ICE’S POV:

Guns were drawn, tension hung thick in the air, and it seemed like a standoff was about to erupt, but amidst the pointed weapons, only Zia and I stood without weapons, locked in a chilling gaze. With a wry smile, Zia's voice slithered forth, her words carrying a mocking tone: "Well, isn't this a cozy gathering? Traitors' offspring all grown up. What a delight."

My response wasn't as amusing as hers. I fixed her with a cold stare, my voice cutting through the tension like a blade. "Why drag me, my brother, and those who matter to me into this? What's the point of involving us in the tangled mess our parents made that wasn’t our problems in the first place?"

Zia's laughter rippled, a bitter melody in the midst of the charged atmosphere. She fired back, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "Oh, come on. Did you really expect me to roll out the red carpet for you just because your parents are the culprits and it doesn’t include you?"

    ICE’S POV:As my arms encircled him, I could feel his body tremble beneath my touch. It was clear that his façade was cracking and that the tough exterior he tried to project was giving way to the pain he held within. I gently turned him to face me, his tear-streaked face a testament to the battle raging inside him."It's going to be alright, brother," I murmured, my voice a steady anchor amidst the storm of his emotions. I held his gaze, willing him to believe my words. "Your sister will not leave you again." His eyes, usually so guarded, seemed to soften with a glimmer of hope as our connection deepened.Yet, as we stood there locked in our embrace, something shifted in Grayson. His defenses crumbled, and the floodgates he had erected against his feelings began to open. The sound of his sobs, raw and heartbreaking, reached my ears, and I felt a pang in my chest. This was his pain, his vulnerability laid bare, and I was honored that he chose to share it with me.Tears welled up in my

    ICE’S POV:"Mommy!" I heard History's excited voice echoing through the house, and I couldn't help but smile. I knew he, along with his dad, Iciest, and his brother, Chronicles, were eagerly waiting for me and our little angel, Legend. With a fond shake of my head, I anticipated History's imminent arrival in the room that Iciest and I shared.I glanced at my 2-year-old daughter, her vibrant violet and green eyes meeting mine. She had inherited those striking eyes from me. Gently, I dressed her in a beautiful blue dress, carefully placing a delicate white flower tiara on her head before braiding her hair. It was a marvel to think about the journey that had led to this point—after everything that had transpired, the unexpected gift of another baby had caught Iciest and me by surprise. Recollecting a past conversation with my two older children about their desire for a third sibling once their parents reunited (which, unbeknownst to me at the time, referred to me and Iciest), I had decid

    It was already December so the weather was cold. The breeze was slightly penetrating through my bare face which made me shiver and I couldn’t help but put my hands with gloves on my face. The neighborhood also was already so quiet. I can’t blame them though, it was already 11 p.m. and I am still here walking on my way home alone. The good thing about this is that I already ate at a dinner meeting earlier and decided to just walk because my house is just a walking distance from the hotel where we held our dinner.A few moments later, I immediately stopped on my track when I saw a suspicious man in black ahead of the road. At first glance, he was just someone who was walking slowly while approaching where I was.I observed the man and I knew at first that he wanted something from me since he was wearing a mask all over his face, a hat, black long pants, boots, jacket, and even gloves. All of them are black which looks like he was a

This organization’s main headquarters is here but I also have many headquarters all over the world to enlarge my connections. I named my organization Kyuden because Kyuden or Kyūden means Palace in Japanese and Palace is our family name.I built this organization when my parents died and I became orphaned. The good thing about this is that I still have my grandpa to care for me. Unfortunately, after mom and dad died, the organization they created collapsed so I just built something out of my skills. Building this organization takes time as I pour all my blood, sweat, and tears into it.I was just 9 years old at that time and I could see how they killed my parents in front of my own eyes. They are shameless!When mom and dad died, grandpa immedi

I don't know what's happening but I know something is wrong.I just nodded. He smiled again then kissed me on the forehead."Always remember that we love you so much," Dad said to me and kissed me on the cheek.I just stared at their backs as they were obviously in a hurry to get out. I was alone in my room, feeling cold and confused. After a few minutes, I heard a lot of loud gunshots and explosions so my eyes immediately widened.I began to panic and went to the window to look at what was happening outside. I saw mom and dad kneeling in front of a man and that man was holding a gun while pointing it at my parents.Later, he suddenly shot my mom and dad in the head as my eyes started to widen in shock. I

    ICE’S POV:When I arrived here at the place given by my grandfather through text, a large wall immediately appeared in front of me. I frowned, the house my grandfather built for me was hidden. How nice!I looked around to check if someone was looking but when I already made sure that no one was around, I immediately approached the wall.Suddenly a scanner came out and scanned me from head to toe."Lady Ice Angel Velez, you can now enter." A robotic voice muffled after it finished scanning and knowing my identity.Eventually, the wall split in half and a passage suddenly emerged in front of my eyes. I went straight in as I looked around and noticed that this house was also fully secured because there are many small cameras in every corner of this place.I walked again while looking around. When I enter, I immediately notice the beauty of this place and the big house that was built at the center.I went to the bac

I have to maintain my body health because I am still planning to retaliate.I know that revenge is not the answer but this is my only way to make those people pay for their debt. If I asked some authorities for this, they would not be a big help since Bernards is the biggest scam and a big fish in the water.It takes many years to solve the case and it is not certain that it will be successful or not. Maybe my identity will be out accidentally as well once I seek their help.Oh well, I don't care about their lives anyway. In the first place, they also didn't value the lives of my parents."Empress!" I turned my attention to the direction of the voice and just looked at him emotionlessly."What do you want Jensen?" I asked coldly.

