The Day We Said Goodnight

This is probably the most annoying of all! Mom leaves and Dad's other family arrives. I can't accept it! annoying too much!

"Mom, can you just stay here? I won't allow Celeste to be left here with Dad's new family. Maybe what will they do to Celeste," Hiro said, My older brother.

"I can handle myself Hiro, but I won't let Mom leave," I said calmy. It's just a little and I'm about to cry.

"It's good that you're leaving Celestine. I can't stand to be with you here. Don't worry I'll take care of your child, I'll take good care of them. I'm Cassandra," Someone suddenly spoke to us.

The heck dad's hook.

"Wow! I thought the maid threw away the garbage, why is there anything left here? And look, the garbage is breathing and talking now," I said sarcastically.

She ignored what I said and faced a woman who was not very tall and was also holding a cup of coffee.

"Btw this is my precious daughter, Cassidy," She said happily.

"How dare you talk to my mom like that ?!" Cassidy yelled at me.

The thickness of her face to shout at me? she's still brave huh?

"Oh she's your mom? Well She's really your mother. You know why? You have the same habits," I said sarcastically.

I didn't wait for what they would say and I pulled mom and hiro but I still couldn't get away from my peripheral vision that she would pour me the coffee she was holding. I immediately took the umbrella held by hiro and opened it and blocked it in front of Cassidy. I saw the shock on her face. Didn't she expect that I would act faster than her? I just laughed in my mind.

I glared at Cassidy before finally getting in the car.

After i delivered Mom and Hiro to the airport i went straight home. Hiro will be studying in Dubai for sure and Mom will be able to stay in London for a long time. For sure a big change will happen especially I have a share in dad's attention.

When I entered the kitchen I caught Cassidy leaning against the sink and drinking fresh milk. Wow? she's really drinking my fresh milk huh?

"You know Celeste, if I were you I'd just leave here. You know it's hard to live with two families," she suddenly spoke as if annoyed.

"Well I'm not you. Why didn't you leave? Isn't that your suggestion?" I answer her back. I saw the annoyance on her face again.

I just felt that gun was pointed at my senses. I didn't react because I'm not afraid of this. I have also become accustomed to always being targeted by a gun because I also trained to hold a gun for almost three months before becoming trained to it.

I just smiled when dad suddenly came in without Cassidy noticing because it was behind her.

"You know Celeste, I'm full of you. I want you to disappear from the world, you know that? I only want dad's attention on us and not on you, not on hiro and especially not on your worthless mother!" she shouted in front of me. I just looked her in the eye and waited for her to say anything more.

"Are you done talking Cassidy? That's what you want to happen to my daughter? To your step sister? Do you know when you were born that was my proudest moment, but now you're such a disappointment!" full of authority dad said.

I smiled at Cassidy foolishly and whispered something to her. "Go on kill me in front of dad." I said sarcastically and then went straight to the bedroom and slept.

6am in the morning when I heard the speaker ring and dad spoke. "Come here to Basement Celeste. Now!" at Dad's sudden scream I immediately got up and put on proper clothes and went straight to the basement.

When I opened the door I saw Cassandra and dad screaming. I suddenly wondered what was really going on and they were screaming at this time.

"What happened Dad? It's too early. Did something happen?" I didn't feel like answering because I was still sleepy.

"Celeste, our company here in the Philippines is slowly losing money! Deusus Enterprise is bringing us down! They also have plans to take over as an Inc. I'm not sure what that is," I was shocked at Dad's attitude. Our company is not just falling apart because we are the second richest and strongest in all of asia.

When I returned to trance I immediately fiddled with my laptop and searched about Deusus Enterprise.

"I also found out that Apollo, one of our good spies, died. Before he died, someone emailed me that the two Empires were conspiring," dad added. That's how annoyed when my laptop was hacked and infected with a virus. Good and I made a way.

"But why are they conspiring? What's the matter? Is it because one of our companies is failing that it's just their infidelity?" My answer is full of authority. I don't know but there is something wrong with what is happening. How did the two empires conspire?

"For now let's see what their next step is. And if something bad happens then we will take action."

I nodded as did Cassidy. I remember that I was going to the mall today.

