21. Confrontation

DANTE He could no longer bear it. He decided that he was going to find his mother where she lived and confront her. Maybe letting her know that he was aware of her plot was going to derail her a little bit. He went by himself, without any bodyguard. Surely, his mother would not be so heartless as to harm him. As soon as he walked into the reception, the receptionist flashed a bright smile at him, he was sure that she had done that so much that nobody could tell if her smile was real or not. The authenticity of her smile was none of his business, so he greeted,"Good day, Miss.""Good day, sir, how may I help you?" She still had on that bright smile of hers and it was beginning to get on his nerves for some reason. But he had to remind himself that she was not the cause of his mother's weird behaviour and she did not deserve to face his wrath. "I'm here to see Mrs. Gloria Henshaw." He said to her. "You can call her room and tell her that Dante is here to see her.""Alright, sir." Sh

22. Hello, Sister

GENESISShe was massaging Elon's legs, lost in thoughts at the same time. It was beginning to feel like she was losing her mind and these days, she spent most of her time in her head. It made her feel helpless knowing that there was nothing she could do to change this situation, all she could do was hope for the best. But from the look of things, the outcome of whatever was coming was not going to be good. And she feared, not only for her life, but of the lives of Elon and his father. She wished Gloria would just disintegrate and cease to exist; that was a cruel thing to wish for but Gloria was vile enough to deserve it. She was only pulled out of her thoughts when the boy yelped in pain,"Ouch!"She looked at his face quickly and he had a grimace on as he stared at his legs."What is it? Did I scratch you?" She checked her fingers but they were short, not even to scratch anything. And even if she did, the boy could not yet feel anything in his legs. Unless..."Elon, did you feel som

23. Cover

GENESISShe had frozen on that spot. She could not believe her eyes. He was really there, with his smile still as sly as she remembered. "R—Rodriguez?" She was stuttering. Saying his name out loud made him smile even more. "I see you've missed me a lot, little sis." He took a step closer to her and she immediately found the strength to turn around."D—don't come near me." She pointed at him. "Stay away from me.""Oh come on. I flew all the way down here just for you, you should be glad." He grinned wickedly. "Long time no see.""I don't need you here." She was already on the verge of tears. "Please, leave me alone.""I think you already know that there's no way in hell that is going to happen." He folded his arms and held her gaze. "You know why I'm here.""I don't." She blatantly lied. She knew why he was here: to take her home. He believed that every member of their family belonged in that lifestyle, that their generations to come were even going to continue their legacy."You're

24. News

DANTEHe had noticed that, lately, Genesis had been listless. She was now quieter and spent more time in her room, the only time she came out was to attend to Elon, he no longer found her chitchatting with Lana like before. At first, he was going to talk to her about it, but he did not want to seem like he was prying into her private life, nor did he want to seem like he was concerned, even though he actually was.But the situation was getting worse, he began to find her zoned out in random places, like in the garden, or the backyard, places where she could easily be alone. So he decided that he was going to speak with her before she gets tempted to do something that would harm herself. He found her in the kitchen today, he assumed she was making Elon's breakfast. And as usual, she was so lost in her head that she did not hear him come in. He cleared his throat to announce his presence and she did not even flinch, she was still slowly stirring whatever was in the pot that was in fron

25. Moment

GENESIS She had found out that staying out alone in the garden or backyard helped to reduce the chaos in her head, so she decided that she was going to expose herself to nature more often. She was currently in the backyard, her feet were bare in the grass as she focused on the singing of the birds. The feeling of the evening breeze against her face did something to calm her down. Even though the voices of fear in her head were still screaming at her, they were now significantly more subtle, almost quiet. She took in a deep breath and let it out as a heavy sigh. This was one of the few moments of peace her mind had had since the day she saw Rodriguez. But she almost jumped out of her skin when she heard Dante's voice from beside her."You just enjoy staring at nothing?" He had asked out of nowhere. Now, he was staring at her with amusement in his eyes. "You get scared too easily.""I didn't expect you to show up here." She told him. "It was like you appeared out of thin air."He snic

