"They made it look like we are holding them in place by using the boss itself. Antony Alonso is a cunning man so it puzzled me when Damon told me that they're restraining them. So, I made someone investigate this for me outside the mafia."His forehead creased. "What the hell are you thinking? You're putting everything at risk by doing that, Assia.""Chill, kuya," I chuckled. "She won't try to drag us down. After all, even if we're both using each other, she's looking down on the mafia," I shrugged my shoulder. "Based on her personality, she won't even touch us since she's deeply acquainted with one of us as well."He sighed. "And what's with this plan for? A ball?" I smiled then nodded at him.I know he has an idea about what I am planning to do."Are you sure? The Alonso's might doubt this. You fought back the last time you stepped a foot in their mansion, didn't you?"I smirked. "I never told them that I am a Vista, though.""So that's the reason why made a show, huh?" He chuckled.

The other executives didn't even had the chance to speak up or defend the CFO who is known for being close to every employee of this company.I clapped twice then smiled. "So much time has been wasted. Shall we start?"I handed them the files I have prepared."I reviewed everything about the whole corporation. Its history, planning of our businesses, our employees as well as the smallest stuffs that have lead me into entertaining a certain idea.""And as all we know, we owned hotels, restaurants, bars, condominiums, subdivisions and resorts. We are also connected to airlines and different types of vehicles because of partnerships.""And how does that concern losing a hundred dollars?" Kuya River asked.Could he not let me finish what I am saying?"We're always involved into luxurious type of businesses. I was thinking of dropping one, especially the minor partnership we have. But I have came of an idea to put another business instead of dropping one.""What? We're just going to create

My gown for tomorrow is already lying on my bed when I arrived.Its color is fading from cyan blue to gorgeous green which perfectly matches the color of my eyes. I'm pretty sure my dad chose this. Kuya has no taste when it comes to fashion and girls.I put on the mask that came with the gown. It's a simple blue mask embedded with small pieces of emeralds. It just covers half of my face.I took the large suitcase hidden at the corner of my closet. Preserved gardenias and tulips and a necklace welcomed my sight when I opened it. I took 'em out of the suitcase and replaced it with clothes I will be taking with me when I leave."You seem restlessly fine," I jolted in surprise when someone suddenly spoke behind me.I threw a piece of cloth on her. "You somehow terrifies me, Cali! How can you seriously walk around a place without creating any sound?" I said in an irritating way.She chuckled then waved her hand. "Long time no see, Assia," She cutely replied.I snorted. "It's just been week

She watched the video with her trembling hands. It was me, playing with her daughter. I dressed my niece like an angel while I was wearing an all-black outfit. I licked her daughter's earlobe at the end of the video."Don't you dare," She mumbled. "Don't you dare harm my daughter, Athijha!" She yelled while pointing the dagger at me. Then she laughed. "You can't. I know you can't hurt an innocent child."I snapped my fingers. "Remember when the both of you almost died from a road accident?" I asked then laughed. "I was the one who planned that. Sorry to tell you this but, I can.""Dad will protect us. You stand no chance against him, against us, Athijha. We have our sword pointed at your neck. Our gun pointed at your temple," She hysterically said."And I am just about to cut your head, darling. Do you want to save your daughter's life badly? Then just stand at the corner and watch me ruin all of you just like how you ruined me years ago. Watch me. Just watch me and do not join the wa

I chuckled the moment I let my tears escape my eyes. It was because of joy though."You lost me. I lost you. Then we lost ourselves," I wiped my cheeks with my blanket which is damn embarrassing but completely comfortable. "Just how stupid are we in this lifetime, Exiquel?"He gave me a pat on the head. "Stupid enough not to stop even if were broken, I guess."We stared at each other then laughed at the same time.I sighed at the back of my head.This reminds me of how we were when we're younger.In the clinic. I, sitting on the bed and him, sitting beside me."Quel, find yourself a great woman, okay?" I said.There is no assurance that we'll meet again. And if we ever do in the future, I am not quite sure if he still feels the same because I know it will take years, or even a decade before our eyes collides for another time.He smile and nodded.That reassured me.Now, I don't have to worry about how he will go and move forward."You know what, someday, I will introduce you to someon
