Zech threw the phone loudly at the wall after the naughty Maverick called him."Relax, Zech," Cailon butt in, sitting on the couch of his office.He sat in the seat he had been sitting in before the man called, facing Cailon. When his sister Athiya called that she was in the hospital, and a man took Queenie he didn’t expect that to happen. His Mama was furious that she went to the office earlier when she found out what had happened. And his mom even threatened her that if he couldn’t get his fiancée home safely, her mom would tell her dad what he was doing behind him. The secret he kept from his father.Of course, He'll do everything to save her. This was how Maverick wants to pay him. His hands clasped as he took a deep breath and leaned back on the couch.The fake wedding of the two of them with Queenie should be tomorrow, which was according to his plan, and now trouble came. Dad will not give him the position as the company's CEO if he knows what happened and the wedding was postp
I was surprised to open the door, even though I wanted to look behind me, I couldn’t. Who are they? In the heavy footsteps, three men entered the room. I could not understand what they were saying.I looked at the three in front of the corpse, they were talking, and in one’s voice, it was angry as if he was going to do something he didn’t want to do. The three were wearing black leather jackets and jeans, with a red hood on the head, another tied up its long curly hair, and the other had a large tattoo on the face of a tiger. The two were tall and massive. Only one was black African, and two were ItalianThey talked for a few minutes before the black African looked at me and motioned for one to approach me. What will they do? I felt like an innocent child staring at them as the two of them came to me."We will tie you to get you out here, bring you to another place, the boss said," said the man with the tattoo on his face."Just don't do anything. You can't escape us. Just follow what
It was as if I was a rice that had been thrown inside the van again, my head hitting the side of the seat. And Maverick violently closed the door. I stood on the floor, I wanted to touch my forehead that looked like a lump, but my hand was behind me. I will not cry. I can handle this too.I straightened up, and my treacherous tears came out of my eyes. You unfaithful tears, why are you excited to come out? The man operated the vehicle. Where are his companions?I looked back, and just now, I noticed the African on the ground, bloody head. This guy slew the poor man! Pity and anger haunted me. Compassion for the African teenager and anger at the man driving. How could he kill his men? How could he? Doesn’t he think of the families of those he killed? What if he still has children? Waiting for their father to come home, they didn't know he was dead. What if that african’s mother is waiting for her son? Isn’t how painful it is for a mother to lose a child?I looked at the tattoo on the m
I screamed as he shot the driver's head, shattering his head. How could he do that? Is this Kyle?Because of what he did, the steering wheel turned, and we headed into the ravine. Is he planning to kill me?He immediately opened the door, hugged me and jumped. We rolled on the paved road. He was protecting me so I wouldn't hit my head."You are really Duchess. You're so good at saying you're Queenie, Vara," he said as I stood up.I noticed the blood on the side of his head. A bullet grazed him, and I hadn't seen it before.I was about to speak when suddenly a motor came, and a man in a black outfit came down. He removed the black helmet."Zech!" shocked I said."Oh, Zechy! Zechy!" Kyle exclaimed, grinning. Do the two know each other?"What's that Zechy Zechy for, Dominic. It's a good thing Maverick didn't get in the car. It would be best if you had killed him," Zech said seriously, raising my eyebrows even more.Who is Zech, and why does he call Dominic Kyle.Zech took my hand and pul
We strode through the wrought-iron gates of the restaurant; my eyes hovered over the woman in a formal waitress attire, greeted us, and headed us into an attractive formal room; I noticed the family size table having ten chairs for people. My gaze landed on Zech, who stood up from sitting beside his father between the other man at his other side. A broad smile curved his mouth as he approached us, giving me a smacking kiss on my lips and his mom in the cheeks.My heart palpitated; I hope I won't mess things up or, at worst, embarrass myself in front of his relatives. I erase the image of myself being tripped because of my clumsiness or choked of eating or splashed someone accidentally because shit can happen, right? What if—Zech held his arm in my waist as he whispered, feeling the warmth of his breath in my ear, "Don't be nervous, they won't bite you, relax." And he grinned and lightly squeezed his hand on my midsection. He was trying to make me feel better.I swallowed, staring at
Zech sighed. "No, you are being a jerk here; your little sister is waiting for you to introduce her; you left her there."Only now did I notice the evil look Celine threw at her older brother. I think it says, how dare you, brother!"Oh!" Calleo snapped, "Vara, Celine Eris El Devar, our only princess, she's a stingy words person." He whispered to me the last line.Zech’s parents and their parents are busy talking about their lives, not minding us here. He unclasped the hand to me, placing it on a spoon and the other fork."Don't believe what this dumbass is telling you. So," her beautifully curved eyebrows lifted, "Vara, how did this cousin of ours drag you to this wedding? Did he threaten you? Or point a gun at your head and say ``marry me'' or something else?"Zech snorted, including Theo and Calleo."Seriously, princess, why do you think our cousin will be doing that?" Zashin asked eye's widened, like his sister's words were vulgar. This man was so serious."Gah, brother Zash, I can
"We need to talk," he said as he got closer, "Is it okay, Celine, for me to take my fiancee temporarily first?" He turned his gaze to his cousin, who just nodded in response.I stood upon the seat, and I smiled at Celine; I wrapped my right arm in Zech as he leadeth me in the doorway of the room."What's up?" I whispered to him as we walked away. The direction we were headed was to the exit of the restaurant.His face remained serious, and he glanced at me. "The one who kidnapped you got away from his prison." His voice was weak, but it was strong enough for me. My heart skipped; did I hear right?"Really?" I don’t want to believe what he told me because two days ago he told me, assuring me that the man could not escape the prison. The Italian police stated it to me also, but how then does it turn out like this?No answer came from him, so that means the news he told me was true. "How did that happen?" I sneered, clutching his arm tightly, but he did not react."What did you do to him
"You did what?" His eyes narrowed as he stared at me, a sharp look. I am expecting him to shout in pain, in case it was not hard enough.I smiled at him and was about to remove my heels when he noticed what I was doing and took my hand. "I just told you I couldn't say the reason why. Don't you understand that?" There's a strain of anger in his voice."That's not what I want to know; how did Maverick find out?" His two hands clasped my hand, looked at it. Biting the inside of my cheeks to stop the irregular beats of my heart, my cheeks flushed, and I swallowed, hating what I was feeling."Someone got him in prison, killing the police guards who were on guard last night. It's the woman in a black fitted bodysuit and a red mask, the one who knew the real identity of Duchess, Pigeon."Wait ... What! That is what I heard right. Pigeon doesn't wear that kind of dress, yes the red mask, but how did it happen? Someone disguises as Pigeon, most likely, but I don’t know who it might be."Pigeon
