I woke up with the sound of alarm and sun rays passing through the half-curtained window. That's right. They give me a new phone since I left mine back at Jacob's place. Since coming here I haven't called my mom and informed her about my situation since I don't want to involve her, not in my current state. I get off my bed and go freshen up. I dress in a black tank-top and short workout pants. I tie my hair into a ponytail and wear my fingerless gloves. I go out of the room greeted by Dexter. He seems to be waiting for quite a while already and at the sight of my door opening, he sigh and said, "Finally! Took you hours to go out. Anyway, we're gonna start training right now. Hmm... seeing your outfit seems like you're ready. Good! Let's go." He warms up his muscle along the way by doing simple stretching. Looking at what he is doing I followed what he does and so we go to the training room. We walked to a hall with dimmer light and as I walk I can see a door right at the end

That time, we go to a cafe near the base called Orangeade to talk and it turns out that Mark and Dex have been creating a secret organization inside the gang called Shallow Rail. It's a rebel organization that was born inside of BlackJack, Mikael Lenox's Gang. I mean, corrupting it from the inside is easier than the outside but it also comes with a higher risk. I don't know how Dex and Mark meet but at least I believe that it's not a coincidence that I joined right at this time. Right now I feel as if God is toying with my fate. It's as if this is all planned. Even tho Dexter is my childhood friend but after what I've gone through it's kinda hard to truly believe in him some more Mark who I just meet today. But that day, I go back with a wavering feeling. It has been one year since then, Now I'm 18 years old and I also get closer to Mark and get to know his ambitions along with dex. I've decided to plant a trust in them and so I trained and joined the gang while also being a

I nod in response and take one last deep breath. I'm finally getting my own standing in here and tonight is going to be my first achievement since I started doing all this stuff. I'm finally getting the recognition I deserve. We go down along with Mark and ride our Audi R08. When we arrived, I see the club full of people from normal lackey to high-rank businessmen in the underground society. It was loud and full of people from our gang. I never thought that we would have this many relations with famous CEO. I go towards one of the VIP tables on the second floor and meet up with a high-end-looking man. Mark goes and sits beside him just like that. Which kind of shocked me a little since the moment we arrive his goofy and funny personality disappear as if it never exist. In total it was 4 people who sit there including me. Dex sits beside me and I whispered to Dex "Psst... Dexie, Who is that guy beside Mark?" Hearing my question he directly put a hand on my mouth as I can see

After hearing my word he looks dismayed and said "Lily, please. What has gotten into you?! Is it brainwash? huh?! Or did they tell you something? Liliane, everything they said is a lie. Don't believe in the- " I cut his word with anger plastered on my face as I glared at him and speak with cold and sharp words as if I'm is made of ice. " Shut up!  Whatever they say, lie or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The fact that you all betray my trust and deceive me is true. It's there and it's real. So save your words and take me on Lucas. Or are you turning into a coward because you're cornered and there is no hope of backup? HAHAHA, you look pathetic right now Luc." I tried to provoke him and seeing how his dejected face turns into anger tells me that my word gets him. At that moment I run to him, not giving him time to react as I launch my punches. Damn! That hit is good, the punch was solid and hard. I was smiling as I trows my punch at him. He was having a hard time ke

The ride back home was very quiet yet doesn't feel uncomfortable. It was a good silence yet something was tugging my heart. It gives me a weird feeling. I think about Val's confession again and my determination. My effort of coming this far. I can't give up especially when things have gone this far. Now, there is no turning back. He says he loves me since college but how did that feeling even bloom? His confession is making things more complicated than it should. For me, this is not the time for any love relationship yet I can't seem to put his confession aside. Dex was resting beside me after taking care of all the corpses with the cleaner and also finishing the paperwork for the furniture compensation along with bribing the people around to keep a silent mouth. I look towards Dex as I saw his lips bruised and his knuckle black and blue, this must be when he was fighting Jaxon and his men. I brush my hand over his knuckle slowly as I saw him flinch at the contact. I softly
