The man known as Mr. Vierro walked past the people watching the big screen. He shook his head in disappointment by their actions. For him, they all looked dumb for being entertained by all this sick way of making money. If only he didn't needed to be associated with this what they call business, he would've taken this place down.
He entered an elevator along with his secretary to get to the office.
"Sir, aren't you worried about your son being here?" his secretary suddenly asked, worry evident on her face.
He glanced at her reflection on the glass.
"His safety is guaranteed. He may not know it, but no one can touch him in that game." he said nonchalantly.
"But why won't you just ban your son from joining here, sir?"
The man sighed. The elevator opened and they immediately walked towards the lone office. "I already did that, but he won't listen to his own fath
Eleonna was escorted to go outside. After she opened the box, the men in grey uniforms just appeared out of nowhere. She was bought to another room separated from where the stage where. She looked around the place and saw a big screen attached on the wall, it had a different footage in every corner of the place inside the game.The girl walked towards it and stared at the highlighted footage. There she saw Audella, Shaun, Celeste, and Fumiya fighting alongside. From the looks of it, her team mates were winning.Her eyes grew wider when Fumiya grabbed the swiss knife and burried it on player 5's chest. She watched as the blood came out from his body. She couldn't believe how easy it seemed for them to stab someone. She covered her mouth when Shaun broke player 6's neck.She felt... sick. She knows what her team mates were capable of, but she couldn't believe that she actually witnessed it herself. She couldn't watch it an
Two days had passed since the game happened. Eleonna had numerous of nightmares for the past two days. Whatever distractions she does, the ghosts of the dead still bothers her. She doesn't even sleep sometimes so that she can prevent herself from dying in her sleep.Eleonna covered her face with her hands as she leaned on her chair. She didn't get enough sleep last night as usual. She wanted to skip class today but her uncle might suspect her for doing something. It's not like she didn't just put her life on the line last Saturday though. Not to mention the failed plan Audella and she made.But come to think of it. Even if she didn't saw that Sy, she met Suzy. Yes, that brutal player who suspiciously protected her and spared her life. That same day when Suzy confessed to her that she had a connection with Eleanor, a phone call interrupted them. Just as she was about to spill some beans, the fate decided to interfere, and now she
Eleonna had her eyes fixated on the dark red haired girl in front of her. It may not seem like it, but Eleonna is the type of student who struggles to stay focused on a person talking on the front. You may be wondering how she managed to get high grades, well the answer is simple. She prefers self study, but this exact moment is an exception."Executive of what?" she asked when the girl didn't add anything.Suzy looked at her with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Does she really have no idea or she just wanted to confirm what she heard? Nevertheless, the girl answered."The Black Shadow...?" she repeated but the girl remained nonchalant. Obviously not getting what she's saying. A scoff left past her lips. "Do you not know anything about Black Shadow? Not ringing any bell or something?"Eleonna shook her head innocently, she looked like a kid who denied to her parents about eat
Sitting in class and watching your professor's mouth move everytime they discuss something is pretty boring, don't you think? Especially when you hate the subject. In Eleonna's case, she doesn't hate the subject nor the professor but she just wishes the time to pass by quickly.Her legs were uncontrollably moving, indicating that she's running out of patience until the bell ring. You're probably wondering why the girl seems to be on a rush.The girl's conversation with her sister's acquaintance, Suzy, was currently plaguing her mind. She couldn't help but to wonder what this Black Shadow is nor why did the dark red haired girl mention it. She noticed that the girl couldn't believe when she told her she doesn't have any idea of what she was talking about. She have a bad feeling about this.The girl is planning to call Suzy after their class like what they had talked yesterday. She just hopes that her sch
Eleonna almost forgot that she was supposed to be meeting Suzy this afternoon. Fortunately, she called her first. The girl couldn't help but to get nervous and excited at the same time. It felt like she was now close to discovering about what her sister did.She immediately bid her goodbye to the team. She actually planned to tell them that she's going to quit being in the team now, but that can wait."Do you want me to drive you back?" Yuan asked as he accompanied the girl towards the exit. He noticed that the girl was in a rush and he couldn't help but to wonder.Eleonna turned to look at him and smiled. "It's okay, I can manage."To be honest, it'll be easier for her if the guy would drive her, but something inside her is telling her not to. Obviously, she followed her inner voice. Yuan eyed her as if trying to figure out as to why she seemed to be in a rush, but failed. When both of them reached
