"Rose has been by my side since high school till we got into the university. She met me when I started living with the Derricks...""The Derricks?" Stacy asked confused. Jason looked at her and turned to the wheel. "I was adopted when I ran away from the cartel. Back then, Being only fifteen years old, they saw me across the street lying half-dead, took me in and treated me. Mom was a doctor. That was when Crystal came into the picture, she was their only child. She liked me so much as her brother and it made her parents happy. They enrolled me into school and the university. Rose was Crystal's friend. She'd visit the house every day as of then.I thought I was free, living with the Derricks, but I wasn't. Stone was still on me. He had trained me to be an assassin that eliminated any of his enemies. When I ran away, he lost an asset. I tried many ways of deserting from Stone, one of which is to study at a university far from home. Rose also enrolled into the same university as me.Dur
In a swift, I turned to a man beside me and ceased him. It happens to be the head of the gang. He gave his men orders and they halted. Immediately they released Crystal, I shot the man beside her but instead, she came crashing to the floor.Everything happened in a flash. I'm sure, I aimed and shot the man but I can't explain how she got shot in the process. "Did I just shoot my sister?" I have never missed a target, was my hand that shaky? How can I kill my Sister?I ran over and held her. She reached for my face and muttered a "thank you" as blood gushed out of her mouth and stomach."Take care of my company. Promise me and mom... And dad" she coughed out blood and I shook my head in disbelief that my sister was about to die by me "Make sure my co...usins don't get to t...ake the company" With a smile on her face, she averted her gaze to somewhere before shutting her eyes. Her hand hit the floor and it dawned on me that she was dead. The men there ran away at the sound of the poli
Jason released his grip and walked into the sitting room. "Let's be honest with ourselves, here. That's one of our promises." Jason looked at her and felt weak to talk but he had to. He narrated everything about himself to Rose from his childhood in the cartel to when he began to live with his new parents. He didn't leave the part where he was trained to be an assassin and how he killed numerous men in a twinkle of an eye. Rose's heart palpitated. She couldn't believe her ears but instead of letting her fears and doubts overwhelm her. She hugged Jason who expected rejection at the moment. "I'm not proud of you for all the people, you have killed, but I believe that everyone has a past, some are dirtier than this. Thank you for opening up to me." Jason stared at her in disbelief and she chuckled "Why are you staring at me like that? You thought I would run out of the house-" immediately he leaned closer and kissed her passionately. She kissed back, messing with his hair. He broke of
Stacy dressed casually. She had a black huge hoodie over white jeans trousers and a tiny white bag. Her sneakers were black with a touch of silver on its sole. She stood in Infront of the door, her hand on the knob, about to open the door but turned when she heard Jason's voice."We are going with you then" Jason blurted and Stacy's grip loosened on the door knob."We? What does he mean by "we"? It was like he read her thoughts. He walked over to Blaze who was seated at the game stand and pulled her closer to him. The close body contact made Stacy's heart skip and a trench of jealousy flashed on her face. She staggered a bit and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Oh? I didn't expect that" Blaze looked at Jason's mean face. Does he want to go to this length to stay with her? I'm a bit jealous. She pouted her lips and folded her arms. "Go change, I'll be waiting over the couch. Five minutes" Stacy uttered and went over to the couch mumbling. "Why must they be so close?" A sly smile cov
Samuel had arranged his apartment, eagerly waiting for Alya to come. He had pleaded with her to show up by nine pm today. He stomped his feet nervously, checking his watch consecutively and pacing around the room. All he wants this night is to get Stacy's number from Alya. He needs to speak with her... urgently.Immediately, he saw Alya through the window, he took a deep breath, walked up to the door and opened it. Alya had this blank expression on her face which he responded with a fake smile before letting her in and shutting the door. "What do you want to take?" He asked, staring at the quiet Alya."What do you want Samuel? You can't just call me out by this time for nothing?" She crossed her arm below her chest, arching her brow at him."Loosen up, babe. I've missed you. That's my reason." He smiled awkwardly and sat beside her. "Don't you remember all those fun times we had together" he tried to kiss her neck when Alya interrupted him by requesting water. Backing off, he nodde
Matteo sat down on his chair looking quite confused as he remembered all that happened. He could see himself watching Stacy while she observed some couple seated on a chair. She walks out grumpily to his car, the expression on her face was evidence of the anger that burns within her. Matteo stood there and gasped before going back to the place they stood before. It turned out that the couple they had observed was Jason and Blaze, the girl he saw the other day at his house. He walked up to them and greeted them. He observed Blaze's skin with bruises and immediately she covered it up and flashes a smile his way. "I didn't know you guys came""Yeah, we did, but couldn't finish the movie" Blaze replied, smiling awkwardly."Where's Stacy?" Jason's voice came out hoarsely as his eyes ran around the place with no sign of her. He stood up and plonked his brow at Matteo. "She's in my car"On getting to his car, he saw Stacy searching through his files. Jason came closer and opened the door, d
Footsteps could be heard from the extreme side of the garage. Their faces tilted to the sound and they met Jason coming towards them. Samuel stood upright, with narrowed eyes wondering who he was, As he came closer to them, his face became clearer and one of the pictures he saw in Alya's phone, flashed in. "Jason?" He thought still staring at him until he caught up to them. He lowered to Stacy's level and helped her with the papers on the floor. "How long have you been there?" She countered with curiosity all over her. Jason ignored the question and requested for the file to put the papers in. "That's the Samuel." He scoffed and stood up when he was done with arranging the file. "I can't remember telling you anything about him." Stacy mumbled as she slowly rose to her feet, behind Jason. Jason arched his brow at Samuel who stood confused, waiting for him to talk. Samuel tilted his head to where Stacy "Can we talk? Please." Stacy couldn't hold herself again, she walked out with the
Stacy nodded slowly and her gaze lowered to the floor while Jason paced around with his hand across his face. "Why didn't I get that part? It must have been hard for you, seeing her again."Stacy sighed and looked up to the perturbed Jason, releasing a chuckle "Don't worry, she's no longer here. At least, I won't get to see her for a while.""But I still don't understand," Jason muttered and turned to Stacy. "Alya helped me find you when you got lost. Was it because of me or you?" Stacy twirled in her chair, playing with a pen. "It was you, of course. Probably wanted to please you. She likes you." The look Jason gave her, made her laugh contentiously. "What?" Queried Stacy. He shook his head and folded his arm still wondering, while she admired him from afar, smiling at the thought of him. ********************************Blaze dragged her feet to the kitchen. Her eyes were dimmed and her hair messy, regret engulfed her. "Why am I so stupid?" She hit her head consecutively on the wa
