LOGINAlyssa gave a nod, taking off her shoes, and dropping her bag. "How was the meeting with your grandparents?" Harrison asked, before they could reach their destination. "They were pretty chill about it." She smiled in response, and then she paused. The voice she heard was familiar, and the colour drained from her face instantly. "Mom?" The words escaped from Alyssa's lip, as she came face to face with the person before her. It was her foster mother. Mrs. Rodriguez stared at her without an iota of remorse, like she would do what she did, without thinking once again. "So you are the one snooping around." Mrs Rodriguez asked. Alyssa ignored the question, "Does father know this is what you are doing?" She clenched her fists. "You tried to kill me with assassins! For God's sake, Mum, what the heck are you even hiding?" She snapped, still staying close to Harrison. Jang and Cang stood behind the woman who had been tied up. There was no way she could anything right now, s
"Grandma. Grandpapa." Alyssa stared into the eyes of the two people who had made significant impact in more than half of her life.They looked up at her, a smile on their face."You can tell us anything, Alyssa." "Are you okay?""Is it your husband?"Her grandmother had already sat up, ready to address what was going on with her.And this was what Alyssa loved about them.The way they never played with her life, and the way they were always serious about things that went on with her.It was what she loved, and it was what pushed her to do things everything she planned to do."I don't know how you'd take this." Alyssa smiled, looking away awkwardly."Are you pregnant—"Alyssa raised her hands instantly, "No. Nana, please let me finish. Stop bringing out ideas."Her nana looked at her, while she gathered herself."Mum and Dad are not my real parents." Alyssa finally said, refusing to raise her head.In the silence, you could hear the drop of a pin.She didn't have any expectations to w
CHAPTER 106Harrison walked into the home and gave the young child a rub on his head.“I hope you enjoyed your stay.” He smiled at the boy.“I did! Uncle Alfred took me to places and I was so happy. But we also worked on homeworks which I didn't like, even though it was quite easy.” Harry said, and continued his rambling as he clinged on to his mom.Alyssa smiled as she listened to his words.They must have really enjoyed it.The scene made her think of the number of times she had spent in her grandmother's arms.Dread filled her. She would have to break the news sooner or later. But with what had just happened, would it be easy for her to walk freely?“Have you eaten?” Alyssa smiled at Harry and the boy nodded.“I haven't. But when I'm eating. I'd love for you to eat with me, as we haven't done that in a while. Would your stomach be able to handle it?” Alyssa asked him, with a small grin.Harry nodded fervently. He had hoped for moments like this.Alfred's company didn't make him fe
The best way to track a snake was by going through thick bushes, and in the world of coding, the thicker the codes, the harder it was to get through it.Alyssa knew this and that was what she was prepared for.“Just give me a few minutes, Harrison. And then I'd find the man.” She turned to her husband, and realised how close his face was to her lips.The urge to give him a kiss arose but she shut it down to focus on her work."You can kiss me if it helps you work faster." Harrison spoke, the muscles in his jaw moved with every word.A blush appeared on Alyssa's face and without wasting time, she moved closer and planted a peck on his face."Thank you." Harrison said, giving her a boyish grin.Soon enough, the screams behind them vanished and Harrison turned back.The man had fainted.He watched as Jang opened up a bottle of water, and emptied it on the man's face.With a gasp, the man opened his mouth, as if he was begging for air.“You were saying.” Jang stepped forward, his foot was
CHAPTER 104Fear filled the hearts of the masked men. No one told them that they would be facing these kinds of enemies, and it looked like all their preparations were going to be in vain. Hearing the swift sound of the sniper shit, relief appeared on Harrison’s face, and he glanced at Alyssa. They would be safe, and he was glad.Gunshots reverberated from outside the SUV, and a motorbike crashed into one the cars of the masked men. Jang was swift, moving like a monster on the field. Bloodthirst filled his eyes, as he rushed to the men in front of him, not minding the attacks that were coming.This time, he could rely on his brother. “Mr. Harrison.” Cang said, as he opened the man’s door. He had a cool tone, because he knew that his brother could deal with the rest of all those men. Harrison looked up, “Thank you Cang.” Alyssa also looked up, and she recognized the man in front of her. Cang looked at her for a brief moment, before turning away. There was no need for a greeting a
Bang! Bang! Bang!The armoured vehicle shuddered on the impact, and the heavy gunshots made sounds that filled the air.Alyssa trembled against Harrison's arm, tightly closing her eyes, as the sounds nearly busted her eardrums.She wanted to call his name, but she could only keep quiet, due to the loud gunshots. Although the car windows were bulletproof, when it came to heavy caliber bullets, it was basically nothing.Spiderweb cracks spread across the glass windows of the car. The first bullet slammed into the windshield with a deafening crack.It went on for a long time, and the SUV shook with force as it protected the both of them. "Damn it, they are using high caliber bullets." Harrison cursed, hoping nothing would happen to the woman under his arms. Alyssa covered her ears, her heart pounding violently."Harrison..."He hugged her tighter, wanting to shut off the sounds, "I'm here." The next moment, there was silence, and without wasting, Harrison rose back up, instantly sta
