2024-10-29 19:42:56Unhurriedly, my hand lifted to knock on the door but again, it got hung in the air. Instantly, my hand plunged at my side and a hefty sigh left my mouth. Was I going to do it? Of course, I was, it was why I came here in the first place.
Would he exonerate me?
Sadly, my head dropped drastically, my feet suddenly coming off more intriguing than my life at the moment. I bit my bottom lips when I felt them start to wobble again. Oh God, what was awry with me, why was I getting so volatile?
I sighed again, my hand went up to knock but the door suddenly opened and my breath fixed, my heart ceased for a second and my hand was caught in the air.
There he was, the man that had given me wakeful nights, looking so...so...troubled?
His broad form seemed flimsy, even though he was wearing glasses, I could see the sourness in his eyes, the bags that were so apparent, his face was worn ou

"I have three sisters, and two brothers, Gabriel is younger than me. My parents used to rule the biggest Mafia in Mexico, we did everything illegal and its leadership is passed from father to son, the strongest and bravest son, it doesn't matter who's the oldest or the youngest. As soon as we get to the age of seven, we are exposed to the underworld, taught everything we needed to know about survival, undergo training, and at fourteen, we can finally have our first kill. It was scary and they got everything recorded and let us watch the type of monsters that we are but they didn't let us recover, we were exposed to a battlefield where we killed to survive, We killed without blinking. I met Jean and Lyndon at fifteen, they were siblings and were from another mafia, a smaller one. I tried keeping Gabriel away when he got to fourteen, I didn't want him to be part of our messed up world, I agreed to do anything as long as he wasn't exposed to killing at that age which I paid the u

Picking up an apron, I hung it over my neck and tied the strings around my waist, and fold up my imaginary sleeves before wheeling around with a wide grin on my face. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Tristan's Kitchen...""That sounds awful, man" Jarvis snickered from where he stood at the edge of the counter, a chart in hand. I waved him off."Shut it, Jarvis, this is my kitchen and today we are going to make a special delicacy, a Mexican dish taught to me by my wonderful boyfriend""That's gross" Jarvis gagged and I glared at him and he chuckled while I continued."Am planning on making Sean lunch and you won't ruin it for me, Jarvis" I pointed at him accusingly and he lifted his hands in surrender before chuckling again. I walked over to the counter where different kinds of food ingredients lay. "Do we have and did everything?"Jarvis rolled his eyes before holding up the cha

"Since you would be having an extra shift today, I decided to make you something" I tried to lighten the mood as I placed the lunch box on the table and shifted it towards him, he stared at it before his grey eyes went up to meet mine and his lips curved into a teasing smile and his gaze averted to my hands, I consciously hid them behind my back, away from his sight."You hurt yourself trying to make this, didn't you?" He inquired and I chuckled nervously."It's nothing serious, nothing to worry about" I quickly opened the lunch box and grinned widely, proud that I did some out but Sean wasn't staring at the food, he was gazing at my fingers that had blisters from burnt. I watched as he stood up from his seat and walked around the table to my side, he grabbed my hand and I flinch at the pinch that shot through me."It's fine," I said, trying to draw back my hand but he held it firm and grabbed me over to his chair, he sa

My elbow was mashed against the window as the car moved on the road, while the back of my fingers was clasped against my lips, relinquished in my thoughts. I embezzled a side glance at the driver of the car. His gaze was welded on the road, his hands moving on the wheels and his expression was barren, something similar to what I always see on Sean but less concrete.I was succumbing in anticipation and I could tell Jarvis was not any better, we both loathed being clueless about a situation and Gabriel had chosen to do just that since he picked us up from the University, we had been on the road for more than thirty minutes and every second that ratified by felt like it was squirming and felt like misery and I couldn't wait to get out of it.Another minute went by and only the breathings of three men could be felt in the car, the anxiety fixed, thickening the air around us, it was starting to feel rather suffocating and I was getting depleted