After Suzy left the scene, Eleonna and Liya went silent. The loud music from the club served as their white noise. Eleonna was still trying to figure out what the short haired girl is doing here, and how did she even got in the place? As far as she knows, minor's are not allowed in this club."Liya? Are you okay?" the girl asked, albeit concerned about the short haired girl.She had been silence ever since the dark red haired girl left. It was very strange for the girl too. Eleonna was used to Liya for having a lot of energy, she is the type of girl who can smile all day, but what she is seeing now was complete opposite. The short haired girl's face was void of any emotions. Her head was hang low too.Liya lifted her head and glanced at the girl. She forced a smile as she placed the glass of cocktail on the table. She cleared her throat before answering her."Yeah, I'm okay. I am sorry about what hap
Weekends are usually people's favorite. It was the day when you can rest and do the things that you didn't get to do on the weekdays because of your work or studies, but sometimes weekends are just a chance to reminisce about the things that you did for the past days.Eleonna was sitting on their couch while staring at the television. She was not watching actually, she just opened it to have a background noises while she zoon out. She had a blanket wrapped around her body while crouching at her seat. Her uncle and auntie left earlier for their "date".The girl was envy of them actually. It must be nice to have a break from work, but at the same time she misses her own family. Usually on the weekends, the Salvelle family would go out and spend their time together. Their family was an ideal for anyone. It was almost perfect, but ofcourse fate has their own way of fucking people's life up.If you are wonde
"Are you sure about this, Suzy?" Eleonna asked in a low tone, worry evident on her voice. The girl was standing in front of her locker. She was crouching to try and hide her phone that was situated on her left ear. If someone saw her, they would assume that she is hiding something. Well, that was true anyway. Eleonna is currently trying to hide her phone from her PE professor. The weather was good today so their PE professor decided to take them to the quadrangle to perform their performance tasks. Eleonna is currently on her red jogging pants and white shirt. Her hair was tied in a bun. To be honest, their activity already started, but the girl managed to find an excuse to take the call. Her professor was too busy nagging her classmates anyway so she didn't pay that much attention to her. Eleonna peeked through the door of her locker before crouching back.
Focus. Focus. Focus. The word repeated in her mind. Sitting in a class without knowing what was going on, even though the girl attended the whole week, was damn hard. Being clueless about the subject's topic that was discussed in your presence but still not getting them was one thing, taking a test was even a bigger challenge. This was one of the rare moments when Eleonna regretted not actively listening or paying attention to the class. She thought she could have easily aced this one. Guess regrets really do come after deeds. The girl let out a frustrated sigh and leaned on her chair. "I shouldn't have doze off during discussions..." she murmured to herself. She stared at her empty answer sheets beside the testpapers hopelessly. There were multiple choices in it, identification, and essay. She could answer the essays, it was somehow the easiest part for her, not until it she read the direction telling her to say something about what seemed to be a complicated topic. This was o
There is always a good outcome in everything. No matter how bad your situation is, there will always be that outcome that will make you realize just how that bad situation benefit you. Just like Eleonna's decision of joining their team. She may witness how brutal life can be, she still learned how to fight for something and sacrifice, and she knows it in herself that this is not the end of it all. There is still more to this path she chose to take that meets the eye. And she had to get ready for it. Who knows what will happen next? The scent of the salt sea and night air welcome her as she closed her eyes. Her hair was swaying left and right from the harsh yet calming air. She was seating at the back of Yuan's motorcycle as the former drove. It was past eight when Eleonna decided to go home. She already bid her goodbye to the team and spent some time with them. Yuan, as usual, presented to drive her home. It's been a while since Eleonna got to a seashore. The last time she visited on
