Josiah
This is not what I had expected when I asked her to watch this horror movie.
Usually, most girls would definitely be afraid and clingy but Eunice was different—entirely different. While every single woman inside the cinema was busy screaming in fear, Eunice just sat beside me, ate popcorn and…watched. She didn’t even seem so scared.
I tried to hold her hand—and that’s the farthest I could go, I didn’t even hold her hand!—and she let me. I tried to feed her with popcorn but she just glared at me.
Oh, heavens! What will I do with her to make her a normal girl? Sure she has some moments where she blushes but those were moments when we are alone in our room…naked inside our blankets. Damn.
Eunice looked at me intently as we settled ourselves in an Italian restaurant. She’s already complained of how much calories she’s already had for today but she wanted to eat some p
EuniceFuck?Two members of SeQret are down but Nanette is injured. Zinger, apparently and expectedly, used a knife to stab Nanette’s right leg. She’s wincing in pain as Mona assisted her to come near us.Her right inner leg is bleeding profusely. Mona ripped Nanette’s pants where the wound is and applied pressure to control the bleeding.“I hate that bitch!” Nanette seethed with anger.I know. I hate her too.I looked at Zinger who was already smiling in triumph while she looked at us. Now, I won’t hold back anymore. Since they used a knife, I might as well give them a good fight.“Are you next, Gemini?” Zinger said menacingly as she expertly maneuvered the knife on her hand.I glared at her. “Satan really doesn’t play fair, huh?” I said as I picked up a long and thick PVC pipe on the ground.Zinger looked at me with widened eyes. She isn
JosiahBlinding lights.White ceiling.White walls.It’s hard to open my eyes but I can feel an oxygen mask on my face. I must be in the hospital.The last thing I can remember is getting shot by Night Train, who happened to be Kyle Kim as well.Eunice came running to me while crying. I held her face and apologized because I couldn’t do anything to protect her but she cried even more.“Son…” I heard Mom’s voice as I shut my eyes forcefully. She must have noticed the change in my facial expression.I took a deep breath and tried my hardest to open my eyes. I couldn’t feel my whole body. It’s as if I was paralyzed.Mom’s worried but relieved eyes welcomed mine as I opened my eyes. She’s crying as she looked and called my Dad.Mom’s holding my hand and squeezing it. “Thank goodness, you’re awake!” she let out as she
Eunice“Run!” I heard Mitch shout as we all separated from each other.I can hear the siren from the police car that’s just around the corner. My heart raced even faster as I hear the siren getting closer to where I am.“Hey!” One of the cops yelled but he was alone so he didn’t know where to turn to.I got this opportunity to run even quicker and find a hiding place quickly.I can’t get caught now.“Gemini!” I heard Nanette calling my code name from a distance.I looked at the direction of her voice and saw her on top of the brick wall. She’s already climbed the wall and was trying to stretch her hand so I could come with her. Her clothes are already ripped and covered in blood.I quickly dashed to her and took her hand so I we could climb to the other side. Nanette pulled me successfully and we both jumped to the other side.Both of us are pan
Josiah“That hurts!” Hannah’s whines and moans could be heard inside my whole flat as I tried to put alcohol on her wounds. She has a lot of abrasion and bruises this time. This is more serious than the last time.I looked at her with narrowed eyes. “I really don’t understand why you have to involve yourself in a gang, babe. It’s too dangerous!” I scolded her.She just rolled her eyes at me. This always happens after her fight. And she doesn’t even tell if they won or not. I always end up knowing the results from my troupe.Hannah belongs to one of the most notorious female gangs in the underworld called SeQret. One could say that they could easily be the strongest out there if not for their rivals, Astra.“Josiah, you know I can’t quit on my gang. I am their leader,” she explained. “And besides, we need to beat the shit out of Astra before I quit the undergrou
EuniceI have no words.I can’t believe my parents just sold me out there to an arrogant-looking man! The only consolation one could get from a pragmatic marriage is to find a man that’s at least likeable! That Josiah is nowhere near likeable—damn, he’s not even passable!I’m not really the type to walk out on my parents. As a matter of fact, I always try my best to make them proud because that’s how I think it should be.I’ve always imagined my life to be piloted by me, and not by my parents. I’ve never imagined them taking the wheel in my life because I’ve always thought they believed in me more than anyone.I admit I am willing to do whatever they tell me to. However, this is not right. I am willing to do everything—just not this one.Marriage is not a joke. Marriage would mean I would share the same roof with the person I love and trust, not with a stranger who
JosiahEveryone was shocked the moment Eunice walked out.I smirked to myself. It seems like she’s not a goody-two shoes like every other elite girl is. She’s spoiled, well, that’s a given if your family owns a huge pharmaceutical group of companies.“I’m sorry,” Mrs. Lee stood up and tried to follow her daughter.Mom was already trying to console Mr. Lee who seemed sad and disappointed.Huh? Well, they should have thought about their daughter’s reaction first before agreeing to this.I shot a glare to my father and already saw him looking at me.“Josiah, this is needed by the company,” his voice was not pleading, instead, it sounded like a presidential order.I clenched my jaw and glared at him even more. How can he talk to me like that? How can he talk like that after the daughter of his business partner has already given her answer?I stood up with
EuniceMom went inside my room the next morning. No one bothered me the whole night and I liked it. I actually wished daytime would never come because I don’t want to be reminded of the nightmare that dinner caused me.“Eunice, let’s talk,” she said as I was still wrapped around my blankets.I don’t want to talk. I can’t do what they want me to do. I can’t do it. Why do they want me to do it?I wasn’t a rebel child.I was an obedient daughter, as a matter of fact.So why are they doing this to me?“Eunice…” Mom’s voice was soft. I know she’s trying to comfort me right now. She stroke my shoulder and I sighed, defeated.“Mom…” I said in a raspy voice. “I don’t want to get married.”I would definitely reconsider if the man’s not that arrogant. But he’s not. He’s the most arr
JosiahI see her sighing from her table. But I can also see her clenching her fists like she wants to fight someone right at this moment.“What, dude? You already in love with your fiancée?” Sage teased as he caught me staring at Eunice.I glared at him.I’m still angry. I’m still loathing the fact that Mom has successfully blackmailed me to marry this woman. I’m still hating the fact that she’s got her way to piss me off again.“What’s wrong with Hannah?” I asked, out of the blue, out of topic.Stan raised his brow at me. “Why are you asking?”“Because I want to know why you hate her,” I replied as I plopped myself on the stool.I want to know why every person in my life hates the woman that I love. It’s not like she’s unlikable. To be fair, she is so caring and thoughtful. She’d always think of me first. Tha