"Dad I just want you to know I'm going to the mall," I gave puppy eyes to dad. I know he will allow me but I also know that he will not allow me without bodyguards.

"Yeah okay, bring Cassidy along. It's like you have a closure," I immediately cursed in my mind. Wow! really with Cassidy? seriously?she's pointing a gun at me! Maybe you forgot that dad, hello?

"Okay no problem. Cassidy, get ready if you want, come with me," I said to Cassidy.

"Good! My two daughters are okay with each other. Just keep it up," Dad replied smiling. I saw Cassandra's surprised face. Maybe she didn't know that I was just forced to include her worthless daughter.

Dad called someone on his phone. "Jack, ready the car and ......" dad suddenly looked at me. Oh no! not even the bodyguards. I don't want to have bodyguards because they can distract everyone.

"..... The bodyguards," When he said, my face immediately wrinkled. I also saw that Cassidy's face wrinkled because of that. I think she also doesn't want to have bodyguards with us.

When we arrived at the mall, people immediately looked at us. Others met me and took pictures. Others wonder who I am.

"Let's split up first Cassidy, I'll just go to the parking lot for a while I forgot something," I said to Cassidy.

As I was walking in the parking lot my phone rang. Hiro is calling! I answered the call but I heard no one speaking. I was about to speak when someone suddenly blew a horn in front of me.

"BEEEEEEEEP!"

I take a bad look at the car and go in with the driver. I hit it hard but he still wouldn't open it. Fuck! his courage not to open the window for me.

Because I was annoyed I took my 5 inch heels and hit his car window again. This time he got out of the car.

"Look what you did miss. You broke my car window," his voice was full of disgust and he arched his brows. I looked in the mirror and saw that it was broken.

"It's your fault. Are you planning to kill me? You're not looking where you're going. Also, it's not my fault if your car is fake and easily damaged!" I shouted in front of him. I can't control my annoyance. I'm feeling he's the most annoying person in the world other than Cassidy.

He immediately pulled a dagger out of his pocket and aimed it at my neck. Oh sorry I'm used to being targeted by any knife.

"Aren't you afraid of this?" after he said, he immediately touched my wrist and when he noticed the crest on it I immediately let go of my hand. I just arched my brow.

He can't see the tattoo crest on my wrist. Because this is a sign that I am an heir and he can't know because he might be one of our opponents.

I will not allow him to be the only one to focus the knife. I immediately took the dagger from him in quick manner and motion. He was surprised at what I did because it had already been reversed. The dagger is pointed now on him.

I saw the smirk on his lips mixed with annoyance.

"Who are you?! You look familiar," I asked him angrily. I think differently about him. There seems to be something wrong with him.

"You wanna know me? I'm Trouble and Death." then my hairs stood on end. I don't know but I just left. I heard him laugh out loud as I walked away.

But I saw in his tag that "Giovanni". His name is Giovanni.

"Celeste! Where have you been ?! I've been disgusted with your bodyguards one after another!" Cassidy shouted annoyed so many looked in our direction.

Cassidy suddenly pulled me in and whispered something to me.

"Celeste I have an idea. Let's buy some clothes in the store then let's watch some movies. I mean let's act like we want to watch movies but all we have to do is go to the cinema to get dressed and we come out wearing different clothes so we don't to be followed by bodyguards," With this idea of ​​Cassidy's I think we will be damned but since I also don't like bodyguards I immediately agreed with her decision.

After we bought the clothes we immediately took a ticket and told the bodyguards to just watch the movie. When we entered we immediately changed our clothes and left. We saw three bodyguards looking around. So Cassidy and I immediately run away.

We went straight to a food stall because we hadn't had dinner yet. Cassidy and I just got along. I can say that she is also resourceful.

After dinner we decided leave. It was also a bit dark around when we decided to go home. But I felt as if something was wrong when at every crossroads there are mens looking at us. This is the road that the car took earlier so we are comfortable that there will be no problem. But our situation now seems to be closer to the more plausible part of Cassidy's planned reasoning.

