Grey's Rose Caged
I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
Grey's Rose Sweet Birthday
My name is Liliana Grey but since I joined the Terrance family I changed my name to Liliana Terrance. I was born and raised in America, California Los Angeles, but moved to New York when I got adopted back when I was 10. I was a college student taking psychology department in New York. I stayed at the dorm since it's near and to save myself from my oversleeping habit. Today seems to be my seventeenth birthday and I am planning to go back home to celebrate since the summer holiday is also heading near. I was walking in the hallway with tons of books to carry. I head to my locker and put the books inside easing my hand that has gone numb from carrying it. "Time to go home," I said as I smile and close the locker door. " I miss my mom home cooking. Ugh! I wish I can get home as soon as possible." I walk out of school and started my trip home. Not forgetting to remind my friend of my Party this night. I was getting ready for my party and I have been rummaging my closet f
Grey's Rose The Meeting
I was shocked and almost scream. Even though it's dark I was still able to see. Slightly he looks familiar but as I look again, that person turned out to be a handsome young man with black hair strokes with highlights of turquoise and a charming navy suit matching his style. White pale skin with a peachy plum lip. I didn't realize I was staring at him until he chucked, making me realize my action. I looked away blushing while he just chuckled again. He goes to me and taps my back as I face him halfway by only turning my body a little bit. He calmly asks me for my name yet somehow the way his eyes pierce makes my body shiver, I replied with my voice stuttering "Ar... Ahem. My name is Liliana Terrance. I am the one who hosts this party. Mind introducing yourself Mr ? " and he responds, "Oh... Right... my apologies. Where is my manner... my name is Alph
Grey's Rose Danger Zone
I saw Liliana dancing with a strange man who seems suspicious as if he had other ulterior motives. I put my eyes on her feeling like something is going to happen soon and not long he dragged her upstairs. I felt alert as I tap Neva's shoulder since he was still bickering with Trevor and Jaxon. This gained their attention once again as I told them that a man are taking Liliana upstairs and that girl is stupidly following some random guys around.As I said the news to Neva, his face immediately shows worry and anxiousness, "If that's the case then you better hurry and help her."With his word I felt weird emotion waves through, I was worried yet I didn't want to admit it as she was a stranger to me until a while ago. "Why me? ask Val! he is her friend, not me."As I said that I heard Neva sigh, "Val? look at him. He is still shocked like a paralyzed puppy. Do you think he can just suddenly man up and go to rescue her? Come on, dude! Just go!"As I heard that, I low
Grey's Rose I'm Kidnapped ?!
I was shocked to see Alpha right there with his shriveled black suit and his gun pointed at me and the other 3 guys. They slowly get up while raising their hand in the air. He then asks them to distanced themself from me while there is a lot of people who are scrambling at the back, trying to go out. But, One of them rushes towards me and grabs my right hand harshly, forcing me to stand up and got off the sofa then he put me in a chokehold while he pulls out a pocket knife and aims it at Alpha. The other two were long gone leaving the three of us alone in the room."BACK OFF MAN!! TROW YOUR GUN AWAY! DO IT NOW!!!"I was sobering up due to the rush of adrenaline. I'm scared and anxious as at that moment I was having a hard time breathing due to the chokehold. The man was walking slowly, full of alert, moving in a circle as Alpha follow suit but then slowly he raised his hand and slowly lower his gun down.With an ice-cold voice, Alpha spoke, "Stop it now you pric
Grey's Rose Who Are You ?
