Rage slowly consumes him, as he walks toward me heavily. My knees were shaking but I’m trying not to be obvious. I step back and tried to hide the phone behind me, but it was too late for that.“You’re calling him?” His baritone voice was low because Amari is just sleeping a few distances from us.Until I felt the cold wall at my back, he got me cornered between his arms.“You’re still hoping huh? Let’s talk outside.” He added, and before I could even react, he drag me out of Amari’s room.“Give me the phone, Jada.” His eyes piercing at me, but I didn’t budge. I hold the phone tightly instead.“Amari doesn’t deserve this Martini. You’re just using him so you could take advantage of me, can’t you fight fair and alone huh?” I shot back gritting my teeth. I saw a hint of shock on his face, but later on, faded and was replaced by a wide smirk.“So you knew?”“You were there earlier when I was talking to her on the phone right?” He asked again when I didn’t bother to answer.“Who was it?”
No, that’s impossible. I am supposed to recognize her voice if that’s her, but she’s the only person I could think of that has a reason for this to me. Probably she doesn’t want me to be tied to her son? Yeah, I’m suspecting Achilles' mother, but her voice isn’t the one I heard minutes ago. It’s kinda a different person, someone I haven’t met before.“Miss Jada?”My eyes landed on him as I didn’t notice that he was calling me multiple times. When I look at the screen of the phone, the call is already ended.“Oh sorry.” I handed him the phone, and after a minute of doing something on the phone, probably waiting for a text message from Martini, he handed me a credit card and a car key.“Are we gonna go now, Miss Jada?” He asked.I nodded, and glance at my son who was still playing on the beach.“Three men are fine.”“But Miss Jada, Sir Martini…”“Why? Can’t three men guard me? If that’s the thing then the penny you were earning from Martini is just a waste, isn’t it? Besides, my son nee
Trinity and I watched how the two slowly vanished from our sight still stunned. “So she’s with someone else now.” I don’t know why that slipped out of my mouth, and it’s too late to take it back. What the hell are you talking Jada? You left him remember? You don’t have any right to feel that way. “Jada…” “I have to go now, Trinity. Martini’s men were surely looking for me now.” I cut her off before she could tell in front of my face how stupid I was for telling those words. I didn’t wait for her to respond as I opened the door of the passenger seat quickly, my eyes were blurry and I know any minute now, my tears will all burst out. I have to leave. “Jada wait…” Trinity pulls me back to her and engulfs me in a warm embrace again. This time I wasn’t able to control my emotions anymore, tears started sliding down my cheeks like they have their rhythm. “Sssh. Everything will be alright Jada, don’t blame yourself okay? There’s no one to blame aside from that Martini, he’s the reason w
Martini slowly moves the curtains that cover the veranda, to be greeted by a woman looking at the breathtaking city lights of Moscow, she was wearing a black sexy dress and drinking a glass of expensive champagne. The backless string at her back made her look more sexy and sophisticated, her blonde hair was swaying as the wind blows. Despite the existence of a new presence behind, she didn’t bother to turn around. “What happened?” She asked instead. Martini heaved a deep breath before he walked toward the small table on the corner of the veranda where the wines were located. “I won’t lie. I hit her.” He honestly replied as he poured a bottle of wine into his glass. “Jada was getting to my nerves…” Before he finished his sentence, the sound of the broken glasses erupted, as they slipped from his hands. A strong force dragged him locked to the wall with two pairs of blue eyes furiously piercing at him. The arm of the woman choking him and her strength was beyond his expectations.
Martini just left the cabin hours ago, and here I am still stunned. Not just because of that slap but the thought that I might meet her tomorrow. Since I am having a hard time getting some sleep, I went to the kitchen and started making pastries instead, to keep my mind distracted.Until I didn’t notice that it was already four in the morning when I finished everything, Martini isn’t coming home yet and I’m not his wife to wait for him, so I tried to take a short nap. As soon as the alarm clock rang, I quickly went to Amari’s room.“Happy birthday baby!” I greeted.“M-mom it’s too early. I need to get some sleep.”He murmured as he pull the blanket to cover his face. But I just walk toward his bed and sat next to him.“Honey it’s your birthday. You have to get up, children of your age were invited to the party we’ve prepared for you.” I convince him, and thankfully it works as his head slowly pops out of the blanket with that weird smile on his face.“Children of my age?” He asked.I n
Natalia’s eyes lingered around me for a few seconds making me look away acting like I don’t know her and went straight to one of the cubicles. I heard the sound of the faucet being turned on, followed by splashes of running water.I don’t know why with her presence around I felt uncomfortable, was it because she’s Achilles' new girl now? Speaking of that man, I hope he wasn’t here, I mean I don’t know how will I act if our paths crossed. One more thing is Amari, he’s like a younger version of Achilles in some angle, and I highly doubt it if Achilles won’t notice that, and quickly jump to conclusion that it was his son.When I heard someone’s phone ring, I paused for a moment. I don’t plan of eavesdropping but I don’t have a choice, do I? Only to realize that it was Natalia’s phone that was ringing.“Yeah I am here already. I’ll send you an update later and I have a surprise for you, darling.” She ended the call with those sentences making me think if it was Achilles on the other line.
A man was standing right before the transparent glass wall, he was on the fiftieth floor of the Coleman Empire with a perfect view of the city. Reminiscing everything he had gone through before, all the struggles, the hardships, and everything he has to endure, for him to reach his peak.When people turned their backs and abandoned him, he left no one, only the dark side of the corner of his room became his comfort, for years. Now that he was able to get out of that caged, he can manipulate everything, and everyone, like a pawn on his chessboard, he’ll make them pay, all of them who forget his existence.“What are you doing here?” Achilles cold voice erupted from behind, dark circles were too visible around his eyes, nevertheless, he still subdue that powerful aura.“You seemed lost these past few months, aren’t you.” The man replied, not even throwing him a single glance.“Do I need your opinion? Why are you even here?”“I have no time for you, so while I’m still not losing any patie
It was dark outside, only a few stars were visible above. The clouds seemed heavy like rain will start to pour at any time. It’s already eleven in the evening but here I am still figuring out what happened last night, and how Martini and my conversation went.“Was she the woman behind you Martini? Is she that Miss J?” I asked straight into his eyes. I know J is probably just a pen name, and it could be anyone even whose name doesn’t start with J, to deceive people. Martini just laugh after that, until a tear fell down his cheeks and made me annoyed, is he just exaggerating on purpose to piss me off or it was his natural reaction like I just spill the funniest joke he ever heard. “Natalia Raccini really Jada? You’re suspecting her? You’ve probably seen her tonight and you had speculations at the back of your head already? ” I remained my mouth shut despite how he almost shoved to my face how stupid that sounded, not to mention that I’ve seen her before with Achilles. “Do you see a
