KAYLA “ What do you mean by that?” He stopped what he was doing and focused on me. “ I had planned to abort the mission and stay with Ricardo. There was no debate on whose side I would pick if I were asked,” I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eye as I stated. “ Wasn't Ricardo supposed to be some sort of aggressive, womanizing jerk? How did you end up being swooned by him?” He looked slightly pissed. “ Or are you attracted to those sorts of guys? Is that some kind of kink or something?” He bombarded me with questions. “ He's not exactly what they told us. As much as he's into illegal dealings, he has a personality of his own,” I explained, circling the top of my coke can with my index finger. “ I would be lying to say he wasn't somewhat toxic initially though,” I admitted. “ So you like red flags?” He just wouldn't drop it. “ Honestly, he was a red flag sometimes and a green flag other times. It's safe to say I'm fine with a beige flag,” I

KAYLA I stared at my hand which was now in his possession - it felt warm. He pulled me from the crowded lobby to a less populated area. “ Now, you can lead the way,” he gave me the go-ahead, his hand still holding onto mine in his pocket. “ I get it, so you can let go of me now,” I tried to pull my hand away but he wouldn't budge. “ Nope, don't trust you enough to,” he shrugged. “ What am I? Some little kid?” I frowned. “ Maybe… Probably,” he always responded in the most unbothered ways. “ Fine,” I admitted defeat. “ Let's head over here, I wanna check something's out,” I pointed towards the direction I wanted to go and he followed without any objections. I looked around the place with glittering eyes as I wowed in awe of a lot of things. “ If you want them, you can just get them,” he looked at me like he couldn't quite understand what my deal was. “ I know you wanna spoil your best friend and all but we don't have inf

KAYLAA week later I stood in front of my full view mirror in my room as I checked out my suit. I did my best to look good but I couldn't mask my fear and lack of sleep. How could I sleep when today was D-day? “ I'm about to die of fear,” I buried my face in my palms. Just then, my phone rang. “ Hello?” I didn't look at the caller’s ID before answering it. “ How could you not know who's calling you, idiot? Did you unsafe my number by any chance?” Miro’s voice was as clear and interrogative as ever. “ Why would I do that?” I sighed, not having enough strength to even bicker with him today. “ I answered without looking at who it was,” I explained. “ For an agent, you're anything but careful,” he rubbed salt on my wounds. “ You're not helping matters right now,” I sighed, sitting down on my bed and rubbing my forehead. “ You know what day it is today right?” “ Yes, the day you are to receive your verdict from the disciplinary committee,”

KAYLA I walked into the agency's building with Miro by my side. As I walked through the lobby, whispers came from every corner with staff members staring at me some looking at me pitifully and others in disdain. I had initially thought I would be able to handle the judgement I would receive once I return but seeing and hearing everything they were saying hurt. I was disappointed in myself more than I was even ashamed. I had tons of regrets which I had convinced myself that it was out of my hands. “ She's really shameless showing up like this here,” “ Shhh! I heard she's here for disciplinary action,” another hushed. “ Serves her right. I wonder what punishment she'll receive,” the first lady snickered. “ Don't forget the chief is her dad. She might barely face any punishment,” another accused. “ Chief Jonathan doesn't seem like the type that would do such. He's probably too ashamed of her to even look her in the eye talk more of defendin

KAYLA With my eyes still fixed to the reflective white floor, I let the awkwardness and disdainful atmosphere that came with my response die down. “ Ahem, let me go further,” the chairman cleared his throat to ease the unease. “ Why would you break one of the rules governing agents and fall for your target, Agent Kayla? You were already aware that it was against the rules, yet you proceeded to do it, can you say something in regards to this?” He questioned. “ I believe your question here is invalid, sir,” I blatantly stated. Murmurs erupted amongst them as they glared at me and held back from calling me all sort of names. “ You're the offender here, so what right do you really think you have to invalidate the chairman's question?” One of the disciplinary members pointed fingers. “ Raise your head while you answer to both, Agent Kayla,” dad's voice resounded in my ear as he ordered, making me to shudder. No, Kayla. You can't be afraid to ans

KAYLA Miro rushed into the meeting room the moment everyone else has left. I couldn't remained there crying. It hurt to lose Ricardo but it hurt more to realize just the value I held to my dad. “ I look like shit right now,” I cussed as I tried to wipe my tears away. They kept pouring no matter how much I tried. “ Kayla, are you alright?” Miro rushed towards me and pulled my hands away from my face once he noticed I was crying. “ You're going to make your eyes puffy if you keep rubbing them.” “ I'm sorry,” I apologized. “ There's no need to apologize but what really happened? What punishment were you given? Is it something terrible?” He bombarded me with questions. “ No, it's just like you had predicted. I was just suspended indefinitely,” I shook my head. “ So why are you crying?” He inquired, lifting my head and drying my tears with his handkerchief. “ It's my dad. I just realized that all this while, I had been wasting m

KAYLA I flipped my buzzing phone over to see what message Miro had sent to me. It had been a whole forty-eight hours since I had shut myself in. With puffy eyes and sluggish movements, I brought the phone to my face. “ I know you told me that you wanted space for now but please just answer me every once in a while. I came to your house yesterday and you wouldn't open up and neither did you pick my calls. Are you alright?” He texted. Even from his text I could sense his nervousness and anxiety. I knew I didn't deserve him as a friend for keeping him at bay like this but I really wasn't ready to see anyone. “ Yes, I'm fine. I told you before that I just needed some time off,” I texted back, the screen light being the only thing lighting up the house. “ You did say so but I can't help but worry. Ever since I told you the truth… maybe I should have lied to you,” he sounded regretful, typing back instantly. “ It's alright. I would hav found out o

KAYLA My eyes had been shut for quite a while now, was I finally dead? But if I was should I be able to hear my thoughts? Th n again, if there really is an afterlife, I should be able to hear myself like this. Maybe this was the last phase of losing consciousness. I wondered how Miro would react once he realizes what I've done. I could hear voices as I fell into the void that seemed like a bottomless pit. I couldn't make out the voices though and honestly, I just wondered when I'd stop falling and finally get to see something else. Or could it be that this was all to the afterlife? That would be rather disappointing. And just as my thoughts swayed back and forth between theories, my eyes fluttered open into a squint. I was met with a blinding light and a white surface. Was this what it looked like after death? A white room? I tried to move but my body felt heavy and wouldn't respond. My eyes even could barely keep themselves open even though they were just slightly

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
