It was afternoon when a light meal for four people was served on the table in the small cafeteria at Stocks group of companies headquarters in Wheatley. Zieve, Nick, Fuoco and Stephen were sitting around a round table that was freshly laiden with food. Zieve was sitting to the right of Fuoco who was sitting next to the right of Nick. Stephen's seat was placed between Zieve and Nick, in order to keep him away from Fuoco. It was clearly visible from their behaviour that Zieve and Nick weren't happy about Stephen showing interest in Fuoco and they were trying their best to keep them away from each other. It was clearly visible that Fuoco was just trying to have a healthy conversation with Stephen to retrieve information from him and didn't have wrong intentions towards him but Stephen's actions said otherwise. Although, he tried his best to hide it but he couldn't hide it from Zieve's hawk eyes.As soon as, food was served on the table Stephen requested everyone on the table to enjoy the
Fuoco went straight to a washroom because she could feel everybody's eyes on her as she walked away from that table. She was feeling uncomfortable with the unwanted attention she was gaining from everyone. She had no idea where the washroom was so decided to ask from someone. She could have gone back and asked for Stephen's help but then Zieve's face came in front of her eyes and she dropped the plan. She thought to herself that it was better to get lost than asking for help from Stephen in Zieve's presence. She found this act of Zieve very hippocratic because on one hand he pretended that he detasted her while on the other hand he would feel jealous when she would talk with someone even if it is for work. It's not her fault after all if people feel attracted towards her. She never wants that and neither she does something that give out this wrong hint to the other person. It's people who are at fault so technically he should be taking care of them so that they don't act that way. Fu
Fuoco literally ran in the direction of the washroom as soon as that man raised his finger to tell her about it. She wanted some time alone so that she could take a break from the creeps she was surrounded with. The washroom was neat and clean. Anybody could tell that noone had used it since a long time. This wasn't a surprise as Fuoco hadn't seen a single women around that office since she came there. All she could see were men.... of different types.... looking back at her with curiosity and excitement. She quickly turned on the tap and begin to Splash water against her face in order to calm her nerves. The feeling of cold water touching her skin was soothing her. As she spalshed cold water against her skin she felt temporary relief from the irritating feeling that was plaguing her mind. Every nerve of her body was telling her that her decision of coming there on the mission with Zieve and Nick was a terrible mistake. Infact, pitching in for coming to Wheatley to solve this case was
At one of the floor of a main building at Stocks group's headquarter in Wheatley, Fuoco was squatting down to pick scattered white pages that were covering a lot of the corridor space. They looked like weathered leaves fallen from the trees, covering the ground. It's just that they were white in colour and the corridor floor was made of black marble. The white paper were not blank but had printed information on them. Information.... that could be confidential, too, so, she didn't look at them to read their content as it would have appeared rude. Also, it was all a part of stocks group, so, she wasn't interested as well because she was sure there wouldn't be anything that could be of their use (in them). Fuoco was picking them along with the other man who bumped into her, a while ago. It was his fault as well but Fuoco didn't wanted to create a scene, so, she apologized to him while helping him in picking up the scattered papers. The man didn't replied back and she could hear him cursi
After that guy left in a hurry, Fuoco could only glare at his back as he moved away. She was clearly pissed off by his attitude but not much. Earlier, she had misunderstood that he might have bumped into her to strike a conversation with her but as he left without sparing a word to her after gathering the scattered papers, her anger was replaced by amusement. He was quickly out of her sight as he seemed to be in a rush. He was almost running. She couldn't even ask him about his name and honestly, it didn't even occurred to her that she should ask him about it until he was out of her sight. It all happened very fast and now, he was already gone.This was the only thing that made Fuoco feel amused about that guy. He was different from other man working there. Every person that she came across in that office building including Stephen seemed impressed with her and were showing interest in her while this guy she accidentally bumped into doesn't seemed to be bothered by her presence. He wa
Fuoco stopped in her tracks and took a step back to confirm what she saw was right or not. She felt that she saw something white which looked like a paper so it was important to check if she was correct or just imagining things. As she looked on, she noticed a printed white sheet lying near the recycle bin. At first, Fuoco thought it must be some rough paper and decided to ignore it but after walking a few steps, she couldn't resist herself. She came back to have a look at it once in order to be sure. Fuoco knew the information in those files was very important as they were confidential files and even a single page of information from it could cause problems for the company, if landed in wrong hands. So, she was not going to take a risk and therefore, decided to go and check it. She went near that page and bend down to pick it up. It had a watermark that said it was confidential and after seeing it, Fuoco was sure that it was one of the pages from those files that geeky guy was carryi
