The leaves of the tree dance with each gust of wind as if the strong wind is a song that causes the leaves to swing and keep up with its rhythm. The cold breeze made the boy rub his tiny hands to his arms with innocent eyes staring at the bright moon and twinkling stars.
The boy sat on the edge of his bed and kept his eyes fixed outside of his room's window, entirely mesmerized by the beauty of the moon.
"No, let me explain! I'm your wife, you should believe in me! Please babe, let me explain." A woman's loud plea caused the sudden flight of birds that had previously been resting on the branch of the tree.
Her voice echoed throughout the silent mansion. The boy's peaceful night got ruined by it.
"And you think I'd still believe in you? After everything that you've done?! No!" The man shouted frustratedly to his wife that was on her knees and begging him to believe her.
"You bel
The sight of drunk Vincent peacefully sleeping on the office desk put a grin on Alice's red lips. Whiskey and wine bottles lying on the floor did not bother Alice, it only made her feel more in control of the things that she's planning to do with Vincent. "Why you even drink huh?" Alice asked as she walked towards Vincent. Vincent was never been an alcoholic person and seeing him sleeping soundly because of drunkenness made her wonder why he let himself get wasted. Alice had known Vincent since they were in kindergarten. Her and Sebastian's father works for Vincent's father, the reason why she got the chance to study in every school Vincent had enrolled into. Since then, she can't seem to get him off her head. She has this strong desire of making him hers, and this is the right chance for her to claim him completely. She bit her lower lip as she run her fingertips on Vincent's broad shoulders. She doesn't know how
"Ready my car," Vincent ordered over the phone.Whoever that anonymous caller was Vincent was confident that he was someone he might know or be acquainted with. As much as possible Vincent tries to keep Vladimir in low profile. His enemies were unknown the reason why he manage to not include Vladimir in every gathering he got invited to as he knew someone might notice that they were always together which could cause Vladimir's death. But whoever called earlier knew about Vladimir and that made Vincent ponder."Vincent baby, can you slow down? I'm wearing heels," Alice complained. Her hair was still messy while her clothes are crumbled, far from her appearance when she entered Vincent's office earlier.Instead of being embarrassed when they passed by Vincent's secretary, Alice plastered a grin on her face. She wanted to make everyone notice that she and Vincent had shared body fluids inside his office a while ago, and both of them undeniably had fun."Leav
"Oh my goodness, Celestine! Where are you? I'm so worried about you." Celestine looked at Alice who was now consistently pointing her gun to Celestine's forehead. She thinks the news about her is getting worse and has been trending to any social media platforms the possible reason why Alice is doing this to her. Even if she wants to disobey what Alice wants her to do, she can't risk her only chance to survive just because of her stubbornness knowing that her life depends on Alice. Celestine cleared her throat so that her manager would not notice or suspect that she was in a death and life situation right now. She knew how Saoirse overreact to things that involved her and will sabotage her career that's why she's sure that her manager is sick worried about her now. They treat each other as siblings and she knew that Saoirse acts like her older sister most of the time. She doesn't want to get to the point where Saoirse will suffer from a heart attack out of
Vincent clenched his jaw. "Whoever the fuck you are I will fucking kill you." Vincent heard the man chuckle at the other line which made his blood boil in anger even more. "You know what? You're funny, Mogilevich. You're considering me as your enemy even though you don't even have a single clue of who I am." Vincent wants to kill now. He wants to get lost and kill whoever he meets. What the man is telling him was true — he doesn't know who he is talking to. He had no idea who he was but Vincent had a hunch that he was one of Stevenson's men. "Fight fair. I'm your opponent, fight me. Not my men," Vincent challenged the man. "I want you to gradually feel how is it feel like to eat dirt, Mogilevich." Vincent took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "If you want to end me and make me eat dirt then don't act cowardly taking revenge anonymously." He chuckled again. "You don't fight fair either, Mogilevich. Accept the
Even before Vincent could step a bit closer to his father, a great force of his father's fist met his face. It startled his facial muscle that his cheek deformed and he felt like his jaw dislocates. The impact on his face sends a throbbing pain to him.It was unexpected which is probably also the reason why Vincent almost lost his balance.His eyes are wide open as he unconsciously touched his numb cheek. It was not only his cheek that felt numb but also his whole body that when he lifted his finger, he's unable to feel it.The hotel staff who had been watching Venedict's every move were shocked after seeing the old man's sudden action.Venedict's men were alert— they move and immediately surrounded the entire ground floor to make sure no one will go out or in of the hotel.They grabbed the cellphones of the people who started filming and pointed a gun at them. It scares the people inside of the hotel but no one dares
As Celestine entered the hotel breakfast buffet passing through a glass door, the eyes of people inside pierced through her. She's used to people staring, talking, and saying mean things behind her back the moment she walked past them but now, it's different. Ever since she met Vincent, she became a stranger to herself. She lost herself. "Good morning, madame," A man in a waiter's dress, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, greeted her and motioned his hand for them to follow him. Following him, Celestine and Vincent's men walked on a red carpet to their table, facing the full height of panel with a garden view. The view made Celestine's lips form a smile but it didn't last when she turned her gaze on their rectangular table. Her eyes met Alice's brown contact lenses eyes which immediately ruined her supposed to be a good morning. The waiter pulled a chair for her to seat in which is next to Vincent's seat. She wanted to appeal
Celestine unconsciously moved her feet away from their table and found herself walking towards the comfort room. She needs to calm down. Alice put her cutlery down as she saw how Vincent pulled Celestine closer to him to kiss her. She wanted to kill Celestine because of what she had witnessed. She could not believe that Vincent had done that and she would admit she felt pain in her heart. "What's the matter? Why have all of you stopped eating?" Vincent asked them after Celestine's fangirl walked away. He sit on his chair again and resumed eating as if nothing happened. No one answered Vincent and all of them just continued eating. Alice could no longer chew the food in her mouth so she decided to go to the comfort room to meet Celestine there. When she stood up Vincent looked at her but he didn't ask questions like he said when Celestine stood up in her seat earlier. She must say that favoritism is real.
The light of dawn seeped into Vladimir's room as he rubbed his bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a magnificent shine within the sky. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in, adding flavor to his freshly brewed coffee."How are you, buddy?" Carter tapped Vladimir's shoulder before standing next to his friend, opposite the window."I'm good. Need coffee? he offered.Carter shook his head. "Nuh, I'm good."It's been days since he got out of the hospital—his wounds are all recuperated up, his thighs were no longer futile, and his face is not swelling any longer.Everything got back to normal after days of waiting for his wounds to heal—Carter had recovered from all the traumatic things that had happened, Sebastian finally stopped blaming anyone for what happened to Alice, and just spent his time taking care of his sister, Celes
