CALVIN’S POV:

I smiled and shook my head before answering, "It was nothing."

She squinted her eyes at me as I looked at her innocently. She just rolled her eyes after that as we ate our meals silently. After we ate, she immediately offered to wash the dishes, so since I wanted to get a blanket and two pillows from my room to let her sleep there instead of me, I just let her be.

I walked towards my room and turned on the lights, only to be greeted by a black and white room. Since I am the type of person who doesn’t like messy things, my room is very neat and white, with a large fluffy mat on the floor.

I also have a medium-sized study table with my laptop above it, together with a lamp and many necessary things that I needed whenever I did my work since I didn’t make another room for my office. I am living alone, so I don’t think it’s necessary anymore since my room is quite big already and my unit was on the whole 10th floor.

After all, this is the last floor of this condominium, so I

    CALVIN’S POV:I heard her mumble, "No, it’s okay." She paused somehow before continuing with a sigh, "I run away from there because the people who manage that orphanage are somehow cruel and I can’t stand seeing and experiencing the physical abuse that they are doing to us." I sat up and looked in her direction, but I could only see her lying down while looking at the ceiling as she added blankly, "I don’t want to leave those other children there, but I don’t have any choice since I don’t want to die just because of the beating, Cal."I sighed at this when I heard the sadness and remorse in her voice. I couldn’t help but feel pity and sympathy for her for the things that happened to her.I heaved a sigh and mumbled, "I’m sorry for asking."She replied weakly, with a hint of affection in her voice, "No, it’s okay since I am fine now, especially since I already have so many people who value me and I am not alone anymore."I smiled hearing this as well as I uttered, "You know, I admire y

    XERCEL’S POV:He nodded his head at me and replied, "Okay, I will go with Ysabelle, but I think you are right, I am being childish when in fact there are so many things that we need to pay attention to." He heaved a sigh and asked, "But can you blame me if I act like this?"I squinted my eyes at him in suspicion as I asked, "What do you mean?"I felt that he held both of my hands, so I immediately looked at them in confusion as I felt a mix of emotions about what was happening right now. I don’t know if I should be happy that the person I love is holding me like this or still become irritated because of how he has been acting since earlier.I really don’t like to overthink things, but this guy is making me do that today. I don’t really like the feeling of being clueless; it makes me stupid. I looked at his eyes again, and this time, he was smiling at me sadly.He shook his head and mumbled, "Be careful when you do your mission with Taylor, and let’s talk tomorrow once you come back fr

    XERCEL’S POV:After all, the Empress seems to have had no plans or not even bothered to tell us about that person, which we didn’t mind anyway. It is their privacy and their right to do so.After all, she was a good asset to us whenever we needed some information, but these last few months, she didn’t contact us at all. Maybe she was really busy with something since we are on missions as well.We don’t know if that person is a man or a woman, since whenever she helps us, she either uses an encrypted message or a voice message.Aside from that, those messages only lasted for 15 seconds before they vanished from our inbox. But we don’t mind though, because we know that she is just being cautious.The Empress even told us before that whenever we couldn’t contact that person, it only meant one thing: the Empress gave her a bunch of things to do.Due to this, we don’t have any choice but to use our other hackers in the empire, which includes my childish brother. I couldn’t help but roll my

    XERCEL’S POV:I nodded my head because of this and felt lucky somehow, but we still need to be careful about it since entering the lion’s lair isn’t an easy thing to do.However, in order to find out more about that tunnel and if we can really use it or not, Taylor and I need to explore it. I leaned my upper body a little towards Taylor as I rested my hands on my lap to get near her phone, since she was raising it while it was on a loudspeaker. She looked in my direction and leaned her shoulder on the backrest of her seat.I looked at the phone as my eyebrows furrowed while I pursed my lips together and asked curiously, "It was hidden right?"He answered firmly, "Yes, my lady."I nodded my head as I thought of many possibilities, and I was in the middle of them when Taylor suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, that’s right!" I turned my attention to her again as she added, "It was so hidden to the point that it could not be seen from the view above.""Yes, Miss Jenkins, and I think even the people

    JENSEN’S POV:I heard her heave a sigh as she mumbled, "I understand your situation though, since sometimes we really can't help but let our emotions take over without even noticing that we are already becoming impulsive or different from what we usually are."I nodded my head at her and was about to say something when the two people we were aiming for tonight suddenly showed up.I mumbled coldly as my expression behind the mask changed into an emotionless one, "That's the man." I even pointed the person toward her by cocking my chin in the direction of the hotel as I put my hands in my pockets. She didn't say anything and just observed the man, and after a few minutes, when I saw the woman, I told her again, "That's the principal."I saw from my peripheral vision that she nodded before asking, with confusion in her voice, "What is this mission all about again?"I immediately looked at her as I exclaimed upon the realization, "Oh, right!" I sighed helplessly as she looked at me, and I

    XERCEL’S POV:When we decided to continue our plan of entering the tunnel, we immediately asked Santos for the direction of the exact location of that tunnel. In order for us to be safe, I reminded Santos twice of the things that they needed to do. They must also be ready for any possibility that might happen.In case something does not work according to the plan, we must use another alternative to get out, and that is, all my people that are lurking around the area must create a commotion so that the guards will focus on it while both Taylor and I can get out.Even though I felt somehow uncertain about this because I knew that this was going to be dangerous for both of us, I still couldn’t help but be curious about that tunnel. After all, I also knew that once we found out that this tunnel could be helpful to us in the future, this was going to be a great advantage.On the other hand, I also somehow believe in our skills since this is not the first time that we face such a dangerous

    XERCEL’S POV:That’s the last thing I heard since their voices started to get weaker as they moved far away from where we were hiding. When they were gone, both of us stood up straight, but I still didn’t let go of Taylor’s hand because that was the only thing that was keeping me sane.Maybe this mission is really not for me, so when we go back, I will let the others continue this mission instead of me since I don’t want to have my panic attacks here and be a burden to whoever I will be with.I rolled my eyes at the realization that if ever it happened, instead of having a successful mission, everything would be messed up and fail even more.Taylor whispered in my ear as I felt her hot breath while saying, "Let’s go further to see things even more, but we really need to be careful this time since it seems that they have now discovered this abandoned tunnel that was different from what we predicted."I nodded my head as we continued walking while trying to be very careful of our surrou

Damn it, I will not forgive myself if there is.I was about to turn in the other direction when I suddenly bumped into someone, which made me fall to the ground with a groan, but I immediately got over it and was about to prepare myself to defend myself when I suddenly heard Taylor's voice.She exclaimed happily, "Thank God that you are here already, my lady!"I breathe a sigh of relief at this, but not for too long because my vision is becoming a blur as time passes by.I swallowed a lump in my throat as I mumbled weakly, "Help me to stand up, and let’s get out of here."She nodded her head and looked at my situation worriedly as she asked, "What happened to you, my lady?"I shook my head as I tried my best to say an answer, but my voice sounded hoarse, "I don’t know as well since I really felt discomfort right now and I can’t distingu

    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

    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: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?"I didn't grace her question with an immediate ans

We have to hurry."Kiana knocked out a guard as she mumbled, "Agreed.

We're almost there."Suddenly, a group of guards rounded the corner, spotting the infiltrators.John smirked as he mumbled, "Looks like we've got a welcoming committee."Daryl cracked his knuckles as he muttered, "Let's give them a taste of our skills."A fierce battle ensued as the infiltrators clashed with the g

    THIRD PERSON’S POV:The group wasted no time, moving with calculated precision. 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.
