Steve and Jasmine became very protective of Anna. They would accompany her wherever she went and wait for her in front of her workplace. Anna was confused by the behavior of her parents, who had suddenly changed like this for almost a month.Anna looked at her father's car from outside her classroom window. It's still an hour before the school bell rings, but Steve is already standing in front of Anna's school gate.Steve, who was in front of his daughter's school gate, looked left and right. His hand could not be separated from the gun that was under the jacket he was wearing. Since David fired him, his former boss has yet to contact him. And that made him suspicious that David's subordinates were watching over him and his family.He and Jasmine had tried to borrow money from their friends, but with that amount, they all had the money.Not long after, the school bell rang, and the school children scattered out of their respective classes, including Anna, who left her class and headed
Mark packed up his belongings at Chansu's house. Chansu told him to go out of Casablanca. Still, he would go there alone because Chansu couldn't accompany him. Chansu has given all the items that Mark will need and also a message to him."If I no longer contact you at all, then you should immediately move out of the apartment I gave you, change your phone number and move as far out of town as possible.""Why is that?""Because... I might be dead. Working as a Mafia subordinate made me have to be alert, even when I was sleeping. Because it could have been a bullet fired at me when I closed my eyes."Mark was stopped with his activities when he remembered the words Chansu said this morning before he went to work. Mark asked him why he didn't stop working as a Mafia if he felt that fear."There is no turning back, once you enter this world Mark."Mark looked once again towards the room he lived in Chansu's house.Even though he was only briefly at Chansu's house, he felt grateful to him.
Steve left their car at the car wreck and tried not to leave any traces in Casablanca."Why did you destroy your car, Dad?" Anna and her family looked at their car, which was destroyed by a large engine.Only a short time after, an older man gave payment money to Steve as a transaction between the two."Dad, what happened?" Even though Anna was under 17 years old, she was not stupid. She could understand her family's situation, a situation where they had to run away from something Anna didn't know."Dad, why do we have to leave all of a sudden? What are you afraid of, Dad?"Steve just looked at Anna and smiled gently at her. However, her father's attitude like that certainly did not answer the question Anna gave him."Come on, we better get out of here quickly." Steve held Anna and Jasmine's hands.The three of them then went to the train station.It's been 3 hours, and Steve and his family boarded the car that took them away from Casablanca. Steve looked at the family who was sleepin
Mark put up all his clothes in his closet in his new apartment. Chansu sent Mark overseas, leaving Casablanca behind. Mark walked to the balcony of his apartment. The twinkling lights illuminating the street visible from below made Mark want to immediately blend into the street and see the new country where he lives now. The night wind that blows doesn't make Mark discourage him from going around the city he just named they keep. They keep it a city with a low crime rate, and Chansu seemed to have considered everything he did when sending Mark to live there. They keep located in the country of Bhondave, and Mark took several different flights to get there they keep.Finished by clearing his things, Mark walked towards the city. The lively atmosphere was immediately felt when he left his apartment building. Mark stepped into a restaurant to fill his stomach, which had not eaten anything until now. Mark was enjoying his meal in peace, but his eyes averted when he saw a sign in front of
‘’NO…….’’Anna opened her eyes and looked around her. Her chest was moving up and down quickly. Her breath was rushing as she had run for kilometers. She stepped out of her room and took a glass of warm water to drink. Anna glanced at the clock on the wall in front of his living room, which was still two o'clock in the morning."Shit, why do I have to keep dreaming about the past?" Anna ruffled her hair slowly. She didn't want to recall the incident when Richard first took her by force from the apartment where she and her family had only been living for a month."And why hasn't Richard called me all day? I think something is off." Anna tried to think, but she suddenly remembered something."it can't be."Anna quickly took her bathrobe and trotted toward the apartment's car park. Arriving in front of Richard's car used by her, Anna immediately opened the car door and turned on the lights. She looked for a small object she suspected was in Richard's car all this time. Anna groped the das
"I don't know what's in his mind right now?"Anna glanced at Richard, who was now sitting in the living room of her apartment. Richard suddenly appeared in front of her door alone, without anyone's bodyguards, who would usually always follow wherever Richard went.Anna felt her nose a bit congested because of the perfume Richard used. She liked the smell of that masculine perfume that Richard usually used. Still, she felt, this time, Richard sprayed too much perfume on his body. And it makes her nose uncomfortable."Boss, you've been sitting quietly for 5 minutes without saying anything."Anna was relaxing at her house, and she didn't dress up at all. T-shirts and shorts are her comfortable clothes at home. But in the eyes Richard, Anna still looks very cute.Anna is not comfortable with Richard, who is at her house. Who would feel comfortable if the person who killed your parents and kidnapped you was now in your living room with this relaxed attitude? But Anna can't run away from Ri
