Chapter 16: Cash To Mexico
Last Updated:
2020-10-15 19:03:13I was panting heavily as I ran as fast as I could. My heart was thumping heavily inside my chest and I was cursing myself under my breath. Everything was just going fine until these dudes suddenly showed up, unannounced. I kept up my pace, afraid to trip down and fall flat on my face. I didn’t want to lose one grand, and I wasn’t going to let those guys win. What would they think of me? That William trained me for nothing?
All these thoughts were creeping in my head w

Why did Caley want to see us? It seemed abrupt and quite spontaneous how he suddenly thought of us. After Kourtney had a phone call with him, all she said was we should come with her. She even included Hansel who had nothing to do with Caley. All that was in my head right now was, since when did Caley and Kourtney get close? As far as I knew, they didn’t hang out often unlike Amanda and Emma. But I guess things just drastically changed when they graduated and I was being left behind.

Hansel was caught off guard and he wasn’t expecting Kourtney to bring him up in this conversation. He only came here for coffee, nothing else and for him to be the center of attention aside from Kourtney was so uncalled for. It made him uncomfortable, but his cheeks were slowly turning red in embarrassment. As if to make him even more unsettled, Kourtney leaned her head on Hansel’s arm that made me furrow my brows. What was she doing? “How long h

My mouth gaped when I saw his blood-drenched hands that were grasping the wound on his abdomen. His chest rose and fell and he was panting uncontrollably from the pain. I froze to where I was standing in utter shock, as I studied the scene in front of me. There was a knife placed beside him, some scattered utensils on the ground and the countertop, and an opened microwave with a bowl of pasta inside. There was a trail of blood across the island counter, and there was a track of dirt along with it.

After the life-threatening occurrence last night, I stayed in the hospital and William brought me some clothes when he saw how drenched I was with Hansel’s blood. We stayed over in the hospital until the dawn came, and William had ordered some of his men to guard Hansel because we wouldn’t be around to keep an eye on him. We’d come up with an idea to visit the jail to talk things out with Dmitri because he was the only person we knew that could give us information about what happened last night. Knowing he was the only closest person to the Houstons, he probably knows why they wanted to take Mom or why they wanted us to be killed.

We went back to the hospital after William’s man had called him. Relief washed over me as soon as I knew that he was fine and he had woken up. I was worried about him that I had a hard time going through the day without constantly thinking about if he would ever wake up. Maybe I was exaggerating because survival was rare, and being alive was a miracle. Hansel being alive was enough to assure me that everything would be okay and he got through it.The guard opened the door f

Right after William announced that we were going to stay in his house until the day we got to leave for Mexico, I went back to our house to grab our stuff. Daniel went along with me, saying that he’d come with me so I had a company which I didn’t mind. So we both left the vicinity as Kourtney chose to stay with Hansel.When I unlocked the house, I stepped inside as Daniel trailed behind me. The house didn’t look different as we’d left it: there were

I stopped dead on my track as I gulped at the sight of him. I couldn’t believe my eyes right now and there was a sudden tightness in my chest. I sucked in a breath, not wanting to look away, and waited for him to turn his back around to face me. My hands were sweating like hell, as the heat started to surge in. If I was dreaming, then I didn’t want to wake up.When he turned around, his gaze immediately landed on me. His stare was mesmerizing, and the way his ey

He looked uncomfortable as he stared at me. I bit my bottom lip in embarrassment, not knowing what I should say next. It seemed as if he didn’t hear what I just said because he didn’t respond. I bet he wasn’t sure how he would forgive me or how he would confront me of how horrible I was to him. I could feel his coldness, without that longing and constant need for affection. I couldn’t believe that he was unlike this before. He was so different.“I&rs

His Fragile Flame Chapter 42: Reconstruct The Plan
The whole ride on the way back to the hotel was quiet. We immediately left Paola’s house after the conversation we had, and Miguel didn’t choose to persuade her more for he understood her situation. All that I could do at that moment was empathize with her for her loss and we did everything we could to not make her feel bad about not helping us. Miguel also had told her to go to their mother which Paola instantly declined since she felt hesitant to show up to him. Then we all bid her goodbye along with Xavier.

“I met up with our father yesterday,” Miguel said and it received a baffled reaction from Paola.Her eyes widened and she stiffened on her seat as she stared at Miguel.

The next day, Gwen, Miguel, and I left the hotel in the afternoon along with William’s men. We would be heading to the person Miguel was referring to yesterday and we would try to talk to him or her about Fernando. To be honest, I was full of anticipation and I was being optimistic about the outcome. I wouldn’t deny, I was still a little nervous.We were inside the car and Miguel was in the driver’s seat. Gwen was sitting at the back while I was on the shotgun.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 39: Fernando's Decision
No one knows where the golds are, only your father, I repeated Fernando’s words in my head. I was certain that I knew where my father hid them, and he entrusted those to me that’s why I became the new keeper. Why did he come up to that conclusion? Did the Houstons know that I hid the golds?“You know that my father’s dead, right?” I said, my tone was laced with resentment. “And the treasure didn’t die along with him.”
His Fragile Flame Chapter 38: Bargain With Fernando
Seeing Fernando sitting in front of me was probably one of the most unsettling feelings I’d ever had. I stared at him in awe, trying to hide the anxiousness I suddenly felt at the sight of him. He plastered a stoic face, and only two guards were standing on both sides of Fernando. I was right, he looked just like an Italian mafia boss in his early thirties. But I knew he was older than that, he just appeared younger because there weren’t any apparent wrinkles that formed on his face. I knew where Miguel had inherited his features, and I could already visualize how he would look like when he got old.

I was seated in front of these men who were gawking at me as if I was prey they needed to devour. There were five of them, and Fernando sat in the middle, contemplating. Beside Fernando was Dmitri, smiling mischievously like he was planning something sketchy. They’d locked William up in a chamber, and I was left alone because we got caught. We failed to conceal the secret between Arthur and William, and we were about to escape Mexico when we got caught by Fernando.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 36: Casa De Dela Fuente
We got out of the car and moved closer to the house that looked just like a freaking castle. It was an old-style house, a bit outdated if you would ask me. But it was gorgeous, dark, and foreboding. It was the house you would expect a beast would live in. The house was surrounded by trees that there were dried leaves that scattered all over their unkempt lawn. The grass had grown tall, maybe because no one was staying here and no one looked out for their house. The hedges that ran along the front of their house also looked dehydrated, and they weren’t the luminescent green color we’d always had at our home. This looked more like a haunted mansion that no one would ever dare to stay here for long.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 35: Arrival
I was in a deep slumber for the entire ride that I hadn’t realized that we’d landed already. Though I’d already slept, it seemed like I had just blinked my eyes and now we were here. It was quick, about an hour or two rides that I honestly didn’t expect. Gwen had woken me up when we arrived and we quickly got off the plane. William’s men, who I barely communicate with, held our luggage. When I roamed my eyes around the place, we were taken to another hangar which wasn’t expected.
