Hasty Feisty ch. 49 | CALM BEFORE THE STORM
"It's more like a masquerade ball!"Amanda announced to Araoluwa at the long table while reading an email she received from a certain business organization that will host an event at the nightclub that would be similar to a masquerade ball."Really? We're invited to that?" Goro blinked. "Seems a little extra bro.""Nothing is extra, Goro," Hasen laughed. "My acquaintance owns that luxurious club in Tokyo. They're also hosting a little masquerade ball for their business event, and he decided to invite us, bringing us a special invitation letter.""Especially because Jin is the one who brought it!" Hasen laughed as he slung his arms around a certain man's shoulder who was sitting with them at the meeting table."U-uh, it's not really that necessary. I just issued the invitation. I can go home now!" Jin said as he scratched the back of his neck. He'd just returned after months away and is Araoluwa's most trusted friend. I had never interacted with him before, but I had seen him once just
Hasty Feisty ch. 50 | USE IT FOR GOOD
Even though it was too late, I dashed upstairs to the VIP room, swearing in my head at what a bizarre coincidence it had been."Allura? What happened to you?" Amanda asked as they were sitting on the couch relaxingly while gambling and drinking.But my brows furrowed in analyzation, quickly noticing that half of the Araoluwa executives were drunk, inebriated, and barely sober or conscious. I know what kind of people Araoluwa are, and when they hear that one certain word, they'll be easily agitated. They're aggressive, and they lose control of themselves, especially from alcohol.And I never want to see Araoluwa and Regio together... fighting. It'll cause more chaos and it'll be a bloody scene. All of those horrid scenes flashed in my head, and my heart pounded in fear. "Nothing, it was just a hallucination." I said as I went back to their couch."Oh— are you sure? You look like you just saw a ghost." Amanda commented."Hey, Allura, calm down with the alcohol." Hasen said while gambli
Hasty Feisty ch. 51 | FEUD AFTER ELUDE
Six men entered the hallway where the venue is located, and they all wore their masquerade masks to cover their faces.As they walked in, a large wooden double door was presented to the venue, but there was a worker guarding it."A pleasant night to meet you, sirs. Here for Mr. Mel's event?" The worker greeted them as he checked the invitation list.Toshiro scoffed under his mask. "What do you think? Maybe he needs a little company.""Pardon? If you're not invited, I'm sorry, only invited people are allowed inside the venue, sirs." The worker said. "Mr. Mel even gave us photos and names of the people invited."Some of the guys clenched their jaws in irritation, while others rolled their eyes under their masks from this giddily feigning professionalism, stoic façade worker or whatever, and their patience was slowly losing."Well then sirs, may you all please take your masks off so that I can verify—""We're invited." Zacharias walked up to him."I don't see your names on the invitation
Hasty Feisty ch. 52 | FIGHT IN VIGOR
"Okay," I grunted while pulling my Kumpur. "I'll agree to fight with you.""Oh really?" He smirked as he stretched his knuckles, which emitted a loud cracking sound, and he also grabbed his pocket knife, similar to mine."Really." I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes as I took out my pocket knife from my dress and twirled it around my fingers then unfolded the knife.And there, we both started running toward each other at such speed with enraged, searing eyes while aiming the knife at him."I'm not a saboteur, Allura." He grinned while running towards me. "I'll break every part of you.""Leo, you fucker!" I shouted.SlashThey slashed each other in the face with each other's knives as they ran up to each other, cutting a wound in Leo's and Allura's cheeks.Leo used the advantage of grabbing my knife as I stumbled back on the floor from the deep wound on my cheek.I groaned but quickly composed my vigor and ran up to him as I wrapped my arms around his waist and used that as leverage
Hasty Feisty ch. 53 | GAME OVER
And there, the doors closed with a loud thud.My head was hung low as I kept my gaze fixed on the ground, refusing to move even though the room was silent and I felt burning gazes on me which I didn't want to look at.Suddenly, I felt a tug on my wrist which made my body face him, but I didn't move my head at all."Allura," Zacharias called as he was holding my wrist.I didn't answer, as I kept my eyes on the floor."Quit being stubborn, yeah?" Dominic yawned as he puts his hands inside his pockets, straightening his posture while walking around me."It'll get worse, I tell you." He whispered from behind."Shut the fuck up." I whispered in the most inaudible tone I can get."Did you say something?"And there, I felt Lorenzo lift me off the floor and then carry me on his shoulder, so I was taken aback."Put me down." I gritted my teeth."I said put me down you fucking cunt." I muttered as I hit his back frantically and kicked my legs."Put me do—!" I was about to protest until I felt h
Hasty Feisty ch. 54 | REMORSE
It was a chilly breeze with the howling of owls, and crickets chirping, with just the moon beaming above and candles providing the only source of light in the tranquil cemetery.The cold crept like ice into my skin, but I shook it off by rubbing my arms repeatedly. It's the middle of the night, and despite the fact that hours have passed, I'm still sitting alone in front of a gravestone.Even though it had been at least a day since I returned to Regio's mansion, I insisted on paying someone a visit. Luckily, here I am.I took one of the candles and lit it, but it was soon blown off by the wind. Before dropping my words and chatting with the gravestone, I gave a bitter smile."I hope you're still listening to my stories, Azazel."I spoke while looking at the tombstone, his tombstone."I'll be the one telling you stories now since you didn't get to continue telling your stories to me."It's been hours... hours of talking to the gravestone as if he's there."It's been a year now?" I murm
