“ARE YOU sure Andrius will love that?” Helen asked Samantha as the latter put the Pinakbet (veggies that were cooked with fish sauce) in the bowl.Samantha smiled. “Of course. Why wouldn’t he?”Helen rolled her eyes. “Hello… Andrius grew up here and Pinakbet is Filipino food.”“Andrius will not have to love it… like is different to love. And I’m sure he will like it. If not, then I will not talk to him—”“Stop being childish, Sam. Ever since you got a boyfriend you became like that. Where’s the independent and strong woman that I used to know for years?”Samantha handed over the pot to the maid beside her. “Okay. Sorry.” She sighed. “I don’t know but I love how Andrius took care of me and coax me every time I became stubborn. Maybe just because we have never been in a coaxing period. You know… when we saw each other again, we just became officially on.”“That’s not the reason some. You must act according to your age. Be mature enough. Andrius will definitely be tired the whole day bec
WHEN SAMANTHA woke up the next day, Helen was already gone. Which seems weird. Because Helen usually informs her whenever she’s leaving. And the weird thing was—he got the news from her father. Andrius also leave home too early since he got an important shoot from Mr. Monde’s company.“Dad.”Her father who was reading a newspaper peeked to the side. “Yes, honey?”“Mr. Monde is your friend, right? The one who asked for Andrius’s service.”Her father folded the newspaper and placed it on the side table beside the sofa. “Yes, why?”“For how long?” she asked, and she bites on a stick of her strawberry Pocky.The old man furrowed his forehead.“I was talking about your friendship.”“Oh. Well, I met him at a convention in Germany about two years ago. But we first met during an auction—I mean when I attended an event three years ago.”Samantha creased her forehead and bit again on Pocky’s stick. “You mention an auction. What’s that for?”Mr. Johansson sat straight and hemmed as he cleared hi
ANDRIUS WAS indeed right in his instinct that he will not like the model that Mr. Monde mentioned yesterday.How could be the world so small as he was seeing Maddy in front of him, who was smiling flirtatiously at him? But he just remained emotionless.“Andrius, this is my goddaughter, Maddison. She’s the one I’m talking to. She will be joining the rest for the photo shoot.”Maddison was about to give him a friendly kiss when he stepped away. Thus, Maddy almost bumped into the mirror.“Uncle, I knew him. He's a family friend. Dad and his father were best friends during their college days. And we used to be childhood friends.”“Oh. I didn’t know that,” said Mr. Monde who acted astonished and Andrius knew that it was just an act.Andrius could easily notice if the person is just faking his actions or not. he can also sense if that person has another hidden motive.“She will just wear a ring, watches, bracelets, and necklaces, right?” he said.Mr. Monde nodded, “yes. And I hope you could
WHEN THEY climb upstairs, she requested that she’ll be sleeping inside his room which Andrius kinda love and hugged her in rejoicing.She just told him to take a shower first in her room and will get back once she was done. She’s humming as she opens the shower and lets the water fall from it. She didn’t stay longer in the bathroom and went out to get dressed. She just wore a simple nightdress before deciding to go to Andrius's room.When she entered Andrius's room, she can’t see him but she’s hearing drips of water in the bathroom. Seems like he’s not yet done bathing. She then walked towards the balcony. She hugged herself when the cold breeze touches her skin. She looked down at the street and saw how the lights beamed the whole place.As she looked farther, she saw how enchanting those city lights were. Lights from tall buildings make the whole place like art. Trees swayed, and dried branches creaked when the wind blows. Her father's mansion is in an exclusive division near the ci
“I USED to be an undercover agent under the CIA,” Mr. Johansson started as he got out of the car. Yesterday, Mr. Johansson informed him to woke up early because the old man needs to show something.As much as Andrius wanted to wake up Samantha, he just can’t when he saw how she was in deep sleep… snoring softly, which makes the woman adorable.They went inside the Silver Dust hotel and he walked next to Mr. Johansson.“Five years ago, I retired. And decided to build my secret agency.”Andrius won’t seem shocked since the old man already told him about it at the hospital. It was supposed to be a secret between Mr. Johansson and his agent at that time, but it happens that he eavesdropped as he heard Samantha’s name.Mr. Johansson investigated after he got the report from the police. As the old man has a bad presentiment about it. And a person won’t be paranoid not unless he’s expecting someone to sabotage or collect debts from him.As he learned the truth about Samantha’s father, he the
SAMANTHA ALMOST threw her phone when she can’t contact Andrius. Damn! she repeatedly cursed under her breath as she walks back and forth, biting the top of her thumb frustratingly.Why didn’t the man wake her up? And he didn’t even mention that he’ll be out early. She asked the maid where he could be, and she just felt at ease when the maid told her that he was with her dad.After lunch, she decided to visit the hotel, since she knew that it was where his dad’s office was. And maybe the two went there. She’s getting pissed because she can’t contact her dad too that’s why she just decided to pay a visit.But when she got there, Marcy informed her that the boys already left about an hour ago.How unfortunate she could be. She then bid goodbye to Marcy and called Helen on her way down to the first floor.Helen then invited her to watch her perform. Since Samantha already missed the Peregrine Club, she then agreed.The show will start at three and it’s just a quarter to two in the afterno
