A single misstep, and the consequences were severe. I am Moxie Guerra, known to all who know me as a devil with the face of an angel. At the age of seventeen, I am a woman with high standards in every aspect of life. I insist on the best food, the most luxurious clothing, and when it comes to men, they must be extraordinarily wealthy, attractive, and well-known. Born to my father's mistress, who passed away after my birth, I am scorned by my father's second family. As the daughter of a mafia boss, I was brought up in a perilous environment. No one perceived me as patient or kind. Instead, I was feared, much like my father, which was my Achilles' heel. However, when I discovered that my father had arranged my marriage to the richest son in the country without my approval, my rebellious streak surfaced. I wasn't just the daughter of a mafia boss for appearances. I was as obstinate and egocentric as my father. I decided to flee to a place where my father would least expect me to be. I stopped at the nearest bar for some liquid courage before driving to my mother's hometown. It was a humble province, filled with trees and dirt roads, a stark contrast to my opulent lifestyle. But my survival was more crucial than my sophisticated tastes. However, my car broke down in the middle of a vast highway on the way there. Despite being inebriated, I managed to survive. A man in a black Hummer arrived and came to my aid. His smile was menacing and disconcerting.
View MoreMaxiI feel like freedom after Hazel goes. I left alone, so I immediately dove into my room.This is the first time that I have stayed in this apartment and felt freedom, because since the first day, if it was not Ice, Hazel would come to visit me. Like, what the heck... Aren't they having other things to do in their lives?But after how many hours of laying in bed? I find it hard to sleep. So I stand up to make some milk or something that could make me feel sleepy. But I stop for a moment when I hear someone walking downstairs.Is there possibly someone sneaking inside my apartment? I walk very slowly to hide at the back of my door and grab something that I can use to protect myself. Although I know how to fight, I am not sure if I can survive if there are more than one. I'm still a girl, and if it's a robber or some bad guy who's for sure looking for me,.Wait? What if it is indeed one of my father's minions? What would I do?I shook my head... I have to fight for my freedom, ugh. I
Ice"She's just a friend, baby. I promise that nothing is between us."I heard the other side sigh. Indicate that she's maybe super mad or doesn't care about it."You don't have to explain. I don't care anyway. I just want you to ask your sister to go home. I know that you sent her here. She's maybe busy at school, and asking her to be here is too much."I sigh... "Okay, if you want to send my sister home, maybe send a professional guard or someone?"I said in determine. Though I know that she would be furious, I know it's out of my league, but I can't help thinking that maybe Axel visited her and she fell for that man more. Damn! I don't want to think anymore."What the hell are you thinking, Ice? That's absorb! You're neither my boyfriend nor my friend. So why would I allow you to do that?"I tilt my head, and Jo shouts again that the food is getting cold if I don't come down. And I feel worse every time Maxi hears that."Damn it, Ice! Send your sister home now or else!""Fine, I
IceThe time I landed in Italy, Josephine, one of my friends, and an agent slash mafia mole like me welcomed me outside the airport."Damn Ice, you look hotter than the last time I saw you!"I shook my head. Her long straight hair was in a ponytail, she was wearing fitted high-waisted black leggings, and her top was a jacket. She's a black American, yet she grew up here. Like me, she's a good agent as well. More action than talking like me; that's why we've been friends. I guess the same feathers flock together."So what are you going to do here, knowing that the person you were looking for is not here?"I sigh; maybe Ryan should inform her already."Ryan told me everything. Are you ok?"I roll my eyes."What exactly does that bastard say? Ugh, let me guess?"I raise my eyebrow as I ask that.Jo laughed. "Don't laugh; whatever he says is just a part of his stupid imagination. I have a girl, yes, but she's not Candy anymore,and I tell you this, she'll never be.""It sounds intriguing
Ice"Damn it! How can I fucking call you if you change your fucking number?""I'm sorry I panic. I found out that one of my brother's partners is looking for me. I read my brother's message that I should hide very well if I want to live longer. I shouldn't trust you because the person that my brother was talking to is none other than your boss. But in a second thought, maybe if he finds out that you were helping me, he will surely be mad at you. So I decided to tell you. Because whether you like it or not, you have to help me."I close my eyes in frustration. This girl knows how to stir up my anger. Every fiber wanted to kill her in this instance. If she's not innocent, And not until she gave me the files that I needed could I do anything."So, are you going to help me? Because I can't stay any longer in your dormitory. There are so many people you know, the chances of someone recognizing me are higher if I stay there. I don't want to take the risk."For a second, I thought that she w
