Eunice
“Hey, Eunice. Are you and Josiah together?” one of my classmates from Philosophy asked me.
Actually, I was taken aback at her question. This classmate of mine—none of them, as a matter of fact—has never spoken to me ever since the beginning of the semester. But now that a lot of rumors are circulating about me and Josiah, she somehow felt comfortable to ask me. I hate these kinds of people.
I gave her a blank stare. “Why do you need to know?” I asked.
She bit her lip and tucked a loose strand of her perfectly curled long hair behind her ear. “Everyone is talking about you and Josiah being so close together,” she replied.
I raised my brow. “What is it to you, then?”
I know when girls ask this. She’s probably one of the hoard girls wanting to be Josiah’s girlfriend. Josiah may not tell me about it but I know that he has tons of girls craving for his
“Hmmm…” I chuckled weakly as Eunice murmured on my chest.We’re in our room, lying on our bed, cuddling. And I couldn’t even think of anything better than this.Her arms are wrapped around my waist while her face rested on my bare chest. I hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head.“Baby, we didn’t use protection again,” I whispered.She slowly looked at me, slightly blushing. “I know,” she replied.I pursed my lips in a thin line. I know that she isn’t ready to have a baby yet and I respect that. I can wait until she’s ready but we’ve just had multiple sexual intimacies without protection.I don’t want her to think that I am trying to get her pregnant. Heck, the last thing that I want her to think is that I am trying to start a family with her even though she’s not yet ready.I sighed and kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry. I c
EuniceIt’s going to start soon.Mitch had already received the letter of the fight information. We’ve been practicing hard on our own. I don’t know what Glyph is up to but I think they are trying to strengthen up, too.15th of October. Same place. Same time. –SeQretThat’s five days from now. Mitch and the rest of the girls are already well prepared. I, too, prepared for that. Five days is a long time to wait but it’s an advantage because we can strengthen more.Except when I think I am feeling so lethargic.“Are you alright?” Mitch asked me.I looked at her. She might have noticed that I am not feeling very well. I smiled to reassure her. “I’m good.”She narrowed her eyes at me, seemingly not buying what I am saying but she just nodded. “You can rest,” she chimed.I smiled and shook my head.
JosiahThis is not what I had expected when I asked her to watch this horror movie.Usually, most girls would definitely be afraid and clingy but Eunice was different—entirely different. While every single woman inside the cinema was busy screaming in fear, Eunice just sat beside me, ate popcorn and…watched. She didn’t even seem so scared.I tried to hold her hand—and that’s the farthest I could go, I didn’t even hold her hand!—and she let me. I tried to feed her with popcorn but she just glared at me.Oh, heavens! What will I do with her to make her a normal girl? Sure she has some moments where she blushes but those were moments when we are alone in our room…naked inside our blankets. Damn.Eunice looked at me intently as we settled ourselves in an Italian restaurant. She’s already complained of how much calories she’s already had for today but she wanted to eat some p
EuniceFuck?Two members of SeQret are down but Nanette is injured. Zinger, apparently and expectedly, used a knife to stab Nanette’s right leg. She’s wincing in pain as Mona assisted her to come near us.Her right inner leg is bleeding profusely. Mona ripped Nanette’s pants where the wound is and applied pressure to control the bleeding.“I hate that bitch!” Nanette seethed with anger.I know. I hate her too.I looked at Zinger who was already smiling in triumph while she looked at us. Now, I won’t hold back anymore. Since they used a knife, I might as well give them a good fight.“Are you next, Gemini?” Zinger said menacingly as she expertly maneuvered the knife on her hand.I glared at her. “Satan really doesn’t play fair, huh?” I said as I picked up a long and thick PVC pipe on the ground.Zinger looked at me with widened eyes. She isn

I must be in the hospital.The last thing I can remember is getting shot by Night Train, who happened to be Kyle Kim as well.Eunice came running to me while crying. I held her face and apologized because I couldn’t do anything to protect her but she cried even more.“Son…” I heard Mom’s voice as I shut my eyes forcefully. She must have noticed the change in my facial expression.I took a deep breath and tried my hardest to open my eyes. I couldn’t feel my whole body. It’s as if I was paralyzed.Mom’s worried but relieved eyes welcomed mine as I opened my eyes. She’s crying as she looked and called my Dad.Mom’s holding my hand and squeezing it. “Thank goodness, you’re awake!” she let out as she
