Isadora spoke laboriously, "Seriously… what's wrong… with you…guys?... can't you just finish… me off without tagging that man's name?"

"What?" Lorenzo whispers, unable to understand Isadora's muttering.

Enraged, Isadora struggled to speak with all the breath she could muster, "Lance this… Lance that… do you not realize I am my own self?… It's torture to hear every one of you constantly drill on and on about how much I am like my father like you know everything…."

The more she thought about her miserable fate, the more she was at the brink of losing her sanity.

"Hah… Don't you guys get it?! I am not my father!"

Lorenzo is taken aback by the boundless depth of darkness in Isadora's eyes, riddled with despair and pain. There was surely more to this,... just what had this child gone through to make her this heartless?

Isadora lets out a small laugh, doused in self-mockery, "So what if they suffered? Even if they died a thousand deaths, what does tha

    BLACK SAINTS HEALTH CENTER "Make way! Call a doctor, here!" Mateo bursts into the building so suddenly, Felicity in arm; startling everyone in the lobby. He grabs the nearest person by the collar, "What are you fucking zoning out for, help us! Help my sister!" He barks. "I… I don't know what to do..." The poor man, most likely a patient, stammered, shaking in his boots. Mateo's hold on his collar gets tighter, aggravated. "Why is no one coming to help… how can you all abandon us again…" "I… I…" The man understood nothing of Mateo's words, panicking and caving under pressure. It felt like if he said the wrong thing Mateo might kill him in anger. "Master Mateo, put her here," A doctor and nurse run towards him, dragging a stretcher trolley. "What took you so long?!" He lets go of the man and rushes to them, midpoint. He quickly but gently places Felicity's limp body on the stretcher. "Please calm down, Master Mateo, we are going to do our best! I'm Dr. Martin."

I don't want to hear another word from you… any of you both! Why is everyone around me so useless?!" Sienna yells in anger, pointing to the two other individuals in her chambers. One worried and the latter visibly irritated; it's hard to tell if it is as a result of Sienna's tantrum or another matter.There is a rapid rise and fall of Sienna's chest, intensified by erratic breathing. "It was perfect… Everything was going so well. How did this happen?!!! How is it possible that that bitch survived forty skilled men?!"Watching the screens gave her so much pleasure, at first Isadora had managed to finish off a few men which caused her to worry a bit, but then she'd become exhausted and started getting pushed back; a delight to watch.Then, Lorenzo finally appeared, highlighting her pleasure and merciles

    ONE WEEK LATER The soft beeps of machinery could be faintly heard in the white room, doused with the distinct smell of disinfectants. Dr Martin adjusts his glasses with satisfaction just after checking up on Felicity. He jots down a few words on a note board, concluding the checkup for the night. It seems he would have to report the same results to the lord again; after several days none of the two women had gained consciousness though everything seemed fine and their conditions were very much improved. With one last glance at the two patients in the ward, he slides his pen into his breast pocket; not to worry though, they would surely turn up sooner than later. With that, Dr Martin exited the room, and with a 'click' secured the door behind him. Isadora's eyelids parts almost immediately. She glances at the door to confirm that they were alone again. Isadora slowly and carefully lifts the hospital blanket off her body. With difficulty, she climbs out of bed and decisively saunt

    "About… um about…" From the tone of Felicity's voice, Isadora could perceive how hard it was for her to reveal whatever she wanted to say. Her left hand reaches to Felicity's right and she squeezes it gently. "About two years ago when the Black Saints was almost at its peak growth and still claiming territories, specifically the place known as the red district today. The bigger gangs around there were especially stubborn and foolishly refused to cooperate with the Lord's demands, so the goals of the operation that day was for a total wipeout, no exceptions." Felicity's breath hitches and Isadora squeezes even tighter. "I was present during that raid… one of the leaders women, barely eighteen, nearing the end of my first trimester in pregnancy … high and out of my mind…" "I still have hazy memories... but I could remember it smelled of blood everywhere, I thought I would go deaf from the number of gunshots and screams. My master was dead… his goons all suffered the same fate and t

    THAT SAME NIGHT "The branding clips have been released. At this moment, anyone in the underworld with a good information network is aware of Isadora's formal entry into the Mafia." Mateo reports. Vincent, who sat behind his desk, nodded in acknowledgment of Mateo's words. It's out there now, there is no going back. "I trust you know what you are doing getting her integrated with the Mafia and our confidentiality, Lord Vincent," Lorenzo recalls some of Isadora's words, "That woman she is dangerous," Vincent's tone is saturated in an unparalleled icy note, "I'm not blind to her capabilities, Lorenzo. Flavia isn't one to be underestimated, the blood of Lance Martinez Pedro, runs through her veins. Also making her the perfect candidate for my plans." "I trust your judgment, my Lord," Lorenzo says sincerely. "Since you are here, after refusing my invitation to stay in the main mansion. I assume you are leaving." Vincent is quick to the point. "Yes, my Lord," Lorenzo confirms. "Forgiv

