His Legacy Grace to Grass
Yeah! Rica completely lost it. Steven shook his head, backing off her. “I will never do that. That’s brutal! What will you gain by killing children?”“I do not care about them anymore!” She screamed. “Since I cannot get my own, I do not care about anyone else’s. I want you to freaking kill them! All four of them.”“I will not do your dirty business for you Rica. I won’t let you harm those children either.” She frowned. “Look, there is a non-violent way we can handle this. It’s possible he didn’t know we were scammed.”“If that’s the case,” she threw her phone at him, “why isn’t he answering his phone? I called him 50 times.”“Do not resort to violence.”“O! Shut the crap up!” She took her phone and called Rodriguez. Rodriguez responded unlike her other boys who ghosted her. “Yes, boss,” his deep voice said.“Follow me on a mission. I want us to kill someone.”Rodriguez scoffed.“You must be kidding. We are starving here ma’am. We cannot fight on empty stomachs.”“I only want you to
His Legacy Fool ones
Dead in the night, his phone rang nonstop with Harrison’s call. Steven trembled with fright. Sweat sprinkled down his forehead as he kept gazing at his phone screen. He couldn’t cut the call nor could he keep his lips sealed. Not after what Rica did. Running away would only prove he is more guilty. He took a deep breath and picked up the call.“Count your days, Steven! Count your fucking days!” Harrison’s deep voice threatened the call. “Harrison, listen….”“Three….”“Harrison, this was Rica’s doing. I didn’t do….”“Two….”“What are you doing? Harrison….”“One!”There was multiple gunshots, breaking glass windows and forcing open doors. Rica smartly forced him down and they snuck their way out of the room. “What is this about?” She asked, as they snuck to the basement. It was their safe site for then. “You are asking me? I wasn’t one who killed a child!”“Stop whining like a damn child!”She typed in the password and they walked in. “Maybe we should change the password from 1234?”
His Legacy My one and only
“Are you fine?” Rica asked. “We cannot go there anymore.” Steven tapped the driver to stop.“What do you mean?”“Harrison has tracked us to the guesthouse. We need to turn around.”“How do you know? Did you speak to him?”Steven was quiet. She growled with anger and switched her destination on the map. “How can you be so stupid? He will ask my father for the closest apartment I will flee to for sure. Didn’t you turn off your location?”“I did.”“Then how do you know he tracked us?”Steven couldn’t say what he didn’t. Rica would kill him for sure. “Better safe than sorry.”They stayed overnight at a hotel. Rica could barely sleep as she researched where else they could go. “We should flee the country. I will get us fake passports.” Rica suggested. Steven disapproved.“I am going nowhere.”“It’s not a choice. We have to go. I am with your mother.”Steven had had enough of her empty threats.“Will you stop with the old threats? It is getting annoying.”She dialled a number and paced
His Legacy Has to escape
Steven was nervous Anita narrowly caught him. But he needed to be smart about it. He couldn’t let her ruin him. “I didn’t mention that name.” He denied. Rica was fuming.“After everything I have done for you, Steven. After every fucking thing, you are still seeing that lady.” Steven calmed her.“You heard things. I didn’t mention Anita.”“O! You keep your mouth shut! I am not stupid! How long have you been seeing her? Where does she stay?”“Rica, I swear there is no Anita.”She took her phone and began to dial a number. “Tell me or I will kill your mother.” “Why are you not listening to me? There is no freaking Anita.” “You have made a grave mistake, Steven. A grave one!”As she dialed the number, Steven slapped her on the face, causing her to fall on her side and her phone slid off her grip. “Hello, boss.” A deep voice said at the other end. “Kill that bitch!” Rica screamed. “Excuse me? Hello….”Steven cut the call promptly and closed Anita’s mouth, to prevent her from talk
His Legacy The cold man he is
