MasukTaylor’s cheeks were already reddened because of the numerous slaps I had given her face. I am full of anger and disappointment right now, and all I want right now is to hurt her. I widened my eyes at her, warning her to take back all the revelations that she had said, but she was firmly facing me, making me slowly realize that she is indeed serious about her claims.No. This isn’t true. My dad would never cheat on my mom! My dad loved my mom very much, to the point that he could not do such a thing!“Yes,” she said in a strained voice. “I know that it is unbelievable. You have the right to hate me. Hell, I would be gladly punished for what I did.”“Why would my dad have an affair with a low-class woman like you? He would never,” I still defended.She sighed, her shoulders slumping. “I understand that you won’t comprehend my confession, but it is true, Minerva,” she still insisted. “I loved your dad very much that I didn’t mind stooping so low to be his mistress and a secret lover.”I
Just like Timothy and Glaidel planned, the assassins moved out from the previous headquarters. I became silent and serious in the next few days. I didn’t come back to the mansion at all because my cousin thinks it’s very dangerous for me now. So I focused on both training and working… again… in private… without my physical presence outside, just like what I experienced in Spain.This time, I am experiencing this new mission without Karlo. Without him, my world feels lifeless and dull.“The casino is almost finished. All of the investors from China are coming tomorrow to finally open it. Helen and Karlo will both be there to toast the victorious building,” Timothy said to me as I watched the photographs he handed me.I coldly stared at the pictures. Helen and Karlo are always together, but never alone. It is either that he is with her parents or attending a party they just met at intentionally. They are at the center of the media, and some are questioning his relationship with the Sant
There was a dagger against my neck. I could feel its point at the bottom edge of my ear. It was the main reason I suddenly woke up from my deep sleep. The first thing I saw was the familiar pair of brown eyes of Karlo. “You shout, and you die,” he threatened me coldly, the dagger tightening in his grip.“Karlo…” I called softly. “Please…”I sat on the bed, but the dagger was still on my neck. My room was only illuminated by the lampshade from the side table. The main lights were turned off; that’s why I couldn’t see him clearly. But his stance, his strained voice, and his scent were too familiar, and I will never forget all about him.“Why are you doing this?” I asked. “Why were you with Helen tonight on her birthday? And what were you doing with her when you were in a hotel?”“Too many questions might get you killed,” he answered, and inhaled sharply. “But I will tell you one thing. That wherever you go, I will always find you. You can’t escape my vengeance, Minerva. That’s what I p
I ducked out of instinct. The bullets rained down, and I could hear them hitting the ground. It didn’t take a while for someone to pull me out of there. When I opened my eyes, the familiar assassins from the headquarters emerged and fought Helen’s men. I widened my eyes and regarded the one pulling my arm. It was Taylor!“Let me go! I want to fight!” I demanded.Taylor pushed me to the bush. She looked down at me, glaring darkly. She was currently wearing combat clothes. There were daggers on her shorts and a gun in her hand. Her hair was in a braid. She didn’t wear full glam makeup, except for red lipstick on her lips. “How will you fight when you are like a pup dodging bullets?!” she exclaimed. “Stay there!” Before I could even respond, she already turned her back on me and charged towards the combat. I even saw Samantha knocking down three people at once. The other assassins even defeated the men who were attempting to kill them. All of the enemies had no weapons, making me concl
I couldn’t believe my eyes as I watched Karlo Rodriguez slowly walk towards Helen. He was in a dark red tuxedo. His hair was gelled, and even from a bit far away, he looked so good to smell. Some ladies whispered, fantasizing about him. I heard men praising him in secrecy. Helen, her parents, and Ian were smiling at him while they were clapping their hands.My knees were wobbling from weakness. I don’t know why he is here. Why is he at the birthday of Victor’s killer? Why didn’t he tell me about this? Why are they smiling at him?“Oh, my god…” I murmured.“Miss Minerva,” Glaidel called and caught me when I almost fell. “I feel like throwing up.”“Please don’t.”When Karlo managed to go near Helen, Helen initiated a kiss on his cheek. Ian sneered at him. They looked at each other. Karlo even shook hands with her parents. I am very confused right now about why he is here!“Mr. Rodriguez is my business partner to build the prestigious casino in the city. He invested billions of money ju
Our car was parked among those luxurious cars outside the gate of Palma’s mansion. I wore my white feathered mask, refusing to reveal my identity to anyone I could recognize. Glaidel also did the same, but hers was a black one. Thankfully, there were also guests who were wearing stylish masks that covered half of their faces, so we just did our thing.Most of the guests when we came inside that I observed were from wealthy families. Some were politicians, businessmen, and celebrities. In short, they were all influential. If they know that the Santiago heiress, which is me, is here, I cannot imagine the flock I would be getting.“Be always vigilant, Miss Minerva,” Glaidel whispered in my ear as we were heading towards the entrance doors. “We don’t know if there are assassins from Helen’s organization that are surrounding us.”“Okay,” I whispered. “But tail behind me subtly. We don’t want to alert any enemies around.”She nodded. I lifted my forehead and straightened my back elegantly,
For a moment, I could not move as I watched Helen smirking devilishly and clicking the trigger. My life flashed before my eyes and my dead parents went through my mind. I just snapped back into reality when I felt warm hands wrapping around my body as the firing of bullets filled my ears. When I s
I did not even realize that there was media surrounding the entrance of the hotel. Their cameras blinded me, so I shrunk my eyes just so I could see clearly. The guards tried stopping them, but they kept capturing us, especially the other guests in front of us. “Mr. Rodriguez! Please let us have
“Dress up tonight. We are going to a party,” Karlos suddenly said in the middle of our silent dinner.“What?” I said and lifted my face after staring at my plate for a long time. “Party where?”“At Mr. Montero’s engagement party,” he said while casually forking the steak on his plate and chewing it
“I want to file a divorce.”Karlo Rodriguez had always warned me to never go inside his study whenever he is working. But now, I am standing in front of him, his table only barricading between us. He was filled with paperworks and currently manipulating his laptop.Despite the words that spewed out
