"Shit! Wilson is really handsome!" Neri giggled beside me.
The students shouted louder at the bleachers as the game on the court got hotter. Our university's opponent is LIU. Their basketball players, led by Harris Formentera, one of the loudest names shouted inside the gym, are also great. With us was Wilson Quintana, the team’s captain ball. Also included were Shawn, Peter and Leo who also contributed big points.
"Go Harris! Go Lavanians! Go LIU!"
“The LIU captain is also handsome,” I said.
"Wilson is more handsome, no! What are you? We have to support our team!"
I scolded Neri. "Sus! You mean, you type Wilson!"
"What now if yes? He's really hot, you know! And besides, dean's lister! He's the ideal man, Elena. He's only been graduating for one year. And that's definitely suma cum laude."
I shrugged and resumed watching.
"Go Wilson!" Neri joined in the cheering.

On Friday, I had just come out of the culinary laboratory after the food presentation when I received a text message from Rage. I paused to read the message.Rage:I'm at the parking lot. Are you done?I was about to type a reply when someone approached me. It was Zoren, flashing his boyish smile. I put down the cellphone first."Hi, Elena. Are you going home?""Uh, yup.""Let's have a snack at a nearby café first. If it's okay with you ..."If it is a normal day I will accept his invitation. But it's not. Morris was waiting for me"I'm sorry, Zoren. I have a walk, eh. Maybe next time. But not now."He smiled sparingly. "It's OK.""Alright. I'll be the first," I said before he turned away. After a few steps away, I lifted up my phone and typed a short reply to Rage:Me:I'm coming.Rage:You're coming? I haven’t done anything yet, ah.My forehead furrowed and didn&rs

I sneezed and formalized the walk. The attention of reporters immediately went to us as we entered the banquet hall of the hotel where the celebration would take place. I am holding Revo’s arm while our mother was beside me. Mama answered a few questions before we glided to the hall.We are not with papa. He needed to attend an important event. So just the three of us went. They are close to the Vasquez family. I don't have problem with Aunt and Uncle I just don't like their child. Beatrice is a bitch beneath her mask."Happy birthday, Florencio," Mama greeted Uncle. I spotted Beatrice. He immediately approached us and clung to his older brother like a leech. Times like this, she can't hide her aggressiveness.How pitiful."It's good that you were able to attend. Philip?""He has an important appointment. That's why we were the only ones who went. I hope you don't mind."The old man chuckled. "I really don't mind, Helena. I know your h

For days, I practiced cooking. Rage came to watch me more often. I didn't have time to go out with Neri. After school, I went straight home. I admit, those days were exhausting. Especially since there are also school works that need to be done. But at the end, it was all worth it when the result was announced.Congratulations on coming out of the culinary lab. Neri cried and hugged me tightly."Congrats, Elena! I told you so and you will be the one to choose!"I laughed. "It's just luck, Neri."He let go. "Luck? No! You're really naturally good! It's not about luck, it's about talent!"We walked down the hallway of the building. We meet greetings that I just reciprocate with a smile. I was just so overwhelmed. I don’t think I would be a freshman to choose from. I was even so nervous the whole time I'm presenting my third dish!"This deserves a celebration!" she chirped."Yup. Go to the mansion. Let's celebrate there. What?"

Gradually, my breathing calmed down. But I didn't open my eyes. Now that the heat has subsided, I remember what we did. I can feel how my face burned when I remembered how I pleaded for him to do it.I feel, I am no different from the women he became. I was too desperate just for his touch. And I gave up myself just because of thatHow foolish you are, Elena.I closed my eyes even more because of the thought.Moments later, I felt him shifted a bit. He caressed my waist and kissed my shoulder. Fortunately, I turned my back on him. He won't see how red surely my face was."I'll just cook for us. Rest first," he said.Eventually, I felt him leave the bed. I pursed my lips firmly, eyes are still closed. I'm exhausted and embarrassed. Probably, Rage is now thinking how pathetic I am. I swore that I'll never link myself to a womanizer, especially to my brother's friends. Yet I gave in to him. I gave myself just like that. Worst, I even begged.

Rage raised his hand, and boyishly waved, eyes are still on me. The people around looked at me, and all I did was to stand and stare at Rage. I was still dumbfounded. I blinked and stared as he glided towards my way.It felt like my eardrums are gonna explode anytime soon because of the loud cheers around. But I didn't tear my gaze to him as he continued gliding towards me.I blinked again when he stopped, just inches away from me. He's still smirking, looking amused with my expression. I took a deep breath, tightened my grip on the strap of the bag and looked at him again.Damn! I didn't know a policeman could be this handsome and hot!"What's with all of these, Rage?" I asked, almost a whisper.He cocked his head and pursed his thin lips. Formally stand up and sneeze as if trying to get serious. My forehead furrowed, unable to read what he was thinking."I'm Police Officer Rage De Luca from CIDG, Miss Mongreco," he said firmly with a ghost

