Do you know how it feels when people looked at you like you committed a crime for the first time in your life? Even though you have committed a lot of it but it felt like you have just done something bad for the first time.
Yeah, now I can relate to that.
5 people that are in this room are currently looking at me like I’ve just killed someone. The looked of shocked, confused and curious are etched on their faces. Right now, I felt like a baby that has been caught naked.
"You said, everything happens because of you?" Blake asked. I nodded my head still remaining calm.
"What do you mean by that?" I cleared my throat and rubbed the nape of my neck. "Well, you see, I may do something unexpected."
"What did you did?" Drake asked with a frown etched on his face. "I-"
Blake walked forward and put his hands up to stop me from talking. "Wait, is this have something to do with you sneaking out?" guess there is no way to hide anymore. Sighing, I
I throw some rock at the lake and just stare at the horizon blankly. I switch my gaze to the moon that reflects from the water. I heard footsteps coming but I didn’t turn back, I kept looking at the water. Then I see Blake's reflection from the water.The two of us didn’t utter a single word. Silence surrounded us, only the sound of cricket that we both heard."If you want to ask about what I said, you better not cause I won’t explain anything," I said coldly. I heard Blake sighed."I’m not going to ask anything. I’m here to see if you are okay.""Now that you have seen me, can you please go?" instead of hearing him walk away, he sat next to me. Sighing, I ignore him and continue to throw some rock. "Remember that day when we were in Italy, you sneak out in the middle of the night? Only to find you sitting on the ground staring at the lake?""How can I forget? It has been a week of me staying in that hellhole after Mor
Crossing my arms as I stared at the night forest through the window. I can’t stop thinking about Chase's conversation and me. He said he wants to see me. I’m quite curious as to why Chase wanted to see me but at the same time, I feel a little nervous. I don’t know why.A sigh escapes my lips as I kept contemplating about it. I flinched when someone wraps an arm around my waist. "Thinking about something?""Nothing.""Really? Cause I’m sure you didn’t hear me when I open your door." Blake moved beside me. "I just have a lot on mind.""Tell me then." Should I tell him about my conversation with Chase? But if I tell him, I will be left with two choices. One, Blake will follow me or two, he won’t allow e to go. And I want neither of it. So I think I won’t tell him. Maybe some other time if I must too."You’re spacing out." I turned to him. "Huh?""You space out. What’s wrong? This is unlike y
For a whole day, I kept thinking about Chase's words. I’m battling with myself to go or not. A side of me wanted to go another side of me wanted to stay. But I’m curious as to why he wants to meet me. Does he know the reason why I wanted to kill him? Or is this one of his plans to kill me instead."Ruby, what’s with the hanging?" my eyes snapped up to look at Austin who raised his eyebrow. I shook my head and continue with my train. "Nothing, just feeling tired a little.""Wow, this is the first time hearing Ruby is tired." I rolled my eyes. "You’re exaggerating. I may be a mafia puppet but I’m still human too.""Right. So wanna spare?" I stop what I'm doing and turned to a smirking Austin. "Are you sure? Cause the last time we spare, I almost broke your hand." My lips curl up to a smirk. He rolled his eyes. "That was a long time ago. Now, I’m stronger than you.""Okay, if you say so."The two of us are currently
"I think you will, Liv." My eyes widen and I stood there frozen. "Or should I say, Olivia White?" The gun that I pointed straight at him, slowly fall on my side, and the grip I had on it loosen. The confidence and strength that I have just vanished. And right now, I feel bare, like he saw every inch of me.Chase walked around me with his intense eyes. "My guess was right." He whispers harshly to me. I can’t help but flinch. I never flinched at anyone before and yet here I am flinching only with his harsh whispered.I try to argue with him but I can’t seem to find my own voice. My mouth went dry like a dessert that needed water."I must say, you really play your part well. From Ruby, Halsey, Cassie, and lastly to your old self Olivia. So tell me why did you do all of this?" he stood in front o
Blake stood in front of me crossing his arms while glaring at me. I got a feeling he will interrogate me like usual. "What’s up?""Where have you been?""Out." I simply said. "Out where to be exact?" I lean back to the car door. "Buying food. I was craving for in and out." "And where is the food?" he said while raising his eyebrow. "I ate it," I said as a matter of fact. "Where is the location of in and out?""Okay, what is this? Why are you asking? Are we playing 20 questions?""I’m just making sure you didn’t go wander around.""Because I didn’t.""But you lied for the past 2 minutes." I let out a
"That’s your plan?" Drake asked after I’ve done explaining to my friends. We are now in the living room with me standing in front of my friends and telling them my idea. Oh and I told them about my conversation with Michael."Are you sure this is going to work?" Austin joins in. I shrugged. "I don’t know but the last time we did this, Wyatt and Gerald died. So I think there will be a higher chance that this plan will go well.""Wyatt and Gerald are both dumb but Chase, he is smart and he always one step ahead of us." I scoffed as Austin said that. "He might be smart but we still ahead of him." I cross both of my arms over my chest while looking at them one by one. "The question is, are you guys in or not? I won’t force you guys to come with me." I tapped my foot patiently while waiting for them to respond."I’m in," Emily said."Me too." Drake and Austin said."I’m the technician so I’ll follow whatever you
I was almost done getting ready when my door burst open revealing Blake. I rolled my eyes and continue what I was doing. "What do you want?" I said with a bored tone."I suggest you cancel this plan.""And why is that?""You're wrong if you think you are going to pull this. Chase is a smart man and I know he will be one step ahead of you.""Okay, thanks for the heads up. If he is one step ahead of us, then we need to be two steps ahead of him." I said as I reload my gun. "Why do you care anyway? I thought you were the one who didn't want to involve in this plan.""I am but I was only looking out for you. You never know what he has behind his sleeve." Turning around, I face Blake. "That was really touching but that won't change my mind." Grabbing my blazer and bag, I walked out from the room. I already spotted my team in the living room.We have a little briefing then we leave the house at 4. Drake, Matt, and Austin took the van whereas Emily
"Curious to find out the champagne you spike went?" he leaned forward with a smirk etched on his lips. "See that old man wearing expensive tux with women on each side? He is holding the drink that should be mine." My eyes widen in shocked. Shit! Chase is my target not the old man. I can’t let him drink the champagne or it will make the situation worse. A hand grab ahold of my arm to stop me as I stood up. "Where are you going? Planning to take the drink?" yanking my arm with no avail due to his death grip, he leans closer to my ear. "If you want to see that man survive, you must talk but if you plan otherwise then he’ll die." I face him as I clenched my jaw and glared at him in anger. "There’s nothing to talk about." "Oh, trust me babe, there is." I hissed. "Do not call me that." He raised his brows amusedly. "Why getting the feeling of déjà vu?" balling my fist up, I pressed my body to him catching him off guard. "You know what? Let the old m
