Torn Between Loyalty and Love

"What are you doing here?" I asked. Seeing Elena here left me stunned. Shouldn't she be back in Las Angeles? So why was she here?"Just as I had mentioned, I am here to see Adrian. Where is Adrian?" she questioned, glancing around the whole mansion as she also tried forcing her way in, only for me to stop her, blocking her path. "I never said you could come in," I said."And I never asked for your permission," Elena retorted, entering the mansion. "Adrian!" she yelled, calling Adrian's name."He's not here, and it's best that you aren't either," I said, drawing her attention back to me. "Where is he?" she questioned, but did she expect me to simply tell her?"Is everything alright, mam?" Two of my men asked me as they made their way into the mansion."No, it's not. I need you to nicely lead this stranger outside my mansion," I said to the two men."Stranger?" I heard Elena scoff. "And who do you even think you are? You are the stranger here. You both aren't even married..." she wanted

Hidden Promises

"I'm sorry, son; please, son..." Colt's mom pleaded, calling Colt's attention as he made his way down the stairs."Why, mom? How could you have done such a thing? You know how much I worked to get this job to give us a good life, but now you've requested that I get fired? Why, mom?" he yelled back."What's going on, brother?" Zara questioned. "It's nothing, Zara. Mom said you have to return home; it's getting late already," Colt lied.But I could tell Zara wasn't going to believe him, judging from the atmosphere and Colt's tone and actions."Zara, come with me. Let me show you something," I said to Zara, hoping I could stop her from listening to any of this.Even though I also wanted to utter a word or two, explaining to Colt's mom that I never wanted this either. I hated the fact that many had to get hurt just to protect me, even some of the men hired by Marc. I was sure some of them may have families."Where are we going, Aunt Sierra?" Zara questioned, to which I only offered a smil

Unravelling Secrets of the De Santos

It was the next morning as I woke up, took a bath, and brushed my teeth. I got dressed, wearing one of my favorite dresses, and took the stairs down, only to realize Adrain wasn't around. "You're awake, mam?" Colt questioned, approaching my side. "Did Adrain not return back last night?" I asked Colt. "He did, mam, and just left this morning," Colt informed me. So he had left so early and even came late last night. To think he would be forcing himself to go through such lengths just to find out who the person was... "Alright, Colt, we should be going now; seems I'm already late for the office," I said. Colt gave a nod. Taking the stairs down, I made my way outside the mansion, reaching my car as the driver entered the front seat. Colt and the other men entered the other cars. "Let's go," I said as the driver started the engine. We arrived back at the company, and I made my way in. "Welcome, mam," Clara greeted. I replied with a nod. Entering my office, I sat down,

Bitter Encounters

I found myself still curious about the image I saw of my father and Adrain's with Dr. Bexley. But I had to return to the company now; I couldn't forget the meeting I had organized with the agencies around the evening hours. It was almost time. "I can't delay them if I want them to begin work quickly," I thought, standing up from my bed as I placed the file back into my cupboard, making my way out. I entered the car's back seat, returning to the company.Colt followed me back inside the company, and then I caught sight of Clara attending to some women."Mam, you are back," she said as I gave a nod in response. "Yes, Clara. Have the agencies arrived?" I questioned, hoping so, since my lateness wasn't a good view from my side."Yes, mam. I had them wait in the meeting room," Clara replied, but I should not expect them to come late, as this must be a big deal for their company. Possibly, they may have wanted to show a good start."Alright, Clara," I said, making my way straight to the mee

Crossroads of Fate

[Adrain's POV]It was late at night, and I was driving back to the mansion through the half-lit streets. I must admit I was quite surprised when Elena showed up. Things had gotten good, and somehow, I had found a way to let things slide with what she had done last time, and she also confessed to being on good terms with my relationship to her as friends.Now she was here in Las Vegas. I could remember she claimed to have gotten a job, something that made me happy; at least she had moved on and hoped for happiness.A smile found its way to my lips as I drove on. I pressed onto my brake not long after in a haste when I noticed someone. I could swear it was Elena's father. There was no way I could misplace him. "What is he doing here?" I questioned in my thoughts. "Did he possibly come here after learning Elena was here?"I hoped that wasn't true. Even so, I cared not much about that at the moment since I knew he wouldn't dare to even meet with her in the first place. He owed me his life

