We didn’t waste any more time and got into the car. The bullets penetrated the window of the car, but the driver didn’t bother to move and drove expertly out of that place.“Get guns here!” He ordered pointing the guns on the passenger’s seat. I quickly move and get the guns, whoever he is helping is right now. His name is the least of our concerns.I handed Achilles a gun as well and we started shooting ten cars who were chasing us. We’ve targeted the tires so they won't’ be able to follow us anymore. I sighed in relief when silence erupted after that chaotic fight, only our heavy breathing could be heard.“T-thank you, Sir,” I uttered to the man on the wheel. He just nods at me and focuses on driving.We owe him our lives. Achilles took my hand, and kiss it.“We will never be apart again.” He whispered and kissed my forehead this time. I closed my eyes and encircled my arms around him.“I missed you so much,” I whispered back.“We will make him pay, Jada. All of the people involved.

My Knees started uncontrollably shaking, and tears continued to burst out. I wanted to curse as loud as I can to release this mix of emotions. Calm down, Jada. Martini wants you to feel exactly like this and never let him win. Right, I should be strong right now, but no matter how I tried to cheer myself up, my tears can’t just stop manifesting. “Jada?” I quickly wipe my tears up and flashed a fake smile before I faced Sir Arnold. “Is there something wrong?” He suddenly asked with his worried face fully visible. “No, I’m just a bit overwhelmed that I’ll be married tomorrow.” I lied. No matter how I wanted to tell him what was going on right now, I can’t. My son’s life is at risk here. I trust him but a part of me tells me to keep this to myself for now, while I’m figuring things out. Though I don’t have any sort of plan to get through this, I know there’s still a way. I’ll just have to soothe down and think calmly about how without risking my son or anyone I love life. I can’t aff

The gossip became louder, questions being asked towards each other, filling the whole area. But I remained my composure and glanced at the man beside me. His dark green eyes met mine, that was the first thing that caught me since we met, the first thing I admired in him was still hypnotizing but this time confusion was visible on it.“This wedding…”“Is just a big joke,” I added shutting the whole audience this time. The pain quickly rushed through his eyes, and from this moment I wanted to kill myself. But I can’t mess up, I planned this well inside my head hours ago.Despite how I wanted to take back what I said, I flashed a wide grin instead.“Do you think I want to marry a man like you?” I asked, not hinting at any sign of pity or remorse for what I just said.“Seems like my plan went well? You fall into it.” I continued.“W-what are you saying, Jada?”Achilles was always calm in every situation, but when I hear his voice crack this time, one thing could describe it, he was hurtin

“You only have two options, Jada, whether you’ll live with your son and me, of course. Or you’ll leave. Amari will stay here with me.”I look at him in awe and disbelief. “ I can’t believe you would go this far Martini, don’t tell me this has still something to deal with the Mafia organizations?”“What if I just don’t want to see you and Achilles happy huh?” He shot back mockingly before he passed me by, yet before he could make a distance from me, he speaks.“Decide now Jada, or do you have options anyway? You don’t have a home anymore, you left him remember? And I’m sure you won’t leave your son here.”“Get yourselves together Jada, don’t be too selfish. Think about what will be the best for Amari, look at the brighter and positive side of this situation.”***The fresh sea breeze swarm around into my nostrils as I watched the waves go back and forth, my feet were buried under the sand as I was sitting in front of the beach with the sunlight gently damping my skin.Six months seemed

Rage slowly consumes him, as he walks toward me heavily. My knees were shaking but I’m trying not to be obvious. I step back and tried to hide the phone behind me, but it was too late for that.“You’re calling him?” His baritone voice was low because Amari is just sleeping a few distances from us.Until I felt the cold wall at my back, he got me cornered between his arms.“You’re still hoping huh? Let’s talk outside.” He added, and before I could even react, he drag me out of Amari’s room.“Give me the phone, Jada.” His eyes piercing at me, but I didn’t budge. I hold the phone tightly instead.“Amari doesn’t deserve this Martini. You’re just using him so you could take advantage of me, can’t you fight fair and alone huh?” I shot back gritting my teeth. I saw a hint of shock on his face, but later on, faded and was replaced by a wide smirk.“So you knew?”“You were there earlier when I was talking to her on the phone right?” He asked again when I didn’t bother to answer.“Who was it?”
