Chapter 16 - Uncle
Last Updated:
2023-03-09 22:24:00INSIDE THE mansion, Eros listened to the recording given to him by his brother. "You're finally useful for once," he mentioned, testing James' patience. He literally helped him shut up his ex-girlfriend yet this is how he repays him. How annoying.
"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving," he murmured before walking to the door. Eros watched his brother's back before telling him to stop walking. James turned around with a raised eyebrow and his brother leaned back on his chair.
"Why did you give her that dress?" he asked and James shrugged.
"You don't give her money to buy what she wants, so I just got her that. It wasn't even supposed to be hers, I bought it for someone else–" Eros chuckled and shook his head.

"Keisha…?" Their uncle asked, waiting for her to speak up. Eros noticed something was wrong and held her back to support her body weight. She breathed heavily yet they were short breaths. She stared at the man's face and she could not be mistaken. She faced everything that could threaten her life. She went through thick and thin while escaping death. Yet why? Why can't she react or even pretend? She closed her eyes and took deep breaths that felt like it took her forever. She could barely hear anything they were trying to say to her. Her heartbeat was slowing down as she calmed herself and she slowly gained her strength back. "Pardon me, I just felt a little dizzy," she apologized and stood straight back up. "Is my scar that scary?" he asked while laughing. She awkwardly laughed and avoided eye contact. He has a big scar from the side of his cheek to the edge of his nose. "Her name is Keisha and she is my lovely fiancée," Eros introduced her and kissed her forehead. "She has

KEISHA'S vision was a blur. The house was spinning and her balance was wobbly. She couldn't contain her posture, her back was hunched and she was struggling to walk. It was as if she was reliving a memory that she almost could never recover from. After talking to that man, she only managed to stay calm so the brothers and everyone else wouldn't find her suspicious. After walking to her room, that's when everything fell into pieces. Including her. She gasped for air as voices in her head mumbled words about her parent's assassination. Her body fell to the ground after trying to walk to her bed and she clenched her heart, trying to bear the pain. (He tortured them! He killed them!) Her thoughts engulfed her. A few years back, she believed that man was killed off. She felt at ease, and her worries vanished. But to see him in the flesh, talking and laughing while mocking her, her soul shut off. He is the reason she is here today. He's the sole reason why this is her life now. She scr

Keisha was being followed in the gloomy woods by something unknown to her. Another nightmare she can't escape from. She kept sprinting yet her feet wouldn't go anywhere. Her legs felt numb and she could barely walk, let alone sprint away. A force was keeping her from going anywhere and she could feel eyes watching over her. In an instant, Eros appeared in front of her, holding a knife to her throat. She froze in the spot as his glowing red eyes looked like a divine god who would punish her for her sins. "A hopeless assassin about to get assassinated," he uttered with a scoff as the tip of the knife pierced her neck. "Stop trying to cross me, Keisha. My side is what will get you what you desire," he whispered like the devil bargaining for a soul. "Or you'll just get killed," he added before slicing her throat. THE SOFT mattress and silk bed sheets were soft to the skin as she woke up in cold sweat. Her hands explored the bed below her as she wondered how she got there. Keisha slowly

HER mouth was agape when she opened the box given to her. She can't believe they managed to get their hands on this small dagger that could easily kill you with one prick to the finger. The moon shone brightly through her balcony, enough for her to see the case she was opening. She kept her light shut and avoided everyone till night came. (Does Shadow want me to kill him tonight?) she wondered to herself as she played with the dagger. The chemicals were separated from the dagger, making it useless for now. It's just an ordinary knife but sharp enough that if you hit an artery, it can be critical. "How can I do this without arousing any suspicion?" she asked herself, knowing the first suspect would be her. Now that she's back to her senses after meeting their uncle, she thinks more logically about what to do in this scenario. "I can't just kill him straight away," she frustratingly muttered. But the thought of her parents being alive if it wasn't for this family urges her to ma