    7 DAYS LATER "... and that's how it split to be both the Black Saints and the Green Hounds." "Heuk!" Isadora gasps as Felicity drags the corset strings, compressing her waistline even tighter. Telling the same story for the nth time today. "Take it easy with your dress-up guinea pig, Felicity. Any tighter and she won't be able to breathe." Imelda sets the vast array of makeup products on the vanity. "I'm just so excited. I haven't seen Isadora in a formal dress before, I can wait to shove her into the dress the lord sent." Felicity gushed, finally securing the strings into a knot. "I'll appreciate it more if you are less didactic, I've heard that story so much at this point I can recite it in my sleep." Isadora sounded weary. "Great, it fits right this time." Felicity stood admiring her work, one hand akimbo; Isadora's words definitely flew past her ears. "Ugh." Isadora groans. She made a bet with Felicity about how many muffins she could fit in her mouth and lost. Who knew a

    For the remainder of the four-hour journey, silence ensued, bringing with it a ponderous load.It was the kind of quietness that descends, following the accidental crash of a glass object after being tossed around to taunt a peer, only this time both participating persons each had that glass and broke it in fault of each other; ultimately burdened by their irreversible mistakes.The daunting calm from the realization of how greatly one has screwed up… the one that challenges everything you think you know, igniting an internal battle between reason and self-betrayal. This soundless lull held a tight grip on both Isadora's and Vincent's minds.Still, both failed to address it… unable to believe their own deeds for fear of breaking the last rein on their carnal cravings and lingering desire, threatening to snap. Admitting it made it real… that reality was never meant to exist.Desperately in need of a distraction, Isadora rested her head against the window, consciously peeking into the

    Nirvana's opening dance paved the way for the guests to join in with their partners, following tradition.Vincent stretched out a gentlemanly hand, offering Isadora a dance which she took nervously. Of all the ways she thought the day would turn out she never imagined sharing a dance with her master.Very tense, she stumbled a bit but Vincent's hand found her waist, steadying her and that was when she finally realized how close they'd gotten.She mutters abashedly, "I'm sorry, I….""Shhh" His voice was very quiet, only reaching her ears, "Don't speak if you don't want what happened in the car to happen again, there's only so much I can restrain." Vincent groaned, as his breath fanned her ears.Isadora shuddered, feeling his hand slide further down her waist to the small of her back as he gently brought her closer, eliminating even the smallest gaps as he subconsciously sought to monopolize her essence around him, canceling every foreign scent of the guests around.Subdued by his selfi

  • The Untamed Alpha King and His Reluctant Pawn   Spiralling

    On the hospital bed, Sienna’s eyes weakly fluttered open and her blurry vision took a moment to clear up. Her mind felt heavy and foggy, and it took a while to get her bearings.She emitted a deep, weary moan as she attempted sitting up, overcome by the fatigue that washed over her.“I wouldn’t move too much if I were you,” Mateo advised.Sienna’s gaze snapped to the source of his voice. Mateo was sitting on a chair right beside the edge of the bed with an unwavering gaze on her. She hadn’t noticed him before.“W-what’s going on?” She struggled to form words, still feeling groggy.“You fainted yesterday. You are in the infirmary now.”“Why would I be –“ Sienna’s mind recovered its sharpness in an instant. She finally remembered.“Oh no…. I need… I need to see lord Vincent now….I need…” Ignoring her deathly aching body, Sienna hastily hurried onto her feet, almost tripping in the process.“Sit the fuck down, now, Sienna!” Mateo commanded with striking authority, yet his voice remained

    At the entrance of the Green Viper’s Mansion, a number of maids carefully but quickly stowed Sienna’s suitcases into her ride. They didn’t want to be present when she showed up, the past week plus had already put them through enough hell.The signature click-clack of Sienna’s heels could be heard as she walked towards the entrance from within. She moved with urgency in her steps and an impatient look on her face as she checked for the time on her smartphone.“Ugh, it’s almost noon and these imbeciles aren’t done loading up yet. Just like the system here, its people are also slow. How I miss Zeta!’ she groused under her breath.“Don’t tell me you’re going back to the Black Saints after you were clearly banned. It’s barely been two weeks already, do you have a death wish?” Neomi scoffed.Her voice scraped Sienna’s nerves like nails on a chalkboard, forcing her to stop in her tracks.Turning just her torso, Sienna glared at Neomi who met her gaze from the staircase landing. “Unlike you,

    "Woah," Gianna sat up and cupped Isadora's face in her hands, "Is there anything wrong?" She asked worriedly, unused to Isadora being so affectionate.Isadora let out a small giggle, "No, I've just missed you.""Hmm" Gianna examined her body, "Are you sure? You've lost a bit of weight. Where have you been all these while? Your friend said you went on vacation. Is that true?""Slow down mom, one question at a time."Isadora shook her head."Yes, I'm fine and it's true, the stress was getting to me and I thought I should take advantage of the break and relax properly before school resumed." She lied.Only after her explanation did Gianna finally calm down, sighing in relief.Isadora dragged a chair and sat by her mother's bedside, smiling.Vincent really kept his word to keep Gianna out of their affairs if she complied. That, she was thankful for. She couldn't put Gianna through the stress of worrying about her, in her condition… she couldn't drag her back to that life.Gianna noticed th

