HELIOS cursed inside his head while he stared at Zoe, who sat on the back seat with him.“Sir, where are we taking her?” Ambrose asked as he glanced at the rearview mirror.Helios pressed his lips. “At the penthouse,” he replied.Cliff, who’s in the driver’s seat, started the engine when he heard Helios.“What happened to her, Sir?” Ambrose couldn’t help but ask. He was also concerned about Zoe’s state.“You can see it clearly, Ambrose. Don’t start with me,” Helios replied.Ambrose pressed his lips and sat straight, but he saw how Cliff smirked. He just heaved a deep sigh and remained silent until they reached Helios’s penthouse.“What if Don Lincoln will know about this?” it was Cliff soon as he got off from the car.Helios frowned. “He will not know not unless you said it, right?”Cliff bowed his head. “My apology, Sir.”Helios carried Zoe towards the door, and when Nana saw them, she couldn’t help but ask about what had happened.“I’ll take care of her, Nana. Don’t worry,” Helios s

WORKING at the café for a while would be safer for Zoe. She has a hunch that Helios will look after her. She doesn’t know, but she has a strong feeling about it.She doesn’t want to see him—oh, who is she lying to?“Don’t worry, sweetie. I will still give you your salary—”“It’s okay, Aunt Millie. I am willing to help.”Millie pouted her lips, which made Iris stand beside her and roll her eyes. “Stop acting like you’re a kid, Millie. You’re already forty-nine. Turning fifty in a few days,” Iris said.Zoe smiled and shook her head. It’s been a while since she last saw her Aunt Millie. She was her mother’s best friend. They both studied and worked in Manhattan, but when Millie’s parents moved to California, she had no choice but to follow.A decade after, her parents died in an accident. Thus, she lives alone.As for boys? Well… Iris said that Millie wasn’t interested in them anymore after her first breakup.Maybe she really loves the man, but they are not meant to be. Sometimes, that’s

“THIS is your fault, Helios. Why would you listen to your father?” Grant’s voice keeps on lingering inside Helios’s mind.He opened up his problem to Grant so that his cousin would help him to find Zoe. And as promised, Grant will look after it.“You’re a son of a mafia boss, a future mafia leader after your father. Yet, you’re scared?”“Fuck!” Helios throws the glass on the wall of his office inside his penthouse.‘Grant’s voice is really troublesome,’ he thought.Helios went mad like this… for a woman. But Zoe is different. She possessed something that enchanted him, and she was hard to forget.Speaking of who, Grant entered his office and clapped his hands soon as he sat on the side of his desk.Helios arched his brow. “What are you doing here?”Grant smiled. “Hmm… visiting my dearest cousin, whose heart—”“Shut the fuck up, Grant. I am not in the mood for your jokes,” Helios cut off the hum of his words.Grant shrugged his shoulders. “Well, if you say so. Anyway, I came with a pi

Zoe’s POVMonday morning, I was awakened by the noise of my alarm and greeted by the rising sun, which lights beamed past through the window.My eyes widened when I realized that I had work to do. And I am late!I dashed inside the bathroom to take a quick shower, and afterward, I wore a simple white shirt and jeans. Since it’s summer, the weather is fine, and it suits my clothing… er, I guess?I don’t want to wear any sexy stuff like sleeveless or summer dresses. There’s no way. I am more comfortable with shirts and jeans.When I got out of my room, I smelled freshly baked cookies. I know that Aunt Millie’s cookies smell like that, and we’ve been here in Cali for almost a week now.Mr. Reynolds, the baker, has excellent baking skills so as cooking and I can sense that he likes Aunt Millie. So as my aunt. It’s just that they’re like teenagers who still feel shy with tints of cowardice.Even though mom always teased Aunt Millie, the latter still didn’t accept it. And she reminds me of

“ALL I need is an update, Grant! Why can’t you give it to me? I already paid you!” Helios’s thunderous voice boomed inside his office at the penthouse.Grant is standing in front of him. “I am doing my best—”“You all have the sources, but why are you having a hard time locating her?”Grant pinched the bridge of his nose as he met Helios’s gaze.“What you are doing will cause trouble, Helios. You have to think—”“I don't fucking care! All I want is to see her!” he yelled.Grant sighed. “I will look for her again. But I am telling you, it’s so hard. My informant is a skilled one, but still, she’s having a hard time. It seems like someone is hiding her—”“Don’t add bullshit to your shit, Grant!”Grant frowned. “I am your cousin, but you’re telling me those things?”Helios glared at Grant. “Don’t make me say that you’re useless.”Grant let out a soft chuckle. “But you already said it. Whatever, pussy-whipped. I will find your girl,” he said and was about to turn around when Helios spoke.