He carried her in his arms after she passed out all so suddenly. He hid behind the corner to avoid being shot as he opened a door leading to a tunnel to escape from this mansion. This was built so that in case of disasters like this, they can easily escape. He can feel the blood rushing out of Keisha's body as he walks down the tunnel. Upon arriving outside, he put his trust in his younger brother reluctantly. "Why are you going back in?!" James exclaimed while holding Keisha in his arms. "Business," he answered coldly. EROS was talking to the doctor when he heard a slight groan from a distance. He looked back and saw Keisha slowly waking up from the bed. He walked slowly and as she saw his figure near her, her brows furrowed with confusion. "Where am I?" she asked as she felt the pain below her shoulders. Eros looked at her coldly and she remembered last night. (Fuck, I failed to kill him,) she thought to herself, wanting to punch her own face. "Why did you save me?" she wondere

ALL DAY, there was no sign of Eros. He was like a gust of wind that passed by. When the day of the wedding arrived, Keisha was bombarded with accessories, makeup, and brushes. Five women were taking care of her hair, body, and face which is too much for her to handle. The pain of the gunshot wound was excruciating yet her tolerance to pain is letting her get through this without a flinch. “You look magnificent!” The woman putting on her makeup exclaimed. She looked in the mirror in front of her and saw her dolled-up face. A few hours ago she was a dead corpse but now she is more lively than ever but her soul is still dead inside. “Thanks…” she murmured before closing her eyes again. “Aren’t you a lucky girl?” the short-haired girl doing her hair commented and her brows raised. “I wouldn’t say that,” Keisha uttered, making the girls chuckle. They look a bit older than Keisha but close enough in age. “May I know your names?” Keisha asked and they smiled at her. “Soon we will be

"I didn't know your wife would be that aggressive," a gentleman joked and the table filled with men laughed. Eros looked at his phone and saw a picture of their kiss make headlines. A look of surprise was seen on his face and Keisha's face was filled with no surprise or shame. The feeling of anger vanished as soon as their lips touched. Keisha brightly shines in the photo and she looks like a real princess. She was the star of the show, and everyone bought it. Now at the reception, everyone was escorted to their assigned tables. The event hasn't started and Keisha is changing into a dress she can actually move around in. The dining area is huge and can hold over five hundred people and all seats are occupied. Everyone stood up and clapped when Keisha walled inside the mansion wearing a short yet elegant white mermaid dress. Eros excused herself from the gentlemen he was talking with and approached Keisha who was talking to the women who helped her get ready. "You look dazzling, dar

"OH, Keisha," her stepmother uttered with emotional eyes and hugged her tightly. Keisha's eyes landed on Shadow who was behind her stepmother. She smiled but Shadow looked away. "You're the most beautiful bride." For a moment, her words felt genuine. But she knows who the real Reyna is. "Thanks, mom," she simply answered. "Find who the woman in red is," Reyna instructed and she nodded her head. "We might find his weak spot through her," she elaborated. "Why did you sabotage my mission only to make it this complicated?" she furiously asked and her stepmother sighed, not providing an answer. "I would've preferred not having a mother than having you," she added, making her stepmom let go of her. "Shadow," Keisha called out after the hug from her mother. She leaned close and hugged her partner in crime. Shadow soon caved in and hugged her back. "I failed," she whispered with disappointment and anger to herself. Instead of getting mad, he hushed her. "Just wait," he answered and she n

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
Masked Assassin Chapter 112 - Revenge, at last
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

"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

"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

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
Masked Assassin Chapter 108 - Sister
"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
Masked Assassin Chapter 107 - Possessive
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

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 sighed heavily before leaning back on the bench. "Why don't you play a bit more?" he sweetly asked his little brother so the two of them can be alone to talk. The kid obliged and once he was far enough, he turned to Keisha with a serious look. "There's one more thing you need to know," he started off. Keisha raised an eyebrow expecting some news. He cleared his throat before revealing what he knew. "We might've found Shadow's sister and already contacted her." Keisha's eyes widened and she covered her mouth. She couldn't believe what she just heard. "What?" she asked with wide eyes, that was all she could say. "Shadow is obsessed to know if she is actually his sister. He's doing everything he can to make the DNA test happen." She breathed heavily as her eyes kept shifting. "Is that why he hasn't been here since?" He nodded his head and she inhaled sharply. "I know he'll do anything to find his sister. There's always been the slightest bit of hope in him to find her alive,"
