Foxy And Her Guardian 53: The War Between the Brothers
That sinking feeling that makes one feel heavy – so heavy that turning into weightless fog seems like an easy escape, that’s how Faith feels when she came face to face with Mateo. The kiss, the rejection, the pain, the embarrassment – all rushed back to her the second her eyes met Mateo. She gulped and quickly avert them. She fidgets her fingers while looking everywhere but the man, who doesn’t have any plans of doing the same as her. Unlike her, he kept his eyes fixed on Faith.“So, how does this work?” Blaire asked – looking from Mateo to Kai. In the living room of Kai’s penthouse, he and Mateo sat on different couches. While Mateo was closer to his team, Kai was sitting at a distance – he doesn’t like to get too close to people and with so many people present in his living room – it was getting hard for him to stay in the room. Piper noticed Kai’s ill at ease, but she didn’t comment nor did she make a move to make him feel better because she doesn’t know how to do it without sendi
Foxy And Her Guardian 54: The Burns of Jealousy
Levi internally groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. He wrinkled his nose at his own words from last night, “I might just fuck you,” He flinched at the memory. Why did he have to say that? What was he thinking? He doesn’t have a problem with Ethan being a guy, the problem is that HE IS ETHAN. Levi feels like he has been losing his touch since he has been around Ethan more often, maybe he should ask Mateo to assign someone else with the psychopath. He can take over any other task. Ethan has been getting on his mind, and that’s just unhealthy. Where Levi is frustrated with himself, he is also frustrated with Ethan. No matter what Levi does, Ethan refuses to speak the name of the person that sent him here. His loyalty towards the said person is impeccable. Ethan refuses to name the person, but he hints how Levi should ask Mateo because he knows. Levi knows how manipulative Ethan is, but there was something about how Ethan told him to protect Faith from Mateo that makes him scratc
Foxy And Her Guardian 55: In Sickness And In Health
“Oh, God. I am so sorry, Blaire!” Faith exclaimed as Blaire glared at her while whipping her face for the third time. Blaire heaved a sigh, “Faith, this is the third time you sneezed on me. You are not okay. You are sick. Let’s end this here. You had enough for the day. Go to bed and rest, you need it.” Blaire very calmly stated. Faith wrinkled her nose, “I am fine. I guess it is just dust or something,” She shrugged – strapping the boxing gloves tightly around her wrist. Blaire rolled her eyes, “Faith, we are currently in Kai’s gym – this place is probably cleaner than the clean room,” She replied, just then Faith sneezed again. Blaire stepped away from Faith, “That’s enough. You are going back to your room,” Blaire sternly told Faith. Faith has been feeling a little under the weather since last night, but she didn’t think she was getting sick until this very morning. She has been sneezing since she woke up and feel like her throat was getting scratchy. Since it has been raining
Foxy And Her Guardian 56: Coconut Water
Faith had a fever. She also developed a cough. She didn’t want anyone to catch it, therefore she forbade everyone from coming to see her. She even asked Piper to stay away and leave her medicines and food on the door. She didn’t want to take a chance and pass the flu to someone else – especially Kai. Currently, Faith was laying under her blanket. Her eyes were burning and her body ached. She didn’t have a high fever, but still, it was there to make her feel down. She had already taken medicine to reduce her fever and had a bowl of chicken corn and broccoli soup for lunch. She kept her head levitated like her mother used to ask her to whenever she had a cough and runny nose. Now, as she lay in a comfy bed with no one to look after her – she feels helpless. She misses her mother the most today. If she was here, she would have made sure Faith was eating right. She would have made her tea. She would have given her medicines on time, and wouldn’t leave her alone even if Faith asks her to
Foxy And Her Guardian 57: Sweet Poison
Levi was correct. Ethan was being slowly poisoned. When Levi reached to see Ethan, he was curled on the floor as he rolled in pain. Ethan was drenched in sweat while he looked incredibly pale. He was groaning in pain but his eyes were closed – he didn’t even have the energy to open them – not even when Levi tapped on his cheeks. His white shirt was clinging to his skin. His hair was all wet from sweat. Levi wrinkled his nose when he entered the room. It smelled like vomit and sweat. Ethan has been living in his filth and pain the entire day. No one came to rescue him, apart from Levi. When Levi saw the condition Ethan was in, he didn’t think twice before carrying him to his small bed. Ethan was groaning in pain while he clutched his stomach as if even the tiniest movement pained him. Levi called the doctor immediately. He didn’t care if the odor was making his head throb, he just wanted to make sure Ethan lives.When the doctor arrived, he immediately asked Levi to change Ethan’s roo
Foxy And Her Guardian 58: Bad Faith, Good Faith
“You are here without Kai’s knowing about it,” Faith spoke as she watched Mateo walking around her room, collecting her clothes from the laundry from the chair and bed before neatly folding them. Mateo heaved a sigh, “I know,” He muttered without looking at her. “This is Kai’s penthouse,” She added. “I know.” “He will not like this,” Her eyes follow Mateo around the room. “I know.” “This is going to cause trouble for Piper,” She mentioned since Piper let him in without Kai’s permission. Mateo stopped and turned to look at Mateo before he nodded his head, “I know,” He replied. “I will try to talk to Kai. I hope he will understand.” “That’s a stupid plan that you and I both know is not going to work,” Faith replied. Mateo glanced at her and exhaled, “I know.” Faith rolled her eyes. After her crying session in Mateo’s arm, he brought her to bed where she slept quite quickly, probably due to the cold medicine she took earlier. She doesn’t know what he did while she took a
Foxy And Her Guardian 59: Sealed With a Kiss
