‘DISHEARTENED?’“Damn! What is wrong with me?”Aaron curses to himself, asking the question that happens to suddenly plague his mind with the thought that he will never have the right to even think about it. Yet.“I called my husband. He will be here for a while.”He covered his face with the palm of his hand. Hiding inside the comfort room and looking flustered in front of the mirror. “F***! What the hell!”His curses and once more. Remembering Lindsey’s words and the fact that the husband will be coming to take her. “What the hell are you thinking?”He scolds himself. All the while holding his emotion and calming himself for the things and emotions that are out of the picture and too much for him to think about it all rationally. “Damn!”He slams his fist into the closed door from the frustration and irritation that he just thinks about. “Hey! Are you alright?”Aaron’s thinking and the literal world are interrupted. A bit taken aback by Lindsey’s voice and impulsively opens the
“YOUR husband is here.”Words that is heavy as hell for Aaron to say somehow. In denial, but it was all clear from the tone of his voice and the way of his expression. He held himself and tightly on to the fact that he is currently the stupid person to even think of a thing which is a sin in anyway.“Harry?”Lindsey is taken a bit by surprise, worried that Harry might saw Aaron, and disappointed in a way that she is also in denial with the fact that she couldn’t and shouldn’t accept in anyway possible.“Don’t worry, I didn’t show even my shadow to him. Just like what you wanted.”“I-I see.”Aaron’s a bit of a rhetorical assurance that was clear enough for Lindsey to feel that awkwardness and more towards the two of them.“Miss Lindsey, someone is looking for you. He said that he is your husband.”One of the café employees suddenly barge in without knowing and reading the atmosphere around. But it was the perfect distraction that the two of them needed.“Alright, thank you.”Lindsey ju
“CUNNING, but stupid.”“You think?”Aaron slams the document on his table, with Ash smirk and sinister smile after giving him the information that he wanted.“He maybe this states Governor, but to plan something outrageous and even though he will deny and say that is only for a little threat. Kidnapping the Lawrence twins and heiress is out of the line.”“A warning might not be enough.”Aaron’s threat, clenching his fist and hard. Angry and disappointed towards their little ally in the schemes that they have in and for the state. Going over board into things and plans that is not and will never be acceptable.“The guts of a man who is in power. Thinking that he can do everything that he will, just because he is in position.”“Tsk!” he smirks, calming himself and sit back down while having these civil conversations with Ash. “The organization might not care of whatever he wanted to do, as long as he complies to the contract that he signed with us. But thinking of hurting innocent child
“BUT the real point her is the current one that is wavering Aaron more than he admits about the first woman’s importance to him.”Words that Hiro is expert of pointing out to someone that is his target. His so-called scheming game that everyone loves and curses about him. But more than anything, it is his wit and schemes, the way he can provoke a person to have the third highest position inside the organization.“Just think about its Ash, once you got that girl in our side. What she knows will be gone up like dust in the air. For what’s more powerful and blinding than love. Love that can make anyone stupid and be enslave by that emotion.”“Do not underestimate that woman. She manages to get away from my men, and grasp some information right in front of me. She is not someone who you could just mess around.”Ash honest opinion towards Lindsey. More like a praise that he just didn’t express about and intentionally. Still hung up with his pride after Lindsey slip from his hand and worst
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?”The Governor, Charles demanded an answer and quick. Slamming the files on top of his desk with the photos of his infidelity and transactions that are out from the bounds of his deal from the organization that he took side with.“As you can see, it is everything of what I cam here for today. Governor.”Ash cunning smile and arrogant nature. Sitting unto the seat of the Governor and inside of his political office without any fear, nor a drop of holding himself up.“Are you threatening me, and for what?”“Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!”He clicks his tongue twice, unimpressed by the foolishness or acting like one that Charles is showing in front of him right now.“I didn’t imagine, I have no single idea that you are this good in pretending the you do not know. Francis.”“What?”Offended, but Charles couldn’t just burst out his anger in front of Ash. He is left clenching his fist and tight, gritting his teeth in angry and dismay from this charade that the organization is sl
“IN between you and the family of Lawrence, it is clear where the organization is standing when it comes to our safety and business.”Ash continues threatening Francis, with his sinister smile and taunting expression that’s screaming in front of his little prey that one bullet is all that is needed to finish everything up.“Now, everything is more than clear to you now, Francis?”“Ye-yes.”Forced to swallow his pride and left with nothing but to be the good dog of the organization. Francis cowers in obedience, worst with his name dropped like a small pebble in the roadside that any second they just can kick away for good. A rule, and the consequence if he will continue to do things his way without the organization’s approval. “Remember who you are in this circle Francis, and do not forget that it is you that is to blame for your predicament that moment that you took our hand for a deal.”“I-I do, and I promise to not do anything without your approval.”“We do not want your empty word
SUSPICIOUS and intrigued by the sudden movements and decisions that the organization is doing. Worse they are threatening them with the fact that they couldn’t just ignore, pass or disagree with them. Beatrice is thinking of the whys. A bit concerned, but itching to know the truth with the fact that she couldn’t ignore it, knowing that something is up inside the mind of Ash, or rather. “Aaron.”“Aaron? What about him?”She calls the name a bit out loud which made Francis wonder and immediately asks her about it. “Well,” she initially replies, playing with her words and her smiles that prove that she is in control of Francis. “What did Ash exactly threat you about?”“Tsk!”Francis smirks, now taking his pride first and his arrogant nature. Showing how mighty he is despite being a true coward and a dog just a while and in front of the bigger foe. “They knew about our plan, they wanted us to disregard it and warns me to not lay a single finger on Lawrence’s heirs.”“The Lawrence’s he
“DAMN!”The word and the only one that Beatrice heard before closing the door shut of Francis's office. A satisfying curse that draws her interest and painted her face with the sly smile that shows her true color. “A dog will always be a dog. Just do not forget who is the one who grooms you in the place and position that you are standing now, Francis.”She whispers in satisfaction and thrill. Just like the organization that she first encountered, took a deal and kept it all a secret from Francis. She is one hell of a viper that is sucking Francis's life slowly from him. “Now, I need to know what is truly going on in the organization.”Her restless mind and thoughts. Pondering the questions that she needed answers to and fast. With the fact that the organization is keeping something from her after she just proves her worth and loyalty to them.“Am I not still enough?”She thought to herself in a disappointed and irritated tone. Making her way out of the building and into her car. “T