SAMANTHA HAS ALREADY done everything she wanted to do the whole day, but Andrius is not yet home. She can’t stop worrying because it’s the first time that the man never calls or send her a message about his whereabouts. She did try to call her father and even the old man, is not responding.She glanced at the wall clock and it was already nine-thirty in the evening. The two maids already bid goodbye as they already needed to rest. She just let them and left them alone in the living room as she waits for the boys.The two were stressing her out. She could have stayed at the Peregrine Club much longer or she could have slept at Helen’s apartment—their apartment when she was still dancing at the club.She lazily tapped the television remote as she scanned different channels. She can’t find any good movie to watch. In the end, she just turned off the television.She lay down on the couch and stared at the chandelier. She heaved a deep sigh. Suddenly, she then realizes how boring her life
ANDRIUS WOKE UP EARLY the next day. he was delighted when he first saw Sam’s innocent face. She caresses it and kisses her on the lips. Samantha then woke up and they both have their breakfast.“Where’s dad?” she asked the maid while they were eating.”“He already left, ma’am,” the maid replied, and she just nodded.“How about you babe, what time will you go to work?” she asked as she slices the steak on her plate. “Are you still working at Mr. Monde?”Andrius sipped on the cup of his coffee before answering. “No. I’m done with him and now focusing on your company.”She nodded, “good. I will not let Maddy gets closer to you. Anyway, how’s dad, as he teaches you? Is he strict?”Andrius let out a soft chuckle. “No, babe. He’s kind. What makes you think that he’s strict?”She shrugged her shoulders, “well… he always wears a serious face, that’s why.”“He’s good—we’re good. Nothing to worry about, babe.”She nodded as they both finish their food. When they were done, Andrius climb upstair
WHEN THEY SAY, expect the unexpected… you should believe in it.Maddy had a great time with the boss and exited the room wearing her wide smile. She was about to step her left foot on the staircase when she saw the boss’s mistress—Ruri, approaching her side.She crossed her arms and looked at her as she holds onto the shiny wooden railings.“Where did you go?” Ruri asked which makes Maddy form a sly smirk on her lips.“Got some time with the boos, why?”Ruri smiled, but there was something hideous in it and Maddy has a bad feeling about it.“You mean you did sex with the boss?” Ruri asked as she put her hand on her back seems like she was getting something.“I… I—well, she’s the one who initiated it and wanted me to pleasure him—” Maddy didn’t finish what she was about to say when Ruri aimed her gun at her and plant a bullet in her forehead without hesitation.Maddy then fell and rolled into the stairs and Ruri just blow the muzzle of her gun as she climbed down, gracefully.Basilisk'
SAMANTHA’s Baby bump is getting bigger as time goes by and there’s still no progress in her condition. Andrius, Helen, and Mr. Johansson almost lose hope but every time they saw her fighting every day, their hopes keep on growing.It was a cloudy day when they have visitors that they never expected to come—especially, Andrius. He couldn’t believe that they will visit.“Son,” said the voice he never heard for a long time since he stays in Vegas.His mom.Andrius family were there—visiting them. His parents, Dylan and Athena, and along with his sister his best friend, Chuck.By the looks of it, it seems like they’re having a reunion.His mother went closer to him but he just remained at his place—sitting beside Samantha.His mother looked at Samantha—and he doesn’t know if her mother was showing her real emotion—if it was really a pity or what.“What are you all doing here?” Andrius asked as he glanced at them and turn back to Samantha and held the woman’s hand.“I’m so sorry, son.”And
MR. MONDE’S thunderous voice roared inside his mansion when he woke up because when he went to seek Maddison, the woman was not there, and worst, when he opened her closet, her clothes were gone.His two guards who are now kneeling on the ground keep on trembling as they looked useless in Mr. Monde’s eyes.The two guards let Maddy slip away since they knew that the woman is kind and even offer them sex the other day and Mr. Monde found it out—now, the old man was holding a gun and aiming it at the guard on his left and never hesitated to pull the trigger and the guard fell on the cold floor, lifeless.The man on Monde’s left was about to get up and run when the mad old man shot him in the back of his head.His maids were just standing there and seem unbothered since they already knew what the old man was capable of.The man climbs upstairs still madness is visible on his face. And dialed Basilisk's number to seek help.In just two rings, the man picked up the phone.“Good day, Bas,” M