Fuoco knew reading a confidential report without permission was against their protocol and doing so could put her in a difficult situation with Stocks group. She could be thrown out if the dark knight club and could be imposed with a heavy fine. They can also file a legal law suit against her for breaching the terms and conditions mentioned in her contract as it was one of the condition mentioned in her contract with the dark knight club when she joined it. Initially, She had no intentions of breaking it. She took this step because she harboured good intentions towards the corporation. Fuoco decided to go through the content of that printed paper which dropped from that heap of confidential files the geeky guy was carrying because she had a reason for doing so. A thought had crossed her mind when she was walking towards the cafeteria...... What if that man had knowingly dropped it? What if he was trying to tell me something but couldn't because someone was keeping an eye on him? What
Natalie Samrat aka Fuoco had understood something was going to happen that day which was related to the transportation of goods from the nearby port of Stocks group. She needed time to decode the whole information and it was not a good idea to do it while walking in the corridor. She neatly folded that paper multiple times until it was small enough to fit the back pocket of her trousers. She quickly stuffed it in her back pocket and walked away as if nothing happened.When she was about to reach the cafeteria, she typed a message and send it to Joe. When she entered the small cafeteria area, all the three men (Zieve, Nick and Stephen) looked in her direction from their seats, together. She pulled on a fake smile in response and went to the juice counter. She ordered a glass of mixed fruit juice and begin to wait for it.She was having her back towards the table where all the three men were sitting and she could feel a burning gaze on her back even without looking at them. She knew it
Stephen was clearly harbouring ill intentions towards Fuoco and now, he was showing it without fear. She was his hostage, now. There was no need for him to pretend to be a decent guy in front of Fuoco to impress her. As his truth was already out in front of her, he knew he had nothing to loose. He had been dreaming of having her since the day he saw her for the first time but he had to keep his feelings hidden because of Zieve and Nick. He was on cloud nine after kidnapping them and sending them there because he was dreaming of persuing Fuoco without any disturbance from the two of them. That's why, he was very happy when she approached him in the morning and he didn't suspect any of her moves. Little did he knew that Fuoco was much more than he expected. She acted as if she was just a showpiece and didn't possessed real knowledge. She hid her fighting skills so well and made him believe that she was no threat to him that's why he was angry and taken aback, when he saw her fighting wi
Fuoco's eyes become red with anger and she was looking at Stephen as if she would swallow him. She was not going to tolerate his insolence. She was waiting for one wrong move by him and that would be enough to take things under her control. Until then, she had to bear everything and keep her anger under control. Her face had also turned red because of anger and Stephen chuckled looking at how angry she was. He moved a bit closer and begin to move his gun that he had pointed at her head to her face. The Muzzle of his gun was sending chills through her body from where it was touching her soft skin. He moved it from her forehead to her cheeks and then.... touched her lips with it. Her plum red lips were looking very inviting to him and he was looking at them like a hungry wolf. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he could be seen trying his best to control himself. He teased her lips with the muzzle of his gun and Fuoco clenched her fingers so hard that her nails begin to dig into h
Fuoco was ignoring Stephen's eyes but she could feel his eyes traveling her body, which was making her blood boil. She controlled her anger but Stephen was not going to stop there. He begin to come closer and Fuoco begin to step backward. But, after two steps she could not move further as there was a wall behind her. She stood at her place and begin to wait for Stephen's next move. Stephen stopped just a few inches away from her. She could even feel his breath on herself. She clenched her hands into fists in anger but Stephen was still pointing the gun on her head, so, she couldn't act rashly. Soon, Stephen raised his hand and begin to move it towards her face. Fuoco turned red with anger."What are you doing?" she growled as Stephen reached out to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. She was taken aback. She was wondering what was going on in his evil head. Inside that room which was next to where Fuoco and Stephen were standing, Zieve's patience was giving off. He was thinking of break
