Eros was closer to the car, on the brink of hitting it. When they reached the bridge, the metal floor and ridges were rusted. It looked so old yet it was able to hold their weight. The sound of the metal clinking against the motorcycle wheels was loud and rough. Once they reached the middle of the bridge, he commanded Daimon to get ready. A few minutes later, both the car and motorcycle reached the end of the bridge and were able to drive faster once they were out of the metal ground. "Now!" His scream echoed in the woods as they drove further. Without looking back, he already knew they were far enough from what was about to erupt. Daimon pressed a button creating a loud and deafening sound at the very start of the bridge. The noise was so loud that everyone cringed from the screeching noise. Those who were driving in the middle of the bridge felt eerie. It felt like the bridge to their deaths. Turns out, their worst fear and the worst thing that could happen in this scenario woul
ELLAINE received a massive slap across the face from her father. She already expected this with no doubt in mind. She acted calm and collected when she was driven back to the city but now, she has to deal with her father's wrath. "You killed most of our men, YOU caused us to lose manpower!" Again, she was slapped across her face. She stood there with a cold expression as if unbothered. Malcolm, who was in the same room as them, stood up from his seat and approached the father-and-daughter duo. "I'm sure your daughter has a backup plan, doesn't she?" he butted in with a small smile toward Ellaine. She nodded her head. "Yes, trust me, father." Malcolm smiled as he massaged her father’s shoulders. “Take a break, will you? I’m sure your daughter will do just fine,” he convinced the old man as they walked away from Ellaine who had a red face from all the slaps. Malcolm turned his head back and smirked at her and she looked away. She looked like a mess. Her clothes were torn apart, she
"Eat you for breakfast or eat breakfast with you?" he asked with a teasing grin and she scoffed and pushed him away. She stomped her way towards the others and Jake ran towards her. He raised his hands up asking to get picked up and she easily did so. "How have you been? I didn't know you were visiting here," she said in a childish voice. "He's actually going to stay here for a while," Daimon answered, and her lips agape a little before she turned towards Eros with a curious look. He shrugged his shoulders and she smiled widely. (Seems like he cared after all,) she thought to herself. "I'm glad you're alive, Keisha. You didn't have to keep your secret from me," James uttered, feeling insulted and betrayed. She laughed loudly and shook her head. She didn't know how much chaos her fake death would cause the twin brothers until it was told to her. "Why don't we get breakfast?" she asked them and they nodded their heads. She carried Jake all the way back to the mansion with ease. But b

A loud shattering of glass echoed from upstairs inside the empty mansion. The workers went silent while Keisha inhaled sharply. She pouted her lips and looked on the ground with a slightly amazed look on her face. Everyone was on their tippy-toes as they walked through the mansion as if they would be punished for moving. The eerie sound of slight chaos upstairs sends shivers down everyone’s spines. “I guess she had the guts to say it,” Keisha whispered to herself as she walked through the silent halls. Now feeling enraged, Keisha suddenly snapped back to reality as she recalled the past events that had happened to them. The things that the wicked woman, Ellaine, told her about her adoptive father being the murderer of her parents is something that she should keep in mind. It makes her sick to the stomach. If it is true… If she was fooled, Keisha has no idea what she might do. Now… more of the truth is coming out. Starting with Reyna first. Her heels echoed as she made her way
KEISHA stood there in silence as she look up at him towering over her. A slight smile appeared on her face as they met eye to eye but Eros looked displeased, angry even. Without exchanging words, they stare at each other for a few seconds with heavy breathing. “Did you know?” he asked with a raised eyebrow and clenched jaw. She sighed heavily and looked away. “Does it matter? You know now,” she murmured silently and he sharply inhaled. “You should’ve told me, Keisha. Why didn’t you?” he asked before stepping closer to her and she took a step back. Keisha looked him dead in the eyes before raising both her eyebrows. “Wasn’t it better she told you herself? You’re lucky I convinced her to tell the truth,” she argued with him but he scoffed at her remarks. “Lucky?” He stepped back and looked at the ceiling before looking back at her. “If any of what she told me was true– My life is a living lie! Don’t you understand?” He finally snapped. Not even feeling a bit of sympathy, Keisha laug
WHEN night came, Keisha couldn’t help but be bothered by what happened between the two of them. Instead of working together to solve this mess, they instead pulled apart from each other by fighting. She groaned loudly while she tossed and turned on the bed before finally sitting down in frustration. “He still kept what he knew from the beginning!” she argued with herself. “Though… he did it to protect me…” she argued unsurely, now defending his actions. Keisha groaned again before massaging the temples of her forehead. Having had enough of her thoughts, she stood up and checked the time. It was past midnight yet she was sleepless. “So fucking bothersome…” she murmured to herself before leaving her room, greeted by the empty halls. For some reason, her feet had a mind of their own, already walking around to look for Eros. The first place that she checked was his office yet it was locked and there seemed to be no one in there. Again, walking around in the dark empty halls she stumb
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,"
