They waited outside of the hotel building for hours, waiting for other associates to find Vincent under the morning sun, feet starting to get hurt, bullet sweats on their foreheads, only to find out that Vincent is already with Kingston and was now in the resthouse.
"He left without telling anyone where he's going," Nicholas replied while busy playing mobile games on his cellphone.
Nicholas has no place to stay because he doesn't have a family anymore so he just decided to go to Alice's hospital room so he could at least sleep peacefully before going to the resthouse early in the morning tomorrow. The other associates booked a motel room while some went to their homes to stay for the night.
"How about Basty? Where is he?"
Nicholas shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know. Do I look like someone who knows the whereabouts of missing people?"
Alice rolled her eyes. "You l

Kingston could hardly count how many cans of beer Celestine had drunk and was still drinking. When they started drinking the sun was still up and every touch of it to their skin leaves a pinching soreness but now, the sky had gradually started to get dark, the sun hides with the departure of the clouds surrounding it but until now Celestine was still hadn't finished drinking.Celestine's face was now like a ripe tomato in red, her eyes can't keep still, it wanders everywhere like the eyes of a child just starting to know things about her surrounding, her gait is limp and sometimes she even stumbles on the sand but instead of moaning in pain, the woman was even laughing.Kingston just stared at Celestine. The woman was lying on the sand with a smile playing on her lips, her hair was disheveled with sand that looked like stars twinkling and made the strand of her hair their habitat."Oh c'mon Celestine, get up," Kingston said as he gently kicked Celest

"Uhm, soft," Celestine mumbled with her eyes shut as soon as her back laid onto the soft mattress of the bed. She switches positions from one place to another, unable to find a perfect spot on the bed for her body to comfortably rest in. Vincent did not move, nor speak. He just watches her as frustration flashed through her reddish face.She moaned and once again, changes her position. It messed up the bedsheets, some pillows even fell to the floor but despite that, he remained still, looking at her face."I don't know what you're doing to me, woman," he whispered as he stepped closer to the bed, removed his slippers, sat on the bed fastidiously—trying his best not to disturb Celestine.For a moment he stopped breathing as he finally laid to her side.

We suggest that you just visit again tomorrow," The lady guard said with a warm smile on her lips.Vladimir wandered his eyes to his surroundings. It was already dark.

Vincent stirred his coffee as he was standing on the balcony. The trees and flowers become livelier with sunlight slanted on their stems and petals. He approached the rails and rested his elbow on them as he sipped on his coffee. He checked his wristwatch to see the time. It was only six o'clock in the morning but Vincent reckon that he woke up late. Waking up early means waking up around four AM for Vincent and now that he wakes up around six o'clock he felt that he's wasting time standing on the balcony and admiring his surroundings."Sir, here's your breakfast," a woman in her black mini shirt and white long sleeves folded up to her elbow said.He turned his gaze to the table where she put his breakfast.

Silence engulfed the whole dining area that even the slightest noise the cutleries were making as an interaction between them happened becomes distinct that it echoed throughout the hallway. No one dares to speak. Their eyes were glued on their plates, petrified that by chance their eyes will meet."Sir, I received a call from the bodyguard and he said that Sir Kingston is waiting for you outside," the maid said, breaking the silence between Celestine and Vincent.She slowly sliced the ham on her plate. Her eyes swiftly glance in Vincent's direction. He wiped the corners of his mouth using the table napkin."Tell the guard to let him in. I'll wait for Kingston inside of my room," Vincent said before he abruptly stood up from his seat.The curtains were swaying back and forth, some of her hair strands were blocking her sight from looking outside the window. It was a peaceful mo

A woman in casual clothes rushed to the dining area. She hugged the old lady who was hysterically shouting and keeps on saying that Sophia is not dead."I'm sorry ma'am, I'm sorry," the woman apologizes as she was bowing her head, tremendously sorry for what the old lady did."I-It's okay." Celestine stood up and hugged herself. She rubbed her arms as she look at the old lady who was being escorted outside the dining area.She inhaled and exhaled, trying to catch her breath. The old lady creeped her out. She blew air and swallowed hard."Ma'am?" The maid called her.Celestine turned around to face the maid. "Yes?""Sir Vincent ask me to accompany you inside of your room now.""Okay..." she said, following the maid. She had no choice but to follow her.

They shake hands and eventually parted ways after minutes of casually talking."Woah, that's nice," Kingston who just arrived get the glass of wine on the table and drank it.Vincent checked his wristwatch. The meeting took three hours of his time.

The silence that engulfed them only made the sound of the waves as they hit the seashore distinct. Vincent did not answer her questions. He stood straight next to her, arm around her waist, squeezing her hips from time to time. Celestine's head seems like it has a mind of its own and without her consent, it moved and rested on Vincent's shoulder. He stilled, astonished by her sudden move but he did not complain nor say a thing. He let the heaviness of her head lay to his shoulder. "You saved me again. Why?" she murmured. Not a doubt, she's grateful that he saved her but it was confusing knowing that he shouldn't act that way. "I have to go now," he whispered against her hair. She closed her eyes as the warmth of his breath run through her scalp. Goosebumps developed on her nape down to her arms. "Okay." She slowly moved her head away from his shoulder and crossed her a

"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.

"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
