Special Chapter: Strike One

Gabriel's"Crimson, we're adding more for 4 persons." I told Crimson after I hung up the call with Mew."Noted, Maze's Wifey." I ignored his remark and peeked at the living room where Nathan is playing with his One Piece action figures and I smiled upon seeing how careful he is as he arranges the toys above the centre table.He sure knows how to take care of such collector's items.It was then the doorbell rang and I frowned.I didn't think that Maze would be that fast to arrive home. Today's quite a busy day so I supposed they'll be a bit stuck in the traffic. But then I shrugged off and looked at Crimson who's still busy cooking. Well, he volunteered to cook the steak so I let him. So I dared not to bother him anymore and just went straight outside to open the gate. Not realizing that it would be the most stupid and wrongest thing I did today. I stood frozen as I saw a tall guy wearing black clothes in front of me. And he's certainly not my husband. Nor Jake, First or Heine. Ca

Chapter 9

Crimson's"His vitals are now stable. The bullet was removed safely, and luckily, it didn't hit any vital organs or else it could've been fatal." I told Maze whilst putting back my things inside my bag. Becka, whom I just found out to be a registered nurse and not really a babysitter but a personal bodyguard in disguise helped me with the sanitation of the equipment we used to remove the bullet from Gabriel's left abdomen. His body was in a state of shock which is one of the factors why he lost consciousness. Maze didn't answer and just stared at Gab's sleeping figure. We chose to just treat Gabriel's wound at home since I am a doctor and we also have a nurse in the house. That's more than enough to help him. And besides, we know for a fact that the hospital is not safe either. I looked at Maze intently and guilt, anger and pain was written all over his face. I've already asked Heather and Royce to look for more men to help us secure the house, not only Maze's family but our frien

Chapter 10

Crimson'sThe next morning, news about a dead body that was found in front of The King's Empire building is everywhere.Nobody dared to talk about it while we're having our breakfast.Maze had invited the three guys to join us for breakfast. But since Gab is still unconscious, Maze said that we can eat without him whilst Becka took care of Nathan who's still a bit scared until now.Well, what can we expect? He just heard gunshots for the first time and his dad was shot and lost consciousness in front of him. That's quite a hard pill to swallow for a young boy like him.But I must admit that Maze made the right decision to hire Becka cause she's able to easily coax Nathan and they get along with each other quite well. And I can see that Becka is really good at what she does. Otherwise, she wouldn't be an in-demand bodyguard based on what Heine said. Though, I'm still skeptical because she's more like a model or a child of a politician. I was about to drink my coffee when my phone star

Chapter 11

Gabriel'sMaze and I stared at each other for a solid minute. I'm sure he's still trying to find an answer to my question that would be less hurtful.But that's ridiculous.His dad wants me dead just so he can have him and our son.If that's not painful enough then I don't know anymore. Maybe I'm being dramatic and paranoid cause I feel like everything Maze had told me today were all lies.I'm not dumb. I know it when someone is lying to me and everything that a liar does when they are lying, I've seen it from Maze a while ago. But why would he lie to me? I looked at him intently, waiting for his answer. And yet, I didn't hear a thing. And his silence is enough for me to know his answer. And so, I let go of his hand and nodded slowly as I clenched my jaw. "Gab-""No, it's fine." I beckoned him to stop moving closer and he just stared at me worriedly. "I'm fine. I just need time to be alone." I said and I could feel him staring at me. Funny. How he obviously wanted to go a while

Chapter 12

Maze's"Hey, Bro. Are you okay?" Mark asked as we all sat down at the dining room. I looked at everyone and they were all looking at me, too."Heck, no. I know that Gabriel is already suspecting me and I am absolutely not fine with the fact that he got hurt because of my hell sent father." I said while massaging my temple and all they could do was sigh.They are obviously having a hard time dealing with this shit."You know what, I just don't understand why would your father go to a certain extent to try to kill Gabriel just to take you and Nathan?" Top said and even gestured with his hand.Crimson and I gave each other a knowing look and he shook his head."Mr. King has this obsession of making Maze his heir, probably because he's his only family and he wanted him to be the successor of all his properties and businesses ." First said and I looked at him.He's kinda right.But he did miss something, though.He forgot to say that most of those businesses and properties are illegal.The

