Since a month ago, I started to call Alpha his name since we're more familiar with each other and it seems like he doesn't mind me calling him that. I heard Jacob calling my name as I turn around to face him. He asks me to go and follow him as I stand up and go upstairs with him. At that time in the living room, Trevor and Jaxson shouted so loud that Neva goes to his mother mode again, while Lucas and Eddie act like they didn't hear anything other than the TV. Neva nagged them for being noisy and disturbing.

As we reach the corridor, it was quieter. Jacob looks nervous and anxious as he asks me a question "I know you had your mom but other than her, do you have any relatives? Like you dad or brother?"

I was confused as to why he had to ask when he already did a background check on me "Why? What makes you interested in my family?" I frown as I continued my question, "Didn't you do a background check on me already? You know my current mother is my stepmother right?"

Jacob nod and confirm to me that he already did a background check and know about my situation but then he said that there wasn't a lot in my profile before the orphanage and so he couldn't look into me any further.

"And under who's order should I tell you? Why must I spill my family affair to a stranger?" I spill my words cockily without thinking as I didn't even know where I get the nerve to speak like that. probably since he was so similar to my brother.

But my cocky response wasn't well-received by Jacob since he is the boss around here. He is used to everyone following his order without needing him to repeat himself. "Don't test me, Liliana. Under who's order? Mine. Now speak before something bad happen. I'm not a patient person." He glared at me and fold his hand as he looked down on me and the height difference makes it worse.

But even so, I hate being threatened so I raised my voice unconsciously "Are you threatening me?! We've been alongside each other for more or less two months now and you're threatening me?! WOW Jacob! Wow!" I said in exaggeration while raising my hand in the air.

Jacob sigh as he tries to calm down seeing how he is not going to go anywhere with pushing this kind of approach. "Gosh! You're so damn annoying. Ok, I'll lend you a deal hmm? I'll let you call your mom if you answer my question. good enough?"

Hearing that I smile and felt as if I had won so I nod my head. On the other hand, he groans as he asks me to tell him about my family. Since there was a deal, I adjust how I stand and started talking.

"I don't have parents, they died so my current mom is a stepmom. she adopted me when I was 10 and it has been me and her for these 7 years. My family was murdered when I was 5 and until now I don't know who is the killer. I was trying to find it with help from the police but there was no avail. It's as if the culprit disappears into another universe. But I couldn't give up so I've been trying and researching on my own. So far, I haven't got anything other than the fact that it's connected to someone in the underworld. The gangster and mafia world."

Remembering those days makes my eyes sting as tears start to dwell in there and my heart throbs as if it's pricked with thousands of needles. Jacob tap my shoulder and tells me his condolences as he asks if I had siblings so I said "My brother, He was the only reason I'm alive today. Him and our childhood friend, Dexter. "

Jacob's face scrunches as he asks me what happen to my brother and my childhood friend. He also asks for my brother's name. I was quite suspicious as to why he seems so troubled hearing that I had a brother but I brush it away and answer his question, "My brother was gone since at that time he wasn't home. He was at his friend's house while Dexter visit me to play together. Dexter died along with my parents as he help me get away from the killer. My brother is called Jacob, the same as yours just with a different last name. He is Jacob Grey."

I put on a bitter smile as I spoke his name but then I wipe my excess tears and smile back asking for my reward, "Ok. I've told you everything. Now can I call my mom?". He nods and told me to go to Val and use his phone so I smile brightly and say "Thanks Jacob... it would be nice if I knew your full name though because for sure Jacob is not your only name. Hahaha". Then, I hurriedly go and find Val to get my wish. It's been months since I've waited for this.

I go back to the living room and they were still bickering with Neva, giving up on them. I go to Lucas and ask him where is Val,"Hey Luc, do you know where Val is?"

Lucas looks at me and told me he was in his room. Hearing that I slap myself mentally as I was just near there. " Damn! I just pass by that place." Lucas laugh at my clumsiness and mocked me "Did Eddie contaminate you? since when are you this clumsy. Hahahaha. "I smack his arm jokingly and thank him. Then I go back up to look for Val's room.

Seeing from Jacob perspective,

Upon hearing that I was beyond shocked and was just standing there shocked that my long-lost sister turns out to be the one I kidnaped. I felt guilt surges through my veins as I remember how I didn't even bother looking for her. I thought she died and I gave up just like that, I should have put more effort into searching for her after all it was my fault for not being there. I was the cause that this mess happens. If just I didn't act like that, maybe they would leave us alone.

I squatted down as I remember how it happen. I was still an 8 years old boy who is full of ego and pride. I and my friends are playing mafia roleplay at the park after watching 'The Last Runaway' movie. We then bump into a group of guys not knowing that they are gangsters. We got into a bad vocal argument and throw insults at each other. Not long after, I go back to a house that's filled with blood and dead bodies. It was then that I make Grey Howl into a real organization.

After reminiscing, I fill myself with determination to protect what I lost. My sister is here, I finally found her. This time, I'll protect her even if I have to die. But she didn't know me yet, No, it's not time yet. I know I should tell her soon but I'm not ready. And I can't have people knowing my weakness now. I don't know when but probably when everything is settled. It's better to let her know when she is out of any potential threats. I vow to keep her safe as I was relieved that she has been doing well these few years while I'm gone.

  • Grey's Rose   Caged

    I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t

    I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo

  • Grey's Rose   Heartfelt

    I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let

    I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c

    As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup

    The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
