The tyres of his car made noises as it scrunched up small pieces of stones in the process of entering into the driveway and slowing down to a stop a few distances away from his porch steps.The grey van was nowhere to be found, but Tony was sure it was close, lurking somewhere. Of course, it would be stupid to follow him into his driveway. He ensured his car door was locked before strolling up his porch steps and unlocking his front door. Inside, he didn't lock the door on purpose. Before the doorway that introduced its visitors to the living room was a small area for removing shoes, hanging coats and a board of wood carved into a design and attached to a wall somewhere in the middle on top which you can place things like car keys. Tony felt underneath the wood with his palm and pulled out a gun, tucking it into the waistband of his pants around his back area and grabbed the bat propped up at a corner. He also pulled off his shoes but ksdt his socks on. His ears picked up sounds fro

Ethan noticed something around Drogo's jaw area. He leaned forward from his side of the table and squinted, focusing his vision on that part. “When did you start using makeup?”“Huh?” Drogo blinked.Ethan pursed his lips, stood and stretched and an arm to touch his jaw with his fingers. “Ow!” Drogo winced and hissed.Ethan dropped back into his chair with a demanding look. “Explain what's going on? Why do you have concealer on your jaw and why does it hurt?” He asked, although he was already doing some calculations in his head. Whatever happened, Drogo had gotten punched in the jaw.Drogo realized that he couldn't hide what happened to his master most especially because he didn't want Ethan to start digging around and land in some mess. His life was precious.“My boss in a side job I got a job that he wanted to handle himself but he took me along just in case. We were asked to take out a target.”“As in…” Ethan made a gesture with his hand cutting the base of his neck.“Yes. Our clie

“Sssss haaaaa!” Tony sucked in air through his teeth and released it with his mouth open as he fell into place directly behind Richard, who was trying so hard not to show he was intimidated by his presence. A million thoughts ran through Richard's head. What had happened? What had gone wrong? Did Vanders fail again? “Incompetent bastard!” Richard cussed under his breath.“Excuse me?” Tony lengthened his stride so that in two steps, he was standing in front of Richard, blocking his path. Tony cocked his head to the side.“I wasn't talking to you.”“I thought as much.” Tony smiled and patted Richard's shoulder, turned sideways, and stretched out an arm silently, telling Richard to proceed their journey to he main house.“Isn't it a beautiful day? What do I give an old woman on a courtesy visit?” Tony asked, his tone sincerely curious. Your dead body would make the perfect gift! Richard answered him in his head but kept his lips sealed shut against each other. They were almost at the

~About a week after~It always boiled down to this after the first opening sixty minutes or so. Meeting people you know and then getting introduced to people you don't know, forming connections and exchanging contacts but for Isabel, it was different. She was stuck in this circle of self-centered braggarts called her extended family.It was the annual Family and Friends Rainfall Networking Party organized by the Elites. The Logan family was the host his year and had donated the open space at the back of the main house for that cause. Of course there were reporters, what's the use of a private networking party if it doesn't put them in the spotlight and stir envy and rejection in the hearts of those not invited. The Family and Friends Rainfall networking Party was organized every year by the Elites and originally each family took turns playing host each year but somehow it started to circulate only within The Five. The purposes of the event was to celebrate their achievement so far i

Ruby turned around at the mention of her full name. A woman dressed in an off-shoulder jumpsuit with beach blonde hair and red lipstick watched her with full grey eyes. Ruby doesn't recall ever meeting this woman anywhere but she felt familiar. She urged her brain to think of where she must have seen her. “I don't believe we've met.” Ruby eventually settled for that when her brain came up with zero results. The woman chuckled and took two steps forward, her heels clicked against the paved floor. “Of course not. I'm Lorena Vega.” She stretched a hand out for a handshake.Lorena Vega, Ruby mused over that name in her head as she took the extended hand. Now that sounded insanely familiar.“Lorena Vega,” Ruby drawled out, hoping it would strike a chord. Few seconds after, it did and with a gasp and her eyes filled with enlightenment, she turned back to look at the woman who had a small close-lipped smile plastered on her face. “Vega Beauty?” Lorena didn't need to nod to affirm her que
