Keith was pissing me off. He refused to tell us who the traitor was. I made sure I had battered him and vented out all my frustration and anger on him violently before he was locked up.I was walking out of the room where I had tortured him angrily when Melinda came running up to me."Hey... I heard the guys caught an accomplice" Melinda spoke while panting."You heard right" I adjusted my jacket."Has he said anything yet?" She started walking with me when she realized I wasn't gonna stop for any form of conversation."You think he'd spill the beans so easily?" I scoffed."Then we have to strike him where it hurts the most so he could speak up" She suggested."Yeah, no shit, sherlock holmes" I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I was just trying to help..." she paused and then looked up at me but I had nothing to say to her so she proceeded. "I know you see me as the coward in the group but I want to change that, I want to prove you wrong and do something beneficial"I stopped walking, then tu

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Bianca asked worriedly.we were in a car parked outside the grande gate of a huge mansion."Yes, I got this" I took in a deep breathThis wasn't just a random mansion, this was the mansion I grew up in with my late parents. I got the keys to the mansion from Alonso, I was ready for some closure."Just know I'm a phone call away" Bianca assured me before I got off the car. I simply nodded before she sped off. I opened the gate and walked into the compound... I was expecting to see overgrown grasses but everywhere was clean. Alonso wasn't lying when he said he hired someone to take care of the compound. Everything was just nostalgic, I remember playing by the lawn with my parents. I looked around the compound holding the urge to cry.I walked to the majestic door of the building, inserted the key and it opened up... I walked through the passage to the living room. My parent's pictures were still hung on the wall."Mum, Dad" I sniffled

A few days later; present time.Have you ever felt that strong feeling of vengeance? When you desperately want those who hurt you to pay severely for what they've done, if not with their lives? That's exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning and for the past eight years of my life. All I could feel inside me was pure rage.Most nights when I fall asleep, I relive the death of my parents and whenever that happens, it's either I wake up with boiling blood or teary eyes but today, it's the former. If only I could do something to save them that day, I'm still not able to forgive myself for letting that man make me pull the trigger on my dad but I won't let it slide. I crave vengeance. I'm one who forgives easily but when you cross the limit I become impatient waiting for karma to take over. I turn into a vindictive person.Bianca barged into the room, cutting me short from my thoughts "Don't tell me you're still sleeping" she folded her arms "Can't you see I'm up already?" I grudgi

Lorenzo's POVI was at the gym in the warehouse, taking out my frustration on the punching bag which hung from the ceiling."You need to calm down" Raphael who was shirtless, sweating heavily with a towel hung across his neck walked up to me."This is my way of calling down" I threw a few punches at the punching bag, then continue to speak "otherwise, you won't be standing in front of me alive""Anthony's calling you" Alex walked in, informing me. We call our father by his name, simply because we never had any bond with him, I don't know about my siblings but I sure do hate Anthony."The old man's calling me" I smirked breathing heavily. I knew exactly why he was calling me. He returned from Italy with my mum and sister last night, he must've probably found out the niece of Alonso was here."Anthony didn't seem to be happy when he was yelling your name all over the warehouse" Alex spoke"Is there ever a time he's happy?, I'll answer him when I'm done" I continued punching the bag "Ju

Jacqueline's POV"I can't seem to find any dress that fits me perfectly" Melinda complained and she went through the dresses on the rack in the boutique over and over again."Just pick something" I groaned from one of the chairs in the boutique I was sitting on whilst using my phone"I can't just pick something" she placed an air quote on the something while speaking. "I need a hot dress, something that would drive the boys at the ball to me" she winked at me "you can't be serious" I chuckled still not looking away from my phone"I am damn serious... now help a damsel in distress" Melinda was quite dramatic "I haven't even picked a dress" I pointed out to her. I didn't know what to wear talk-less of what to pick out for her."Help me, then I'll help you" she suggested."Fine!" I put my phone in my pocket, got up from the chair and walked up to her.I took Bianca's advice and tried to get to know Melinda better, she was actually a nice person, I guess what they say is true; you should

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
