"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

A few days have passed. Today was Alonso's wedding. He had finally gotten Lizzy, Odette's mother to say yes. Alonso didn't want to waste any time in getting official with Lizzy, he planned a small wedding. it was just going to be some members of the mafia and a few relatives of Lizzy. I sat among the congregation in the wedding venue, my uncle was waiting by the altar alongside his groomsmen with a priest standing on it. As soon as Lizzy's presence was acknowledged we all stood up. The flower girls first walked in, Odette was among them, and then the bridesmaid walked in, I was asked to be one of them but I hated that shit but Bianca gladly accepted it, heck she was the chief bridesmaid. Then, Lizzy walked down the aisle slowly. she was putting on a simple wedding gown, holding a small bouquet with her other arm wrapped around her father's arm"You know, I've always dreamt of watching my daughter walk down the aisle but you took that dream from me" I heard someone speak in a shaky vo

Present times:"Wake up sleepyhead!!"I heard a high-pitched voice piercing through my ears, I opened my eyes immediately but squinted them as someone opened the curtains, letting the early morning sun shine on my face."What the heck?" I grudgingly sat on the bed rubbing my eyes, I yawned and eventually looked up at the person who decided to ruin my sleep"I can't believe you're in bed at this time... Geez, it's past eight a.m" Alexa tucked in a strand of her purple hair behind her ears then placed her hands on her waist."It's still too early" I got up from the bed... "I like waking up somewhere around ten or maybe eleven but definitely not eight-ish" I complained as I neatly arranged the blanket on the bed."Well, you're in our house and we have rules… everyone is up and breakfast is ready" Alexa rolled her eyes "I don't follow rules and I can eat my breakfast whenever I wake up" I threw myself back on the bed"You just arranged that" Alexa chuckled as she facepalmed"Ugh!" I got

Lorenzo's povI watched Jacqueline as she fought Ali with everything she had in her. I had never seen someone as fierce, strong and courageous as her… she wasn't scared of the fact that Ali was bigger than she was and the doubtfulness of the crowd didn't make her lose hope in fighting against Ali.. This girl never ceased to amaze me. When Ali had given her that blow to her midsection, it took alot of self control to stop myself from breaking into that cage to give him the beating of his life. I wanted to rush in there and carry her out of that bloody fight, I don't know why but the thought of Jacqueline getting hurt pissed me off.. I felt relieved when she had her comeback, it felt like a heavy weight on your chest had been lifted up. The genuine smile that beamed on her face as she was announced the winner was contagious. God, this has got to be the most beautiful woman I've laid my eyes on. Jacqueline was very attractive, it's hard to keep your eyes off her.. my eyes were glued

Alexa spoke with excitement"Mhmm" I simply replied, not paying much attention to what she was sayingwe had just taken our shower, we were in the locker room changing our clothes. today has been one heck of a hectic and painful day, from fighting to pain simulation tests to shooting range. I wanted to get over all this tests and get into real action in the underworld"Ali must've been so embarrassed, he hasn't shown his face ever since the fight. poor dude" Alexa chuckled but this time, I didn't answer her "Earth to Jacqueline!!! Are you even listening to me?" she snapped her fingers at my face causing me to startle "Of course I'm listening to you" I sheepishly scratched the back of my neck. "I'm all done here, let's go" I turned to leave "Okay, then what did I say earlier?" Alexa folded her arms "What?" I gave her an are-you-serious? Look, she understood it

""I didn't need your help Enzo, I would've dealt with her just fine" I broke the awkward silence between us as we walked down the hall"I know, that's why I dragged you away from her" he answered "So?""We still need Avery alive" he simply answered. I don't know why but that almost made me to burst into laughterWe took a lift to the top floor of the warehouse. Lorenzo placed his thumb on the biometric scanner which was at the corner of a black majestic door."Welcome, Lorenzo Hernandez" the robotic voice spoke as the door automatically opened up."where are we?" I asked curiously as we stepped into the room."This is my office" he spoke proudly as the door shut itself.The office was adorned with dark wood paneling, intricately patterned rugs, plush leather chairs and tall windows sealed in heavy, luxurious curtains, well-stocked bar which reflected his taste for the finer things in life . classical framed paintings and sculptures lines the wall exuding wealth and refinement.
