Favorite Crime 29: Business
People eventually forgot about the little scene that the middle-aged woman caused at the counter earlier, fortunately. Though that did not mean that some of the people would stop throwing secret glances on the green-haired woman.Olivia let out a silent sigh as she slightly furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed how some of the people were either giggling or looking terrified while looking at the woman who was scrolling on her phone right across her.“So…” Dakota immediately lifted her gaze from the screen of her phone. “What are you doing here in the mall?”“For some business,” she simply answered as she slipped her phone back in her pocket.The blonde nodded in response, not wanting to be nosy about it. The memory of meeting Leo earlier kept reappearing in her mind as she thought of telling the woman across her about it though she was having hesitations about it for some reason. Dakota had never talked to her about Lia and Leo, so she could not completely confirm that they were in t
Favorite Crime 30: Shot Heart
Thinking about Olivia stopped being Dakota’s full-time job ever since she got out of juvenile detention center—it only became a part-time job now as she had plenty of things to handle for her gang.A week had passed since the green-haired woman saw the blonde though she did not really notice it because of how busy she had been in handling her businesses. One of the members of her gang ending up as a traitor in exchange of money made them busier than ever as they had to trace every person that he had been in contact with in case he spilled the information about their drug business to people other than the boss of Blood Trouble, which was the second most powerful gang in Flyve City and Dead Soul’s main rival.After receiving a call from Ruby, Dakota did not waste any time as she immediately told Knives to come with her to the location that her rival gave for them to meet up. Since they would surely be talking about drugs, it was already expected that they would be going to a place that
Favorite Crime 31: Poisoned Apple
The two scariest women in the country stood across each other with completely different expressions on their faces. It was like how the gloomiest person that resembles the dark night finally meets the brightest person that resembles the shining sun.“You tricked us,” Dakota spoke, ignoring what the latter had just said.“Not really. I know you wouldn’t die anyway.” Ruby let out a chortle.The green-haired woman internally rolled her eyes as she returned her gun back in her blazer. “So, what do you want? Don’t tell me you just called us here to try to kill us?”“What if that’s right?” The green-eyed woman playfully smirked as she stepped closer to the latter and dusted her blazer before resting her hands on the taller woman’s broad shoulders.“Just tell me what you want.”Ruby let out a chuckle in amusement at how short her rival’s patience was, and she loved it—she loved the fact that she was literally annoying her.Dakota just calmly stood still on her place even while Ruby was cares
Favorite Crime 32: In Life
The sound of the elevator arriving to the desired floor rang as the two women blankly stared at the steel door, waiting for it to open. The fancy lights greeted them as they stepped out to the lobby where plenty of people were roaming around in.Everything about the hotel screamed expensiveness as by the looks of it, one could guess that booking a hotel room for one night would undoubtedly cost more than 200 dollars. The polished cream tiles were shiny under the light that came from the big chandeliers on the ceiling. There were couches with the best material found in the country on the corner for guests to wait.All the hard work that Dakota had spent for the past years were worth it as she was able to build one of the biggest hotels in Flyve City. Keeping herself busy only for her gang business would be a bit risky so she decided to create a hotel business to cover up Dead Soul.One of Dakota’s men told her that someone who claimed to be important was waiting for her at the lobby wi
Favorite Crime 33: Truth Splash
Aside from having dinner with her father and stepmother, the other kind of dinner that the blonde hated the most was with people whom she had no sincere relationships with.As soon as Olivia’s shift was over, she was supposed to head back home when she received a phone call coming from one of the people that she never expected to be speaking to again after a decade.Even if she told them plenty of times that she was exhausted from work, they did not care as they continued to insist her on coming. With how they were using manipulation to make her come made her realize that karma was definitely getting her at that moment. Olivia used to make people do whatever she wanted by manipulating her back then, and now she was the victim.When Theodore’s name was brought up, the blonde could only let out a sigh before finally agreeing to come to the dinner. She was still upset about what he said back at the dinner with their families even though she stopped making it obvious and kept acting like
Favorite Crime 34: One Step Forward
“WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!”It was a wrong move actually. Anyone, whether they knew or not, who dared to stand up against Dakota Soul would be doomed.“What the hell are those staff and guards even doing? Get this psycho out of my sight!” Mia yelled after Ashleigh as she trembled out of coldness and anger.But no one listened to them. The employees and guards just stayed to where they were at while looking at them with utter surprise because of the fact that their boss just literally came up to get involved in a fight of a group of women and the fact that the three women were literally being disrespectful toward their boss.A smirk appeared on the face of the green-haired woman as she slammed the pitcher on the table, which made the them jolt in shock, and leaned closer to them while uttering in a low voice, “People who cause stupid scenes are not allowed in my hotel, and I would never tolerate people like you.”“Y-Your what?” Mia dared to speak though the angry look on her
