Hasty Feisty ch. 76 | RETURN OF THE ROOT
Many people believe that the waiting room is the scariest room we can stay in.We'll feel unsettled, rushed, panicked, dreadful, terrified, frightened, trepidation, glum, and many more. Simply because we are waiting for a patient that is on the verge of death, not knowing how to feel, not knowing what to do except wait, wait, and wait while our hearts beat erratically.This is exactly how they feel, especially Zacharias Craig.These plain white empty walls can't signify the circumstances occurring at this moment, let alone his emotions that are now scattered on the ground. The ticking clock can't tell the time to the significant awaited moment."How long will it still take?" Zacharias asked, and it was the same question he had been asking repeatedly... but he was only asking it in his mind."No updates from the doctors yet," Toshiro informed him as if on cue when he walked inside the waiting room.Zacharias' chest tightened with each passing second, making it difficult to breathe, yet
Hasty Feisty ch. 77 | CALL OF CONTRACT
"Welcome, Madame Dhiore."The employees in the hospital greeted the prominent CEO of Dias Corporation, who is known since they cater to these kinds of sectors."Allura Marin, patient 111.""Please proceed this way." They guided them as they passed through the corridors.Eri kept a straight expression while walking straight, her heels clanking and her designer purse clutched. Nonetheless, when she approaches Allura's hospital room, she can't ignore the loud, rapid beating in her chest.Years had passed, yet she didn't even watch her grow after months of graduating from college. She couldn't wait to see what would be her first glimpse of Allura.As Eri went up the elevator and ascended to another level, where Allura's hospital room is, Zane followed Eri from behind as he informed her of some stuff."Careful, there is also a group of entourage from Regio," Zane cleared his throat. "We need to lay low.""I don't need to lay low. They're aware that I'm coming, so what's the purpose of me f
Hasty Feisty ch. 78 | HE FAILED IN THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE?
*FLASHBACKS*"Do you hear us? Do you hear how we are capable of anything, how much power we have?"True, all they said was true, everything was, and Allura hates how they were all true."While you have nothing."A mere person who has nothing but a controlled fate, rather.Allura's lips quivered in terror, and she was already begging for someone's life."Now tell us, will you accept the offer? In return for your stepmother's life?""I-I'll accept the offer..."And there, tears ran down her cheeks, feeling a heavy boulder on her chest."Only for my stepmother and parents.""Give her the contract." Zacharias commanded their workers."Yes sir."While she was seated, feeling clammy and unable to move, she felt a pang of guilt, yet indignation rise in her chest.*END OF FLASHBACKS*"I can tell that the only thing in her mind was you while she was signing the contract, but you had to pretend to be poor and made Allura think that all her hard work in school after she graduated was all useless
Hasty Feisty ch. 79 | PUPPETS AND STRINGS
"Haru, you're disappointing."Lazarus told in pure annoyance while leaning on their medic's metal bed frame. His injured arm is supported by a shoulder sling, and his neck is braced. There are noticeable bruises and scars, and a large white gauze around his head, almost covering his left eye."Utterly disappointing."Haru and Cedric are sitting in their private hospital room corner. Dark circles are visible around their eyes, expressions showing no glint, but enervation.Cedric, his situation right now? Well... ever since Asahi didn't come back, he didn't utter a single word.Asahi didn't really come back. He's gone. Long gone."Dammit!" Lazarus groaned, his voice echoing in the room. "Our mission failed, obviously. He's still alive, she's still alive! It's because of you two! Dumb fuckers!" He pointed at Haru and Cedric."How about you, Haru, huh? You let Lorenzo live?! Let alone each of them? You didn't even take one of them down?! Are you that fucking weak?! You had one fucking job
Hasty Feisty ch. 80 | GIVEN ENOUGH
The same beeping sound indicates Allura's life is still going off beside her hospital bed.In the same routine, the Regio executives will go back to their mansion, taking turns staying in the hospital room with Zacharias , who's not leaving the room under any circumstances.The situation was perilous, and he knew it very well.Anytime, anything can happen."You can go home anytime, you know? I called security. In fact, bodyguards are guarding by the door right now." Kanji muttered beside Zacharias. Some of the men are still inside, waiting for like an eternity.Zacharias didn't speak, just blankly staring at the walls beside Allura's hospital bed.Even so, some of the men also had these little arguments that occurred that until now they're unsure if they're fixed.Just like Zacharias and Dominic. Lorenzo and Leo. For the past few days, they've barely interacted with each other because of an argument.It was difficult to understand each of the men's façades at the moment, it's like imp
Hasty Feisty ch. 81 | THE SUN'S MEMORIES
FLASHBACK"'Yo! Mask, pst! Mornin', everyone!"Haru cheerfully greeted them as he walked inside their office. To say, he's like the sun in their workplace. He always brings smiles to the employees even if they're bombarded with stressful tasks.It's just like another usual day, with the sounds of mechanical keyboards, coffee machines whirring, phone calls, printer noises, and literally anything she can imagine inside a typical office."Gahdam! Mask, you woke up early today! Coffee- want some?" Haru offered as he patted Mask's back, who is sitting in his work cubicle, doing his work."No need," Mask refused. "I'll palpitate.""Aww, why? It's not even brewed, c'mon! Or how about a hot curry for lunch? I'll cook for ya." Haru insisted as he sat beside him and reached for the folders and documents, also starting his work."By the way, I think... I think at the end of this month, I'll go back to my country," Haru told Mask."Your country?" Mask's attention was piqued. "Where? So, you're no

It's late afternoon, but Haru already wants to fall asleep.Haru, on the other hand, is unable to sleep due to all of these thoughts. It's steadily building up inside him, and he's afraid he'll burst at any minute.Cedric, Haru, and Lazarus are still inside the hospital room where Lazarus is still confined. Cedric is seated in the corner of the room, scrolling through his phone, while Lazarus is sleeping. Haru is lying on the couch next to the huge window, which overlooks breathtaking scenery and a stunning sunset.But Haru winced because of the view. He hates it."Close the blinds," Haru told Cedric, since he's the one closer to the blind's roller.Cedric only raised a brow."I hate sunsets," Haru muttered.Haru started to hate those beautiful sunsets he once called paradise after that day.While Cedric stood up to close the blinds and curtains, he left his phone screen open behind Haru, causing him to look at it inadvertently.Cedric's phone is in the gallery app, and it shows memo
Hasty Feisty ch. 83 | COMPROMISE OR DISMISS?
"Boss?" Kanji gently taps Zacharias' shoulder as he tries to wake him up from his nap. Once more, Zacharias dozed off on the chair next to Allura's hospital bed with his head resting next to her. It is now late afternoon. Nearly everyone has begun packing up their belongings, with the exception of the men who will be assigned to the hospital room today. This is because it's just the same busy routine for the Regio executives, who will alternate watching over and taking care of Allura in her hospital room as it was in the previous weeks. "Zacharias, Lorenzo is scheduled for staying in the room today," Kanji informed as he's standing beside Lorenzo. Allura's vital signs are getting stable, although the tubes and dextrose that were inserted into various places of her body felt interminable. The same beeping sound they hear beside her bed is still going off. They hope... they all hope that it's the same tempo of the sound they'll hear for the next few days. "Just tell him to go home

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

"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

"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

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
