Masked Assassin

Eros looked unfazed since he was focused elsewhere. He returned his gaze to Keisha before smirking slightly. She gulped, afraid they were caught, and her body felt tenser than before. "I bet you're as beautiful as the way your voice sounds," he whispered sweetly yet intimidatingly. He reached for her mask to take it off but Keisha looked away. He curiously looked at her. "A man just fell on the floor, I do not think your actions are appropriate, sir…" she murmured, her gaze shifting in all directions to see the commotion they have caused. "Please let me go," she requested and he clenched his jaw before doing so. She speaks so softly and shyly, making him feel how fragile she is. But he's completely wrong. This is just a show and it's killing her to make it stop. "Boss–" Eros turned around to the man who called him. "Take care of it, I have important business here." He turned back around but found nothing. The woman who danced with him is now gone. "Find information about tha

"Shadow, no!" Keisha shouted as the maid following them shrieked. She immediately covered her mouth and bowed her head as Keisha stepped forward to stop Shadow's outburst. He was welcomed to the mansion to visit Keisha but after he arrived, he immediately attacked Eros. He's in dangerous territory but he did not care. "What did you do to her?!" Shadow shouted profusely as he pinned Eros to the ground. He breathed with fury seen in his eyes. His fist and jaw clenched in anger. Eros, on the other hand, was calm. Too calm for his own well-being. "Shadow, stop it." Keisha bent over and grabbed his shoulder. She leaned next to his ear and whispered, "Do you want us killed? I'm incapable of combat right now." Irritated, she lightly slapped his head. He breathed heavily before letting go of Eros and standing up. He turned to Keisha with a concerned face before hugging her. "I regret ignoring your calls. I should've been there and this wouldn't have happened…" he whispered with a sigh of r

"Greetings, Mr. Galaz," Reyna uttered with a glint of joy as her dress swayed as she walked. She was wearing a bright sparkly dress while Keisha looked as if she was going to attend a funeral. She was the sparkling sunshine while Keisha was the dark moonlight. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter," she uttered with much sincerity which made Keisha vomit. What a great actress this woman is. Keisha forced a smile as her mother caressed her back in front of the mafia boss. "It was my pleasure," Eros uttered before winking at her. She scoffed and crossed her arms, not hiding the fact of how displeased she was. "Shadow, why don't you come here?" Reyna requested as she blinked her lashes. Footsteps from behind echoed as everyone stayed silent inside the dining room. Keisha could only keep her gaze on Eros, knowing he might react strangely again. "My apologies for what happened," Shadow apologized as he held his hand on his left chest and bowed down to the mafia boss. That's rig

"What was that?" Eros asked at the dining table. When his brother left and went upstairs, the two separated and quietly went to the dining area where their meals were prepared. The maids left after they settled down and this was when they could have a proper chat. "I heard your conversation. I helped you, and you are welcome," she cockingly uttered before cutting her steak. Eros watched her without doing anything else and she felt weirded out by him. "You heard everything?" he asked and she furrowed her brows. Is he worried she heard that she heard him say something about Keisha betraying him like the last one did? Of course, she heard it too. But it was like a missing puzzle piece, she doesn't know who the last one was or what role does that person play. "If you're not going to eat, leave me alone," she declared before clearing her throat. His stares are uncomfortable. She can't just stay silent either. She needs information but he's being too quiet for her to open a conversat

Earlier that day, James was following them around since he was curious about what these two were up to. When Keisha left the restaurant, he saw a man wearing a cap approach her. Of course, he couldn't hear their conversation and went closer to investigate. "I'm glad you're fine, Shadow," she whispered with joy. The genuine her. (What an odd name), he thought to himself. James stared at the two and Keisha was above the clouds to see this man again. Her hugs were tight and it was obvious she doesn't want to let go and so does he. Their relationship is a bond that can't be seen with Eros and Keisha. Those eyes, he's only seen that type of stare once in his life. Keisha's eyes were burning with true love, no matter what type it may be. After taking photos of them, he left. He didn't need to listen in on their conversation. AFTER leaving Eros' office with those photos left in his brother's care, he walked around the mansion while looking at old portraits. As he was strolling arou
