“I should be able to get a cab from here. I'm heading to the cops, right away. That rascal can't live without paying for his sin.” Bianca belted. She stretches forth her hand, waving at some incoming taxi. The taxi drove off.“Come on!” Bianca grunts, she held her lips tightly. Bianca creased her brows, glancing at a black vehicle halt before her.“Oh no! Not again” Bianca groans, she hops dragging her other broken feet along.A man in black hops out of the black vehicle. He grabbed her by the neck, positioning a black handkerchief filled with valerian on her nose. Bianca stopped struggling from his grip, her hand slowly fell as she became unconscious.“Take her in, hurry!” The third in command shouted. His men carried Bianca in the black vehicle. The men in black drove her to their hideouts.Soon, they arrived at the men in black M headquarters. The men in black carried Bianca to their boss, Oscar. They tied her to a wooden chair.“Leave!” Oscar decreed. He turned around, facing Bian
“Let go of her!” Henry ordered, squinting his eyes. The veins throbbing in his neck were very patent. He clenched his fist, scowling at Oscar.“Geez! I warned you not to come over. ” Bianca lamented, her shallow breathing building a grin on Oscar's face. Oscar hums a tune, he sat reluctantly as he let out a pistol from his black jacket.Oscar placed his pistol on a stool in between himself and Bianca.“I love to offer painful death only. Especially to traitors like you.”Oscar's angry gaze sliced at Henry.Henry puffs out of his nostrils.“You rascal!” Oscar signaled to his men.“Bring them in”The men in black lower their heads, and two men walk up to a room door releasing some giant muscular men.Bianca's eyes widened“Go away, Henry. Go without me ” Bianca let out with a crack in her voice. “No, Bianca. I will always protect you. I promised your father to always protect you at all cost” Henry glared daggers at the two hefty men roaring.“Wait! Do you think these men are after you?
A few months later… The wind was frosty and shriveling. Rainfall started in the early evening and continued without interruption. It was a dark and stormy night. A fierce gust of wind swept off the street. A limousine halts before the cemetery. Bianca alight with her bodyguard, Lucas raising a black umbrella above her head as soon as she got off the limousine, he followed as the model passed. Bianca was in a black dress, still mourning her mother's death. The cruel icy wind cut like a knife across her cheeks. She quivers, rubbing her palm on each other. Her nebulous gaze met Helen pacing back and forth before Sophia's graveyard.“What do you want?” Bianca squints her brows at Helen. Helen stopped, she shifted her glare to Bianca with a smile creeping on her face. Helen slides her palm on her stomach. “I've been lingering around this graveyard for your arrival, Bianca.” “I'm here to have a word with you. I would love to say this once and for all” Helen let out, she wrenched h
The limousine comes to a halt in the parking lot. Bianca gaits out of the limousine with Lucas, walking after her. Lucas lifts his head as he glimpsed some shadow before them, he makes firm movements by yanking Bianca by her arm and positioning his other hand in his pocket. Bianca halts, and his tight grip on her arm produced an awkward impression on her face. “How dare you lay your filthy hand on mine, Mr. Lucas? Do you prefer to get fired? Don't you?” Bianca furrowed her brows, she makes an effort to pull her hand off his tight grasp. “Stay still!” Lucas requested, scanning his environment. His heartbeat rate increased as he glimpsed some men in black clothing surrounding them. Bianca's jaw dropped as she gazes at some men in black clothing lurking around a corner.“Who are they?” Bianca let out, her brows knitted in a frown. “I have no idea… get in the vehicle!” Lucas ordered, he tilts the pistol in his pocket. “What if they are friendly guys…. You get sensitive to the s
“We are heading home. Your ultimate security is my priority.”Bianca's cheeks turned red and her brows got narrowed, she growled at him through clenched teeth.“Pull over! I want to alight.”“I don't know those men's prime intention but it's obvious they want you dead. Do you wish to die just like a mayfly?” “That man behind a mask…he would protect me as he did earlier. Wouldn't he?”Bianca lowered her opened eyes, her lashes went up as she blinked.His visage moved to the road after he caught the sensation of Bianca's grimace. “I'm sorry, Ma'am but you are not making sense at all” Lucas apologized.“Apology not accepted! You are just my bodyguard, don't bridge that periphery” Bianca grumbled.Lucas mashed his feet on the brakes, and the car halts.“I am your bodyguard! Do you even understand what that means? I'm typically your only family”“Mr. Lucas. You are fired!” Bianca thundered.“Who cares if you fire me or not, I have something to let this out before we part ways.” “You wish

Lucas hums a tune, the doctor made sure he treated Lucas's wounds, and he walked the doctor out of the mansion. He crinkled his eyes and nose, swinging loosely to Bianca's bedroom doorstep. He hasn't been this excited ever since he got hired as her bodyguard.He coughs as he slightly opened her door to have a sneak peek at her sleepy head.He freezes, staring with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. He stepped back as he glimpsed Bianca pulling off her dress. His jaw slacked “Whoa” his widened eyes cruised her figure. He shuts the door, the sound that was a bit familiar; an unveiled hinge that betrayed those who came in. Bianca knew someone else was in the room.“Are you spying on me?” Bianca voiced from the room. Lucas gasped, attempting to forget the figure his eyes were ogling at.“Geez! I never knew she was awake” Lucas numbers. He chins up, placing a knock at her door.“Now you remember where you kept your manners.” Bianca's voice echoed from the room.“Should I come in or not?”Luca