The funeral for David's daughter-in-law was held solemnly, and business associates from David's dark business became the attention of the funeral, including Richard. Big men and bodies covered in tattoos, of course, to the attention of everyone at the funeral.Richard came with Anna and Chansu, and some of his subordinates. Anna doesn't understand why Richard is taking her to the funeral of one of his business partners."Mr. David, my condolences on the passing of your daughter-in-law.'' Richard never once spoke kindly to David, and neither did David, who never expected to meet Richard and be friendly with him. But he put his ego aside for a while and respected Richard, who had come to his daughter-in-law's funeral."Thank you, Richard."Richard glanced to David's side and saw David's only son's face for the first time. He looked at Sean from head to toe. In his eyes, Sean looks like a weak man who lives everyday life.''What a pitiful man.'' He thought.But Richard still reached out
"This can't be happening. This can't be happening." Anna washed her face in The Moon's restroom sink. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the look on her face that had turned pale, like a frightened person.She leaned her body on the restroom sink and combed her hair using her hands.After watching the news broadcast on television earlier, Anna's feelings turned mixed. The news not only reported the discovery of the skull in the lake but also displayed the items found with the skull, including a bag, several accessories, and an identity card that had been badly damaged and could not be read.And in one of the accessories shown by the news, Anna saw a bracelet she was currently wearing. Anna directed her gaze to the bracelet she was wearing, a gold bracelet with the initials A. A for Anna and A for Adele. Adele gave her the same bracelet as herself to Anna, and it was her gift to Anna the first time they saw each other in a long time." Fuck, is that really her?""Is she really
"Good afternoon, sir."Mark was immediately greeted by the cell phone shopkeepers he visited today. He went straight to the shop window, which contained various kinds of cell phones that were deliberately displayed to attract the attention of the cell phone shop's visitors.Mark's handsome face caught the attention of the shopkeepers; his brown hair made his pale white skin appear more precise. Mark had to buy a new cell phone for his new cell phone number because the cell phone Chansu had thrown him away."I don't think it's enough to throw away your Sim card, but we must replace your cell phone with a new one."Mark sighed as soon as he remembered Chansu's words when they met a few days ago. And since that incident, Chansu has not contacted Mark at all."Have you made up your mind, sir?" Mark looked up and saw the direction of the standing shopkeeper in front of the display window."I'm a little confused, because all the new phones nowadays look really good." Mark smiled faintly at
SB carried out the task given by Richard to him carefully. SB, who knows a lot of people in the black market, can easily find people willing to help him find the actual owner of the bullets Richard entrusted to him.SB and some of his subordinates manage to find the manufacturer of bullets where the Mafia usually orders bullets with their initials. The Mafia Bosses do that to give a vital sign of power to the victims who have died from the bullets they fired. With more and more bullets lodged in the bodies of their victims, the Mafia felt more potent because they succeeded in killing the lives of Mafia Bosses or their subordinates and others with their own hands."So this is the place." SB was standing in a shoe shop that looked deserted."Ring."The doorbell rang when SB pushed the door of the shop, and when he and a few of his subordinates entered the shoe shop that looked old, there was no activity there. No one was seen guarding the shop."Let me see." SB walked to the counter and
As usual, Sean entered the Holo club and immediately set his sights on the stage where Anna usually sang. But this time, he didn't see Anna there. His forehead furrowed as he looked around the club area, but still didn't see Anna's whereabouts."' Is there anyone you will meet, sir?" Sean was surprised when the Bartender asked him about the problem.''Uh no…'' Sean shook his head and ordered his favorite drink as usual.The Bartender looked at Sean probingly. His eyes saw Sean's movements, who had been paying attention to the empty stage area with no entertainers."If you are looking for our singer, she is not working today.""Excuse me?"The Bartender took a deep breath and approached Sean."Our singer, will not appear today. Because for now, her job is not only to sing in this club, but she also has to do other things ordered by our Boss.""What makes you think that I'm looking for that woman?"''So I'm wrong, huh?''The Bartender chuckled and looked at Sean, who seemed oblivious to
