Rayven just entered the convenience store when a young boy bumped into him, causing him to stumble a little. “Hey Watch it, will you?” He yelled at the frantic teenager but he never looked back at him to apologize. Rave shook his head in disappointment. “Fucking teenagers. They really don’t have any sense of respect to people older than them.” He checked his pocket if his wallet was still there. He let out a sigh of relief and continued to walk in the convenience store. He just needs to grab some supplies and go home to rest. It’s Friday but he was not in the mood to go to the bar to drink his ass out. He wanted to take a rest this weekend.He just entered the store when he saw a man with blood all over his shirt dropped on the floor. The loud thud echoed inside the empty store. “Hey! Are you alright?” Rayven rushed to the man’s side and he cursed under his breath when he saw the man’s situation. This man needs medical attention as soon as possible. His eyes went down to the shir

Delicious bacon and freshly brewed coffee was the first thing that assaulted his senses. Does that mean that he’s still alive, right? He’s sure as hell there’s no coffee or bacon in heaven. He’s alive, and Simon was grateful that he is. He remained his eyes closed and uttered a silent prayer for the fourth chance to live. He was not sure who to thank but he’s grateful anyway. Ever so slowly, Simon opened his eyes. He expected white paints on the walls, but he’s mistaken. He stared at the ceiling, and his mind processed that he’s not in the hospital. Before he blacked out, he wished that whoever had the heart to help him would not bring him to the hospital, and it happened. He began to scan the place. It’s a woman’s room, he can tell by the color of the walls and the decorations and curtains. He tried to move, and he groaned. His ribcage hurt, and realization dawned on him. He was wounded on that part. He looked down to see a bondage on his wound and an IV connected to his left

Addison let out a shaky breath as she looked up at the tall building in front of her. “Sky Palace Hotels.” She read the name of the building. It’s still hard to process in her mind that the owner of that building, a very wealthy bachelor, was in her apartment, recovering from the accident that he just had. More likely another ambush, not an accident. “You can do this, Addie.” She consoled herself. This is what she wants, right? She wanted a thrill in her life, something that would make her blood boil in excitement. This is actually nothing, compared to what she imagined, but it will do. She crossed the street and headed towards the grand entrance of the hotel. The guards greeted her and they gave her an ID card that would identify her as an applicant. “Thank you, sir.” She gave the man a smile and she proceeded to the lobby to ask. “Miss, I am one of the applicants for today’s job interview.” Addison made sure to cover her blonde hair. She used dark brown hair and artificial h

After cleaning his wound, Simon tried his best to cook dinner. Addison will be arriving soon, and as a gratitude for doing him a favor he wanted to cook her food. As annoying as she is, Simon could feel that Addison is a good person and he trusted her not to reveal his identity to his enemies. He just hoped that she’ll be back safely and nothing happened to her while doing his favor. It will never sit well on him if someone got hurt because of him. His wound was healing quickly, thanks to Addison’s care and assistance. The woman had been very considerate to him. He glanced at the clock that was mounted on the wall. It’s already four in the afternoon. She should be back by now. There was this worry that was creeping inside him but he shoved it away. “You’re overthinking again, Simon. She’s fine and she will come later. She’ll be here in a few minutes now. Just take it easy, will you?” He tried to calm himself and cooked for dinner. It’s a good thing that he knew how to cook, at

Addison looked at the man who just arrived. He looked young, she expected someone as old as Federico. “Are you sure you’re not followed?” That was Federico’s first question. He didn’t even ask if the man was fine or not. She guessed it’s just how everything works for them. Federico mentioned death, and the best thing to deal with death was not to get attached to the people around you. So, if death comes, it won’t be that hard to let go of the person whom you’re not emotionally attached with. “Who is this beauty here? New girl, Federico?” The man named Ryzen smirked. “No, fucker. She Addison, Salvatorre’s friend.” “Hi,” Addison offered her hand for a shake. “I’m Addison Harper.” The man stared at her longer than he should, it was like he was trying to remember something. “Wait, I think I know you. You’re that woman in the pages, right? You’re a writer in the Sentinel, am I right?” There was excitement in his voice when he recognized Addison. She nodded and gave him a smile.