Steven shouldn’t be weakened by an old friend. Unfortunately, it was too late. His two arms were on his sides with the oddest expression on his face. “Steven, are you okay?” Anita asked, waving her hands before his eyes. He said nothing, “We meet again,” Phineas smirked with his gun pointed at him. “I thought you fucking left the mafia!” “I did, but Rica invited me back. She wanted me to take care of Mrs Gold here.” Phineas bowed before his mum in respect. Mrs Gold frowned. “This guy is horrible.” “I promise Mrs Gold, I was just doing my job. The pay was good.” Steven raised a brow. Perhaps, Rodriguez was right. A devil known is better than an Angel unknown. He sharply pointed his gun at Phineas.“You are a sneaky demon!” He spat.“As I said, it is all about the hustling. Your mother is a sweetheart. She makes me feel right.”“What do you mean?” “I watch her naked in the bathroom.”Steven furiously shot Phineas, but Phineas dodged and shot Anita on the heart. Anita fell inst
His Legacy Rage
The gate’s doorbell rang. This confused Steven. Anita didn’t tell anyone of the guesthouse, did she? He pulled out his gun and tiptoed to the door. He activated the security camera beside the door. He was confused at the sight of a familiar face. He swore he saw that person somewhere. He wasn’t sure where. The person carried something. He opened the door and stepped outside. The person struck more resemblance to him. It was Vicky! Anita’s neighbor. The lady grinned naively and held Bonnie in her carrier. “O! It’s you, Mr Steven.” She sounded cheerful. “Is Anita in? She forgot Bonnie with me.” Steven shut the door at her face and began to walk back inside. “Wait! Is she your daughter?” Vicky yelled from the gate. “Why don’t you take her? She keeps crying nonstop. She wants Anita now.” Steven shut the door behind him and locked his door. He sat on the door, traumatized by this new stage of his life. A baby? How was he supposed to take care of her? He doesn’t know anything about Bonn
His Legacy Bonus
Steven fumed. The guards were useless. How the hell did Rica get to them? He froze her account. She couldn't have paid them.” He furiously chartered a cab. Damn! He needed to get a car soon. “Your mafias are corrupt. Where did you get those idiots?” He scolded Rodriguez.“What’s wrong?”“Rica got into my home! It is security guarded with a code. There was no way she got in without opening the door.”“This is on me. I apologise”Steven entered the compound and frowned at the sight of the guards dead. That explained it. But who let them in? Vicky didn’t dare. The pin still worked fine showing it wasn’t hacked at all. The security camera worked great. No alarm was set off. “Relax, Steven. I am just a guest here.” Rica said, running her hand on Bonnie’s hair. “The guards allowed me in. Unfortunately, I am not the nicest person in the world.”Bonnie stopped crying and gave up fighting her. She turned to Steven and protruded her hands to be carried. “Vicky, get her.” Steven looked away w
His Legacy Bonnie
Vicky (Third Person’s POV)Vicky gave her husband Donald Gree his meal and hurried to get her own. Since he arrived from his long trip to Paris, she barely got time for him. The excuse she gave Steven was the only chance she’s got. It's been two days since his stay, but the thought of Bonnie poked him for some reason. He hated the idea of Vicky carrying another man’s burden. They were only married for a year and still enjoying the honeymoon phase. Taking care of a child was nothing they prepared for. Bonnie constantly being the center of Vicky’s attention scared her husband. As they settled to eat, Bonnie dragged herself in her stroller and stared at them. Her face looked pale white and sick. Vicky felt a bit concerned but needed to attend to her husband first. “More Chicken?” She asked. “Yes, love.” He smiled in a flirting way. She blushed and offered him the chicken with a kitchen tong. His hand grabbed hers and caressed it a bit. She blushed and pulled away. Her eyes went to Bo

Familiar Faces
