The Playboy's Downfall The Rejection
WHILE holding each other’s hands, they walked towards the park. One moment, Isla was surprised by Zero’s actions—well, he never failed to do it so.Diverting her thoughts about Zero, she then fixed her gaze on the dancing fountain. They walked a little bit closer, and they stopped near the lamppost.She tried to pull her hand out of his grip, but Zero grasped it tighter, and when he looked down to meet her eyes, he shook his head. “Let’s stay like this for a while,” he said.She sighed and then nodded. For the last time, she thought. She set aside her feelings for Zero for a while and let herself be taken to the rhythm and perfect view of the fountain. She tried to delve her connection deeper towards the different lights that flashed into the water. And started to hum to the music.Zero let out a smile while he’s staring at Isla. The woman never failed to amuse him. She’s been the sudden light of his darkest world, and tonight, he will remove that light once again.Then suddenly, he w

“THIS is your choice, Zero. So, why are you still showing your concern?” It was Apollo’s voice that roared on the other line.Zero sighed as he drank his can of beer.“Is she really okay? Why don’t you bring her to the hos—”“Zero, don’t be paranoid. It was just stress. Her body badly needed a proper rest, and it’s good that you already cut ties with her. I warned you before, and I know my sister is hardheaded. However, you’re older. It was you who was supposed to move away—”“I’m doing it already, Apollo. Just call me again when she wakes up. Bye,” Zero uttered and ended the call.Apollo heaved a deep sigh as he stared at his sister, that is lying on the sofa. He didn’t bother to call a doctor since he knew Isla’s body was shocked because of the drama earlier.If only it weren’t a plan, Apollo might have punched Zero’s face.He stood up and went to the kitchen to make a coffee, and once done, he got back and gasped in shock when he saw Isla’s eyes were opened, but the most shocking p

APOLLO was sending messages to Zero’s social media account when suddenly, Isla softly whimpered.Isla opened her eyes and her forehead creased as she wondered where she was. She moved her head, and her gaze darted to Apollo.“Hey,” Apollo greeted as he moved closer to her, “—how are you feeling?”She tried to get up, but she could feel that her body was weak. “W-Why am I here?” she asked.Apollo sighed and sat down on the chair. “Aren’t you feeling unwell the past few days? Are you having a hard time at school?”“What did the doctor say?”“It’s because of stress—”“Yeah, staying up late at night because of my activities is the reason,” she uttered and sighed. “Can I go home now?” she added.Apollo shook his head. “No. It’s not,” he said, which made Isla turn her gaze on him.“W-What do you mean?” she asked.Apollo looked intently at her. “I want to ask you a question. Please, answer it honestly, okay?”Suddenly, Isla started to feel jitters. It seems like Apollo found out something.“

ISLAThree months had passed.My baby bump is getting bigger. My first trimester is already done. My morning sickness is still there, but with the help of my mom and Apollo, I always overcome it. Yesterday, we went to my OB and conducted an ultrasound, but the doctor can’t identify the gender yet. The doctor said we should wait for a month before we will find out the baby’s gender.I was praying that it should be a girl. However, it’s also okay if it was a boy. But Becca wants it to be a girl, so I am, while Apollo wants it to be a boy.Becca already knew about my pregnancy, and I didn’t hide from her that Zero was the father. Well, she knew that something was going on between us way back then, and I can’t lie about it.And here we are, talking on the phone again. “I want to tell Zero that you’re preg—”“Don’t Becca, don’t. I told you, I want to keep it a secret. Besides, Zero won’t give a damn, even if he finds out,” I replied.Knowing Zero hated commitment, I’m sure he will not acce

“IT’S A GIRL!” The doctor asserted, making Isla cry. Her mom smiled at her and held her hand while she was lying on the bed. It was the day when they could find out about her baby’s gender, and nothing could change the happiness that she was feeling at the moment. Not until the door opened and shock filled her system when he saw her brother and behind him was Zero.Isla’s eyes grew bigger, and her tears continued flowing down her cheeks. Her grasp on her mom’s hand tightened. When she met Apollo’s gaze, his apology was visible.Apollo approaches the bed. “I… I am sorry—”“W-Why—”“I already knew it all along. And it was I—”“I am not talking to you,” Isla cut off Zero.Zero pressed his lips as he stared at Isla.The doctor wiped the lubricant jelly in her tummy and pulled down her dress. Isla got up and removed the blanket that covered her lower part.“E-Apollo, what is he doing here?” Her voice raised as fear and anger were visible in it. It’s her sixth month of pregnancy—her second