26. Discover

GENESISShe was helping Elon stretch his legs and she was making sure to be extra careful as he was now able to experience the sense of touch on his legs. He was weirdly quiet as he watched her but she was pretending to have not noticed the boy looking at her. Something was on his mind and it was only a matter of time before he would voice it out. "Jenny, did I do something wrong to you? Or was it something I said?" The boy sounded really concerned. "If so, I am really sorry."She looked at him, confused as to why he would even think that. "What are you talking about, El?""You have been really distant lately. You bare talk and laugh with me." He pouted and she immediately felt a huge wave of guilt hit her.While she was stuck in her head, the poor kid was here blaming himself for it. "Elon, you did nothing wrong, okay?" She cupped his face in her palms. "I have just been handling some personal issues and they have nothing to do with you. I'm not upset with you at all, I have no rea

27. Confess

GENESISImmediately she was done with Elon's morning massages, she dressed up and left for Sara's place. She had called to make sure that Sara was home and was relieved to find out that she was. All through the way there, she was restless as she was anticipating that her meeting with Sara concerning this issue would turn out fruitful.They finally got there and the bodyguards only agreed to give her space only when she got to the door of Sara's apartment, that was even because she assured them that she knew the occupant on a very personal level. "You sounded like you were about to cry over the phone." Sara did not even bother to exchange greetings. Genesis was not surprised though, that was just her manner. "What happened? Trouble in paradise already?""People are after my life, Sara." Genesis plopped down on Sara's one seater couch and heaved a heavy sigh."Well, that sounds dramatic." Sara chuckled. "What does that even mean?""It means exactly what it means." Genesis deadpanned as

28. Attraction

DANTENow, he was no longer sure what was happening. It had only been a week since he got to know about his mother's new affiliate and, just yesterday, the investigator had called to tell him that the Lorenzo had been forcefully taken away by some men, they had left in a black van. The man reported that he was already following them but he could not keep up with their speed so he lost them. Who were these people that had a common enemy with him? He was just curious. He only wanted to find out who they were for the sole reason of joining forces with them. Then, he would not be bluffing when he tells his mother that he would take her down. He really hoped the investigator would get a lead on who those people were soon enough.He was currently on his way to the roof top to get some fresh air and some alone time too. But as soon as the doors of the lift parted and he stepped out, he began to hear people giggling, those voices belonged to his son and the nurse. He traced the sound of their

29. Remember

DANTEHe was trying to focus on the work he was doing, but he just could not, he was not able to. And no, it was not because he was worried about Gloria's dubious ways, it was because images of Genesis from the pool yesterday kept flashing in his mind. She was the last thing he thought of before he went to sleep last night, and the first thing on his mind when he woke up this morning. Perhaps, it was because she looked... different in that two-piece swimsuit yesterday, he could not deny that much. Her scrubs really did well to hide her figure and when he saw her in her swimwear yesterday, he was more than shocked. He was glad that he did well to feign nonchalance the whole time. Even while he was playing with his son, he had found himself stealing glances at her. It was a very strange feeling but he was sure it was not an attraction. She just looked really pretty at the time and anyone would stare, that was what he was trying to make himself believe. Today, he had to call Luke for

30. Pry

DANTEHe was typing away on his laptop when the chime of his phone made his hands pause midair. He picked up the phone and a frown crossed his face, it was an unknown number. On a normal day, he would have ignored it, but given the current situation he was facing, he thought it wise to answer the call.“Hello?” He said after answering the call and pressing the phone against his ear.“What did you do to him?”His frown deepened, both because of the owner of that voice and the stupid question she was asking him.“Gloria, I do not have the time for your nonsense.” He let her know. “What are you even talking about now?”“Oh please, don't play dumb with me. Spare me that crap.” He could picture her flicking her wrist as she said that. “I know that you know about him and you have done something to him.”“Who are you talking about?” Dante was now more frustrated. Who the hell was she talking about?“Dante, stop playing with me and tell me what you did to Lorenzo.” Gloria's voice was sharp, b