Lucas prepared dinner for them both.He barged into her room, he got alarmed seeing her reflection in the mirror. “What's going on?” Lucas asks, shutting the door behind them. Bianca precipitously wipes her tears, she turned to Lucas with a feigned smile.“Have you ever been lonely?” Bianca sniffles, looking skyward “Yes… I lost my family at age ten in a road accident.” Lucas said dropping the meal he prepared on her bed.“Wasn't it endearing before their demise?” Bianca sniffles, taking a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror.“Depression would only exacerbate your health, Ma'am.” Lucas expressed with his button lips jutting down.“Whenever I look in the mirror, I glimpse my minor soul bawl,” Bianca confessed as a tear drops from her eyes. Lucas moved closer to her, he let he opened palm rest on her shoulder.“You have to move on just like I did. Relinquish your grip from the sad rememberings, recall the winsome memories you once shared with your late parents.”Bianca nods makin
Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming. He knew the next option was to carry out some tests on his bloo
“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?” Erickson grabs her arm tightly. He moved closer to her and his eyes met hers. With a smirk, he leaned closer. Celine jolts, she tried to walk away but his tight grip on her arm stopped her. Erickson was only making things hard for her, he was trying to confess his feelings but since Celine wasn't willing to listen to his confessions, he thought he had to force it on her.His grip on her arm becomes tighter and he didn't notice the pain he's inflicting on her. “I love you too” Celine confessed with tears streaming down her chin. She thought she could hide those feelings but not anymore.Her heart ceased for a second, she wanted to run away from her feelings and then Erickson embraced her from behind.He let go of her arm with a grin, finally fulfilling his wish. “Let's run away!” Erickson confessed with tears dropping from his eyes.Unknown to them, the
It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted
Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be
“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her. She knew this was a trap, but it was too late to turn back now. She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.
Emily knelt beside him, checking for a pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Celine. "He's still alive," she said.Celine's heart was pounding in her chest. She had never been so close to death before. The room was filled with the sound of their labored breathing.The minutes stretched on, and the silence between them was unbearable. Celine tried to speak, but her throat was too tight.Finally, they heard the sound of sirens outside. Celine felt a rush of relief. The police were coming.Jones was taken away in handcuffs, and Celine and Emily were left alone in the room. They sat on the bed, numb and exhausted.Emily put her arm around Celine. "Are you okay?" she asked softly.Celine shook her head. "No," she said. "That crazy guy almost killed us. He didn't care a bit about you.""It's okay," Emily said. "We'll get through this together."Celine leaned into her friend's embrace, feeling safe for the first time since the ordeal began. She knew that they had a long road ahe
“Emily, please don't tell me you believe that trash! Why would I assassinate you lover?” she said with her lips quivering.“What's with the pretense now? There's no one here just us.” Emily creased her brows with eagerness to listen to whatever she wanted to say.“I didn't murder him, besides he's alive. We had no dispute whatsoever so why would I hurt that fellow? ”“Really? You hated him from day one.” Emily rasped, blaming innocent Celine. If only she knew Jones was only playing tricks on her to get rid of Celine.“Im not ready to argue. Just want to inform you that Jones isn't dead.” Celine said.Emily laughed loudly “Oh my, what the fuck do you think I am? I ain't gullible. Do you think I would believe those cooked-up stories?.” Celine's mouth widened, she couldn't believe her ears. She knew Emily changed overnight and there is a solid reason she was being accused. With so much disappointment, Emily stormed out of the restaurant. Celine ran after her but with time, she lost her
With a cloud of sadness hovering over her, she fell to her seat with a slumped shoulder. Her confidence died down so did that rejoicing soul of hers. She looked up to Henry with a dreadful stare “You are at fault,” Henry was unable to compose himself anymore, the tears of joy wiped off, and he had no gut to look into his daughter's eyes. His eyes fell to the floor his soul drowning in disappointment.“If you haven't left mum for that woman. This wouldn't have happened!” Celine stood up, “Go take care of the bruises on your face” she stormed out of the hospital and fell to her knees with tears streaming from her eyes.Despite being blamed by them, he didn't hesitate to check on Bianca before running after them. Getting into her ward, the doctor was done conducting tests on her. “Hello,” “Oh hi, Mr. Henry.” The doctor in charge greeted me. Henry feigned a smile to avoid unnecessary attention.“Don’t pull on a long face, sir. She's getting better. ” The doctor said with a smile. Afte
Henry lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, his men continued to beat him mercilessly. He was in turmoil, he groaned cursing the day he ever joined the men in black. “Let go of me! Stop!” Henry ordered. He thought his title as the second in command would make them listen but it was otherwise.“Beat him to death, boys. We need to send his head to Boss when he is dead.” Lucas chuckled.Henry became weak and he couldn't scream for help anymore, he was about to lose consciousness when a gunshot rang out. It was fired at Lucas's forehead. The men stopped their assault as they were gunned down. Henry struggled to open his eyes, his vision blurry and his head pounding.“Who's that? Please don't kill me, we can talk this out.” Henry said, checking his pocket for his pistol.“Damn it!” He grumbled as he couldn't find his gun in his pocket. He remembered keeping the gun in his car.He blinked away the haze and his gaze met a figure emerging from the