My hands were cold and were almost trembling. Beads of sweats formed in my temples while my body was slightly shivering because of tension.I am now already cooking the third dish for the contest. It was almost a miracle that I reached the final phase. All my opponents are from higher batches. Now, there are only four of us left.And just looking at how my competitors presented their dishes for the first two phases, I knew they weren’t casual. So I became even more nervous especially since there are definitely a lot of people watching what is happening here backstage. The judges, my schoolmates and my family. I don't want to disappoint them."It looks like the fight between our contenders is heating up even more!" I heard the emcee say on stage. That was followed by a loud shout from the crowd. I heard them cheered different names. That includes me. As many ADU people came to support.I wiped the beads of sweats using the back of my hand. I don't wa

Many more schoolmates greeted me. Most of them are my batchmates. Wilson's group also greeted me. There were also coordinators who approached before we left. I have to admit, I had a hard time with the preparations made. Doing school stuffs and practicing at the same time needed a lot of patience. However, I eventually succeeded. My efforts and hardships were paid off.Upon returning home, a party took place. I was thankful for everything that happened. I was thankful for everyone who supported me. Without them, I would not have the courage.The courage that brought me the trophy. I even doubted my own skill. But at the end, everything was rewarding."Aren't you tired?" Rage asked me."Not so much."We are in the garden with Revo, my cousins and the rest of their friends. After dinner they had a drink here. Neri went home immediately. The elders left first and gave us our time. I was already a bit sleepy, but I didn’t want to sleep yet.

"Why didn't Neri come? I told you to invite her," Mom said as we walked back to the cottage."She can't come. The arts competition is next week. She's probably preparing.""I know that girl really has a talent for painting. I know her mother. I've met her in some social gatherings when she was still alive. She's a renowned artist. So I'm sure from her Neri inherited the talent in art. I just hope that she'll win. Send my regards to her when you meet. "When we returned, Livius, Jonas, and Carson were taking a bath. Revo and Sage are grilling some pork. Markus and Hitler, on the other hand, were drinking beer and sitting on the sand, talking about something. I turned to look at the way towards the hotel. Even from a distance, I knew Rage’s eyes were still on me as he walked in our direction."Oh, Rage, where are you from?" Mom asked. I bit my lower lip and was nervous. I saw Revo's lips twitched.Rage looked at me. I glared at him but the idio

Rage's POV"Oh, Elena is here." Jonas pointed to the girl wearing a pale pink dress. She was staring at the piano with her curious innocent eyes.His candle-like fingers traced the space in front of the piano. The amazement was etched on her pale face. Looking down, his long lashes were sharpened. Those have little curls at the end, making her eyes look so soft.Her hair is longer compared to previous visits. Although I heard she's only nine, the way she looks and moves told me she's older than that. Her demeanor was refined even as a child. And she has that paper white skin that I always notice every time it turns to pinkish white, when it's sunny or when from tiredness every time she helps her Mama."She's so pretty, isn't she? I'll make her my girlfriend once she's thirteen or fourteen," Carson said to me immediately."Why don't you prioritize your project? You're not here to fancy a little girl, Carson.""Ow. You sound like you're too ol

"Congrats! Another successful performance!" Luke hugged me at the same time, while Rita was still in tears by our side."You're really good, Miss Elena!”Many more greetings happened backstage. Rose and Brenda, who had a banner before, didn't give up. It wasn't the first concert I had, but it felt like the happiest. Not because there were more spectators, but because they were waiting for me below the stage.When I entered the dressing room, I did not hesitate to find him. He was leaning on the small table, staring at the gifts I received from the fans.I slowed down and stared at him intently. He's now staring darkly at the boxes of chocolates. His brows furrowed, seemed so annoyed at the innocent chocolates."You like

After the show, we returned to the city and Rage took me home. He said he would pick me up at six o'clock tomorrow. Although he assured me that his family will surely like me, that didn't ease my nervousness.I know I have achieved so much. But I still can’t get over the thought that many women are more deserving of him. He's holding two of the companies under their empire, if he chooses a woman in line with his track, he has a partner in management. To think it was easier for him then. It's an advantage he didn't take."Elena, answer me, will you? I've asked a question here before but you don't answer me!" Luke sighed as he followed my movements.I was busy finding an appropriate dress while he was prying around. Of course now that we're on our own he hasn't missed it yet. I'm sure he was very eager to ask me earlier. Only now was given the chance so I wasn’t let go."Are you really? Something happened to you? How was he in your suite earlier

