Lana Castroff
"I never thought you would want to see me." Dean said as he gestured to me to sit. I sat down on the sofa and Dean sat across me.
"I.. might overheard your conversation with Adrian in the hospital." When I was in the hospital, I walked out to find Adrian since he forgot his phone on the table. I overheard him talking to Dean about Phoenix.
"About what? We talked about a lot of things."
"About you want Phoenix to leave me." I said and he nodded.
"You both are not real right? You're only married because he wanted to save his ass from his parents." Dean said like it's nothing. He looked at me coldly and it was obvious that he doesn't like me.
"That's true but why? Why do
Angelo VanderI looked at Phoenix completely concerned. He's drinking alcohol like it's water and he's out of his mind. He looked out the window and it seemed like he got a lot of things going in his mind.I heard from Adrian that Dean made Phoenix choose between ILLICIT or Lana. It was clear to us that he's in love with Lana. He's still not admitting it yet but for me.. it was pretty obvious.Dean was pretty cruel to say that when he knew Phoenix needed both. Phoenix needs ILLICIT as equal as him needing Lana in his life. I don't know why Dean just let the rule gone when he knew Phoenix's starting to be happy."You okay?" I asked as I stopped him from drinking his sixth glass in 30 minutes."Lana wanted a divorce." Phoenix
Lana CastroffIf you think I'm doing just fine, I'm far from fine. My life went downhill ever since I got the news of my father's death. It was a hard blow for me.Now, I'm looking at the divorce paper with Phoenix staring at me. He didn't say a word ever since he got into the apartment. All he did was hand me the divorce paper for me to sign. I grabbed my pen and looked at the paper sadly.All I wanted to do now is to rip those papers apart and tell Phoenix that I love him but it would be a selfish act.I sighed the divorce paper and I looked up to him. I pushed the paper to him so he could sign it."I'll sign it later." He said and I nodded. I got up from the sofa and walked towards the last box of my things that I alread
Dean AlessandroI walked back to the office after Phoenix gave me his ILLICIT card and made the decision to leave instead of staying. I sat down and looked out the window. I could see Phoenix going towards his car as he called someone.It would be a pure lie if I say that I'm not hurt with his decision."Dean." I heard Chance walking into my office and I didn't even bother to turn to him."He.. left huh?" Chance asked as I saw Phoenix getting in the car. I didn't need to answer that because it was clear that Chance knew about it too. Chance stood near the window looking at Phoenix driving towards the headquarter's gate."He's happy, at least he leaves.. because he wants to be happy." Chance said and I could see Phoenix stop
Phoenix SterlingI gave Lana a month for her to heal and I gave myself 2 weeks to get back up after having a downfall for leaving ILLICIT. It wasn't easy at all leaving ILLICIT.I found myself driving towards the headquarters then I realized that I'm not a part of them anymore. I took a big U turn and ended up pulling up on the side of the road thinking about my decision.Not only that, I found myself looking at their contacts. My hands were itching so bad to call them but I can't. It's a close case when I decided to leave.3 days ago, Dean's men brought all of my stuff from my headquarters office. That slapped me again, it was the end of me being in the ILLICIT. None of them text me or call me to convince me to go back.So
Lana CastroffI couldn't express how happy I am being back in his arms. He's really the best thing in life and I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. I never even thought about him choosing me, I thought he would bluntly just end everything.He told me that he couldn't sign the divorce paper, we ripped it together last night."Good morning." I kissed his cheek to wake him up. He opened his eyes and smiled."Why.. are you dressed up?" He asked as he pulled me back to bed."I have to work again." I said and he held me tightly in his arms."Wake up, sleepy head. I made you breakfast downstairs." I wiggled out from his arms and tried to pull him out from the bed.
