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?"

The ride to the hospital was a quiet one, at first, I thought Lorenzo wouldn't let me go with him but surprisingly he agreed without hesitation. As soon as he parked his Porsche in the parking lot, Lorenzo quickly got down from his car, slamming the door. He walked as fast as he could through the hall angrily, not minding the nurses and doctors he bumped, I tried my best to keep up with him but it was almost impossible, I had to run after him. We eventually got to room 87 which Lorenzo barged into.Mrs Alma Hernandez, was unconscious on the hospital bed, she was intubated with a tube inserted into her trachea. She also had IV cannula fixed to her hand and a heart monitor which was beside her bed monitoring her heart beat. Alexa was sitting on the chair besides the bed, holding her mother's hand as tears fell out from her eyes."What happened to her?" Lorenzo asked in an angry tone but Alexa remained quiet, trying to stop herself from crying"God damnit.. answer me for fuck's sake Alex

"Mum? is that really you?" I asked with teary eyes, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my mum was standing right in front of me, she wasn't looking hurt in any form, she looked very much healthy and most of all, she was alive "Yes it's me baby" She held both my hands as tear drops effortlessly escaped from her eyes "I've missed you mum... all my life, I prayed to God to bring you and dad back to me" I spoke in a shaky voice, I enjoyed the warmth of her hand on mine "we wouldn't have died in the first place if it wasn't for you" the tone of her voice became harsh"what... what do you mean?" I became confused"You killed your father Jacqueline. What kind of daughter does that? If you hadn't pull that trigger, your father would've come up with something and rescued all three of us" My mother's voice became fierce and loud, I didn't know who this person was anymoreI instantly removed my hands from hers. "It's... it's not like that, I... I never meant to kill dad" I began to cry pr

I enjoyed the view from the window while eating my chips in peace as Lorenzo drove the car."You aren't eating anything, didn't you say you were hungry?" I broke the silence between us but he didn't answer me, he turned the steering with his left hand taking a right turn while his other hand rested on his lap, I don't why but that was quite attractiveIt took us about 2hours to reach our destination, Lorenzo didn't utter a single word to me during the ride, he kept his face emotionless which made me to miss the playful side of Lorenzo I saw earlier, that side I never knew existed in him."Here we are" Lorenzo spoke as he opened the door for me, ushering me to step out."Wow" I stepped out of the car, overwhelmed by the enchanting sight of nature around meThe mountains under the starry sky was mesmerizing, their silhouettes standing tall against the darkness, the moon shun brightly, casting a silver glow on the mountains, illuminating the waterfalls as they gracefully cascade down wit

Lorenzo's Pov"Where the fuck have you been? Raphael, Dante and I have been trying to call you all night, but you weren't picking up" Anthony shouted from the other side of the phone, thank goodness I didn't put the call on loud speaker else I would've damaged my ears"I was busy" I responded rudely"Busy? Busy with what? you didn't come back home, you weren't in your office" I could imagine the vein popping out on his neck as he shouted even more at me"I'm not a kid, if you've got something important to tell me then spill it out" I exasperated"you were supposed to have a meeting with Don Drew of Reapers by 10pm last night, were the fuck where you?" Anthony questioned Shit! I had totally forgotten about all my plans and work I had to do. I was so focused on alleviating Jacqueline's mood"I had to cover up for you, you have a meeting with him at 3pm this noon, don't fuck it up, we don't wanna get on the bad side Don Drew""Sure thing Anthony. Is that why you're so mad?" I asked nonc
The Heartless Lover Chapter 1
I stood by the seashore with my hoodie on, my face barely showing, waiting for our boat to come in. Beside me was Warren or as we would like to call him War because he was hot-headed, there was Kayden, we had been friends since childhood, as for Melinda, we're just acquaintances, I don't seem to flow easily with her and then, there was Bianca, my best friend since childhood, we got separated at some point but that's another story for later. There was also a huge truck behind us with Federico who appeared to be in his early fifties waiting in the driver's seat."This is taking much longer than it should" Warren groaned. "Dude, relax, they'll be here soon" Kayden put the cigarette in his mouth and blew a puff of smoke into the cold air."Bullshit" Warren isn't one to be patient, he always wanted things to be done quickly which sometimes puts our plan in jeopardy. I always go by the saying; slow and steady wins the race but this was frustrating me, we'd been here for more than 30 minute

"Are you okay?" I nodded my head to his question. This man I barely knew saved me from those gangsters and unknowingly to him, from the police. When we lost track of those gangsters, he took me to a small cabin in the woods. I sat on the chair while he went to bring out a first aid kit."You own this place?" I asked in a low tone"Yes." he answered while checking the content in the first aid kit."Why did you take me here? We're in the middle of nowhere" I stared at him hoping to get a logical answer"You're safe, aren't you? By the way, what did you do to those men that made them want to kill you?" He asked curiously"Probably to keep their secret, I saw them kill a man" I shrugged my shoulders He nodded his head then continued with his question "I'm assuming they're the ones who shot you?" The man raised an eyebrow."Yes." I lied. I couldn't tell him it was the police otherwise he would ask more questions and probably turn me in."At this time, you should be indoors, they're so man
