KAYLA

My heart was pounding fast as I sat in the car's back seat while Enzo drove me to the club where I would be meeting the rival I was supposed to be extracting information from.

Luiz Martinez, the man Ricardo wanted me to extract information from was a new drug lord that had been selling to Ricardo’s customers and he wanted me to find out the type of drugs the man was selling.

It was a ridiculous mission because I thought it was something he could find out on his own, without needing me but what could I say to refuse? He promised me he would clear all Leila’s medical debts we were still trying to pay so I accepted.

I had to lie to my friends again when I called to inform them, I couldn’t come. I told them Leila needed urgent surgery in another hospital, so I had to be there. Ricardo had her transferred too to somewhere better.

He worked fast. Leila had been transferred as soon as I accepted to do the job. Ricardo also put her in a private room, and she was going to be attended to

    KAYLALuiz parked the car in the hotel’s basement parking lot. My heart was pounding hard and the image of what had just happened kept replaying in my head.What would have happened if I hadn’t gotten out of that place in time? What if I had been forced to kill someone? There were so many questions in my head and there was no answer to them.I was a secret agent for fuck’s sake. I wasn't supposed to be involved in shit like this. This was all my dad’s fault. If he would allow the agency to help me just like they did for other agents in their assignment, I wouldn’t be here.This was the first time I had experienced something like this. I had never been to a mission before and since I’ve been here, I’ve not been close to death like this.I was also now an accomplice. If that man died, I would go to jail. The thought of how much I had messed up made tears roll down my cheeks and I was too angry to try and wipe them away.“Hey, calm down” Enzo spoke gently, placing a hand on my shoulder w

    KAYLAI sat up suddenly and looked around the dark room. I wondered why I had woken up suddenly in the middle of the night when movement from my side caught my attention.“Fuck” I cussed as I recognised Ricardo sleeping beside me. I had been swearing a lot since I came here.I was still in his penthouse. How could I have fallen asleep in the enemy’s house? He looked so peaceful as he slept.The swelling in my ankle had gone down. I needed to leave so I shook him awake.“Ricardo, I have to go home.” His eyes snapped open, and he had up abruptly.“You are awake” He turned around to look at the time on the clock behind him. It was three am.‘It’s too early. Go back to sleep and I will have Enzo take you home first thing in the morning” I nodded my head, but I couldn’t go back to sleep.“Did you get the information you needed?” I asked. I had been so out of it yesterday that I had forgotten to ask if the little information I got from Luiz was what he wanted.I hope it was because I didn’t

    KAYLAI woke up for the second time in his bed but this time it’s empty. I reached out to touch his side of the bed and it was cold. He had been up for a while and my head couldn’t help but race as I came up with all the things that could have happened with me asleep and him awake.My thoughts travelled back to what happened last night. I wonder what we were. For men like Ricardo, eating a woman out was something that was probably normal but for me, a billion questions in my head were asking who we were and what last night meant.I was ashamed to say it but he was the first person to go down on me and my first real kiss. Jaemin from high school didn’t count because the kiss was sloppy, and I ended up with more spit in my mouth that wasn’t mine when it was over.What I was certain of however was that he was sexually attracted to me, and he probably wanted to fuck me if I could jump to conclusions from last night and that was what scared me more than the mission itself.Call me a coward

    RICARDOI watched my fiery doll stomp her way to the room with a smirk on my lips. I knew she expected that we were going to be done after the test, but I had no plans of ever letting her go.I wanted to keep her and that would happen until my little attraction for her faded like it always did with the others that were before her.The door to the bedroom closed with a loud bang, forcing a chuckle past my lips as I picked up the cup of coffee that had gone cold so I could toss the liquid into the sink and pour myself another cup.She passed the test like I knew she would but now I had to think of something to give her as work. I had made no plans when I decided to have her permanently work for me but there was no way I could let her go back to the club as a dancer the moment I claimed her as mine.Mine.I haven’t used that word in a long time, but it was fitting as I used it to describe her like the word was meant for her. “Mine” I nodded approvingly as the word rolled off my tongue a

    KAYLAI walked back and forth in the room, glaring at the door and wishing that my eyes would magically become a lacer that could slice through the cold-hearted bastard who I left behind. The anger I felt bubbled violently in my stomach as I pictured everything that had led to this moment. I was unable to think clearly, and it only made my frustration towards the situation that I was in grow. How dare Ricardo think that he could just lock me away as though I were some kind of prize? My mind wandered back to the heated argument we had earlier. The room was larger than the tiny apartment I lived with Leila but at the moment, I felt caged and the walls felt like they were closing in on me. “Kayla?” Ricardo called, stepping into the room while I stopped my pacing, happy to be able to direct my glare at my intending target. This was the first time he was using my time, and I don’t know why but it only made me more irritated. I pursed my lips and crossed my arms over my middle as I wat

