Jilly heaved out and took the water bottle to gulp down the contain. She felt thirsty after a boxing practice. She knew someone who does kickboxing and had been her partner for a long time. Besides getting trained to fight from time to time, Jilly also does other sports like boxing, archery, shooting, and the list goes on.
“It was great to hear from you again, Julliane.” Ronny, the kickboxing trainer said. He doesn’t have a favorite among the people he trained but Jilly was his great partner to have.
“I didn’t slack off, did I?” Jilly asked about her ability in kickboxing since it had been years she was into it.
“You are still as good as you were, Julliane. I wonder why you always ask things like that, you’re a pro.” Ronny praised her. Even a professional like her still doubted her abilities, how about the others then? “Aren’t you going to let your boyfrie
Cayne groaned out of pain like his head was being banged hard, maybe that was what happened. He couldn’t clearly remember what happened after getting down the stairs and checking the house just in case. It was not that he felt betrayed, he somehow knew that she did it on purpose. She was trying to fight back against them.“Are you finally awake?” Cayne opened his eyes after hearing a voice. He blinked a couple of times to get rid of the soreness around his eyes. He could easily find the person who was talking because the person was familiar and sitting like a boss behind the desk. “I was waiting for you to wake up. Is she not coming? It has been a couple of hours.”“Jilly? Why would she come?” Cayne replied casually and calmly.“Because her boyfriend went missing and she should be worried.” Luciano pointed out and Cayne laugh at him. Was he that naïve? “Why
“Is this the right place?” Lincoln asked. They just arrived at the abandoned building Jilly was describing. Kook and Lincoln pulled some strings and gather all the information about abandoned buildings around the area, so here they were. “This kid didn’t know places to get in trouble.”“Do you even know how he ends up here?” Katherine asked as they keep on walking over the reeds.“Isn’t it obvious? He messed up again. How would he get in trouble like this if it was not for Jilly? Do you think I can forget about this?” Lincoln showed them his pinky finger which was a perfect match with his little shit as a brother. “This is unforgettable and you were all there.”“Well,” Katherine shrugged. “You made the mistake then.”As they were approaching the old building, Lincoln saw another figure next to his brother. “There’s someone with him.”Kook take a look inside from their spot to see how was inside before getting in. “It’s Luciano, the one that he rambled to about Jilly.”“That eye cover
Everyone was waiting for Cayne to wake up and it was already dinner time. Lincoln moved Cayne up to their room and frequently checked upon his brother.“Everything is normal but why is he not up yet?” Lincoln looked at Jilly to hear an answer or at least expect one.“I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know,” she replied to him. “He should take his time to wake up, I won’t bring her back until then.”“Of course, it would be a great thing to do. Grace is not supposed to see things like this, she is just a baby.” Katherine said, agreeing with her.“I’m going to rest now. So, don’t come in without my permission.” Jilly warned them beforehand. Privacy was privacy and worry was a different thing. Everyone nodded in understatement and Jilly left them downstairs while she went upstairs to their room.She twisted the door handle of their room and push open the door before walking in. She took a look at the room before fully in, she frowned when she saw that he was awake. “How long have you been awak
“Will you stop spacing out?” Lincoln looked at Katherine who had been out of this world since yesterday. Honestly, they could understand the situation. They, except Cayne and Jilly, agreed that Katherine did wrong. So now, she was worried about her husband going missing in action.“Don’t mind me and just do your things,” she replied emptily and suddenly got up from the couch and leave the room. He exchanged eye contact with Marco and Leira and the both of them just shrug their shoulders.Katherine walked out of the house like a bum who lose hope in life. Her eyes lost focus as she keep thinking about Kook. She had never seen him get so upset like yesterday, so she was worried. Would she find him if goes out to look for him? At this point, she doesn’t care anymore because she just wanted to find him and talk things out.She walked out of the gate and just walk where her feet would carry her. During the times they live in Italy, there were no special places they go to or somewhere he te
“I beg people,” Katherine replied which get a raised eyebrow from Kook. So, she just shrugged her shoulder. “I went to Marcus’ house and the guard told me where you might be.”“I never went there.”“People like you,” Katherine corrected herself and Kook goes confused. Does that suppose to be praise or an insult?“What does that mean?” He scrunched his face at his wife.“Means people who work and do dirty things. People who like to brawl and fight,” she tried to explain it to him. “Did you come to Marcus?”“Well, I need somewhere to go. I didn’t meet Marcus but I met Mariah. She told me about this place and the password … .” He dragged the last word as he was wondering. He eyed her suspiciously and in the end ask about it. “How did you know the password?”“I told you that I beg people,” she said.“Who did you beg to? My sister?” He guessed with a raised eyebrow. There was no other person she knew besides Jilly who would help her out. Marco? He was out of options. He wouldn’t help her o
Jilly and Cayne sat down in a room reserved by Marcus. There were just the two of them there and the rest would come soon. The rest as in Marcus and Lyan, Luciano’s brother.“Can you ask them to bring food here? I’m kind of hungry actually,” Jilly asked Cayne, patting his thigh so he would do it. “Go.”“Pasta?” Jilly nodded and Cayne walked out of the room after that. He came to the bar counter and ask the guy in charge. “Is there a cook here? If not, can you help me order some food? Pasta.”“We do have someone who can cook. Julliane’s order?” The guy asked Cayne.“Yes,” he replied.“You can go, I’ll bring the food over to the room.” Cayne nodded and left to go back to the room. He walked into the room without knocking and didn’t realize people were already inside. Cayne greeted Marcus by bowing his head and then sit down next to Jilly. She immediately looked at him silently asking about the food she ask him to get.“They will bring the food here when it’s done,” he replied lowly on h
“Do you even know what family means?” Marcus stared at Cayne. Marcus valued his family the most in this world and he would die for them, it had been his life’s motto. “It’s not just about to be together with them. You have to know what you want to do with them. From what I see until now, your life is extremely the opposite of what people live. Is that how you want to be living every day?”“Okay, we’ll take care of that ourselves.”“Julliane seems to be sick of it. Didn’t you hear?” He was referring to the earlier event. “What about you, Rachel?”Marcus was just asking her when the door was being knocked on, so he let them in. He saw it was one of his men. “What?”“Fran is here to see you,” he said and Marcus look at him with a raised eyebrow.“Does he mention anything?” He found it weird that his right-hand man wanted to see him without telling him beforehand. The guy shook his head to answer his question. “Let him in.”The man leave and Marcus was in his own world to find a reason wh
“What are you doing keep coming here, Leira?” The house was not so crowded anymore. It had been a month since everyone left. The only visitors she had lately were neither her family nor Leira. She would visit with Marco at times but in the last few days ago, she had been visiting alone.“Taking care of Grace. She likes me,” she replied while playing with Grace.“So?” Jilly brought the breakfast she had just made to the living room where the two were playing. She put the plate down on the coffee table and sit down. “I don’t know about you, Leira, but I called Marco to come here to take care of your problem. Understand?”“Jilly.” She turn to her and raised an eyebrow. “Marco, he has been busy.”“I understand, that’s his job as an heir of the don. You get a bit of the life we’re living in, right? Giving service is not that much different from what he did.” Both heads turned to the front door when they heard the doorbell.Jilly got up from the ground and walk up to the door. She knew it w