Phoenix Sterling"I love you." I practiced saying it in front of the mirror. I looked so dumb right now but I couldn't care less."Lana Castroff, you're officially.. uhmm.. Lana Sterling. ARGHHHHH!" That's so cheesy and cringey. I want to scratch the wall so bad at this point."I love you." I said flatly and I sighed. I threw my body to the sofa and looked up to the ceiling. This is so fucking dumb, why am I practicing this three words?I'm a businessman, a billionaire. I've done a lot of speeches especially in front of a lot of people. I've make a lot of million euros deal but why am I acting nervous when it comes to saying those three words? Lana has been saying it and I always found myself not being able to say it.I rea
Phoenix Sterling"Nervous?" My father asked as he fixed my tie. I nodded and my father chuckled. Today is the day where I have my wedding ceremony with Lana. We decided to have our real vows this time even though we already legally married for a few months now.I love her even though I'm still working on telling her that.I'm doing great these days. Lana has been so amazing and she just makes me more happy everyday. She's really the right person for me and I wouldn't want to have it other way.I'm glad that I fell in love with the right person and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.The wedding started and I walked down the aisle first. My family and friends were there and they're so happy for me. They're glad
Leah MorrisI looked up to see the Estelle building in full of admiration. I've been dreaming to work here since I graduated from Harvard. In Harvard, Estelle and Lemiere had been praised by a lot of people for their security and defence technology. Estelle is based in Europe when Lemiere is based in America and Canada.I applied to Lemiere for a job but I didn't get in. There were a lot of people applying because who doesn't want to work for the Gold Lifes? It's everyone's dream to meet them in real life and actually learn from them.Instead of giving up, I decided to go to London applying for the job in Estelle. Estelle company is currently run by the youngest Prince of Denmark, Adrian Nielsen. He was known to be smart, strict and ruthless when it comes to his job. I'm completely nervous because this is
Dalton SeranoBeing born as Declan and Danielle Serano is a definition of privilege. Not only it made me born with a silver spoon but also born with a whole new level of arrogant.I don't look down on people based on their money, status or their looks but I do look down on people based on their brain.I hate.. stupid people."I pick Cordelia." I said to my teacher and it made Cordelia automaticly walk towards my seat. She sat on the empty seat beside me."Aren't you sick teaming up with me again and again?" She asked."No." I said and she rolled her eyes. After we picked out teams, the bell rang indicating that it's
Declan Serano"Danielle, please.. I beg you stop running like a mad woman." I said as I held her tightly because she's been acting like a kid going from one thing to another.I'm regretting my decision on bring her to the zoo now."Declan!" She whined as she tried to get away from me."You're pregnant for godsakes!" I said and she glared at me. I let her go slowly and let her look at the penguins. I held her hand not letting her go because she will go jumping and running around like a kangaroo.I'm currently in the stage where I'm the happiest. I never thought I would be this happy. I have a wife and a kid who is still in her belly. I have awesome family and bestfrie
Danielle SeranoI looked at my calendar and tried to take a deep breath. My period was supposed to come 3 days ago but it's not coming. I was trying be as calm as possible.I called my secretary to buy all the pregnancy test brands out there. I'm nervous and Declan will come home tonight from Milan."Mrs. Serano, I tried to get every brand. I bought about 17 test packs.""Thanks, Gia." I said as I grabbed the plastic bag from her."Is there anything else?""No, you can go back to the office." I said and quicklt went upstairs to my room. I peed in a paper cup and started do all the pregnancy test. I'm starting to get
Danielle Leone"Danielle." I turned to the door to see my father walking in."Can you give us time alone?" I asked my staff and they all walked out from the room. I got up from my seat and turned to my father."You look so beautiful, Danielle." He said completely looking at me in awe."Reminds me a lot about your mother.""Father." I held both of his hands and he gave me a little nod."I guess today is the day where I.. give you away." He said and I smiled trying my best not to cry."Declan is a really good man and he really loves you, I'm glad that he's the one th
Danielle Leone"Didn't I tell you that this is a bad idea?" Declan turned to Angelo."Yes, Declan. You already said it like.. a thousand times already." Angelo said and I chuckled. I cut my sandwich and continued to eat again."He loves it because he thinks he's Tom Cruise." Adrian pointed out and Angelo rolled his eyes."True." Dakota said."Babe!" Angelo protested."Let's not talk about that." I turned to Chance."Then talk about what?" Phoenix asked."Who is going to be your best man, now that you both are enga
Danielle LeoneAfter the press conference happened, ILLICIT announced their member list officially to the public. Ever since my name was up there, the paparazzi never stop following me. I heard from Aria that she even got asked about the twins when she's out getting coffee.ILLICIT made a team right away that we will have our own bodyguards once we're outside. A lot of media are trying to get interviews with us and they even dare to pay big money.Angelo even joked around that he should take those money and ruin the interview. Not only that, now a lot of people are trying to work with ILLICIT.It was another level of chaos."When will you move here?" I asked Chance a
Declan SeranoI gathered all the ILLICIT members which now includes Damien and Edmund. I'm glad that they joined ILLICIT because it will make ILLICIT much more stronger than before.After Phoenix came, they team is complete. I looked at them all one by one."We're going to cut ties with Europol." I said and they all looked surprised."We will be a private company and will openly sell our weapons to trusted people or organizations. We will modify a lot our weapons, gadgets and vehicle so it won't fall into the wrong hands again." I said as I got up from my seat."After last year, Europol was stupid enough to side with Lycan. I know you guys still maintain a good relat
Declan SeranoI waited for Danielle in the garden and I looked up to the sky. I was so nervous. I turned to see Danielle sitting on the end of the bench."What? What do you want to talk about?" She asked."You're not single! You're not single, okay?" I stated and she raised her eyebrows."Is it that hard to ask?" She asked and I looked at her gulping nervously."I- I don't know.. I do- I don't know how to express it. You know I'm not a word-driven guy." I said completely frustrated."Congratulations! You're still single." She said as she clapped her hands. She got up from the bench.
Danielle LeoneI looked down to the ground nervously as Declan walked back to back in front of me. I bit my bottom lips completely ready to hear him giving me a long lecture about our relationship."Single?" He suddenly asked and I looked up to him."Single?" He repeated as he raised his eyebrows."Are you single, Danielle?" He asked again."Yes." I said and he looked at me disbelief."What?""I mean.. I am single." I said pointing at myself and he put his hands on his hips."I need to go to the hospital, my ears
