Semua Bab The Heartless Lover : Bab 11 - Bab 20

A few days later; present time.Have you ever felt that strong feeling of vengeance? When you desperately want those who hurt you to pay severely for what they've done, if not with their lives? That's exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning and for the past eight years of my life. All I could feel inside me was pure rage.Most nights when I fall asleep, I relive the death of my parents and whenever that happens, it's either I wake up with boiling blood or teary eyes but today, it's the former. If only I could do something to save them that day, I'm still not able to forgive myself for letting that man make me pull the trigger on my dad but I won't let it slide. I crave vengeance. I'm one who forgives easily but when you cross the limit I become impatient waiting for karma to take over. I turn into a vindictive person.Bianca barged into the room, cutting me short from my thoughts "Don't tell me you're still sleeping" she folded her arms "Can't you see I'm up already?" I grudgi

Jacqueline's POV"I can't seem to find any dress that fits me perfectly" Melinda complained and she went through the dresses on the rack in the boutique over and over again."Just pick something" I groaned from one of the chairs in the boutique I was sitting on whilst using my phone"I can't just pick something" she placed an air quote on the something while speaking. "I need a hot dress, something that would drive the boys at the ball to me" she winked at me "you can't be serious" I chuckled still not looking away from my phone"I am damn serious... now help a damsel in distress" Melinda was quite dramatic "I haven't even picked a dress" I pointed out to her. I didn't know what to wear talk-less of what to pick out for her."Help me, then I'll help you" she suggested."Fine!" I put my phone in my pocket, got up from the chair and walked up to her.I took Bianca's advice and tried to get to know Melinda better, she was actually a nice person, I guess what they say is true; you should

I pulled Melinda to the side and spoke to her almost whispering so that Leonard won't hear us."What are you doing with this guy? Didn't you have a thing for Kayden?" "Not anymore, Kayden doesn't pay attention to me, I can't waste my life chasing a guy that doesn't even notice me" she answered "Okay, I get you but do you know this guy? where did you meet him and what's he doing in this ball?" I interrogated her "That's Leonard, a rich boy I met on the internet, I invited him to the ball. He flew all the way from Australia to see me" she answered innocently"Hmm that's nice" I smiled evilly, Leonard has walked into his death trap... "Bianca and Warren are searching for you, it's urgent" I lied to her"Then I have to get going""Yes, you do.. in the meantime, I'll say hello to Leonard" I spoke politely"Nice, you two should catch up, I'll get back to you guys soon" she spoke as she walked away.I put on a straight face and walked to Leonard "So, you're the rich guy from the internet

It was a stormy night. The high speed of winds made the nature of torrential rain violent. I was running on the lonely street seeking shelter, I was far away from Scarface's warehouse and my uncle's mansion.I stood in front of a three-story building which appeared to be abandoned, shivering, the biting wind was becoming unbearable for me. I walked to the side of the building hoping to find some sort of shelter but there was none, I kept walking about the surrounding, I was tired of running. I needed to hide somewhere."Freeze!"I heard a masculine voice from behind, I quickly put my hands up in surrender."Good, now slowly turn around"I did as instructed only to see a red-haired man pointing a gun at me. "Please don't shoot, I'm unarmed" I begged."Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man questioned."I'm... I'm Jacqueline, I mean no harm... I just need a place to spend the night" "Wait a minute" The man looked at me from head to toe... "I know you, you're Jacqueline Catta

"I thought you'd be dead by now" I looked up towards the door and saw Alexa coming in, behind her was Raymond whose face was covered in bandages except for his eyes and lips."You want me dead?" I chuckled a little bit."Absolutely not" she squealed as she hugged me. She heard the news about me being spared and joining the gang."I wish they killed you" Raymond rolled his eyes.I shot him a death stare without uttering a word. I could literally hear him swallow something, he quickly walked out of the room in fear."You're officially my favourite person" Alexa laughed as she squeezed me in a tight hug again. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone from the Hernandez family to be sweet. I hate hugs but I guess I have to learn to deal with Alexa's constant hugging."A few hours from now, you'll officially become a Matrix" Alexa spoke with excitement."I can't wait" I forced out a smile."Let's get you a new outfit for your initiation" Alexa dragged me by my hand out of the room."Wait!" I s
