"Oh c'mon! How can you be so stupid? Leandro's body was found inside of Celestine's bathroom, not because she's the killer but because the culprit doesn't want to get suspected," Nicholas said to calm Carter down who has been hysterically pointing fingers to anyone he knows that could kill Leandro ever since the body of their friend was taken away by the mafia organization.
And the first person he suspected was Celestine.
Nicholas looked at Carter who is now devastatingly sitting on the floor while his back is leaning against the wall.
"Carter, all of us here were trained before we became associates. You think Leandro was stupid enough to let a woman kill him?"
Carter wiped his tears using his arm. "I'm sorry."
Nicholas sighed and sat beside him. "Leandro was everyone's friend. Like you, and most especially Boss, wants to take revenge for what happened to him. But you can't just point fingers at anyone, that's not your job."
In the four corners of a quiet dark room, every drop of crimson blood onto the clean white tile floor seems like a ticking clock to someone horribly tied in a chair, hands on his back while his swollen eyes were dropped on the floor, counting every drop of his blood.The thick blood streaming down to his body felt like a cold sweat out of working out too hard, but the only difference was he won't be dead from dehydration but his abductors' hands."Who do you think you are huh? You piece of shit!" The man on his black patent shoe swayed his strong right leg and kicked Vincent's stomach with great force.He coughed blood, violently.The man forcibly grabbed Vladimir's face by jaw and positioned it to see his victim's swollen eyes."You should know where you're pointing your gun into, kid," he murmured.Vladimir sarcastically chuckled despite feeling the pain in his abdomen. "If you think I'm scared of your b
Even though Vincent was not able to get out of the building completely with Vladimir on his back, who was now struggling to fight himself not to lose consciousness, Damien and Osvaldo immediately met them to get Vladimir."Boss, we'll take care of Vladimir," Damien said respectfully as he gingerly supported Vladimir's limp body so he could finally lift him away from Vincent."Make sure to keep him safe," Vincent reminded as Vladimir's heavy body was finally removed from him."Copy that, Boss."With a sigh, Vincent pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and dialed Kingston's number. While waiting for Kingston's answer, his gaze wandered to Osvaldo who was now still standing by his side as if he's waiting for his command."Osvaldo, drive them to the nearest hospital," Vincent ordered.Osvaldo nodded. "Copy that, Boss."After three consecutive rings, Kingston answered the call."Yo
The leaves of the tree dance with each gust of wind as if the strong wind is a song that causes the leaves to swing and keep up with its rhythm. The cold breeze made the boy rub his tiny hands to his arms with innocent eyes staring at the bright moon and twinkling stars. The boy sat on the edge of his bed and kept his eyes fixed outside of his room's window, entirely mesmerized by the beauty of the moon. "No, let me explain! I'm your wife, you should believe in me! Please babe, let me explain." A woman's loud plea caused the sudden flight of birds that had previously been resting on the branch of the tree. Her voice echoed throughout the silent mansion. The boy's peaceful night got ruined by it. "And you think I'd still believe in you? After everything that you've done?! No!" The man shouted frustratedly to his wife that was on her knees and begging him to believe her. "You bel
The sight of drunk Vincent peacefully sleeping on the office desk put a grin on Alice's red lips. Whiskey and wine bottles lying on the floor did not bother Alice, it only made her feel more in control of the things that she's planning to do with Vincent. "Why you even drink huh?" Alice asked as she walked towards Vincent. Vincent was never been an alcoholic person and seeing him sleeping soundly because of drunkenness made her wonder why he let himself get wasted. Alice had known Vincent since they were in kindergarten. Her and Sebastian's father works for Vincent's father, the reason why she got the chance to study in every school Vincent had enrolled into. Since then, she can't seem to get him off her head. She has this strong desire of making him hers, and this is the right chance for her to claim him completely. She bit her lower lip as she run her fingertips on Vincent's broad shoulders. She doesn't know how
"Ready my car," Vincent ordered over the phone.Whoever that anonymous caller was Vincent was confident that he was someone he might know or be acquainted with. As much as possible Vincent tries to keep Vladimir in low profile. His enemies were unknown the reason why he manage to not include Vladimir in every gathering he got invited to as he knew someone might notice that they were always together which could cause Vladimir's death. But whoever called earlier knew about Vladimir and that made Vincent ponder."Vincent baby, can you slow down? I'm wearing heels," Alice complained. Her hair was still messy while her clothes are crumbled, far from her appearance when she entered Vincent's office earlier.Instead of being embarrassed when they passed by Vincent's secretary, Alice plastered a grin on her face. She wanted to make everyone notice that she and Vincent had shared body fluids inside his office a while ago, and both of them undeniably had fun."Leav
