Callixta Pov
Weeks had passed, and my trainings are getting harder,, especially in combat. I’m also focusing on controlling my emotions, which according to Dan can be detrimental to me. I also need to change the way I look at other people. Before, I used to see goodness in other people, but not all goodness prevails in their hearts. That others are exploitative, like Tita Medly and Tito Arc. Yes! I call them tito and tita now, besides they aren't my real parents. And about my wish to Grayson about getting their money, I still have no news. Maybe that Blast was just fooling me, and he really had no intention of fulfilling my request. I heaved a deep sigh. It seems like lately I’ve been so innocent and barely able to hold a gun, unlike now that I’m accustomed to using any weapons. They also taught me how to make explosive bombs. How to hack computers, and what they called &ldq
Callixta POVThe car stopped in a luxurious building that you wouldn’t consider a bar. It has 3 floors. Awesome music can be heard from afar.Before I could open the car to get out, Greyson had already opened it. He stretched his arm to reach the car door with his hand.“Thank you”, I said while adjusting my dress.“Stick to our plan”, he reminded. I just nodded in response. I got out of the car and took a deep breath.“You can do this, Callista!” I cheer myself up.I walked to the back of the bar to enter the staff room. This is also where the staffs pass and work in this bar. We had a
Blast POV“Fuck it! Come inside! Save Callixta, no matter what happens! Save everyone in our group! Tell Dan to send back up immediately” I shouted at them. I took the machine gun in the back of the car and entered the bar. I can't contain my anger anymore and fire my gun on the second floor. People ran and shouted. I can't explain the adrenaline rush that joined me. All I know is I need to save Callixta. I took the stairs because I knew there were many men waiting in the elevator.“Marcus, get back up. Call Dan immediately!” I said on them. Two of my men followed behind me. I shoot the men in the stairs one by one. There are some of my men shooting enemies in the building. I also saw a few lying on the floor.“Marcus, can you hear me? Are they still fucking in the penthouse?!? I asked
Callixta PovI went outof the room to drink water in the kitchen. I found Maria while preparing food for lunch. It was noon before I left the room.“Hi, Maria.” I wave, walking to the refrigerator to get water.“Hello Ma'am, how are you?” she asked with worry.“I'm fine, I felt a little off, but I can manage it.” I sparingly smiled at her before pouring water into the glass and gulping it down.“What are you cooking, maybe I can help”, I asked curiously placing back the water. The smell is delicious and appetizing. My stomach rumbled because of it. We both laughed while in front of what she was cooking.
Nica appeared in my room again holding a bunch of dresses. She never gave up encouraging me to come and wear a piece of silk. It was a black sleeveless midthigh dress. I chose this dress even though she keeps insisting of the other revealing dresses she has. In the end, I won by using Stewart's name. I tried Greyson's, but she only persistently made me wear it. So, I tried another way to convince her, ending up that she has a crush on Stewart.“Do you think I'm overdressed?” I asked thrice this evening.“No, of course not!” shaking her head. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. I can see a different woman dressed like a seducer. She's gorgeous wearing a black dress fitting her curves. The dress has a slit in the lining, revealing her long thigh. The upper part of the dress is a sleeveless that has a low cut in its neck. Her breasts
“Cheers!” Nica shouted as she raised the glass. I also raised my wine glass and shouted as well. I felt dizzy, but I'm not drunk yet. Of course, not yet. I also found out Greyson’s ex’s name is Angel. Wow, see? From face to name, she's perfect. We have nothing against her.“Nics that's enough. You're drunk, you and Callixta. You both need to go home already.” Stewart said with concern. He didn't drink after we came here. He just watched us as if we were going to do something bad.“Let's drink, babe”, Nica stood up but suddenly sat down as well. Stewart immediately comes to her side to back her up. But alcohol has already hit her. She wiped his hands, attempting to hold her for support.“I can still stand, Stewart. You can eat someone's face here. Go, shoo!”
After what happened that night, Greyson and I avoid each other. I've never been touched nor kissed like that. After the make out session in the car, he left me inside. Our body betrays us when we feel the heat. I also don't know what happened to Nica and Stewart that night. We left them in the bar eating each other faces, giving them privacy and a chance to confess to each other. I also came back from training and practicing. I felt myself useless after the failure of my first mission. I walked to kitchen to get whatever I can eat, or I'll talk to Maria. If I ever have money and power in such groups, I’ll use it to find my real family, as well as to drag down Belle’s company.“A penny for your thoughts?” Maria interrupted me.“Hi, Maria. What are you going to cook for today?” I asked her, feeling excited about her cooking ski
At exactly eleven in the evening, I started to climb the tree with dangling leaves to the garden of the house. I clung to the tree and slowly climbed into its branches. My breathing is unstable, my heart thumps faster than normal.“I can do this. I did these hundreds of times.” I whispered to myself. Yeah, this is my secret passage, but I've also fallen and broken a few times because of it. While walking, I looked at the beautiful thing, the light is still on, meaning they are still awake. I move my right foot tracing the branch of the tree, but it's not here. It was late when I realized they had already cut it. I jumped down, and I felt myself falling in the flowers."Fuck”, I cursed while holding my butt as it collapsed. I scratched my head full of leaves and plants,, so I picked them up one by one and removed them. I heard a small chuckle i
A minute before I got in the car, the alarm of the whole house suddenly sounded. A van came out of the house and shot at our car."Fuck”, the driver cursed. He maneuvered it and made it run. The Scorpions in the black van that serves as our back-up was now rushing back home to meet those chasing us. I heard multiple gunshots and an explosion. Our car was already out of the villa, so the sounds of gunshots gradually died down. I sighed in relief, knowing that we survived, and I could go home alive. I turned to the car to see if anything had followed, but our backs seemed to have fixed it. After a while, the van of elite Scorpions tailed us.“Clear.” I heard the man in the van informed Marcus.I laid my head in the car seat, removing my mask and bonnet. Finally, I can sleep now. I fell asleep in the
