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

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
2023Williams Dr. Williams Stone sank into his office chair, this time around he wasn't working but remembering some memories. Reminiscing about his past and the joy he had then.

2018ClaraI settled down in front of our big-screen TV in the living room, watching my favorite comedy series, 'Friends,' while munching on a delicious slice of pizza and laughing. I mean who wouldn't laugh while watching friends .I took a sip of my soda and reached for another slice of pizza."Typical Saturday," I said with a sigh, realizing that most of my Saturdays were spent like this—indoors, having a nice break time from school and everything. I needed this break, especially after the stress of the past week."Clara!" my dad yelled as he came down the stairs."Dad, I'm right here," I yelled as well, as my dad came and paused the tv."Hey, I was watching that," I said, giving him a look that made him chuckle"Sorry, dear," he said "I just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving for the weekend.""Seriously, Dad? You just got back," I protested."Yeah, I know, but I have some business to take care of," he explained."You're always saying that—you have a business to handle,
