"Hmmm..I missed you too" I heard her murmur in my ears and I giggled a little

"When last have I even set my eyes on you huh?.."

"Where have you been?"

"Just working you know and like I told you before I've been working double shifts so I hardly have time even for myself"

"Double shift?.."

"Yeah..any problem?.."

"So, I guess this double shift of yours doesn't give you a break," I said with an air quote

"And why do you have to work double shifts all the time..."

"Hmm hmmm.. I'm still here you guys"

"Oh sorry Kira didn't mean to cut you out like that... just happy she's back"

"Yeah, yeah, I understand. Anyway, can we at least eat before you guys continue? Cause this is getting cold already, and you know I don't fancy cold foods."

"Oh yeah sure," I said as I sat down picked up my sandwich from the plate and started eating

"Hey, Ary, you've eaten?" I heard Kira ask

"Oh yeah true have you," I co-asked

"Yeah, I ate a little at work, but it looks like I'm starting t

    "Well, not everyone is ready to get their brains burst out of their head," she said, demonstrating, and I couldn't help but laugh at her. "Did I even tell you I met a lady on my way to work yesterday?" I told her "Oh really who was that" "I seriously don't know her...but she looks shattered like she has a giant chasing her or something" "Oh wow, that's huge...hope you didn't have any encounter with her ..she might just be an instrument to lure you in..you know" "Yeah, but lure me into what exactly? I'm sure she wouldn't make that mistake again...but funny enough, I wonder how she knew my name.. don't you think that's suspicious?" "She knew your name???" Kira said with a serious look on her face "Do you know her?" she asked again "I think I just said a while ago that I didn't know her" I replied "Oh...then how does she know your name?" She asked again with a surprise look on her face "Exactly what still baffles me" "How did you know she knows your name" she said with a conf

  • Threads of Betrayal Ā Ā Ā 23. We are lost

    The sun glares in my eyes as we continue to walk around trying to figure out our way. A giant billboard overlooks the blocks with a celebrity's face on it, a young dude with a recessed chin and a genial smile. Someone spray painted a curly mustache and devil horns on his head. I remembered doing stuff like that too when I was on the street. Well, I'm still on a bit. I'm a grown up now and a little bit more mature now compared to then when I was still much younger. I used to do stuff like this with some bag gangs I used to hang out with, but I was always the one that was always scared out of my wits and kept looking out because I was always scared of the cops. Well, I still am. Gosh I wonder how long the man has looked like that. It's not like I've never been here before but since it's been a while I've explored this area, so I don't really have an idea of where to go or what to look for "Are you sure you know where we are going cause this feels like a never ending road" "Let's see"

  • Threads of Betrayal Ā Ā Ā 24. The bad guys are after us

    They dropped her to see who was talking, and soon enough, their gaze fell on me. The thin one's stare w, as intense, probing, and seemed to cut through any pretense or hesitation. His gaze was fixed on me, and he didn't flinch or look away until he started walking towards my direction. His stare was so intimidating and unsettling. I start to feel a tinge of fear inside me. All of a sudden, they both burst into laughter, and their laugh echoed through the alley. Which made me look confused. Why on earth are they laughing? "Diana" Kira's eyes wander around "What the hell are you doing" "Get the fuck outta here" "And do what,...leave you?" I said back in reply "Hey hey hey" what's up with all the noise says the big one and he started looking at me "So you're the saviour hun?" Says the thin one as he started walking towards me little by little but was later held back by the big one. I skid to a halt as my pulse thuds "Okay calm down" I said to myself "This is still daybreak.

"Yeah and guess what it worked" "It worked? Well congratulations to you cause you scared the daylight out of me already" "What? You haven't seen me for a long time so don't tell me you were expecting a normal entry" "Of course, I shouldn't have cause you're not normal I knew that from the start" "I'm supposed to come in with a grand entry a spectacular one at that as per the celebrity that I am" "Oh please, spare me the bullshit" "You it's the truth baby girl this girl in front of you ain't small... she's got some wings and wins" she said dramatically "Well don't spread that wings over to my side to avoid me chopping them off for you" "Ouch.. that's cruel" "Cruel?

    Bianca has been my friend since High school. We don't really offer the same course except Algebra, Spanish, and Phys. Ed. My stay in High school would have been boring without her. The first time I met her, I was on my way out of Algebra class when I suddenly bumped into her. She has really long and lustrous hair, a shade of golden sunshine that catches the light with every movement. It fell in gentle waves around her face as she bent down to pack her things that had delicately beautiful framing features. Her eyes are a bright blue, like the depths of a clear summer sky, and they shine with intelligence and a touch of mischief. Her skin is creamy and flawless, with just a hint of a rosy flush on her cheeks. She is slender and Her smile is warm and inviting. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean for that to happen" I said to her and she gave me a warm smile "It's okay don't worry," she said in her tiny voice not like now that her voice was matured "Yeah thanks," I said and gave her a warm smi

"Don't mind Diana, tell me what you got?" "Okay as I was coming over, I saw a smoothie Van, so I stopped by to buy one and see if it's cool...you know..." "Wait, so that means you didn't get us anything from the start" "Er... oops sorry" She said in a childlike manner "So... what happened afterwards" Kira asked before I got to question her again "Oh yeah...as I was saying before, I was rudely interrupted by this little girl right here...so I bought one and drank a little to see if it was c,ool, of course, and thankfully it was

"Hmmm..yeah that's true," she said in my support..." But does she have a boyfriend though," she said whispering into my ears "Yeah she does...since High School" "Oh wow that's cool" "I know right...

Look at me now; I am doing just fine." "Way to go girl" Kira said as they both exchanged a high-five "Yeah yeah I'm glad you are back on your feet now" "And to suit your conscience, I have some unfinished business to take care of" "Unfinished business??"

  • Threads of Betrayal Ā Ā Ā I met with Dada

    The office was huge and well decorated.This office is designed to feel like a home, featuring a blend of comfort and functionality. Soft ambient lighting fills the space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Instead of traditional desks, there are spacious, stylish tables scattered around the room, adorned with laptops and personal touches of decorative items. Comfortable chairs and sofas replace typical office furniture, inviting a more relaxed work environment. The walls are decorated with artwork and shelves hold a mix of professional resources and personal mementos. A small kitchenette and coffee station adds to the homely vibe, making the office a welcoming and unconventional workspace. It looked more like a home than an office. I told William about everything that I found out and how I've lived my life ever since I left Athens and he listened carefully as I spoke. "I'm sorry you had to find out about everything like this" William apologized"Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't too late" I said a

    As I held the pen, signing the transfer papers that relinquished control of my mother's company, my tear-filled eyes betrayed the deep sorrow within. The weight of the decision imposed upon me felt like an unbearable burden, and each stroke of the pen seemed to etch a painful farewell. With tears streaming down her face, each pen stroke felt like a painful acknowledgement of the sacrifices and tireless efforts that had gone into crafting the business. The weight of familial legacy being passed on unwillingly hung heavy in my heart. With so tears rolling gently I signed the papers with a heavy heart"Finally!!!!" Ary said, laughing so hard, snatching the papers from me. "It's all finally mine after all this years" Ary said laughing triumphantly"See that wasn't so hard?" She said looking at the papers with her"Thanks for this" Ary said and pointed the gun to my dad's head"What are you doing I already signed the papers" I said panicking"Yeah Brit what are you doing" My dad also s