In drowsiness, my eyes warmed as I leaned against his chest. He caresses my hair as silence prevails over us. All happened too fast, I can't help but close my eyes and remember all of it bit by bit. If I wasn't drowning to him before, now I can say I'm drowned, and I might not be able to get up again."I won't go to work tomorrow," he said.I looked up at him, eyes wide. He lifted my head a bit, he adjusted the overlap of my head on his arm. He then snaked his arm on my waist, resting his hand on my hip."It's okay. It's also my last mall show here in Laguna. I'll be back in Manila right after. Just go home tomorrow."His eyes darkened, the reluctance was surely screaming in his head."I don't have important meetings tomorrow. Why can't I skip even just a day? Besides, I can make time for you always. I want to be with you. One more thing, I hope I have a plan for us tomorrow night. Will that be okay? "I looked up at him even more. He crouch
The Assassin and The Alpha 70: Promise Me
I was busy for the next few weeks. Rage visits me regularly. We can't go out much because my schedule is hectic. On top of that, I also avoid the people so I can’t go to crowded places. I didn't hear any complaints from him, though. I also lost my fear of Lyka because they were already locked up and Rage made sure that they could not get out again.I was shocked when Lyka's mother asked for an appointment with me. He talked to Rita and since it seemed like he had no bad intentions, I agreed. It was true, she didn't mean any harm. In fact, he met with me to apologize for what Lyka had done. She said, it was her fault she didn't guide her enough to be a good person. I said it wasn't his fault. It was Lyka's choice to take the wrong path.We always have a choice to be good or bad. That is not the fault of the people around us. It is our own will to choose what we want. And sometimes, we tend to do things we know could hurt other people."Ma'am, there are flow
The Assassin and The Alpha 69: Nothing is Less
When we got out of the car I adjusted the bag on my shoulder before facing Rage. "Don't go up. I can go alone from here," I told him and pointed to the elevator.I noticed that the security of the whole building was tightened even more, and even here in the car park the guard increased."I'll walk you to your door," he insisted.I bit my lower lip subtly and just nodded to avoid an argument. If I contradict him, the conversation will be long. And I am still embarrassed of how I confessed earlier at his penthouse. I can't believe I had the guts to say that to him. And when I remember his reaction it was like someone was drumming in my chest. I've never seen him that surprised... and genuinely happy."Is Luke already inside?" he asked as we confessed to my unit.I nodded. “Maybe already asleep...""Okay. Get inside," he demanded softly.I nodded. "Are you going back to the penthouse?""No. I'll sleep at home first because D
The Assassin and The Alpha 68: Finally Home
Elena’s POVWe used the chopper to go back to the city. At the helipad of the MG building the chopper landed, and I didn’t expect who were waiting for me there. Luke, Rita and Rose were there. As well as Georgia and Zoren. But what surprised me was to see who was on the side of the five of them."Livius..." I whispered under my breath."Put this on," Rage said and handed me his black coat.I nodded and put it above my sleeveless dress. She helped me fix my wind-blown hair before we approached the waiters."Elena!" Luke's voice can surely break walls. He couldn't wait any longer. He met me halfway and hugged me tightly."I'm glad we met again! It's finally all over! I missed you so much, K! You worried me so much too!""You made us all worry, Elena. I just found out everything that happened yesterday. Why didn't you tell us? Mommy and I could have helped you," Georgia said.I let go of Luke's hug and faced them. My e

Rage’s POVI can feel my hands slightly trembling. Fuck. Why does she have to hurt me over and over again? She's the only one who can hurt me like this. Only her. But why does she keep on hurting me?Confused and pained, I followed her steps. I gently touched her arm once calling her name. She faced me with anger in her eyes. She violently removed the arm from my grasp."What? Didn't you hear me? I said, go out! Get out!""Why are you doing this to me?" I asked weakly.She told me she'll visit me on my office. But he did not come. Worst, she was nowhere to be found. I'm very worried. I even ditched my meeting with a foreign supplier and canceled the rest of my appointments because I was busy searching for her for the last six fucking hours!Then can I reach him like that? Kissing the bastard that was beaten up? She didn’t know how dark my vision was when I saw them in that position! For the first time in my life, I felt like I ca
The Assassin and The Alpha 66: Misunderstanding
I gasped a few times as I stared at the sea. I don’t know what came to mind and I went here in El Fuego. But I don't have anywhere else to go. Well, not literally. I mean I couldn't think of another place to go. Maybe because my mind is clouded with the things that’s going on so I can’t think clearly.I'm angry, that's the truth. I am angry at what is happening in my life. Yesterday, everything was okay, I was happy. But suddenly all of these shits happened. Seriously? Don’t want to stay happy with me? I'm not doing anything wrong, ah? Why doesn't destiny want me to be happy? Am I a cruel person? I know I'm not that good. But I also know that I'm not that involved. So why is this? Why do I have to shed tears over and over again?"Crying won't make you look pretty."I looked at the person speaking next to me who I didn’t even realize was approaching me. Recognizing who it was my jaw dropped in shock. It's been years since I last saw
