Siren's POV
On my way back to the table, I was just looking at Sam's face. Trying hard not to grit my teeth.
The dinner was almost done, yet my portion are still untouched.
"Are you okay?" Todd asked me when I sat beside him. He even pulled aside my hair to check my face.
I smiled sweetly at him. Intending to show that we are in good terms.
"I'm just not having appetite with the food."
"You want to eat something? Strawberry cake?"
I heard a faint laughter around us when they hear what Todd's say.
"Dude, your endearment was really sweet." Chad's laugh was really something.
"It's not what you think." Todd looked at him sharply. "She's kinda liking strawberries these days."
Todd's mom looked at me, grinning. "Sounds like you're in conception."
 
Siren got up the next morning with a light mood. Her morning sickness are absent today and she felt relieved about it.At nine o'clock she finished her bathe and was now having dinner with Lily and Harry.The two were quietly looking at her as she was eating her pancakes with frost and topped with strawberries."We gonna go somewhere after breakfast." She said, looking at Harry.After breakfast, they go straight down to the parking lot.Siren gave Harry the location and he followed it as soon as they get in the car.Twenty minutes of driving, Harry park the black Lamborghini in front of the Hilton Pharmaceuticals.Confused, he turned to Siren."Wait here, okay? I'll be quick." Without waiting for him to open her door, she got off. Taking her way to the entrance.&
Conrad's POVI was awaken by the loud knocking on the door. Mom's voice was calling out my name but I knew that she's not the only one out there.I lazily got off from bed and realize that I'm still wearing my clothes from yesterday. But nevermind. I opened the door."What's with you? Why are you still sleeping at this time?" She asked me when I faced her."I'm sorry. I overslept.""Overslept? Little did I not know that you came home last night being drunk!""I was just with my friends last night. We got few drinks and that's it." I was obviously making an excuse.She's right, I was really wasted when I came home last night. But I didn't got out with my friends.I drank alone.I feel like I badly needing it. I need it to forget my stress over a per
Before Harry could park the car in front of the restaurant, a black Sedan went in."I'll go first." Sylvia said. "Go home now. I'll go visit you some other time."Siren nods. She kissed her mom's cheek before getting inside their own cars.She couldn't help but to smile from satisfaction. Hitting two birds at a time was something that can make her satisfied today.Though she didn't do anything with Todd, she still feel quite fond of it. That man should really know that she's not someone that can easily be bullied. He should be thankful that she just pokes fun of him and not to his family.Especially his Dad who tried to hit her last night. How could he have the guts to dream about hitting someone? What more was that someone is a pregnant woman. Thanks to the terrible scheme of that witch Samantha Hilton. It was all because of her.
Since Jeff was a former FBI agent, he had so many connections and he knows well how to solve a case.And because he can't risk Siren's life, he looked for his former asset who knows how to do undercover, to show up as Siren."If the price is right, I'll go with pleasure." She smiled wickedly."What do you want?" He looked at her face seriously."How about a car?"Jeff thought about the Lamborghini that Siren owns. Maybe she won't mind giving it as a compensation.Knowing Diana, even if he would pay her a million, if she says she wants the car, she probably takes the car."Deal. Lamborghini Aventador.""Call!" She offers him a handshake.--------Dinner with candle light. Rose petals on the ground, and a bottle of wine on a
"But don't worry, darling. You will die happily. Look at these guys." She smirked. "They will help to make you happy."Diana, on the other hand, felt her body was shaking.Did this witch just told her that she and her baby will die?She had seen a lot of evil people during her undercover missions, but this is the first time she saw a pregnant woman being threatened to death by another woman. How she thought about evil things like that?"The cops are coming. Can you get out of there?" Jeff asked. He saw the cops coming on his track location.He took his gun on the dashboard."Really? You can do that?" By her quick move, Diana suddenly pulled Sam's hair and knocked her head on the ground.The guys around them were shocked with what she had done."How could you ever thought of ki
After three days of endless mourning, Siren finally collected herself and faced it.Lily was surprised seeing her entering the kitchen to have some breakfast."Do you want me to cook something?" She smiled at her while asking.Siren forced herself to give her even a small smile. "No. Just cereals."Lily prepared her food quickly.When she was done, she took her bathe quickly and called Jeff afterwards."I'll go to the jail." She said. She then turned off her phone.Since the winter is coming, she wore her black long coat over her black maxi dress. Her eyes were still fluffy so she wears black sunglasses."How are you feeling now?" Jeff asked her when she get in the car."I'm fine. Ready to do shits again." She said without any emotions.In h