    KAYLAIt’s been two days since I’ve been locked up in Ricardo’s penthouse. We didn’t talk and I wasn’t interested in the little conversations he tried to strike up with me. I had a lot of emotions pent up inside me and I was boiling to let them out.The reality of the situation I was in settled yesterday and I had still found no means to get a solution to the problem and how I could get him to let me leave. He wasn’t willing to listen to me.“Are you ready to go?” Ricardo asked, pulling me from my thoughts as he stepped into the room. He looked composed as he eyed me with an emotion I couldn’t quite place.“Go?” I asked, my brows raised in confusion as I had no idea what he was talking about. “Go where?”“To visit your mother” He answered as though it was something I should have been aware of when we’ve barely had a comprehensible conversation for the last two days.“Are you going to let me go after the visit?” I asked even though I already knew the answer that was waiting for me.He

    I helped Leila sit on the chair that had been placed there before by the nurses to help her during her baths before checking the bathroom for listening devices as well. Extra? Yes, but with people like the mafias, there was no telling how far they would go.Leila arched her brow in question, and I shook my head to let her know there were no listening devices in the bathroom.Leila pointed at the tap, and I moved to turn it open so the water could begin to fill the tube.“What’s happening, Kayla? You were gone for days again. Did they get you again?” She asked worriedly, her frail voice cracking as she spoke.I heard from Miro that Leila was a formidable agent before she fell sick so seeing her worried like this made me forget that she had been on missions like this and knew the risk that was involved.I almost didn’t want to tell her the first time Ricardo got me but she put things together and confronted me so I couldn’t keep it from her any further.“Yes. I don’t know what happened

    KAYLA “ Enzo?” I gasped as I stared right into his dark eyes. He glanced into the bathroom suspiciously. “ Why do you look stunned to see me?” He frowned. “ Wouldn't anyone be startled if they opened their bathroom door and met someone just standing right in front?” I regained my composure as I countered his question with a question. “ I decided to check up on you and since you weren't in the main room, I believed you'd be in the bathroom,” he said with his gaze fixed on me. “ Do you think I had plans of escaping?” I questioned. “ Maybe,” he shrugged. “ I believe they'd be no use in running away seeing how your boss would find me anyway. Besides, how exactly was I supposed to escape when this room is on the top floor?” I arched my brows. “ Hmmm,” “ And if I hadn't opened the door right now, did you plan to open the bathroom door just to confirm that I hadn't escaped?” I gaslighted. “ My job is to ensure that you don't do anything stupid,” he answered, the tension ge

    KAYLAFive years later Liliana barged in with Nico following her behind. She was always so extra. “ Slow down, you're going to fall at the rate you're going,” I said to her. “ Lio! I've missed you,” she hugged me dramatically. “ We met like a month ago, Lily,” I reminded her. “ Even though,” she was persistent. “ I don't think I can live without you. What if we live together?” She suggested. “ You're married, Lily,” I pursed my lips. “ We can still live in the same house,” she insisted. “ You keep forgetting that you're married and you have a child,” I have her a flick on the head. “ Nico, do you need a break perhaps?” Dealing with Liliana must be too much for him. “ Apparently, I signed up for this,” he sighed as he rocked Arianna, their four-year old daughter. She looked like Nico. “ Is she still asleep?” I lowered my tone. “ Yes. She'll be sad if she can't see you today, she was antici

    KAYLATwo days later Contrary to how I thought I would feel, I didn't feel hollow or empty. I would be lying to say I wasn't sad but I also felt good that I had ended things with him. Our relationship never had a solid foundation. “ Can't believe it started out toxic and ended toxic,” I mumbled. “ What are you going on about, rambling to yourself?” Liliana said. I turned around to find her leaning against my door post. “ You startled me for a second,” I held on to my chest. “ You really should learn how to knock,” I frowned. She really had startled me. “ Yeah, yeah,” she rolled her eyes, not taking my words seriously. “ Did you want to tell me something?” I asked as she sat down on my bed. “ Yes and no,” she shrugged. “ Huh?” “ Don't think too much about your break-up with Ricardo. It was the right decision,” she said. “ Thanks,” I smiled warmly. “ I also wanted to let you in on a secret,” she leaned clos

    KAYLAI tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The moment Gian had stepped out of the room, I was not able to stop myself from breaking down again.I was such a weakling. I curled into myself as I cried my heart out while being mad about myself that I couldn’t stop crying and my heart wouldn’t stop hurting.I sniffled quietly, hours or probably after minutes. It seemed my eyes had dried off and there were no longer tears for me to shed.“I hate you, Ricardo” I muttered to myself as I wiped the tears that were drying on my cheeks. My sobs had turned into whimpers without tears.“How did I get here? Was everything all for nothing?” I asked myself as I turned to my back and stared at the ceiling while my heart and head wondered where it had all gone wrong.How the hell did I fall this deep from my first mission? Love was such a bastard. I was so stupid for falling for Ricardo and thinking I had his heart after all this time.Ricardo was a hardened criminal who thought of only the fami