Stephen ignored her demeanour and the look she was giving him while crushing those gadgets. Fuoco's eyes were clearly filled with the intent to kill. Once, she was done Stephen told her to go back to her place and stand with her hands up behind her head. Fuoco did as was told and went back to her place. She begin to wait for his next instruction but it never came. Instead, he kept standing in front of her with a gun in his hand pointed towards her. Stephen smirked when he saw Fuoco obeying his instructions obediently. He was staring at her and his eyes kept traveling from her head to her body till her toe. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he looked divided as if he was not being able to decide what he should do. Fuoco could feel goosebumps as Stephen's eyes travelled and scanned every inch of her body. She could feel him scanning her but she didn't looked back at him. She ignored him as if his presence was nothing to her. She was just thinking about how to snatch the gun from
Stephen and Fuoco were standing facing each other. Fuoco could now see his face clearly and confirm that he was Stephen. He stood in front of her with a gun at her forehead at a distance of point zero. She stopped in her tracks and stood at her place motionless. Stephen smirked wickedly at her reaction and begin to come closer. He stopped when his gun touched her forehead. Fuoco could feel the cold metal and an electricity ran through her body. Her sixth sense told her that this man was not going to be an easy one to tackle. She had no fear of her own life but it was just not her but her friends were there too whose lives she couldn't put at risk, so, she decided to play along. Stephen commanded her to raise her hands in the air. Fuoco did as was told and showed him her hands to confirm him that there wasn't any weapon with her that she was hiding. Stephen asked her to take off her jacket and put it aside. Fuoco was taken aback by this command but she didn't had any option other than
"You hid yourself so well... didn't you?" said that man in a familiar voice. Fuoco stopped struggling for a moment and tried to look back at that man but he tightened his hold on her neck to stop her from turning back to look at him. Fuoco begin to struggle as soon as his grip on her neck tightened because she was feeling difficulty in breathing. She was even trying to speak something but was not being able to because of the choking. Fuoco was very much capable of freeing herself but she wanted to play along as it was not her life alone but her friends lives too were at stake. Although, that man loosened his grip a little as soon as he saw her struggle for breathing. Fuoco begin to cough vigorously as soon as the grip around her neck was loosened. After a while, when her breathing returned to normal she spoke," What do you think i hid about myself, Mr. Stephen?" After listening to Fuoco's words, a wicked smile appeared on Stephen's face. Fuoco had recognised him by his voice, despite
Fuoco was held by someone from behind and a gun was placed against her forehead. Her sixth sense was telling her that someone was behind her but when she had looked back at that time she found no one. She decided to go and check it later after tying that man she had knocked unconscious and that was where she made the biggest mistake she shouldn't have done. If she had left that work in the middle and had gone to look around to check if her doubt was correct or not, it would not have happened. Now, she stood there feeling helpless because her one wrong move would have put her live as well as the lives of her friends in danger. She decided to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to attack this unknown person and free herself. The way she was grabbed from behind and the amount of force that was used to do so, Fuoco guessed that this person who was helding her was a man and he was a little taller than her. She begin to wait for that person to speak so that she could identify, who
As soon as Fuoco realised that there was a possibility of involvement of any of those three old groups that his uncle had mentioned and she had forgotten about them, she decided to use this man fighting with her as the source of information to reach those masters behind him. She had by far identified the fighting techniques he was using and she was trained to tackle as well as defeat such an opponent by her Uncle Shera. So, without wasting much time she dodged his attack and did an overhead flip to jump towards his backside. Now, she was facing his back and before he could turn towards her or anticipate her next move, she used both of her hands to attack him. She aimed towards the right side of his neck and with her one hand attacked it with lightening speed while used her another hand to attack one specific place on her lower back. She had attacked specific points of his body with a specific goal in mind- to make him loose his consciousness. Her attack was so swift that the man in bl
Fuoco had recognised the fighting style of that man in black. Both of them were giving a tough fight to each other and now, that man had begin to slow down because he had used a lot of his energy. He had therefore received minor injuries following Fuoco's attack on him that he couldn't dodge timely. He was feeling weaker while Fuoco on the other hand didn't looked tired at all and this was because of her regular training and healthy diet. She was trained to keep fighting for long hours, without getting tired, by using moves that saved a lot of her energy. Her training was monitored by both her father and Uncle Shera since she begin training as a child. Luckily, despite being in coma for seven long years her body hadn't forgotten any of the training she received in her childhood before that uneventful night. As a result, she was able to make a come back in such a short span of time. Fuoco didn't seemed even a bit of flustered and was looking cool as if it was a game of children for he