Hasty Feisty ch. 55 | PARALUMAN
After a few hours, I'm still sleeping on the bed with Zacharias, and the heavy rain and thunders have stopped. As I woke up, I drowsily opened my eyes and lifted my head to see that the weather had calmed down, but it was still dark outside, and Zacharias was still embracing me in deep slumber. Suddenly, I remembered the walkie-talkie that I took beside Azazel's grave. Slowly and carefully, I removed Zacharias' arms around me and tiptoed out of the bed to get the walkie-talkie on the cabinet. I carefully opened the cabinet door as I grabbed the walkie-talkie, then sit at the corner of the room on the cold floor while trying to figure out how to work the device. A recording chip is peeking from it, and I slowly press it. My eyes widened as I heard Azazel's voice from the recording. Oh, how I dearly missed it... I almost forgot what he looked like and what his voice sounds like. For once again, I remembered him.And as the recording starts... hearing Azazel's voice once again, I
Hasty Feisty ch. 56 | GET TO KNOW YOU
I felt my breath leave my lungs as I heard the recording.I'm now lying down on my bed after staring at the thin air while sitting in the corner of the room for almost an hour, leaving the walkie-talkie locked inside the cabinet as it brings me chills, either from the cold weather or from the recording itself.The loud thunder didn't even daunt me. I tried to sleep, turning around on my bed, and wrapping a pillow around my head while stuffing myself beneath the blankets. The recording left me in guilt that makes my chest heavy. I feel a lump in my throat forming as tears form in my eyes from the fear and torment that is starting to wrap around my head. I turned my back to Zacharias to cover my mouth, attempting to hide my uncontrollable cries, hiccups, and weeps, fearing Zacharias would hear me and wake up.But Zacharias is fully awake and heard everything, even the recording.Again, guilt.--The morning quickly came, and last night's thunder made me heavily asleep until the morning

Any person would freak out if they see this church, even the village itself. Anyone wouldn't dare to go here. But Zacharias and Allura? Why would they be? This place is what they call a beauty, yet none of them admitted that. They kept it to themselves like a secret. Just like before. As to why Zacharias regretted things now. He was indeed too late. "Let's enter?" I asked. "Let's go to the garden," but a different thing was in his mind. "A garden?" I tried to remember what it was. "I'll be left here alone, Ms. Marin. I'll just be waiting here." Willbert said and I just nodded but kept I phone with me. As Zacharias and Allura entered the church, he opened the rusty wooden double door, directing them to the church's garden. There, it shows an old patio, a rusty table and chairs, a cracked small stone fountain, a fence filled with webs now, and those fairy lights still hanging on the tree's branches. My eyes widened as I remember all of these in one place. Why was knowing my p
Hasty Feisty ch. 99 | BACK TO THE FORGOTTEN YOU
"She'll never arrive ten minutes early." Toshiro said as he looked at his wristwatch. Zacharias and the others have been waiting inside the van for over thirty minutes. They complain about the time, but they're always too advanced of arrival. Just like any other business trip, they'd all gathered to check that place discussed in the meeting the other day. "Ms. Marin is here," Kanji said, addressing me... formally. "Just came in time." I thought as I greeted each of them and also introduced Willbert to them, the secretary. As Zacharias continued to attempt to avoid her, he couldn't help but notice this one new behavior she developed. Allura never arrive early yet late, but instead, she's always arriving at the exact time. He just gave me a nod and a formal handshake as I then walked out to ride in my car to just follow them to the place. "Now I know the reason why you kept on rejecting Dias Corporation's offer," Kanji muttered. As the van began to drive toward their destination
Hasty Feisty ch. 98 | YOU, US, BACK TO SUMMER
"Mom, I'm sorry, I couldn't convince that large company to continue the partnership." I said on my phone while I'm currently in my room, and Eri is out of town for business matters, so it's me who's handling the company for now. Eri kept silent for a moment, and my brows furrowed as I looked at my phone screen to check if the call has ended. "Mom? Are you still there?" "Oh, yeah. I'm still here," Eri mumbled, and her tone was monotonous. "Is everything alright there? I should tell Secretary Willbert to escort you there. I can handle the company here." I said, sounding worried. "No, it's fine. I've already spoken to the company you've been mentioning for the past few days, too." Eri said. "Really?" My eyes shone. "I'll surely give you half of my shares when we continue the partnership, but of course, I need to give an outlook to their employees first. We can't just trust the human resources team sometimes." Eri really had no energy left ever since that day Allura asked her abou
Hasty Feisty ch. 97 | FIVE STRINGS APART