"Your Boss is here." Chansu's cell phone was on the bar table when he visited SB's casino. He was too busy talking to several people who were also clients of Richard who were spending their time at the casino held by SB.SB chuckled when he deliberately took Chansu's cell phone and read the message from Mark that appeared on Chansu's screen cell phone. SB does not know whose number came into Chansu's cell phone and gives him information about Richard because it's impossible for Chansu to have a boss other than Richard."Well, who do you think you're texting right now?" SB glanced at Chansu, who was still busy talking to Richard's clients; SB then took his cell phone and took a photo of the unknown number that appeared on Chansu's screen phone."I'm not dumb.""If you don't want to tell me who owns this number, then I'll look for it by myself." SB glanced back in the direction of Chansu, who was done with his business and started walking towards the bar counter, where SB was sitting an
Chansu looked at the pile of suitcases in front of him at this time; he then turned his gaze to Richard, who was enjoying his breakfast."Boss, where are you going?"A thin smile appeared on Richard's face, and his eyes looked towards Chansu."I work too much, and I hardly ever rest.""And now it's time for me to enjoy some time to myself.""Excuse me?"Chansu could not believe what he heard at this time. Richard acted like he worked in an ordinary world and wanted to enjoy his time. Still, Chansu was worried whether his Boss had thought about the consequences if he had just left his position because Richard held a lot of business in the black market and his company in the ordinary world, which is still running today.Richard chuckled when he saw Chansu's facial expression, which seemed surprised by what he said."You don't need to be surprised. Isn't it normal to have time off and enjoy your own time?""I've forgotten when was the last time; I really enjoyed my own time, Chansu. I wa
Sean woke up with a headache that made him close his eyes repeatedly before finally opening them slowly. His eyes looked toward his room, and he lowered his gaze towards his clothes, which was his complete outfit when he went to the Holo Club."How can I go home?" Sean tried to get up from his bed and lower his feet off the bed."I can't go home by driving my own car." Sean seemed to think for a moment.''Drrtt….. Drrt….'' Sean reached into his suit pocket and took out his cell phone, the name of his secretary listed on the cellphone screen."Sir, why didn't you come to the office today?" Sean's secretary sounded panicked. Sean was still trying to process everything that happened to him even though his head was still throbbing and his vision was still blurry."What?" Sean only said one word to answer the call of his secretary, who sounded worried about her Boss, who had not yet come to the office."Sir, have you forgotten about the important meeting you have to attend today? Our clien
Mark checked some of the patient data he handled, and several times, he flipped through the paper containing the critical data. His two eyes focused on reading the developments that his patients had experienced. His hand remembered to write down a few sentences that he added on record to the patient to guide the nurses on duty. While focusing on his task, suddenly, his hand movements stopped, and his eyes seemed to wander off to last night's incident when he and Chansu met and talked to each other."And is this the attitude you've shown as long as we haven't seen each other for years, Chansu?"After Mark's last sentences, Chansu kept silent and did not respond to Mark's penalties. And that was the last conversation the two had at that time because Chansu immediately took his office bag and left the cafe where they met for the first time after years of not seeing each other."am I too harsh on him?" Mark leaned his body on the chair he was sitting on. He then took his cell phone inside
The atmosphere of the cafe looks lively, and some people can be heard laughing with their friends; on the corner, Of the cafe, two men are silent each other. But both of them seemed to greet each other through their respective eyes; the smile never left their faces. A waiter delivered the drink they had been waiting for to them. Neither of them wanted to open the conversation first because the nervousness and awkwardness that both of them were experiencing made their tongues go numb.Fifteen minutes had passed since two cups of coffee were served in front of them, and finally, one of them decided to speak first and broke the silence between the two."How are you, sir?" said the man, who was none other than Mark. He's looking at Chansu directly, who seems to pay attention to the area around the Café, before answering Mark's questions, the young man whose whereabouts he had hidden from Richard for years."I'm good, thanks." Chansu looked at Mark, full of emotion, as if he saw a younger
Richard saw that Chansu and Anna were standing in front of him. His eyebrows furrowed, and one of his fingers covered his nose."What is it, Boss?" Anna asked Richard about the attitude of someone who looks like someone held back smells. A mischievous smile appeared on her face; Anna enjoyed the expression that Richard was currently showing her."Nothing.'' He seemed to take a breath and inhale it again.Anna then walked towards the window near Richard's desk and opened it both. "Isn't it like this, much better, Boss?" Anna glanced at Richard, who seemed surprised by Anna's actions and knew that, at this time, he was holding his breath due to the smell emitting from Anna and Chansu's bodies.''You're right.'' Richard cleared his throat."From the smell you have smelled, we don't need to explain further what happened to your customer who ran away, Boss. " Anna handed over the letter she found from the customer. The letter had been sealed in plastic so that Richard would not need to sm