Special Chapter: Monster

Special Chapter: Monster Mazon King"Just make sure that you've dispatched the body properly." I said as I took a hit from my tobacco and the guy bowed his head before leaving. I looked at everyone gathered around my office and they were all just waiting for my command. One snap and they would go running to give me what I want. But not just yet. I just did the first strike. It would be too early for strike two. And besides, I already have a plan in mind. Since, it's almost that time of the year. When Maze lost his Mom. And I'm sure that no matter how complicated the situation is, he would go to his mother's grave. For the past years, I've always watched him from afar. I saw how he changed from being a fierce man to being a soft, vulnerable family man, by which I didn't train him to be. I saw how happy he is having Gabriel and their adopted son by his side together with his friends. But that's not what I wanted to see. Especially when I had to back down and give him an i

Chapter 13

Gabriel's "Have you seen your Dad?" I asked Nathan as he snuggled up against me carefully just so he won't hurt my wound. I wrapped him inside my left arm as I was lying at the left side of the bed. It's been three days since Maze hasn't slept with me in our room. And I have let him because I'm also not sure if I can have another conversation with him after he lied to me. And everytime that I try to ask where he is, Crimson and Becka would say that he's at the study room and I know very well why he stays there.He filed an indefinite leave from his work and the endorsement for his clients have long been done.He stays at the study room not only because he knows that I'm upset at him and he's probably giving me some space to calm down.He also stays there because that's the place where he had kept everything about his mom.I felt a pang of guilt as I remembered that it's almost the time of the year.Maze needed love all the time and I'm dead sure that I've never failed to make him f

Chapter 14

Maze'sWeeks passed and oddly, my Father didn't do anything stupid.I would like to think that he got my message very clear after I sent the dead gunman to him and he finally decided to backed down but I'm not dumb and naive.I know that he's up to something.Could it be that he's just letting me right now cause it's Mom's Death anniversary, I don't know.But he hasn't done anything yet after the attempt to kill Gabriel which makes me feel perturbed.I just woke up and is still in bed with Gabriel. I was the first one to wake up, that's why I'm watching him sleep freely.And just by seeing him peacefully sleeping beside me made me smile. I would like to think that it's going to be a good day but I'm sure it's not. Cause it's the day when I lost my Mom. The day when my estranged father called me and told me that my mom was gone and she took her own life. And the pain I'm feeling right now makes me feel like it just happened yesterday. I feel like I went back to that day as I stare

Special Chapter: Strike Two

Gabriel's We all stopped in our tracks when I saw a huge funeral flower just beside Maze's Mom's grave.And it's not the usual funeral flower.The flowers are black.I looked at Maze worriedly and saw how his face darkened.And I know that there's only one person who would do this.But why?It's his wife's death anniversary!The very least he can do for his wife is to respect her grave.But I know for a fact that those flowers are not really for Mom.And black flowers conveys a not so good meaning.One of its meaning is death and hatred.'What the fuck is wrong with you, Mr. King?!'I clenched my jaw as I took Maze's hand.He suddenly snapped out of his deep thinking and he looked at me.It's obvious that he's upset and he's also mad.And I understand. I also feel the same."Let's go." I moved my heads towards the grave's direction. "Mom's waiting for us." I forced a smile and squeezed his hand softly.He closed his eyes for a while before sighing and nodding at me.He then looked at

Chapter 15

Maze's I looked coldly at the car who tried to run on Gabriel. I'm not supposed to feel any pleasure but I'd be lying if I say that I don't feel satisfied as I stared at the bullet holes made by my gun on the windshield. But since it's tinted, I can't see the person who's inside but that's the least of my concern right now. Cause I still have another problem that needs to be taken care of right away. That's why I shifted my gaze towards the other car. Guessing from the way they do their job, it's a obvious that these guys were a doing a suicide job. They don't care about their lives and just wants to get their job done. That's why the driver of the car didn't even tried to run away when I walked towards it. I can feel my friends looking at me and the security team is also on stand by. I gripped tightly at my gun as the way of how Gabriel looked at me before he went inside the car flashed through my mind. He looks as if he can't recognize me. He looks as if he's staring at
