“Where the hell is she? It's been 2 hours and this was her idea.” Astrid said as she tried calling Eden for the 7th time.

“I can't reach her either.” Sienna said, putting her phone away.

The two were standing outside the club they agreed to meet waiting for their third friend, who was no show. This was really unusual of Eden, she was never this late to meet ups.

“Oh, i know, our find my friend app, she has to have her phone on her at least.” Astrid said.

“Wait, what if she's with Malakai? Call him.” Sienna said. Astried dialled her boss’ number and Malakai picked up 3 rings later.

“Astrid? Something wrong? You never call me.” Malakai asked. He would usually send her missions and she would text back, calling was never a thing.

“I was just wondering if Eden was with you. She's not here yet even though she was supposed to be 2 hours ago.” Astrid explained and Malakai got instantly worried, especially now knowing the existence of Elijah.

    Malakai got into the back of the car with Eden, Astrid at the front with Sienna obviously driving. Malakai looked at Eden and got so damn worried. Whoever did this to her was going to pay in blood. “Go to the agency, we have an infirmary there.” Malakai told Sienna. “No, we could be followed. Elijah was trying to get the location of the agency and your house out of me.” Eden explained. “We’ll go to mine.” Astrid suggested and in another 10 minutes, they reached her apartment making sure they weren't followed. “I’m so sorry baby, I said I would protect you, and this is the complete opposite.” Malakai said, pulling Eden to his side kissing the top of her head. “It's okay, this wasn't your fault.” Eden said close to passing out again. They reached Astrid’s apartment and Malakai carried her inside, placing her on the sofa. He went to look out the window to see if they had been followed, thankfully there was no one, they were in the clear right now. Astrid was a trained first aide

    What was Malakai's car doing at Malakai's house? Now that might sound strange but Alec knew Eden still had it. So either she returned it, or she was here. And the second part didn't settle well in Alec's stomach. He went up the steps and knocked on the door, no answer. He then rang the doorbell. The two were upstairs in Malakai's room still messing around when Eden heard the bell. Malakai was on top of her, his body situated between Eden's legs as he attacked Eden's neck with kisses and marks along the skin that was his canvas. Eden heard the bell as Malakai was a little too busy and tried to stop the older man. Her one hand was around his neck and the other hand was tangled into her boyfriend's black locks which she occasionally tugged on. "Kai stop." She barely said and thankfully Malakai heard. "Yes baby." He said brushing Eden's hair away from her face. "The doorbell just rang." Eden informed. "They'll go away." Malakai said with a pout and was about to kiss Eden aga

    In the evening, the two left together to the club, they went together in the car which Eden insisted on driving. The two arrived at the club and everything seemed fine. Alec was nowhere to be seen but Eden could see Astrid at the bar. They walked through the doors with Malakai's arm around Eden's waist and to say that turned some heads would be an understatement, Astrid saw and was proud of her friend. "Hey Lix. Boss. I would hate to say anything like I told you so, but I called it." Astrid said to Eden who rolled her eyes at her friend. "What does she mean?" Malakai asked and Astrid smiled cheekily. "From the very beginning Astrid kept telling me you looked at me with hearts in your eyes. Her words, not mine." Eden answered and Malakai looked at Astrid and could see a literal child. Astrid was a teenager when Malakai met her and offered her to work for Malakai. Astrid had some problems at home and always ran from home, Malakai noticed obviously and wanted to help her. To be

    Malakai was pacing in the hospital as Astrid sat down on one of those horribly uncomfortable chairs waiting for a doctor. It had been an hour since Eden was rushed to the hospital, seeing her unconscious on the club's floor sobered Malakai up completely so he was capable of driving. I think. He still had to drink some water while driving though. Astrid went with since after seeing the sight of Malakai and that girl, he didn't trust Malakai near Eden in this state. Thankfully the doctor came out soon and the two went to her quickly. "Family of Eden Salvatore?" She asked and the two replied that Malakai was her boyfriend and Astrid her sister. The two were close enough to be sisters anyway. "Eden is okay, her mind shut down due to shock and her body was temporarily paralysed also from shock. The bruising and the cuts on her also made her weak so that contributed. From what you told me, you caught her before she hit the floor which is very good since it could've caused a concus

    Eden released a breath she didn't know she was holding. She looked at her hand and remembered Malakai's words. 'Never forget that.' She could never forget Malakai's love for her. It was his love that made her the happiest she could be in such a short time. However, at the same time, she couldn't get the image of Malakai kissing someone else out of her head. That someone else being her ex and a person who claims to still love her after 3 years. This was all so much to deal with. So much that Eden started crying. The tears she held in for so long were finally flowing down her cheeks as she wiped them. She remembered more of Malakai's words. 'Your freckles are stars Eden. All the stars couldn't fit in your eyes so they spread across your cheeks' The memory made her cry even more. Astrid came back in and saw the blond in tears and came to hug her, Eden hugging back. "Oh Eddie. Shh, everything will be okay." Astrid comforted but it made Eden sob even more. Will everything rea

