“Would you like to tell me some more about what you felt?” Eron said, getting within inches from Diwana, and whispering in her ear, sending chills all over her body. His intoxicating smell was making it hard for her to focus on anything else but him. She hugged the blankets even tighter and bit her lip, trying to give an answer to him…“You wouldn’t believe me,” she said, her eyes reflecting all the bad memories that, what she thought was her curse, had given her. "If I told you..."“Try me,” he said in the same low tone, their cheeks almost touching, as they pretty much hid so the kids didn’t get to know about what was happening outside the dining area.“Well...” she made another attempt, “At times, I feel like my senses perceive more than usual, and most of those times, I feel like someone is watching me… and I feel really vulnerable and scared when that happens…”Eron’s hands curled into tight fists, but he made a huge effort to keep his tone serene and sweet.“That makes sense to
Virgil wolfsped to get his brother’s hand right on time and pulled him back towards the grass carpet.“What was THAT?!” Eron said in amazement.“It’s… training...” Virgil looked down, avoiding his brother’s eyes. "What else do you mean?"“Don’t lie to me, brother…”Defeated, V sighed and started telling Eron.“Recently, somehow, I’ve started feeling things… or seeing things… mostly, have happened when I’m in danger. I wanted to believe at first that it was part of the training, but they have started talking and now father thinks that I just learn that fast… I don’t think I deserve the praise since I can see from where the hits are coming almost before it happens, or when it’s from behind me, I can sort of… isolate… what I see… I don’t know, it’s really weird…”The older boy looked away, and it was evident that he felt bad for what he was confessing.“The worst is that… it’s not just that… At times I can hear what people think…”“Whoaaaa… but, how can you know that it’s what they’re th
The Argerlich Mafia leader was already near his superior’s mansion and though it was still early, he felt the need to call it a day. True, he felt revitalized every time he visited his secret wife and children but it all seemed to be swiftly sapped right out of him the moment he started to travel back to his workplace. Considering who was in that luxurious and massive palatial mansion, the way his mind and body would react to sleeping and living there for days at a time was truly understandable. Especially now that they were about to begin their plan to finally end the governor’s reign.Many would probably wonder why they didn’t just remove their corrupt boss from his position through legal and legitimate ways and then have him arrested. Unfortunately, that was truly hard to do. This damn politician had the money, power, and connections to counter even a full military coup d'etat, which would never happen because he had the police and army in the palm of his hand. Besides, he did no
Just then, The Ogre was at the door of the bedroom talking to the bedroom security who was now well enough to return to his post... Well, more like TRYING to talk to Nick, but…“Didn’t I tell you before, that I never wanted to talk to you again, after I did what you asked me to do?" "Nick, just hear me out...""What could you say that I might be interested in hearing? Look, I agreed to be one of the governor’s bodyguards and join you here in his mansion, EVEN after what you did to Father. You're the one who said that in exchange for this favor, I would never have to deal with you... Not ever again. So, what's this all about?”“Brother, I…”“You are NOT my brother, LEFT HAND… Not after what happened back at the Arger’s ORIGINAL headquarters. No, I’ll never see you as family… never again… I'm not even part of your precious group anymore, for heaven's sake...”“Nick, please…”“You go on ahead and talk to that motherfucking maniac inside this room. The door’s unlocked anyway and I need
As if feeling the tension of his friend, The Right Hand then sat down at the Senyor's tea table and smiled at his target. “I would like some, yes, and I hope you don’t mind me being so forward to accept.”“Of course not, since I did ask you first, young man. Hero, please join us here. You are being rude to your childhood friend, my boy,” Antonio called out at the man standing at the door.“I’m sorry, Senyor. Yes, I’ll join you….” The Ogre responded as he turned around and strode towards the two again, realizing that this would be the last time he would be sharing a meal with his beloved father figure. “By the way, are you truly at peace with what you do?”Hero froze in the middle of taking his seat, thinking that the question was aimed at him, but then The Right Hand answered, as the oldest man in the room was looking at him.“I… do what needs to be done. My feelings don’t really matter in the end, Sir,” The Assassin answered above the sound of the tinkling of teaspoons, sugar lids a
Speaking of which…Hero was already at the open double doors of his leader’s bedroom and his mouth twisted ever so slightly at the scene of the twisting turbulent nude bodies on the bed while the governor was being ‘serviced’ by a naked young male and nude girly female with their mouths and hands.He stayed standing at the doorway for a long while, looking like a contemptuous shadowy spectre with the light behind him since the bedroom was in semi-darkness. Eventually, his disagreeing and forbidding presence was sensed by everyone in the room and they all paused to gaze back at him.Including Governor Kahlagu…“Ah, so you’re here. Hiromoto, my boy. Come and join the party first before we talk,” Ed jovially invited, still in the middle of his session.The Left Hand cringed ever so slightly at his ‘master’s’ bidding but felt more nauseous at this offensive man calling him ‘boy’ since he only allowed his deceased parents and father figures to call him that. Thankfully, the hateful govern
The Ogre was now feeling how true his feared nickname was because he already had suspicions of this even before. The slight change of scent of his room after he arrived which he would then try to figure out… why there were slight changes that were almost imperceptible…Along with the general feeling that something was off which, in the end, he would ignore but be aware of when he would leave again. That was the reason why he would keep things hidden away in secret hiding places within his room.It seems that they were more thorough these past few days... “This was owned by Senyor Antonio, correct? I have seen this displayed in full view like a trophy in his home before and have always wondered what happened to it...”“He gave it to me before he died…” interrupted the Left Hand with a very low and almost growling tone which said a lot more than his actual words did.“Oh, you mean before you killed him?”Hero bit into his tongue just to stop himself from speaking. He and the Right Hand
Hero remained standing, his expression now back to being unreadable but he did slightly bow towards his now amused boss. “Thank you, Sir, and your commands are as good as done. I guarantee it. Now, if you will excuse me, I will need to rest…”“Oh, aren’t you going to ask about why we’re celebrating tonight?”“Well, I’m not sure if I should ask but I am definitely curious, Sir.”“We are having this party because it seems that The Right Hand has been proven to be very much alive…”Hero waited for a bit before allowing a surprised expression to spread on his handsome face. “What?! Why that IS a good reason to celebrate… since it proves your theory to be right all along, Sir. Do you want me to go search for him now?”“No, I already have someone else doing that for me. Right now. I need you to complete your search for more of your former leader’s hidden properties. And make sure that you legally process them to be transferred under my name.”This was another way of the governor saying that