They say everything that was done in haste will go to waste.Ever since he saw a glimpse of her, everything felt like reverting from the start.Last week, Friday night, the same exact night where he saw her again. No, he couldn't be mistaken. It was really her.He's at his firm's office, sitting in his office while gazing outside the glass window from the fifty-seventh floor."Sir Sano," one of his employees called.Expecting to sign a fresh set of documents on his desk, Zacharias turned in his chair and tapped his desk."Toshiro, just place them," Zacharias told in almost a whisper."How's your medication?" Toshiro was actually about to ask this. Not bombard Zacharias with tons of paperwork again.Zacharias just nodded and rubbed his eyes as he yawned. "It's alright.""Alright? I've heard from the doctors that you've been skipping your medication." Toshiro said."Then I'll take one today. You can go now, thank you." Zacharias simply said."Wait. Have you told Kanji about the new part
Hasty Feisty ch. 96 | THE GLIMPSE OF TOMORROW
"More?"The bartender asked as I was getting myself wasted on the bar's counter."One more shot," I groggily said as my head was lying down on the counter.The bartender looked at me cluelessly at my state. "A heartbreak?""Hell? Fuck no," I scoffed."My bad. Usually the customers who get wasted, slumping themselves down on that counter are going through a breakup. I believe it's a curse now." He joked."Well, I am not. Just fill my glass up... Goddamn," I grunted as I clank my shot glass on the counter."Alright, alright," the bartender said as he hurriedly filled my glass up. I grabbed the glass from him, and he's just standing there as I gulp the shot of gin straight."Ma'am, seems like your phone has been ringing for minutes now," the bartender said as he noticed the constant dings and rings on my phone beside me.I raised my head lazily as I checked my phone with my squinted eyes.74 missed calls from Erianne Dhiore59 missed calls from Zane WilbertAnd more missed calls from my
Hasty Feisty ch. 95 | A SLOW REVELATION
"It's impressive, Madame Allura, the company in the meeting a while ago backed out of their contract."Secretary Zane Willbert said inside my office, and he's also the secretary of Eri."Yeah," I simply replied while I was busy signing the files."Uhm, do you know that company has been pestering us for almost a month? They kept on insisting on pushing this future plan of theirs and the partnership." Zane informed."Why am I only informed now?" I stopped with my work and looked at him."Madame Dhiore told me not to inform you since she wants the higher positions to handle this. She didn't want to add up more work for you." Zane said."Next time, tell her to have her inform me of every audit that takes place within the company." I commanded."Yes, madame.""Also, madame. Since you refused that company's offer, do you want to move forward with the next company?" Zane asked as he took his iPad out to list information."The background of their company?""They're also a company that focuses
Hasty Feisty ch. 94 | THE COMPANY'S PRIZED POSSESSION
"Madame Allura!"I woke up the next morning feeling nausea washing over me. As soon as I got out of bed, I heard frantic knocks on my door and someone calling me.Fixing my hair and appearance for a bit, I opened the door since it seemed like the maids were calling me in a rush."Secretary Willbert Zane has been calling you. Eight o'clock is close, and you're going to be late for your supposed meeting, madame!" The maids shouted."Fuck," I cursed under my breath."Tell Secretary Zane that I'll be there in thirty minutes," I hurriedly added as I closed the door and proceeded on getting ready.After forty minutes of getting ready, even if I'm told that I'll be finished within thirty minutes, I quickly prep myself and ate at least small portions of breakfast before going out of the house."Ah shit, mom will kill me." I thought. I know that my stepmother Eri is the one that holds the highest position in the company, and of course, there will be times when she needs to take her role. She m

Ten years later..."The rise of Dias Corporation! Cheers!"The workers of Dias Corporation clanked their bottles as they commemorated a special day for the company inside a restaurant."Madame Marin... All of us look up at her hard work." Eri's workers said with genuineness."I never doubt how I grew my daughter. She deserves the position in my company." Eri said as she sipped the glass of wine.After being admitted to the hospital ten years ago, Eri immediately entered my name in her company. Of course, it wasn't that easy. I had to attend therapy, take my prescription every day, and take extra lessons.It was like I was at university again, studying business courses for a brief period of time but also needing to join the civil service and earn a degree in business management to secure the position. Even though Eri, my stepmother, had to cover all of my expenses, it wasn't simple to attend classes while still keeping up with my health."Cheers to Ms. Allura Marin, our general manager
Hasty Feisty ch. 92 | THE GLIMPSE OF YESTERDAY
They say, at the end of the day, it's the people who are capable of achieving their wants, dreams, and affords that will only survive.And years later...It's only those people who are sane, and who still have a space in mind for serenity.They think it's okay to survive in this world, but what's engulfing them is the feeling of dread and loneliness as they grow old.It was a mixture of emotions, honestly. It's overwhelming."Kanji, how was it?" Toshiro asked as he entered Kanji's office in his firm.The two knew it was best for the group to disband. They felt like it was the best option. It's a horrendous era for them, and they have to end it.Kanji didn't notice that he was dozing off, so Toshiro had to call his attention thrice. "Kanji?""O-oh," Kanji shook his head. "Sorry, what was that?""I said, how's the convention, a while ago?" Toshiro asked."Ah, it's alright. Just a few errands here and there," Kanji replied as he placed his phone on his office table while turning his phon
