“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
“NOW that I remember, shall we talk about that first, Beatrice.”Hiro’s smile that is threatening and suspicious towards her, sends the chill right down to her spine. Fear that Hiro never fails to put her back to where she should be standing. An authority over her that Beatrice doesn’t like nor even a bit about.“What? Just what do we need to talk about?”“Tsk!”Beatrice words that didn’t suggest that she is playing dumb about what he wanted to hear and to talk about to her. But rather her simple surrender, admitting in a foreshadowed way that she is wrong with the fact, already give it up and currently thinking for other things that will not go beyond the organizations rule and wishes.“Let’s cut to the chase shall we, Beatrice?”Hiro’s threat that marks way deep and down with his eyes that is making Beatrice uncomfortable and scared. Fully aware for the facts and things that Hiro can do and might do to her. Which she doesn’t want to think about nor imagine it even a little.“Then ho
“ARE you wavering in a way and two, Aaron?”“Tsk!”Aaron smirks, clenches his right hand and tight while pressing with his left finger the part in between his eyebrows. A bit exhausted and definitely disturbed by what Ash just told him.“Wavering? Am I? But for who?”Lindsey’s image then flashes inside his mind. Surprising him in return and slamming his hands-on top of the table as he jolted up.“Wooh! Chill.”“Tsk!”He smirks in irritation, didn’t want some company after just talking and meeting with Ash. Yet.“Yo! Aaron.”“Hiro?”Hiro’s wide grin and happy go lucky attitude or just what he wanted to show everyone, faces him. With the door of his office closed and lock, he calms his nerves, sit back down put his hands on the arm of his chair and faces his visitor which is no an ordinary one.“What now? Why such serious, but a bit of a distress face that you are having right now?”Hiro grins, giggling for a second and didn’t wait to be invited to sit, nor he needed anyone’s approval f
“ADOPTION?”Lindsey is taken by surprise by what just Harry told her. Gasping and suddenly teary eyes from the initiative that Harry took first which she is all along been waiting for. “Are you being serious right now?”“Would I be asking you if I am not?”Harry smiles willing to do such a thing for his wife, but honestly not that enthusiastic in the very beginning. “Besides, I have been thinking for days and realized that there is nothing wrong if we will adopt a child, right?”Lindsey nods in excitement and was all too surprised that she couldn’t say a word and come up with one at that moment. Overwhelmed with gladness and excitement for what she just receives to be the greatest gift of all. “If I would have known that you will be this happy to the point of being speechless and crying. I would have done this way back.”Harry giggles, smiling widely. Glad and more to see Lindsey’s expression and excitement. Even though deep inside he knew that he just blurted out those words and d
“MOMMY!” The twins, Monique and Cole opens the door and runs up to her with excitement and twinkling adoration to their eyes upon seeing her. “Wow, you look like a princess, Mommy.” “You do, you do!” Monique’s comment with wide smile and agreed by Cole. Admiring her beauty as she is dress in a sophisticated white dress. Her wedding gown and the day that she will finally tie the knot with Sam. After all the problems that are resolve, the secrets that are said, apologize, forgiven and done. With the twin’s biological mother gracefully out of the picture by her death. Everyone is there in that very special day to witness and congratulate them. “Thank you.” Cath smiles and giving the twins one kiss each on their cheeks. Making the twins giggle more in excitement. Just then, the wedding coordinator knock on the door and asks her. “Miss Catherine, shall we?” “Of course.” She couldn’t contain her happiness and smiling all the way through. With the wedding theme of like mystical fore
“HOW long has it been since then, Leo?”The expected meeting, but the unexpected expression and tone that is in a mix of disappointment and anger that Cath is showing right in front of him. Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend. The words that means more than the shallow meaning of it. Words that will disappoint anyone, for it means more than just a rejection, but a total abandonment towards someone who only thinks about one person and dea
MORE than being stripped of everything that he had, Harry is slapped with the truth and faces the wrath of Adriella in her calm demeanor whom everyone knows that it is worse than a tyrant in that kind of mood. “You do not need to explain anything to me but sign the divorce papers, right now.”“I-I…”Definitely shaking within his wits, Harry couldn’t even utter a single word nor look at the face of his mother-in-law worst towards Lindsey whose expression is indistinguishable for lacking nothing to see. Worst with the atmosphere in the room that is getting heavy and dreadful upon their conversation that a while back is going smoothly and just like always. Only to be struck by the divorce papers and the secret that Harry is been hiding for almost a month now. “I stayed quiet and compose for the sake of Lindsey. But since it all comes to this and the fact that you are caught red-handed. There is no need for further discussion.”“But I… I only did it once, or maybe twice or thrice, but t
