The Last Dict Standing Chapter 16: Survival of the fittest
Athena's POV:Flashback one year ago..."How are you doing, Angel?" Doctor Faisal inquired."I don't feel well," I grumble softly.As much as I wanted to move, my body just wouldn't react. I've been undergoing intense physical training for the past few years. We are taught to protect and fight with our bare hands, as well as how to utilize various weapons and manufacture, detonate, and dismantle explosive devices. We are also taught how to treat ourselves and provide first aid to survive."It's no surprise you're feeling ill after suffering three broken ribs, a fractured arm, and a broken nose," he remarked, smiling. "Don't worry about it. I'll give you some booster shots to make you feel as good as new." After speaking those words, he injected me with an unknown chemical substance.After a few seconds, my body felt numb. The excruciating pain I felt from my injuries was all gone. Doctor Faisal once again injected me with a high dosage of adrenaline booster, and in a matter of seconds
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 16: The Awakening
Athena's POV:Present time..."Her heart rate and blood pressure are increasing," a distressed female voice remarked. "She's having a seizure," she explained further."What is happening to me? I can hear them, but I can't move my body, and I can't open my eyes." I tried to respond and let them know that I was alive, but my body was not cooperating with my mind."Nurse, hold her arms and legs. Keep her steady," a male voice said, giving instruction. He's got to be the doctor. "Get the defibrillator. She is experiencing a cardiac arrest," he said in a commanding tone."What is going on with her?" Junior sounded so sad and worried. "Don't let her die no matter what," he pleaded with them.I never had someone who cared for me like that before. He sounded so sincere and truthful."Sir, are you related to the patient? Only family members are permitted in this area," the nurse told Junior, asking him to leave."I am her friend and the only family she had. I'm not leaving here!" Junior exclai
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 18: Out for revenge
Junior's POV:I'm relieved now that I know Athena is safe from harm. I can finally relax, get some sleep, and eat decent meals. Seeing Athena fighting for her life on the hospital bed is making me so worried. She put her life on the line to protect and save me, and I couldn't live with myself if she died."Junior, you can relax now. Athena is alive and well. She's going to be alright. It's time for you to take care of yourself." Tiny smiled at me and patted my shoulder."Have you noticed anything weird about Athena?" I said this while staring at Athena, who was sound asleep."She's always been acting weird since the first time I met her. If she acted weirder than she already is, Junior, you better go and tell Red about it," he responded, laughing."I know, but ever since she woke up from her coma, she's been spacing out a lot and looking at everything around her as if it were her first time. Could it be that the accident has affected her brain?" I said it worriedly."Junior, you have
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 19: Broken
Junior's POV:"Bro, I see that you got yourself some hanky panky while I'm gone," Tiny said when he caught me putting on my clothes. "Who's the lucky girl?" he asked curiously, looking around, searching for the woman I had sex with."She said her name was Lilith. Did you know her? The red-haired girl?" I inquired inquisitively."Red hair? Nope. I'm not aware of anyone who fits that description. She might be new here," he explained.We left the VIP room and went back to the club to get another drink from Milo. He was all smiles at me when he saw me fixing my clothes."Congratulations! You've been baptized!" Milo said, chuckling. "Welcome to the mafia world," he jokingly said."Shut up and give me something to drink." I squinted and glared at him."Yes, boss!" He promptly responded with a military salute.Tiny headed to the restroom to take a phone call. Tiny couldn't hear the caller on the other line because of the noise from the sound system and the band performing alternative rock, s
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 20: Allegiance
Junior's POV:I can't believe that Red laughed at me when I told him that Athena might be broken. Am I the only one who notices the changes in Athena? I may not be as smart as Red or as physically athletic as Tiny, but I am a good observer, especially of women's behavior.It's been a week since, and Athena has fully recovered from her injuries. The Sixth District Hospital has benefited from modern technology. With the help of Red's invention, he was able to create equipment that heals and restores dead cells quickly. Athena's wounds and injuries are as good as new.After a week, everything returned to normal. As part of my daily routine, we stop by the headquarters to see what's going on in the organization."My boy, we've been waiting for you." Grandpa greeted me with his usual loving hug.I told Athena to wait for me in the visitor's area while Grandpa and I entered the conference room."Junior, I want you to meet General Anderson," he said excitedly, extending his hand towards the
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 21: Death Match
Life is a game of chance. My Grandpa always told me to only gamble what I could afford to lose. I've always been a risk-taker, and my decisions are frequently rash, but at least I know what I want. My weakest point has always been my heart, but my strongest points have always been my resolve and conviction. For now, my goal is to give Athena back the normal life that has been snatched from her by the individuals who stole her humanity. That's the least I can do for someone who has put her life in danger several times to safeguard mine.I indicated my intention to visit the people who organize illegal gambling in the First District. I didn't want to go there unannounced, so I contacted them and expressed my interest in their operations. They bought my alibi and openly welcomed me to their home. Being the leader of the most notorious mafia organization, everyone wanted to be affiliated with us, and nobody wanted to be our enemies, except the ones who wanted to get rid of us and be at th
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 22: Death Threats
Athena's POV:Augustus provided us with a room to stay in as we prepared for the main event. Junior undeniably does not approve of the concept of me battling against other super soldiers. I can't blame him for being concerned; they all appear tough and fierce. He's been pacing back and forth in the room, anxiously awaiting the start of the match. His vitals are unstable, according to the X-ray scanner implanted in my eyes.My main concern is that I am no longer able to suppress pain. For some reason, my memories returned as well as my senses. Before, I didn't care about anything but fulfilling my job as a bodyguard and serving my master, but now I find everything interesting, especially things like watching romantic movies and girly stuff.I wanted to tell Junior about it, but I am a bit hesitant. I don't want him to worry about me, or he may think that I am not fulfilling my job. For the time being, I need to pretend that everything is normal until I figure out what's going on with m
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 23: Main Event
Athena's POV:"Did you know her?" I asked Junior, looking at him in disbelief.Junior becomes agitated. He opens and closes his mouth several times before forming words to say, "Well, it's a very long story to tell," he said, scratching the back of his neck."We made love at the bar." Lilith boasted about it with a broad smile on her face.I suddenly felt pain in my chest, like my heart was being sliced and diced by a thousand blades. The battle hasn't even begun, so why do I feel like I've already lost?"Junior, is that true?" I locked my gaze on Junior. When I found out he had sex with Lilith, I almost failed to maintain my blank expression."That wasn't the right term," he stutters, trying to defend himself.Lilith knew that she was making everyone uncomfortable, especially Junior, and I could see the sparkles in her eyes that she was enjoying every minute of it. "Oh, yeah, it was just a one-night stand," she admitted, a devious smirk on her face.Even though I already knew the ans