"What's up?" James taps his buddy's shoulder as he join him on his table.Conrad lift his head, but looking at his state, James knew that his friend was already drunk.His head seems so heavy that Conrad couldn't lift it straight. His eyes were half open too."Hey... You're here." Conrad lift his glass as if asking for a toast."You're drinking again. Let's go, I'll take you home." James could only say before pulling his friend up.But Conrad just shrugged his arm. "Home? I don't want to go home yet." He said."Dude, what's up to you? I heard you're always doing this. Is there any problem?" He worriedly asked before sitting again.This afternoon, he received a call from Meryll. Asking him if there's something going on with Conrad without her knowing. In her tone, it seems like the two were
"On what grounds you want to put my son and my goddaughter in jail?" Asked Mrs. Collins. "Why? Did my son already dumped you? And now you want to get back?"Siren smirked. "Relax, Mrs. Collins. This is not all about me and your son's thing.""Murder case and illegal drug use will be filed against your children." Said Atty. Liam Gil."M-murder?" Mrs. Hilton's face could actually shows her disbelief."Murder? Hah! That is insane!" Mr. Hilton rises on his seat. Just like all of them, Mr. Hilton was trying to make himself look intimidating. He was showing the aura of someone who can brutally beat a person. Siren could say that he's a tough man."My daughter cannot do that! You're just someone who is trying to ruin my daughter's reputation!"The dramatic act of trying to attack her was carried out by Mrs. Hilton. Thanks to Diana who b
A smile was wiped from Madison's lips as she saw the familiar vehicle in the villa's garage. When her car was parked, she immediately got out to confirm her suspicion. When she entered the house, she was a little surprised that there was no Mrs. Carlson to greet her. She looks so confused as she finally entered the household. "Where have you been?"She almost jumped when suddenly a loud voice spoke. Only to find out that the man who just asked her were standing on the stairs. Seriously looking at her. "Arthur?" She almost stuttered. What is Arthur doing here? "I'm asking you. Where did you come from?" He asked as he started to walk down the stairs. She took a deep breath as she spoke. "I just wander around the corner.""Around the corner?" He repeats when he finally get down and they face each other. "Where's that around the corner?"In Madison's eyes, even though the man looked chill and composed, she knew that was not really what he had in mind. "Do I really have to tell yo
Her heart suddenly skip a single beat without her knowing why. Although still smiling, the confusion on Madison's face was obvious as she turned to the man. "Leaving?" She repeats. "Just a moment and the sun will go down, we can leave later."Conrad smiled. Smile that she could not understand. "What I mean is, I'm going back home. My vacation is over."Madison was stunned for a moment. She couldn't think of anything to say. She felt awkward because of the moment of silence so she just turned her eyes in another direction. "Good to know." She just said that. "When's your flight?""The day after tomorrow." The man answered. "Ah.""Madison?""Hmm?""Thank you.""What for?""For everything. For accompanying me. For apologies, and for the memories."Even though she wasn't looking at him she knew Conrad was looking at her now. So she suppressed the urge to turn in his direction. She doesn't want to be wrong. "You're welcome." She says. "Madison?""Yes?" She answered before finally tu
Two, three, four to the fifth day. They have toured almost all the tourist spots in Zagreb, the country's capital. They have almost no idea where to go next. Every restaurant, street foods and other pastry shops have been visited and tried by them too. "Where do you want to go now?" Conrad asked her as he drove the car. "I can't think of anything else. I think we've been to every places we can go to." She replied. "Is that all?" He asked with a frown. "Hmm.""How about we get on the yacht? Sailing at sea, then." He suggested. "Yacht?" She asked. "Are you in?" The excitement was painted on his face. "Sure. I think it's better to watch the sunset when you're on a yacht. It's a different feeling when you're in the water than on the ground when you're watching the sunset." Smiling, she said. Her eyes were focused ahead so she didn't notice the moment Conrad's gaze turned to her. The man smiled in amazement at what she said. However, he never spoke again. ---***Felix stopped wa
They thought to visit some of the famous museums and restaurants that day. Madison noticed that as long as they were together and talking, she also got to know the man in a way he didn’t intentionally show. The day passed without her being aware of it. Somehow, it also makes sense to talk to the man. He's also easy to get along with though he loves to spill some daddy jokes everytime.And true to his words, all expenses including her daily wage are the all charged to him. "Why don't you want me to take you home?" Conrad asked as he stopped the car on the side of the road. "It's also a waste of the fare if you have to ride home.""Nevermind. My house is just around the corner." She refused as she got out of the car. "Are you sure?"She rolled her eyes. "Yes.""Okay. Just be careful going home. Call me when you're home." He ordered that makes her raised an eyebrow. She grinned at him. "Do I have to tell you if I'm home or not?" She asked. The man smiled as he scratched his forehe
