Astrella Honey’s Point of View

I remained at the safehouse for hours after Dax departed for the operation in Taguig.

The safehouse was unusually quiet. Even with the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional footstep outside my door, everything seemed... off. Not moving, Like the air itself was holding its breath.

I’d been pacing in circles for God knows how long, the patterned floor rug beneath my bare feet already starting to curl at the edges from my restlessness. My thoughts had become jumbled and hard to understand completely. Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones.

Ciejill hadn’t cracked a joke in two hours. That alone was a sign the world was either ending or she'd finally taken her meds, but judging by the distant look on her face, it was neither. She sat on the couch, one leg swinging, eyes fixed on the door like she was waiting for something to burst through it.

I folded my arms. “Okay, spill it. Why do

    Daxs Donomie's point of view The safehouse in Makati was quiet, too quiet. That kind of silence before the storm. I could feel it crawling under my skin like a warning.I was halfway through black coffee, it's bitter, just how I like it. I ran into Keyu in the hallway, his phone still pressed to his ear and his expression carved in steel.“We got movement,” he said without preamble. “ Well, in Taguig. Our guy’s been tailing someone connected to Jasper. You’ll want to hear this.”I stood straigth, the ache in my spine from the flight cracking back into place. “On foot?”Keyu nodded, snapping the phone shut. “Yeah. One of Jasper’s lieutenants has been in and out of a warehouse in Tipas. They move light, like they’re prepping a relocation. Looks like they’re cleaning up before something big.”I exhaled sharply. “Or someone’s about to vanish.”“Exactly.”We moved down to the operations room, a converted basem

    Dax Donomie's Point of View The golden heat and wasted sunlight that characterized Bahrain was a blur. When the jet finally touched down, it was barely audible, but the tension that was building up inside was anything but quiet. Astrella hadn’t let go of my hand for most of the descent, even if she pretended it was just for balance. Right. And I was just a regular businessman who was flying with five people who were completely insane. We were given three hours to refuel, stretch, and pretend that we were not flying into a country where our adversaries might be waiting with bullets and betrayal while we were in the air. The first person to vanish was Keyu, who was currently communicating with a foreign contact. Norio followed, and he pulled Yael around to make him appear less suspicious. This meant that he had to get some drinks and check out anyone who breathed in too close. Ciejill... was taking selfies with a falcon she’d

    Astrella's point of view “Hello, Astrella. We need to talk.” My eyes squinted as the two figures stepped fully into the light. It was Yael and Norio. What the actual hell? After I had woken up under the influence of drugs and was only partially convinced that I was going to be sold off in some shady black market, I did not anticipate seeing these particular individuals. Despite the fact that my heart was still pounding in my chest, it was now mingling with a mixture of confusion and the perfect amount of rage. To add insult to injury, Ciejill was evidently hiding in the corner. The insane witch who had the audacity to inject me as if we were playing nurse-patient in a deranged asylum when she did it. She waved at me with a smile, as if we were friends getting together for brunch rather than her kidnapping me. “Oh, look, Sleeping Beauty’s up,” she chirped. “How’s the nap, love?” She asked once more, as if she had not asked the question earlier. “You. Traitor. Drugged. Me!” I sp

    Dax Donomie’s Point of View"What the hell? So you really had a twist in you, ha?" Yael whistled low, a smug smirk curling on his lips as he leaned back against the table.I didn’t answer. Just kept staring at the screen where the SUV, the decoy, was nearing the airport.Yael nudged Keyu. “He planned all that just to get her out without a scratch. Man's officially whipped.”Keyu burst out laughing. “Bro, you’re not even trying to hide it anymore. You seriously pulled an Italian Job, fake escape edition, just to keep her safe?”“Well, at least he's creative,” Norio chimed in, arms crossed but eyes twinkling with amusement. “We should support him. I mean, he's drowning deep, might as well throw him a lifeboat, yeah?”“Drowning?” Yael scoffed. “He jumped into the ocean with a blindfold and called it love.”They all cracked up, and I rolled my eyes, but a faint smile tugged at the edge of my mouth. Bastards. Loyal ones.

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 65: Auction again

    Astrella’s Point of ViewDamn. Dax Donomie is officially the stupidest man I’ve ever met, and trust me, I’ve known a lot of stupid men. I was ready. Ready to stay, ready to fight, ready to risk everything for him. And then this. He does it again. Just like five years ago. He lets me go.What is this, a sequel to my heartbreak?I slammed the car door shut so hard the driver probably flinched. Good. He should feel my wrath too. And there it was, like a final slap in the face, a plane ticket laid out neatly on the backseat, like I was being gifted a vacation instead of being kicked out of someone’s life."'You have no reason to stay here with me'," I mocked bitterly under my breath. "'A tool'? Really, Dax? A fvcking tool? I ought to break that smug jaw of yours with the same wrench you're trying to throw at my heart."The car rolled forward, and I glared at the city through the window like it owed me an explanation. My fists clench