Vicky didn’t hang up her call with Maria. She left it active, hoping to feel Maria’s presence with her as she receives his diagnosis.“Girl, relax okay?” She heard Maria say over the phone. Vicky took a deep breath, trying to be calm.“What is it doctor?” She eventually asked. “He is stable now,” Vicky heaved a sigh of relief with her hand to her chest. She sat back on the chair, thanking God for saving his life. “We were able to flush the pill out of his system. There is an issue though…,” the doctor said. She stopped rejoicing and turned swiftly to him. “He may be unconscious for a couple of hours. The pill really messed with his brain, so it will take a while for his body to get back to normal.”“At least he is fine, that’s all that matters to me.” She said, ignoring the rest of the doctor’s facts. “If I may ask, are you his wife? We need a family member to sign some documents later,” he asked. She felt off by the question. Maria cleared her throat, causing her to feel a bit pi
Deeper than you think
Vicky laid on her back that night, staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t stop thinking about Steven’s indifference towards her rants that evening. He seemed chill, happier and friendlier than she ever knew him. She turned to her side and gazed at a beautiful painting of an enormous garden. A painting she barely notices since she’s been so busy with Bonnie. Perhaps all Steven needed was a friend and someone to speak to, she thought. He might be lonely and in need of some to converse with. But his freaking ego would not let him admit him. Well, it wasn’t her own headache. She came for Bonnie and that was it. The next day, she made herself a cup of green tea in the kitchen, before stepping outside admiring the greenery. The emergency lock down was over. Good thing she could visit Maria and forget these depressing lives for a while. Her thought went to her husband as she stepped back into the house to get her bag. She hadn’t heard from him since their last argument. Well, she hoped he wa
His Loneliness
Vicky nodded and began. “She was helpless when I first saw her,” Vicky said with an emotional tone. “I remember when Mr Chang brought her for the first time. She was scared, vulnerable and felt sick. We all thought she was going to die. It turned out she had been roaming the streets for hours and had nowhere to go. She was three months pregnant at that time. The landlord promised to give her a free apartment for a while, and made her vow to start paying once she gets a job. Anita made that promise. She was very beautiful, Steven. Not only was she beautiful, she was the most hardworking lady I have ever seen too. She was so fond of her daughter and I remember her smiles anytime Bonnie kicked in her stomach. She became my best friend the first time I saw her.” Steven felt deeply hurt by Vicky’s words. He wasn’t there for Bonnie when she needed him the most. He couldn’t believe she suffered so much like that. “She is an amazing lady. You fell in love with your match, Steven,” Vicky co
Anita
Anita walked down the empty road, nervous and scared. She had nowhere else to go and she’d considered her employment at Mr Jones house lucky. How wrong she was! If only she hadn’t placed all her eggs in one basket. Perhaps, she would have found an alternative place to lay for the night. Her arm was wrapped around her. She trembled with fear and she could barely walk any further. Luckily for her, a car pulled over beside her and her guardian came to her rescue. It was Mr Chang. An old man she helped a few weeks ago while he was stranded under the rain. “What are you doing here all alone?” He asked with concern. She had tears rolling down her cheeks. He opened his car for her to get in and she hesitated at first. “Trust me,” he smiled.Since there was no other choice, she got in and cleared the tears on her cheek. “Thank you,” she appreciated. “What are you doing stranded her?” He asked “My boss' daughter wants to kill me,” she confessed. “I have nowhere to go.” Mr Chang didn’t
The Lockdown
Bonnie wasn’t confident about going with Mrs Gold. As Vicky packed her necessities into her baby bag, the child gazed at her with nervous anticipation. “O! Bonnie! It is just for a few days,” Vicky shut the bag, brushing away her analysis. Bonnie was just a year and half old. The child was too young to know what was right and wrong. Vicky hung the bag on her shoulder and carried Bonnie in her arm. “Come on, my princess! You will be back before you know it.”She gave Bonnie to Mrs Gold and handed her the bag. “All her items are in there. She loves to have her milk oat and she takes her baby food at 8pm every night. She doesn’t like cold showers and she enjoys a solemn lullaby before sleep. She hates the air conditioner and does enjoy loud noises. She loves to move around in Walker when she is awake and…,” “It’s fine, Vicky,” Mrs Gold interrupted her with a short laugh. “I have taken care of her a couple of times, so I know all this. There is no need to teach me how to take care of my