“I need your help,” were the first words Faith said to Levi once he answered her call. Levi pulled his eyebrows together while he had his phone pressed to his ear, “Hello to you too,” He replied sarcastically. “How are you feeling now? All good?” He asked next. Faith huffed, “Yes, I have been well for a few days now,” She replied urgently, “Now, I want your help.” She repeated herself. Levi sighed, “With what?” “Mateo is hiding something from me. I don’t know what it is, but I need to know and you have to help me find it without getting your best friend involved,” She said. Levi squinted his eyes. He recalled what Ethan told him the other day about Mateo knowing who sent him to kill Faith, but Levi can’t let her know that. He doesn’t even know if Ethan was playing with him or if he was being honest. He lightly shook his head and scratched the nape of his neck, “I don’t know about that, Faith. I don’t think he is hiding anything from you that could harm you. Just trust him.”“I do
Foxy And Her Guardian 60: The Evil of Mateo
Faith broke her promise to Kai. After she went out of Kai’s office, Piper went in to talk to him about something, and that’s when Faith snuck out. She shouldn’t have done this to Kai or Piper, but there was no way she was staying in and waiting for Mateo to return. She is too curious to stay put. It was time to find answers on her own – even if that means she will be putting herself in danger. Faith put on a loose hoodie that belonged to her dead brother. She wore loose sweatpants and covered her head with a black cap, and hoodie – while her eyes were covered with black sunglasses and there was a black mask on her face. It wasn’t hard for her to sneak out of the building – probably because no one was focused on who comes out of the building rather than who goes in. She didn’t hesitate to bring her phone along with her – she know she can be tracked, but she didn’t make the mistake of leaving her phone behind – especially when she could be needing it at any time. Faith looked around t

Foxy And Her Guardian (END) Epilogue (Part 2)
A good day came months after. The people of the village finally got their freedom. When that happened, week-long celebrations were held at the village, and all of them were invited, especially, Faith, Mateo, and Kai. It was a joyous occasion. Even when everyone was dreading back where they all spend the worst days of their lives, of course, they went anyway. Hesitant at first, everyone had a great time. Faith had never seen the people of the village have such a festive spirit. It was truly a beautiful week. Faith spends most of her time with her grandmother, Kami, and his family. Benji didn’t want to go with them, but when Kami asked – he couldn’t say no. Lora (Kami’s sister) was there to welcome everyone. Everyone could see how excited Benji got when he saw her. Piper and Kai exchanged a knowing glance. Benji has a crush on Lora. He had it since he came here for the first time. After he returned to the city, he kept in contact with her in one way or another. Faith was happy to see
Foxy And Her Guardian Epilogue (1/2)
(One Year Later)Even today when Faith closes her eyes and thinks about her recent past, she can’t truly process it. She can’t believe that so much changed in the past couple of years. From losing her entire family to almost getting killed to find a new family – a new purpose – everything in her life was nothing less than a lesson – a brutal and painful lesson. Currently, she was sitting in a meeting along with Kai and Mateo – but they weren’t the only ones there. The three of them were hosts, while the other distant members of the Ricci and Bianchi clan, a few mafia leaders, and a couple of correspondents from the village were in the room. The debate was on – whether the village/island should be given its independence or not.Faith was sitting in between Kai and Mateo. She averted her gaze to the other side of the room where Kami sat along with a few young faces representing the village. Faith could tell that the young boy was nervous. She shoots him an assuring smile. Kami smiled ba
Foxy And Her Guardian 158: The Drunken Troublemakers
Kai didn’t say anything in return. He just impassively stared at Mateo before they were interrupted by Faith and Piper’s loud laughter. Both looked at the girls to find that Ethan had managed to pull Levi into the pool. He grabbed Levi’s ankle and pulled him in, making the water splash around and the girls laugh. Mateo heaved a sigh and shook his head as he watched his friend emerge from under the water, not looking much impressed. Noel was standing behind Levi when Ethan pulled him in, he was now watching them two. Ethan laughed and splashed some water towards him with his hand, “What are you doing up there loser? Get in!” Noel shook his head, “No, and you need to come out too.” He looks at all of them, “You all do. It is chilly and the water is cold,” he added. “It is not that cold,” Piper replied. It was because Kai switch on the heater to warm up the water, but that’s mean it was okay to be in a pool on a chilly night under the sky. Just at that moment, Piper sneezed. That was i
Foxy And Her Guardian 157: More Like A Family
Faith and Piper were wasted. If having one drink after another wasn’t enough, they were now drinking straight out of the bottle. “We should go swimming,” Faith slurred a suggestion to which Piper enthusiastically nodded her head, agreeing to it. Before anyone could stop them, an equally drunk Ethan got on his feet and threw his fist in the air, “Hell yeah! Let’s go!!” he yelled out and hooted. Everyone else was so concerned about Faith and Piper that they didn’t even notice just how much Ethan was drinking. These three were completely wasted. Noel was slightly tipsy. Where else, Levi, Mateo, and Kai only had a single drink so they weren’t drunk at all. They decided to stay sober to keep an eye on girls, and well – now Ethan as well. “Excellent,” Levi muttered under his breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. He moved to Ethan, who was swinging from one side to another with a bottle of one of the most expensive whiskeys in his hand. Kai glanced at the bottle in his hand. He didn’t
Foxy And Her Guardian 156: Let's Celebrate!
