Quinn."So, Quinn. What's the best part of the Island that you like? Choose the one that reminds you of something here."Reeve stood up, smiling at me. I find him easygoing and attractive. His personality suits well with how he smiles. Very friendly."Uhm, the sea, of course. The white sand, the crystal waters and everything, I guess.""No. You have to choose one. Choose the one that made an impact on you."My eyes narrowed, thinking thoroughly. I have to get this right. Reeve promise to give me something that I can use here for survival."Okay. Uhm, I hate to say this because I don't really like those thorny weeds around the middle of the Island. But I guess they're the one that leaves an impact towards me."Yes, that was the first time Xavion had noticed me. It was also the first time we had interacted after all that had happened."You mean the ugly thorny hard weeds in the middle? Did it get you?"I nodded with a big smile."Geez, you are funny, Quinn." Both of his hands were now

Xavion."Now that you made your choice, you should know what's coming, right?" Bryce's jaw tightened as he looked at me seriously.I whirled around, avoiding an answer to give him. I'm still thinking of my next move. I have to be careful this time because too complicated."I don't think it will get complicated anyway. Just play dead. That's the best course you should do," he suggested. He is now beside me, drinking his beer."Quinn's father threatens all his enemies to attack them if they don't get Quinn back. He suspected that Quinn had been taken captive by one of their adversaries. However, the search has been temporarily suspended based on Dominique's recommendation."I furrowed my brows and locked eyes with Bryce."They didn't know where to start searching, and their announcement made every mafia in the low-rank gang together to fight them. That's why Dominique suggested stopping searching for Quinn and staying low is the most proficient way, as they don't want to make more enem

Quinn . "Come on, guys. Is there no hug and a kiss? A farewell hug?" Reeve played a joke on us, and Xavion shook his head. He is smiling a little bit. "You dickhead. You take care of Quinn, okay?" "Of course, I will, Xav. You can depend on me. So, is that it? Not even a single kiss for me?" Reeve presented his cheeks, hinting for Xavion to kiss them, while Bryce chuckled and placed his hands on Reeve's hips. "Damn love hearts. I hate seeing people like this." Bryce mouthed, and then he turned around and grabbed the remaining things. He is heading towards the direction where the helicopter's location. I let out a sigh as I gazed at Xavion, hoping for his eye contact. However, it never came. I had been staring at him for an hour, but he seemed to be purposely avoiding me. "You know what to do, right?" Xavion's arm looped around Reeve's neck, and Reeve coughed slightly. "Y-Yes, alright. You don't have to choke me," he complained. And Xavion let go of him. He then looks at me in

Xavion."I'm glad you're back. It was a surprise you got stranded on that Island for several days," he said with a smirk, "Knowing you as my son, even after two days of being stranded alone, you can't be at ease until one of your cousins arrives to rescue you." Dad looks at me suspiciously.I gritted my teeth and looked at his eyes thoughtfully. "I was having fun, Dad. The typhoon arrived, and it hit the Island. I ended up cleaning the post and the surroundings. I instructed the boys on the materials that I needed. That's why the rescue took a while," I answered, looking at him without a trace of fear."I see," he nodded. He took a step closer to me this time."What about your mission? I've heard you showed up in Dalton with Bryce. What's that all about? You didn't tell me you joined the lowly kind mafia's world bidding party?" His jaw clenches, and his eyes aim at me like a bullet. I gritted my teeth but never shifted my gaze."Brandon was there, Dad. I followed him, and Bryce arran

Xavion . "What the hell is this all about?" My mouth parted when I saw the boys in circles. The look in their eyes the moment they saw me stepping inside scared the shit living daylight of my fucking life. "Xavion Xavier Mondragon, man! It's finally over." Atticus strode closer towards me, and his arm instantly looped around my neck. "Damn, you're taller than me. Stop growing all right." He messed up with my hair in circles, and the boys laughed. "Fucking hell. I want to know what's this all about?" "Reeve!?" I uttered bitterly and looked in his direction. He is now hiding behind Bryce. "Dammit!" I ducked in as Norman and Conrad came flying towards me. "Shit. Hell." I swore as I protect myself from their kung-fu, not-so-funny moves. They all want to mess up my hair and my effing clothes. "So, tell me, what do you want, Xav? What do you want from all of us?" Drew chuckled, and everyone paused. Conrad and Norman let go of me. "Lucky bastard," Norman winked and shook his head.