The Proposal
Vicky watched the girls enter the police van as they were taken for interrogation. She smiled with pride as she reminisced about what she had done. She got Tory to speak! O! Goodness! Who would have thought.“You did good,” Steven said as he joined her where she stood. She smiled with a relieved look. “I have never done this before,” she confessed, folding her arms. “I was really nervous. I thought I was going to upset them.”“Luckily you did not,” he said with his eyes focused on the van. “If you had, you would have faced me. You know how that ends, don’t you?”He was such a mood killer. Was that a nice time to threaten her? Vicky rolled her eyes, ignoring what he said. He didn’t want her response anyway. “You should have more faith in yourself, Vicky,” he continued. “If you do, you can go really far.”“I have faith in myself. You needn’t teach me that. It is just difficult to deal with a man like you. I cannot satisfy you no matter what I do. You scare me most of the time,” Vicky
Tory
Vicky felt his touch send an electric shock through her. She hid her blush and took her hands sharply from his grip. “It’s fine,” she said, placing it in her pocket. He sat at the corner of the room, opening a bottle of water and she approached the girls. “Hey,” she drew a stool closer and sat before them. “How are you all coping?”“My name is Maria,” the mother figure among them said, drawing closer to Vicky. “I heard all that happened, Maria. It is fine, you can tell me anything. My name is Vicky. I work with Steven,” Vicky pointed at Steven, who gave them a wave. “He is a very good guy,” Maria smiled and the others agreed. “He wanted to risk his life for us. I have never seen anyone who would do that. It is very rare to find, I swear. All I find is a bunch of selfish humans. He ignored the whole inconvenience and fought hard for us.” Vicky wasn’t surprised. “Even though he doesn’t admit it, I know he is good inside,” she said.“Villains have their good moments,” Steven's voic
The task
Vicky heard Steven race down the stairs as she closed the kitchen cabinets and refilled the salt shaker. She promptly peaked from the side of the door to see what was happening. To her shock, there was nothing much. It was just Steven saying something to himself and grabbing his coat. The temperature already dropped that morning. It was most likely freezing cold by then . Thank God for the house heater which saved them lots of trouble. She could tell he was still his pain as he limped to the door with his phone pressed to his ears. She leaned against the door with her hands to her chest. The previous night slid into her mind sharply. He was hurt. What makes him think it was smart to drive in that condition? She couldn’t let him go like that. At least for Bonnie's sake. She came out of her hiding area and cleared her throat, pretending to wipe her hand with her handkerchief.“What?” He asked, turning back to her. She stroked her arm softly. Their experience the previous night made h
Next Steps
Vicky hummed a song as she prepared Bonnie’s meal. She used the song to distract herself from Steven’s thoughts. But with time, she stopped singing and groaned. It was freaking 10pm in the evening. Why wasn’t he there yet? If it was her who came that late, he would have scolded her. She took the baby food she prepared for Bonnie and went to the sitting room where Bonnie played with her stroller toys. “Alright, my darling,” Vicky smiled, pecking her on the cheeks. “Time for your dinner.”Bonnie’s eyes stared at the plate and her tongue stuck out as she danced happily. Vicky laughed. “You and food, huh? Inseparable,” Vicky pulled her cheeks softly. “I love you, my baby girl.”She carefully gave her a spoon of baby food and offered her another. Vicky's eyes went to the door as her heart raced against her chest. She was tense and she could not tell why. She had a very bad feeling about something. An unexplainable strong gut feeling. But as usual, feelings like that were irrational. She
