I have to go.” He gave me a peck on a kiss, locking his eyes on mine.“Do you need any help Achilles?” I asked.He shook his head and smiled, but I know behind those smiles was a big problem he’s facing right now.Until he left, I’m just standing there looking at the closed door.I was taken aback when my phone suddenly rang.“Trinity.”“I heard what happened with one of the Coleman project buildings, Jada.”“Yeah Achilles ha
Achilles stare at me unbelievably, I was standing just a few distances from him, and witnessing everything, he looks shocked more than I do. I shook my head, tears started to glide down my cheeks as his eyes locked on mine.“Jada.”“It’s not what you are…”“I’ve seen everything Achilles.” I cut him off before I quickly turn my back and run away.“Jada!”I rushed inside my car and drove as fast as I can. I don’t have any idea if he chased me or what, for now, what I wanted is to leave that place, away from him.He’s not the man I fell in love with, he’s not Achilles.My mind is in complete havoc as the scene of him shooting the man’s arms, and blood outflowing repeatedly flashes in my head.I decided to not go st
Waking up with the white ceiling, I can’t move my body. I try to roam my eyes but still, everything was blurred. What happened? Where am I?“J-Jada?”“She’s awake! Call a doctor!”It’s Trinity’s voice.My head started aching, it feels like it was breaking in half. Two black cars chasing me started to flash in my memory. There's an approaching car on the opposite way with a child on the passenger’s seat and the cliff. I remember it now. I fell from that cliff to avoid colliding with the car approaching. Was that mean that I’m still alive?“Jada, are you feeling alright?”My vision slowly became clear. Trinity’s worried face greeted me. I wanted to tell her that I’m fine and still kicking but I can’t move my face, not even a word.The doctor suddenly came,
Curiosity fills me. But I choose not to interrupt, there’s a reason why Achilles didn’t tell it to me. Instead, I walk back to my desk and waited for them to be finished, acting like I didn’t hear anything.But in the back of my mind, it was already chaotic. Russo is not the real leader, then who would it be? And according to Achilles, I will be the one affected when I got the name of that person. Then I know him?When the door opens, I tried to flash a smile and walk closer to him, he greeted me with a kiss on the lips and deepened it more like what he always does.Until Caleb cleared his throat.“Apologies,” I uttered embarrassment eating my system.“Don’t worry it’s fine with me.” Caleb rolled his eyes before he stormed out of the office and we just chuckled.“Seems like I would l
“W-who are you?”“What do you know about me?” I continuously asked. But she only gave me a wide grin. She’s not just Achilles’ mother, but also there’s something she knew about the past, about my mother and my tattoo.“Let’s just say that I and your mother have the same world before.”She’s also a member of a mafia?“And you, you are the fruit of her betrayal to us.”“W-what?”“You don’t know?” She mocked back.“Being a mafia leader is not a joke Jada, along with it was a huge responsibility, including he/she forbade to fell in love, as it will affect her leadership on her people. But she breaks the rule and married someone who doesn’t know about the mafia’s existence, and it’s too late, beca
“Are you sexually active?”I haven’t yet recovered from what she said and now she’s asking another question. Am I pregnant?“Miss Young?”“Oh sorry.”“Are you and Mr.Coleman…”“Yes, doc.” I cut her off.“Well then, we only need to wait for a couple of weeks to confirm that you’re pregnant.”And that's what’s happened. After a couple of weeks, I was having morning sickness, mood swings, and easily gets tired.Achilles wasn’t reacting to it, he only gives what I want, pampers, and spoils me with my cravings which he thought was just normal. It doesn't to crossed his mind that I might pregnant. I didn’t mention it since we get out of the hospital unless it was confirmed and told him instead
The light was blinding even my eyes were closed, I was awakened by their annoying peals of laughter. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by cold water splashed on me. I chilled in frigid as warm completely leave my body.“Get off me!” I bravely exclaimed.“Achilles will be here! They’ll kill all of you!” I added. But the area only fills with their laughter.“If he could be able to find you.” The bearded man uttered.“Do you have any idea where we are right now?” He added.I clenched my fist, I wanted to kick their ass off.“We’re not in the Philippines anymore Miss Jada Young, for your information.” He continued and laugh again.“Why? Do you think Achilles doesn’t have his ways? When did he get to know that I am missing then who els
“Trust me when I say I tried to tell you…”“That’s bullsh*t! Trust? Really huh? You have no right to tell me anything about trust! ”I growled as rage consumed me.“You betrayed me!”My fist was firmly clenched as I glare at him.“You don’t understand Jada…”“F*ck you Martini! I trusted you.”No matter what his reason is, if there is, I’ll never accept that. He killed Kendra and put me in the hardest situation of my life.He didn’t bother to respond until he vanished from my sight. Only the sound of the closing door can be heard. I heaved a deep breath to calm myself. The doctor reminds me that I should avoid possible stressors, that might put me in huge distress.I walk lazily toward the soft mattress. I
