*I woke up the next morning feeling happier than when I fell asleep last night and that was the happiest I've ever been in a while. As I got ready for the day, Philip stopped by with Jonathan to my surprise, with Jonathan looking much better than he uses to, I guess the day head is looking up for us."Good morning you two." I greeted enthusiastically."Good morning ma'am, I believe you had a good night." Philip said with a bow."Yes I did Philip, thank you. Thank you for everything." I said looking into his eyes with a smile. I could have sworn I saw a blush on his face after I thanked him."W-well, it was my pleasure." Philip said flustered, making me laugh."And don't you look all prime and perfect this morning Jonathan." I said to Jonathan."I've had the best time of my life these past few days, although Phil here has tried to kill me multiple times." Jonathan said with his arms folded and a smile on h
*"Hi guys!" Ashton greeted and there was immediate silence.All of a sudden an uproar of screams and cheers came through the small screen, the kids were jumping and screaming everywhere, it was going wild."OMG... He's so cute." I heard Katty."Y-yeah b-but I'm hotter than he is." Deven said somewhere too."Kids, hey please calm down." I said trying to calm them down then I heard it."Stephanie, you owe me $100, Adi's got a boyfriend." I heard Trinity scream.What the hell? I picked up the phone and terminated the call immediately, I can't believe Steph had a bet with a 10-year-old on me having a boyfriend or not, that was so embarrassing.Just then Ashton burst into laughter, he started laughing uncontrollably that it became extremely embarrassing for me and when I couldn't take it anymore I took my bag and stood up to leave the cafe but again he held my hand."I'm s-sorry, p-please don't go." He
*The night ended faster than I had expected, now that they say was finally here, part of me wanted to get over with and the other part was excited to just punch people just because.I went out for a quick jog around the surrounding area so I could get ready properly for my big evening.I came back after almost an hour and almost surprising, there was a big tray in the middle of the dining with a note attached to it.Good Luck on your big eveningWe'll definitely be there to cheerYou on. From Jonathan and Philip.I was really grateful that I had people to look out for me even in this town, even after so long.After a while I went in to take a quick shower before the food got cold, Master said it's always good to honour someone's kindness the best you can.After putting on some clothes I went straight to the dining table to eat whatever was prepared by those two.What I saw next took me by surp
*In less than two hours the area around the ring began to fill up, after my encounter with CJ and that other guy I met earlier I sat in front of the entrance just to get away from it all.Apparently, the man's arm I broke was really part of the competition, but he had to drop out of the tournament obviously because I broke his arm, I let CJ work out the rest since by default I was supposed to be disqualified."Er... Excuse me, ma'am. I-it's time to get ready, we'll be starting soon." I opened my eyes to look at the big clock on the wall and then at the little woman who was sent to call me.I gave her a light nod and signalled her to go away, I heard her shuffle out of my sight as I released a sigh.About to leave I heard my name from a distance, and me being me wanted to ignore the voice but it kept on calling, I turned around to find Jonathan amongst the crowd cheering hard. Silly boy.I saw Philip close who just lightly b
*"Who are you? We've done nothing wrong. If not me please let my mother go, she's really scared and sick. Please! Are you fuckers even listening to me! Let us out!"The voices of Mandy talking and Stacy resonated loudly in the hall from the phone in CJ's hand, did this man have a death wish?"What the fuck did you do Carl Johnson?" I asked already switching to kill mode."And you better stop right where you are. You know the drill if my people don't hear from me every hour those ladies are going to have an endless rest. Good for them right? Oh, ad it's CJ to you missy." CJ said with pride in his eyes.He must have felt like he had this stage under control, I looked back at the phone and CJ, I took a deep breath walked back to CJ, he stepped back a few steps before I stood in front of him."Could we at least have a break before the final fight? I'm feeling a bit sore from the last fight." I lied trying to buy time.
