Erika's POV"Where are we going?! Let me go!" I'm trying all my might to escape him, but he's too strong for me. Gerald push down the floor violently and slap me. I wasn't expecting that action from him, especially I done nothing wrong. I did what he told me to do, he even use me as his shield which isn't part of what we discussed. "Grayson came to me defenseless, which is my one and only shot to kill him. But you deceive me!" He's mad and couldn't restrain his anger. "I had nothing to do with his plan!" I answered."Stupid liar! How dare you lying to me, huh?!""I am not, Gerald! You got what you wanted! Gray's here and you should face him rather than hiding!" I muttered. He slap me again, but this time it's harder than the first one. Causing me to face to face the floor and felt the blood into my lips, but I tried to recover as soon as possible just to stared at him. "What did he tell you on the phone?" He questioned to me."Nothing! You broke my f*cking phone, remember?"He gr
THREE DAYS LATER Asher's POVYo! I'm currently heading to the hospital where my friend and Erika was. Grayson and I are friends, so it's normal for me to call him my friend. Although I never heard me calling me one because for him I'm not a friend but an employee. It's not that he don't treat me as friend, but he want to be professional. *Ting*I went outside when the elevator reach the second floor and started to search for that room, where I forgot the room's number. Where is was again? My phone ring, so I answered it, "Yo! What is up?"[Grayson's out and he wanted you to replace him.]"What? I thought he's in charge of taking care with Erika? Out of nowhere he left without telling me?"[Have you forgot? He never tell anyone his changed of plans, especially since he wanted to deal it all by himself.]"The what? Don't tell me he's changing job now?"[Don't know but it might be. Where are you?]"Well, he's lucky because I'm already here and don't have a choice but to take care of h
@GERALD'S ABANDON MANSIONGrayson's POVThis place is a huge mess. The walls has hole and it because of the bullets that go beyond of my enemy, but this seem to be completely abandon after they clean the bodies and remove the traces of proofs.I must say the mafia court did a great job to clean our mess, but I must expect their invitation one of these days. My eyes landed on the stair, I didn't get a damn whatever trap waiting for me upstairs. He probably left a bomb that will suddenly explode the moment I step into that floor.What bad things could happen? I went upstairs and scanned the hallway, this is the floor when I heard Erika crying in pain. It seem not touch by any of the cleaners who got here, maybe I was just surprised to see this floor is still neat. Or we didn't get into this section to destroy this very familiar paintings. I guessed he spend more time on bidding precious things. "His body was left here to rotten," I said to myself after remembering that Gerald's body wa
Third person's POVA black mercedes park outside the small house and the owner of that car went out while the backseat door opened, and Patricia went out. She's worried after hearing that Gerald was shot, and can't stop herself from crying. "Wipe your tears and stop crying. It's not worth it since no one's dead," the mysterious man muttered to her. "Who are you? Why did you brought me here?" She asked while keep crying. The man already losing his patience, and hand her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Shortly after, that man head to the small house and it's located to the place where no one knew it exist. He open the door and was greeted by the doctor in house, his doctor who takes care of the young man. "He survive, sir. We just need to wait until he fully recover and woke up," the doctor murmured. "Well done, Doc. I didn't waste my trust on you. We take it from here and you can take a rest," he said. He nodded before approaching the one room inside that small house, and then
Nicholas's POV"Count on me like one, two, three I'll be there~" I'm losing my patience already, and his not so good singing made me annoy. Why do I have to stay with this guy while doing this job? Perhaps, Grayson did this intentionally because he knew we're not good. Asher still consider me as threat and don't trusted me anymore. That's why he intentionally partnered me to Asher, to fix whatever misunderstanding we have. This isn't a good time though, but I consider it as good timing. "That's what friends do~" he keep singing. "Can you please shut up? We've been standing here for over an hour, and you still not moving.""You can go ahead inside if you can't wait. I am not rushing though," he answered. I took out the cigarette on his mouth and throw it away, "We are on this trip together, Asher. You're uncomfortable with my presence, I understand it. I can also feel that you don't wanna work with me in this matter, but do we have a choice?""We have choice, Nicholas. You were j
Grayson's POV"I'm here. Why do you wanna see me?" I questioned after being silent for over an hour and just staring at her. I can't stay here any longer, she's not talking to so there's no reason for me to stay here. "If you have nothing to say, I'm outta here.""Are you really like this?" At last, she speak up. "Like this what?" I inquired. But she just chuckled and remained staring outside the window, which made me confused what's really wrong to her."I'm giving you a voice to speak up, but you wanna stay shut and make the time flew faster.""We made this together, Gray. But you're treating me differently after losing your child, you suppose to stay in my side. Not dealing unimportant things to avoid me!" She looked around and her sharpest gaze made me understand her pain. However, I am completely immune to pain. "So your demanding my attention? Is that what're you trying to imply, Erika?"She scoffed, "Your colder than an ice, and this isn't you when you lead my way into thi
Patricia's POVI never been here before not even once, that's why this isn't Gerald's property which is confusing for me. The mysterious man who help him, he definitely the owner of this small house located at nowhere. I am grateful he told me Gerald's conditions, but still cannot believe Grayson done it to him. What is happening to them? After Grayson stop showing up to his mansion and totally abandon me, I knew he's after Erika. He may kick her or show no mercy on her the day she was kick out of the mansion, I also knew Gray won't let her go easily. Especially since he started being that man who caught my attention. So far, Grayson still coming house but sleeping on the different bed. He's avoiding me and I can feel it because whenever I'm trying to approach him, he's pretending to call someone or walking away before I could able to talked to him. "You should take a rest and visit your mother. She is worried to you, Patricia," that familiar voice, I'm sure it's him. I turned a
Robert's POV"Do you still remember? We use to here all day and waited until your mom fetch you," Fred muttered.I chuckled, "Yeah, I can still remember.""Time flew faster and can't believe we are already getting old, everyday is our death because it made us feel our role is about to end..."Frederick and I are friends, he's my best friend but everything change when I fell in love to the woman he adore the most. However, I'm grateful we ended up friends after all those struggles we face. Maybe we are meant to see again, and forgive each other.The fresh air coming from the lake is comforting. I never thought this beautiful land still glowing even though we're getting out of the calendar soon. "You made a good role to raise my son, Robert. He become a man I wanted to be and letting him be on your side is the right choice I ever made," he said. "That's the least I can do to pay my sins, Fred. We are friends, but I destroy our friendship. She's the only woman who show me the life isn'