Faith was in her room, changing with there was a knock on her door. Her room was now filled with done and undone boxes. She will be moving out tomorrow and there is so much left to do. But currently, she wasn’t focused on it. She is certain that she will be able to pack before the movers arrive. She was concerned about the dinner party they were having tonight. Faith had already invited everyone and now she was changing for the night. By the knock on the door, she was certain that Mateo has arrived. She quickly picked up the clothes she threw on the floor and put them on the bed before she spoke, “Yes?” The door opened and indeed it was Mateo. He looked good. Fresh and well-rested. It took everyone over a month to get over what happened on the island. The exhaustion and trauma (for some) didn’t leave for days. Mateo was looking like he did when Faith first met him. The difference between then and now is that then he had a hard scowl on his face, and now he was smiling. Then he threw
Foxy And Her Guardian 155: Anything For Piper
“Are you all packed up?” Piper asked Faith who came to her room to visit. Faith looked at Piper and smiled. “Yes, almost. Just a few things are remaining to be packed,” she replied. In two days, Faith is moving in with Mateo. For the past week, she has been very busy. She didn’t realize how comfortable she has gotten at Kai’s place, that now that she was winding everything up here, she feels sad to be leaving. When she started packing, she was excited. For her, moving in with Mateo is like a new chapter of her life, but as she proceeded, she realized how uncomfortable yet relieving it is to end this brief, daunting, and challenging chapter of her life. Piper was sitting on the bed, reading, when Faith knocked on her door. She exhaled and smiled broadly at her, “So, are you excited?” She asked. Faith chuckled and sat on the bed beside her, “I am.” She nodded her head, “But I am also nervous. There are so many ifs and buts in my head that I can hardly sleep at night,” she replied hon
Foxy And Her Guardian 154: The Good News
“Thank you,” Piper hugged and thanked Faith, before she looked at Mateo, “Thank you both of you. I don’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for you two. I would have been living on the streets,” she added. “Hey!” “What the hell?” Levi and Kai spoke at the same time. Piper pulled her eyebrows together and looked at both of them. Kai was frowning while Levi stepped forward, “What do you mean you would have been on the streets? Are you kidding me? I would have never let you be on street. Damn, I thought you thought of me as a friend, but boy was I wrong.” Levi scoffed. Where Kai just watched her dumbfounded. She softly chuckled at Levi. “Oh, I would have never bothered you. You already got your hands full,” she told him bobbing her head towards Benji’s room. The door of Benji’s room was open and inside everyone can see Benji and Ethan playing video games. They were so engrossed by what they were playing that they didn’t even notice the people outside looking at them. Ethan and
Foxy And Her Guardian 153: The Crazy Ones
Kai squinted his eyes. When he was coming out of Piper’s room, he did not expect Faith, Mateo, and Benji right outside – watching him walk out of the room. Their curious gazes made him feel like he was sneaking out of her room after a one-night stand. Mateo was shamelessly smirking at him. Faith was curiously watching him, and Benji had his eyes narrowed at him. Kai cleared his throat and ignored Mateo’s comment and Faith’s question. He was about to tell them that they shouldn’t be so nosy when the doorbell rang. Faith and Mateo pulled their eyebrows together and looked at each other, “Who is here so early in the morning?” She muttered and watched as one of the helpers opened the door. It was Levi and Ethan. “What are you two doing here so early?” Mateo asked with his eyebrows knitted together. Levi didn’t look good. He looked like he didn’t sleep all night. Ethan looked tired as well, but not as exhausted as Levi. Levi glared at Ethan at Mateo’s question. Levi heaved a sigh. His sh
Foxy And Her Guardian 152: Back Together
Kai has been inside Piper’s room for an hour. He was now sitting on the floor while she was sitting on the floor as well but she sat by the window. She was watching outside the window while her knees pressed to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. While her eyes were fixed outside, Kai’s eyes were fixed on her. They have been talking for the last hour. No yelling or name was calling. There were no accusations, nor did they completely patch up – they were just talking, which was due for some time now. They fight. They have had sex. They have done everything, but they never get the chance to sit and just talk about themselves. About their insecurities, about their feelings, about everything they bring to each other. Piper last put forward a very interesting point, “Aren’t we toxic for each other? There is just too much we don’t agree on.” She had muttered. Her point was quite simple. She told him that even if Jeremy hadn’t attacked her or anyone else, and even if he was just try
