51. Desperate cry

Kyla Eva.It's a narrow footpath, and the people around the corner appear suspicious. Most of them are elderly and peculiar. The thick clouds of smoke enveloped the air, and the stench of alcohol made me feel queasy. I closed my eyes and regulated my breathing as we walked past them.I tightened my grip on Dominic's hand. He held my hand tightly as we walked quietly. The drunken cacophony of the other group almost gave me a heart attack when they all fell silent as we walked past.I cowered in fear, only able to see Dominic's feet as I followed in his footsteps. My worry dissipated when I spotted the exit to the wet market.Now I remember this aisle. It's next to the public toilet, where I saw Kylie the other day.A black car was waiting for us, and Dominic promptly opened the car door. He ushered me inside, sat beside me, and signaled the driver to speed up.I was about to take off my sunglasses, but Dominic stopped me. He slightly shook his head, telling me not to take it off. I gl

52. Worried

Enzo Denver.I'm trying to control my temper because I can feel my body shaking. I want to lash out at Kylie, but there's holding me back. I was right with my instinct last night. I've been thinking of Kyla, and now she seems to be in danger.If I confront Kylie now, I won't get any information from her. I know her. She's as hard as a stone sometimes and won't cooperate."I am tired, hon. I want to take a rest," she expressed as she walked towards the car.I gritted my teeth." Okay. Let's go home," I responded, balling my fist.Dammit. I need to hold my temper. I need to, for Kyla's sake.I drive quietly. My mind is out of nowhere as I'm planning on what to do next. I have to be careful in my next move. I need to get Kyla. But before that, I had to check something at home and then ask Diezel for help.Kylie kept talking. I wasn't listening. We are close to home now."What do you think, hon? Enzo? Are you even listening?" her voice rose."What?" I said coldly, and my grip tightened on

53. To get no matter what

Enzo Denver.I walk tip-toe into the bedroom. I hear the shower running and presume that Kylie is inside having a bath.My brows furrowed as I surveyed the room. I saw Kylie's bag on top of the bed and opened it. There was a phone inside, but this was Kyla's phone and not Kylie's. I know that.I cautiously step into the closet area, my heart pounding in my chest. It's in a different room, just on the other side. I'm utterly perplexed as I scan the items, feeling the pressure of time closing in on me."Thirty seconds, bro. What the hell?" Diezel's snorted in the line.I freeze as my eyes dart around until they land on a plastic bag tucked in the corner. I snatch it up, and my hands tremble as I inspect its contents. My heart skips a beat as I find a cellphone, one that is completely unfamiliar to me. I slowly stepped out and went back to my mother."I got it, Dez," I mumbled, turning it on."Okay, point the camera on it now," he requested.I don't know how Diezel and the other boys ac

55. A friend

Narrator's Point of ViewEarlier episode 8 hours before Kyla boarded the ship..Kyla drifted off to sleep after indulging in the candy Dominic had given her.

56. Help

Enzo Denver.If only my mother hadn’t stopped me, I would probably have strangled her deeply.For a moment, I lost control and forgot everything. My mother knows me well—I’m usually well-behaved, like a saint, and getting angry is not in my nature. However, my temper reached its limit, and I could not control it.MY PACE HARDENED THE MOMENT I STEPPED INTO MORRIS TERRITORY. In this seclusive part of Sorrento, a dungeon is invisible to the top. It’s Morris territory. This is his hidden kingdom.I used to hate Morris because of what he does. But if you come to think of it, most Mondragons are no saints at all. Morris was expelled from the royalty. His family disowned him, but we kept in touch.The stern faces of Morris’s men lined up when I entered his territory. King, Morris’s bag man, beckoned. I just raised my eyebrows and stared at him intently.“Boss!” Bleu greeted me. He is Morris’s right hand. Together, we stepped inside and down into the dark compartment. Few of Morris’s discipl

57. Have mercy

Enzo Denver.As I stepped into the house, my mother was quick to greet me at the entrance. Her face was a mix of relief and worry. Bleu and Sim were with me.Diezel's voice had pierced the silence earlier, his words carrying a sense of urgency. He informed me that the mission on the other side had been successfully executed. He advised me to stay away for now, convinced that they would soon uncover the mastermind behind Kyla's mother's escape."My God, Enzo. What the hell happened to you?" She held my hand, her touch jolting me back to reality. I scoffed in silence, the realization dawning on me that I was covered in blood, a stark testament to the severity of the situation."It's nothing, Mum. Where's Kylie?" I gritted my teeth, my anger simmering beneath the surface."In the bedroom. I locked her in." She looked stressed at me. "Where's Kyla? And what happened? Why are you covered in blood?" she asked again.I looked my mother in the eyes and was about to say something, but I pause

58. Diego

Kyla Eva."Moshi, moshi, ano ne, ano ne, ano ne. Moshi, moshi, ano ne. Ah, so desu-ka!" Diego whirled around. He is dancing and drinking with the staff on board. I shook my head as I looked at them. It's enjoyable to see him with the rest of the crew.For some reason, all the crew members are very hospitable toward us. They're incredibly friendly. I had expected to have a hard time on board, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone, including the captain, was friendly. I am the only woman on board, and they have treated me like royalty here.The Diego who looks like a gangster is now dancing with the rest of the crew. His personality is far from his physical appearance. Diego is easy to be with, funny as a friend, and enthusiastic about everything."Totemo yoi, Diego." One of the Japanese members of the crew said to him. They've just finished dancing."Arigato, arigato. . . ato?" Diego looked at me in confusion. He is waiting for me to tell him what's next to say. He is not good when

59. I will wait

Enzo Denver.The fresh, saltwater air of the port filled my senses as I surveyed the massive, precise area. This port, unlike the other one for public and business use, is exclusively for cargo shipments—a hub for goods exported and imported from the country.I'm with Conrad inside the executive lounge of the Port Arena Tower. Conrad was accommodating, and I'm glad he was still here when I contacted him a few days ago.Conrad and I are not very close. We see each other occasionally at every boys' party. We are in different fields when it comes to business."I've heard your story, Enzo. I thought you were lucky to marry a woman like her. Imagine you married one of the most beautiful faces of Monde Fashion, but you don't know that she's got a twin?" He let a laugh out and shook his head."We're not married, Conrad," I corrected, my voice firm and determined. I gritted my teeth and looked at him, making it clear that this was a matter of great importance to me."Kylie and I were not mar

60. Hoping

Kyla Eva."I can't believe it, Kyla. I felt sorry for you. Don't worry. I will make sure you're safe with me. I will do my best to protect you."I told Diego everything about myself, Kylie, Enzo, and my family. At first, he can't believe it. It's hard to believe that your own blood will betray you and want you dead, but that's my reality. My mother never once became a mother to me. My twin sister only uses me for herown good. I turn blind to everything because I believe they will love me one day. But I was wrong. Their love never came to me."Thank you, Diego. You saved me, and I don't know how to repay you." I looked at him with gladness. I'm happy that he's the person on board with me.He saved me many times and took care of me every time I wasn't feeling good. The sea makes me sick at times, especially during the night. The waves are enormous, like mountains, and looking at them in the dark is scary. But at the same time, I want to face my fears and end up facing them instead of