*Jonathan walked me to the back of the kitchen towards the staff room. He knocked twice before opening up the room door.Three big men were lying on the ground unconscious, one of them being CJ and in the corner were Mandy and her mother both shaken up in fear."Adira!" Mandy said immediately she recognized me.I ran over and hugged her as she cried into my shoulder, she was shaking so much that I feared she had caught a fever."Are you okay? Did they hurt you? How many fingers am I holding? I'm so glad you guys are fine. I'm sorry! It's all my fault." I said babbling at a point. It's been a long time since I was overwhelmed by emotions.After another 20 minutes of crying, I was calm enough to take over from the men, I looked toward Phillip and Jonathan."Thank you, both of you. I owe you one." I said sincerely."It is an honour to work for you ma'am, you need not be grateful for anything. It was our pleas
*A few hours later, I got back to my hotel room and opened the door gently, it was pretty late and I was sure but now the ladies would have been sleeping.I walked in to find both ladies and Jonathan on the couch asleep and Phillip on an armchair sipping on a cup of tea."I took due care of your guests while you were away, so I believe you've settled everything." Phillip said not looking away from the magazine in his hand."Thank you and yes, but I kinda left a mess behind, things didn't go as smooth as I would have wanted it to go but all's well that ends well. Right?" I said pulling up the blanket on Jonathan."I'll be sure to take care of that instantly." Phillip said taking out his phone."So if I may ask? Did you find what you were looking for?" Phillip asked after he finished on his phone."Truth is Phillip, is that I was very careless in the past few months before coming here. To be honest, these past 10 I'v
*I woke up feeling the light touch of the morning sun and also the smell of something really good coming through my bedroom door.I stood up with messy hair and was half-awake to find what smelt like heaven from my dreams. I waddled through the doors till I reached the kitchen."I see you're finally awake."I rubbed my eyes trying to concentrate on whoever was speaking in front of me."Good morning ma'am, I trust you had a good night's sleep." I recognized the voice as Phillip's.I blinked twice and saw both Stacy and Phillip in aprons probably making breakfast together."Go wash up child, you'll need all the energy you can muster. I'm sure the poor thing hasn't even had a bite since yesterday." Stacy said."I made sure she had something healthy and energizing before the big fight yesterday, but I do believe she hasn't had anything since then. She sure is a disciplined woman." Both Stacy and Phil

*Warning: Mature content ahead...After the two had cried their eyes out they cuddled up close to each other with intertwined hands, Adira's head on Ashton's shoulder and the atmosphere serene, nicely folded in a vulnerable blanket... Ashton kept rubbing back on Adira's hair as they enjoyed the silence making Adira feel at peace for the first time in a while, so she began to wonder."Ashton?""Hmm?""Did you see what I did to that man in the alley?" Ashton's hand stopped midway for a second and Adira almost regretted asking when he replied."Yes, yes I did. For the end part though." Ashton answered brushing Adira's long thick black hair down her back."You hesitated." Adira chuckled lightly but sad, "but then, why are you still here?" Ashton thought about it, it wasn't like he didn't know who she was, he just didn't get a glimpse of her past. He wanted to know the present Adira and that was all the reason enough.When Adira felt Ashton's hesitation again, it crushed her but she didn
*"Mister?"Ashton turned his head to look for the little voice which had called out to him before he felt a little tug on his trousers.He looked down between his legs to find a familiar little girl standing in front of him,"Lily?" The little girl's eyes grew in amazement and wonder at hearing her name from the young man. "You know my name?" The little girl asked excitedly.Ashton smiled and sat up to listen to the little girl properly with a smile, the girl raised her arms as if wanting to be carried, confused Ashton did just that hoping she wouldn't cry."Now what does this sweet little girl want from this old man?" "You're not old, you're Adira's friend." Ashton smiled."I'm glad you think of me that way." "Thank you for taking care of Adira and for coming back," Lily said."Coming back?" Ashton asked confused and Lily nodded like he would understand what she meant."Could you explain that for me, please Lily?" She nodded and tapped his arm twice to come down when she was in fr
*Adira assigned a room to Peter while Ashton recovered in their infirmary, he would be staying as long as Ashton was and it would be nice for Phillip to have someone to talk to even if they practically hated each other.It's already been a week since they arrived and now, Adira had to explain to the rest of the house why they had men living in the manor.But before that, Adira needed to finally face Tina. She was caught the same day Hugo was put out if service, a fake location was leaked about Hugo's whereabout and that was how they caught Tina.She's been in their custody since then.After Adira's talk with Peter she decided it was time to let a mother go take care of her son, as much as she despised the family, she would not be the monster they wanted her to be.During the rebuild of the manor, Adira added a few changes to make things a little more interesting. Above were the lives of every member of the house and below h
