"Messy crime scene, better leave a bit of trace that you were harmed," Daimon elaborated on why he made her palm bleed. She hissed before pulling her hand back and trying to stop it from bleeding any further. The latter chuckled as he searched his pocket with a lingering smile on his face. "Take it," he offered and she looked up and saw him holding a handkerchief. Keisha looked him dead in the eyes while he was still feeling amused, before she grabbed it and wrapped her palm with it. "I see you still have the tolerance to pain. I thought being spoiled by that mafia boss would soften you up," he commented before checking the tip on his watch. Keisha clenched her jaw before scoffing loudly and chuckling. "Spoiled? Hardly. Even if I was, I'd still be a better man than you," Keisha insulted him, and he felt that through his heart.He held in his laugh as a joke came to mind. "Not sure how the likes of you could be a man–" He looked at her body from head to toe until he saw she was glar
As the partners in crime embraced, they felt the warmth of each other's bodies. It felt like a dream after all those months of no contact, all those nights filled with worry. They finally see each other in the flesh, both far from harm's way. Overjoyed by this, Shadow almost didn't want to let go of Keisha. "Shadow…?" she trailed off as she tapped his back a few times. "Let me catch a break," he whispered before hugging her tighter. His heart ached at every thought of her being dead. He was feeling relieved yet the worry was still there. "What happened to you?" Keisha couldn't wait but asked him this and he clenched his jaw. "Your father– I meant Sebastian. He found out I was helping Reyna and imprisoned me…" he explained with a sigh, recalling the times of his torture. Keisha pulled away from his shoulder before looking at his face with worry. "So it was him who did this?" The latter nodded his head and Keisha inhaled sharply. She closed her eyes, guilt was washing over her
"NO LONGER USEFUL?" He slammed the doors to Eros' study, banging for him to open the fucking door. However, there was no answer. He can't figure out what is going on in his brother's head but he's pretty damn sure he's been thinking bullshit.Keisha's missing while Eros is hiding. "The fuck is happening?" James sighed heavily as he put his head against the door. He took deep breaths before backing away from the door. He positioned himself and jolted to the door before busting it open with his brute strength. Upon glancing inside, the room was dark and cold. No signs of the mafia boss inside. It looked like an abandoned home. "Where the fuck is he?" he asked himself while breathing heavily and sweating from the heat he was feeling despite the freezing weather. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration with a heavy sigh. His phone rang thrice before he was able to take it. "What is it?" he asked the man on the other line and there was a slight pause. They were silent for a f
Everything was fuckin' red. The bloodthirsty beast within Eros was awakened. His eyes were bloodshot dark, Ellaine's neck was close to snapping in half, and Eros was barely holding in his sanity. The loud music, the chaos of the crowd, and the plea for him to stop were blasting his eardrums, only fueling his anger. Eros pulled her towards him and bent down to whisper in her ears. "Be ready for a fucking war," he threatened before loosening his grip and pushing her against the counter. Ellaine gasped for air and when she looked up, the mafia boss already vanished in thin air. She took a sharp breath before sitting down on the stool chair. "You okay, blondie?" Her eyes landed on the man behind the counter serving drinks. She smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. "You shouldn't mess with that man. Might be tied to some shady shit," he warned her and he couldn't be more right. She almost scoffed and laughed it off but she stayed completely silent. Now that Eros is against her… what is
KEISHA sighed heavily while sitting on the chair next to the dining table with Shadow and Daimon. They were eating and chatting together yet there was only one person in Keisha's mind that kept her up day and night. "Penny for your thoughts?" She turned to her left and Shadow was tilting his head while looking at her curiously. She laughed awkwardly before taking a bite out of her food. "Sorry, what were you saying?" Keisha raised her brows curiously but Shadow eyed her suspiciously before he continued on with his story. (I wonder if he's thinking of me right now…? Will he ever find out my true intentions before?) She sighed heavily as Eros was occupying every space in her mind and she could not focus on anything. (If he found out about my fake death… would he do anything?) she thought again with a heavy sigh. After dinner was over, Keisha opened her bedroom door only to be stopped by Shadow who was there to talk to her. "You've been very distracted," he uttered and she looked
Keisha stretched her arms and yawned loudly while looking at the crowd of men around them. Daimon, on the other hand, was preparing his hands for combat. No one was paying attention to Daimon who was jacked and tenfold bigger than his opponent. They were all focused on Keisha who seemed too calm given her situation. (A gazelle, huh?) Daimon thought inside his head with a light chuckle. Never thought he'd hear something like that from her. Let alone compare herself to one. He looked around the room and noticed that they were gazing at her. She's built like a doll and looks like a doll. "You'll have my respect if you survive this match." The man who made fun of her suddenly talked. Keisha chuckled loudly before tilting her head and staring at his face. She smirked, and it was evident she had the confidence. "You should respect him if HE survives me," she answered and the crowd roared from excitement. They were building up the anticipation the two opponents looked at each other with a
"Tell me… Why did you abandon Keisha?" When Eros fully woke up and came back to his senses, he couldn't escape James questioning him. They've been avoiding each other all this time, not even a single word could express James' anger and disappointment to his older brother who had the gut to let Keisha all on her own."I didn't know they'd attack her right away," Eros stated before taking a deep breath and looking away. They paused for a moment before he looked back at his younger twin and uttering, "I really didn't fucking k-know." His voice cracked and he stuttered. "I didn't ask that. Why the fuck did you abandon her?" James repeated his question with gritted teeth and heavy breathing. Eros recalled the moment he lost his sanity and inhaled sharply. The vivid memory of Keisha sitting on top of another man makes his heart shatter into pieces. "She cheated on me," he answered and James felt goosebumps across his body. He clenched his jaw and gulped. (Don't tell me he found out about
SEBASTIAN has been quiet for a long time. Ever since he let go of his most valuable assassin, Keisha, he was keeping a low profile. He doesn't have data on where she is and what she's up to which frustrates him the most. He doesn't understand how it was possible to lose track of her but they still did. "Idiots," he whispered to himself before leaning back on his chair. He didn't have anything in mind, no chaos to ensue yet. However, the moment he saw someone running to his desk frantically, he knew something was up. The thought of having a new thing to do excited him. What type of chaos can he do now? "Sir, I've come to report urgent news," the man uttered before bowing. "Go on," Sebastian responded with a sly smirk creeping up on his lips. "About your wife, sir." His brows furrowed in confusion about the sudden mention of Reyna, the woman he already killed and eliminated from his games. "What about her?" he asked before tilting his head and raising an eyebrow. The man breathed he
