THE MOOD inside the mansion changed dramatically. It was just like the weather, one day it might be sunny, and the next it would be a thunderstorm. Things turned around for the better without constant shouting and mood swings from the mafia boss. "His sudden demeanor change is eerie," Taylor whispered to Edith as they baked some cookies. "I hope Keisha is doing well," Edith whispered with a sigh while fixing the bento box where the cookies would be stored. The silence between the two confirmed their worry for her. "Well, I hope these will cheer her up," Taylor responded before patting Edith on the back. They have been considering visiting Keisha for some time now, however, given the situation they thought they could not visit yet. But now things are a little bit calmer, they asked Eros if they could pay her a visit, and to their surprise, he agreed with joy, for some odd reason. Today seemed like a fantastic day for everyone but yesterday, they saw how much of a monster Eros could
MALCOLM, the uncle who raised Eros and a person who was very curious about Keisha's whereabouts suddenly appeared again. He hasn't visited since yet he's back after the annulment. "I miss seeing your wife smile and be bewildered by you," he commented before drinking the tea he was having. "No need to talk about the woman of the past," Eros answered with crossed arms and a calm look. He felt like his uncle was planning something new to mess with him that might involve Keisha. "Do you fancy her?" Eros couldn't help but ask. The older gentleman chuckled and shook his head. "I'm simply curious how you've been since the annulment. You're like my son, after all," he uttered with a glint of joy that disgusted Eros. "I'm doing fine," he responded. Malcolm sighed before lifting the tea cup and placed it back on the table as Eros watched his every move. "I'm with Ellaine now… I realized she was the woman after all," he stated, and his uncle almost tipped the tea over. He squinted his eyes,
DAIMON, the assassin who saved Shadow, was drinking a glass of red wine. He was playing soft and calm music while leaning on his chair. He was in deep thoughts about what he shall do next with the information he found out. "Who would've thought… Eros was just a puppet," he whispered to himself. (After all, what man that young orchestrates such disasters…) he thought to himself before blowing out a sigh of annoyance. "Shame he had to die so soon. An alliance with the man holding the power would've helped me eliminate those fuckers who wronged me." He massaged his forehead, knowing how he missed an opportunity to work with someone who could do anything he desires. "Did Keisha really assassinate him?" he thought deeply.He suddenly remembered their duel inside the elevator. She was fighting for dear life and at the last second when she almost saw his face, he threw her out. The last report he got from the men who got caught was that she returned to their hotel room. "She can't possibl
ELLAINE summoned the assassin who failed to terminate Keisha. He was there in an instant, not to do what she wanted him to, but to get inside information. Based on the tone of voice Ellaine had when she called him, he knew it was urgent and something may be up. He couldn't miss this opportunity to gain the upper hand. "As you command," he said before bowing down. Ellaine fidgeted with the knife with a calm demeanor. "Nothing's going my way these days…" she whispered with a sigh and his eyebrows rose. She clicked her tongue before tossing him the small knife, and he caught it. "I told you the next time you mess up your mission, you'll never see the light of day," she recalled and he nodded his head in response. Ellaine pursed her lips before standing up and walking towards him. "Keisha Lexington… Finish what I assigned to you. Bring me her head," she commanded and he inhaled deeply. He closed his eyes in frustration but the mask he was wearing hides his facial expression. He grip
Keisha gulped as she watched his every move. Before he could open the cabinet he was suspicious about, she shouted, "Do you want some food?" Eros glanced behind him and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What's in there?" He was still persistent. She only laughed in response before walking towards him, glanced at the closet with an annoyed look, before facing the mafia boss again. She flashed the sweetest smile and grabbed his hand. "It's a bunch of clothes I forgot to fold up. Isn't it risky you went here so suddenly?" Keisha changed the topic and with her charms, she turned their bodies around so he wouldn't be fixated on the cabinet. "I missed you, that's why." He sounded emotionless, a baritone voice. Yet his eyes showed loving emotions. He might act coldly but his eyes are the window to his soul. Keisha smiled, not noticing any of this, distracted by the fact he might see Daimon. "I ordered some food," Keisha stated as she slowly pulled him to the couch. Daimon, who was s
EROS was walking to the elevator with a grim face while holding the half-empty cup of coffee in his right hand. He saw a trashcan nearby and poured the rest of the coffee out as the elevator opened. He hopped inside and made his way down to the first floor of the building. He sighed heavily before fixing his clothes until the elevator stopped and opened. "How was your stay, Mr. Galaz?" a woman wearing a hotel staff uniform asked before bowing down. Eros looked at her with a foul and grim look, making her gulp. "It was fine," he muttered in a baritone voice before moving past her. He didn't waste any of his time inside the apartment complex anymore and went inside his car. He placed the cup on the cupboard before staring at it for a while. "Hmmm…" he murmured to himself. He closed his eyes in frustration, not even wanting to think about it. He fastened his seatbelt and started the car before driving off. It took him almost half an hour to reach the destination. The secluded part of
JAMES finished running the DNA through their system and found something interesting. At first, he looked through and there were no single matches. The fingerprints showed two different ones. The first one was Eros', the last one didn't have a match. "It's not Keisha's?" Eros asked with furrowed eyebrows and his brother slightly tilted his head. "Keisha is involved in this?" he questioned back and Eros hissed in anger. "Stop asking questions," he replied. "The fingerprint matches you and another person. The saliva is from the same person with the other fingerprint." Eros sighed heavily after hearing the news. His suspicion was right, there was someone else in the apartment. "Are there records in our system?" James shook his head in response while his brother closed his eyes. "There really isn't anything?" Eros continued to question. "There really is nothing," he tried convincing his older brother. "Then keep looking," Eros replied with annoyance before leaving once again. James g
KEISHA was restlessly trying to contact Eros to tell him what was happening. He needs to know… but she can't reach his number, and she can't risk going to him. "What do I do…?" she fidgeted with her finger as she walked back and forth inside the room. "I'm sure he'd come looking for you once Ellaine tells him you're dead," Daimon, who was sitting peacefully while eating, told her. "It should reach her in about two days," he muttered as he thought of the process of how long those pictures will reach her. "Based on my calculations at least. They'll be taking extra precaution so her name wouldn't be involved in this, we just need to sit and wait for Eros during those days," he continued explaining. "I still don't understand what's in it for me if I help you…" Keisha murmured but not enough for him to hear it. He still wouldn't elaborate what changed his mind into helping her and removing Eros from his target. While she was thinking, the latter saw something under the couch. He bent d
