He found himself cornered with no way up or down. The building stood near a river; perhaps he could find an opening to escape that way...A door smashed open, and a huge guy stepped out—fucking huge. He was known as the beast of the clan. Mostly dumb and chained, he must have been released when the alarm sounded.His eyes moved towards Diego, and he grunted, killer instinct flashing in his gaze."You've got to be kidding me," Diego muttered. He pulled out a gun and a knife. "Let's get this over with.""Die!" The huge man roared and approached Diego. Diego did the same, dodging the arm that flew towards his face, while slashing one of his legs.With swift movement, Diego climbed to his neck and shot his vertebrae. He jumped down after killing the man in ten seconds.Another bomb sounded, the ground beneath Diego trembled and cracked open, but he was fast enough to hold onto the ground above him.His gaze moved below. People were burning alive. He even saw Dona... He looked up and tried
Candy gasped waking up from her sleep. It was like a strange feeling that suddenly surge through her. Diego? Her thought remind her and chest tighten. She sat up, her movement waking Yazmine sleeping beside her up."Candy," Her hoarse voice sounded. "You're okay?" She asked.Candy turned to her and swallowed. "Yaz.. I.." she paused but her lips."It's nothing," Candy said. "I just need to go to the restroom."Yazmine watch her stood and head towards the restroom. She sighed worriedly. Candy should be so happy and cheerful because she finally got what she wanted.. but..The person she need, is not right here with her."When is Mr. President coming back?" Yazmine gaze went to the window. "I hope they are okay."Minutes later, Candy came out drying her wet hair with a clean towel. She slowly sat beside Yazmine, her look was unreadable."You know what condition you are in right now. You shouldn't get yourself worried. It'll only hurt you and your child..." "Yaz," Candy called causing Ya
[GONZALEZ COOPERATION]Yazmine's eyes searched for a figure at the restaurant. She spotted Candy sitting alone with her system before her.Yazmine closed the system, and Candy gave her a questioning look."Don't overwork yourself," she said."I'm trying to cover up for those that are absent.""No, you're trying to distract yourself," Yazmine said. "What does the little one want to eat?" she asked, staring at Candy's stomach."You're going to expose me one day, Yaz," Candy shook her head, and they both chuckled."Did I miss something?" Jackie appeared in her suit looking hot, pretty, and professional."Damn girl. I don't think the men at work would focus," Yazmine laughed but got interrupted by her phone ringing. It was a strange number."Hello?" she answered. After a while, her eyes widened. "What?!"Candy and Jackie exchanged looks. Yazmine ended the call and looked at them."Jameson, Aiden, and Einstein are in prison," Yazmine broke the news, not believing it herself. Candy and Jack
Griffin's eyes widened; the sharp tip of the glass was close to his face already. He managed to block the attack using his left hand. However, the glass pierced through his palm, tearing off the flesh underneath because of the force."Fuck!!!" Griffin roared in pain.Old Mavis let out a small smile. She is really Diego's wife. His smile dropped when Griffin flipped Candy over.He was now on top. When Candy tried to move, Griffin took one of the glass pieces and placed it on her neck. His teeth gritted as he tried to hold the pain she had inflicted. She tried to move."One move and I swear I'll cut your fucking neck!" he barked, and Candy stayed still.She suddenly started to laugh, surprising Griffin. She asked, "How did you kill him?""Tssk... Why do you want to know?" he asked."Am I not allowed to know how my husband died, big guy?" she asked.Vincent held a disturbing look the entire time. His thoughts were in total mess.Griffin was seeing a completely different woman. Not the on
"That's dangerous," Jameson retorted."Yeah... I heard Griffin was planning to force her to be his bride, so she had to..."Jameson's fist hit the table at her words. All eyes turned towards him."Calm the fuck down, Jameson," Phoenix whispered, her eyes scanning the military personnel around. They now had their full attention on them.One of them marched towards them with a frown."Is anything wrong, young man?" the man asked."Your food tastes bad," Jameson glared at him, walking closer. "Why are we eating crappy things here? Besides, who is this little son of a bitch here?" Jameson pointed his hand at Phoenix.Phoenix tried to control her face from contorting into a confused one. What is Jameson doing?!"Keep your cool and don't cause any trou—"Jameson didn't let him finish as he smashed his food on the man's face. The prisoners around were shocked. He then took Einstein's food and poured it on Phoenix's head.Phoenix saw Jameson wink at her, signaling to just follow his lead."He
[BEFORE THE BOMB ATTACK] ___ Romeo sat at the park, his depressed gaze remaining on the picture in his hand. It was Diego's childhood picture, the one he found in his room. He had been staring at it for a long time. He came to reconcile with his son, but his effort only angered him. Diego doesn't want to see him. His speech and presence alone irritate him. Would he ever get the chance to reconcile with him? Maybe not... He had done terrible things; he doesn't deserve pity. Diego was right, he started the whole trouble. He was too blind with his own selfish interests to realize the family he had. The moment Romeo saw his wife lying dead on the floor, he could swear his heart shattered in the cruelest way. He killed her and then deprived Diego of receiving motherly love. 'Until you die, Romeo! Keep apologizing until your last breath!' Romeo deserved every hateful word Diego threw at him. "Do you want an ice cream?" A tiny voice snapped him back to reality. He lifted his
Not too far away, there was another building. At the top was Vincent with a telescope. When the building exploded, he gasped and shifted back. He actually saw the two familiar figures at the building window and was shocked to see Romeo and Diego.Diego was now in the river, drowning, while his younger brother... his brother... was dead.There were five of them watching, but he was the only one who saw it.Shock etched every part of his face. A hand held his shoulder."Mister, we have to leave now. Our work here is done," a voice said behind him. Hearing no reply from Vincent, he frowned. "Is there something wrong?" he asked suspiciously.Vincent snapped back to reality and shook his head vehemently. "Nothing, of course," he breathed out."Let's go. The military and firefighters have arrived."Well, since Diego is drowning, he shouldn't worry, right? There's no need to tell Griffin about it.But still, he couldn't shake off the feeling of losing his only brother...____At the hospital
Candy stayed frozen, her eyes staring at him for an immeasurable amount of time. It's not a dream, right? Her Di is standing right before her! She reached for his face with her hand, afraid he would disappear."Di? I... it's really you," Candy's voice croaked as another round of tears streamed down her face. Her heart burned within with the fear of losing him again.Diego held her face and smiled painfully. Gosh, he must have scared his wife, and he hated it. He is back, and this time, he'll never leave her side. He'll take down those fools that caused this... in a gruesome way.But first, he needed to soothe his wife's heart. That was why he came for her face."It's me," he whispered in the most gentle voice ever."I missed you," she said, wrapping her arms around him, inhaling the scent she missed so much. "I missed you so much, Di... don't ever do that again. I'm so mad at you and at the same time glad... I love you so much, Di. Please stay safe and...""Shh," Diego ran his fingers
