"Dwyne..." I lifted my head and looked at Bradley who called out at the same time holding my hand in his, oh my God. "These are my cousins, they're here because they heard you were here" He said casually and I just gave a nervous smile to everyone, at a loss for what to say."You'll get to know and remember all of us, just relax" He added and made everyone laugh as if it was a fact that I would be here often and know all of them."We should talk" I said while giving him a serious look."Oh ow" Marco exclaimed accompanied by laughter from everyone.Ugh... Dammit!!!Maya seemed to be enjoying her breakfast and started talking to everyone as I stood up and walked over alone with Bradley.What should I say? I thought confusedly, as my adrenaline and courage disappeared.Realizing I had walked a long way from the dining room, I stopped and folded my arms before blinking in surprise as my body was quickly pulled away and my lips were quickly kissed by the man I was talking to."What? Brad..
As we walked back to the dining room everyone was talking to each other as if they didn't care about us and what the two of us were doing.Is this normal for them? I thought irritably, thinking that Bradley often did this with other women and I wasn't the first.Huff..."Who is this?"Speaking of women...I just realized there was a new figure sitting on one of the seats next to Marco. Two women joined the long dining table as if it was meant for all of them.One of the women had the same face as Marco, could she be his sister?Marco looked annoyed and raised an eyebrow to stare at the woman."Merida!" I heard Marco say a name that was probably hers.It was only a while ago that he said he wanted to make me his woman, and I realized that I didn't know anything about him."I didn't know you were coming, Merida" I tried to calm down and continue eating my breakfast as I heard Bradley talking to the woman named Merida.When I looked up, Merida was looking at me with an appraising gaze, w
BANG.. BANG..!!!!I gasp loudly as Gray pulls out a gun and fires at the man pointing his weapon at us.It wasn't long before he spoke to Vernon who immediately moved to the wheel as Gray got out and drove our car away from the spot."Vernon, what happened?" I asked frantically to my friend who was driving and worried about the man we left there.He looked at me from the rearview mirror and made me speechless with the way he looked at me.Could this be the so-called dangerous life of a mobster?Was this going to be my life because I was with Bradley?No one spoke until we pulled up in front of Maya's apartment, who kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye and then Vernon immediately got back in the car to take me to my apartment.On the way back, Vernon didn't say anything and I just stared at the scenery through the window.“Are you okay?” I finally heard him ask and just shrugged without looking in his direction.“I don't know” I answered him honestly.All of this was still confusin
"Quick, we need help! If he dies, none of you can get out of here on your feet!" A group of men dressed in black suits shouted violently in the emergency room carrying one injured man and seating him on the nearest empty chair. That man...I exclaimed inwardly and recognised the injured man in the middle, whose clothes soaked through with large swaths of blood. I studied his off-color face the second time...Yes, It's him. I had helped him on the street a few weeks ago. Forced. Then he disappeared like a ghost after that. I did not expect him to show up in such an appalling manner again. "HURRY!!!" The same man shouted when he saw no movement from either the doctor or the nurse. Judging from his movements, it seemed like they were all dangerous people. "HEY, ARE YOU ALL DUMB?!" Hold, Dwyne... Hold on… Don’t react, I told myself. "HEEEYYYYY..!!!!" One of the members kicked the chair… And I finally couldn't stand it either "Noisy!!! If you want to ask for help, say it nicely,
It's been the fourth day, but there is no sign of him coming to my apartment, yes, since I got that horrible message in front of my apartment door, I can be said to be hiding with the excuse of working hard by constantly being in this hospital and returning only to change clothes without wanting to linger there.Scared, not just scared but I still loved my life, not knowing who he would come with to my apartment, saying he wanted to check I didn't know what he could do to me, a woman who lived alone in an apartment with a gangster, nope never knew something good will happen about that.So I'd rather avoid it than be in the news for losing my life the next day.Hopefully, when he realizes I'm not around, he'll think of going somewhere else to help him open the stitches on his stomach.Click…"Wow, Dwyne, are you still here?" Dr. Patrick who was on morning duty greeted me as he walked into the doctor's room, I guess to check who the interns were.I smiled, "Do you need anything doctor?"
Oh my god... oh my god, help me. I hope that he's not in front of my apartment. I prayed when I finished the night watch and had to go back to rest in my apartment before starting another part time job at the cafe 4 hours from now. I slowly stepped towards my room after turning from the stairs and looked around that there was no one around. I quickly stepped into the room at the far end of my apartment and hurriedly unlocked it. Luckily this time there was no paper attached with a knife. I had to put a tape on my door so that it wouldn't look like a hole caused by the knife. Blam.... Letting out a long sigh, I entered my room and stopped when I saw a colorful bouquet of tulips, which is my favorite flower, on the kitchen counter. But instead of being happy to see the bouquet, my heart ached to know how it got there? My. God! I’m doomed…. I said weakly and slumped to the floor staring at the bouquet of flowers. ****** .. 4 hours later .. "Hello Dwyne..." Greeted Kate who
"I'll take care of it, you clean up in the back." Kate interrupted me and stood in front of the man with a smile and I released a relieved breath.Thank god..!"Hello, sis."My eyes widened in surprise and stared at the two people in front of me.What? Sister?Kate is this horrible man's sister?!"3 years of not seeing each other and this is what you're doing? Scaring my staff?" I tried not to hear their conversation but it was difficult and I could only pretend to go to the cashier counter and calculate today's income."Nice decorations, I like the flowers." I tried not to wince at the man's sarcasm.D*mn, so it was really him who sent, no, not sent but put the flowers in my room?!How could that be?Isn't my apartment locked?!I heard Kate let out a long sigh, "Leave her alone." She said and I hope he listened to his sister's words.God, help!Kate, help!"I'm sorry, it can't be that easy. I owe her my life." He replied and startled me.Huh? Owe me a life?What does that mean?Then
Since then I never heard of or met the men in black suits again, Kate was right, they wouldn't bother me anymore.Even Richard came to the cafe whenever I was already home or just when I didn't have a shift at the time, as if to give me some distance.It's been a week since I returned to my life, only less burdened where I used to have to set aside money to be able to pay educational debts, now I can pamper myself a little with the extra money.Bbrrttt..!!The vibration of the mobile phone from inside informs me that there is an incoming text and I take it out to read it from my old part-time place at Equinox bar, yes, I am currently only working part-time at Kate's place and stopped bartending.'Dwyne, can you help cover for Ed at the bar Friday night? He fell down the stairs yesterday and I haven't found anyone who can bartend Friday - Louis' Louis is the owner of the bar where I used to work.I thought I could rest tomorrow night, but I couldn't say no to the owner of the bar beca
