I opened my eyes groggily as I woke up and the beam of sunlight was what met me. I stood up from the bed and noticed that I'm not in the living room anymore."Oh right," I placed my palm on my forehead. "I fell asleep on the couch last night."I immediately stood up and the cold contact on the floor almost made me jolt. I opened the door and what met me was a cold atmosphere. I walked through the hallway until I saw Leo walking up the stairs.He's wearing black sleepwear with tight sleeves that reveal his abs and muscles. It's my first time seeing him in this clothing since I rarely interact with him and he always wears suits. I had no idea he was so buff."Hi, good morning!" I smiled, but I was merely ignored."Dang, never mind." I rolled my eyes and walked to the stairs. "I even offered him my small left good morals."Leo stopped in his tracks and looked at me."Oh right, I think I AM blocking your way, MISTER." I sarcastically said as I exaggerated the words and moved out of his wa
Hours have passed and it's exactly 20:00.I'm inside Regio's limousine with them, on the way to a nightclub. They mentioned it was one of the Takahashi brothers' property, so safety is the least of their problems, but of course, they'll keep an eye out and won't let their guard down.Inside the limousine were Zacharias, Toshiro, Dominic, and the two Takahashi. The interior design of this vehicle is more than luxurious, with purple and red LED lights inside and a long table at the side with wines and beers, basically resembling a bar.And of course, the windows were tinted and all rolled up for some reason.I'm sitting in the middle of Dominic and Lorenzo. I'm quiet the whole time while they are talking about business stuff which I'm quite familiar with since I've been working in Regio as well, and Lorenzo trained me in his office.Talking about working with The Regio in the office, I almost forgot that Mask and the others had been left in the mansion. I honestly felt bad because I'm a
"Are you sure you'll leave Allura with Leo?"Dominic asked Lorenzo as they walked downstairs of the nightclub."It's just a matter of time. I know my brother well." Lorenzo said nonchalantly as they walked while his hands were in his pockets."The hell do you mean?" Dominic asked while they sat on the stool in front of the wine counter."May I have your order, sirs?" The bartender asked."We'll just order one glass of beer." Lorenzo said as he gave his card."Oh! It's you, Sir Lorenzo and Sir Dominic. My apologies, I wasn't focusing much." The bartender bowed frantically."It's fine, don't treat me as your boss, just treat me like a random customer." Lorenzo said, while the bartender nodded and smiled."Thank you so much, sir, for such kindness.""Anyway, about a while ago." Dominic mentioned."Oh, right," Lorenzo said as his hand went inside his pockets. "Wait."Lorenzo took out his phone and opened it, and then showed it to Dominic.Dominic's eyes widen and a wide devilish grin form
All merciless."Did Leo get too far? You're all ruined, darling." Lorenzo said as my chin was on top of his finger as he made me look up, even if my eyes were still covered.Only mumbled words came out of my mouth with uncontrollable sobs and hiccups from my cries."That was a fucking view." Dominic said, with venom laced in his voice."Huh...?" I muttered confusingly."Oh it is?" Leo chuckled."W-What do you mean?" I asked in a panicked tone. I have no idea what camera they are talking about. There are a lot of kinds, but a hidden camera? A CCTV? Even so, my brain is all in shambles from panic."Does it really matter, bothering your mind with all those questions, Allura? Relax." Lorenzo answered. "C'mon, talk." Leo commanded me.I refused to talk, feeling my ego getting crushed by these three men, making me furrow my brows, but I was cut off as I felt someone grab my wrist.I felt a hand lift me and my hands began to get clammy. I felt the person sit on the couch as he placed me on
"Good morning."I heard a voice as I opened my eyes slowly. My exhaustion from last night urges me to flatter it back again, but I felt someone tugging the blanket close to my chin as soon as I woke up."Lorenzo?" I muttered as my gaze cleared up and adjusted to the light.He was sitting beside my lying figure, and he was leaning on the bed's headboard with his other hand behind his head. He was shirtless, and his body tattoo glistened with the sun's rays from the wide window on the penthouse.A pained wince escaped my mouth as I tried to move my body, but all I felt was a stinging pain that shocked through every part of my body."Don't move. " He said as he moved to my side to reach something."Huh?" I blinked as I looked at my body and saw bruises and bandages, there are some large giant cushions, blankets, and pillows around me."You passed out last night." He said as he soothed my back."Oh," my face heats as I grow embarrassed and he noticed it."Why?" Lorenzo chuckled as he kiss
"Allura..." Zacharias whispered as he looked at the person in the photo.Reminiscing memories was enough to make Zacharias tear up after some years. He was a man who barely cared about emotions anymore, sulking on his own, especially when the people around him were gone. He knew very well who he needed and what he had turned to, even he was scared of his capabilities. It was like he couldn't feel the limit and intolerance anymore, it was just pure void.Zacharias was about to drift off, especially as the rain started to fall, yet it took him hours to finally sleep.It was now the middle of the night.Until he heard his phone ring.Ring! Ring!Zacharias sighed as he grabbed his phone, and Lorenzo was calling."Zach-!" Gunshots "We need back- Fuck! " Lorenzo's voice was cut off and jittery. Zacharias heard gunshots and people shouting from the phone call"We've been ambushed!" Lorenzo groaned through the phone.Zacharias widened his eyes in anticipation, and his heart skipped a beat."S
"What the fuck?!"Dominic shouted as he saw the two familiar faces, especially Amanda Fierro.His stepsister.Amanda didn't waste time running to Dominic and kicking him straight in the head, making the man late to react."Dom—!" Leo was about to shout until he was grabbed by Raven from behind.Leo immediately looked back and kicked his hand away causing them both to stumble back, but Raven moved back and regained momentum, running up to Leo, who was also running up to him, and they both kicked each other, desperately trying to lock one other's joints, the two men's fighting style was almost the same.Members from Araoluwa started attacking the building as well and Regio started calling for more backups, hurling each other attacks, and the place was starting to get in chaos."Shit," Toshiro grunted as he slowly stands up from his collapse a while ago due to Raven's kick."This isn't the old times anymore." He gets a gun from one of their men who just came in time. "Pistols and physica
The Regio immediately arrive at their destination, which is their mansion or their main base.The long ride from Roppongi to the mansion was painfully quiet, just like the ride the day before, and they were serious the entire ride, which felt intimidating. They didn't talk like they usually do, spitting out banter and laughing. No, they didn't, and they would only speak if it was about business or gang matters, which they were all serious about.And until now, I still got no replies or any responses from Mask, which worried me.As I quickly got out of the vehicle, I walked inside hastily, but then I stopped in my tracks as Zacharias spoke."Bring Allura to her room. Don't let her out until we say so." He commanded the workers."H-Huh?" I looked back and saw some of the workers grab both of my shoulders."Don't touch her." Lorenzo sternly said."Sorry, boss." The workers said as they let me go and guided me to my room instead."Mask, psst." Haru called his friend while they were inside
