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
I quickly made a U-Turn when the kidnapper texted me the address. I forwarded the message to Trinity and left a note that they have to track this car and entered the place after 15 minutes I get there. I don’t want to put Kendra’s life at risk, but if I have to ask for their help, I don’t know what awaits me there. I’m not that stupid to obey his rules, I wasn’t born yesterday.I checked the car’s compartment and smiled to see a gun inside.After checking the time, I maximize my speed. I only have an hour to get there. As I get closer to the place, I can’t help but be nervous. I don’t know what they need from me.As long as I arrived at the place, I roamed my eyes to see no one. Is this the right place? The address was right. I hide the gun on my boots so I could easily grab it, I was trained twice using guns, so this won’t be that hard for me. I just
Waking up with heavy hearts, a white familiar ceiling greeted me. Followed by the flashes of a scene of explosions and burned buildings, as well as the ashes of Kendra’s body in front of me. I can feel the sweat slowly dripping down from my forehead, I heaved a deep breath to calm myself.It was just a dream, right? Taken aback by the sound of footsteps entering the room, I quickly shifted my gaze to him.“I’ll go home Coleman, I have to find Kendra,” I uttered and stands up.“Kendra is gone, Jada.” I froze and didn’t move a bit.“It’s not a good joke Coleman.”“Jada.”This time I look at him.“It was just a dream. Kendra’s alive.” I firmly stated and walk to get my phone. My eyes were pierced on my phone’s lock screen, where w
Rage fills me as I look at the pictures of the members of the C. Organization, and my eyes are stuck with the man wearing the creepy white mask. My hands automatically formed into fists, the man behind the death of my friend. I can’t wait for the day that I’ll crush him with my own bare hands until he begs me to stop. But I will show no mercy.“C. Organization never showed up in public except when they kidnap your friend, Kendra. I don’t have an idea why they did that, it’s too risky for them, especially the cops weren’t aware of their existence, maybe they want to get your attention on them. And that’s made me more curious why they would jeopardize and tell the whole world of their existence just because of a woman next to me.”I gulped when he gave me a short glance, somewhat an interrogating look. But even I was in a huge puzzle as well.“According
When we arrived on the island, my jaw literally drop with the amazing feature of it. The perfect white sand meets the clear blue water, and from the distance was the luxurious-looking two-story penthouse.“This is a paradise.” I can’t help but mutter.“This is our family private resort, but that was too long ago.”I took a short glance at him when I felt his mood suddenly change after saying that.“I won’t doubt if this will cost a million.” I tried to divert the topic because it will be a bit awkward for both of us here.“Yeah, it does.”“Will you let me buy this someday?” I asked as I help the driver of the yacht, Mr.Kiko brings our things inside.“Yeah sure, a 50 million will do.”“That seemed too cheap for&he
