Chapter: Chapter 17- I just wanted to make sure you’re okay“Doc Martinez?!” I couldn’t believe I saw him here. I mean, it’s so random that we met in a place like this, and in this situation. So embarrassing!He smiled faintly at me and gestured for me to step back. Then he immediately turned his attention to Frank, who now seemed hesitant.“Is there a problem, Sirs?” asked the guard who approached us.“No,” he smiled at the guard and shook his head. “We’re actually fine, right?” said Doc Martinez, now looking at Frank—waiting for his agreement. And surprisingly, he agreed. He was forced to nod at the guard. But as I carefully watched Doc Martinez subtly pat the punk on the back, I understood everything.Well, he should be scared.Even so, the guard still looked doubtful. But eventually, he left. He left us there and returned to his post at the glass door of the coffee shop, but he didn’t take his eyes off us. He was still watching us.Frank violently broke free, followed by a series of curses. Doc Martinez subtly approached him and whispered,

Chapter: Chapter 16-“I need your help”“I heard what happened to you the other day,” Yzack broke the silence. We were in the middle of a drive; he was driving me home. “You shouldn’t stay out too late. As far as I know, your work ends at eight in the evening, not twelve midnight.”I subtly smiled. He wasn’t looking at me when he said that. His expression was as if he didn’t care. But I don’t know why I felt his concern despite his demeanor.“Why aren’t you talking? Didn’t you hear what I said?”“I heard,” I said. “I just felt your concern for me, even though you treat me differently,” I added.“Tss. As if I care,” he said. “I’m just thinking about Beatrice. What if something happened to you? Who would take care of the child?”I sighed, raising my hands as if surrendering. “Okay, I’ll try my best to go home early. Sometimes Beatrice doesn’t want me to leave.” I smirked. “The child seems too attached to me.”“There’s a headquarters for you at home. Didn’t Blue mention it?” he asked.“He did. It’s just that, I need to go home

Chapter: Chapter 15: Don't ever call me 'Boss'"Let her mother know," Blue said to me, still holding my hand. He wasn't looking at me; his gaze was fixed on Shamcey and Aunt Rabiya.I turned my attention back to my aunt and cousin. I couldn't hold back any longer. Aunt Rabiya's voice was getting louder, and they were attracting attention in the police station. Thankfully, there weren't many people at the precinct now, probably because it was late. I pulled away from his grasp and approached Aunt Rabiya. I took her arm. "Aunt," I interrupted. "Let's just talk about this at home, Aunt," I pleaded, my eyes begging her.Thankfully, I was able to get Aunt Rabiya to comply. When Aunt Rabiya's temper flares, she doesn't listen to those around her. Worse, she even argues with those who try to stop her. Maybe it's because she knows what I'm going through right now. She fell silent, and I stood beside her, stroking her back to calm her down somewhat."I'll have my bodyguards take you home. To ensure your safe return," Blue offered.Aunt Rab

Chapter: Chapter 14: Danger"Heidi? W-What are you doing here?" Shamcey asked in disbelief when she saw me outside her workplace. Her face was full of surprise as she approached me. She looked around as if searching for someone before facing me."Why? Were you expecting someone to pick you up besides me?" I asked. I stood up from where I was sitting beside the fountain."Uh—No—""I sent Frank home," I cut her.I saw her glare when she heard what I said. "Why did you do that?!"As my eyebrows furrowed, I let out a bitter laugh. "I thought no one was picking you up? Why are you reacting like that?"I saw her gasp sharply as she looked around nervously. I think she was hoping to see her boyfriend nearby. Well, when we met earlier at the exact spot where I'm sitting now, I told him that Shamcey had to go home with me because her mother was starting to suspect something. Well, I just made that up. But it was the only way to get him to leave my cousin, even if it was just for tonight."You know what, you're annoying,"

Chapter: Chapter 13: When we arrived at their mansion, Boss Blue immediately helped me carry the things while he carried Beatrice, who was still fast asleep, to her room. Boss said that it was the first time he saw Beatrice sleeping on someone else's lap. Well, was she that comfortable with me?I spent a few minutes watching Beatrice sleep. I don't know why, but I couldn't stop staring at her angelic face. It felt like my heart was overflowing with joy just looking at her. I snapped back to reality when someone touched my shoulder. It was Boss Blue. He motioned for me to leave, which I immediately did. After I left, he closed the door gently.He invited me to the kitchen. We sat at the dining table. Then he slid a folder across the table and placed it in front of me. “These are Beatrice’s info and preferences. I put everything here so you won't have a hard time deciding what to cook when I'm not around or if I'm abroad. It also lists her likes and dislikes, her favorite colors, toys, and everything,”

Chapter: Chapter 12: HospitalI was taken aback by Beatrice's last statement. I didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed. Boss Blue and I locked eyes, and I quickly averted my gaze. I swallowed hard. Beatrice's words created an awkwardness between us. Or… I don't know if he felt it too. Or maybe it's just me experiencing these vibes because of what happened between me and Boss Blue. Boss Blue almost shook his head and closed his eyes when Beatrice cried. No matter what he said or did, he couldn't calm her down. Yzack, who was standing in the corner, sighed in frustration.“Uhm… Beatrice,” I interjected their conversation. I held her small hands to face her. “Your Dad is right, what you're asking for isn't that easy. But we'll figure it out, mmkay?” I said.I saw Beatrice smile at me when I said that. I also smiled realizing how easy it was to calm her tantrums. Well, I haven't really experienced her tantrums yet. But I feel like she's easy to take care of. She's very understanding and a very kind child. It'

