Chapter 6: Jail
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It still hadn’t struck me that after all these years, I would be facing Dmitri again. I didn’t know why the fright I felt towards him all surged back, and facing this mission with my brother hadn’t crossed my mind. Not only that, but he was also the one who convinced me to do this with William. Seemed like trouble always found me whenever I hid from reality, and the joke was on me, I didn’t have a choice. I wanted to lash out from these problems, but it wouldn’t be resolved until we create a solution.
Right now, after I agreed to William and Hansel, we were heading to Dmitri’s location. Wil

His Fragile Flame Chapter 7: Truth Had Spilled
Mom was in a coma, and exerting information from her was impossible. But how could she hold such secret for too long and let everyone suffer from it, including Dad? I’d never got the chance to dive deeper into the Houston business because I was too consumed with my eagerness to find Dad that I didn’t do enough research to have a major conclusion as to what was happening. And now that Dad was dead, it was now the time to uncover the secrets they had kept for his justice. Aside from that, revenge had to be cast upon them so they knew how it felt being at the rock bottom.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 8: It All Made Sense
I gasped. My muscles tensed, and I blinked my eyes a couple of times. I didn’t know what or how to feel because I was filled in disbelief. It all made sense now. I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and I still needed an assurance if this was true. But why would William lie about it? Was it to protect me, or he had other intentions? I didn’t know what to believe anymore. This had been hidden from me for almost forever, none of them had spoken up about this. But was it my fault for not figuring it out? Because I had been speculating all the time and I was dumb enough to not realize it.

Darkness surrounded my vision, and I was trying to lash out from the guy’s tight embrace. I was kicking my feet forcefully as he lifted me, screaming for help as he hushed me. He was masculine and strong, and it was impossible to get away with his tight grip. When he started walking away, a whimper tore out of my throat but it quickly subsided when I heard a woman’s voice chuckling. No one came for my rescue, as I was dragged to somewhere I didn’t know.A few struggl

His Fragile Flame Chapter 11: Planning To Mexico
When the thought of him finally struck me, the wave of emotions and yearning started flooding back. I knew no matter how hard I tried not to think about him, it was just as inevitable as my feelings that would suddenly pop up, unannounced. I had been shaking all the thoughts of him right after the night I’d escaped from the Houstons, not wanting to feel like shit after turning my back against him and practically lying all this time. I didn’t want to imagine the hurt in his eyes that hinted betrayal, I didn’t want him to catch a glimpse of my awful reality, and I didn’t want him knowing that I was accused of killing Primo, his best friend. I couldn’t stop loathing myself for letting all of these be out of control and made Catherine retaliate that ended up in a huge commotion.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 12: The Bargain
Opening up about Miguel to my friends felt rather odd than relieving. This wasn’t anything like that conversation you would have with your friends about a specific guy. I just wished that they wouldn’t take this as something else.“I knew you’re going to ask about him.” Kourtney grinned at me with her eyebrows wiggling suggestively while Daniel was just quiet in front of us.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 13: Firearm Training
We didn’t have a choice, and as much as I wanted to decline William’s offer, I knew this was the only option we had. I agreed to the plan and he promised that what happened back then wouldn’t happen this time. We would be more cautious and prepared so we would be safe. He couldn’t promise us that we wouldn’t be hurt along the way; this path we got to take was dangerous. But with us working together, I think we got this.Right after we were introduced
His Fragile Flame Chapter 14: The Conversation
The shooting range training went well. Kourtney was still having a hard time holding a gun while Daniel on the other hand seemed like he already knew what he was doing. But something that bugged me throughout the whole training was Hansel’s gesture towards Kourtney and how vividly the moment appeared in my head. I didn’t want to make it a big deal and convinced myself that he was just probably being friendly. But I couldn’t help but think that maybe Hansel already laid eyes on her and he was already flirting. But that was near to impossible.

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.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 40: Mucho Gusto
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.
His Fragile Flame Chapter 37: The Nightmare
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.
