Xavion."Now that you made your choice, you should know what's coming, right?" Bryce's jaw tightened as he looked at me seriously.I whirled around, avoiding an answer to give him. I'm still thinking of my next move. I have to be careful this time because too complicated."I don't think it will get complicated anyway. Just play dead. That's the best course you should do," he suggested. He is now beside me, drinking his beer."Quinn's father threatens all his enemies to attack them if they don't get Quinn back. He suspected that Quinn had been taken captive by one of their adversaries. However, the search has been temporarily suspended based on Dominique's recommendation."I furrowed my brows and locked eyes with Bryce."They didn't know where to start searching, and their announcement made every mafia in the low-rank gang together to fight them. That's why Dominique suggested stopping searching for Quinn and staying low is the most proficient way, as they don't want to make more enem
Quinn . “Great job, Quinn! Have you had any experience with shooting?” I handed back the gun to Reeve. I felt much more confident this time. I was frightened when I held his firearm earlier, but Xavion’s face flashed in my mind. I recalled his advice, which helped me stay strong. “Yes. I was brought here by Xavion, who also taught me how to handle a firearm.” “Oh, really? That’s unexpected of him,” he said while shaking his head and packing all the gear. “Is it okay for me to ask you about something?” I swallowed hard. I’ve been meaning to do this, but I am holding myself. Reeve is the only person that is approachable and friendly towards me. I can open up to him quickly, but not to Xavion. I’m too scared to open at him as I don’t want him to misjudge me. “Sure. Ask me about anything, and I will do my best to answer your request.” He winked and continued what he was doing. I was following him. "Uhm, a-about Xavion?" He stops and faces me. “Hmm, what about him?” “How long do
Quinn . "Come on, guys. Is there no hug and a kiss? A farewell hug?" Reeve played a joke on us, and Xavion shook his head. He is smiling a little bit. "You dickhead. You take care of Quinn, okay?" "Of course, I will, Xav. You can depend on me. So, is that it? Not even a single kiss for me?" Reeve presented his cheeks, hinting for Xavion to kiss them, while Bryce chuckled and placed his hands on Reeve's hips. "Damn love hearts. I hate seeing people like this." Bryce mouthed, and then he turned around and grabbed the remaining things. He is heading towards the direction where the helicopter's location. I let out a sigh as I gazed at Xavion, hoping for his eye contact. However, it never came. I had been staring at him for an hour, but he seemed to be purposely avoiding me. "You know what to do, right?" Xavion's arm looped around Reeve's neck, and Reeve coughed slightly. "Y-Yes, alright. You don't have to choke me," he complained. And Xavion let go of him. He then looks at me in
Quinn . "Welcome, Quinn. Please make yourself at home and feel free to do what you like to do. Don't hesitate to explore your surroundings. There are a lot of things around here, and I'm sure you will surely enjoy them." Stella welcomed us together with the two staff. She seems very approachable. Reeve went straight to Rigo's playroom, the son of Stella. The boy greeted me earlier but was more excited to see Reeve. He grabbed Reeve straight away and guided him into his playroom. "I apologize for my son's behaviour. He gets overly excited upon seeing Reeve. However, it's Reeve's fault for introducing Rigo to all those strange mechanical toys for adults." "It's alright. It's not something that I can help with. It's more on a men's job." I winked, and we both laughed. As we walked down the footpath towards the garden's opening, I was awestruck by its beauty. It was like being transported to paradise. The plants and flowers surrounding us were all natural and truly unique. "Thank
Xavion."I'm glad you're back. It was a surprise you got stranded on that Island for several days," he said with a smirk, "Knowing you as my son, even after two days of being stranded alone, you can't be at ease until one of your cousins arrives to rescue you." Dad looks at me suspiciously.I gritted my teeth and looked at his eyes thoughtfully. "I was having fun, Dad. The typhoon arrived, and it hit the Island. I ended up cleaning the post and the surroundings. I instructed the boys on the materials that I needed. That's why the rescue took a while," I answered, looking at him without a trace of fear."I see," he nodded. He took a step closer to me this time."What about your mission? I've heard you showed up in Dalton with Bryce. What's that all about? You didn't tell me you joined the lowly kind mafia's world bidding party?" His jaw clenches, and his eyes aim at me like a bullet. I gritted my teeth but never shifted my gaze."Brandon was there, Dad. I followed him, and Bryce arran
Quinn . Good morning, Xav. I hope you are having a great day ahead. Take care always. I smile while looking at the message in my sent items. The sun greeted me warmly, and I felt liberated for the second time. Thanks to Xavion for making it happen. Whenever I am with him, all the impossible things become possible. I have devoted my life to him. Regardless of his feelings towards me, I will pursue him relentlessly. I ended up walking down the beach, and the tide was low. There’s little water, and the seaweeds are visible along the shore. There are plenty of sea urchins along the side and little corals. The Island is gifted with nature’s bliss, and I love it. “Quinn!” I saw Reeve waving at me with little Madison beside him, so I walked towards them. “Good morning, Miss Quinn. How’s your morning?” Madison greeted me. I bend a little bit to meet his gaze. “I’m good, Madison, and how are you?” I responded, touching his soft straight black hair. “I’m doing well, thank you. Uncle R
Xavion . "What the hell is this all about?" My mouth parted when I saw the boys in circles. The look in their eyes the moment they saw me stepping inside scared the shit living daylight of my fucking life. "Xavion Xavier Mondragon, man! It's finally over." Atticus strode closer towards me, and his arm instantly looped around my neck. "Damn, you're taller than me. Stop growing all right." He messed up with my hair in circles, and the boys laughed. "Fucking hell. I want to know what's this all about?" "Reeve!?" I uttered bitterly and looked in his direction. He is now hiding behind Bryce. "Dammit!" I ducked in as Norman and Conrad came flying towards me. "Shit. Hell." I swore as I protect myself from their kung-fu, not-so-funny moves. They all want to mess up my hair and my effing clothes. "So, tell me, what do you want, Xav? What do you want from all of us?" Drew chuckled, and everyone paused. Conrad and Norman let go of me. "Lucky bastard," Norman winked and shook his head.
Quinn . I can't believe this, but this is happening, alright. The kiss earlier was beautiful. I felt like floating on cloud nine. It's the same feeling I have with him back then, but more intense this time. We sat together side by side and were quiet. Everything around here was still dark, but the floating lights on the sea in front of us shimmered beautifully. They are dancing like how my heart is pounding hard right now. "D-Did you have fun with all of your cousins?" I faltered as I looked at him. "Yes. I did. They probably didn't notice that I was gone. I only excused myself to go to the toilet but ended up beside you." He smiled a little bit but wasn't looking at me. My heart flutters, and I smile. I press my lips together to hide my nerves. He inhales deeply before speaking again. "I drank a lot." He chuckled slightly, "So stupid of me." He shook his head. "About the kiss. . ." He paused and is now looking at me in the eyes. I'm excited to know his thoughts about our kiss
