REYNA crushed yet another piece of paper that suddenly appeared inside her room. No matter where and when she looked, she could not find who the culprit was. Someone's threatening their safety that knows its way around the mansion. "This is not good," she whispered to herself. It's almost two in the morning and she is sleepless. The mansion promised to be safe is turning into a time bomb. "I really need to talk to Eros," she whispered to herself with frustration before her anxiety made her search her room for a second time in case it was bugged. However, she did not find anything again. When the sun came up, she was restless, and without a doubt, her mind filled with questions and concerns she wanted to bring out the moment she meet Eros. Before she left her room, she blocked the door from the inside and if anyone tries to break in, the items would be out of place. However, when was told that breakfast was served, the only ones there were Daimon and his little brother who was havi
DAIMON was in his office chatting with Shadow as they planned for defense instead of offense. If anyone was to make the first move to attack, it would be the enemies. "I've been so busy that I haven't seen Keisha in such a long time," he muttered while they were on break drinking coffee. "Why not visit tomorrow?" Daimon questioned and the latter nodded his head. He's been so caught up in his own problems that he keeps brushing over visiting his partner in crime, the reason he was able to be here in the first place. Keisha was the only woman he wanted to protect yet now that the possibility that his sister is alive… His focus went to his sister. The odds of the mansion being attacked is low yet they still need to be prepared. "The mafia is split in half because of Eros' sudden reappearance… Some are reluctant to side with him yet he is powerful enough to reassure them," Daimon stated his thoughts with a sigh. "What about you?" Shadow asked and the man looked at him with a curious
"Do you wish to braid your hair today, Ms. Keisha?" Edith, who was brushing her hair, asked with a sweet tone and she simply nodded in response. The vibe in the mansion seemed to have been better ever since Eros revealed he was alive. This lunch, she'll be meeting someone important. "It's a shame our friend got transferred elsewhere," Keisha muttered, a little disappointed that Taylor was moved to another department a month or so ago. Now it's only one person helping and serving her. However, the mafia boss promised to make a salary increase to help support her family. "How about you? What's your goal?" Keisha suddenly asked and the latter paused. It seems there was a lot for her to stop what she was doing. "I don't really know… I'm glad I was saved. An illegitimate daughter like me doesn't have many goals," Edith answered with a chuckle. (Ah, that's right… She's living for herself only. No one else has her back…) Keisha thought to herself, feeling pity. She knows how that feels, b
It was past dusk and Keisha just arrived at the computer lab of the mansion where James had been working countless hours to retrieve whatever was in the USB drive that Ellaine handed her. "What's wrong with your face?" she immediately asked after noticing the bruise on his face. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw before glaring at her. "Why do you think?! Eros almost killed me because you told him we accidentally kissed!" he shouted, already in a bad mood and she added more to his stress. Keisha only chuckled before sitting down on the chair next to him and looking at the computer. "Cracking the code is almost done, that's why I called you in." He cleared his throat before typing. She leaned back and watched closely how he was hacking into it. It was unbelievable how much security a small USB drive has. "Where's my brother anyway?" he asked and she shrugged. Eros has been gone since earlier because of well… preparations for the possible attack. It's dangerous so everyone has
"It's been a while since we have laid down together," Keisha muttered as she squeezed herself closer to Eros who was just a breath away. Under the blankets of his bedroom, they were hugging each other. She can feel his breath touching her skin. "Y-yeah," he murmured and her brows furrowed slightly. She looked up and saw Eros just staring above her head into nothing. Keisha pushed him slightly and looked at him with confusion. "Are you alright?" she asked out of concern. "Yeah?" he answered unsurely with a nervous smile. "Now that I look at it, you don't seem well. Do you have a fever?" She raised her hand, checked his forehead's temperature, and found it hotter than usual. Eros was also sweating which made her more concerned. "I'll get you medicine–" Eros grabbed her hand and put it back beneath the blanket before hugging her tightly. "I feel this way because we haven't been together like this in a long time. Just let me enjoy our moment," he murmured sweet nothings that made
"YOU'RE not going to let him die, you understand me?!" Keisha slammed the doctor against the wall out of frustration. It's been hours since the surgery started and the doctors inside the operating room are yet to finish. "Yes, Mrs. Galaz, however, you also need to calm down and rest or else you'll also be hospitalized," the doctor reminded her with sympathy. "No one here survives unless Eros does. I would kill every single one of you–" Keisha, who was overpowered by her emotions, was pulled away from the poor doctor. She looked behind her and saw Shadow pulling on her and dragging her away. "Let me go!" she screamed and tried prying away but he held her firmly. "You need to fucking calm down," he whispered to her as he pushed her against the wall and held her hand together. Still stubborn, she tried retaliating again. "Do you think you're helping by causing a ruckus?! Eros is being operated on and you're over here threatening the doctors!" he screamed, finally making her pause and
All day without rest, Keisha stayed by Eros' side in the hospital until the response of their enemy finally came in. "Do you think I can trust you to take care of him?" she asked with crossed arms as she eyed Reyna who just arrived at the hospital. "Do what you want. Someone will keep watch so don't do anything stupid," she muttered before standing up. "He's my son, Of course, I'd take care of him," Reyna responded firmly and Keisha sighed heavily and nodded her head. She had no intention to trust her with this but she has no choice but to leave. "Sebastian will be there," she informed her and waited for her answer. Reyna took a deep breath before looking over at Keisha with a raised eyebrow. "Are you planning to make a peaceful exchange or not?" Reyna asked curiously and as a response, Keisha shook her head and turned around for the door. "Kill him," Reyna told her as Keisha walked out of the room to face what was to come. That's the plan, to end things once and for all. No more
IT WAS early in the morning and Keisha was waking up from her sleep. She groaned in frustration as she hugged what was next to her. "Eros…" she whispered as she stared at his sleeping face. She was falling back asleep when she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at who she was hugging. "A pillow? Hah," she muttered how ridiculous she was to hallucinate about Eros. She threw the pillow away and wrapped herself in her blanket. It's almost been a month since Eros was hospitalized and she has been handling things until he wakes up and recovers. She immediately took a bath and got ready before heading to the hospital. "How is he?" she asked after entering his hospital room and removing the cover she used. The doctors who checked on his progress informed her of the situation. "His body is recovering rather quickly, there is a good chance he will wake up soon," he muttered and she nodded her head. She sat by his side and held his hand. "I really hope you wake up soon," she whispered with
