Grayson's POV"Good to see you, my little brother."His greetings is fake, everyone can see that. We're close when we were a child but suddenly it change, and now we're fighting for one reason. I came to his villa to discuss about important matters and he seemed waiting for me. "Have a seat, we have plenty to discuss. Want some wine, so we can discuss this matter properly?" "No thanks. I rather die than drinking that wine.""Come on, brother. Don't be a paranoid geek. I am not gonna kill you, not now.""Don't call me brother, Gerald. You're not even my brother because as far as I know your dad rape my mom," I muttered. "Fine. What do you need from me?""I should be the asking you that. What do you need and you brag into Erika's cafe," I uttered. "Oh, that? Well, her mother insist to meet her lovely daughter and accused her without proof. Don't be mad at me, you should be thanking me instead."I scoffed, "Thank you for what? You killed him not me, but decided to throw the crime to m
Grayson's POV"Hey, guys. What chu doin?" Asher greet us and he seem sarcastic when say those words. I know what this man wants."You supposed to stay on Erika's side, not here.""Oh, about that. She gave me a day off, which was nice for a person like me who stuck with a woman. While you and Nicholas? You seemed join a party!"I stop from writing and look at him, "What does it really mean, Asher. I'm not a fortune teller to tell what is going on in your head. Unless you came to annoy me, that's all."Asher seated on the opposite chair and glanced to Nicholas whose quietly reading a book, and doesn't even notice Asher. Perhaps he intentionally did that to annoy him. "Hey, Nick. What's up?" He muttered. "Just chilling and you?" Nick replied without looking at him. "Great. I am great dealing with this easy job and I don't wanna brag, but it doesn't even required on lifting a finger. You seem stress, what did you do? Perhaps, what party did you attend?"Nick looked at him and sighed,
Erika's POVI came out of the taxi and stare at the enormous villa sitting in front of me, then glance to the piece of paper in my hand and take a deep breath. Even though this is dangerous for me, and Grayson will get mad at me for being selfish. I don't care since the more important to me now is my family. After receiving a letter to my apartment and was send an address came from Gerald who wanted to see me. Although it might be a trap again, but who knows if he really wanted nothing but to talked? I am risking my life just to know Eric's situation and also my mom.I stop after reaching the door and then press the doorbell. Meanwhile, someone open the door and it is not Gerald. A man in black with a terrifying and dangerous aura, also his body was full of tattoos. Which imply his personality that this man would not think twice on killing me."Password." I swallowed when he speak and look at paper, "Uh, I came here for this."He took the paper out of my hand and read it like I came
Grayson's POV"So, you are telling me Erika wasn't on her rented apartment. Where did she even go?" I inquired and couldn't stop thinking where the hell she go. "No idea, Gray. I told you yesterday, she gave me a day off and leave her alone for a while because she seem stress. But I didn't know she'll going to leave. Maybe she go to somewhere else?" Asher replied."That's impossible, Asher. Erika has no other place to go unless she's hiding something from me, didn't you check her apartment?""Well, her landlord forbid me to enter her room. So I had no information to give this time," he answer. "Forbid you? Why?""Erika's landlord was told not to let him in," Nick's voice interrupt us, causing me to turned to him."What you got?" I inquired. Nicholas place a long envelope to my desk, "I got in, all I need to do is win the old lady's trust. I believed Erika intentionally left that envelope, and it wasn't just a normal letter that you can usually receive.""What'd you mean?" Asher con
Grayson's POV"I have arrived! Where the hell are you?" I shouted to announce my arrival since this is my first time seeing Gerald's mansion. We're not inside his mansion actually, we're on the front yard which is huge to be exact. His mens are ready to shoot us any moment, but Asher and Nick are more prepared. They already searching for the room where Erika's family were, especially since I couldn't contact her anymore. Gerald probably break her phone for some reason."Do I have to announce myself again, Gerald? Don't hide under your men's skirt, that coward."The front door opened and Erika went outside, but behind her is Gerald, pointing a gun to her head. He is fully prepared, I admit. "Coward. Now you're hiding under a woman's skirt to save yourself?" I muttered to annoyed him. "Don't be bold, Grayson. I am holding your precious and beloved wife, if she's really important to you?""What do you want? This is about your very shitty dream again? Aren't you tired of this sh*t?" I
Erika's POV"Where are we going?! Let me go!" I'm trying all my might to escape him, but he's too strong for me. Gerald push down the floor violently and slap me. I wasn't expecting that action from him, especially I done nothing wrong. I did what he told me to do, he even use me as his shield which isn't part of what we discussed. "Grayson came to me defenseless, which is my one and only shot to kill him. But you deceive me!" He's mad and couldn't restrain his anger. "I had nothing to do with his plan!" I answered."Stupid liar! How dare you lying to me, huh?!""I am not, Gerald! You got what you wanted! Gray's here and you should face him rather than hiding!" I muttered. He slap me again, but this time it's harder than the first one. Causing me to face to face the floor and felt the blood into my lips, but I tried to recover as soon as possible just to stared at him. "What did he tell you on the phone?" He questioned to me."Nothing! You broke my f*cking phone, remember?"He gr
THREE DAYS LATER Asher's POVYo! I'm currently heading to the hospital where my friend and Erika was. Grayson and I are friends, so it's normal for me to call him my friend. Although I never heard me calling me one because for him I'm not a friend but an employee. It's not that he don't treat me as friend, but he want to be professional. *Ting*I went outside when the elevator reach the second floor and started to search for that room, where I forgot the room's number. Where is was again? My phone ring, so I answered it, "Yo! What is up?"[Grayson's out and he wanted you to replace him.]"What? I thought he's in charge of taking care with Erika? Out of nowhere he left without telling me?"[Have you forgot? He never tell anyone his changed of plans, especially since he wanted to deal it all by himself.]"The what? Don't tell me he's changing job now?"[Don't know but it might be. Where are you?]"Well, he's lucky because I'm already here and don't have a choice but to take care of h
@GERALD'S ABANDON MANSIONGrayson's POVThis place is a huge mess. The walls has hole and it because of the bullets that go beyond of my enemy, but this seem to be completely abandon after they clean the bodies and remove the traces of proofs.I must say the mafia court did a great job to clean our mess, but I must expect their invitation one of these days. My eyes landed on the stair, I didn't get a damn whatever trap waiting for me upstairs. He probably left a bomb that will suddenly explode the moment I step into that floor.What bad things could happen? I went upstairs and scanned the hallway, this is the floor when I heard Erika crying in pain. It seem not touch by any of the cleaners who got here, maybe I was just surprised to see this floor is still neat. Or we didn't get into this section to destroy this very familiar paintings. I guessed he spend more time on bidding precious things. "His body was left here to rotten," I said to myself after remembering that Gerald's body wa