    "Cut my big brother some slack, he loves you." What the fuck? Fantastic, now Eden was being haunted by the ghost of her boyfriend's sister. Astrid saw the shock and grabbed her phone. "Please don't pass out again." She said when she saw Eden's face which was completely frozen as were her hands. "I won't. I think. Astrid, what the hell is this? I can't deal with all this in one day." She's supposed to be dead, why was she texting her. "Ignore it for now. Okay? You need to not concentrate on these things. Let me see the profiles Malakai said, we can go murder people instead. How does that sound?" Eden laughed at Astrids words and nodded. The youngest always found a way to make Eden laugh and she was glad because she needed it. A few hours had passed and Eden and Astrid had eliminated 3 out of 6 people on their list. Fraudsters, drug dealers and a stupidly rich CEO were now crossed off. They now had a gang member, another CEO and some political leader left. Eden thought al

    "These what ifs are getting us nowhere. Why don't we try finding out hmm?" Malakai nodded and started typing out a text. "Li-li?" He said and Eden smiled. That must've been Malakai's nickname for her, it was adorable. "Kai?" The reply was almost instant like she was waiting. That's why Malakai loved it when Eden called him Kai, his sister used to call it him too. Not many people call Malakai Kai, probably only Eden and Alec. Eden had her arm around Malakais neck since her legs were over Malakai's lap so she could see. Without hesitation, Malakai clicked the 'call' button and waited for a few seconds before Lilith picked up. "I-is it really you?" Malakai said, the tears in his eyes building up. "Yeah." That single word response made Malakai sob out in relief, the tears freely flowing through his voice. "I'll see you soon big brother." Lilith said and hung up. What? Soon? Lilith texted and called to let them know she was alive. That was the only explanation Malakai had.

    2 days later Eden and Malakai were the best they could've been. They still had some answers they wanted but other than that, it didn't seem like anything was getting in the way. But of course luck was never on their side. "Have you asked Alec why he kissed you yet?" Eden asked randomly as she was lounging in Malakai's office on her phone. "No, but I didn't think I needed to. He apologised." Malakai said without looking up at his girlfriend and that agitated Eden. "There was a reason he kissed you, yeah he apologised but that's not an explanation. Haven't you ever heard the saying 'drunk words are sober thoughts?'" Eden continued and Malakai still hadn't looked up. "That doesn't prove he had a motive. He was drunk out of his mind Eden, we all were." Malakai's eyes were flicking to the documents in front of him and his laptop and not once to his lover. "He kissed you with something in mind, but you're obviously not getting that." Eden was getting annoyed now and the other wa

    "That's not what I meant baby. I meant, I never saw Alec because the only one I saw was you. Please don't think what I think you're thinking. I-" Eden cut Malakai off with a kiss. "I was kidding. I know what you mean, don't worry. Alec wanted love, and even though Lilith gave it to him, it wasn't the type of love he needed. I wouldn't ever blame you, no one does so you need to stop blaming yourself. Please." Eden said and put her arms around Malakai. "I can't help it, baby. You know that. I can't help but think that maybe, at some point, if I gave him a chance, he'd still be here. 8 years Eden. 8 fucking years he felt like that. And I'm sorry you had to put up with the depressed me, you were hurting too." Malakai said and tears were already gathering, one had escaped and Eden wiped it away. "You can't blame yourself for any of this. I didn't HAVE to put up with you, I did it because I love you. I chose to be there for all of you, and you've apologised to me for years about this M

    "Come on, let's eat. We'll do presents after." Sienna said and rounded up everyone to come to the table. "Come on little princess. If you finish your food, I'll give you ice cream, like I promised." Sienna said to Nicola, her daughter. Eric and Sienna had a baby girl 3 years ago and got married 2 years ago. Yeah, they apparently wanted to do it the other way around. Kids first then marriage. They were a weird couple but everyone loved them so it didn't matter. "Baby, come on." Astrid said to Aiden who just came back from the restroom. Astrid and Aiden had officially started to date a year ago, they went on a mission together once and formed a connection somehow. Then they started going out. The garden was beautifully decorated all thanks to Sienna and Astrid who worked together to prepare this small get together for Eden's birthday. There were fairy lights and lanterns lighting the place up, a barbecue and the table was set up perfectly with all sorts of flowers. It was sm

    4 years later "Eden. Your food is getting cold!" Someone shouted to her from outside "Coming." She shouted back as she put on her last earring and looked at herself in the mirror feeling pretty satisfied. "You look stunning as always. My pretty baby." Her husband said from the doorway as he was walking in. He came behind her and hugged her, locking eyes with her in the mirror. "Is everyone here?" Eden asked and Malakai nodded. "Eric is calling for you. The rest are here and everyone is pretty much chilling. Oh, and your food isn't getting cold Eric is trying to lure you out. And I said I would come get you." Malakai told her and Eden rolled her eyes, typical Eric. "Aunty Eddie!" A small voice said and Eden turned around in an instant at the sweet sound. "My baby. How are you Nic?" Eden asked, picking up the 3 year old girl. "Daddy cawing yu." The little girl said in broken words, she had started to speak and Eden found it adorable. "Okay, let's go see what daddy wants." Eden

