Anna’s POV“Let’s compare our product to Empire Group’s product. If it is the same, we should find out who leaked it among our staff and sue Empire group for some other cash…” I said carefully. This was a chance to put himself up on the radar and I was fully ready to grasp this chance with both hands.“Makes sense!” Smith supported. “The problem has been highlighted and the solution has been found. I do not know why but I think the implementation would be the most serious part.”“Let’s contact headquarters!” Alexander, the operations manager said carefully. “I feel like this won’t be done only with our manpower. We need more assistance!”“Not now, Alexander…” I said carefully. “There is a spy in the headquarters. It is not among the workers in the factory. It has to be someone higher up and it would be in the headquarters. Let us discuss the solution here and implement it right here. Headquarters should never know our full plan.”“I would have loved to do that but it is quite impossib
Anna’s POVFrom the way he had reacted, I knew he wanted to tell me something very important. I did not oppose when he claimed he wanted to see me. I had got to work the moment I got to the office. I didn’t even know where my workspace would be. However, before I entered Smith’s office, there was an office there. Charlotte, as the personal assistant, used that place. Well, she needed to be close to him.I entered his office and he closed the door. He made sure he locked it because of intruders.“The walls are soundproof. We are safe to say whatever here,” he told me carefully. He went to his seat while I sat on the chair opposite him. The first thing I did was to rest my head on his table. I was acting exhausted from the meeting I had with the employees.“It is so tiring!” I exclaimed.“It is what you wanted, darling…” Smith said calmly. “You could have been a pretty housewife who spends her time reading books and knitting sweaters for the family. Well, you wanted to be wild and indep
Anna’s POV“I am willing to show you around, Miss Anna,” the manager told me carefully. “This organization has been existing since the past thirty years and we hold the reputation for having the most successful bodyguards in the United States.”“But I haven’t heard of this organization in my life…” I said carefully.“Yeah, I don’t think you are someone who has hired a bodyguard in the past!” he told me savagely. I managed to smirk after he said this. I could not state this but it hurt me deeply.“Well, you are fairly right. I have been living an ordinary life…” I said slowly.“You should be grateful for that!” he told me simply. “Some people can’t step out of their home without a bodyguard. There are threats inside their homes and they need to be so cautious. The person who recommended you to our organization is a returning client. I have been here for over fifteen years and I have heard tales and seen some things for myself.”I sighed.“What do you do in this organization?” I asked c
Anna’s POVThis was a very big decision for me. I had the best of the best bodyguards in the world with me but it would lay in my hands to pick someone who would stand by me in life and death. It had to be somebody worthy. Such a person had to be ready to die for me and with me as the circumstances allowed.“I guess you are having a hard time. Would you like to tap into my inner intelligence? I am wiser than you can imagine…” the manager told me shortly. I was determined to wave this off. I would not be influenced by whatever he said.“I think this has to do with me more than with you!” I exclaimed. “I will make a befitting decision so just stand down and watch me.”“Do it your way,” the manager replied. I could visibly tell that he felt bad by how I was counting him out of such a fun activity. I simply smiled and decided to make him feel good.“Tell me who I should eliminate first among all four of them. I need to eliminate two, you know…” I said to him carefully. I could see him smi
Anna’s POVTheir work had started instantly. I had to call Smith to ask for directives but it turned out that the manager had informed him already.“They are your bodyguards, Anna,” Smith told me over the phone. “I have been alone for some years but you are new to this. I feel like you might have more enemies than I would. Or rather, you would get attacked more than I would. Your position is more sensitive than mine. You are the only thing in the world that can be used to threaten me.”I took a deep breath before the call ended. Andy drove the car while I rode in the back. Williams was beside Andy in the front seat.“There are rules and regulations here…” I said carefully.“Go on, miss,” Williams urged me. He sounded quite eloquent and vigilant. This must be because he had spent time with the military.“You once served with the military. What was your rank before you retired?” I asked him carefully.“Lieutenant!” Williams replied.“Why did you retire?” I asked again. It seemed he woul
Anna’s POV“I don’t like the look on your face,” I told him calmly. “You should know me enough to understand that I joke about almost everything in the world. Normally, I ought to…”“Shh!” he pushed me against the wall. “You can joke about everything apart from that. I am a jealous man. I do not want to share you with any fucking person!”I smiled. I loved his act of roughness once in a while. He was truly a dream man. Rough and gentle. Cute and handsome. Lazy and hardworking. He could be a lot of things depending on the situation.“It’s cozy in here,” I told him slowly. I wrapped my hands around his neck and looked into his eyes.“Have you ever had sex in the office?” he asked me plainly.I punched him carefully on his shoulder. He moved back instantly, gripping his shoulder. It would hurt him a little but I knew he would be fine.“It is my first day in the office and you want to have SEX!” I exclaimed. I shouted the word ‘sex’ like it was something abnormal. That same moment, someon