AFTER DINNER, Isla climbed upstairs and went to her room to take a cold shower. While Zero stays in the living room, talking with Apollo.“You should talk to her, dude. And explain everything—”“I don’t want her to know that I’m a bad guy.”“You are a bad guy, Zero,” Apollo uttered and let out a soft chuckle as he laid his back on the couch. “Dude, my sister would understand that. And don’t you worry about her attitude at this moment since she was surprised by your presence,” he added.Zero grabbed the throw pillow and grasped it. “I don’t know; it seems like she doesn’t want to see me,” he replied.Apollo shook his head. “She’s happy to see you. Trust me,” he said and smiled. He hugged the throw pillow and smiled.“Did I scare her when I told her that I love her? You know that I’m not good at showing my feelings—”“Dude, I’m sure she’s being thrilled into the bones. She’s been waiting for that,” Apollo answered.Zero heaved a deep sigh. “I could really feel her coldness towards me—”

THE FOLLOWING DAY, the sun shone past through the window and was flashing bright towards the happy couples sleeping into the soft cottony sheets.Zero opened his eyes and smiled as he stared at Isla, who was peacefully sleeping in his arm. He lifted his hand and pushed back the strands of her hair. He runs his fingertips into her cheeks. Isla gained weight because of their child, and nothing changed. She’s still beautiful since the day they met.She heard her groan and slowly opened her eyes. “Good morning, sunshine,” Zero uttered with a smile creeping into his face.Isla thought what had happened yesterday was just a dream, but it turns out that it was real. She smiled at him. “Morning,” she mumbled and closed her eyes again.Zero frowned slightly. “Are you going to sleep again, baby?” he asked.Hearing Zero’s soft and calm voice made her feel thrilled and lucky. And damn, it still feels like she’s just dreaming.However, she knew that it was not.She opened her eyes again and met hi

ZERO can’t help but smile while driving toward the market. Ever since he came back, it’s the first time that Isla called him with that endearment.So, this is the feeling when you’re in love?The feeling that he felt when he first fell in love with a girl is different from this one. There’s something that he couldn’t explain when he’s with Isla, but he can simply put it this way… Isla is like his home—he finds a home with Isla.He will do his best to protect his family. His mom was right all along. Apollo and Becca were right from the beginning. If you love, you must take risks. Whatever it is and whatever it costs.Zero picked the green mangoes and didn’t last long at the market. Then she went to the nearby mall to buy mayonnaise and ketchup since he was not sure if they have those in Isla’s house.He asked Isla one time if she wanted to stay with him at his penthouse, but the woman refused. So, no matter how tiring it was, he always visited Isla every day after work at his company.

The Playboy's Downfall Saved
ZERO’S reapers reported what just had happened the moment Isla and Becca took a cab. Three of his men were already tailing them.Troy may be thought that he has watchers.“I want this to be clean smoothly,” Zero asserted as he started to wear his suit and put his gun on his shoulder holster.“Romano is already at the location, Sir,” the man replied.Zero nodded.“Where are they right now? How’s the location?”The man informed Zero about the location, and Zero nodded.“That fucktard dared to use carbon monoxide?”The man nodded.“I will fucking kill that punk once I saw him. How are they?”“They’re fine, Sir. According to Romano, they just gained consciousness after an hour.Zero glanced at his wristwatch, and it was already six-thirty.“Where’s my bike?” he asked.“At the garage, Sir,” the reaper replied.Zero then rushed towards the private garage of his building and rode his Ducati towards the location where Troy took Isla and Becca.That bastard maybe thinks that he’s not prepared.
The Playboy's Downfall Kidnapped
“CAN’T YOU feel that I don’t like you, Troy?” Isla frowned as she glared at the man who was giving the flowers and chocolates.She’s been ignoring him since that day, yet he keeps on catching her attention.“Hey, the jerky Troy Angelo, don’t wait until my cousin knocked your soul out of your body,” Becca asserted, pissed off.Troy Angelo let out a devilish chuckle. “That old man is no much to me—”“Arrogant. Don’t act braver, Angelo. You are nothing but a piece of shit,” Becca reacted, making the man clenched his fist.It’s their vacant time, and they are sitting in the garden when Troy approaches them.“They’re not married yet. So, I have the chance,” Troy uttered, making Becca burst into laughter.“Oh, come on, dickhead. There are so many women there.

