"Keisha seemed to be not feeling well. Was there anything else that happened inside the shooting range?" Eros asked one of the guards that were following them. His wife hasn't left the bedroom since they got back and wouldn't eat any food that was given. It was so unlike her. "A man left the bathroom before she went out as well," the person reported and his eyebrows rose in anger. "What? And you didn't bother to check?" he asked in annoyance. He slammed his hand on the table, thinking it might be Shadow who met her behind his back. He opened his phone and showed a photo of Shadow but only confusion was shown on the man's face. "He was a bit older," pertaining to the man who exited the bathroom."How about this man?" Eros showed a photo of an older man. The guard examined it and nodded his head. "Yes, it might be him." Eros sharply inhaled before closing his phone. "I have not seen him properly yet but the man earlier looked a bit like him despite wearing sunglasses and a hat," the m
"You're underestimating my strength." Keisha held the rope with both her arms and wrapped it around his neck to pull him away from her. She grabbed each end and pulled them apart to squeeze his neck. The pain made him let go of Keisha. She took this opportunity to pin him against the wall but he managed to back away fast enough to make her slam to the wall behind them. She groaned in pain as she felt blood drip down her shoulders. "Fuck," she whispered, knowing that her scar was ripped open. The door of the elevator closed and it started to go down. She used her foot to trip him down. After he fell to the ground, she grabbed the gun on his belt and pointed it at his head. "Unpredictable," he commented in amusement. After Keisha thought she got the upper hand, he grabbed both sides of her legs from behind his back and pulled them to the front. He flipped both of them over, making him on top. "Aren't you a little dangerous?" he asked with a chuckle before grabbing the gun and poin
"You were drugged. I already escaped but I came back for you," she explained with a bit of spite and confusion about her own choices. Eros stopped treating her wounds and put his hands down. Keisha seemed to be puzzled and out without her thoughts intact. "Why did I do that?" she asked before lifting her gaze to meet his. Her mesmerizing blue-green eyes, the perfect mix of the ocean and the forest, filled with mixed emotions. Now that she knew they were safe, her walls completely broke down. (I could've finished my mission only if… only if… I had the guts to leave this man behind,) she furiously thought. It was an impulse decision to save him. Keisha looked at Eros with a grim expression. "I hate you. And I hate myself for still having a heart." She started laughing and was almost in tears. Eros has almost no experience with comforting someone but always tried his best for her. When James called back saying they were near the hotel after about thirty minutes, the husband and wife
KEISHA stared at the ceiling, while still thinking about the man who attacked her. He was powerful enough to send her flying out of the elevator. And now, her whole body felt like a brick wall, and her head felt like it was having a party inside there. "How am I not dead yet," she whispered to herself before sighing heavily. She heard the door to her room open and a large figure entered the room. As he got closer, she noticed it was Eros. She looked away before closing her eyes again. "Those who helped the assassins are imprisoned. What do you want to do with them?" Eros stated and she was filled with confusion. She turned towards him with a confused expression. "You're asking me?" He nodded his head before sitting down on the bed. "Yes, after all, you're the mafia boss' wife and they dared to harm you." His voice turned deep and growly. His face remained cold and expressionless but his eyes showed how merciless he would be. "Tell me anything you want me to do, Keisha. I'll do anyt
He sat down on a chair and crossed his legs as he stared at the lowest-ranking leader who had been sweating and fidgeting the entire time they were inside the interrogation room. He tapped his finger on the table three times to get the man's attention. "Who told you to assassinate us?" Eros asked with a small smirk. He was led here after confessing that he was the one who tried to do such a thing. Dylan, the first name of the lowest-ranking leader, looked up while his lips shivered. He tried his best to answer Eros' question. "I-I did it on my own," he answered as he gripped what was left of his finger. "You're the lowest-ranking out of all the leaders beneath me. What did the higher-ups offer you once they take my throne to take their fall?" Eros hit a bull's eye as the man broke down crying. How pathetic. Eros could only laugh at his stupidity, letting himself be used by other leaders. "If you were smart enough, you could've had me as your ally. If only you told me those who plan
Keisha's eyes widened and she shook her head profusely. "I'll make sure to let the doctors do their job, bye!" she said before ending the call. She felt like she'd have much more of a terrible time if Eros was the one who would take care of her. She handed the phone back to James and he let the doctors back inside. "I'm guessing you got convinced?" James asked as he looked at his watch and saw almost twenty minutes passed since the start of their call. "I didn't know you'd be looking for Elaine. I thought you hated her," James joked and she blinked a couple of times. The doctors probably told him that, making her even more annoyed than she already was. "Please just leave me alone," she pleaded before shooing him away. James chuckled. "I'm glad you're feeling better," he rejoiced before leaving the room, finally giving her some piece of mind. Keisha stayed silent as the doctors checked her body and monitors. She thought deeply about the situation. Eros will surely not harm her aft
KEISHA also saw the broadcast live on television while she was eating breakfast in her room. Not having much of a reaction, she paid no attention to the television anymore. She didn't think he'd pull a stunt like this yet was fine with it. Using her public facadé to make an advantage from the enemy was a smart move, but a risky one. Either way, Keisha was pleased with Eris' decision. "When can I go outside? I haven't seen the sun in so long," Keisha asked the doctor who was checking up on her. He sighed heavily before looking at the time and pointing at the wheelchair inside the room. "You will need assistance if you plan to roam around outside," he claimed and her eyebrows raised. "I don't need it," she reasoned. "Then you will not be going outside," he declared and she let out a loud groan. She rested her head on the small table on her bed where her food was placed. "Who will be watching over me?" she questioned and he didn't answer. She looked up with a confused look before th
KEISHA has not seen Eros for almost a few days, making her wonder if it was because of what happened when her family came by to check on her. On the good side, she's recovered immensely and has already been active outside her room. It's only a matter of time before she can start kicking and punching ass again. While at the dinner table, she and James were eating alone, sitting across from one another. The utensils clang with the plates as they chewed their food in silence. Such a big empty mansion. "Aren't you curious why Eros hasn't been around?" James suddenly spoke and she raised her head. She put her utensils down and tilted her head. "Should I be?" she wondered and he smiled. "I know you are curious," he rephrased his sentence, making it a specified statement. Her face stayed emotionless before she started eating her food again. "He's punishing those who wronged you," he said as if answering the question in her mind. "More like punishing those who almost got the best of him.