Betrayal in the Shadows

"How I wish I could stay back and watch you beg for your life, but I have no time for that. I must make sure to deliver the boss his packages," the stranger said, forcing Elena as he led her away from my sight."I can't let him go..." I thought. I had to put a stop to this, but how could I when I was still unable to get myself out of these men's paths?The men's eyes locked onto mine as they remained in their standing positions, as if they were waiting for me to make the first attack.My hand slyly went for my gun, but still, no acts from the men. If this was just a habit of theirs, then I must correct them that it was wrong.Underestimating me should never have been an option for them.I pulled out my gun, sliding as I bent my head over. The men with pistols drew theirs out, and those with daggers drew theirs.But in a blink, without wasting any further time, I took the trigger, aiming at the men. Pulling the trigger as the men fell to their grave immediately, the bullets pierced thr

Shattered Lies, Broken Vows

I felt a sudden rupture. My whole veins felt like they were going to explode at this moment as I woke up, finding myself tied to a chair.Two men were standing next to me, holding some naked wire as they chuckled."Why so soon? We wanted to enjoy this little moment so much," one of them said."Leave, that's enough," a voice came, silencing the two men's chuckles as they dropped the wire and left the room. I witnessed Elena walking in after, with her father by her side."You?" I spat. "I have been waiting for this day when I get to meet you again. This time, I will make sure I end your story. There won't be an escape for you."Even with my threat, just like before, that old man chuckled slightly as he approached my side and, before I knew it, slammed his fist on my face. "It seems you just don't learn not to boast when you are not in the right position to do so. We have met twice now, but see where you always stand."But that was only because he had always played his tricks, even now,

A Bitter Awakening

I crawled to a bush I found nearby, laying there as my vision blacked out.I woke up finding myself in a hospital with an IV connected to my hand."How did I end up here?" I could only wonder. As I caught sight of a man discussing with the doctor, "I found him laying in the bushes nearby, unconscious with multiple injuries," the man explained.But what was he doing here? He shouldn't have brought me here. I tried standing up, removing the IV connected to my hand. "Argh," I groaned."Wait, what are you doing?" I heard the doctor say as she rushed to me, trying to force me to lay back down on the bed. "You are not yet recovered, and we can't let you leave also without a police report on this," he said, but are they planning to deny not knowing who I was?"The police are not needed. I can take care of myself," I stated. But still, the doctor was persistent in me laying back down, claiming I had to recover fully first."Do you wish for your death, doctor?" were the only words that escaped

A Heavy Heart, A Silent Rain

I sat back down, removing one of the dead men's phones as I dialed up one of my men's numbers, hoping to tell him to come pick me up."Boss, where have you been, boss? I've been trying to reach you since..." he said."Come to The Golden Lounge club, come pick me up," I said to him."Alright, boss. But boss, did you contact Anthony to find someone for you?" I heard the man say, as I wondered how he knew I had contacted Anthony."Who told you that?" I questioned."Anthony called me up, boss, saying he couldn't reach your line. He mentioned already finding the place the girl was buried at. It's here in Las Vegas, at the Eternal Gardens Cemetery," I heard my men say."So her body was here in Las Vegas," I thought."Stop by at Boulder Bridge when coming and bring another new line," I said, hanging up the call.I stood up, smashing the man's phone against the wall as I made my way outside the club. A loud thunder echoed as it rained, with the water splashing on me. Yet I made my way to the

Breaking Truths

[Sierra's POV] I made my way outside the company, entering the car's back seat in a hurry. To think it would rain heavily today."Let's go," I said as the driver drove off, maintaining a slow speed because of the rain's intensity on the car's front window.Colt was in the other car, trailing me as usual. I brought out my phone, hoping to buy some time by scrolling through some stuff, when I found myself recalling this morning's incident with me receiving a call in the office. It was from the same agency, the one I found Elena working for. They had sent an apology letter, resigning from the work. While I was still thinking about whether to give them a chance in the first place, yet I could only wonder what suddenly brought the change. But I was sure it couldn't be anyone else other than her. Possibly she changed her mind, I guess it was better this way. I doubt I would have been able to handle her sight, even though I aimed for revenge on her."We are already here, mam," the driver sa
