Abbie gripped the gun in her hand tighter when she heard a few gun fires behind her. Her feet halted and looked back. She was worried, extremely worried for Simon's life. She wanted to go back but she promised him that she would make it out. But part of her wanted to stay with Simon. Mancini intended to kill him, and she would have to trust Simon that he can protect himself and make it out of this damn mansion alive. “Simon…” she whispered. Her feet voluntarily moved to where she came from but suddenly, two huge men appeared in front of her. “There she is! Get her!” One of the men shouted. Fear envelopes Addison's heart. She turned her back and started to run in the opposite direction, away from those men. “Catch her! The boss wants her alive!” She heard their footsteps just behind her. Her heart pounded so hard inside her ribcage, sweat occupied her body and she was shaking from fear. “God, please help me.” She murmured. And then, suddenly, an idea hit inside her head. Sh
“Are you sure they are okay? Didn't you hear all those gun fires inside that mansion? Aren't we going inside to help Simon?” Ryzen was pacing back and forth. They were parked a few yards away from the mansion, based on Simon’s instructions. “Don’t worry about Simon. We all know he’s one tough guy. He has been to hell and back, and he’s still unscathed.”Federico was at the backseat of the car, a gun was resting on his right hand and a lighted cigarette was in between his lips. His eyes were fixed on the mansion. He believed that Simon could handle Mancini. He also believed that Addison will make it out alive together with Simon. Though he and Simon had already had a plan on how to rescue Addison, Federico had something more in his mind.Federico knew that Simon had no plans on killing that motherfucker. He knew him so well. He will not allow blood on his hands, and he will let justice do its work on Mancini. “Haven't you heard those gun fireS? Mancini had hundreds of men inside t
“What are you doing?” Addie stares at thr huge man who just pulled her to the side. Those men who were chasing after her lost their track on her. She heard their desperate voices, trying to blame one another for not being able to catch her.“Where the fuck is that bitch?” She heard one of the men curse and blame his companion. The huge man who helped her. Yes, he helped her because he was really on time when he pulled her and together they hid from one of the open rooms.The man gestured to her to keep her mouth shut. He put his finger on his tight lips, telling her to not make any sound that would compromise them. The footsteps disappeared and Addie released a heavy sigh. She slumped on the floor and closed her eyes. Her heavy breathing can be heard in the silent room. The huge man was just standing in front of her, and Addie didn't care for a second. And then she realized something. Her eyes swung open and she immediately got on her feet and pointed the gun to the man. “You'
When Addie saw that the huge man agreed to her request, she was totally happy.He peaked from the door, ensuring that there's no one there. When he’s sure, he looked back at Addie and said… “Come on, let's get going. We need to go back to Simon.”Addie let out a shaky sigh. She’s nervous. She’s afraid for her life, for Simon's life, and for the life of this new friend of hers. They proceed with the plan, they will go check on Simon and save him from Mancini. Addie knew that there would be more goons coming. Mancini will not let this pass. He has Simon in his hands already, he’s not letting him off the hook. And all they could do was to save Simon from him. “Why are you doing this?” She asked him. Addie was in his back, and he was leading the way. On his left hand was a gun and he also had one tucked on his waist. He really is a huge man. “It’s because I don't wanna do this anymore. Mancini was too much and I will not tolerate it anymore.”Addie nodded in agreement. Yes, she saw
“Whoa. I thought you weren't coming with me?”Ryzen glanced at Federico who was right behind him. The man was all serious. His face was void of any emotions as if he was really in deep thoughts. “Hey? Are you okay, Federico? You seem so serious.” Ryzen nudged him on his shoulder. The two were half running towards the house. Ryzen was a little bit limping, but he didn't seem to care about himself. He’s determined to save both Simon and Addison. “Are you planning something? What are you going to do? Don't tell me you're planning something evil?”Ryzen halted and grabbed Federico's arm. When Federico looked at him, that made him realize that he’s into something big. “What is it? Come on, man. You can't leave me on this one.”Federico pulled his arm and sighed. Yeah. He’s really into something not good. And it might compromise everything. “Just shut up and follow me.”He led the way. Guns were in both of his hands. He’s in total war mode tonight and he’s going to bring hell to an
Simon should have known better, that Mancini will never be Mancini if he won’t play dirty. It took him a few seconds before he felt the numb feeling starting to creep from his abdomen. When Simon looked down, he saw Mancini’s blooded hands, he was holding a small knife embedded into his abdomen. When he looked up to his face, he saw the sinister smile plastered on it. Victory was written all over his face. “Do you think I will let you kill me? You are meant to die in this place, Morelli.” He spatted. Simon started to loss his strength. He backed down and stagered until he dropped on the floor. His visions become blurry. No. He can’t afford to die now. Faces flashed inside his mind. Simon coughed and he tasted his own blood from his mouth. “You…” he can’t find the strength to speak now. Mancini stepped forward until he was standing just in front of Simon. He squatted, his face leveled on his. Without any warning, he pulled the small knife from Simon’s abdomen. Blood gushed
Simon smiled as his gaze stared at the velvet box in his hands. He can’t wait to give this to his beloved wife. He wanted to please her, and as much as possible he wanted her to be proud of him. It was their wedding anniversary today and he wanted to surprise her with his present. It may not be expensive like those she had in her jewelry box, but this one came from his heart. He looked at the clock mounted on the wall of their spacious apartment; this apartment was given by his wife’s grandmother as a gift for their wedding. He frowned when he saw that it was past five o’clock in the afternoon, and Ash should have been home by now. They agreed to celebrate their wedding anniversary with a simple candlelight dinner in a restaurant. She's late. Simon called Ash but she was not answering his calls. He dialed her number a few times again but still, no one answered. Simon bit his lower lip as his heart hammered inside his chest. He's worried! He waited for another minute, then
Simon drove back to their apartment as fast as he could. He was relieved that Ash was fine, and he was excited to give her his gift. It’s the least that he can do to make his wife happy. He wanted to give her everything, and he's making it happen step by step since he’s not yet that capable. Soon, Ash would be proud of him. He’s been a subject of insult from the Steele family, and he knew that Ash was embarrassed every time his financial standing would be brought up. But everything is about to change. He parked the car outside the premises of their luxurious apartment and volted to their unit. His steps were frantic and his heart rammed inside his chest. Upon opening the door, his eyes scanned their apartment, in search of his wife. His heart skipped a beat when their eyes locked. “Ash, I was so worried about you. You were not picking up my calls, I thought something had happened to you.” Simon wanted to hug Ash, but he chose not to. Simon found Ash seated on one of the expensive
