CHAPTER 169—Give InKhlea’s Point of ViewI JUST STARED in front of the laptop monitor as I tried to get what I learned today into my mind. It's confirmed! The flashdrive with the keychain that I found inside Luna's drawer does belong to La Tigresa. But Seven hasn't replied yet whether that's what I really meant.I don't understand how I should feel now. Should I be happy because somehow, I have found something that I really want to target in Luna. Or sad because it wasn't enough? I'm confused.I'm here now in my condo. I don't know how to feel right now. It's not that I'm defending Luna but what if Luna had nothing to do with the La Tigresa transaction? Because there is a part of my heart that is protesting and seems to be telling me that Luna doesn't know anything. But I also know that it is impossible that Luna knows nothing about her father's business.I can no longer understand myself. Back then, I really wanted to succeed in my mission, but now, I just catch myself laughing and
Nishane's Point of View"COME ON, Nishane! Don't be a stubborn woman. I already talked to the directors to give you this assignment. This project belongs to you."I was going to enjoy a calm supper when my domineering mother abruptly entered the mansion and made me do something I didn't want to.I yelled, "Let me rest, will you! I have a lot of pending work to do!"A brown envelope with the contract that I will sign after accepting the assignment was placed in front of me by the woman.She is referring to a movie in which I shall play a role. Not because I dislike it. It's just that I work so much that I'm on the verge of illness. I don't get much rest now. She then requests that I work on an action series project. Oh, please!Also, the management forbids me from having someone else act and edit it when it comes to action. I must thus pull that stunt. But how can I accomplish that if I'm not getting enough rest and sleep? If I'm so exhausted, how am I meant to behave properly?Oh, God
Nishane's Point of View"HELP! HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My loud voice echoed in the parking lot but no one seemed to hear me."No one will hear you!" A man with a masculine body, that looks like their leader, shouted.I shook my head one after another. "No! The staff and producers will hear me! They will call the police to save me!" I shouted. "Help! Help me, please!""Get that on board!" he ordered the two men holding me by both arms.I am terrified. This is terrifying! I don't know what they need from me. I have many enemies with my co-workers in show business, but I am confident that we will not reach this point. Usually, that's only about the big projects I have and they are just envious.But I know that they will not excel to the point that they will abduct me!"Somebody help me— Argh! Let me go, you asshole!" I exclaimed while struggling from their grip on me.The leader pushed the two men. "Come on! Faster!""Mom! Help me! Mom!" I couldn't stop crying when they
Nishane's Point of ViewI AM still in a daze as I think about what happened. I have been imprisoned in this big mansion for several days and I still haven't managed to escape. Yes, I tried several times but the whole mansion is surrounded by Griffle's men. I am guarded by a lot of men. How am I going to get out of here if I'm surrounded by Clifford's tentacles?To this day, what my mother did is still a big question for me. Am I hurt? Yes. I have all the right to be hurt and to get mad at her.I did everything to meet her needs. And this is what I get after getting her spoils from me? From my own earnings?I kept thinking, wasn't everything I did enough to make a lot of money? I worked almost 24 hours just to give her enough money. I can no longer rest well enough to work and give her everything she needs.What I want is to be free from her. I never thought that in this way I would be free from her controlling nature.Tears were about to fall from my eyes when I heard three consecutiv
Nishane's Point of ViewI AM CURRENTLY organizing my stuff in the closet. These dresses, accessories, and everything were from Clifford. He gave me everything that I needed even though I didn't ask. It shocked me because he knew the things I preferred. Even the brand of shampoo and lotion I use, he knows it.Is he my stalker?Later, I was surprised when my phone rang. I knew immediately who was calling as no other contact details were saved but his. So I can't even ask for help to get out of this place."What?!" I asked irritably."Fix yourself. I'll pick you up in a minute," he said in a plain voice.My eyes widened. "In a minute?"Doesn't he know that it takes me an hour to take a shower since I love enjoying the water? It calms my soul. I still need to dry my hair and dress myself."You heard me right."I breathed deeply. "But I still—""No buts. I'm on my way."And he hung up the call just like that.But wait... he's going to pick me up? Does that mean we are going somewhere? If w
MEET THE ACES OF MAFIACLIFFORD's Point of View "JUST make sure your wife won't get in the way of us, I already warned you!" Allison eyes' warned me.I could see that she was agitated. She is clearly upset that I kept my plan from her. She was only startled when I presented Nishane to her as my wife, who is well-known throughout our company. Allison wasn't the only one I anticipated to respond in this manner for this reason.I made a small laugh. I said, "Allison, you don't have to do that. Do you trust me?"Gritting her teeth, Allison rolled her eyes. "You know that I will sacrifice my life to keep you safe; I put more faith in you than in myself!"Smirking, I turned to face her. "I told you that already, didn't I? You don't have to do that for me.""That's what I pledge! There is nothing you can do about that."Allison constantly criticizes me when I do something she doesn't like. When I ask her if she trusts me and my judgment, she always says she does since that is the truth
Khlea’s Point of ViewI was just looking at my teammates while we were all holding the cue stick. My friends’ attention was focused only on Allison, who was staring at the cue ball. It stands while measuring how to attack to shoot some balls that are its target. “What do you think about that, Nishane?” The8 asked with a smirk on his lips. “It looks like our friend will be hit because of that heir. Imagine that Nishane is weak, but Clifford chose him.”No one answered us, but Allison sat down hard, causing it to shoot its target balls. She stood up properly, then looked at all of us without emotion. “Whatever happens, we don’t care anymore. It’s Cliff’s life. Their life.”She is right. But even I know that things are complicated for them, so what if Cliff has special feelings for Nishane?“Allison is right. We shouldn’t get involved in any of Cliff’s personal business with Nishane. There is only one thing we need to do for Clifford—to protect him,” Seven said.I was a little surprised
A DINNER TOGETHERNISHANE's Point of View Being blinded by the light flowing in through the open bedroom window, I gently opened my eyes to wake up. Upon realizing where I was, I scowled.What took place last night is something I will never forget. When I first woke up, that's what I thought about right away. In my heart, a peculiar horror took hold. Again feeling shaky, my entire body trembled.I had the impression that the space where I had been shackled to a chair made of metal and prayed I wouldn't pass away was still there. I've only spent a few years on earth, and that night was the only time I prayed that I wouldn't pass away because I still had so much to do. To save my life, I begged.I cautiously stood up and leaned against the bed's headboard. Clifford, my husband, spat when the bedroom door finally opened. I assumed that he was holding a platter that was filled with food.I gulped quickly out of fear and trepidation. However, I was aware that I had to struggle again
