2018Williams I entered Raíz alongside Green Eyes, I noticed her hesitation probably because she wasn't expecting the fancy environment . I couldn't help but smile, as her expression of shock was endearing."It's okay, you're perfect," I assured her, and I meant it. Her purple dress beautifully brought out the color of her eyes, while her skin seemed to glow under the ambient lighting. Even the shy smile she offered in response to my compliment was captivating.I placed my hand on the small of her back as we made our way into the dining area. Upon approaching the host, he promptly inquired about my reservation. While a reservation wasn't necessary for me, I handed him my card, which revealed my status as a Stone. My father's influence in the region, primarily due to our business, has its perks."Right this way, sir," he said, leading us to a private corner table, away from prying eyes.I pulled out a chair for her, pushing her in as she gracefully took a seat. "Oh, why, thank you,"
Chapter 13: The Spy2023The Maria medical hospital was at its busiest.Its recent surge in fame has attracted patients from far and wide. The influx of patients filled the rooms, breathing new life into the hospital's corridors and generating funds for the advancement of their research.In just twenty minutes, an elderly woman was scheduled to undergo a complex surgical procedure. Her diagnosis had revealed an aggressive cancer, leaving her family distraught and desperate for a miracle."We've tried countless hospitals, but none have been able to help her," the woman's son explained, his voice tinged with despair. "Please, Doctor, you're our only hope. Please save my mother," he pleaded, his eyes locked on Dr. Robins."Please save Granny," the man's young daughter chimed in, her tiny voice trembling as she clutched a worn teddy bear to her chest."I'll do my best," Dr. Robins promised. He saw himself in the young man. A son that was just hoping for a miracle that'll keep his moth
2018Williams My father and I sat in the backseat as an associate mafia member drove us to our destination: the current location of Fabian. He was smart enough to change his residence, knowing we would come for him, but it wasn't hard to track him down again, especially since we have eyes and ears everywhere. We are the Scorpiono Mafia, and our reputation precedes us—the ease with which we silence those who cross us, and our strict code of leaving no stone unturned. Fabian should have known better before crossing us."Are you ready?" my father asked, looking at me with the same expression he had when I was younger and too scared to protect my family's name.Now, I know what's right."You trained me to always be ready. Why would I go against that?" I replied confidently."Good, because we're here," he said as the car slowed to a stop.We parked a short distance away from the location so as not to raise any alarms. My father tucked his gun into his pocket, while I concealed two guns
2018Clara This morning was a typical school morning, coffee at café Alma before I head to school and today I feel like I really needed it.There have been a lot on my mind; my project and other things so I just really wanted to clear my head with my favorite caffe mocha.“Here you go” Fred Said, with his ever bright smile presenting my coffee“Make that two cups of coffee” Chloe said, as she entered happily and came to sit across me“Oh hi Chloe” Fred greeted“Hi, you look good this morning Fred” Chloe commented“Thanks” he said beaming, as he left to bring another cup“Hey, girl," Chloe said with that familiar look she gets when she wants something. I just laughed in response."Hi, Chloe." I greeted."So, I'm going to be needing you to spill the tea, and I mean detailed this time," she insisted."Really, Chlo? I've told you everything that happened that night a gazillion times," I exclaimed, rolling my eyes playfully."Yeah, you're right," she said, laughing,"But I just can't ge
2018Williams It was the first time in a long while that I had attended one of these meetings.I could see how hard my dad was trying to involve me more in his mafia group, but I doubted it would work out. With a busy life, research to conduct, and a social life that had become more captivating, here I was, listening to how their fight went . It definitely wouldn't work out."You should have seen how we dealt with them. I'm sure they'll never mess with us again," Antonio boasted."I can assure you those guys will never come near our warehouse again," Marco chimed in, prompting laughter from the group."You can never be too sure," John cautioned calmly, as if recalling something from his past. "The Double Axe Mob always finds a way to come back, no matter how much we deal with them.""No, this time, it's for real," Antonio insisted, chuckling. "Those guys will be spending their years in the hospital."The laughter rose in a chorus, but my dad spoke up in agreement with John. "They've
2018CLARA Andrew approached me with a cheerful demeanor, a wide smile spread across his face. "Hi, Angela," he greeted me. "It's been a while. It's kind of like you left school," he joked with a laugh."I mean, I haven't really been seeing you around," he continued, attempting to regain his seriousness."Oh, I've been around, just been really busy with other things," I replied with a casual shrug."Oh, I see," he said, seemingly oblivious to the fact that I had just seen him walking out of the closet. I decided not to pry, as it wasn't in my nature to invade others' privacy."So, you were heading..." he began, gesturing towards the bathroom."Oh, no, the toilet, but it's locked," I explained, "and I suddenly don't feel like using it anymore.""Okay, so... class then?" he suggested."Yeah, sure, I guess," I said as we began walking to our physiology class.Upon arrival, we noticed that Mr. Evans, our physiology lecturer, hadn't yet arrived. Andrew and I took the two available seat
2018Williams“Let go of her” I commanded. The sight of someone else's hand on her just somehow pisses me off“What?” the strange guy asked. The sound of his voice just tend the get my blood boiling“I'm sure I didn't stutter” I said, making him move back and finally get his hands of what's mine“Oh, I'm sorry, I.. I didn't…. know that..” he trailed off looking at her for some kind of denial or something but he got nothing. She was quiet. Good girl “Well now you do” I said as he finally left. I took her hand and pulled her to follow me“Robins” she called trying to pull out her hands. I tightened my grip, not allowing her to break free. We needed to talk, and we needed to do that now.I pulled her to an empty class and closed the door so she could freely explain because I needed a lot of explanation. “Talk” I said standing in front of her and looking directly at her“Say what? You aggressively chased my friend, pulled me here and now you want me to talk?” She asked seeming a bit up
2018 WilliamsToday was a day I had been anticipating for a while. The day I would show everyone how close I am to defeating cancer. I stepped out of my closet, fully dressed and ready for school. I stood in front of the mirror and made sure I looked my best.I went downstairs to the dining table. My food had already been set by the maids: bacon and eggs, a typical breakfast. My Dad was already seated, enjoying his meal. "Hi, Dad," I greeted him."Good morning, William. You look good today. What's the occasion?" he asked."Nothing much, just presenting my project today," I replied."Oh, that's good.” He sa“Though William, there's something I forgot to tell you yesterday," my Dad said, his tone becoming more serious."Yeah? Okay?" I responded, digging into my food."You remember Tanya?" he asked.I vaguely recalled the woman. "You mean Fabian's police girlfriend?""Exactly.”“Turns out she made it out alive and is still trying to tail us," he explained."What for?" I questione