I woke up in an unfamiliar room with a classical vibe. It was dusty but neat with the sunlight passing through the window and the curtains flutter. Woking up with a painful shoulder and head was not pleasant but it all came to stop right when a memory of last night flashes. The bizarre scene, the rescue from Alpha, the argument about where to go, and suddenly is all gone black. Due to the rush of memory coming back I groaned as I felt pain in my head again. Seem like my head was filled with needles and it was about to explode. My thought was disturbed by the sound of someone clearing its throat. I shoot my head towards the sound and see that guy again, Alpha. He slowly walked towards me as my whole body trembles in fear. He was very intimidating in the black shirt with a leather jacket and jeans. As he realizes that I am now soberer he goes over to me. My body trembles in fear as he got near. " A-Alpha, why am I here? I want to go back home. P-ple-" He glare at me wh
Grey's Rose The Truth Untold
Since a month ago, I started to call Alpha his name since we're more familiar with each other and it seems like he doesn't mind me calling him that. I heard Jacob calling my name as I turn around to face him. He asks me to go and follow him as I stand up and go upstairs with him. At that time in the living room, Trevor and Jaxson shouted so loud that Neva goes to his mother mode again, while Lucas and Eddie act like they didn't hear anything other than the TV. Neva nagged them for being noisy and disturbing.As we reach the corridor, it was quieter. Jacob looks nervous and anxious as he asks me a question "I know you had your mom but other than her, do you have any relatives? Like you dad or brother?"I was confused as to why he had to ask when he already did a background check on me "Why? What makes you interested in my family?" I frown as I continued my question, "Didn't you do a background check on me already? You know my current mother is my stepmother right?"
Grey's Rose The Leaking Truth
I sigh and walked away, back to my brothers who are as loud as a zoo. I go to the furthest sofa and just sit back and close my eyes for a moment only to open them and saw what I wish I had never seen in my whole life. Trevor and Jaxson following the flirty scene in the movie while Lucas and Neva just laughing like a maniac. On the other hand, Eddie seems to have given up on them. I just sigh silently while smiling knowing that I still got them even if the world betrays me. Not long after we heard a loud thump from above and a glass shattering and some muffled screams were heard then suddenly everything was quiet. We all looked at each other and goes straight to her room, scrambling in the process. Back to Liliana Perspective, After finding Val's room I knock on the door and come in as he responds."Heyyy... Whatcha doing? Lucas said you've been here since this evening, you ok?" He sits up and smiles at me as he just nods at my remark " I'm good no problem.

Grey's Rose Jack-in-the-box
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
Grey's Rose Heartfelt
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
Grey's Rose Nightmare
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
Grey's Rose Anxiety
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
Grey's Rose Prey and Predator
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
Grey's Rose Three code
I was shocked seeing their reaction since I thought they were just playing some crack code. I come in seeing them argue about it like a child as if they're just playing or joking around. But then the moment I cracked the code, their face turn pale due to shock at the same time their eyes lit in excitement. This must be a big lead since they look like a baby that finally got his candy after crying for decades. Tim immediately dives into a mountain of documents, he scrambles through his documents, shoving and throwing them around. When he finally found it we find three names which are Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. These names don't sound familiar to me but then the moment they mention 'Lost Eden'. I somehow got the guise of it. These three must be someone that's crucial in finding whatever it is we need to find."Liliane, Go and call everyone to the meeting room, it starts in 30 minutes. Make sure everyone is there." Tim said as he once again buried himself
Grey's Rose Cracked
Still on Mikael's PerspectiveHe was telling a lot of information after getting beaten up half dead but he never answer the basic question ask which is his name. "Alright, that's good for now-" I said as drop the bat down but then he cut me off, "How do you know I won't lie?" I stop on my track and scoff at him, it's so funny to think he would bring this question now out of all time. "Tell us your name." He stayed quiet for a while before telling me. "I'm Danny Lance. now answer me. How?"I looked at him for a good minute before answering him, " Do you think we're stupid? We have our own intel and from what you said it matches, logically thinking your words won't be a lie unless you completely fanaticize your answer." after hearing my words, the baffled look on his face gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. "Good, now! one last question, Where's the money, Danny?" I continued.He flinches at my question but I don't give a fuck at this point because this que
Grey's Rose Pin-pointed
Mikael's Point of View,I was panting while being held back by Wuying. I shrugged him off as he was put back on his chair. I was filled with rage as he insult not only me but my country. In terms of mafia life, our country's origin represents who we are as an entity, that's why each mafia will harbor at least one or two of its country's culture as a worm of identity. With him insulting my country is the same as insulting my whole organization. I walk towards him as I bend down and hold his bruised face. "You fuckin bitch! Don't mess with me fucker. Tell us what you know or you'll wish I kill you right now."He chuckled at my threat as he spits his blood out and said, "Why? you're going to use that invisible torture thing? Do you think I'm afraid? You need me in order to find out who's behind this and you also need me to crack that code you found on the safe. Why do you think it's this easy to find the clue? Let's strike a deal instead. Unless you wanna kill me and lose
