"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
''Hmmp… hmmp.. hmmp'' Seen a man in his 50's trying to untie the rope that tied his hands. His mouth was taped, unable to make any sound. If he could, he would have shouted earlier. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his eyes glanced left & right looking for a woman who had been with him. His breath hitched, out of fear. He knew he might be finished right now. His eyes went back to looking around the room, which looked like a room in an old house that had almost collapsed. Even sunlight can enter through the cracks in the ceiling of the room. His body trembled even more on the chair he was sitting on, the bonds in his legs & hands fused with the back & legs of the chair. The knot in his chest made him feel tighter. ''No'' ''No'' ''No'' There was the sound of footsteps approaching the door. The man's heartbeat quickened as the footsteps drew closer. ''Kreeekkk'' The sound of the door opening, made the man staring intently at the door which was slowly opening. A woman's
MIke looks surprised by Anna's actions. It was Anna who stabbed him but Anna was the one who bandaged the wound. MIke was horrified by Anna's rapid emotional changes, Anna who looked cheerful then turned cold and suddenly turned into a worried person. ''I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for your wife & kids'' ''But, if you don't survive here, it's not my fault'' Anna patted MIke on the cheek, before finally walking towards the door & leaving MIke alone in the building. While outside, Anna saw Richard's car & his subordinates. Richard's driver rushed out of the car & opened the door for Richard who was sitting in the back seat. Richard got out of his car & walked towards Anna who was standing in front of the door. His cold hands immediately touched Anna's cheeks and turned Anna's face left & right. "Are you all right?" Richard's deep voice greeted Anna. The deep voice that came out of a Mafia Boss, The W, was sure to make everyone tremble just by hearing it. "Don't overd
During the trip to Casablanca, Richard was busy with his cell phone. He saw the movement of his private car, driven by Anna. There was no suspicious movement from the car that Anna was driving. Now the GPS point on Richard's car stopped right at a Café. "Maybe she's eating something sweet right now," Richard thought. Richard knows what Anna's favorite food is, because Anna has been with Richard for 7 years. During his time with Anna, Richard had seen many things that made Anna laugh and cry. Richard also teaches Anna many things, including self-defense and how to do business in the dark world like Richard. But when Richard teaches Anna to take one of Richard's Gambling businesses, Anna refuses and prefers to become a Singer in Richard's Club & helps Richard in collecting debts from philanderers. When he arrived in front of his club called The Moon, Richard was immediately greeted by his subordinates. Richard went straight to his room, where Mrs. McDonald was waiting. Richard entere
Anna took off her clothes & removed her make-up as soon as she reached her apartment. For a whole day, Richard did not contact her at all. And that made Anna suspicious, because every time Anna finished with her work and went to rest, Richard would keep in touch with her, even though Anna didn't even pick up the phone or reply to Richard's messages. Richard didn't even know where Anna lived, because Anna never told him. Working for Richard means being prepared for the worst that will happen to Anna, because of that Anna never told Richard where she lived, because for Anna home is a place where she gets peace and comfort. Anna lay down on her bed and tried to sleep. Richard's work always tired him physically & mentally. The only work from Richard that Anna liked was when she sang in one of Richard's clubs called Holo. There Anna feels free and can interact normally with people who like her voice. With Anna's cheerful and sociable nature, Holo is the perfect place for her to meet new pe
''I'm home'' Anna said as she entered the apartment she shared with her parents and grandmother. There was no welcome as usual when Anna came home from school, this has been felt by Anna for almost 10 days when her grandmother had to be hospitalized because of a heart disease she suffered. Her father worked and her mother had to take care of his grandmother in the hospital. And because of that Anna felt very lonely at home. On normal days, Anna would accompany her grandmother all day at home, when her parents worked. Unlike other high school kids who fill their days by taking classes outside, Anna prefers to spend time with her grandmother and work part-time at a small convenience store. Anna opened the cupboard and saw instant noodles, there was no other choice but this, she thought. Anna then cooked the instant noodles, while eating Anna sat in front of the television, actually she didn't pay much attention to what she was watching, she just wanted to hear the sound of the tv so th
Anna was walking the sidewalk accompanied by a pink umbrella with a cat's head on the top. The heavy rain made Anna walk more carefully so as not to be splashed by puddles on the sidewalk she was walking on. Now and then, her mouth mumbled the tune of her favorite song. Step by step, Anna walked calmly until a car suddenly swerved to the right near the sidewalk where she was walking, making her have to be wet because of the splash of water. Anna looked at her wet clothes while the driver of the black car continued to drive without feeling guilty. ''Shit'' cursed Anna. With a resentful heart, Anna kept walking toward work. The cold wind pierced her skin more and more every time Anna stepped on her feet. When Anna got close to her workplace, she saw the black car that had made her soaked earlier and stopped right in front of the convenience store. Anna also quickened her steps. She was curious who the bold car driver made her have to get wet like this. As Anna entered the shop, she saw
Since that incident, Pierre has been more silent and always ignores me. But he still serves Max as usual by taking Max to wherever Max ordered him. And I was always by Max's side, acting as Max's confidant and his bodyguard. Max's bold attitude towards me slowly started not to be as crazy as it used to be. But every night, I could see Pierre coming out of Max's room with his messy hair. And that very night, I last saw Pierre. Because the following day, we were surprised by Pierre, who committed suicide by hanging himself. As for Max, he doesn't care about Pierre, who has took his own life. He didn't feel sorry that Pierre ended his life, because he feels depressed because of Max's actions. That's when my patience ran out. I couldn't do any more with the naivety and stupidity I had maintained all this time.I pretended to flirt with Max and asked him to go to his favorite club, just the two of us. Stupid and lust-thirsty, Max quickly accepted my invitation, and I drugged him while we w

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