Ice Everything was perfect until she came into my life. My life is already planned. But now I have to revise it again. However, it surprised me that I am completely ok with it.But I guess it would not be easy. But I can see through her eyes that she's lying. How could she lie to a well-trained mafia assassin slash agent like me?She like someone? damn it! She almost got me for a moment. Yet as I see the fear in her eyes, I think again.She's obviously lying. But why? Did she hate me that much? or she's not indeed not attracted to me?"Now that you know, can you leave me alone?""Do you think I would leave just because you say so? Maxi, you still didn't know me. I have a very long patience toward something or someone I really like. 'Giving up' couldn't be found in my dictionary. Suit yourself, baby, your stock with me."Maxi is stepping backward while moving forward."Relax, I'm just teasing you.I won't force you if you don't want to, baby."My phone rang; it's Tiago, so I turned aro
MoxieMy whole body is aching. It seems like I did a lot of exercise last night.The sun is hitting me. It's not that hot yet enough to wake me up. The smell of the ocean nearby was in the air.What the hell did I do again yesterday to possibly end up feeling this kind of pain?"Good morning, sunshine!"Ice voice straightens me up in bed. He has this smile that he doesn't always wear.Wait, we fought yesterday, so what the hell has he been doing in my apartment?"How's your sleep, baby? Do you even have the guts to stand up naked in front of me? Was last night not enough?"To my horror, as I took a glimpse of my body, I was indeed naked, like he said."Fuck you, Ice! Get out of my apartment!"I shout from the top of my lungs."Fuck me? Yes, maybe if you just remember how you fucked me from night till dawn, maybe yes, I was fucked."Ice said, smirking while walking toward me. A tray of food was in his hand, while I, on the other hand, was flustered to cover my body."Don't come near me
IceI spit on those thugs who were now lying on the ground of the bar. No one called the police or something; maybe it was because he was indeed the owner of this bar. He may instruct his minion not to call anyone who could help me.I smirk... What they didn't know is that I could fight so well that even if a group blocked my way, I could easily take them down. I'm not a top agent 'Spider' for nothing. Plus the everyday training inside the 'Heart Steel' Mafia group to remain the second commander of Tiago, these thugs were nothing compared to me. They were just low-class scumbags.I dragged Maxi out of the bar as I saw her getting worse. The drugs are slowly entering her body. I can tell that by looking at her face and the way she's shifting.I was amazed that despite the drugs she takes, she can still rely on me. As a normal person, she's long gone naked now.I know this kind of drug makes a person hungry through sex. Those scumbag! I guess it's much better to kill them all at once so
Moxie"Have you seen what I can do to a man I don't like?" I said, annoyed. The liquor Axel and I had drunk did a great job. I stumble on my feet and almost barely see anything. However, I know Ice's seductive voice very well.I can even catch a glimpse of Ice's smile. "Yes, I wonder why you wouldn't do that every time I annoyed you. As I remember, I did irritate you from the moment we met."He said, If I was in the right state, maybe I should have thrown him on Mars. He's the last person on earth I want to see, but to my luck, he's in front of me."Great! Where is Axel?" I said. If he thought that I would come with him, he was so wrong. Enough is enough. I'm done with his craziness."You wouldn't come with him ever, Maxi."I gritted my teeth in frustration."Aren't you understanding? I don't want to see you, so not talking to you is including that damn sentence.""I understand; I just don't care about it. Like I said, we have to talk. What do you want me to do to tame you?"I closed
Ice"What the hell are you up to, Ice? You see, what have you done? What are you going to do now? You're such a tweak douchebag. If you want to join or swim, all you have to do is ask. What is happening to you? Don't you dare lie to me, Ice. I know you have a huge crush on Maxi. But what I don't get is why are you acting like that? Never say that you're trying to be loyal. I know that you have lots of flirts on your phone. You like her yet trying to push her? What the heck, Ice?"Hazel, we're keeping on preaching until we reach our home. While I was asking myself why I act too protective toward Maxi, This is not me. I was born with an iron heart. I don't have an answer for Hazel either. Maybe this is just lust, like what I felt toward her from the first day I saw her.Now seeing her with another man makes me confused."Ice you back!" Candice walked faster. While Hazel stomps her feet, heading through her room,"We need to talk, Candy."Thank God, mom and dad were nowhere to be found.
(Three months later) Moxie I tilt my head, my eyes obscured by a piece of fabric. I won't deny it, I'm frightened. But I need to stay focused. Being the daughter of a mafia boss, fear should not be part of my vocabulary. I can sense danger lurking around every corner! I was born resilient; fear has no place in me. I attempt to remove the blindfold by moving my eyes. The stench of the place suggests it's far from pleasant. I'm seated on a hard wooden chair. If this were to be my last day on earth, I should probably start praying to God, Allah, or whatever deity people believe in. For heaven's sake, I've been kidnapped; survival is uncertain. However, the discomfort of the chair I'm sitting on is currently my primary annoyance. I was immobilized, bound tightly. Whoever was responsible for this clearly knew me well. The smell suggested I was in a dimly lit, squalid place, akin to a beggar's dwelling, if I had to guess. After successfully removing the blindfold, I quickly scanned
