I was in my room doing my makeup when Bianca and Melinda walked in, dressed in their fabulous dresses, Bianca had a purple gown on and Melinda, the red gown from the boutique. Today was the masquerade ball and it was half past ten in the night. Alonso had instructed me, according to his word; "be ready at ten thirty sharp", I was kind of late."You're still not ready?" Melinda face palmed because of the fact I was still dressed in my robe."I'm done" I dropped my red lipstick on the vanity table next to my mask and got up from the stool, I didn't feel excited about going to this ball, but I had to because of my uncle and because I didn't want to miss whatever fun thing that happened."Put on your clothes before Alonso barges in, yelling" Bianca shook her head.I hurried into my closet. In less than two minutes, I came out dressed in the black gown I had gotten from the boutique."wow," Bianca spoke softly."I told you" Melinda nudged Bianca's elbow.We heard a knock on the door, Bian

I pulled Melinda to the side and spoke to her almost whispering so that Leonard won't hear us."What are you doing with this guy? Didn't you have a thing for Kayden?" "Not anymore, Kayden doesn't pay attention to me, I can't waste my life chasing a guy that doesn't even notice me" she answered "Okay, I get you but do you know this guy? where did you meet him and what's he doing in this ball?" I interrogated her "That's Leonard, a rich boy I met on the internet, I invited him to the ball. He flew all the way from Australia to see me" she answered innocently"Hmm that's nice" I smiled evilly, Leonard has walked into his death trap... "Bianca and Warren are searching for you, it's urgent" I lied to her"Then I have to get going""Yes, you do.. in the meantime, I'll say hello to Leonard" I spoke politely"Nice, you two should catch up, I'll get back to you guys soon" she spoke as she walked away.I put on a straight face and walked to Leonard "So, you're the rich guy from the internet

The ballroom was filled with blood-curdling screams and bloodshed. Those who knows they had betrayed their mafia in one way or the other started crying profusely, begging their leaders not to kill them.I stood there watching the horrific scene of brutal killings without flinching a bit. This was expected of Don Drew's ball, it's what keeps it exciting because you never know what he has in store. "Jacqueline I need your help" Melinda spoke with a shaky voice "With what?" I asked, still staring at a mafia underboss who was about to kill his traitor "Not here.." "You know we can't leave here now, the doors are sealed shut" I reminded her "At least, towards the door, we'll talk there"She dragged me towards the entrance door, we bumped into several people but Melinda didn't mind."MELINDA!!!" I heard Alonso yell out from the front of the ballroom.Melinda trembled in fear as we stood by the entrance door... She wasn't able to speak up, she just stood there, trembling, I could see th

It was a stormy night. The high speed of winds made the nature of torrential rain violent. I was running on the lonely street seeking shelter, I was far away from Scarface's warehouse and my uncle's mansion.I stood in front of a three-story building which appeared to be abandoned, shivering, the biting wind was becoming unbearable for me. I walked to the side of the building hoping to find some sort of shelter but there was none, I kept walking about the surrounding, I was tired of running. I needed to hide somewhere."Freeze!"I heard a masculine voice from behind, I quickly put my hands up in surrender."Good, now slowly turn around"I did as instructed only to see a red-haired man pointing a gun at me. "Please don't shoot, I'm unarmed" I begged."Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man questioned."I'm... I'm Jacqueline, I mean no harm... I just need a place to spend the night" "Wait a minute" The man looked at me from head to toe... "I know you, you're Jacqueline Catta

I had been in this disgusting room for hours but it seemed like years. I sat hopelessly on the bed without any thoughts."Hi, I brought clean clothes for you" A girl with hazel eyes and dyed purple hair walked in."Thanks" I stood up from the bed and took the clothes from her... "If only I could change without cameras watching me" I threw the clothes on the bed."You could turn away from the camera and put on the clothes. They can see, but they can't touch" she laughed sarcastically."The heck" I didn't know when I burst into laughter."Wow, so you do laugh" she chuckled."What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow."I was expecting the person who battered Raymond to be an emotionless monster" she laughed.I was so mad at Raymond for mentioning my parents, I couldn't care less if people were watching me through the camera. I beat him up black and blue, he was lucky I couldn't put a bullet through his head."Oh, how's that idiot doing now?" I asked with an evil smile on my face. "Receivin

"I thought you'd be dead by now" I looked up towards the door and saw Alexa coming in, behind her was Raymond whose face was covered in bandages except for his eyes and lips."You want me dead?" I chuckled a little bit."Absolutely not" she squealed as she hugged me. She heard the news about me being spared and joining the gang."I wish they killed you" Raymond rolled his eyes.I shot him a death stare without uttering a word. I could literally hear him swallow something, he quickly walked out of the room in fear."You're officially my favourite person" Alexa laughed as she squeezed me in a tight hug again. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone from the Hernandez family to be sweet. I hate hugs but I guess I have to learn to deal with Alexa's constant hugging."A few hours from now, you'll officially become a Matrix" Alexa spoke with excitement."I can't wait" I forced out a smile."Let's get you a new outfit for your initiation" Alexa dragged me by my hand out of the room."Wait!"

A week ago;Flashback..."What do you think you're doing you little demon?" A chubby lady shouted at ten-year-old me.My body was covered in flour. We were in the kitchen and this adopted mother of mine was baking a congratulations cake for her husband. I wanted to help her out in the kitchen but she refused. I decided to help her out anyways. I stretched my hand to the counter which was taller than me to pick up the bowl of flour but it slipped from my hand and fell on my body."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" I apologised with my head bent downwards"Shut up" She screeched in my ears... "Do you know how much I spent on all these ingredients?" She grabbed my arms tightly."I... I just wanted to help" I spoke softly. This woman was my first adopted parent. I wasn't excited about the idea of getting new parents as nobody could ever take my parents' place in my heart still I wanted to make a good impression but everything I did was disgusting in her eyes, this woman hated me."You wanted t

It was past midnight. I was sitting in a semi-circle booth seating, alone, in a lavished nightclub. This nightclub had a modern and luxurious design that was sure to put someone in awe. The seating area is plush and comfortable, with velvety couches and ottomans. The walls were painted in a rich black, with colourful accent lighting that changes to the beat of the music to give it an extra bit of vibrancy. The dance floor is a glossy black, with a star-studded ceiling that has flashing lights to give it a sparkly feel while illuminating the room. I watched the dancefloor while tracing the rim of the half-empty wine glass which was on the table with my fingers. The dancefloor was full of people, some dancing and others swaying to the music. Near the dance floor, a small stage had been set up with a DJ spinning the latest tunes. The crowd was captivated by the music and the energy in the room was palpable. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was having a great time. I looked to my r
