Gian went outside to pick up the call. His mood rotten as soon as he heard the report that there will be another schedule for illegal human trafficking tomorrow night.The mastermind of this was no other than Odeen Slyvia, A.K.A Spade.‘Even after killing the boss, he's making another trouble. That sh*t doesn't want me to rest,’ Gian whispered to himself through his clenched teeth.[ “The deal will happen tomorrow night, Sir Gian. It will take place near the 4th Harbor,”] the man continued his report.Soughing air, Gian asked, “What is the estimated time of the deal?”[ “10 pm. The ship which will hold the goods will arrive at 9pm. Then it will sail one hour after.” ] “Where is Kija?” Gian inquired.[ “We haven’t seen him today, boss. Do you want me to find him?” ]Gian sighed. Finding Kija was one of the most challenging tasks for Gian. It was because the kid was very unpredictable.“Never mind. Finding that kid is a waste of time. I will go to the place tonight.”[ “Do you need me
Xavier looked behind him and saw Louisa. She was wearing a thin nightgown as she crossed her arms. She looks like a cat about to raise her claws.“Good evening, mother,” Xavier greeted.“Hah! What’s good about meeting each other tonight? Seeing you will never be pleasant,” Louisa answered.Suddenly, there was a delicate atmosphere in the air, thin as ice that could be shattered at any moment. Between Xavier and Louisa, a silent war raged. The subtle desire of each person to advance or defend was concealed on their facades.The maid held her breath while watching. She does not want to meddle between the feud of the foster son and the second wife. However, she lost any chance to escape.“That’s right,” Xavier agreed to Louisa's statement after a long time. “My mother won’t be happy to see me, I know that.”Louisa’s face crumpled as she heard him call her that way again.How brazen, Louisa thought.“I don’t remember allowing you to call me ‘mother’. I did not give birth to trash.”“Ahh
Louisa swept her table, throwing all things she treasured. The bonsai tree she's been raising for five years hit the floor and a crashing noise echoed in the room. Broken pieces of ceramic vase scattered on the floor and the carpet. From her bloodshot eyes which were always calmed, show blossoming resentment. A great anger thrummed through her veins, pulsing and pounding. Her face was all red, she looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. “Damn!” she cursed and slammed the table once again. The maid standing in front of the room heard the crashing noises which didn't seem to subside. Their shoulders stiffened as they prayed that Louisa would not take her anger on them. Louisa always tried to be composed wherever she is. But this time, she failed to hold her pacific. Of course, she blamed it all on the guy who spoke words that were as fierce as fire. [“I think you should not forget your position here too, Madam. That you will always be the second. You told me that I am not

On which they called “Supreme.”Everyone was in high spirits, as they believed that this would be their last chance to revive the company. That includes the new CEO.Xavier was stuck in the office, reviewing all the debts documents the Black E-commerce owned by the Black Finance company. The person who’s
Inside the warehouse, countless kids were tied together in ropes. They were all kidnapped by the Spade’s men.These healthy kids will be sold to China. They will either have their organs out or work in bars as prostitute slaves.For these kids, there are no hope. Everyone was crying, regretting their decisions. Most of them were kidnapped while they were playing outside the house. Some were on their way home from school. Others got separated from their parents in the public space. Over all, these young kids regretted letting themselves away from their parents.They understood how the world works when they were held captives with no proper foods, ventilation and sanitation.They kept on praying that sooner or later, their parents would come and pick them up from this dirty place filled with evil men. However, days passed, but they were still locked here.There is no hope, they thought.But among the kids, a 15-year-old girl, named Merly, thinks differently from the others.She does not
Xavier and Gian finished freeing the kids from the ropes around their hands and feet. After that, Gian looked at the children, who were holding their sobs.“Listen young brats,” Gian said. “The door is open. If you keep running towards the right side, you can see the main exit of this place. Run as much as you can and never look back. If you are lucky, you’ll live.”The kids looked at each other. From this time onwards, each of them is on their own.“Those who are old enough, guide the young one and make sure they won’t make a noise. Understand?” Gian asked.The oldest kids in the group nodded their heads.“Now, go.”One by one, they started to run and exited the warehouse.As the children made their way out, Xavier saw a boy on the ground. He was beaten by the two men a moment ago and now, he cannot move an inch.Looking at the pitiful kid, Xavier remembered his son, Simon, who was also around the kid’s age. Thinking this, he felt empathetic towards the boy.“Leave it,” Gian said whe
Huff… Huff… Merly breathed heavily while crawling back. The kid she carried on her back died. Other kids successfully escaped the port, but because she offered help, she was stuck in this place.‘And probably, I will die here!’ Merly thought.“Be thankful kid,” the man, who was holding the knife, said. “Dying like this is better than being sold.”Merly agreed to that a moment ago. Instead of working as a prostitute or having her stomach opened, she said she would rather die in this place. But now that she’s standing in front of the gate of death, she realized that she still wanted to live.‘I am scared! I don’t want to die! Please! Please someone save me! Please!’ Oddly, Merly remembered the two masked men who came to save the kids. She wished that the two men were still here and saved her once again.Save her?Why would they save a lowly girl like her?Bit by bit, Merly accepted that only stupid people would take the risk to shield the blade that was coming in her way.‘I must al
“A frightened girl, a dead child, a guard kneeling on the ground and an unknown man who turned his head away from me. What is this?” Brethart, Haiden’s brother, asked while pointing a gun towards Xavier’s back. Xavier was told that this port was being used by one of the Mafia’s Capo, Spade. In case, he thought he might encounter the boss’ enemy here. But it wasn’t Spade, nor anyone from the Mafia family. Instead, the youngest son of the Black family made his appearance. ‘Why? Why is Brethart here?’ Xavier shouted inwardly while keeping his head facing the North. “Wait, Sir! You can’t k-kill him!” the guard, who had a fight with Xavier, warned Brethart. Xavier could not look back, but with the guard’s warning, he knew that Brethart was holding a gun in his hand, and that he almost shot his back. “Why can’t I shoot him?” Brethart asked the guard. The guard, who works under Spade management, looked at Xavier’s back. The Mafia boss came here with a mask on his face; on which said th