"Oh my goodness, Celestine! Where are you? I'm so worried about you." Celestine looked at Alice who was now consistently pointing her gun to Celestine's forehead. She thinks the news about her is getting worse and has been trending to any social media platforms the possible reason why Alice is doing this to her. Even if she wants to disobey what Alice wants her to do, she can't risk her only chance to survive just because of her stubbornness knowing that her life depends on Alice. Celestine cleared her throat so that her manager would not notice or suspect that she was in a death and life situation right now. She knew how Saoirse overreact to things that involved her and will sabotage her career that's why she's sure that her manager is sick worried about her now. They treat each other as siblings and she knew that Saoirse acts like her older sister most of the time. She doesn't want to get to the point where Saoirse will suffer from a heart attack out of
Vincent clenched his jaw. "Whoever the fuck you are I will fucking kill you." Vincent heard the man chuckle at the other line which made his blood boil in anger even more. "You know what? You're funny, Mogilevich. You're considering me as your enemy even though you don't even have a single clue of who I am." Vincent wants to kill now. He wants to get lost and kill whoever he meets. What the man is telling him was true — he doesn't know who he is talking to. He had no idea who he was but Vincent had a hunch that he was one of Stevenson's men. "Fight fair. I'm your opponent, fight me. Not my men," Vincent challenged the man. "I want you to gradually feel how is it feel like to eat dirt, Mogilevich." Vincent took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "If you want to end me and make me eat dirt then don't act cowardly taking revenge anonymously." He chuckled again. "You don't fight fair either, Mogilevich. Accept the
Even before Vincent could step a bit closer to his father, a great force of his father's fist met his face. It startled his facial muscle that his cheek deformed and he felt like his jaw dislocates. The impact on his face sends a throbbing pain to him.It was unexpected which is probably also the reason why Vincent almost lost his balance.His eyes are wide open as he unconsciously touched his numb cheek. It was not only his cheek that felt numb but also his whole body that when he lifted his finger, he's unable to feel it.The hotel staff who had been watching Venedict's every move were shocked after seeing the old man's sudden action.Venedict's men were alert— they move and immediately surrounded the entire ground floor to make sure no one will go out or in of the hotel.They grabbed the cellphones of the people who started filming and pointed a gun at them. It scares the people inside of the hotel but no one dares
"V-Vincent..." All she remembered was throwing the gun somewhere and she ran towards Vincent. His eyes are wide open as well as his mouth. He's not moving. She tried to wake him by touching his chest yet after minutes of sobbing and trying to save him, nothing happened. His chest is not moving, it was as if he is asleep but his eyes is open. He's not breathing anymore. "N-No, Vincent. Wake up, c-cmon... Wake up p-please," she whispered to his ear even though she knew to herself that no matter what she do, it's already too late. She hugged his body and she sobbed in his chest, hoping that it was just a bad dream even though she still can feel the intensityof the gun when she fired it. "Celestine, let's go. C'mon, you need to leave now. Any minute from now Vincent's men will come to check on what was happening here. We need to go now." Celestine looked at the woman who suddenly speak. It was Sophia. "S-Sophia..." Sophia's eyes is roaming around the mansion checking if Vincent
"Clean the cell, leave no trace of his blood there, burn the gun, his clothes, and his apartment," Vincent authoritively said as he was washing his hands on the sink. His men immediately nodded his head after hearing what his boss had said. They were having a good time talking while eating until they heard a gunshot coming inside of the cell. Everything happened so fast that the the only thing they know was thinking that their boss had planted a bullet in Kingston's head but it wasn't what they are expecting because when they go to see the cell, it was Kingston who is holding their boss' gun. "What the fuck are you still doing here? Didn't you hear what I asked you to do?!" Vincent shouted when he noticed that the associate is still standing next to him like an idiot. Vincent's shout was enough for the associate to get back to his senses and get out of the bathroom and do what his boss asked him to do. Vincent closed his eyes firmly and threw his head back while he is clenching
"Let me go!" She had been screaming yet no one seem to hear her, they are ignoring her. She is inside of a van with five men inside, all of them are wearing masks and they are all silent. There is nothing that could be hear inside except for her screams that don't seem to bother the five men. She closed her eyes firmly and stopped trying to untie her wrists on her back for a moment. She has to remind herself that she had been in this position before, her getting kidnapped by the enemies is something that is not new for her and instead of feeling scared she should think of a way to escape from them, though it might be impossible to do that because what is the strength of a woman compared to five strong men surrounded her. "Good thing you finally get tired of screaming," the man driving the car said while he is chewing a gum. She opened her eyes. "If you think that Vincent will come to save me, you better think again. You got the wrong person. I am not Sophia, you should've taken h
