Technical Love
"Here I am, kill me," she said with tears in her eyes and I cupped her cheeks with my hands.
"I don't want to."
Dakota Cruise who was a college student showed much interest in a new student named Luke Calvin who offered the same course as her. Because of his abnormal behaviours, she tagged him as "mysterious." When she tried talking to him at first, he seemed dense and mean, but she kept on trying to get acquainted with him because she had a liking for him. But unknown to her he was an assassin sent to kill her and her family. As time went by, they fell in love with each other and Luke did not want to kill her again, she also found out something shocking and mind-blowing about him, he was a cyborg--Half-human, half-machine--it was Luke's biggest secret and she had to keep it. Luke forfeited being an assassin because he had found something better than killing people--his love for Dakota. Luke's decision made him an enemy of his ever-young creator and boss, Doctor Hernandez, a multi-billionaire psychopathic doctor who had been living for decades without losing his youthful looks due to his body modifications. Will Luke be able to keep Dakota safe? And how long will it take before Luke will be hunted down by his maker?

Because of all the commotion and we losing our house to a fire, we moved to our grandparents' house-- my dad's father-- his house was a classical manor in the countryside with a courtyard thrice as big as our former house. My grandfather was a professional golf player, though retired, he owned a golf club and he had a golf court in his courtyard and he played golf in it whenever he had some free time. When I entered the house reception a river of nostalgia hit me, this was one of the reasons I didn't like coming here it brought back memories of when I was little. I remember spending most of my time here as a child especially whenever I was on holiday, now I barely come here apart from a few occasions like this. We were greeted by maids in well-pressed black and white uniforms, and then they showed me the room I was going to stay in. Since we didn't have a house we were going to stay here till we bought or rented another one When I entered the room the maids bowed bef

Chapter: Chapter 40(nice rude boy)Dakota's POVWhen it was almost evening we went to our meeting spot, the coffee shop and Luke ordered two cups of hot coffee. After he ordered the cups of coffee he didn't utter a word he just drank his coffee and I stared at him waiting for him to say something. I looked around the coffee shop, and I realised why Luke used here as our meeting spot, it was because he loved coffee so much and who would even think that we would use an ordinary coffee shop as our meeting spot to discuss very important things?The coffee shop was just a few miles away from my parents' house that got burnt down, and I was tempted to go and see what the place looked like now, Ihadn'tt still contacted my parents and my brother, I couldn't just imagine how worried they would be. "So about the bounty," Luke finally spoke and my attention became focused on him. "I found out something very interesting when I went through the Nine's database.""What?" I asked and my eyes widened out of curiosity."I've confirm

Chapter: Chapter 39(breakfast)DAKOTA'S POV I woke up with a slight headache and a pain in my chest, my chest still hurt because of what happened yesterday, I still couldn't believe it and I yearned to speak with my parents and my little brother. But I couldn't contact them immediately if I did it could reveal my location and put me in grave danger.I let out a yawn and looked around the room, this room seemed like it was a guest room. It was big, tidy and beautiful. I liked the curvy design of the white reading table by the wall and the glittering golden lamp holders on the wall. I perceived a nice smell and it was coming from the living room. I got out of bed and I went to the bathroom to wash up, the bathroom was quite big and it had a shower place, a bathtub and a toilet. There was also a TV screen and sound system in the bathroom and it was the coolest thing I have ever seen. I didn't feel comfortable using the bathroom but I had to get rid of all the dirt and sweat on my body. I also needed a long shower t

Chapter: Chapter 38 (Trust)DAKOTA'S POVA few minutes after the gigantic man was gone Luke without warning lifted me into his arms and he started levitating in the air. "Don't worry, I'll get you somewhere safe Dakota." He muttered and I didn't utter any words. He began moving fast in the air and whirls of cool breeze brushed past my face making strands of my hair dance around. It was so cool and cosy here, that I almost forgot what just happened. His hands firmly held me as he carried me in princess style, even though I was mad at him, my cheeks became as red as hot sauce.But still, I didn't know why I was letting him take me to a place I didn't know, I didn't trust him a bit now, he told me that there were no other persons who were Cyborgs like him, he told me that he was the only one, but it was all a lie. It was obvious that that monstrous man was modified like Luke. If Luke and that man existed that meant others were like him, if so, then we were not safe on this planet. People who possessed mysterious t

Chapter: Chapter 37(Mr Statue)DAKOTA'S POVAfter Justin found out that Luke was coming here from time to time he assigned an undercover agent to watch over me, I tried to convince him that there was no need for that but he didn't want to hear me out, he deemed Luke too dangerous for him to come around me with me so vulnerable. He even told me that he should have been the one watching over me but he had to keep an eye on Luke always and he was also busy finding who placed the bounty.They could never get along because of their personalities and jobs. I sighed and then turned to the man wearing a black suit and dark shades standing by my room door. He had been standing there for more than an hour without uttering a word and he followed me everywhere I went to, even to my room! If not for the words decency and privacy he should have been following me into the bathroom and the changing room. He was now living with us, it was Justin's orders, he wanted him to watch over me all the time till all the problems were solve

Chapter: Chapter 36(project kill)Luke's POVI arrived at the secret lair and it was unusually quiet, Dr H was planning something big and everyone was busy helping him accomplish his plans. My mission to Russia was two weeks from now, it would be hard for me to go on a mission like that cause I would be gone for a long time and Dakota would notice my absence. Justin was a problem too, since our encounter in Dakota's house he had been keeping a very close eye on me, and it was very annoying. I walked into the conference room and it was empty too, it seemed like the nine generals were not around or they went on missions. I guess the reason why no one has figured out about me and Dakota was because they were busy with so many things. As a member of the 9ine, your every step was monitored, if you betray, you die. If you try to compromise, you die. If you try leaving, you die. If you were not careful, you die So I was taking a very big risk helping Dakota...I facepalmed myself and then muttered, "Why was I even helpi
