At this point, everyone’s attention was drawn back to Avita, whose cheek was red and swollen. She didn’t seem to have gotten just one smack, but several. Everyone felt sorry for her when they saw her.Lucilla didn’t want to let go after seeing her friend’s puffy cheek and red eyes, as well as how strong she was fighting to keep back the tears.However, she knew when to stop thinking about the people who had surrounded them and were watching the display.So, she reluctantly let the lady leave and returned to her buddy without saying anything.“Let’s leave this place!” she exclaimed.Avita only bowed her head, and tears streamed down her face.“Da, da, da.”“Pi li pa da, pi li pa da,” heavy footsteps approached unexpectedly, signaling the arrival of several individuals.As the observers were taken aback by whatever had just arrived and approached the hectic scene, gasps could be heard.Even those who were filming the disaster put their phones away; after all, they weren’t so stupid to b
“........... Let us love one another, ye ye ye, what are you saying....ye ye ye...”Avita, who was finally in a good mood, was busy preparing dinner for herself while humming a remix of various songs as one.‘You haven’t even checked in on me at this point. You absolutely have no heart. Because you want to play this game, dear, I will make you regret it, trust me!’ she swore inwardly as she reflected on Miguel’s failure to look for her, call her, or visit her.She had left the house earlier, wanting to do something that would catch his attention and entice him to return, but who knew she would run into one of his other mistresses and be caught off guard?If you’re wondering why she suddenly changed when she was a good girl who seemed upright and just got out of the way owing to Miguel, all she has to say is that she got tired of pretending.She had nearly lost her actual personality after living with Patrick for too long, and she was honestly going insane with everything. And now that
Avita was exhausted after finishing everything, and it was time for her to sleep.While she was getting ready for bed, she had no idea that someone was restless and couldn’t stop gazing at the phone, hoping for a phone call.“........if you need someone who can love you while he’s gone, baby, you’ve got my number............”The ringing tone woke her up, and she cursed as she reached for the phone.She reached for her phone, yawning and opening her eyes drowsily, and gazed at the screen with groggy eyes.‘Umphh, do you take me for an easy person?’ she scoffed as she put back the phone.She was no longer in the mood to sleep because she was already awake and the phone was ringing nonstop.She cursed again when she checked the time because she despised the egoistic caller who had called her.Avita dragged her feet towards the bathroom after getting out of bed, putting on a robe, and slipping on some morning shoes.Before brushing her teeth and cleaning her face, Avita emptied her bladd
TWO HOURS LATERShe was conflicted as she looked at the familiar villa she hadn’t seen in ages.‘I wonder whether he did it all for his lovers as well!’She remembered her first visit to this location, and she was rather taken aback. It wasn’t the price of the villa or the wealth that filled it, but Miguel’s boldness to hang her portrait on the wall.Seeing her face in this setting astounded her so much that if she had been naive, she would have fallen for the man and adored him as a god. Fortunately, she was aware of this.He was out to get her from the start, and she was there in the open to be led to the trap.And if she hadn’t been a part of such a great organization, she would have given her everything to him and imagined she was the only one.But, unfortunately for him, she was a hunter rather than a prey.She had missions as a member of the Order, and unlike lower members like Nomsa and Helen, she was more of an executor who got her hands dirty when necessary.And her major goa
“So, is this my fault?” he questioned flatly.“It’s not your fault at all,” Avita growled as she glanced at the man, shaking her head. “How is this possible? After all, you’ve never met her.”Miguel looked at Avita, who he couldn’t read at the moment, and wondered what was wrong with her.“Take the mask off!” he said, ignoring her harsh remarks.Avita decided to take a breather; after all, if she kept pushing the buttons as she was, she would wind up hurting herself.Fortunately for her, Avita was wearing a mask when Naomi came, so the others couldn’t see that her face was beautiful and that there were no visible symptoms of bruising or swelling.And given that Miguel was certainly aware of the confrontation that occurred the day before, she realized that if she went to him with a story like that, he would get suspicious, which was something she didn’t want to have on her hands now before collecting the information that she wanted.So, as she was about to leave with Naomi, her express
Avita’s peculiar fragrance managed to calm the man down, and Miguel soon promised her the world.Something she scoffed at inwardly while still trying to appear as timid as possible.He finally found peace of mind when he saw her being hesitant and coy with him again.Naomi came to pick her up in the morning, and after a long drive and conversation, she was hungry again.So, for the first time in weeks, Avita and Miguel shared a meal while gazing at each other fondly, as if they were an old married couple.Avita snuggled into Miguel’s arms after dinner, enjoying the warmth that the man provides.He was a scumbag, yet he was still incredibly useful to her.And because he has the advantage of being a man she likes; she chose to only accept him for the time being till the task was completed.“Is everything going well?” he inquired, patting her back.Without raising her head, she replied softly, “umm, so far everything is great.”“All well, then. I heard you and the kids are going on a tri
Nyarai was inside the house, admiring the masked lady who was preparing coffee in the kitchen.Although they hadn’t spoken much, she could tell that her prospective boss was easy to get along with and that she didn’t need to worry about getting on her bad side.To be honest, she didn’t understand why Madam G was so concerned with Avita. After seeing her, she didn’t appear to be much and didn’t appear to be related to the organization.Nyarai was a low-level Order member. She’d been a member of the organization for about three years and was a bronze-level member without the brooch. Something she was putting effort into.She also realized that she shouldn’t underestimate the organization because she could marry a member without even knowing it. The secrecy in the organization was simply too great, and it was unusual for them to know the other members who they even stood next to on occasion.Apart from a few individuals known to other members, such as Madam G, the others were difficult t
“Clank.”“Clank.”“Cheers!” exclaimed enthusiastic voices, glasses clinking against each other.“Gulp, gulp,” and the glasses were refilled moments later.She rubbed her somewhat inflated tummy and scowled at her companions. And her expression was so adorable that the girl sitting next to her couldn’t help but teasingly pinch her nose.“You... stop doing that!” the obese girl admonished her buddy, glaring at her.“Hahaha, looking like this and you want me to stop?” a friend sarcastically joked, resting her hand alongside her.The obese girl poked her friend with her tongue before ignoring her.The other buddies grinned as they observed their relationship.“Have a nice day, gentlemen. Let’s have a good time,” one of the guys said.“It is a beautiful day. Who would have guessed that our dear friend here would be elevated to such a high position?” another remarked.“Those who work hard are rewarded. Do you not realize that?”“Hehe, stop acting smug.”As they just celebrated, the group of
