ISLA“What if Apollo will come here?” I poked Becca and asked. However, she was too busy chit-chatting with the blonde-haired man beside her.I heaved a deep sigh and glanced at the crowd. The club is too lively as the loud flirtatious music roared inside.I poked Becca again and this time, I caught her attention. “What?” she asked as if pissed because I’m interrupting her flirt session with the guy.I arched my brow and sighed after. “I’m gonna find the restroom,” I uttered and flashed a weak smile.“Okay,” she replied.Great! Seems like she’s too entertained and was enjoying the night. I shook my head and get down from the stool and started to find my way to the club restroom.I was praying that I won’t bump into any person that is related to Apollo. Gosh, what if I will cross with Zero?Are we going to do it again?Damn with your flirtatious mind, Isla!I admit that being with Zero is beyond a perfect dream come true. The way how he touched me, the way how his hardness delved into
ISLA“Are you sure Apollo didn’t see Becca?” I asked Zero while I’m fixing myself in front of the mirror.Zero gazed at me through the mirror. “That’s why you need to go home now.”I arched my brow. “Huh? We’re still enjoying—”“You need to go home before Apollo will find out that you two, we’re here. I will tell Becca. So, hurry up and let’s go upstairs,” he uttered which makes me nod my head and glance at my reflection one last time.When I’m done, we exited the ladies’ restroom and we were lucky enough because no one dared to enter.“This way,” he headed and walked narrowly and it led us to the stairs. We climbed until we reached the second floor.“Where’s Apollo then?” I asked.“At the VIP area near the entrance. Don’t worry, he will not see you because he’s staying at the blind spot,” he said which confuses me but I just nodded after.“Hey,” Zero called Becca’s attention as we stopped near them.“What?” Becca replied and was glaring at Zero. “Why are you with my best friend, Zero
ISLAThe moment we enter the condo, Zero claimed my lips and pushed me into the wall. The impact was a little harsh due to his force. My back feels the pain but it was gone when he started to nibble my lips and lashed his tongue inside my mouth, savoring how sweet.The rush between our actions portrays like were hungry lions, craving for the flesh to ease our hunger.He clasped his hands around my butt and lifted me.“Where is your room?” he asked.I pointed to the white door at the left. Carrying me, we walked towards it and gets inside. I screamed when he threw me on the bed.He let out a chuckle as he started to remove his clothes until he left nothing. The room was dim and was only lighted by the two wall lights.“Lights on or—”“Lights off,” I interrupted.By the beam of the dim lights, I saw how he draw a sly smirk on his lips as he walked closer to me. I removed my dress and then threw it on the floor, leaving nothing.The chill coming from the AC embraced my body but when he t
ZERO“Where the hell did you go, man?” Apollo asked the moment I came back to our seat. “You’ve been gone for hours,” Apollo added.I grinned and grabbed one beer from the bucket and opened it. ‘If only you knew where I have been, I bet you will curse me to death,’ I thought.I drink from my bottle and crossed my leg as I leaned on the couch.“Man, you should stop fucking every woman out there. You don’t how karma ceases for you,” Apollo uttered and laughed. He’s already drunk.“Man, we should enjoy our life to the fullest which includes a happy sex life,” I replied and drink again on my bottle of beer.Apollo scoffed. “I’ll let my princess graduate in college before I focus on my happiness.”I was surprised by his thought. It’s the first time that I heard him say that. So, that explains why he’s too protective of his sister.“Don’t you think you’re strangling your sister because of the way how you treat her?” I asked and put down the empty bottle and get another one.Apollo smiled. “
ISLAOn the first day of school, I was beyond happy. Finally, I reached the last stage of being a nerd. Just kidding.“I didn’t expect that this University could be this freaking huge,” Becca uttered while we were sitting on the bench near the school entrance and looking at the tall building.“We knew that this was not just part of this University. We didn’t explore it all yet. Since we’re just going to have orientation today, why don’t we start touring ourselves?” I suggested and looked at her.Becca arched her brow and cup her face with her left palm. She heaved a deep sigh. “I’m too lazy to walk. I think my bed is still calling me,” she uttered.I frowned and puffed some air out of my nose. “Then I’ll get going all by myself—”“No!” Becca looked at me and glared. “I don’t want you to leave me here,” she said, seems trying to pull some drama.I shook my head in disbelief. “You’re unbelievable, Becca.”“Isla,” she called my name and I gazed at her as I arched one of my brows.“What?”
