Junior's POV:"Red, you need to get back here as soon as possible!" I requested him."Junior, calm down. What's going on?" Red spoke worriedly on the other line of the phone."It's about Athena!" I blurted it out. "She's regained her senses!" I got right to the point.There is total silence on the other line. Red paused for a moment before returning to our conversation."How is that even possible?" he asked in disbelief."I have no idea, and that's why I needed you back here to figure it out," I asked desperately."You know I can't, but I promised you I would try my best to get back as soon as possible." I can hear him release an audible sigh of frustration."She even has some of her memories back," I went on to say.Ever since I learned that Athena has all of her senses back, she has confessed to me everything, including the return of some of her memories. She may not have gotten it all back, but everything is gradually returning to her. I just don't want to put too much pressure on
Junior's POV: I was taken aback by Athena's aggressiveness. She is showing unusual behavior that I have only experienced in my wildest dreams and never thought would become a reality. Is it because she has her senses now and is too eager to experience everything? "Athena, what's going on with you?" I placed the back of my hand over her forehead to check if she had a fever or was sick. "You've been acting weird lately," I said worriedly. "I want you to teach me how to make love," she said, looking at me with her puppy dog's eyes. "It's not that simple," I quickly replied. "Why did you do it with her and not with me?" Lilith was the one she was referring to. I can't believe that up until now, she hasn't moved on since Lilith revealed that something happened between us. She's been acting like a jealous girlfriend. I feigned not to understand what she was saying and questioned her presence in front of my room in the middle of the night. "I have no idea what you're talking about," I
Junior's POV:I still can't believe I slept on the couch last night. Athena was sound asleep in my bed, so I didn't bother waking her up and let her sleep for the night. I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. Aside from the fact that sleeping on the couch is uncomfortable for me, I can't stop thinking about the consequences of my actions.What would become of me and Athena as a result of all of this?Can we simply pretend nothing occurred and go back to normal?My mind is filled with questions. All I know is that nobody must know that Athena has regained her senses. Our adversaries will take advantage of this information once they learn that her humanity has returned. I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and overthinking. I was awakened by the loud ringing of the phone.I opened my eyes and looked at the time; it was already past ten in the morning. I picked up the phone and answered it."Speak," I whispered hoarsely."Junior, are you still sleeping? Did
Junior's POV:"Junior, what took you so long? I've been waiting for an hour here," Tiny exclaimed angrily upon my arrival at the interrogation facility."I passed by Red's laboratory, and we discussed some pressing issues. Anyway, I will be needing you for a few days since Athena will be staying with Red." I addressed him authoritatively and ignored his whining.As my uncle Stephen used to tell me, I should never apologize to anyone since I am the future ruler of El Latro and I can do whatever I want with my time."What happened? Is she sick or something?" Tiny's temperament has changed, and he has voiced concern about Athena."Nah, Red needs to run some tests on her to ensure that all of her vitals are still fine after the incident on our last mission. It's standard operating procedure. All bodyguards should be at full strength and capability to perform their duties," I explained thoroughly, rubbing his shoulder.I don't want him to speculate that something is wrong with Athena as mu
Junior's POV:It's been three days since I left Athena in the care of the Red, and it's been awfully quiet around the house. I used to get upset when she woke me up early in the morning, but now I kind of miss having someone greet me. I missed her home-cooked dinners and the way she followed me around all the time. It is terribly lonely and feels so empty without her.I keep myself busy at work, ensuring everything is prepared and organized for our forthcoming expedition. With Tiny's help, we assembled a group of Cerberus soldiers to accompany me and Athena on our mission in the Fifth District.Despite my best efforts to keep myself preoccupied and divert my attention away from Athena, I still can't stop thinking about her. As much as I wanted to visit her in Red's facility, I couldn't. I was instructed not to visit to prevent her from getting distracted while going through intensive tests."Damn, Junior. Pull yourself together!" I said to myself, "Stop thinking about her. She's your
Life is short, and I always believed that we should enjoy our lives to the fullest. That's what I've been doing for the past twenty-five years of my existence. As the only child of the owner of the DICTator Group of Companies, I have the luxury of doing and getting literally whatever I want."Junior, I thought you'd never come." Milo greeted me with a wide smile on his face.Milo is one of my closest friends in Bendoveh Island's Sixth District. He is the only bartender who does not consume alcohol. He's been clean for nearly three years. We grew up together and have been looking out for each other ever since. I've been going to the 69ers Club every night, and Milo has been my spotter and wingman when it comes to women."You know me. I always want to make an entrance." I smiled back at him. Yes, I'm a sucker for attention, and I like it when all eyes are on me when I walk into the club. "Please give me the usual," I said, referring to my usual poison, snakebite.Snakebite drinks are ra
My father always taught me to never fight with a woman. Well, it depends on the situation. If it is in bed and at least not without her consent. I desperately wanted to get out of the room and run for my life, but she was blocking the exit door. Kitty was able to retrieve the knife that had slipped on the floor. Now that she's armed, I have nothing to protect myself with. I looked around to find something for defense, but all I could see were the wooden anchors hung on the walls, a bunch of flags, and a treasure chest.I tried to get near the treasure chest, hoping to get something out of it, but she chased me away from it. We've been running around in circles, completely naked."Damnit, I always fantasize about this moment where I run around naked being chased by girls, not to kill me but to make love to me. This is utterly insane!" I thought to myself. I hurled all the pillows at her, hoping to distract her from chasing after me. Luckily, she trips on the blanket while running afte
Women are impossible to live with and even more difficult to live without. I always ended up in trouble every time I got involved with women, especially the pretty ones. They may appear cute, friendly, sweet, and kindhearted, but the truth is, they were just the devil hiding inside their angelic faces. A predator hunting for innocent men as their prey. She will take advantage of our frailty and exploit our weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Scam! Despite it all, we still choose to love them.I swore to myself that I would never fall for another pretty face with a big rack, a voluptuous physique, and seductive eyes. Never again!I'm still disoriented after what happened. I still can't believe that I accidentally killed one of the most notorious assassins on the island. I kept thinking about it over and over again. The sight of her lifeless body with a cracked skull and parts of her brain poking out of her head still lingers in my mind. It will hunt me every night and give me nightmares.