"Fuck," Kingston murmured when he tried to make a movement. His body is sore from all the punches that he had received. He doesn't know how long Vincent had been keeping him inside of the cell because he couldn't see any light from the outside. All he wanted was Vincent's men discovered a new hobby and it is to beat him up every fucking minute. He spit blood on the cold tile floor then he tried his best to move his body for him to comfortably lie on the floor. As he was trying his best to move, he is holding his breath firmly. He can endure the pain but his body needs a rest. He never felt so restless his entire life until Vincent kept him inside of the cell that makes him feel like he is visually impaired. "Fuck this," he continued cursing as he was trying his best to quicken his movement so the pain he might going to feel will be all at once yet his body is not cooperating. He can feel the tiredness of his body. Every inch of his being wants to rest yet in his mind, he keep tel
Celestine stopped walking as soon as she figured out that Saoirse is no longer following her. She turned around to see what her manager was doing and she found her a bit far from where she is with a devilish smile. At first, she is hesitant to call her attention but then she remembered why somehow she wanted to have this conversation with her manager. "Hey! Everything's fine?" she asked loudly, making sure that despite the distance between them she will still be able to hear her. Saoirse who was startled by her voice immediately composed herself, remove the devilish smile on her face, and act as if she had done nothing wrong then she jogged towards Celestine's direction. "Sorry, I just had to reply to that important text message," she explained as soon as she reached Celestine's side. "Anyways, I know a place here where we can talk privately." What Saoirse just said made Celestine's eyebrow raise. She's not in her manager's side for months now unlike before that they are usually t
"Good morning, Miss," the maid greeted as soon as she opened her eyes. Last night, she wasn't able to sleep. She doesn't know if it is about the temperature or is it about the idea that Vincent and her isn't fine. But between the two, she choose to believe that it is because of the room temperature. "W-What time is it already?" she asked as she was helping herself to sit on the bed. The windows in her room is open yet the sunlight is not hurting her skin, giving her an idea that she woke up early today. She looked at the maid confusedly. Maids are not allowed to enter the room, not just her room but in any room without asking for permission that she is confused for why the maid is inside of her room the moment she open her eyes. Even though she wants to point out about the maid tresspassing inside of her room she just decided to shrug the idea off. She wanted to start her morning in a good mood since she slept with a heavy heart last night so instead of scolding the maid she just p
"H-Here's your coffee." She slightly tilted the tray that she was holding. Vincent lick his lower lip and run his fingertips to his scalp. He doesn't have an idea of how he supposed to deal with her after knowing almost everything that she had done. He couldn't believe everything that is on the papers. He couldn't believe everything that Kingston said. Everything is an act of betrayal. Everything isn't true. Celestine planned it, she tried to be in control of his life and he never did question her, it also somehow his fault yet it wouldn't justify the fact that she is the mastermind. She did what she did and he wouldn't let her fall for her stupid game anymore. She might had already plan how everything is going to end for him but he will change it. He will change the ending and it is him who will have the loudest laugh in the finish line that she had prepared for him. "I didn't ask you to bring that to me." He turned his back on her then he pulled his sleeves up. She, on the othe
Celestine hit her shoulder when she felt a mosquito pinching bite. Its blood was on her palm. It's dead. She grimaced, disgusted by the blood that is on her palm. She looked away from her it and wipe it on the hem of her t-shirt. The blood in her palm is something that doesn't freak her out anymore like she used to. Seeing blood anywhere becomes a normal scenario for her ever since she met Vincent. She glance in her palm and even though the blood wasn't there anymore, she can still see it; her hands that is covered by blood. She closed her eyes firmly to keep herself calm but instead of avoiding the idea that her mind had made up for her, she smell the blood. She can smell it. Blood that almost smells like hers, the scent that she's been trying to get out of her system. That smell, it was so familiar. A shovel suddenly entered her mind. The dried red stain in the shovel is what brings her back to the past that she's been trying to get off of her mind but couldn't. "Miss, are
"Did you already sent the letter?" The man slightly nodded his head. "Yes, Sir." "Are you sure that she will receive the letter?" "Certainly, Sir," he answered with great confidence. "Good. Go back to your work now." He rest his back on the backrest of his couch. The letter successfully sent to Celestine, he just hope that the letter reach her before Vincent get to read them. Just when he thought he can finally have his fifteen minutes break, his phone suddenly rang. He pushed himself to reach for the phone on the other side of his table. He picked it up and put the phone against his ear. "Who is this?" he asked. "How are you, Bonifacio?" said the man on the other line with a devilish smirk lingered on his lips. That voice, he knows that voice very well, he know it so well that he immediately recognized the person calling. "Venedict," he said. Venedict chuckled. "Guess you still remember me." He clenched his jaw tightly. They haven't heard anything from Venedict sinc