I ignored the intense gaze Sean was giving me as I wrapped his knuckles with a bandage and dried his hair with a towel. It had been more than an hour since we came back and I made him take a shower and sat him down on the toilet and cleaned his injuries without saying a word while he continued to gawk down at me and finally, he spoke."You are mad at me"Was I mad?Oh yes, I was mad but it wasn't enough to suppress the sadness I felt in my chest, knowing I would have lost him if we had arrived later."No" I answered, putting the towel away as I finished drying his wet hair. I wheeled to leave the bathroom but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back and I ended up falling on his lap and his hands circled my waist, holding and trapping me in place."Am sorry""Am disappointed Sean" I spoke. How could he do that? Lyndon nearly died, as much as the guy was a

«One Year Later»"Fellow classmates, today's an important day in all of our lives. We are gathered here to celebrate more than a decade of yearning, learning, we are shrouded by the people who taught and inspired us throughout our lives, parents, family members, and teachers..."Suddenly, he stopped skimming and looked up at me and I raised an eyebrow."Why the fuck do I have to do this?" Jarvis grunted and he pushed the notebook away from him to my side and rested his body back with a garish tiff and crossed his arms over his chest."I thought you were happy, we are finishing man, I can't wait to get out of this shithole" I grinned, picking up the book."We still have a month to do this shit, why do we have to start preparing now. I could do this the day before graduation"I eyed him. "you seem grumpy today, did Levi not fuck

"You gave him your address?!" I squealed in anger for the nth time since I entered the apartment and my boyfriend delivered the outrageous notification.Sean looked from his papers and stared at me through his glasses. He shrugged at my outburst. "He's a good kid"I placed my hands on my hips. "A good kid that has a crush on you"He shrugged again. "It's just an infatuation, it doesn't mean anything" he went back to reading his papers, leaving me fussing and his relaxed temperament was not helping me! Then he looked up at me and smirked teasingly. "Don't tell me you're jealous?"I scoffed. "I have nothing to be jealous of""Then you should have no dilemma with Dean showing up this weekend, I was intending on taking him out for dinner"Oh, he was exercising me, trying to wake up a sleeping dog and he did. "WHAT!?" I exploded."Is it not en

"You've got to be kidding me!" I shrieked.If I ever slated on giving Dean a chance before, forget I ever asserted anything because that wasn't happening anymore."Hey!" I called out as I matched over to them, I didn't care for the bizarre glimpses I amassed around the diminutive coffee shop. I walked over to their table, a bit close to the wall.Dean lolled his head in my direction and he put on an ample grin. "Seems like three of us keeps running into each other, such simultaneousness, eh" he placed his elbow on the table and rested his knuckles against his jaw. My gaze voyaged over to Sean who had his leg crossed over the other, he gleamed at me.He freaking smiled!The temerity!"What are you two doing here?" I tried to keep up my best smile before I officially lose it. I had forgotten the fact that I entered the coffee shop with my group of friends

JARVIS'S POINT OF VIEW.I stretched my arms backward as the morning sun pierced through the window of my room, my eyes shut and a placid smile displayed on my lips. I shifted my body, trying to turn on my side but I perceived something hefty on my tiny waist. Insensibly I beamed wider, repositioning my body closer to whatever lying abaft me, yearning more of what it had to offer, warmth, security, and sensation, I yearned extra of it.Sluggishly, my eyes fluttered open, the first thing coming into view was the pale white ceiling of my room. Pokily, my sleepy gaze shifted down to my body to discover an arm engirdled around my front. Slowly, I turned on my side, coming face to face with the catnapping features of my treasure.The only one with the authority to make him say yes when I had already said a big no to others. I chuckled inwardly, feeling jelly inside having my lover this near after so

TRISTAN'S POINT OF VIEW "Have this?" I lifted my head at the voice and found a bowl stretched out to me and I accepted it with both hands and just stared at the hot soup inside. "You should drink, it's good" I nodded before bringing the bowl to my lips and gulped every content inside and handed the bowl back, wiping my lips with the shirt sleeves. "Are you okay, is there something you would need?" The thick voice inquired again and I shook my head. I didn't want anything, I wanted to say but the words forbade to abandon my lips, and then, I heard him sigh before sitting down before my line of sight and my eyes couldn't help but scan his features and realized nothing had changed over the past two years, he looked young yet matured. I averted my gaze, not wanting to stare any longer, and just fondle with my hands. "Are