    GIANI unlocked the door and we both went into my apartment. My legs carried me to the switch and I turned on the lights and walked in. “Do you want anything to drink?” I turned to Kayla who was still lingering by the door. She opened her mouth and closed it a few times, hesitation present in her eyes but she finally made up her mind and gave a slight nod.“Come on, stop lingering like a stranger” I told her, attempting to lighten the mood but it didn’t work.She walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch while I walked into the kitchen to drink water.I may not be as drunk as I was as a result of having to go and pick her up but I was still tipsy and Kayla’s demeanor told me that I needed to be sober in case she needed me.I reached for the orange juice in the fridge because I didn’t think it is was right to give her alcohol even though she looked like she needed one.I poured the juice into a glass cup for the both of us before going back to her in the room where sh

    GIANThe high-end club I loved to visit was known for its insane parties just like I love it. I knew I was drunk but I was still aware of my surroundings. Ladies swarmed me like bees and I wasn't one to complain about the attention as they took turns to grind their bodies against mine.The music was loud and I was certain I was going to have a headache tomorrow but who cares? all I wanted was to have fun right now.I leaned against the bar with a smirk on my face as the girls tried to get my solo attention. “Oh Gian, you're so hot” the blonde ladies dressed as provocative highschool girls kept fawning over me as they gave me more and more shots of alcohol. These girls were easy and worse still, some even came with their boyfriends! What a sad world. I had gotten into a few fights earlier tonight because of the boyfriends coming to talk smack at me for taking their girls. Like bro, how's that my fault? “Tell me something I don't know, ladies” I said with a smirk as I took another s

    KAYLAIt was raining heavily as I drove my black car down the road. I was trying my best not to show any emotions but it was hard. I found myself unable to muster any emotions as I stared blankly at the windshield drenched in water with the wipers swinging from side to side as they attempted to clean it. Where was I even going? I asked myself but I couldn't come up with any answer. I could only drive while occasionally staring at the few cars that traveled alongside me on the dark and wet road.“F*ck you, Ricardo! F*ck you!” I cussed in mutters, trying not to let my rage get the best of me. I wanted my mind to be blank but I couldn't help myself.I was annoyed, pissed, enraged, angered….ahhhh! There wasn't any word in my freaking vocabulary to accurately describe how I felt. We were engaged for Christ’s sake. Yeah, maybe I wasn't the best partner but I did my best, didn't I? I turned my back on the government because of this man and he just casually trampled on my feelings and sa

    KAYLA We talked about random things from my siblings to his siblings. He especially went on and on about his little sister, Lexi. I hadn't seen her but I knew she'd be adorable. The food showed up, a colorful spread of hot delicacies presented with style. Every dish was well seasoned and my previous distrust quickly faded. “ I really love the food,” I savored every moment of each bite. “ I'm glad you're enjoying it,” he was satisfied by my reaction. The atmosphere became more laid back as the minutes went by, as we laughed and enjoyed our dinner. By the time dessert arrived – dumplings or what they originally call Jiaozi – my initial apprehension had completely vanished. I found myself genuinely enjoying every bit of the restaurant. As we sat there, savoring the sweetness of the dessert, a comfortable silence fell on us. Axel leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on me. Looking up from my food, our eyes met and I couldn't bring myself to loo

    KAYLA The motorcycle ride through the busy city streets was thrilling, giving me a brief escape from my worries. Axel parked the bike in front of a cozy restaurant on a quiet side street, bringing me a sense of relief. I had secretly been anxious about going to a fancy, high-end restaurant, fearing the expensive menu, unfamiliar rules, and possible social mistakes. “ Sometimes, I forget that I'm rich,” I sighed. Stepping off the motorcycle, I took a deep breath of the warm evening air scented with jasmine and a spicy aroma. It was a Chinese restaurant. " Ready for a surprise?" Axel asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief.I couldn't help but smile back. "Always," I replied, my apprehension replaced by a sliver of curiosity.He took my hand and led me around the back of the restaurant. My jaw dropped open in surprise. A hidden fake oasis unfolded before me.The backyard of the restaurant had been transformed into a breathtaking scene. Lotus lights sparkled on

    KAYLA I reappeared into the living room where we all were. I was all dressed up for the day. “ How do I look?” I asked, wanting to know their opinion. “ Great as expected but aren't you too concerned about your looks for ‘ just an outing ’ with a friend?” Renato bounced his brows. “ What would you know about girls?” I scoffed. “ We bother about things like this no matter who we're meeting,” I found a way to justify my actions. “ So why don't you want us to tell Ricardo or anyone else about your whereabouts?” Renzo probed. “ And why were you blushing and playing hard-to-get over the phone?” Now, they were just exaggerating. “ By the way, we're not against it. We're totally in support so there's no need to worry about such trivial things,” Renzo have me a thumbs up. A playful smile tugged at the corner of my lips despite my flustered state. "Don't tease," I mumbled, shoving a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "It's not a r
