46: In the Midst of Chaos
I thought everything will flow just like how I wanted them to be. I thought everything was okay. I won the competition. I even got a spot on my dream school. The things I had hoped for the most happened.
But in the days that followed, many things happened that I did not expect. Events that I didn't see coming. Events that caught me off guard. Events that I tried to ignore just to reach my goal.
"I-I... don't know what to do to console him, Elena..." Hearing my mother's soft sobs made me weak. "It's been days but he's still unresponsive. He's always drinking and not even eating well." She sobbed again. And all I can do is to hug her. A hug that I don’t know if will alleviate the grief she feels. But this is the least I can do.
Two days after I received the offer from Madame Linton, Revo started suffering from an emotional break down. News of the plane crash shocked his sanity.
In all my life, I have never seen Revo like that. He's always composed in

The Assassin and The Alpha 47: Alluvion of Pain
We are happy even though we are far away from each other and don't always see each other. He was my inspiration in everything that I do. He was all I think of every time I'm having a hard time in school. When I miss him and my family, his voice alone is enough to calm me down."Merry Christmas, love." Bending a bit, he kissed my nose and cheek. We were on the balcony of the house, watching the fireworks display above.I smiled. Even though he is the only one with me now, I feel so happy. Mama promised that they'll come here tomorrow, though.She couldn’t leave today because she’s worried about Revo. She told me he was drunk again. I understand it. Also, they knew that Rage is going to keep me accompanied, so they must be thinking that I will be alright. I understand it, I’m also worried about my brother. I hope he would recover from his loss soon. I know it won’t be easy, that’s for sure, but it’s the nature of life. We lose s
The Assassin and The Alpha 48: I Lost the Man I Love
"Hey, what's wrong with you, Elena? Your class standing isn't good anymore. You know, it's better not to worry too much about what's going on around you. It's your dream so I'm just reminding you why you are here. You dreamed for this! And if you continue that, you will be expelled!”I sighed at what Timmy said. I no longer knew what to do. I am preoccupied of all that's happening. I can't even do schoolwork well.She sighed heavily. "If that love is distracting you, then I must say, choose wisely. I think because, it looks like you can't combine study and relationship. So the decision is up to you, Elena. Choose what's more important now. "What he said bothered me that night. What she said has a point. But no... I don't want to choose. I don't want to let go of him. I cannot do it.But... we're both having a hard time.Gradually, this relationship becomes an obstacle to our roles in each other's lives. Before I came here, I promised to myse
The Assassin and The Alpha 49: Reminiscing the Past
I stared down on my coffee lips are pursed while looking at the hot liquid with nothing but coldness written on my face.It's my third winter here in Las Vegas. Yet here I am, nothing could warm the coldness inside me. I have been alone here for two years. I haven't seen Morris in two years. The night he said 'I love you' was also the night he left, the night when we cut our ties. The night when all I did was cry until dawn broke.Everything has an end. Only that, our relationship was cut shorter than it should be.And all I can do was to accept it, to move on and live my life without him."Coffee is meant to be drank, not to be stared at."I looked up when I heard that voice. A grin was plastered on his face as he sat across me. He set down coffee and a plate of brownies on the table."What are you thinking, huh?"I sipped on my coffee. "Never mind, Wilson. It's just nonsense things."Wilson together with his fam
The Assassin and The Alpha 50: Go Back Home
"Are you sure about this, Elena?" Doubt can be seen on Wilson's eyes when I told him I'll be going back home next month."Do I look like I'm kidding, Wilson?" I sipped on my cocktail. "I told you, I want to build my first restaurant there." I crossed my legs and stared at him.She shrugged. "In that case, let's go together. My project will end by the third week of this month."I grinned and shot my brow up. "You really don't want to be separated from me, do you? Don't tell me you want something from me now?" My eyes are challenging. Despite the topic, I don't find it awkward when it comes to him. And I know the same is true of him. We are just very good friends.His laughter was accompanied by the music around. "You're too confident, Maddy.""I always am."He shook his head and grinned. "But seriously, I am worried. Are you ready to face Morris again? You don't even know what's happening on his life now. Don't you want to know? You know, so
The Assassin and The Alpha 51: Can't Stop the Tears
I shook my head while looking in the mirror, examining my outfit for the night. It's a crimson red dress flowing down to my knees. My killer heels are also red, as well as my lips. All of those made me look fiercer.I sighed and picked up the cellphone on the table. I typed a text for Wilson.She is my escort tonight. His family got an invitation, too. But he would have had no intention of going there if I hadn't just taken him. I think I would be more comfortable if he was there.Me:Where are you? I'm ready.I looked at my reflection once more before getting my silver purse and walk out of the room. I walked quietly down the hall.A few seconds later, my phone beeped.Wilson:I'm outside.My lips twitched as I stepped down on the grand staircase. I put them first Mama and said Wilson and I would go together. I saw the disapproval in Revo's face, but he also did nothing without hesitation Mama agreed.She loves W
The Assassin and The Alpha 52: Uncontrollable Changes
When I calmed down, I let go of Wilson's hug. He handed me a handkerchief which I immediately wiped with the tears running down my cheek, as well as the mascara that spread under my eyes. It made me look horrible so I immediately wiped it. But it didn’t do well so I wet the handkerchief a bit. Wet wipes would be better, but I don't have it now so I'll settle for this.I quickly adjusted myself and retouched so as not to notice that I was crying. Now, it's my pride that's all I have. And the least thing I could do is to save it.After I got satisfied on my look, I turned to him. We can't stay here long because someone might have entered."Are you okay?" he asked gently. The look is predictable.I tightened my grip on the purse and smiled sparingly."Let's go. I am fine now."He sighed and nodded. He held my waist and opened the door. We quietly returned to the hall. I saw Mama, they were at the same table with Aunt Laura. Cheska wasn't
The Assassin and The Alpha 53: He is Illegal
After Wilson and I met, he had to go back to the office so he immediately said goodbye.Since I had nothing else to do for the day, I just went to the mall and bought clothes and some cosmetics. If only Neri or Timmy were here I would be happy today. But sadly, they're both busy with their lives.I didn't buy that much so I was able to carry the paper bags alone. I took a taxi home. In fact, I can call our driver and pick him up, but it's okay for me to commute."Gilda, please take it upstairs to the room," I commanded upon arriving at the mansion.I frowned when I heard a noise in the pool. I walked over to the double doors and peeked in there. I was stuck on the stand when I saw that Rage is with them!Why are they still here? I thought they had already left!"Hey, Elena!" I was shocked when Livius called. I rained down on him cheaply in my mind. "You're home! What? How's the date?" He laughed and went up to the pool then wiped himself.
The Assassin and The Alpha 54: Back in El Fuego
"So, you come here often?" Wilson asked when we arrived at the orphanage. We watched the kids play on the playground. Mom was talking with the nuns."Yes. I used to go with Mom. We've been supporting her for a decade." I turned around for a moment. I thought Sage and the others will come?"I thought you didn't want to see him? Who are you looking for?" Wilson asked sarcastically.I stared at him."Who says I'm looking for him? I'm just wondering why my cousin isn't here yet. Don't worry about that."He chuckled. I just looked back at the kids."Nah. You’re just creating lame excuses. Supposedly cousin but—ouch!" He winced at my pinch. I wanted to pinch him again but he immediately grabbed my hand and smiled."Hi Sage!" cry of a child staring behind us.I quickly turned around there and my heart almost jumped with excitement when Rage and I caught sight of him standing next to my cousin. He's wearing a gray shirt and