*Since returning to the manor, Adira had not been able to return home, although her nightmares were less frequent now it still felt strange sleeping within the Wong mansion.It wasn't a problem when she slept with Stephanie in her room and right now she had no idea who she was sleeping with but it feels like she's drained every atom of exhaustion from her body.She felt a strong arm around her as she blinked her eyes open, she couldn't remember the last time she felt comfortable in a man's embrace, she stared up at his face, he was also asleep.From where she was, should see how long his eye lashes were, how pink his lips were and hoped for them on hers. For once in her life, she felt complete again. Who knows what would have happened of Ashton hadn't shown up, she got her revenge, what next? But Ashton was here now, she would take some time off for herself and of course to take care of him, since obviously she shot him so it was
*A month later and Hugo is still nowhere to be found, the tracking team was always on his tale but for some strange reason he always evaded them like he knew they were after him.That night, before Adira could confront him Hugo split the scene. According to Melody, some unknown woman might have tipped him off on what was going on.Thankfully, Melody had already planted the mini microbot in his drink thus them being able to track him down. But alas, nothing lasts forever, it was only a matter of time before those bots were ingested and the signal lost.Aside from all that, the girls were successful, they managed to take over another gang and subdue it's men and thankfully, all 25 of them made it back no casualties recorded.Adira sat in her office waiting for some good news, by now the manor was filled with less people as the older kids had gone back to their daily lives. Stephanie was there for her during these times but it seemed as if Tina was becoming mo
*Hugo was on the ground in an ally, surround by three women holding guns at his head. It was quiet, the only sound he could hear were the sound of his own heart beating and the sound of heels against the concrete.Finally, Adira stood in front of him, it was as if everything she did, added up to this very moment. After chasing him down for almost a whole year, here he was in front of her, helpless and weak."Adi- Adira, no.. you don't want to do this. Th- this isn't you, please." Hugo pleaded.Adira stood in front of his watching him intensely, the very definition of if looks could kill. Seeing him this close in front of her made her want to throw up, all she had sacrificed for him, every moment they spent, a lie.Adira drew her gun in front of Hugo, he squealed shifting back but the girls behind him wouldn't let him move an inch. "My dear Hugo, on this day 13 years ago, you dug out my heart and fed it to my and today here
*The night was still, one side loud with cheers and music and another as dead quiet as a grave site. Team Beta made their way into the camp as steely as possible.Their job was as simple, secure the perimeter as much as possible and squeeze out the leader in the mist of the excitement. Half of team Beta secured the hall the party was still hot.The second team took out every other member of the gang they could find, as they slowly surrounded the perimeter."Team Beta is in position send in the demolition team. The coast is clear, I repeat, the coast is clear." Adira's team arrives but the mission is already compromised when the men figure out that half their security is no where to be found.A fight breaks out of no where. It was early but the ladies had anticipated this much with Phillip and attacked. Adira took down every man as they pushed closer, the men came with their gun but Adira was just as ready.Adira got to the bunker the alpha team was
*"Team alpha has successfully entered into enemy base, initiating phase two, operation distraction." *Before the girls were lead in the man had to inform one of their superiors so it wouldn't complicate matters afterwards.It wasn't easy convincing him but after a thorough inspection of the ladies bodies, to be sure they weren't spies or members of the black rose and a promise to perform for the men as well as personal service."This way please, we'll provide you with whatever you need, and you promise us a performance after." Rob said clearing his throat."I can't wait to see what kinds of talents you girls have. I'm hope you don't disappoint me, I have disappointment." Michael said with a hint of danger in his voice."You've put a roof over our heads, this is the least we could do. And I'm a hundred and one percent sure you won't be disappointed." Her words were as smooth as a deadly snake, make his word seem like a worthless cry for help.Michael withdrew sensing the danger but