IT WAS eight in the evening. After dinner, Zero and Isla stay up on the balcony of their room.Their daughter was already asleep in the next room.“How’s school?” Zero asked as he leaned on the chair and stared at her.She heaved a deep sigh, and Zero knew that there was something wrong.“Any problem?”She bit her lower lip and nodded. “In school…”“Uhm?”“—someone is bugging me and even threatening me,” Isla started and frowned when she saw Zero's unbothered face.Zero sipped on his glass of wine. “What about him… or her?”Isla sighed; turmoil suddenly pierced inside her heart which jolted her chest. Is it right to tell Zero about it? She wondered.However, it’s the best thing that she must do. Troy is a big threat.“I had a classmate. His name is Troy Angelo—”“Angelo?” Zero frowned and put down the glass on the side table. “You said, Troy, right?”Isla’s forehead creased. “Yes. Troy Angelo. And I’m sorry, I did tell him about you and our daughter. It’s the only way I thought would

“HOW CAN we get rid of them?” Isla asked as she glanced once again at the back.Zero stepped on the gas a speed the car swiftly.Instead of answering, he asked, “What do you think, baby?”Isla frowned a little bit; a thumping knocked her heart. “You need to find a deserted place or an open area.”“No people…” Zero smiled.“Don’t tell me they will fire at us?” she asked. Curiosity evaded her system as excitement jolted her chest.She saw how Zero crept a smirk on his lips. “Aren’t you getting nervous, baby?” he asked, and he drifted to the left, entering the left highway, which is bound to the mountains.“A little,” she replied.Zero let out a soft chuckle as he glanced into the side mirror once again. “Damn,” he cursed, making Isla frown and glance at the back.Soon as he darted her gaze at the foes, her eyes widened in awe. “Gun!” she exclaimed. “Faster, Zero,” she commanded.Zero let out a chuckle again. “If we’re gonna entertain those, you’ll be late for school,” he said.Isla frow
The Playboy's Downfall Caught In Awe
“WHAT’S MY next appointment?” Zero asked his assistant.“You have a meeting with Mr. Angelo, Sir.”Upon hearing that name, Zero grimaced. “Did I agree with this appointment?”The assistant started to tremble and nodded. “I asked about it three days ago, Sir,” he replied.“Take it down. And cut off the ties with the Angelos,” he said and stood up.“But Mr. Angelo was expecting you—”“I don’t need any partnership with the Angelos! Am I not clear?” Zero’s voice raised as anger lingers in it.“My apology, Mr. Cohen,” the assistant replied.“If so, tell dad to meet his friend. But you, I’m not allowing you to have an appointment with them,” he said and left his office.He walked towards his private elevator and was about to close it when his eyes widened and pierced his gaze to the person who had just gone inside the elevator.Zero was about to stay and pushed the open button when that person blocked his way.“What the fuck are you doing?!” he roared.“Zero…”“Fuck it, Tilda!” Zero’s angry

ISLAZero dropped us off at school before he went to his work.“See you,” I said and gave a peck on his lips, making Becca complain.“Geez, people,” Becca exclaimed as she got off the car.I shook my head and smiled after. Zero met my gaze and leaned forward as he gave me one more peck on the lips. “Bye, baby. Study well. No boys,” he uttered and winked at me.I smiled. “Of course, Sir. Uhm, check on Nana before you start working, okay?” I glanced at my wristwatch, “I have class at eight-thirty,” I said.“No problem, baby. See you. Text me, and I’ll pick you up,” he said. However, I shook my head.“No. It’s fine. We’ll take the cab—”“Call the driver then,” he interrupted, making me smile.“Baby… we’ll be safe. Besides, I know you’ve secured the area already, am I right?”Zero pressed his lips and rested his left hand on the steering wheel. “What do you think?”I smirked and got off the car. I waved goodbye before closing the car door.“Seriously?”I turned to Becca when I heard her v