“ISLA! Apollo is calling!” Becca shouted.She heard it but she can’t go out yet because her body was full of soap foam. She’s taking a bath for goodness’ sake.“Please, answer it!” she shouted back.“What?!” Becca exclaimed which makes her laugh. She bit her lower lip.She didn’t answer back and waited for Becca’s complaint again but she heard nothing. She turned on the shower and rinse herself.After she was done, she grabbed the bathrobe and went out of the bathroom.“Did you answer it?” she asked when she saw Becca sitting on her bed.Becca arched her brow. “Why would I?”She heaved a deep sigh and went closer to her. She grabbed the dress that was placed on her bed.“Don’t you worry that punk will call you—” Becca didn’t finish her words when her phone rang.She walked towards the wooden table and picked up her phone. “I was in the bathroom when you called,” it’s the first thing she said.“How’s your first day at school?” he asked. She sighed in relief when Apollo doesn’t sound ma
NO ONE dared to talk until they reached the club. “Who owned this club, Zero?” Finally, Becca broke the silence between them.“Do I look like I know all the shit in the universe?” he answered which makes Isla frown.Becca rolled her eyes. “You can answer it nicely, you know,” she said, sarcastically. “Come on, Isla. Let’s drink all night,” she uttered and dragged Isla towards the club. They were about to step inside when two bulky bouncers stopped them.Becca arched her brow and stared at the guy on her left.“I.D please—”“They’re with me,” a deep voice came from their behind and the bouncers parted, letting them enter.Becca rolled her eyes and dragged Isla again.“Stop being stubborn, Becca,” Zero warned when they successfully entered.“I’m not. You’re being meanie,” she complained and stomped her feet then left Isla as she walked towards the bar.Isla heaved a deep sigh. “Becca’s like that.”Zero put his hands inside his pocket and nodded. “I know. Hope you’re not like that,” he u
THEY enter the room and Zero ordered her to take off her dress and lay on the bed. The chill atmosphere embraces her naked body and she shivered when she lay down on the soft sheet.Zero took all his garments and grope towards her. “You’re beautiful,” he whispered before he moved his face down in her between.She moved inward and leaned as her elbows, supported her. She gasped when Zero suddenly licked her pussy.She bit her lower lip to hold herself from moaning. Zero put his arms below her thighs and continue to savor her pussy. He started to swirl his tongue from her clitoris, and suck the little nut until he reached her core. He keeps on licking and sucking every bit of her sensitive skin. She shivered when his tongue swirled inside her core and savor her depths.After a few whiles, Zero darted his one finger inside her core while he’s sipping into her wets. The way how his finger groped inside her core, finding something, indeed he’s an expert.He pushed his finger in and out as
LOVE is about taking risks.There are many different perspectives on whether taking risks for love is a good or bad idea, but in the end, it doesn’t matter because we all do it.Fear is the most lethal weapon known to humanity. Fear of being harmed, ridiculed, making mistakes, failing, and not achieving our objective. Fear can prevent us from pursuing our dreams, and goals or even taking risks with people who genuinely care about us.Eventually, love will catch up with us, and there is no way to avoid it. We are created to love and be loved, and I believe we can all agree that love is the most fantastic and indescribable emotion known to mankind.Isla was the happiest woman when she married Zero Cohen a few years ago. Zero is a caring, loving, and thoughtful husband. But was he said before was true. He isn’t perfect. They have a happy married life, but it’s not always rainbows and happiness. They argue. They fight. They have misunderstandings. But Zero’s always ensured they won’t slee
AFTER a few minutes, Apollo’s car arrives before them, and another weird thing happens. Becca opened the backseat door for her.However, she chooses to ignore it.“Let’s go…!” Becca exclaimed triumphantly.“I don’t know what’s happening why both of you are now acting weird.” Isla broke the silence inside the car.Apollo and Becca looked at each other and smiled.After a few seconds, they arrived at the Peterson mansion.“Let me open it for you, princess,” Apollo asserted when Isla was about to open the car door.She heaved a deep sigh and let the two weirdos start ruining her mood.“My lady,” Apollo uttered when he opened the door and bowed slightly.Isla, who’s started to lose her patience, slammed her brother right through his abdomen.“Fuck!” Apollo exclaimed.Becca just laughed to the side.“You’re really stunning, my bestie,” Becca complimented, but Isla just sneered and walked straight to their mansion.However, when she stepped inside, she felt that something was wrong. “Nana…!
WHAT IS it feel like to have a family at such an early age?Do we feel regrets or not?To some, maybe yes, but to others, like Isla… she has no regrets at all.Having a family is like you have an unwavering sense of security. You realize that wealth is not necessary for happiness. Rather than that, you’re happy because you’re loved, treasured, and accepted wholeheartedly.Even if you have a bad day out in the world, you know that when you return home, everything will be fine. While we are out in the world, we are constantly raising our shields and swords to defend ourselves against unfortunate and nasty people who may attempt to exploit us.However, you know that you will be able to lay down the shield and sword when you return home, as there will be no enemies. Everyone becomes so close in a loving family that they can almost read each other’s minds; they immediately notice something strange or when someone is going through a difficult situation.It’s almost as if everyone becomes so
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.
“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. Why does it have to be the person who already has a family and wants a peaceful life?”Becca stood up, but Isla held her and pulled her down.Troy gives the flowers and chocolates to his companion, who’s just merely smirking at them.I
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
“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