“WILL this be alright?”Lindsey’s worry and her thoughts about what Sam decided upon after what happened. Hiding the fact that they were kidnaped. Letting Jun handle the rest with the pieces of evidence at hand and the new ones that were suddenly sent to them just a while back. With all of them know that it was from Beatrice, leaving Francis in the air and saving herself. “This is better and the appropriate thing that we should all do.”Cath seconded, forcing everyone to have this talk and all from Sam’s protest. With her injuries and critical state in the first few hours after they are saved. Luckily Cole wasn’t hurt in any way nor the child is traumatized. But make sure, Sam sends his son to the psychiatrist, and is currently under the care of Adriella. Lindsey recovers fast, and can now move on her own, unlike Cath. “Let’s just leave it to Jun and Nadia. They both know what to do.”She added, hiding the fact that she doesn’t want Sam to know about the organization that Francis on
DAMN alive and still breathing despite his injuries and the gunshot that he just receives from Aaron a while back. Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life. You who put me behind bars, Catherine Wayne.”“Cath!”Two familiar voices echo in the air, but before Cath could look and see for herself who could those two people be? Francis fired his gun, missing Cath’s vital spot from his shaking hand due to his injuries. Yet still, inflict Cath with another injury and a gunshot to her left arm. Stumbling backward made her lose her footing and leads her to fall to the cliff.“Damn! Just die!”Two gunshot echoes, now directly to Francis's legs leaving him impaired and down helpless. “You cannot save her, she is gone! You failed to save your girl, Samuel Lawrence!”Consumed with anger, Sam clenches his hands tight, yet he didn’t blow up on Franci
STARTLED and quickly stops in her tracks, now standing and still. Lindsey instructed Cole to close his eyes and cover his ears. Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest. Being an obedient child, Lindsey could feel the fear of her nephew with Cole’s shaking body and cold hands. “Stop, or find yourself swimming in your blood.”More than a familiar voice and the only person right now that Lindsey could think of who. She slowly looks back and is not surprised to see the Governor, no, Francis, pointing a gun right in front of her and with a cursing look on his face. “Just how low could you go for doing this to our family? Are you desperate to establish your dominance over us that you are going this far for your selfish desire?”“Low? Who, me? Tsk! Do not make me laugh Miss. Lindsey Lawrence.”Their exchange made it clear and more than to Linds
TRAIL OF BLOOD is visible from near. Cath’s breath is heavy and her sweat is dripping from her forehead. She’s easing the pain from the gunshot wound that she got to her left arm and right leg. Dragging her heavy body and following the path that she instructed Lindsey at first if anything might happen and they needed to separate. “Tsk!”She clicks her tongue in anger and irritation. Tired and has been losing a lot of blood after she fought and struggled against Ivy. Now holding the gun that almost took her just a while back. “CATHERINE WAYNE!”The name, her name that Ivy screams in anger at the last second when she pulled the trigger and put a hole in its forehead. Ending a nightmare that she took within her hand and fails to put her back behind bars. “Almost. Just how many it is right now?”Suddenly reminisced and the similar danger that she took and choose for her career and passion. She chuckles and a bit rested behind a large tree. Ripping her bolero and tying it around her leg
GUN shots can be heard from a distance and back. The exchange and the loud crash with the blow of a bomb shake the ground for a few seconds. Holding on to a tree while tightly holding Lindsey’s hand with her right one, Cath held her ground looks back when Lindsey screams in surprise at what just happened. Starling Cole awake, that worried Cath even more than she is under a lot of stress right now. “Lindsey, are you alright?” “I am. I am just startled.” “Mom? Mommy?” “Cole.” They both immediately coax the child back to sleep. Lindsey covered Cole’s ears while hugging the little boy tight into her arms. “Mommy, aunt Lindsey, what is happening?” “Don’t worry Cole, that was just nothing, just go back to sleep.” Relieved that the little boy is still sleepy and that it didn’t give them the hard time to coaxing it back to sleep. Cath looks around and a few steps away from where she instructed Lindsey to stay covered and safe with Cole. “Tsk!” She couldn’t help but click her tongue
“THIS is what you need to do.”Instructions that Beatrice needs to follow. Things that she is hesitant at first to do since it might drag her name along with the danger that she just run away successfully from Francis. But with Hiro’s assurance and the things that Hiro just told her. The plan and the fact that the organization has Cath, Lindsey, and Cole, the truth that the organization is the other party that is rubbing Francis's patience, and the little deal that Hiro on behalf of the organization strikes a deal with Cath. Is more than a heavy reason for her to believe. No, she had no choice but to believe. For in between the organization and Francis, added with the fact that Cath strikes a mutual deal with the organization. One thing is only left for her to choose from, and that is to follow the plan Hiro just told her about, and put everything of the blame on Francis.“I got it. I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
