Defrosting Her Cold Heart Chapter Five
Lucas paused in pain, missing the time to counterattack; by the time he could get himself together, she had already run into the forest. Watching her escape, he didn't look surprised but narrowed his eyes and looked at her back view. Wondering who she could be, he thought at first that she was an accomplice of the assassin, but obviously, she did not aim at him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have escaped so quickly. A girl in the orphanage who was so good at martial arts couldn't be an ordinary person. She was just a teenager _What is her real identity? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day, the radio in the orphanage rang out, and the voice of Director Steve ordered all the children in the orphanage to gather in the assembly hall. Both boys and girls must be present. After the News, Director Steve turned around and looked respectfully at Lucas who was expressionless.”Mr Blackwood, all the children will be present soon. We thought you would select from the list we provided to you, but you sa

Outside the Old Building, Lucas paused outside the aging structure, his sharp gaze sweeping over its crumbling facade. The wood of the door was splintered, and the windows, clouded with grime, cast a faint, eerie reflection in the late afternoon light.Behind him, Director Steve shifted nervously, his hands wringing together. "This building," he began, his voice a touch too quick, "was constructed fifty years ago, back when the orphanage was first established. It’s long past its prime. The children who lived here were moved to the newer facility years ago. Hardly anyone comes here anymore."Lucas didn’t respond, his attention fixed on the moss creeping over the narrow stone path leading to the door. Its green fingers blanketed the ground as though nature itself had claimed the area—yet he noticed the abrupt break in the pattern.The section nearest to the main road was suspiciously bare, its stone surface worn smooth by the unmistakable rhythm of regular footsteps."Hardly anyone," Lu

Casey paced the small room, her mind racing. The orphanage had been her prison for too long, a place where she had been treated like an unwanted stray—fed just enough to keep her alive, drugged enough to keep her docile. But no more. She moved to the wooden wardrobe in the corner, opening it silently. There wasn’t much inside—just a few tattered shirts, worn-out pants, and an old jacket that had seen better days. None of it mattered. She wasn’t planning on taking much with her. Instead, she reached beneath the pile of clothes and pulled out a small bundle wrapped in cloth. Carefully, she unwrapped it, revealing another thin, sharp knife. It was small enough to be hidden easily but deadly in the right hands. She had stolen it from the kitchen months ago, keeping it hidden under her mattress until she was ready. Tonight, she will be. Her gaze flickered to the locked door. The orphanage followed a strict schedule—lights out at nine, the doors locked by ten, and patrols by the instruc

The underground arena reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows across the faces of the spectators, their voices a mix of jeers and excited murmurs. The floor of the ring was stained—a testament to the countless fights that had taken place here. Casey stood in the center, her frame seemingly smaller compared to the towering opponent before her. He was a beast of a man—muscles thick, veins bulging, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. “She won’t last a minute,” someone in the crowd snickered. Casey ignored them. The fight master raised his hand. “Start!” Her opponent lunged, aiming a brutal punch at her face. But he was too slow. Casey ducked, the air whistling past her ear as his fist missed by mere inches. Before he could recover, she pivoted sharply, driving her elbow into his ribs. A satisfying gru

Casey had followed Andrew in silence for what felt like hours. Her instincts screamed caution, but curiosity edged out her wariness. She had nothing to lose—and if this so-called "base" turned out to be a trap, she’d deal with it.When they finally reached a massive industrial building on the outskirts of the city, Casey slowed her steps. The structure was imposing—tall concrete walls, security cameras perched at every corner, and a reinforced gate that spoke volumes about whatever was going on inside.“This the place?” Casey asked, eyeing the building with suspicion.Andrew nodded, shifting nervously. “Yeah. Don’t let the outside fool you—it’s safer in there than out here.”Safer for who? Casey thought. Her gaze scanned the perimeter, noting the guards patrolling with practiced ease. Their movements were sharp—military precision. This wasn’t some street-level gang hideout. It was something else.Instead of going through the front entrance, Andrew led her toward a side door tucked awa