I felt the trouble when a group led by a man with many piercings and tattoos walked up to meet us. Cassidy grabbed my arm and we stopped. I looked the way back but three men were also approaching in our direction. I turned my attention to the more dangerous group up front. One of his body tattoos I recognized as we approached the distance and they stopped.

"Why are you in our territory?" His voice was full of malice and danger. Cassidy's grip tightened on me and hid behind me. I felt tension but I didn't show it. If I reveal my fear that is matched by the feelings of my two companions, then we're screwed up. The truth is, we're dead. It will just get worse if all of us will be eaten by our fears.

"We were just passing home. We didn't know anyone owned this place," I calmly reply. I would have intended to apply sarcasm to what I said but I immediately realized that that would not help our situation today. One of the members of that group spoke. "Are you new here? You might want to play with us." And it grinned at Cassidy. I glanced again at the tattoo on the neck of their acting leader.

"What game?" My skepticism and fear could not even pierce my voice. Cassidy looked around for our possible escape. "You're beautiful. And I've never seen a woman as brave as you. It's a pity if we just break your arrogance. If you want, just give us your friend and you can leave," said Tattooed Man. Cassidy seemed to have lost blood on her face and she was obviously terrified of what might happen. I can also see the fear and annoyance in Cassidy's eyes.

"What's your decision? We're starving," the man full of tattoos asked and looked at Cassidy. I smiled at them. When Cassidy saw my devilish smirk, her reactions seemed hopeless.

Cassidy still can't fight because she hasn't had any training yet. And me? all the hardships I went through. I trained for a year and now I can knock them out in just one snap. But it was difficult because they were too many and they still had weapons.

"Cold, heartless bitch. I really want you. You're free," replied the seemingly leader of the group. But just as he was about to touch Cassidy, I violently shook his arm. "I'm not a generous person either so you can't touch my sister," I lost my grin and looked at them with my devilish look.

The man frowned. "Fuck! What do you want to happen?!" he ask angrily. I glanced again at his tattoo on the neck and bravely met his gaze. I pointed to the tattoo. "Delcour Mafia crest. You were responsible for Apollo schivan's death," Everyone was shocked again. Their seeming leader also recovered immediately.

"That skinny boy? That's right to him. How did you know that thing?" The man asked. "Let us go or I'll tell the police everything," I know it's a gamble I'm doing but at these times. I see no other way for us to survive this situation. I accept that everyone will die- even Cassidy. Don't let me be the reason. And one more thing, even though she's my half sister, Dad said I was her friend. Tss! Is this what I don't like about those friendly friends.

Their leader just laughed. "Do you think the Delcour are afraid of the law?" My miscalculation immediately registered with me and I knew we were no longer safe. But I'm not in the habit of giving up that easily. I grabbed Cassidy by the arm and pulled her running back. I used the shock of the group to get away. When we got close to the three gangsters blocking I immediately told my plan to Cassidy. "Just run! Don't stop! Get away from here or I'll kill you by myself!" I kicked the first man near us with great force in the private part.

Just run. Don't stop. What kind of plan did I have in mind?

"No, Celeste! I can't just leave you here!" Cassidy said still continuing to cry. I unleashed a hard punch on another man's jaw. "Damn! Just run!" I shout at her. I don't know how long I can hold back these gangsters before they catch up especially and the others are already running in our direction. Fortunately Cassidy immediately understood everything and she run away.

I didn't think that these mens are also strong and know how to fight. I underestimate them too much.

"Trying to be a hero huh?!" Their leader said while laughing.

"Stupid! I'm not being brave! I've only been running for so long! Fuck!" I shouted at his close face. He was obviously angry because Cassidy were able to escape. I got a slap. "You want to experience Schivan's fate? In that case, I won't prolong that any longer," He pulled out a gun and pointed it at my senses. I closed my eyes and flashbacked all the events in my life. I've never been a good girl. Now, I wonder, did I really enjoy this life?

"Are you praying? That's right because you're at the end." I heard the case of the gun. Maybe this is where I'm supposed to end. For sure, Cassidy will suffer in the way of interrogation by Dad, Mom, and Mrs. Cassandra. Jet Black was right. Man always think about his past before he dies, as if he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived. In my case, I don't know if I really lived. And now, I'll die. I was not even given a chance to inform.

