“Mateo, I am so sorry. Benji – uh – he – I,” Piper’s apprehensive voice was the first thing Faith heard when she woke up, following Mateo’s detached, “It is fine. You should go and see how he is doing now. It is still raining. I am here with Faith,” He added. Faith was fully awake, but she didn’t open her eyes. She was feeling immensely guilty and embarrassed for the troubles she has been making for Mateo and Piper. She remembers everything that she did. Her stomach twist into knots as she realized she could have died. She was so easily ready to give up on her life, if it wasn’t for Mateo – her lifeless body would have been floating in the pool by now. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought. “Mateo, again, I am so sorry. I should not have brought him here with me, I am sorry.” The more Piper apologize, the more remorseful Faith feels. She heard Mateo sighing, “It is fine, Piper. You should go now. I will talk to you later,” He said, leaving no room for Piper to argue. Faith was
Foxy And Her Guardian 21: Tipsy Infatuation
“Why is there a bar in every place you go? You have one in your office. I am sure you must have one at your house as well. Also, every time I see you, you have a drink in your hand.” Faith commented as she look through the small collection of alcohol behind the bar. Her finger traced along the marble counter. She heaved a sigh and turned around to look at Mateo, who still stood by the door, but unlike before the door was closed now. “Not to forget you own a club. Are you sure you don’t have a drinking problem?” She asked – tilting her head. Mateo couldn't understand how she is the same woman who was trembling under his gun just a couple of hours ago, and now she stood in his room – uninvited – lecturing him about her perspective on his drinking problem. “Are you Captain Jack Sparrow of the mafia world?” She mocked him. Mateo has never used the words mafia when he talked about Aldo or himself, but Faith picked on him. She knows what organized criminals are usually called. If Mateo does
Foxy And Her Guardian 22: The Enemies And The Allies
“There is a dead body in the alley,” Ethan spoke astonishingly. Levi glanced at him as he gets in the car with a bag of frozen peas in his hand. He heaved a sigh and closed the car’s door behind him. Levi nodded his head, “Yes, don’t worry about it. My men will get rid of it,” He told Ethan before passing him the bag of frozen peas, “Here, put it on your cheek. It will help with the swelling.” He asked Ethan, who didn’t move. Ethan’s eyes were still widened. The glass of his spectacles was cracked from the side. Even when Levi helped him whip the blood off his face, there was still a trace of pink on Ethan’s pale skin. He was still shaken. It wasn’t easy for him to come out of the shock of his life. There was a man there to kill him, and he saw his brain spew out of his head after Levi shot him in the head and now his body lies in the dumpster in the alley behind his sister’s café. Nothing made sense to him. Levi pinched the bridge of his nose, “This is going to be a long night,” He
Foxy And Her Guardian 23: Nora
Faith couldn’t stop thinking about what Mateo said after he, Piper, and Benji left for the city. She sat by the pool alone. “Because history suggests they cannot be trusted,” Faith repeated Mateo’s words as she pulled her eyebrows together and tilt her head.Her head has been wrapped around so many reservations. To begin with, if Mateo also believes that the Ricci family cannot be trusted, then does this gives Faith a reason to not trust his words either? After all, he is Mateo Ricci. Although, he doesn’t use his family name. That made her think, did he change his last name because he doesn’t want to be associated with his family?She wondered what happened in the past that forbids the Ricci clan to lead the alliance? If they betrayed the Bianchi clan, then why are they still a part of the alliance? She pondered on how Mateo feels about belonging to the subordinated clan, and how the people of the Bianchi clan see him? She wondered if the person that was in love with Zeta also belonge

“Benji has his dentist appointment this week, so we will not be able to make it. He already misses the place, and if I am being honest, so do I.” Piper said to Faith over the phone. It has been four days since Mateo and Piper left for the city, after Mateo called her two days ago – she didn’t hear from him again, but Piper did reach her. Faith saved her and his number on her new phone. She and Piper have been talking over the phone for the past two days. It felt nice to Faith to have someone to talk to. Piper apologized for not reaching out to her earlier since she was busy with work and Benji, and it made Faith feel guilty. Since she came into these people’s lives, she only increased the burden on them. Faith smiled as she had her phone pressed to her ear, “I miss you guys too. I didn’t get much time to bond with Benji. Maybe we will get to spend someone more time together when you two visit next,” Faith replied. Piper chuckled half-heartedly from the other end, “Oh, how much I wi
Foxy And Her Guardian 25: The Storm After The Peace
“Kami, can you take me to the beach today?” Faith asked Kami as they stroll through the narrow streets of the village market. Faith came here to explore the small market, as well as, to purchase a few essentials. She has a beige tote ag on her shoulder with a few items she purchased, such as some handmade soaps. She was also lucky enough to find some scented candles that a young villager makes at her home. She also bought a wooden comb that an old man was selling, she didn’t need it – but she just wanted to help out the man. Faith also purchased a few things for Kami and his family as well. She learned a bit about the boy as they talked when they walked around. Kami is the eldest child. He has a younger sister, Lora, who is fifteen, and a younger brother, Dio, who is ten. His mother works in the tea fields, and his father passed away eight years ago. He dreams to study in the city and be successful so he could ring his family to the city as well. Like Kami, Lora can too speak and und
Foxy And Her Guardian 26: Traitor
Faith’s ears were ringing. Her vision was getting blurry. Her eyes fixed on the jeep she and Kami were supposed to take back to the resort. Its windshield had blood splattered all over it. The driver’s head was against the steering. Faith didn’t need anyone to tell her that he was dead. They killed him to get to her. They killed an innocent man just to get to her. She slowly blinked as she looked at Kami, who was trying to pull her away, but it felt like her feet were buried in the sand. She couldn’t move them.She was tightly holding on to Mateo’s arm. He was still shooting at the targets, but now he was not standing alone. Several men circled them – they all were shooting towards the targets. “Faith, what are you doing? MOVE!” Mateo yelled at her. She only tightened her grip around his bulgy arm. Mateo glanced at her over his shoulder. He could see the panic and shock in her tear-filled eyes. “Sister Faith, please.” She heard Kami’s cry. She turned around to look at Kami, who had t
Foxy And Her Guardian 27: The Hostility In The Air
Even when Mateo asked the driver to take them to the resort, Faith insisted on going to the hospital first. Mateo repeatedly opposed it. “Mateo, this might get infected if not taken care of. Can you please, stop being so stubborn and listen to me for once? I am already mentally drained, please don’t add to my problems.” She said to him. Mateo heaved a sigh. He realized that she is not going to let this go, so he dropped it and let Faith ask the driver to take them to the hospital. The village has two small hospitals. The Bianchi and Ricci families built both. Before these two families intervene in the matters of this island, there was not one operating hospital, school, or pharmacy for the villagers. These families came in and built the essentials for them.The hospital wasn’t crowded when they reached. The driver was also operating as Mateo’s bodyguard and he was by his side along with Faith. Mateo didn’t have to wait for his turn, he was taken into the room where his wound was take