Eunice“Run!” I heard Mitch shout as we all separated from each other.I can hear the siren from the police car that’s just around the corner. My heart raced even faster as I hear the siren getting closer to where I am.“Hey!” One of the cops yelled but he was alone so he didn’t know where to turn to.I got this opportunity to run even quicker and find a hiding place quickly.I can’t get caught now.“Gemini!” I heard Nanette calling my code name from a distance.I looked at the direction of her voice and saw her on top of the brick wall. She’s already climbed the wall and was trying to stretch her hand so I could come with her. Her clothes are already ripped and covered in blood.I quickly dashed to her and took her hand so I we could climb to the other side. Nanette pulled me successfully and we both jumped to the other side.Both of us are pan
Josiah“That hurts!” Hannah’s whines and moans could be heard inside my whole flat as I tried to put alcohol on her wounds. She has a lot of abrasion and bruises this time. This is more serious than the last time.I looked at her with narrowed eyes. “I really don’t understand why you have to involve yourself in a gang, babe. It’s too dangerous!” I scolded her.She just rolled her eyes at me. This always happens after her fight. And she doesn’t even tell if they won or not. I always end up knowing the results from my troupe.Hannah belongs to one of the most notorious female gangs in the underworld called SeQret. One could say that they could easily be the strongest out there if not for their rivals, Astra.“Josiah, you know I can’t quit on my gang. I am their leader,” she explained. “And besides, we need to beat the shit out of Astra before I quit the undergrou
EuniceI have no words.I can’t believe my parents just sold me out there to an arrogant-looking man! The only consolation one could get from a pragmatic marriage is to find a man that’s at least likeable! That Josiah is nowhere near likeable—damn, he’s not even passable!I’m not really the type to walk out on my parents. As a matter of fact, I always try my best to make them proud because that’s how I think it should be.I’ve always imagined my life to be piloted by me, and not by my parents. I’ve never imagined them taking the wheel in my life because I’ve always thought they believed in me more than anyone.I admit I am willing to do whatever they tell me to. However, this is not right. I am willing to do everything—just not this one.Marriage is not a joke. Marriage would mean I would share the same roof with the person I love and trust, not with a stranger who

Josiah“They teamed up with Astra,” Stan said as we huddled in the HQ.Just hearing the name Astra, my heart flutters that it hurts my ribcage. Remembering how my wife is in that gang and how they’ve joined forces with our archenemy is going to be the death of me.Sage sighed.“Does that mean we’ll need to take SeQret’s offer?” Charles asked.“No!” I vehemently disagreed.They all looked at me questioningly. I know what they are thinking. They must be thinking that I couldn’t get over Hannah yet but no. I don’t want to team up with some other gang to beat my wife’s gang.Stan creased his brow. “What’s wrong?”I pursed my lips in a thin line before letting out a deep breath. “Please don’t do that…” I told them.They all looked at me in confusion. I feel so stupid begging them not to do that.
Eunice“The leader of Glyph has been trying to contact me,” Mitch said as we all huddled in the headquarters.The three of us waited and listened to what our leader was about to say but I guess all of us knew what Mitch was going to say.“They want a collaboration.”Glyph is the second most powerful male gang. Next to Ventrex. I heard that Glyph lost five consecutive fights with Ventrex. As a matter of fact, no gang has ever won against Ventrex.That’s how powerful and dangerous they are in the underground world.So, I guess, Glyph was already running out of trump cards. Now, they’re trying to join with us.Nanette shook her head. “I don’t like the feeling of this. If Glyph will collaborate with us, then I’m pretty sure Ventrex would bite SeQret’s bait.”Mona glanced at me. “This is so twisted.”Mitch sighed. I just shook my he
JosiahI was so stunned when I saw my wife walking down the stairs. She’s wearing a royal blue dress lined with sequins. Her hair is pulled in a clean low-bun that accentuates the perfect shape of her face.She’s wearing light makeup but it seems like she’s ready to make up my whole world.Eunice stopped in front of me with a narrowed look. “What?” she asked.I grinned and shook my head before taking her hand on mine. “You look like you’re ready to take everyone’s breath away,” I told her.She blushed at my words as we got into the car.Tonight is the launch of the newest chain of pharmacies of Eunice’s dad. It’s a huge event and a lot of high-profiled businessmen are set to be there.Flashes from the cameras welcomed us as we got out of the car. The valet immediately took my keys and I let him park my car.“There are a lot of press people,