Anna’s POVI was scared to see such happen to me. I was more scared when the men had guns, however, when I looked at their faces, I heaved a sigh. They were Andy and Williams, my bodyguards. They must have used that as a medium to scare me.Then Andy came over and tapped at the windscreen. I winded down to talk to them for a minute.“I thought it won’t be nice to have a lady like you drive when gentlemen like us have nothing doing…” Andy said carefully. I sighed and then shook my head.“That was really bad timing!” I exclaimed.“I think I know but we don’t know the way to your mansion…” Andy said carefully.“Then get in your car and follow me quietly. I can’t believe that Smith who gave you so much information forgot to give you something so crucial. All he shared with you were gossip…” I sighed.“We will obey,” Williams bowed. He seemed more formal. Andy was just playful around me. I guess I would have to teach him how professional relationships worked.----------------I got home fe
Anna’s POVI thought it was one of our playful fights but Smith seemed to have taken it serious. I have always made jokes about ‘killing’ and both of us knew this so well. His sarcastic reply to me was not something I could take.“Should people blame me if I kill you right now, Smith?” I asked him playfully. I said it so comically. I was about to laugh when I said this.His reply could strip metal.“So you can marry your bodyguard, huh!” he exclaimed. This sounded too serious for my liking. Smith was annoyed about what I said earlier. That should be the only reason for this absurd behavior.I knew I was supposed to talk him out of his illusion but I just refused to do it. He ought to know that I liked making jokes about muscular men. This was not the first time. If he could not understand that it was a joke, I was not ready to do more. I would act like it didn’t matter as well.And that was how both of us slept. We didn’t cuddle today, our backs were turned against each other.-------
Anna’s POV“Mission complete from Wolf but he is in danger. He has been shot by a hostile,” Hibiscus reported. “He was shot on the stomach but it avoided his vitals. His car has been destroyed by the explosion and he has confirmed the death of Mark and the other guys. However, he has no car and he is still bleeding.”“Send White Shark to help him now!” I exclaimed. “Also, I never thought of this but now is the best time to end this. Send the anonymous tip to our man in the police. Dan needs to be rooted out tonight for sure. Tell them he plans to escape tonight as well.”“I will rush there to provide support instantly,” White Shark reported.I waited for two minutes before Hibiscus gave his latest report.“I have sent the anonymous tip and I have given Dan’s address. They will be there in fifteen minutes,” Hibiscus replied. “Also, Valentine is back at headquarters. He is recuperating for now.”“Where is the nearest seaport from Dan’s place?” I asked her carefully. “I don’t care where
Anna’s POVYes, it was time to end it all and put them to rest as well. This had to be done delicately. Mark had to come by himself.“How do we bring him in, ma’am?” Hibiscus asked me carefully.“Yeah, he had a phone with only three contact numbers. I think sending a photo of his death will connect us with Mr. Anonymous…” I replied carefully.“It probably will but it might also turn chaotic. There will be more than one person to confront and it is nothing good, you know,” White Shark replied carefully. He already knew he would be leading this operation.“That is why we cannot confront them normally. We will put Daniel Locke’s body in the house I was kidnapped and taken to and also, we will have bombs all around. I don’t know where to get bombs but you can, right?” I asked them carefully.“It is illegal but I have a private dealer. I will work things over with him and set things up within two hours,” White Shark told me calmly. “That saying, I am to detonate the bomb when I see Mark en
Anna’s POV“I know him already. He is the captain, Daniel Locke…” I replied. “Hey, White Shark, prepare the interrogation room. I will speak to him when we get to the headquarters. My husband is there too, right?”“He is,” White Shark replied. “Also, he has been strange. He knew before you were attacked so he must have gotten the information from someone else. I asked about the person who told him about the attack but he has been keeping the secret. To avoid matters getting out of hand, I gave no information to him when we were going to rescue you. He will find out when you get back.”I sighed.“Don’t make things too complicated…” I replied. “My husband is not someone that would betray me or any other person. I will find out the truth when I get back so remain calm until then.”----------------When the car stopped at the headquarters, I entered with a classy feeling. I was confident and this topped my personal charts. I entered and I was welcomed by the agents at the headquarters. Hi