Favorite Crime 35: More Sins with Her
Confusion. Temptation. Cluelessness.There were three main emotions that the blonde was feeling at that moment as she froze on her spot while everything seemed to turn in slow motion, like she was being brought to another world where time did not exist.She knew that what was currently happening was morally wrong. No one should even know what was going on in that deluxe suite.When Dakota noticed how the latter completely froze on her spot out of surprise, she was snapped back to reality as she quickly pulled back. She swallowed as she stared at her with her eyes slightly widened, feeling as if she had just committed a sin.“Fuck. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—” Her sentence was not able to be complete when she felt the latter’s hand pull her nape as their lips reattached.At that moment, Olivia got rid of everything that was heavily weighing in her mind and on her chest from guilt as she shut her eyes and let herself be brought to a completely different world where it was only the two
Favorite Crime 36: Never-ending Surprises
Her hands could not stop fidgeting on her lap as she tried to be patient as possible while time continued to pass.Since Olivia had a huge resentment toward her father and stepmother, it easily spread to her whole family that she would never want to associate with any of her family if ever that was possible. None of them were either clueless on what was currently happening with Olivia and her parents or were just pretending to be clueless while still knowing what was going on—either way, none of them ever bothered reaching out to help her, to tell her father about how he was an awful father and that she should not be trapped under his shadow for the rest of her life.The blonde stopped fidgeting when she saw a familiar woman with a white pixie haircut on her way to her table. Whether she liked it or not, she had no choice but to stay connected with any of her family.“I know we sometimes talk in family events, but I don’t think we were ever that close for you to call me out of the blu

Favorite Crime Epilogue
In another place. In another fate. In another universe. Dakota wakes up on her squeaky single bed. It is another day to start the day. She gets up from her bed and heads straight to the bathroom to begin brushing her teeth. Her clothes that she will be using for the day is already prepared inside her small wooden closet. If only her room is only for herself, she would have bought a bigger closet. Dakota looks at herself on the mirror one last time once she is completely ready to leave. She runs her hand through her newly dyed orange hair and lets out a sigh, realizing what her new hair color means. A new hair color means a new chapter. And the new chapter in question is a new semester. Dakota walks out of the dormitory and joins the flock of students entering the university where she studies at. Her dream is just beginning as she stares at the huge logo of her university at the gate. “Hey! What time does your class start?” She looks at the person who suddenly appears next to her
Favorite Crime 60: Last I Love You
The venue that was filled with delightful laughter and loud music was now filled with screams of terror and gunshots. The sudden change was like parkour.It seemed that it was going to be the biggest war to occur in Flyve City as the two most powerful gangs all came to fight.“Dead Soul vs. Blood Trouble” was about to be included in the future history textbooks.Dakota pulled Olivia to hide behind a rectangular that was pushed down to serve as a barricade instead of a furniture to hold food. She would take a peek and shoot the enemies that she could see, while the blonde would use whatever object she finds near her to hit whoever tries to get close to them. They were being great teammates. It was no wonder they became partners in crime.“Fuck you,” the blonde hissed as she hit the man’s head with a silver pot as hard as she could which caused him to fall unconscious.Olivia was panting from the exertion as she stared at the man lying on the floor in his unconscious state. A body was s
Favorite Crime 59: Party Night
Just when the blonde thought that she was already completely falling into the void, the light came reaching out to grab her hand. Everything that happened all at once in one night was doing more to her than devastation that it was like each of them were throwing attacks on her until she ended up on the edge of a cliff—until she lost her balance and started to fall down to the never-ending hole with no one to catch her.Until she came to catch her.Olivia felt more than a hundred times better as she let herself totally fall into the taller woman’s embrace, wishing that the latter would just hold her and never let her go forever until she becomes okay again.The green-haired woman did not speak as she just hugged her tightly and gave her gentle pats on her back, letting the blonde cry as much as she wanted to. There was nothing that the gang boss could do but to just be there for her—because that was what Olivia only needed at that moment. Someone to hold her and make her realize that t
Favorite Crime 58: Living Nightmare
