“What happened girl?” Kendra asked when we were now in her condo.
“I told you we were stuck in that freaking elevator.” I snarled back as I started to put all the pancakes inside my mouth.
“Is is it a coincidence that it was Achi? Haven’t you noticed him when you get inside?” She continously asked.
“Can you please stop asking?” I shot back frowning at her irritably.
“Fine, but you know I think it’s a sign.” She added.
“Shut the f*ck up!”
“It’s a sign that you two were destiny!” She laugh before I throw a pillow at her and she went outside.
“She talking nonsense isn’t she?” Rolling my eyes from the door she left open, I got my phone from the table and dialed Trinity’s number.

Days passed by and tonight is the night I’ve been waiting for. After four years of waiting, we will finally meet again.I was wearing my black leather jacket when my phone rang.“Kendra,” I answered the phone while I’m still busy finishing my look with the black boots I used to wear this time.“The key was on the shelves inside your room Jada, good luck.” She uttered before ending the call.I smiled at the thought of the Bugatti that I will be using for the race. I quickly entered the room and find the key, excitement fills me again when I found it, not because of the car that I will be using but rather the events that await me there.As expected my jaw almost dropped when I reached the parking lot and finally see the car, after a couple of attempts to see this personally was always ended up interrupted by someone or something.I drov
“Back off Coleman! Don’t put your nose into someone else’s business!” Russo roared while still pointing the gun at me.As I glance at Achilles, he’s looking at me and smiled a bit. Is he making fun of me? Why he’s still cool for all of this happening.“That woman is my business, Russo.” Achilles’ stern voice echoed. No one’s moving, I can feel Russo’s heartbeat as well.When I thought Russo’s too distracted, I immediately turned around and twisted his arms strangles me. I kick him at the back as hard as I can making him fall on the ground.“That’s a nice move.” It’s Achilles' voice and when I faced him, I gulped when I realized how close he was.Shifting my gaze back at Russo, Achilles’ men were holding him.Rolling my eyes from him, I
Dialing Kendra’s number while I was smiling like an idiot, though my hands were a bit trembling.“Hey, Jada, why didn’t you go home last night? Where are you?” She continously asked.“Hey please let me speak first.” I remained my voice in a low tone and tell her what happened.“So you’re in Achilles’ condo now?” She asked hysterically.“Yes, and I want you to get me out of here. I’m locked in a storage room.” I replied.“Alright, but how am I supposed to do that?” She asked back.“What the f*ck Kendra?” I grunted.“Right, Caleb is here. He will help us.”“What is the man doing there?” I asked.“It’s not important for now Jada, but don’t yo
Quickly turning my back, a man wearing a black shirt and jeans greeted me, his silver piercing reflected on the lights highlighting his well-formed facial features.“Martini.”“Aren’t you gonna hug me, Jada? It’s been too long since we met!” He exclaimed.Rolling my eye from him, I went back to my seat and ask for another shot of Margarita.“Woah, you haven’t changed. Still, the feisty Jada Turner I knew!” I felt his presence right next to the stool beside me.“Shut the f*ck up Martini.” I glared at him.“Hey give me some news, what happened? Why didn’t you show up after the race? Losing is part of a race Jada, there are still upcoming competitions! You don’t have to go here so you could move on, acceptance is the key. We’re still learning, and creating
“What the f*ck are you doing here?” I growled with eyes still widened.“I should be the one asking you that right?” He shot back and sip on the coffee I served.“Stop running away from me Jada, don’t forget that I’m Achilles Coleman. I have all the connections.” He added before shifting his gaze on me.“F*ck off.” I snarled and quickly walk away from him and entered the kitchen immediately, I can hear my own heartbeats, seems like it wants to get out of its cage.“Hey Jada I heard what you did earlier with those morons, they deserve it!” Henry commented while smiling widely at me.I ignored him and entered the locker room to change.How did he know I’m here? Damn.“Hey, Jada, something wrong?” Taken aback when Henry speaks, he looks
As soon as I arrived at Kendra’s penthouse, I packed my things quickly and dialed Trinity’s number.“Trinity.”“What happened earlier, Jada? You lost your connection didn’t you?” she asked.“Someone showed up sorry about that. By the way, do you have any news about Kendra?” I asked back.“Did the kidnappers call you already?” I added.“No, and it’s quite bothering me that they’re not calling. If they want money, it’s not a problem but it seems like they want you, Jada.”I closed my eyes to control the rage that started to build inside me again.“It’s that Coleman isn’t it?” I asked full of conviction.“I don’t think so, Jada.”My forehead crease
“You must be kidding me.”Right, this is just a f*cking prank.“No, someone left you in front of our house and we only adopted….”“You don’t have to get this far if you want me to leave dad.” I cut him off.“Jada look…”“So that’s why?” I asked. I understand now.“You may never tell me sooner but I always feel it day by day. I know every time I’m bullied and feel an outcast, something is off. Because no matter how bad I am, you should not treat me that way.” It’s almost a whisper but loud enough for them to hear. Shifting my gaze at Macy and Paris, I felt tears slowly flow down my cheeks. I told myself that they won’t see me cry but please be this day an exemption, the pain was too heavy to carry. I badly need a release.
The phone slipped from my hands, I was shaking uncontrollably, along with the tears that consistently escapes from me.“I-I’m sorry Kendra, it’s all my fault.”Taken by the light approaching and a sound of an engine, my vision slowly fades as well.***“Where am I?”Along with the confusion was followed by the sounds of waves. My forehead automatically creased as I try to remember what happened last night.“K-Kendra. I have to save her.” I immediately look at the clock near the bed, the kidnappers only gave me 24 hours. I have to move now.I set aside all of my questions why am I in this unfamiliar place, and how did I able to get here. I stand up and get my phone on the study table.“Where do you think you’re going?”I froze to
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