Anna’s POVThe men who kidnapped me were all gazing at me. For sure, they would think I was crazy. Truly, a person who was kidnapped should not have such nerve. I would need to show them how different I was from them. I didn’t have to panic because of them. Although I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t get killed, I had faith in Smith and my other men. Surely, White Shark and Hibiscus would be listening to my voice right now. They would save me for sure.“None of these men knows my name!” he told me coldly. “There are four of them but they call me captain and nothing more. Please, stop talking about my name or I’ll be forced to deal with you harshly.”Then I remembered. The most core value of their organisation was secrecy and I could make him do something he would regret if he got angry.“Oh dear!” I exclaimed. “Your captain’s name used to be Daniel Locke but he bears John Locke right now. He is an adult movie star. Go to porn hub and search for his name. He is not too popular but he h
Anna’s POVThe driver with shaky hands turned on outside communication mode. Now, I could talk and those people could hear. Andy took charge now.“Hey, you should stop this now…” Andy told them carefully. “I am sure you know the person I am transporting. If you didn’t know, you won’t bother doing this much. If you want money, we’ll pay. Please, remove the bombs and let’s sort this out properly.”“We came here for a mission and it is to kill the person you badly wish to protect. I have no reason to kill you as well so you can pay a million dollars for your freedom…” the leader of the men outside said carefully. I looked at Andy carefully and he nodded pitifully.“I don’t have that much on my bank account but I have it in a safe in my house. I can only wire two hundred thousand dollars right now. If you want a million dollars, you can go to my house,” Andy said carefully.“Two hundred thousand dollars sounds great!” the leader exclaimed. “However, how about a better deal. You don’t get
Anna’s POV“Oh! That’s nice!” I exclaimed. “Find out the fellow and report to me before any other person. As for Wolf, do you have any requests?”“I need some men on standby,” Wolf replied. “The men in Dan’s mansion do not look friendly at all and if I am found out by any means, I have no means of escaping. It is better I leave now before my identity is uncovered. Please, send some men over.”“I will consider,” I replied.“Please,” Wolf begged over the call. “I have a bad feeling about this. Trust me, I am fearless but I also take my instincts seriously. We can do this some other time. I need to get out of here but without those men catching onto me.”I took a deep breath.“Hey, White Shark! Are you on the call too?” I asked.“I am…” White Shark replied. “I guess you wish to know what I think about Wolf’s request. I am right, aren’t I?”“You are,” I smiled. I do this regularly these days. “Let me know what you think about this. It might influence my decision a great deal so tell me wh
Anna’s POV“We have a problem, boss,” White Shark stormed into my office. The fact that he called me ‘boss’ made me lit up a smile. It was unexpected but it also felt good for him to acknowledge me. He was formerly one of those men that never believed a lady could be good in other things except on the bed and in the kitchen. I must have changed his mindset. Anyway, he said there was a problem and I needed to hear.“What’s the problem? I’m busy, you know,” I told him carefully.“It is related to this current case and I think we have been found out…” White Shark replied. “I was tailing the CEO of AKS Group as you instructed and I made sure I wasn’t noticed by any of his bodyguards. However, he had secret bodyguards. They weren’t normal bodyguards which I could shake off like that. They seemed to be mercenaries from that secret organisation. I have left no traces though. They shot at my car too even though I never attacked them first.”“Spying on their financier is the same thing as atta
Dan’s POV“Hey!” I shouted. “I know you don’t have any regard for me but just shut your lying tongue or I will cut it out. I never put you in danger. Since I shed your identity to the other guys, how many attempted murders has occurred?”“It was only yesterday,” Mark replied calmly. “No one knows if I will be killed tomorrow. You don’t understand how things works here. I can see the reason why your father does not trust you. You might be the end of this organization.”I slapped him. I knew he could have moved before then but he stood there, breathing hard. I was scared he would punch me but he only stood there. I was the one who slapped him but I was the one afraid. Sammie was still in the room and I could not bear to act like a weakling.“Listen up!” I shouted at him. “I am not a perfect human and no one is perfect. If I am lacking, you tell me instead of telling me I am not capable. Do you know how much it hurts? You should know already.”“I fucking know!” Mark shouted in the loudes
Dan’s POV“We have a problem!” Mark told me over the phone. He was formerly known as Anonymous to me before I got to know his true identity. I heaved a sigh now.“You have never called me for something good. It is always a problem. This must be what made my father age so quickly and even fall sick. Some rest and peace would have been so helpful…” I told him carefully over the phone.“But you still need to listen. There is a reason to believe that someone wants to hurt our financier. Do you remember him? The CEO of AKS Group is the person I mean…” Mark told me carefully. “He is a billionaire and he has bodyguards watching over him. However, our organization provided some undercover mercenaries to keep him safe. Today, they discovered someone watching him.”“Did you capture the person?” I asked shortly.“Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the person behind this. Our men managed to capture the plate number and we are currently tracking the owner of the car. We need your directives