Another gun I heard. What? Am I that hard to kill and need two bullets to go into my head? "Let her go or I'll blow your skull, Sky," said a voice I will never forget. Is he here? Did he save me? That voice that I knew belonged to the devil has become a miracle for me. I opened my eyes and there he was. With all his dark and dangerous look, full of power and he was standing behind the man full of tattoos while holding a gun pointed at it.

"Master Delcour!" Exclaimed the so-called Sky and slowly lowered his gun. Gio immediately approached me and caught me by the waist when those holding my arm released me. I saw Gio's anger register on his face when he noticed the blood on my lip. "Fuck you, Sky! You hit her! I'll kill holding my girl!" Gio shouted furiously and again aimed the gun at what he called Sky. It's really scary to get angry with the demon. Even I can't understand all of what makes him angry. Sky just nodded as if waiting for his end.

I was surprised when he suddenly called me "my girl". Like huh? my girl your face! but this is not the time for me to shout at him because he saved my life.

"Idiot! Put that down!" And I pulled his arm holding the gun. Sky and the other gangsters looked at me. What?! Do I have a secret shocking code to say? Gio lowered the gun. "Let's go," And he helps me walk away. I immediately picked up the shopping bag I had dropped earlier while messing around. Sky blocked our way.

"She knows something about the Mafia. And about Schivan. We need to silence her. We need to present her to Ivan," Gio picked up the gun again and pointed it at Sky's face. The man quietly walked away in front of us and we continued walking towards a black Lamborghini Murcielago. Wow. He seems to have a collection of dream cars.

He took me home and I thanked him. I can't face him now because he saved my life. But wait? How does he know those men? Was he one of those who killed Apollo? I wanted to ask him but he might point a gun at me so I'll just keep quiet.

"I know them, they are dad's staff here in the Philippines. It just so happens that another mafia and our family have a deal in that place where it's hidden. It's just your bad luck because you passed by that place. You owe me a lot Aya," Gio said with a wink.

How did he know my name?!

I wanted to hit him but maybe when I got out of this car I suddenly fell because he shot me.

"T-thank you Gio. Thank you for saving me," I stutter at the mention and I can't even look straight at him.

Oh God! Why am I feeling this way?! Why can't I be comfortable. Why does something seem wrong? The coldness of my hand and still nervous. Wait! You are not in love celeste, No !!! It can't be okay! I pinched my arm to return to trance.

"All right Gio, I'm in. Maybe Dad is so worried now," I was about to go down when he suddenly pulled my arm and kissed me on the lips. All of a sudden my hair stood on end. I don't know but I responded to his kisses. I'm going crazy. You're driving me crazy Gio!

A few more minutes passed and I was the one who left on my own because I was also short of air. As our lips parted I was so breathless that you thought you ran 100km without stopping.

I didn't wait for what he would say and I went down before he kissed me again. I even heard him say "I missed you Aya" before he pulled over his car.

What are you thinking celeste! why do I seem to know him? the heartless and ignorant in the world is now becoming Soft? Became Soft because of Gio? no, it's wrong. I will not persuade him. Do I know if he's just fooling me or using it for his plan? Is this called Love at first sight?

When I got home, my dad scolded me immediately. I told him what really happened because I had never been able to lie to him. He didn't stretch me either and he sent me straight to the bedroom to rest. Cassidy also got home 30mins before I arrived.

Cassidy and I were new to school. Dad wanted us to go to the same school so we didn't do anything and we haven't complained yet. It's hard to force dad especially when he knows it will be better for us.

My cellphone rang indicating that Hiro was calling. I answered it immediately because I already miss him. Hiro is in Dubai now because he still has a lot to finish and he is also studying there. As for mom, I have no news, I can't contact her on skype or her phone number. But she sends letters, chocolates, and some stuffs. I'm complacent that she's okay.

"Hey Celeste! Why didn't you answer my call before ?! Do you know that I'm worried about you too much? While I was in a meeting, dad suddenly called that something had happened to you! Cassidy and you. Is that true ?!" Wow! Arm alight Hiro's mouth.

I immediately put the cellphone away from my ear because of the excessive noise. Added that I have a loud speaker.