THE NEXT DAY, it’s still four in the morning when Maddy left her uncle’s mansion and booked to a hotel and she tells Basilisk. The man then came back to Vegas to fulfill the mission that came from the boss.As Maddy expected, her phone vibrated and her uncle’s number appeared which she just declined. She knew that her uncle will get insane in finding her and there was a possibility that he will let his men find her—but Maddy is not that dumb to think about it.Thus, Maddy then booked a room with her friend's name—one of the receptionists at the Silver Dust hotel. Her uncle will never bother to find her at Silver Dust since Mr. Johansson is already about his true color.When she gets there, she just takes a nap until she woke up at ten in the morning and just let a bell boy deliver her food—she must not wander around since she’s in the enemy’s territory and she doesn’t know if Mr. Johansson also knew about her… being involved with Mr. Monde.She just exited the room when she heard a kn
MR. JOHANSSON was busy discussing with the team when he receives a call from Helen saying Andrius left when the man receives a call.Mr. Johansson then let agent Wise track Andrius and they found out that the man is on his way to California.“What’s wrong with that dude?” Spencer asked Wise.“I don’t know. He seems in a hurry. Looked at the red dot, it’s moving fast,” Wise said as they were watching on the monitor.“Yeah. And why does he need to go to L.A.?”Mr. Johansson joined their conversation. “His family lives there and whatever it is, maybe it’s about their family. I will call him,” said Mr. Johansson and left his two boys.Mr. Johansson was dialing Andrius's number and good thing, the man answered.“Where are you going?”“I need to see that fucking Dylan,” he answered, furiously.‘Why, son?”“I received a call that he’s something to do with the accident—”“No. son. However, called you. He or she was just luring you. And you left Helen and my daughter—shit! You need to go back,
ANDRIUS ALMOST lost hope as the days goes by. There are still no changes in Samantha’s condition. Weeks already passed, Helen was already discharged by her doctor and Sam was still there, lying on her hospital bed with different kinds of apparatuses inserted in her body.He almost punches the doctor when he stated the fact that only the machines who’s keeping her breathing. And what most painful news he received yesterday was, Sam’s pregnant.Samantha is pregnant with their first child—without her knowing. Andrius wanted her to experience how happy she was when she found out that she was pregnant—he wants to see how she react—how she informed him about it.He cried all day when he heard about the news. And almost get dehydrated because of the exertion of too much liquid from his body.Helen came in the morning and was the one who look for Sam as the doctor to sleep—they injected him a Propofol to put him to sleep.“What did the police say about the investigation?” Helen asked as she s
ON THE OTHER SIDE, the enemies have been rejoicing with their plan’s success. Bowser was throwing a champagne party with his colleagues and Maddison was at the corner having some intimate session with Basilisk—the right hand of the Boss.They almost reach another stage when Bowser interrupted them. “Excuse me, can I talk to my goddaughter for a minute?” he asked Basilisk and the man nodded but right before Maddy walks away, Basilisk grabs her arm and pressed his lips on hers and it lasted longer which makes Bowser heave a deep sigh.Basilisk threw a death glare at him which makes the old man jerk back.“I’ll be back,” Maddy replied in her flirtatious voice.Maddy followed her uncle into the balcony of the second floor of the hotel.“What is it uncle?” she asked as she crossed her arms and lit a cigarette. She puffed smoke and leaned on the railings.“You should stay away from Basilisk. He’s dangerous and committed multiple crimes.”Maddison chuckled and stops to puff a smoke again. “H
THEY WERE exchanging laughter until they hop inside the car. “If he’s handsome, his smell could be a major turn-off,” Helen said as she started the car engine.Samantha buckles her seatbelt. “Yeah. But don’t forget about his Lamborghini,” she mumbled.Helen laughed. “Even if he got one luxurious car, his smell was a major turn-off for me,” she replied and maneuver the car.They were heading home when Helen tried to step on the break but it didn’t work. “Sam…” Helen called Sam whose eyes were closed as her head leaned on the headrest of her seat.“Sam!” Helen called but a little louder this time but Sam is ignoring them as the latter feel sleepy.“Oh. My. God!” Helen blurted when the car brake still won’t work. She started to tremble as she tried to maneuver the car straightly and it was a good thing because there were just a few cars passing by the road.“Sam…” Helen began to cry and dodged Sam’s arm, the latter then opened her eyes.“What—Helen!” Samantha screamed when a fast car tru
HELEN rushed into Johansson’s house when she received a call from Samantha’s maid. When she got there, she saw unconscious Samantha laying in her bed. Helen’s heart beats fast as she was typing Sam’s father's phone number and she began to get mad when the man wasn’t answering the phone.“Did you tell this to Robert already?” Helen asked the maid but the latter only shook her head. She pulled her hair because of frustration. “Did you call a doctor?” But the maid just shook her head.She then tried to call Robert’s phone number again—but it was just ringing. “Damn!” Helen cursed.She was about to dial it again when she heard Sam’s moans. She then rushed towards her bed and sat on the side.“Hey,” she started as she began to stroke Sam’s hair, “what happened?” Helen asked even if she knew what. Well, she almost shouts to death when she saw the box with a cat’s head.Who was in his or her right mind to send a gross gift like that?She searched the box but nothing was there but it was just