‘My wife is going to give birth that day. The baby she will give birth to is a pre-mature baby so she has to be taken to a bigger hospital. We were on the road when we suddenly heard a series of gunshots so in fear I stopped my pick-up truck on the curve and thinking about turning back. But I saw that Margarita was bleeding. I was afraid that something worse would happen to my wife and my son so I carefully thinking what to do first. When I was sure the gunshots were gone, I went back. A few meters away on the curve, I saw a car. Black and looks expensive. But the windshields are all destroyed. I did not catch up with the culprits, but I saw a woman lying on the ground. A few meters from the car. Fearing that we will get into trouble, I planned to leave the woman alone. But I felt sorry for her. I thought we would go to the hospital too, so I decided to go back and take her with us to the hospital. ' Peter narrate the whole thing. 'When we got to the hospital, I first took my wife
Mrs. Carlson slowly opened the door of the room. The woman sleeping in the bed reflected in the dark surroundings. Its deep breathing was listened to carefully in silence. He knew the woman was sound asleep. Probably tired of what was done wherever it went before. He has also been late for Madison's outing for a few nights. He knows it’s careful in action so he doesn’t matter but what it doesn’t know is that he sees its every move. She just waits long enough to let Arthur know everything is going on. He closed the door again and then silently went to the kitchen. He took the jar containing the sugar from the pantry and then pulled a small bottle out of his pocket. He mixed the white powder with the sugar and then shook the meat to make it thicker. He then covered it and returned it to the pantry. He also put away the small bottle and then threw it in the trash. He left the kitchen and then went to his own room to continue sleeping. ***'Let's meet this afternoon at three o'cloc
...Conrad just sighed because of what the woman said. He wanted to answer what she said but he knew to himself that he needed to lengthen the cord of his patience a little. After all, what shee said was true because he was in arrears. So even with the taste of the woman's anger, he still restrained himself. He would not allow the opportunity he had waited for so many hours to be lost because of her words. "Hey ..." He chased to block her path. "What is it that you want?" Glaring, she says. "If you don't leave me alone, I will call the cops and I will say you are harassing me." She even threatened him. "What?" He was stunned. "And why would I be harassing you? You're not my type and you're not that pretty either." He says. "Then, why are you following me? What do you need?" She placed her hands on the both side of her waist in front of him. "Let me tell you, I don't have time to fool around right now. So you better leave me alo--""I came here to apologize to you." She was cut
Madison went home still enraged by what had happened at the restaurant earlier. She was greeted by the astonished look of Mrs. Carlson but she just ignored her. She immediately went straight to her room and slammed the door shut. But instead of doing anything to release her anger, she just forced herself to calm down. In fact, she was not angry because she was fired, but because the reason was irrational. She could not have imagined that after more than a year of working there, only a man like that would destroy her credibility and reputation of her work. "I hate you!" She shouted remembering the man. In her mind, she had wanted to kill him several times. ***Conrad rolled his eyes inside the bar. He had been going back and forth there for two nights, so the bouncer and the bartender got familiar to him immediately. "Whiskey?" The bartender asked as he sat on the counter stool. "I prefer vodka tonight." He replied. In his mind, he wanted to estimate how much time he would spend
Wearing his casual clothes, a cap and his sunglasses, Jeff came out of the room he was occupying in that hotel. It was three o'clock in the afternoon so he knew the sun was not that hot outside. He had felt hungry earlier but he didn't bother to order from room service because he didn't like the food offered at the hotel restaurant. He took the elevator while wondering what food he could eat outside. When he reached the ground floor, as soon as the opening of the elevator where he was, also the opening of another elevator on the opposite side.Jeff furrowed his brows as he recognized the man exiting the elevator. Although he's not actually facing him, he knew he couldn’t be wrong, it was Conrad Younas.He got stunned for a moment as the flash of Siren's face crossed his mind. The same day when he revealed Conrad Younas’ connection to Siren’s pregnancy, was also the same day when the incident of Diana’s death and Siren’s disappearance occurred. For a moment he wanted to be suspicio