    ICE’S POV:I was here early for school because I needed to look around and observe things that might be helpful for my investigation. Even though I know that it might be impossible since I know that Bernards weren’t that stupid enough to leave some evidence that can be used against them but I am still hoping.I was walking around when I noticed that I was already at the back of this school. Seriously? I looked around and noticed that this place looks like a forest.It was so quiet and stayed silent as well as I rolled my eyes in irritation, not until my eyes landed on the post saying ‘No Trespassing’ and they even put up various barriers in the area. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What are they hiding here?I just stood in front of it while still looking around the place.

Zee sat hunched over a bank of monitors, fingers dancing across the keyboard as lines of code scrolled across screens along with Taylor.Arthur leaned against the wall, his gaze fixed on the surveillance feed showing the imposing structure of Zia's base across the street. Luke tinkered with a small device on the table, his earbuds plugged in as he kept an ear on the team's communication while Jaycel was just on the side watching them.Zee muttered to herself, "Alright, I've patched into their security network. I can see the guards patrolling the perimeter."Arthur replied, "Keep an eye on the guards' patterns. We don't want any surprises."Luke nodded his head with a sighed as he mumbled, "I've got the signal jammers set up. Their comms won't be working."Meanwhile, outside the hotel, Zian smiled as he happily said it into his earpiece as he lured the guards. "Hey, have you guys heard about that new virtua

    ICE’S POV:Inside, an ensemble of guards stationed throughout offered their respectful greetings. It was a familiar routine, and their commitment to our children's protection never wavered.Venturing deeper, we were met with a heartwarming sight. On the couch, our two children were engrossed in their tablets, undoubtedly lost in the world of their game company—an endeavor they had taken upon themselves.My throat gave a subtle cough as we entered their line of sight. In response, their heads snapped up in a mixture of surprise and sheer delight.The room was alive with a sort of controlled chaos. I watched as History hopped off the sofa with a reckless enthusiasm that sent a pang of worry through me. His father's voice, laced with pure concern, rumbled like a soothing undertone, "Be careful, baby!"Chronicles, his older brother, didn't hold back either. His words came out in a stern, almost icy tone, but beneath that frostiness, concern flickered like a hidden flame: "Slow down, Histo

    CALVIN’S POV:Meanwhile, Grayson sat alongside Zee, the enigmatic figure responsible for the intricate hacking that fortified Ice's group. Learning that Zee led the faction known as Antares stunned everyone, even Arthur and Luke, cyber experts themselves, who had worked under her leadership for so long. I made a mental note to uncover the backstory behind Grayson and Zee's connection when the timing was right.Other than Ysabelle, Taylor, and Arthur, who were already acquainted, the rest of the newcomers had just arrived this morning. The dynamics in the room were captivating—a mix of camaraderie and curiosity, like a puzzle waiting to be solved.Amidst the hum of conversations, what puzzled me was the trio from Jaycel's team; their gaze was locked onto Travor. He remained unfazed by their judgmental stares, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. He seemed impervious to their scrutiny as he goaded the mother of his child, her simmering anger evident yet contained.Within this intrica

    ICIEST’S POV:Her response carried a scoff, her voice tinged with humor despite the situation: "I'm keeping it in check. You know me, I've got this. We're nearly at your location, so sit tight."A frown creased my brow, her words stirring a different kind of unease. Swiftly, I retorted, "Don't play it down too much. I'll be waiting right here, wife. Just get back safely."The tension in the air was thick as I clenched my fist, waiting for her response. The seconds felt like an eternity until her voice finally broke through the silence."I will," she replied, her words hanging in the air like a promise. The call ended, leaving me with a mixture of relief and uncertainty.As the call ended, I turned my gaze to Grayson, who seemed to release a breath he had been holding. There was a tension in the air that still lingered, but some of it seemed to ease with his reaction.Calmly, I advised, "Let's give them a few minutes. They should be arriving soon."My prediction wasn't off, as mere mom

    GRAYSON’S POV:I nodded, my exhale carrying the weight of my anxiety. Just when it seemed like the call would go unanswered once more, I glanced at my sister, her expression unwaveringly frosty.My hope was fading, and desperation clawed at me, but then, miraculously, someone picked up the call. It took every ounce of restraint not to burst into a jubilant shout—a reaction completely out of character for me.I had never been one to wear my emotions on my sleeve, nor did I usually indulge in sentimentality. My demeanor was typically as chilly as a winter breeze, and my interactions with others were marked by detached professionalism.But in the face of recent events, my perspective has shifted. I had come to realize that I was no longer an island, no longer alone. Their well-being had become paramount to me, and I would do anything to keep them safe from harm.As soon as Calvin answered the call, I hit the loudspeaker button, ensuring Ice and Iciest could listen in on our conversation.