Chapter: Chapter 87That specific moment, I want the ground to just eat me alive… The stain on the shirt of Bullet is the fluid that he released inside me. He used it to wipe every drip on my core. That is what he usually does whenever we are done with our intimate moments. Right now, Shane was staring at it as if it was the most disgusting thing on Earth right now. That time, all I did was swallow hard, wishing that Jill and Shane would never guess it accurately. But I was so wrong… Because my jaw dropped when all of a sudden, Jill suddenly spoke, “it looks like a man genital's fluid tho.” I widened my eyes and I could not create a single move. I was trying hard to act normal but I think I can’t. I wanted to look like I didn't care. That I am never affected by what I am hearing from Jill. But how can I effin do that when Bullet and I just did it early this morning, just a few minutes before they bombarge us here in our condo unit?! “Have the both of you made love?” Jill is squinting her eyes at me an

Chapter: Chapter 86This is what I really hate about Jill. She knows better than anyone else. It’s like she already memorized the manner how I behave whenever there was something wrong. Just like right now. She noticed that I now seemed to be on good terms with Bullet. No one noticed it, even Jack and Shane. Only her. I bet Jill is going to be a perfect fit for an investigator job more specifically those personnel who interrogate criminals. “That’s all?” Jill asked more and I wish for all the heavens above for her to just stop interrogating me because I am not a criminal. I am her friend… best first for the most! “Yes,” I laughed and I do wish it won’t sound like a nervous laugh, “what else could it be?” Jill only nodded her head slowly while she was staring at me as she was still suspecting something. I just avoided her eye contact and then I went back to what I was doing a while ago before she pestered me with bullets of questions. But I was in the middle of finishing my tasks when all of a sudden,

Chapter: Chapter 85“You really like asian food, Cassie, huh?” Jack said as he noticed that between the four of us, I was the only one who eats Asian food. “That is her favorite,” Jill said while munching, “I am suspecting she is an Asian in her past life because she always chooses Asian food over anything else on the table.” I laughed, “I also think, yes.” They all laughed and then they started to chit chat again until I smelled a familiar cologne of a man. When I diverted my eyes to the man who was standing beside, it was Bullet’s handsome face that I saw. Right now, he was in his usual stoic face. Gone is the golden retriever energy that he always exposed to me whenever I am with him in the condo unit of the both of us. “Oh, here you are. The master chef slash the co-owner!” Jack beamed and then he gestured to one of the waiters to prepare Bullet some food for which the waiter quickly obliged. Bullet sat in the opposite direction that Jack was sitting. It was on each end of the table. But the thi

Chapter: Chapter 84It was a few years ago when I started to interview some employees under our company. That time, I made sure I will not hire just because of experience. I will hire because of potential and personality. I firmly believe that skills and knowledge can be taught. But if an employee has potential and personality to learn, I think that is the real win when hiring someone to work for you. This is the main reason why I hired my assistant, Mabel. Back then, she was a fresh graduate from college. When I interviewed her, she was so enthusiastic to learn from me. That’s the keypoint why I hired her. I need someone who has the energy to be paved by me. I need someone who is willing to learn everything about my experiences when it comes to my job. And I am so glad that when I hired Mabel and she started to work for me, she was really true to her words. She wants to learn from me and she is grabbing all of the chances whenever I teach her something. Just like right now. Mabel helped so much witho

Chapter: Chapter 83Right after James told the waitress his order, he came back and talked with me. He opened up a lot of topics that I found amusing. These topics were the ones that made me more attracted to talking with him. As I said previously, he was just so good with how he opened up a lot of topics and how he discussed it. It never failed to pique my attention and my curiosity. But a few moments passed by and the waitress gave us our orders. It was then that I knew James also ordered blueberry cheesecake for the both of us. “So, what are you going to say again? I am really curious, Cassie,” James said before he sipped on his coffee. There, I started to clear my throat then I stared at him with an intention that will make him feel that I am sincere with what I am about to say. That I will be saying this not with an intention to hurt him but to be genuine to what I just wanted. “Okay…” I started and then I heaved a deep sigh, “you already know how grateful I am to you for the case that you are h

Chapter: Chapter 82 “Hey, stop…” I protested to Bullet as I gently pushed his body away from me. I was really conscious! I am afraid my bad breath is either going to kill him or it will kill me because of embarrassment! I just don’t know how to react accurately! All I wanted was for him to just stay away from me because my consciousness is really killing me right now but it seemed never a big deal for him because he just kissed me more after. “It is okay, I like it more when you have no toothbrush in the morning,” Bullet chuckled with his baritone voice. But I widened my eyes the moment I saw how his crotch was standing right now. I swallowed hard because it was so long right now just like last night. “Come on. Bullet, please give me a break…” I winced at him because I still feel how he ruined me so gloriously last night within my core. With that, he just laughed at me and then he let me just sit at the dining table where all of the food that he cooked were already sitting. At the dining table, there
