TWO WEEKS LATER Erika's POVEveryone is gathered in the dining room and silence is like a deadly knife that can stab you if you speak, they are not making any sounds and it made me feel uncomfortable. I have no right asking them nor opening a conversation and their terrifying aura is enough to scare me. Mr. Martinez is already here, and he's eating breakfast with us but not just only him because his son and step-daughter also second wife is here. Great. They're present. I still thought I would have peace because they weren't there, but that was just my imagination. They came home yesterday and when I found out, I felt like I needed to be vigilant because at any time they could kill me.Wait, why am I nervous? Grayson, Nicholas and Asher were there to ensure my safety. Right! I must believe in them because as long as they live I am safe. But what if they have important work to do?Alas! Looks like I need to pray every day!"Your wife seems to be thinking deeply, Grayson?" I woke up
Grayson's POV"What? You're kidding me right?" Asher exclaimed when I told what happened yesterday. "Do you wanna die?"He raised his hands in surrender, "Chill man!""I thought you're not going, Grayson?" Nicholas muttered. "I thought too, Nicholas. But Erika agreed without knowing if I approved it or not, she made a decision without me.""You should punished her," he recommended. "Woah! Relax! Punishment was not a good option," Asher's word confused me."What the f*ck happening to you?" I mumble. "Maybe Erika has explanation? She wouldn't disobey your rules neither you if not," he shrugged. I remember what Erika told me yesterday, she told me my brother start suspecting about me and her. It's none of my freaking business anyway, Gerald always suspect because he wanted to get rid of me. That jerk! "So, you're going?" Nicholas inquired. I leaned to my chair and shut my eyes, "I don't know. She's giving me problems and already regret my choice.""You should not, Gray. You came
@PARTYErika's POVHere we are, standing in front of the enormous mansion in front of us and couldn't stop myself from swallowing. That house is way more bigger than Grayson's, and if you didn't saw any mansion before like me. You can mistaken this to a palace because it looks like one, and be shamed putting your shoes in that place. "Stop action weird," Grayson spoke beside me, and doesn't noticed his presence because we ride a different car. Yes, we ride a different car and still avoiding me although I am living on the same roof. Maybe this is the punishment he's talking about, and this is uncomfortable. I mean, Gray distancing himself from me and couldn't blame him since it's all my freaking fault. "I forgot to warn you. My grandma wasn't friendly like dad. She'll asked you too many uncomfortable questions, and I want you to deal with her alone.""What?" I glance at him nervously, "I thought you have my back?""Yes, I said that. But I didn't say while your in punishment. Just th
Erika's POV My anxiousness almost gave me a heart attack and thank God his grandmother didn't threatened me, she even made me shut up for a moment after getting that reactions from her. I'm expecting differently because Grayson told me his grandma wasn't friendly, but it turns out she is. And now? I am facing this numberless people in front of me, and I am getting anxious once again! "Attention ladies and gentlemen!" Grandma announced to stop the party, and caught their attention. "I'm elated to have you here in my birthday, also my family who never forget my special day. I am already 78 years old and sooner or later, fate gonna take me. However, I have a very special guest tonight."She glance at me with a smile and I responded. "You see, my grandson grew up in my side. I taught him to be responsible at the very young age, and open his eyes to the reality. However, fate has so many plans for us and I'm happy because finally we've meet after fifteen years.""Aww," the crowds react
Grayson's POVWhere the f*ck are they? I roamed the whole living room and this place is crowded. They should be here not having fun, that's why I told them to come with not us but they seemed having fun. My eyes spotted Asher in the corner, having sweet talked with five women and it made me shook my head. I approached him and doesn't seem to notice my presence because if this women. "Oh, whose this handsome guy..." The woman wearing red dress muttered, causing to catch Asher's attention. "Grayson! Hey, man! Where have you been?" He muttered."What the hell are you doing?" I inquired. "Chilling. This babes need some company," he answered. "Are you f*cking kidding me right now, Asher?"Asher remove his hands to the two women's waist, before whispering. Then, they left one by one before facing me."You're here to observed them not to have fun. Didn't I told you that, Asher?""Relax, Grayson. I'm doing my job," he replied. "Really? Then how can you explain what I just saw?" "Look,
Erika's POVI leaned on my seat while watching his grandmother after trying to roam the whole mansion, and saw her talking to her guests. I'm still glad thought because nothing happen to her, but Grayson still nowhere to be found and I'm start getting worried. His friends are nowhere to be found also. I don't know how long should I need to stay here since they seemed busy. "Wine, miss?" The waiter offered me a glass of wine. I took it, "Thank you."And then I drank all the wine because this party frustrated me very much. However, I have no right to complain about this situation since Grayson already warned me, and have to obey him with all my might. Just hoping he's safe and I don't have to deal with his family's matter, especially since they doesn't have any plan giving me peace. "Erika? Why are you alone?" Nicholas's voice shocked me. What the heck? What is he doing here? I thought he's with Grayson. "I should be the one asking you that, Nicholas. You should be with Grayson, ri
Grayson's POVThis place is familiar, this is where Erika was taken by the people whose definitely stupid. However, I'm expecting my older brother to here not them and unfortunately nobody's in here. As if they wanted to surprised me and I love every surprised, including killing. "Come on out. I'm not playing with you," I calmly muttered. One by one those cockroaches came out with smirkes on their faces. But I remained calm. "You are making me laugh, Grayson. I didn't know you held to my bait? It made me feel elated for a reason!" Gray said to me. "Really? Then congratulations because you deceive me."They laughed and it annoys me very much. "All I need is to send your wife a text and I didn't know you hold on that? Well, it seems my plans work and this is my payback time."His dogs released their guns and it made me chuckled. No one can scare me, even my own brother or father. "What's so funny? Can't wait to be killed, Grayson?""No, Gary. It's just that you looked like stupid.
Grayson's POVMy men and I exchanging bullets with our enemies. Gary's face describe me the frustration because he's losing. I am gleefully because Nicholas and Asher never changed, they still impressed me when it comes battling. Ash proves me the seriously lurking behind his womanizer personality, he even showed me the concern when he paused Nicho from making a move.At this stake, Gary is hiding behind his dogs and slowly all of his men disappearing one by one until the one last man who keep himself alive although he got shot so many time by Nicholas. We stop from shooting and waited until Gary showed himself to us, but he doesn't seem have a plan on showing himself. That's why I decided to created a speech just for him."It's over, Gary. Show yourself to us maybe I'll spare you.""Who are you trying to fool? Me? Not a chance, Gray!" That answer disappoint me because I'm expecting him to make this things easy."I'm making this easy for you. My brother paid you and my conclusions mak