Casey’s expression remained cold and unreadable as she took a step back, her gaze flickering toward the black SUVs. The air was thick with tension, every man in the area standing at attention, waiting for their boss to step out.Her instincts screamed at her—this was dangerous. Too dangerous.She had been reckless to follow Andrew here without knowing what she was getting into. Now, standing at the edge of a crowd that treated her like some rare creature, she realized she was playing with fire.With a casual yet firm tone, she spoke.“Your base is not suitable for me. I am not interested anymore. I’ll be off in a minute.”A murmur rippled through the men. No one simply rejected M Base.Austin scoffed, “Where do you think you’re going? You saved Andrew’s life, and that’s not something we forget. Since you have such great martial skills, why don’t you just stay? M Base could use someone like you.”Casey narrowed her eyes. “I don’t need a place to stay.”Andrew quickly stepped closer, lo

Silence fell over the training ground.The men stepped back, forming a rough circle around Casey and Lucas. Some exchanged amused glances, clearly expecting the ‘newcomer’ to be put in their place.Lucas didn’t move. He merely stood there, his hands in his pockets, exuding an aura of effortless authority.Casey met his gaze, her body completely still, her mind sharp.She had fought countless men before—street thugs, underground fighters, survivalists who clawed for their next meal.But Lucas was different.He wasn’t just another fighter. He was a predator—one who was used to people following his orders without question.“Time’s ticking,” Lucas said smoothly, his voice calm, almost bored.Casey smirked. “You sure you want to do this in front of your men?”A few of the men let out low whistles.Austin chuckled. “This one’s got guts.”Lucas’s expression remained unreadable, but the slight narrowing of his eyes told her he wasn’t amused.Then, without warning, Casey moved.A blur of speed

Casey kicked out suddenly, her legs thrashing, her body arching off the bed as she tried to resist the drug in her body system but couldn't due to the heavy dose of tranquilizer injected into her body; her limbs soon relaxed, surrendering to the numbness. Observing her defiance, one of the doctors remarked to the others, "She's fighting the sedative," The doctor noted, "despite her severe injuries. We need to find a way to calm her down.”Director Steve, The head of the orphanage watched the 18-year-old on the bed with a mixture of fascination and concern, his eyes crinkled in thought.Her file lay open on his desk, detailing her remarkable history. Found severely injured near a rural village, she had been raised by wolves since birth. Rescued at five, she was adopted by a loving family, only to lose them to bandits a year later.A nurse whispered to a colleague, "Wolves raised her, can you believe it? Found in a cave, taken in by a stranger who adopted her to his family at age five

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§The mist obscured her view, but she could sense coldness in the dark eyes.She hadn’t expected that she would fall off the tree so easily and slide into the spring, nor did she expect that someone would be in the spring…The man in the spring concealed his surprise, looking at the boy sticking his head out of the water and staring at him in the mist. “What? You want to join me?” Lucas asked, his voice low and even.Casey hesitated, unsure how to respond to why she fell from the tree into the spring; her gaze darted between Lucas's imposing figure and the darkness beyond the spring, her mind racing. Water droplets clung to her lashes as she weighed her options, her voice caught in her throat. She hadn't seen him in an orphanage before; he must be a member of the M base, but she was unsure of his position in the base.She slowly slid down to hide half of her face underwater calmly so only her calm, cold eyes could be seen.Seeing him staying motionless, Lucas stays in t

Standing up to get back to his room, the boys scurried away fearfully, thinking he was coming for them again.“ Shit, Casey has only been in the orphanage for just a few months; he has never been close to anyone. This is the first time they saw him fight despite his cold temper. No one expected him to be so strong.°~°~°~°~°~°~°At night,This was one of the largest orphanages in Los Angeles, with a large number of orphans. The people from the base arrived at the orphanage in the afternoon, but due to the huge amount of orphans on the list, they had to stay there for the night and continue the screening tomorrow.Casey retired to her room, seeking refuge in sleep. After all, she had nothing else to do than sleep, eat, and stroll around, but due to movements around the orphanage, she couldn't go to sleep peacefully.She opened her eyes, sat up on her bed, looking out her window, thinking maybe she should just go for a dip at the natural hot spring she found a few weeks ago at the back
