“Trinity, is this some sort of joke?” I asked. How will that happen?“I don’t know what’s going on that time Jada, your sudden disappearance was followed by Achilles’ accident.”“You have no idea how he was too devastated when you’re gone. When he can’t find you. He was at the bar every night, drinking for a couple of months until that news surprised us all.”“Maybe you’re missing out on something here, Jada.” She continued.If what she’s telling is true then who bombed us that time?“That’s why if you’ll notice, during your interview. He doesn’t seem to remember you right?”“He got amnesia. When he woke up, none of us, even Caleb remembers. And Cassie took advantage of it. Achilles, somehow remembers that he has a girlfriend before, but the flashes of images in his memory were too vivid. Your face isn’t clear.”I was stunned. I don’t know what to do right now. Should I believe Trinity? She won’t lie to me. She doesn’t even have a reason why she’ll do that.“Seems like someone was pla
“What an unplanned reunion it is right?” I commented.“H-How? W-what are you doing here?” She asked unbelievably.“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that to you, Cassie Imperial Coleman?” I burst into laughter this time.“Baby, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you that I’ll fetch you?” Achilles walk closer to her and kissed her on her forehead, which pained me for a couple of seconds.“Do you know this psycho right here?” I heard him ask.F*ck you, Achilles.“I told you, Jada, you should’ve left,” Caleb commented this time. I just kick him once again.“You deserve that, jerk,” I replied and shifted my gaze back at Achilles whose arms were fully encircled on Cassie’s waist.The scenario brought thorns to my chest for the second time.“I know her,” Cassie speaks this time, gone is the fear on her face, and has been replaced by the evil smiles I already saw before.“She was the psycho, trying to break us apart. She’s madly in love with you Achilles and couldn’t accept the fact that you
The photoshoot went well and played it perfectly like how it used to be.“How’s the photoshoot?”Martini asked, he was sitting on the couch with red wine in his left hand. We’re not living in the same condo he’s always here, along with his men outside who guard me twenty-four seven.“It went smoothly.”“Oh really huh did you enjoy it?” He asked, my brows lifted at the tone of his voice.“What are you trying to say?”I throw him a cold stare after removing my stiletto.“We’re still sticking to the plan aren’t we?”“Of course, unless you did something behind my back that might change it.” I quickly replied.“Here we go again, Jada. How many times do I have to tell you that…”“Martini I’m tired. Can I have a break for a while?” I cut him off.He heaved a deep sigh in defeat before he slightly nods.“Thank you.”As soon as my back touch the soft mattress, his face flashes repeatedly at the back of my mind. Why am I feeling this way? I should be furious at him. Despite how he ignores me ear
Glancing once again at the rear mirror, I pulled out the guns from the compartment which I always bring with me in case of an emergency like this. I pulled out the gun and fought. I don’t have any choice right now. It’s either I’ll let them kill me, or the other way around. I’ve trained anyway so what’s the big deal?I look at Achilles who’s unconscious right now. I shouldn’t be saving your ass off but my conscience wouldn’t let me. This isn’t the way how I wanted you to feel the pain I have been through. I groaned when an excruciating pain penetrated my shoulder, blood instantly flow out of it, and I was shot.The exchange of bullets lasted for half an hour until I was able to hide the car from the tall bushes after drifting at the corner. My bullets were almost nothing so I couldn’t release more, and I’m having a hard time driving with how heavy my shoulder is right now. When the two cars finally passed by, that’s where I sighed in relief.“Ah.” I glance at Achilles when he groaned.
The doctor told us to bring Achilles to the hospital, so they could watch him. I decided to go back to my condo, for now, I just realized that Martini has three hundred missed calls already.When I arrived at the parking lot, my eyes settled on the two familiar black cars, right next to where I parked.My forehead creased when I fully recognized it. It was the cars who chased us last night.Two familiar men went out of it. Martini’s men. What is this all about? I followed them until Martini popped out in the scene, his firm fist landed on his men’s face. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but one thing is for sure, this is about what happened last night.Seems like Martini is doing something behind my back. What’s new anyway? I shouldn’t have trusted him, from the very beginning.When they were gone. That’s when I decided to go out and walk straight to my condo like I didn’t say something. As expected, Martini was seating on the couch with his cold eyes fixed on the champag
We didn’t waste any more time and got into the car. The bullets penetrated the window of the car, but the driver didn’t bother to move and drove expertly out of that place.“Get guns here!” He ordered pointing the guns on the passenger’s seat. I quickly move and get the guns, whoever he is helping is right now. His name is the least of our concerns.I handed Achilles a gun as well and we started shooting ten cars who were chasing us. We’ve targeted the tires so they won't’ be able to follow us anymore. I sighed in relief when silence erupted after that chaotic fight, only our heavy breathing could be heard.“T-thank you, Sir,” I uttered to the man on the wheel. He just nods at me and focuses on driving.We owe him our lives. Achilles took my hand, and kiss it.“We will never be apart again.” He whispered and kissed my forehead this time. I closed my eyes and encircled my arms around him.“I missed you so much,” I whispered back.“We will make him pay, Jada. All of the people involved.
Heart thumping so fast, I was flustered. This isn't true right? My baby is already dead, two years ago. Is this some sort of prank or was it Martini’s scheme again?Pulling myself up, I just roll back to the couch. I look once again at the picture, his smiling face, his dark green eyes, it reminds me of someone, Achilles. What should I do now? “Jada are you alright?” I quickly hide the black envelope unnoticed as he scanned what I am doing.“Yes, Sir Arnold? I’m good. Is everything set?” I asked instead, to divert his focus. “Oh, yes we will be sending these invitations today, are you all good now?” “Right, I’ll just go upstairs.” I bid my goodbye and quickly went up, my heart was still in a race. Taken aback when my phone suddenly rings, and when I took a glance at my screen, it was an unregistered number. “H-hello?” I can’t hide my nervousness from my voice, as I stuttered upon answering the call. “Miss me, Jada?” My teeth gritted when I heard his voice. “Martini.” “Have
My Knees started uncontrollably shaking, and tears continued to burst out. I wanted to curse as loud as I can to release this mix of emotions. Calm down, Jada. Martini wants you to feel exactly like this and never let him win. Right, I should be strong right now, but no matter how I tried to cheer myself up, my tears can’t just stop manifesting. “Jada?” I quickly wipe my tears up and flashed a fake smile before I faced Sir Arnold. “Is there something wrong?” He suddenly asked with his worried face fully visible. “No, I’m just a bit overwhelmed that I’ll be married tomorrow.” I lied. No matter how I wanted to tell him what was going on right now, I can’t. My son’s life is at risk here. I trust him but a part of me tells me to keep this to myself for now, while I’m figuring things out. Though I don’t have any sort of plan to get through this, I know there’s still a way. I’ll just have to soothe down and think calmly about how without risking my son or anyone I love life. I can’t aff
