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
Hasty Feisty ch. 84 | RETRIBUTION OF THE REAPER
Lorenzo is walking in the hallway, on his way to the office, as soon as he is home in Regio's mansion. Just as he was about to proceed inside, he saw a glimpse of Leo going out of the room. "Leo," Lorenzo called once again as he walked towards him, even if he knew that Leo would just turn his back to him again. Yeah, he was right. Leo just glanced at him for a brief second, then walked back inside the room. "This is the last time I'm telling you this. Talk to me, Leo! This is fucking childish." Lorenzo shouted as he knocks on Leo's door. "Talk to you? When the last words I heard from you from our last argument were me being a delusional self-centered shithead. I guess I shouldn't talk any further, then." Leo retorted and scoffed behind the door. "For fuck's sake, I'm trying my hardest here to mend everything right here right now," Lorenzo replied. "Then don't try to fix something that's already been butchered," Leo told. "Leo, let's fix this before it's too fucking late," Lore
Hasty Feisty ch. 85 | THE REAPER AND THE GUARDIAN
No response, except for the gunshots that killed another of Lazarus' workers and guards. Lorenzo is aware, as is every one that Lazarus is currently physically frail and vulnerable, particularly in light of the neck brace, arm sling, and other medical equipment supporting his fractures and wounds. This is the reason why Lazarus is surrounded by more workers than usual, and Lorenzo knew it damn well. This is why he started targeting them first. As soon as Lorenzo finished killing an adequate amount of armed guards surrounding Lazarus. Lorenzo got out of his hiding spot. Lorenzo quickly sprinted towards Lazarus and wrapped his arm around his neck as he points a gun at Lazarus' head, which caused the man to wince in extreme pain. "Stay back!" Lorenzo groaned as he pressed the barrel harder on Lazarus' temples. "If you don't want to see his brains bursting off." Lazarus screamed in pain as a reaction to Lorenzo's pressure being applied to his injured body parts. "Cedric! Haru! Do so
Hasty Feisty ch. 86 | PEARLY GATES
"Are there any updates with her?"Zacharias asked the nurses and doctors who went inside the hospital room to check Allura's vital signs and daily medication.The doctor who is using a stethoscope to listen to Allura's heartbeat briefly hummed. "I won't claim that her coma will last long, she's still unresponsive, but I doubt that it's impossible that she can hear us right now with her senses. It's not clear to state that she's entirely okay now. Ms. Allura Marin is still so far from being so out of the hospital."Zacharias' chest began to get heavy. As long as she's alive and breathing, he's contented.Toshiro also went inside the room, and he was like in a hurry based on his expression and how he was walking to Zacharias in haste, informing him of crucial news. "Zacharias, Lorenzo is sent to the hospital.""What?" Zacharias' brows furrowed, dismayed. "How the fuck?""Let's get out of here for a moment," Toshiro said as he motioned Zacharias out of the hospital room with him.They kn
Hasty Feisty ch. 87 | HEAVEN'S GIFT
What a miracle..."Patient 111, Ms. Allura Marin is awake!"The nurses and doctors were startled by how Allura's pulse and heart rate went back to normal. They stopped the defibrillation as they quickly turned on the generators and checked up on her.I felt my body and senses slowly working up. I feel my muscles tensing up as my finger twitches, catching the attention of the nurses."Ms. Marin, can you hear us? Are you able to open your eyes?" One of the nurses called.I could hardly open my eyes, and it was hard even if it was just moving my eyelids. I feel so paralyzed."Call the guardians."Toshiro and Zacharias are still sitting in the hospital hallway chairs. Zacharias' foot was tapping on the ground every second and he kept on fiddling with his fingers due to panic and nervousness. His mind is filled with hopes and prayers, and the loud heave and beat in his chest barely help."Sirs, we have urgent news," the nurse said, taking a long breath."Ms. Marin is finally awake."Zachar
Hasty Feisty ch. 88 | A FOOL TOOL
--FLASHBACKS----Lazarus' POV----Two months ago, the day before Lazarus' death...--"A tool. That's what makes you dumb, yet commendable."My head fuzzed through the incessant thoughts flooding my mind. It was distinctly a voice. A consolidated voice, yet it still brings me fear and trepidation to this day."A tool. That's what makes you dumb, yet commendable."It's Hajime's first and last words to me.I visited the cemetery after many years. I visited Hajime's grave again after years."It's been a while," I mussitated. It's been a week since Regio attacked us. I felt like I was mounted on this wheelchair."Boss, the preparation for the next attack is still in progress," one of my workers informed beside me.There are more people standing beside me, also visiting Hajime's grave. Haru, Cedric, and my workers."Your tool needs to be sharpened, Hajime. I need you to stand up from your grave. I don't care if you're a walking zombie at this point." I said, more like pleaded.The weather h
Hasty Feisty ch. 89 | LACK OF PAST
"Who are you?" Allura mussitated cluelessly.Zacharias wasn't speaking or giving any response to Allura's words. He was too busy finding his emotions in his chest from the heavy boulder of your words.Allura woke up. Zacharias was glad; he was beyond happy, but what she said next tore him into pieces."Mr. Zacharias—" The doctors called. They were even contemplating approaching or even calling his name. To say, he's like a ticking bomb.Even Toshiro, who's standing beside him, is also left in a stupor and shock. He knew it was just the beginning of Zacharias' dread."A-Allura..." Zacharias called out, and his eyes tried to find any reaction from her or even a single muscle movement, though nothing came out, but a look of fear in her eyes.She's awake, but it feels like she's also dead at the same time."Allura, d-do you recognize me? Please, answer me. I'm not kidding around." Zacharias continued to say to her in a brittle voice."C-Callista," Allura whispered.Zacharias' eyes widened
Hasty Feisty ch. 90 | FORESEE TO LET GO
A week has passed, and everyone is back in the Regio residence. They settled for at least three days to arrange their documents and, most importantly, Lorenzo's papers, his medical bills, and his funeral arrangements.They thought that today was another work day for Regio until Zacharias calls for a sudden meeting.Everyone is silent, austere looks plastered on their faces as their eyes scan nothing but enervation.Zacharias was just staring at the thin air while his fingers were interlocked, sitting there on the middle-end chair by their long meeting table. He feels so overburdened. A plethora of endless thoughts started to loom in his mind while starting this meeting.The Regio executives went inside the room, and after a few minutes of waiting, they were finally completed, except for two people."As you all know, Eri's personnel came here to pick up Allura's things. They're moving to another city." Zacharias starts to speak.Almost everyone has heard the news, and they knew they co

Hasty Feisty ch. 100 | THE GLIMPSE OF THE END
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
