In Between /fataldestiny

THE sound of machines whirring has been bothering Hailey for months. The place she has been living in Manila, or the studio that she rented in which she can pay with her monthly income, is between an electronic shop and a welding shop. She opened her eyes and let out a deep sigh, she wants to find a new place but the rents are twice her income in a month, she would be under a lot of debt if she starts being picky. Her life was stable for someone who just started working two months ago, she could not ask for more aside from peace during her off from work and not hear machines or whatever the shop owner uses that makes a lot of noise. She got up from her bed and yawn, she did not have enough sleep since they had a blast last night. She get a hold of the remote control for the television and pressed the power button.

Edward lit his cigarette. Things have been a rollercoaster and Nick advises them to scatter and lay low for a while. Edward and his brother went back to Manila since they were the ones who took over it years ago, however, since Giovanni just jumped off the building, Edward cannot just lay low as Nick asked them to. He is itching to kill whoever or whatever made their leader jumped. He went out for a bit to cool his head and left Louis at their house in Manila. A drunk scum tainted his way, wobbling around and even touched his suit. He is in a foul mood and has no time to play, despite Nick's advice of laying low, he just wants to do something that would quelch his bloodthirsty. Edward pulled the trigger of his gun, the shot was a bullseye. He smirked then put his gun back

THE sun shining woke up Hailey from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, a clean white ceiling greeted her the moment her eyes are fully opened, they enlarged as she recalls what happened to her last night. She looked around the room and saw a long-haired man sitting at the side while sipping his morning bourbon while reading today's newspaper using a gun as his reading pointer. The moment Hailey saw the gun, she froze in the bed. Louis placed his glass of bourbon down the side table and closed the newspaper he was reading. He also put the gun down the side table and turned his direction looking at Hailey. Louis looked at her sharply, it looks like she does not know what is happening. He did not give any expression, he had decided to observe her behavior. They should not be too carefree and get touched by the angelic face that Hailey has.

HIS brother is not thinking straight, that is what Louis is thinking. Hailey must have captured Edward's attention for him to act this way. In Louis's point of view, she might end up being a poison to him, and that he needs to get rid of her, but how? He does not even know how to persuade Edward and now he needs to think of something to get of Hailey. "Make sure she does not get out," Louis looked at his brother with utter confusion. He badly wants to disagree with the way he takes care of things but he just can't bring himself to, in fact, that is the last thing he sees himself doing. Edward has been the one to call decisions, he rarely asks for advice on certain matters. "Where are you going, Edward?" Edward looked at his brother, pursing his lips. He knows to h

WITH a piece of loud music in their background, Liam and Edward seem to enjoy themselves as they drink their tequila in hand checking out all the people inside the club. "Have you heard anything from Dominic?" Edward asked. They have been investigating Giovanni's death. For them, it was hard to accept that he had already died, but the part that dominates the most is that Giovanni is full of surprises. One time he is dead, then the other he just came back to life like a total douchebag. Edward rotated a little from his right and sighed as he examines the room with a tired look in his eyes. He is contemplating whether or not to tell Liam about Hailey, he knows that once he had told him, he will just be furious with what he did so he really is not taking a lot of effort into telling him anything, but he wants to guarantee Hailey's safety, and apparently, Liam can bribe anyone. "Well, that is un

It may or may not be intentional, and the fact that Edward is drunk, it might all be the alcohol's doing and that what Edward is about to do right now might be something he will regret, or not. But with Hailey being the first person he saw as he walks and switches the lights on, it might just be what he needed for his daily life. He was just thinking of her while he is driving on his way home, he will take it as a sign and will probably go a little overboard. Edward leans a little forward to Hailey, now their faces are an inch away. Hailey did not think this through obviously, she practically let her abducted, who by the way a murderer, inclined in different types of crimes, and the most important is that he is part of the most wanted criminal organization. "Were you planning on running away from me?" Hailey gasped when Edward caressed her arms, slowly running down through her hips, and pulls her from the waist pulling her closer. Hailey wa

A week had passed, and Louis has not said a word with Hailey's refusal to his offer and with confronting Edward. Obviously, he needs to do it sooner, though there is not much interaction between Edward and Hailey. He did expect that at least the two of them would hit it off, but to his surprise, the exact opposite of it happened. "Get some coat on my wardrobe. We're going out," Edward said without looking at Hailey. She was confused, of course, she has not been outside for a week straight. Edward bought her clothes the other day, and honestly, all of them are either expensive or super expensive. He must be that kind of person who shops without having to care for the price. "Faster, Hailey. I have no time to wait," Hailey was just about to say something when Edward turned his back at her. She just grinned a little and followed him inside his walk-in closet. Louis looked at Hailey and E

"Why are you deciding things without asking for my permission?!" Hailey was furious and kept on exclaiming her point at Edward's face inside the store that is why Edward grabbed her out of the store. "Let go of me! Edward, shit. Let go!" Edward let go of her arms and pinned her to the wall next to a pillar. Hailey's mouth opened a little upon Edward pinning her. The impact was quite harsh, and her back hurts a little. "You don't get to do what you want, Hailey. You don't. The moment you turned down that bargain, your life belongs to me. I must have been too soft towards you, but I am not one to be taken lightly," Hailey knows that. She knows that too well that she barely breathes with the fact that someone is in charge of her life and it is not her."I guess... I guess Italy is not so bad," she said putting her tantrums to an end. Edward looked at her and sigh. He

Louis left to book a flight with Dominic and to eliminate whoever it is that called the cops which made Edward pissed off. Hailey and Edward were left alone. This is a first, since Hailey is usually left with Louis, and it is not like they have formed a bond or something, at least nothing compared to teases that she and Edward does. Hailey is trying to keep her attention to a single thing and not be bothered by Edward's stares. She can feel her stomach rumbling and she is pretty sure that Edward is hungry as well. With the way he looks at her, Hailey can feel in the thickness of her skin the shivers that Edward gives. "Do you want me to cook?" Edward asked looking directly at Hailey. She did not respond, instead, she put all her focus on what she is doing,'Don't mind him, don't mid him,' that is what going inside Hailey's mind. She's afraid that all there is between her and Edward aside from the fact that she is their abductee