"Are you hungry?"I lifted my head at the voice, found the crazy woman holding up a sandwich to my face but I averted my gaze, who knew if it was poisoned."You don't want it, suit yourself then" she shrugged and took a large bite from it before going back to her seat on the branches.My head went up as the sun burnt down on my skin. How long had it been since I was tied up, yeah,...two days. I have been held up against the trees for two days with this woman as my watch guard. With a weary sigh, my head lowered."How long am I going to stay like this, it's better if you just kill me instead," my voice came out hazardous, weak."Not yet, dear"Slowly, my head went up as I heard crunching sound of branches and footsteps and I watched as Mrs. Benita sauntered towards us with a little smile on her face, her eyes were not the brown I kn

Snap snap, snap!The sound of snapping of fingers pulled me out from my unconscious mind as my eyes opened but it was a blur in front of me. I shook my head, trying to get rid of the cloudiness but cold liquid was smashed on my face, and instantly, I jerked and shivered violently as the chilling water graced my eyes and my vision was more filled with water till a cloth was wiped over my face and my sight cleared and found a woman in front of me and my eyes widened while her pale lips smirked, her blue orbs glimmering."Hello, Jarvis's Friend" she waved cheerfully at me, and horror finally struck me to the core."How come you're here?" The words left my mouth baffled, stunned but the strong breeze that brushed my skin had me quivering again, especially from the cold water that soaked my body and that was when I saw the timbers ahead of me, the dry, green leaves of the forest and behind me was a

TRISTAN'S POINT OF VIEWI released the unpleasant tie around my neck as I sauntered into the mansion. One by one, I popped the buttons on my coat and slipped them off my shoulders, and hung them over my shoulder as I headed straight for the kitchen but met my stepmom and little nuts chopping some vegetables on the counter.My stepmom smiled as soon as her eyes landed on me and I nearly flinched at how ample her smile was, it was approximately eerie and boycotted a nerve in my system. She needed to stop smiling like that "I wasn't expecting you so early today"I walked over to the fridge and helped myself with a glass of water before answering... "I finished work early""Oh, you will have to wait a few more minutes then, dinner is not ready" she announced and I nodded."Where's dad?""In his room, you should go get him"

Tristan's Point of View«TWO YEARS LATER»“Tristan, are you going to keep ignoring me, is that it?”I finally glanced up from the files spread on the table before me, stared up at the taxing voice, and found one of my dilemmas over the past two years of my life. Miss Jessica Stones, my so-called fiancée. I scoffed at the thought.“What’s that sound for?!” She mandated and I stared at her blankly, placing my elbows on the glass table in my office which was located on the highest part of the blinding, I interlocked my hands and rested my chin on the back of my palms.“May I know the reason why you’re here, Miss Stones,” I polled.“When are you going to drop the formalities, we are getting married”

JARVIS POINT OF VIEW«ONE WEEK LATER»Seven days had passed with no sign of Levi. The police had stopped the search since there weren't any outcomes, they declared him deceased, finding nothing but his piece of clothing in the ocean.It had been two days since I discharged myself, ignoring the doctor's warning, I couldn't sit around knowing my Levi was gone, I didn't believe it, not when my heart said otherwise and here we were again, in the little village beside the ocean, where Levi's clothing was found, going around, asking whoever we saw if they had seen the man on the picture and so far, no one identified him but I didn't give up, even though I walked around with a limp. I believed Levi was still alive and I was going to find him. I didn't wish to sit around in that hospital bed and cry any further."Can we take a break?"I reele

JARVIS POINT OF VIEWI curled up my knees to my chest, disregarding the pungent pain from my thigh, rolled in a white bandage, fresh blood already drenching it, it had been only two hours since the nurse changed and it was already ruddy.Maybe because I was fretting and emphasizing it too much, dismissing the continuous warning of the doctor to keep the leg stretched, even with the red flag of disability over my head, I couldn't stop myself from toiling, fussing, fearing. I wrapped my arms around my legs, hugging them close to my chest.I could feel fear squirming through my veins, anxiety, I twitched internally. I could feel my eyes trying to flutter shut every chance they get but I struggled to keep them open, soldered to the door, waiting, anticipating it to open any time soon.It had been more than twenty-four hours already, what was taking them so long to get he