"Hiro I'm okay, don't worry I wasn't hurt-" I couldn't continue what I was saying when he suddenly hung up. It's really rude to talk oh!

When Cassidy was ready I immediately got in the car and waited for her. In fairness our uniform suits to her.

"Celeste, I just wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday. Do you know that I was so nervous that I thought you would give me to those men?" Cassidy said calmly.

"Look, even if I have a bad habit I can't do that. I also have a conscience Cassidy. My parents raised me with a good heart. They taught me how to help. So if you think I'm bad, it's up to you," I didn't look at her and I just drove.

When we arrived I immediately let Cassidy go first.

"Go to your classroom, I'll look for parking. We also have a different schedule. Just text me when your class is done," I said directly to her.

While I was looking for a parking space. I've been driving around before so when I found one I immediately parked and got out of the car. I was on my way to the classroom when a car pulled up in front of me. He lower the window to the driver's car and if you look at it ... It's Giovanni. The morning is still early. Will my day really be ruined? I groaned and looked at him.

"What?!" I asked him and rolled my eyes.

"Is that your car?" He said in a baritone voice.

"Yes," I proudly said, Because I brought a Bugatti.

"Move it."

"Pardon me?"

"Move. Your. Car."

"And why would I do that?!" I shouted at him that he wasn't surprised after last night's scene in his car. His reaction is still very passive so it's irritating. It was also able to draw attention to my shouting so little by little some student looked at us.

"I want that spot."

"So? I got it first. I arrived here first. Who will adjust now?" I rolled my eyes.

"I don't care who arrived first. I just want that spot so you better move that fcking car of yours," Is that irritating him? That was fast.

"Whatever, Giovanni! I won't take that car away whether you like it or not. I don't care if you like that spot. I want it, too. Next time, just get up early huh?" I smiled sarcastically.

Then I heard some girls gossip.

"Omg didn't she know that Giovanni is the leader of Students Council?"

"She's doomed."

"It's her first and last day here in Interhigh University."

"She's making some scene here, she's not shy at all."

While walking away I noticed people speechless at what happened. Wow! I want to laugh at their reactions. Priceless! Who would have thought that someone would answer to the leader of the boys? I hadn't gone far when I heard the boys' laughed so because I was very curious I turned to them. O .. Oh, no... Oh, no!!!!

These are shameless monkeys! Vandalized my car! I went back there to see how badly they had done. Those animals are really irritated. They write "spot stealer" "go away" and "get lost" to my car. The thickness really of the faces! I was in front of them but they still didn't want to stop.

The boys is still in the middle of the parking until now. Giovanni got out of the car and leaned on the hood of his car. He even crossed his arms while watching his boys do what he was doing in my car. I glared at them strong enough to gather their attention. They stopped what they were doing and then looked at me.

"What?! What are you looking at?" What! Still really asked.

"That's. My. Car."

"We know. That's why we're painting. Is it nice?" The Boy smiled. I couldn't control myself and anytime I'll punch them in their guts.

"Why are you destroying my car?!"

"You don't care! It's your fault you don't want to leave. That's the spot Giovanni wants."

"The hell I care if that Giovanni wants that spot! I was first so you have no right to do that!" I'm disgusted!!!!

The boys who were watching were not yet contented. They just laughed at me while their leader just smiled and seemed to enjoy what was happening. I pushed the boy and took the baseball to my car which I often handy in case of emergency. And this is an emergency. So I'm going to use it now. The boys stopped laughing and looked at me as if they thought I was going crazy. I walked closer to Giovanni's car.

"Hey, you Giovanni! I will not allow only my car to be destroyed," I saw the shock in their eyes. Looks like they got what I meant. I don't care if he saved me from those goons!

I grinned at them and then slammed the baseball bat into the window of Giovanni's car. Cracked. Very good! Everyone fell silent at what I did. You won't hear anything. They were all shocked at what happened. After that I approached Giovanni who was stunned by what happened in his car and then I whispered. "Don't blame me if that's what happened to your car. Your tentacles started it. I just retaliated. So how is that? We're Quits," I patted his back and walked to the classroom.
