Clover’s POV

Life goes on, as it always does. I almost forgot the threat to my life outside this island. I think I’m getting way too comfortable here.

I have buried the night at the docks so far down that even I somehow convinced myself everything was fine. Yet one way or another, I have to face it.

“Did you tame that crow?” Cuatro asks while eyeing the creature on my lap.

“Not quite,” I say while feeding the bird with seeds from my palm. “I think it only hangs around me because of food, kind of like you.”

Cuatro laughs and grabs the yogurt parfait I made beside me. “Hm, you’re not wrong.”

We were sitting on the veranda overlooking the sea. He said that today is his day off but judging by how he is always lurking around, I don’t think he works as much as others.

At least I have a buddy to save me from boredom.

I faced him, “Say… can I ask you something?”

“Shoot,” he replies in between a spoonful.

“The night I tried escaping, some gang people appeared trying to kill me… I think, or t

  • Bullet to the Heart   Chapter 21

    Clover’s POVI’ve been spending more time in the laboratory these days and it’s been the closest I got to living my dreams—as long as I don’t think about how I got here.“Dos! This is abuse! What did I do to you?!” Cuatro exclaims as he is dramatically sprawled on the medical table, his good arm flailing as if he’d just been sentenced to execution. “I am still too young to die!”I squint my eyes at him, offended, as I fix my surgical gloves. “You do realize I once saved Uno from death itself, right? This is nothing compared to that.”Siete snorted, hands crossed over his chest across the room. “Don’t be a baby, if Boss survived, then you should be fine, lab rat.”His teasing just set off Cuatro more. “Laugh it up, jerk. I’m warning you ! If you so much as chuckle when I—”“Stop whining,” I cut in, reaching for the suture thread. “Just let me do my job, or I might accidentally stitch your arm to the table and let you grow into it.”Cuatro glared at me. “You wouldn’t dare.”I smirked, t

  • Bullet to the Heart   Chapter 20

    Uno’s POVI gathered my crew in the tech room. Rows of dissected weapons line the metal tables, blue cores exposed as I’ve been studying the residual energy of the tech we’ve stolen. It’s not easy to take it apart and not trigger an explosion.While we have been making progress in establishing Nero in the underworld, this is still a reminder that I’m far from the top of the chain.I don’t want us to just be a mafia with petty crimes and illegal operations, I want to dismantle and overthrow a lineage of empire that’s ruled unchecked for decades. Dos talks while tapping projections on the holo-screen. “Energy output is ninety percent stabilized. We can replicate their pulse rifles within a month if we get more cores.”“You think we can surpass it?” I asked without looking up.“I’m working on that,” he replies.I drag a fingertip along the spine of a dismantled rifle. Clean cut, foreign alloy, a signature that her bloodline built their legacy on. The same bloodline she has no idea about

  • Bullet to the Heart   Chapter 19

    Clover’s POVLife as a maid for a mafia group is not that bad. I make the best out of it.They mostly keep to themselves. I still think they’re very mysterious, I don’t know a lot about these guys. Still, I try to look at things positively. I’m alive and breathing. Then I realized that the island is actually beautiful if I wasn’t being locked inside.Also, I’m living in a mansion for free, not minding any rent in this economy. It’s the little things to be thankful for, I guess as I mow the front lawn.“Alright, everyone, don’t swoop in and get caught in the blades, okay?” I say as a murder of crows encircle around me. “I’ll feed you in a bit, no need to follow me all the time.”The crows are nicer too. Maybe it’s because I’ve been feeding them. Lately, food seems to work on everyone here. I wonder if I would’ve been a better chef than a doctor.“Are you Uno’s spies?” I ask the crows jokingly and put the mower aside, crouching and grabbing the seeds from my pocket.“Don’t all swarm at

  • Bullet to the Heart   Chapter 18

    Clover’s POVNever in my wildest dreams did I think I’ll be returning as the mafia boss’s willing hostage.Or more like an actual promotion to slightly-less-of-a-hostage. I’d like to believe that this is a relationship of mutual benefit just so I won’t regret my abrupt decision. But truly, I have learned enough lessons lately to know that Uno only agreed to keep me for a personal reason, a different purpose than simply being a “maid.”Whether I’m safer here or not, I don’t really have other options.For now, he’s my best choice.He did save my life. Besides, I don't plan on leaving again anytime soon if there’s a target on my back. I was not cut out for this life. Not long ago I was simply a girl whose only enemy is a nagging landlord over a crappy place for a house but now I’m out here discovering ninety-nine creative ways to die.I sucked in a deep breath and refused to remember how trickling blood feels on my skin. I will have another breakdown if I do and this is hardly the enviro

  • Bullet to the Heart   Chapter 17

    Uno's POV No one escapes my watch—and by no one, I meant not even a naive girl who thinks she’s cunning enough to run away from my grasp. It doesn’t take much of a genius. One thing I know is the moment a desperate prey acts tame and stops squirming, that is when you should watch them more. Naturally, when her crazy antics lessened, I suspected she’s planning something else. Perhaps I should give her credit. It wasn’t a bad plan this time. She just underestimated me. I stare at the trunk of the car where I know she slipped in. She’s been moving under the radar lately. Her gardening stint? I realized she was mapping the place. Then she memorized the schedule of my men who were preparing the cargo. I also notice her cozying up to Cuatro, the one who has a loose mouth in my crew. She wanted information to escape. And I let her. At least, to give her a lesson. “We’re even now,” I say and observe her terrified expression. She has never looked more of a prey than now, shivering in fe