    Isadora had her back to Victor while he left. She gazed at the crumpled piece of paper in her hand and tossed it into the trash in an instant.Federigo saw this and sighed, "Don't be too upset Isadora, this is for your own good.""And who are you to tell me how to feel?" Isadora said hotly."I'm just following your father's wishes." He explained.Isadora scoffed, "If you haven't noticed, following that low life's commands isn't exactly my forte, is it?"Federigo didn't know what to say. He could see hatred blaze in the child's eyes each time his master, Lance was mentioned. If Lance could see this right now, he would be destroyed within.He couldn't tell her the truth now. He couldn't possibly explain how much her father loved her and never wished for things to play out like this. No… that would be too much to hear after all these years of pain.He could only say bitterly, "This isn't the way Lance wanted it to end.""Of course, it isn't." Isadora agreed sarcastically.Federigo led her

    Isadora smoothly settled down at the new dorm. For dinner, she ordered takeout for all and left Echo and Nirvana in each other's company before retiring to her room. She spent the rest of the night researching and filling up updates on what she's missed in the past few months and her class schedule.The next morning, Isadora rose quite early with an ominous inkling for the day and boarded a cab out of the University's premises. It was a silent ride downtown.She had mixed feelings, willingly coming back to the one place she detested the most, somewhere that was supposed to be her home. Despite knowing that the sole cause of her hatred was dead, it didn't give her much peace.She's never really got to think about Lance's death and what it meant to her. He was gone, but it didn't feel like it. Even when she strove so much to be completely dissociated from him, his bloody legacy still found ways to influence her life, in some way or another.Somehow he's managed to make himself a major ch

    "Great, you are here already!" Nirvana opened the door to the dorm, ushering Isadora in."You own quite the apartment, don't you?" Isadora commented, looking around the beautiful living space.Consisting of multiple private rooms sharing one living room, It was a place located in one of the most well-off housing areas in the school. She didn't expect to be placed in the same dorm as Nirvana. It seems she had become Nirvana's official bodyguard.Nirvana chuckled, "Just as much as the insufferable problems, there are perks that come with being born in a wealthy Famiglia," She hopped over to the mini bar at the corner and poured Isadora a glass of chilled water."Thanks," Isadora took a sip from the glass. The feel of the cold liquid in her mouth instantly melted all the tension that built up in her mind while coming here. Back to a place that she'd lost all hope on.After she received Vincent's orders yesterday, she proceeded to inform Felicity and Imelda about her pending departure. Th

    After two days of rest, Vincent summoned Isadora to his side quite early in the morning.He made her stand beside his desk, which exposed a clear view of his confidential work while he penned down some words.Isadora took liberty to peer over his shoulders while he worked. She subconsciously thought he was very attractive in his serious working state.There was a soft knock at the door."Come in." Vincent permitted, routinely.The door opened, revealing Imelda's gentle figure."Good morning Lord Vincent. I want to know if you are in the mood to try anything today." She said with a tone of anticipation."No need." Came Vincent's firm voice. Not once did he take his eyes off his desk."Alright." Imelda released a sigh of defeat and proceeded to leave the room.One day he was alright and the next he wasn't. Vincent hadn't tasted a thing since the last time he ate. She was starting to get worried."Wait." Vincent's casual word made Imelda halt immediately.For the first time since she arr

    Felicity looked crestfallen, facing Isadora's rejection. Her tone considerably lowered, "I thought you also felt it. Did I read it wrong? I'm sorry I shouldn't have -" "No! It's not you." Isadora grabbed Felicity's hands in hers, preventing her from saying anything else. She spoke, raw from her heart, "You are the most wonderful person I've ever met, Felicity." She glanced at Felicity's body, feeling a rush of desire, "Just… Wonderful." She looked Felicity in the eye, "And I do feel something for you - something I don't understand. I'm just not ready for all of this yet." Isadora explained, a bit overwhelmed. Felicity's doleful expression softened into a small smile. She looked very relieved, her eyes glued to the floor in embarrassment, "I was going crazy not acting on my feelings for a long time. I thought it would ruin our friendship." "Hey," Isadora held up Felicity's chin to meet her gaze. "Nothing can ever come between us. I won't let that happen." Felicity's heart raced at

    "Mateo doesn't mind if you hang out with me in broad daylight?" Isadora was much more patient with Felicity now that she understood their dynamic.Felicity's smile instantly fell flat with a frown. Isadora perceived she had said something wrong. Did the two get into a fight?"He's too busy to notice." She replied curtly.Felicity brought Isadora down to her quarters, where Milia sat in the living room, holding an adorable toddler.She stood up to acknowledge them, "Mistress Felicity… Mi-miss Isadora?..."Milia looked very surprised. She never expected the maids' hot gossip this morning, that Isadora had survived the monster was indeed true."Can I have him?" Isadora reached for Lucas with a smile."Sure." Milia passed him to her.Lucas, who was usually very picky about who held him, readily bent his torso towards her.Once he settled in Isadora's arms, Milia stepped aside.Isadora sat beside Felicity on the couch and sat Lucas on her thighs.His bright blue eyes stared at Isadora with
