“It could be a coincidence, Martini.” I insist. A part of me wants to believe that it’ll never be Achilles because I knew him, and I believe he’s still the same person I met.“You’re unbelievable Jada, but fine I’ll give you time to prove to me that it wasn’t him.” He replied, I shifted my gaze back to my pastries.“Go to the auction.” He added before he turns his back and walk away. I heard Amari’s excited voice greet his father but my mind is flying somewhere.And if it’s him, what would I do? Eight months had already passed, and there are a lot of things that could change within that span. That includes his goal, and his motive, what if he wants to get revenge on me? What if he knew that his mom is still alive, and he knew that it was his mom who ruined their family and make his father commit suicide? Martini is probably right, Achilles might have forgotten who I was in his life when I left him when he knew all along that I fooled and betrayed him with Martini, and had a son with h
“W-what?” I looked at him unbelievably.“If you want to sleep on the couch then I won’t stop so yeah go on.” He replied.Oh really huh.“No thanks, I think I preferred more here,” I added and walk toward the bed and seat before I shift my gaze at him and smiled.“It was too small for the both of us, to sleep in the living room.” He insists, making me chuckle and lie on the bed instead to piss him more.I close my eyes to cut our conversation.“Nevermind.” When I heard his footsteps marching out of the room, then I know it was a sign of victory. I stand up and check the clothes in his wardrobe, as I want to take a short hot shower.When I opened it, it was full of men's coats, so I just got a plain one. Natalia doesn’t stay here? I should see sort of things of a woman.I quickly went to the shower room, and I’m not sure what is Achilles doing right now, I hope he didn’t leave me alone here using my own car.“What the f*ck are you wearing?!” I frowned he come out of the kitchen with eye
His eyes darted toward me and exchanged glances with me and Amari. I quickly hid my son behind me.“Go to your room sweetie,” I whispered.Thankfully, the latter obeyed, and leave us alone.“What are you doing here?” I asked straight into his eyes.“What happened to your face?” He asked instead.“What the f*ck are you talking about? Answer my question and leave!” I frustratedly exclaimed. Did he just see Amari that close and notice that he was his son?“I came by to give you this.” He coldly stated and gave me a black envelope.“You should’ve given this to me earlier, you should’ve not gone here Achilles.” I shot back.His brows firmed in line. “Why? Are you hiding something from me, Jada?”Why could I sense something from that question?“What would it be then? Just leave, and it would be better if this will be the last time we’ll see each other.”“Well, I couldn’t promise that.”“What?”“Nevermind, but expect to see my face often Jada Young. I’ll go ahead.”“Put ice on your face, it’
My eyes look down at his arms where the tattoo is located and I got a closer and clearer vision of it.“Touch it, sweetie, you seemed enthralled by it.”His voice, and his aura. Is different.“Sorry.” The only words I uttered before I quickly run out of the bar heart pounding so fast, but when I tried to gasp for air. I saw five men pointed at me, was it Drake Spencer’s men? Oh, f*ck that assh*le.I quickly get inside of my car and started maneuvering, ending up with five cars following me. Oh damn, this will be a long night.When my phone rang, my forehead creased to see it was an unknown number, so I quickly slide the screen to answer it.“Who are you?”“So you remove my name on your contact list huh?”“A-Achilles?”“Sorry to interrupt you, are you busy?”My forehead creased.“Aren’t you at the bar?” I asked as I took a peek at the side mirror. The cars were still following me.“F*ck!” I hissed.“What am I gonna do in a bar this time? I’d rather spend the whole night talking to you.
"Who's that Natalia Raccini?" Jera asked, she was walking back and forth while we were on the rooftop."She's an Italian model and a rumored girlfriend of Achilles Coleman." Martini was the one who replied as he simply look at me."Why would she do that?" Jera asked again."Who knows her real agenda? If you'll show up in the public then she'll face the consequence for lying." Martini replied."No, let her in the meantime. I think someone's controlling her, and that someone is the one we should be aiming for.""Actually we could have summoned Jada earlier and shown her tattoo in front of everyone, but Natalia also has it.""We both know that it's fake." I was just listening to them the entire time. Because what's running inside my head is Achilles' reaction when Natalia went in front."Who the f*ck is that?" He hissed, if we weren't in a serious situation then I'd probably laugh so hard. He doesn't know Natalia for real? When they were rumored in a relationship? How strange is that rig
“But I’m not yet sure about it. I still have some evidence to gather.” She added. “Or was it just your way of diverting the topic?” Spencer uttered this time. “And why did you think that way huh?” She asked back. “Because I’ve met Jera’s daughter. And you’re not her.” “How did you say so? Did you see her face?” Natalia asked mockingly. “No, she’s wearing a mask. But one thing for sure, she’s hotter than you.” I cough hearing it. Spencer and his remarks were good enough to annoy you. “She has the tattoo that you have as well, but hers seemed to be legit.” He added. What’s wrong with him? Is he looking for a fight? We were just exchanging glances between the two of them, non of each mafia leader wants to interrupt their small argument. “Do you like me?” Natalia asked suddenly making the man laugh a little like the woman just spitting a joke. “What? Are you insane for asking that?” “Then why are you saying nasty things just to be noticed by me?” Natalia let out a small grin bef
Achilles' voice kept ringing at the back of my head. Was he kidding or what? Because after telling me that, he turned his back and walk away not even letting me speak. Was it his trap? If yes then I fell for it as I wasn’t able to find the right words to deny it. Damn, I’m sure he was only waiting for a confirmation from me. It wasn’t impossible that he recognized our son, after all, they have the same color eyes, and it was quite strange for him. I gather myself together when Martini entered the condo and made myself busier by cleaning the dishes. I already talked to Amari about this, and we said it’s only our secret. Though I don’t feel bad for Martini, why would I? Achilles was Amari’s father, and I didn’t do anything wrong letting them have a small bond earlier, even though they don’t know. “You seemed to have a good mood aren’t you?” Martini asked feeling all his presence behind me. When he caught me humming. I shrugged and ignored him. “Can I have a short vacation with Amar
“Achilles where’s Amari!?” I asked again but terror slowly fills me when he remained silent as he drove.“Aren’t you gonna tell me? Please get me off here! I’ll find my son!” I glared at him.He look at me this time. “Jada please calm down.”“You can’t tell me that Achilles! It was Amari! Our son is f*cking missing!” I burst out feeling all the frustrations.He stops the car for a moment, making me glance at him in disbelief. Is he gonna let me get out of this and find our son alone?I was stunned when he moves and leaned toward me.“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to see those tears of yours again?” I didn’t even notice that I was crying already until he wipes it off.“We’ll find Amari Jada. Please trust me on this okay?” His soft voice calms me a bit. His lips touch mine, making me close my eyes. Why things can’t be stable for us? Why can’t they just let us be happy and live?“No matter what it cost, we’ll find him.”I just found myself nodding at him, and soothe enough to asses