It all started on their sophomore year in high school. Theodore and his possessiveness of Olivia.They were already teenagers which meant that they were hitting puberty. The moment when hormones are developing to a new stage.“Give me your number.”Classes had just ended and they were all leaving school when a man with a man in junior year stopped the blonde from leaving. A smirk painted on his face as he shoved his smartphone toward the girl who absolutely no interest in the guy that was standing arrogantly in front of her.“Bold of you to assume I’d give you my number,” Olivia scoffed. She was about to walk past him when he moved to stop her again, making her roll her eyes. “I said, no.”“Oh? You’re being disrespectful to your senior.” He gasped, acting shocked at her response. “Girls like you need to be taught a lesson.”“What if I teach you a lesson?” Olivia threw a glare at him. She had to look up a bit because of their height difference.“In a kinky way?” His smirk grew wider as
Favorite Crime 57: Masks
A week passed by quickly since that day.Even though Dakota had always been softhearted to Olivia to the point that she could overlook every mistake she does, it was a first for the gang boss to stop being clingy for a while after a conflict.Dakota was speechless and shocked after finding out about how Olivia had to do things that she did not want to do for the sake of protecting her and their two friends. Dakota knew that Olivia was a changed person, but never did she imagine the blonde to be selfless for a decade just for her.The possibility of the two of them being in more danger by being together again made the gang boss suddenly snap back to reality. They were not the main characters in a love story with a happy ending, that was the fact. Dakota loved Olivia, but she was just realizing that it was wrong even though the thought of that hurt her a lot.The gang boss drove the blonde near the café that was near the hospital after finishing their lunch which happened quickly unlike
Favorite Crime 56: Marionette
Everything that happened seemed to be fast. It felt like the first day that the blonde started to date Theodore was yesterday. It felt like the day that Theodore first confessed his feelings for her was just two days ago. It felt like she was just suddenly brought to the future in a split second with how everything had not been done processing yet.The blonde stared at the orange soda in the glass that she was holding as she swirled it around, watching the bubbles produce because of the release of carbon dioxide from the soft drink. She was told to watch TV to kill time though she did not even bother turning it on. Her head was currently full that she could not bear to let more things enter her brain from the television which contained plenty of things.“Hey, are you okay?” Olivia looked up and saw the green-haired woman with a curious and concerned look on her face as she sat down next to her while placing their food on the table in front of them.“Yeah, I’m fine,” the blonde replied
Favorite Crime 55: Unexpected Surprise
There were plenty of eyes around especially as it was daytime and the place was literally close to the hospital. Because of that, it really had become more difficult to meet up even though they wanted to.But it was not like that would stop them.The blonde walked in the café with a blank face. She had a natural posture and a calm expression on her face as she went to order a cup of cappuccino at the counter. It was currently work hours so there were not much people in the café except for people who were either having their break time from work or were just jobless.Olivia gave the barista a brief smile as she thanked him for her coffee before walking to a vacant table that was on the corner of the room, far from the entrance. She took out her phone and sipped on her coffee as soon as she sat down.“Do you even ever get a drink other than cappuccino?” On the opposite side of the room was a green-haired woman in a black leather jacket seated at a table while facing her laptop with a cu
Favorite Crime 54: Unreciprocated Mutual
The blonde was in deep concentration, processing the documents that started to stack because of her absence for a week. She realized how taking leaves at work were not always fun because the happiness would only stay for a specific duration, and she would later be in hell that’s hotter than before once she goes back to work.Olivia did not even notice someone entering her office because of how busy she was with her eyes glue on the computer screen, switching from the device and to the documents that were on her desk. She nearly jumped from her seat in surprise when the person knocked on her desk, making her finally look up and acknowledge the person’s presence.“Oh, Theo,” Olivia uttered as she leaned back to her seat and took her cup of coffee to take a sip on it. It was a good thing that the latter came by to her office because that would mean that she had to stop working for a while, which means that that would be her only break. “What’s up?”“Why didn’t you tell me that you had a
Favorite Crime 53: Life Trade
What was more romantic than a dinner reservation in a fast-food restaurant with a neat table that was fixed with a candle and folded napkins? Homemade dinner that would be cooked together.The rest of the night together was supposed to be romantic with the two women cooking their dinner together at the gang boss’s home.But it was not as romantic as expected.“Am I supposed to cut them like this?” asked the blonde after struggling to have her third cut on a single piece of potato.“What does it look—oh god.” The green-haired woman pursed her lips in as she gently pushed the latter aside and took the knife from her. “You’re even holding it wrong.”“Oh! I was?” She could not believe that Olivia was genuinely shocked at her statement.“Yeah. It’s basic knowledge that knives are held by the handle and not the blade,” Dakota spoke with a smile on her face to not make things serious. “It’s okay. I’ll handle it here. Just go wash the lettuce.”“Roger.” Olivia then went to the sink to finish