    "What are you doing here?" Eden asked her parents who stood before her with an unreadable expression. "We wanted to see you. Is that so bad?" Eden's father said. "How did you even know where I was?" Eden asked again. It was unusual for her parents to show up here of all places. "I made Eric tell us. Don't be mad at him, we didn't give him much choice." Eden's mother said but her voice was cold. "Why? After all these years? And you even kept track of me according to Eric." Eden said. The 4 were in Malakai's main living room, no one had sat down since Eden started the questions as soon as she saw her mom and dad. Malakai was beside Eden for moral support and Eden was so grateful. "Because we found out about you being a killer. We didn't raise you to be a criminal." Eden's father said, his tone made Eden flinch. "The second you kicked me out, was the second you no longer had a say in my life. You wanted me gone. I was gone. Hell I even came all the way to LA to get away from you.

    The shots echoed in his ear even through the protective headgear he wore. His hand was steady but not as it normally would be. He had too much on his mind and it was affecting his skills. What was this feeling in his heart? Whatever it was, it wasn't allowing him to shoot properly and that frustrated him. He was about to put the weapons down until someone stopped him. "You came." The ravenette said when he turned around. "You called." The other said in return. "You're not going to give up that easily are you?" Her voice rang in his ears as she referred to Alec putting his gun down. "The gun doesn't seem to want to do what I want it to. I'm normally a perfect shot." he said. "I know, I've seen you." Lilith came up behind him and raised Alec's hands to the target again. He was so close Alec felt her breath on his neck, his back was against her chest and her arms wrapped around Alec's hands steadying the gun for him. "Come on, concentrate, I know you can still shoot perfectly eve

    The blond started to stir awake, her eyes fluttering as she got used to the light and he saw her boyfriend staring down at her. She wouldn't mind waking up like this every day for the rest of her life. She smiled and greeted him."Good morning baby." Malakai beat her to it, his deep morning voice giving Eden chills. "Good morning." She said back and put her arm over the other. "Sleep okay?" Malakai asked and Eden just nodded. "What about your stitches?" Eden asked, becoming worried and looking at Malakai's stomach to see the bandage. It seemed okay. "It's okay baby, I just need to change the bandage, stop worrying." Malakai said finding it endearing how much Eden was looking after him. "I can't help it, I'll be your personal doctor if you want." She said with an innocent face and Malakai smiled and nodded. "I never asked, how has everything been? Y'know, the whole mess with Elijah?" Malakai asked. He tried to put it off, he really did but he couldn't help it. "Work? Seriously?

    It had been another week and Malakai was finally being discharged from the hospital. He'd been stuck in the same room for so long he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore. So finally getting some fresh air was like heaven to him. He signed the discharge papers and Eden was with him so they both went to the car and Eden drove back to Malakai's house. She felt complete with the older beside her, safe and alive. "What are you thinking about?" Malakai asked, breaking the comfortable silence. "Nothing really, just... my parents." Eden said and Malakai was confused. This was very sudden. "Your parents?" Malakai repeated. "My parents. When you were unconscious, Eric called them. Told them a few things. Missed out the part about you in hospital and now they want to see me again. They think that I'm in this mess because they kicked me out. That I'm living this life because of them." Eden explained and Malakai took it in. They want to see her again.“Wait, I remember, you told me this. App

    Lilith and Astrid were watching from the widow of the doors and smiled. They had been through a lot together. "They'll be okay." Lilith said and Astrid couldn't agree more. They saw from the windows that the two kept talking with such love in their eyes, so they decided to leave them alone. The 3 left and only 2 remained. Malakai still had yet to ask about the situation of the agency, Elijah and all the rest of it. But it could wait, he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend first. I mean, his life flashed before his eyes, he could've died. He was so close to dying and his only thought was Eden. He needed to make sure he stayed with Eden, protected her. Loved her. "I told you not to go." Eden said, pouting and sighed. Eden wouldn't let it go for the past 10 minutes. "I had to. Look at the bright side. I was able to stop them." Malakai said back. “No you weren't, he escaped and I had to go after him, again, meaning your attempt was useless.” Eden said, rolling her eyes.“Well

    Black vans and SUVs pulled up to a glass building in Virginia. Not literal glass but a skyscraper, it seemed like some sort of company building. The door was opened for Eden by Astrid, she walked out dressed in all black. She wore a black cropped shirt, a skirt going mid thighs and a black blazer that had the sleeves rolled up. She had her sunglasses perched on her head and she looked like a true business woman, a girl who made her own way in life. Eden screamed rich. With Alec on one side of her and Astrid on the other as her bodyguards, they walked into the building. All eyes turned to them as they walked with authority, but they had to be stopped and checked for security reasons. However, a certain man stopped that.“There's no need to search them, they're my guests.” Said a tall man who looked to be in his 40s. He walked up to Eden and greeted her.“Eden De Luca I presume?” The man said and Astrid snickered and tried not to laugh as Eden corrected him. Alec just stood there like
