I woke up with the feeling of being sore. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. "Good afternoon," a husky voice spoke beside me as I've been caged with his well-toned arms. Realization hits me that hard. “Fuck!” I cursed as I quickly got up. I winced at the slight pain in my private part. Fortunately, I'm dressed properly again. "I'm dead," I said coldly and moved quickly to check my phone. Oh god! I don't want to get shot too early. "Stop panicking," Jairon said as he remained lying down. I looked at him. "Don't talk to me. I swear, Jairon. I'll bomb you right here, right now,” I warned coldly and checked my phone. He didn't speak anymore; I scanned my phone and knotted my brows when I didn't see any missed calls from Aycxe. I went into my inbox, then my mouth dropped when I saw a conversation in it. I blinked a few times while re-reading the thread. Aycxe Where are you? Me I’m sorry, I can’t go there. Something urgent happened. Just send me the details and I’ll check it o
“Fuck!” I cursed silently as I fisted my hands with anger when Matthew Laqueza showed the picture of the man I hated the most.A week has passed since we all met. We are currently discussing information about the enemy to better prepare our moves."Farro Roque is in charge of the weapons and women they sell on the black market," he said while looking at him seriously. "He's living here in Manila," he added.My forehead knotted at what he just said. I couldn't avoid looking at him badly because of my overflowing emotions."In my years of watching him, I have never seen him staying here in Manila," I said seriously.He smirked and put his finger on the table. "Because you look only what your eyes can see, you didn't look deeper," he said with a smile.Could that be?"Yes, he is living underground," he clarified, then pressed the next slide.He continued to introduce the other group, but my mind was still flying with the man he showed earlier—Farro Roque—the man who brought nightmares to
I got in the car and started it right away. I ran it fast after tightly closing my eyes and taking a big breath.When I passed a familiar location a short while later, I likewise gradually slowed down the car. I pulled over to the side of the road and shut off my car.I foolishly cast my gaze across the neighborhood park where our home was located. I smiled sourly and exited the car.I deliberately opted to ignore the cold breeze as I continued to stroll into the playground swing. I cautiously stood up and took another glance around the area."What's up, sis?" I murmured weakly then slowly moved the swing with my body. I did that silently for the past few minutes until I felt a familiar presence approach me. He silently sat on the swing next to me, and then I felt him staring at me. I didn't look at him; instead, I looked up at the sky full of stars at that time."It was already five years ago..." I whispered into the void."Five years since Quenevere died because of my negligence,"
"That's the reason why you're chasing them."I came back to reality when Jairon spoke next to me. I smiled bitterly and stopped the swing movement.“I found out that a syndicate kidnapped and tortured Quenevere. From that day on, I started studying different weapons until I became an expert at making bombs. I isolated myself from my family because I knew they wouldn't be happy with what I was doing. Besides that, I couldn't last in a place that always reminded me of my sister," I promised at length.He didn't say a word. Silence remained between the two of us while we watched the peaceful sky."You need to see a psychologist," he said, and he carefully looked at me as if he were afraid that I would suddenly be offended.I smiled slightly and looked at the twinkling star. "I want to stay here... even if it hurts... even if it's difficult. I want to stay in this nightmare because it is my source of strength to fight,” I whispered in the void. "People are not fair. I have to use the ange
Everyone was busy setting up the shoot when I reached the area. "What is that for?" I raised my eyebrows when I saw a red bed. My blood was already boiling. "Those will be used as props for the shoot," said Dad's secretary. She jumped out of her place when I glared at her. "Come again?" I saw her gulped and tried hard to speak. "I-it's for the shoot, Ma'am. because the theme of today's pictorial is b-bedscene." There was fear and hesitation in her voice.Her confirmation made my head even hotter. I shut my eyes tight and calmed myself.I feel like bombs are going to explode at any moment. I'm even more mad because I don't know what the anger and annoyance I'm feeling now are for.Maybe not. I let out a few breaths and got ready, just in time for Jairon to come out of the dressing room.Our eyes met until he slowly lowered his eyes to my clothes. I saw the tension in his jaw as his eyes darkened.That's his look that I love; he's like a bomb that, with just a few flips, will expl
I whistled and sat on my swivel chair after I changed my clothes. I was about to start looking at the papers on my desk when the door suddenly opened.I swallowed as my heart beat faster while looking at Jairon's serious face. "W-what are you doing here?" I tried to strengthen my voice.His jaw tightened, then he slowly went inside. "Well, someone just ruined the shoot; that's why I am here," he stated coldly, and then I heard the door locked."Why did you lock the door?" I'm nervously curious.He smirked, then walked forward toward me as he slowly unbuttoned his top. "I already warned you, Quennie," he said."W-What? What did I do?" I asked and swallowed hard when he was on the third button.He raised his left eyebrow at me. "What is it?" he challenged.My throat seemed to block as soon as the whole of her chest was exposed in front of me."I-I'm not doing anything," I lied in the middle as my heart pounded."Hmmm. Guess what I will do? " She licked her bottom lip and slowly removed
It's been two days. For two days, I have been avoiding Jairon and my paths to meet. I always feel like I'm in his condo unit every time I go out, so we don't see each other."What happened to you? You look stressed," Noella commented to me.She is here in my office because we are properly planning the attack that will take place in the next few days.I took a deep breath and leaned back in my seat. I caught my senses and shook my head gently."It work," I replied curtly.Work? Is it a job to be troubled thinking about Jai?"You should take some rest. You don't look good anymore. You can beat the one who hasn't slept in a few days," she promised with a wink.I didn't really sleep."Yeah, maybe I need to rest first." I agree with her."I'm leaving. I will leave this copy of the blueprint with you so you can study where to place the bombs," she said.I just nodded in response and didn't say a word. I took my cellphone when Noella got out and called my brother Gerald."Hello, sister, have
"Is everything okay?" Aycxe was curious on the earpiece.We're about to launch our invasion. We are currently on the structure where our enemies are.This attack has advantages and disadvantages. We may infiltrate more easily than into the land of the opponent since they are all strong together. The only issue is that the life of Sophia's brother is at risk."Move," Aycxe ordered without emotion, and then we acted on our planned tasks.I quickly and carefully went around the building to attach the bombs. Noella, on the other hand, was watching over us and informing us from the earpiece if she saw any enemies, as well as the places we should go. Shiela and Aycxe, on the other hand, fought the enemy's underlings as we made our way in. I couldn't see Matthew; he was probably checking where our friend was.Every floor we pass, I put a bomb. There's no way that I will let this freaking building stand."Bow." I ordered Shiela in front of me, which she immediately did.I quickly fired my gun
