Masked Assassin Chapter 24 - Night with Him
"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

SHADOW tripped over the table and he groaned painfully. "Get a grip on yourself," Reyna said as she walked inside the room. He looked around and saw the bottles of alcohol scattered around the room. "You've been drinking all night, have you got no shame?" she asked and he groaned, still on the floor. It's like taking care of a child. Ever since Keisha was sent on her mission he has been drinking on most nights and developing an alcohol addiction. He was suffering each night, longing for her. And now she's finally married to that monster. It's killing him how he can't do anything but to sit and wait for the opportunity to strike another attack. It was excruciating pain and alcohol was the only way to stop it. After Reyna left his house, he stayed on the floor for hours. He couldn't tell what time it was already but he faintly heard footsteps behind him. "Care to welcome me?" The blood on her body rushed to his brain and he stood up in defense mode. He came face to face with the man

JAMES sat down in his brother's office and sighed heavily. "Whoever the attacker was, it ain't her little lover," he commented right after arriving in the office. Eros looked up from his computer and raised an eyebrow. "Don't say that," Eros warned. "Well, of course, there's still a possibility he did it–" Eros shook his head and cut off his brother's words. "Don't call him her little lover," he clarified and James' mouth slightly opened. He nodded slowly before saying, "Right. As I was saying, he doesn't seem to be lying. He was drunk and admitted to everything but not the night of the attack. The chance is low for it to be him," James elaborated and Eros nodded his head. "How about our uncle?" James shrugged. "Haven't investigated. Besides, what will he get from killing Keisha?" he asked his older brother and they both couldn't figure it out. This crosses their uncle as a potential suspect in this case. "How's… Keisha?" He hesitated to ask due to his brother's suspicion of his

THE AIRPORT was surrounded by security officers in black uniforms and there were eyes everywhere. They were all on guard and ready in positions. An important person was about to return back to his homeland and they need to take every precaution possible. The citizens in the vicinity seemed to be confused with the number of guards, and quite scared of what may happen. When the plane landed on the ground, they anticipated his arrival. One by one, each passenger was exiting the plane. He's one of the richest of the richest in the world yet he decided to fly economy. A smart decision to make his presence blend in. Private jets are dangerous since not many can afford them, and he can easily be spotted. The moment the man stepped foot inside the airport, he sighed heavily and looked around the area. The loud chatters, the f

REYNA walked down the halls as everyone bowed down to her feet. She has absolute power over the syndicate, next to Sebastian Lexington’s power. Their names constantly change, and so does their persona. She never really knows who the real husband she married is. She sighed heavily before entering her office. Her day was already ruined, she hoped the news will give her light.She waited for Shadow for a little while and he came a little later. He was holding a folder and looked a little disgruntled. Reyna eyed him from head to toe and guessed what was on his mind. “He told you to go without him?” she asked with disappointment and confirmed with his nod. She reached her hand out for the file and he handed it to her before bowing down. He was feeling heartache after not catching a glimpse of Keisha he was barely thinking straight on the job. He wanted to at least see her beauty, even if he can’t touch or talk to her. His head was pounding with stress and was dismissed from the office aft

"You– You pervert!" Before he can even look at her, her hand swiftly hit his face, making him look to the side, as she grabbed the towel away from him. She wrapped the towel around her body and when he looked back at her, she was already covered up. Her movements happened in a split second. Eros held the sides of his jaw as he stared at her with a smirk. "You know we're married, right?" he teasingly asked and smoke was coming out of her ears in anger. "In contract, yes." She slammed the door close and made sure to lock it. She felt shivers down her spine after Eros stared at her like that. She slapped her face a couple of times to snap out of it. "I can't believe that bastard." Instead of making it a problem, she tried to forget what just happened and finished taking a bath. Eros, on the other hand, left her room wondering why she took another bath when she just finished taking one before meeting her father. The smell of her shampoo filled the room when she arrived to meet her f

KEISHA was exercising and training for an hour now when her phone made a sound. She controlled her breathing and drank some water. She opened the message and it read as follows, "The cooking jar was empty. I have to take out the trash too." Her eyebrows raised, realizing it was Shadow. They formulated their own code words using normal conversation sentences in case they needed to do this in secret. The message decodes, "I miss you. I want to kill him now." Looks like someone is running out of patience. She sighed and closed her phone. Nothing was happening and she was so bored. It's been almost a day and a half since they got married yet everything was uneventful. "God strike me down," she begged as she stretched her arms up. Footsteps from behind interrupted her thoughts. She looked behind him and saw Eros wearing a tank top that showed off his bulging biceps and arms. She blinked a couple of times before standing up. "You want to be stricken down, huh?" he questioned before grabb

"And there you were, bragging as the mafia boss' wife. It backfired, didn't it?" Keisha, who recovered from the impact, woke up to the doctor's foul words. The smug look on Elaine's face, while she was checking Keisha's well-being was enough to cause a headache. The night was a blur right after the incident. "Your touch must've been too disgusting for him," Elaine added in a whisper, like a knife to Keisha's throat. She only woke up a minute ago and she feels so attacked. "Really? That's not how he felt at our wedding night," Keisha said in quick wit and the woman's smirk was wiped away. Keisha stood up from the bed and started walking away. "You need to stay in bed, Keisha," the doctor warned but received a scoff instead. Keisha turned her head and glared at her before walking off. "Insult me again and you'll be on that bed next time around," she declared before waving goodbye to Elaine. Keisha sighed heavily and scratched her head. "I can't believe I got knocked out from a s

Masked Assassin END
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
Masked Assassin Chapter 111 - Bargain Offer
"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
Masked Assassin Chapter 110 - Luring Her In
"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
Masked Assassin Chapter 109 - Rat
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
Masked Assassin Chapter 106 - Chess
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
Masked Assassin Chapter 105 - Training Room
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,"
