What was that all about?

I watch him walk away, the blue business suit on him makes him look regal.

“Robert?” I call after him, as I make a frustrated sound with my teeth.

I walk towards him, but he’s not making it easy, for he keeps walking away from me.

That wasn’t normal. Did I trigger him by letting his hand go? Does this have to do with some kind of trauma?

Considering I have face a boat load of trauma myself, I can empathize with him. A lot of tiny things can trigger me also.

“Robert, wait!” I say again, and before he can climb the staircase, he stops and turns to me.

“What!?” He yells in my face, causing me to flinch.

“I’m sorry.” He says softly when he notices how his yelling affected me.

“No, I’m sorry.” I say to him.

“What are you sorry for?” He asks, and the pain I hear in his voice makes my heart break.

This guy is not okay.

He may look like the happiest person alive when he’s running around sleeping with women, but he’s not.

    A sharp pain arrests my nose and I let out a string of cusses.The white air bag is still inflated and I begin to pat it down until it deflates.I cough a few times as I try to get full awareness of what has happened.When I look forward, I see Victor’s car upside down as smoke rises from it. It is badly smashed, but what startles me is that I see the man crawling from in the almost destroyed vehicle.“Oh no you don’t.” I say as I try to remove myself from the car. The entire front of my car is smashed in, and if it was smashed in a few inches more, I would have been dead.“Come off.” I say as I try to free myself from my seatbelt. It won’t come loose.When I look forward again, I see that Victor has successfully escaped his car, which could blow up anytime, due to the amount of smoke coming from it.I try my best to reach in my leather jacket, and I remove my dagger. When I do, I slice the seatbelt off, and I open the door of my car.When I try to stand, my

    I still remember his words to me the last time we met.He said “And as for you; today is your lucky day. Nothing would save you from me again.” I can’t let him see me, because if he catches me again, even Robert won’t be able to save me.I don’t fear the lieutenant, but he is not to be messed with.“I think I’m okay, I want to call my boyfriend.” I say to the officer and he stares into my eyes.“You’re sure? You don’t look too good.” He replies and then he looks to his colleague. His colleague shrugs, and places his hands in his pocket.“Well, do you have a phone?” He asks me and I nod.“Gosh, your entire nose is swollen. It is broken badly.” The officer says to me as I try to retrieve my phone.I give him a small smile in response.What he’s saying is right, he doesn’t even need to tell me, the pain reminds me every second that my nose is badly injured.When I have taken the phone, I call Chad. He is not my boyfriend, but these officers don’t need to

    “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!”What am I hearing.My eyes flutters open, and the first person I see is Chad.Wait, Chad? Chad is supposed to be in London. He lives there.“Chad?” I try to speak, but my voice barely comes out.He is sitting on the floor next to me, watching something on his phone with great attention.He hears me trying to speak and he looks to me.“Oh, you’re awake.” He places his phone in his pocket.“How do you feel?” He asks. I watch his face and he looks worried. Well, he has no reason to.“I feel quite fine.” I reply him as I start to get up.“No, stay down.” He says with a comforting smile.I like it when he smiles.“I like your smile.” I tell him, and he snorts out a laugh.“You always tell me that, it’s getting old.” He says jokingly.“Well, not to me.” I reply.“I was hearing a weird song when I first woke up.” I say as I sit upright, despite the fact that Chad said other

    His mother? He’s kidding me, right?“I’m not meeting your mother, Robert.” I say as I try to stand. That’s when I notice the bandage around my knee. That was where the shrapnel was.“Goodbye, Jen. See you at 6pm.” He says Ashe walks away. When he reaches the door, he opens it and he steps outside.As he does this, I catch a small glimpse of one of his guards outside.“He has guards that follow him around?” Chad asks with disbelief.“Mmhmm.” I say.“He’s a bit of a show off.” I add, and Chad gives me a look.“A bit? He is hundred percent egocentric.” He says with a small scoff.I am now standing on my feet, and a dull unsettling feeling sits in my knees. I also feel some pressure in my nose.“You’re not seriously going to go to his dinner, are you?” Chad asks as he walks towards the kitchen.I bet he’s going to raid my fridge, and he’s lucky I keep it packed.Chad is a heavy eater, and he gets hungry really fast. His metabolism is superb, and he h

    The target is the Lieutenant. The man is trained to the teeth. But I can’t deny this offer for two reasons.The first is because of my reputation. No matter how difficult or complicated getting a target is, I don’t back down.The second is because of the insane amount of money that this Russell guy is offering.Chad is the one that gets me information about my job offers. I get about twenty per day, but he knows I only take the ones with excellent pay and huge risks.I love the thrill.Chad closes the laptop and places it back into his backpack. “If you’re going to that dinner with Mr. Showoff, then I’m definitely coming along.” He suggests with a straight face.“No, you’re not.” I say to him as I cross my arms on my chest.“Yes, I am. I even have a suit that’d go perfectly with any thing you wear.” He says with one of his famous smiles.“Come on, let me come along. All we do is work, this is actually the first time that you’re going to a dinner party wit

    Well, this is interesting.Chad looks at me and I shrug.Soon, the car carrying us parks right next to the other cars. Then the silver car behind us parks next to us also.Chad is the first to get down from the car, followed by me.We both watch as the two ladies step down from the silver SUV.“Mom, Gwen, you guys made it!” I hear a voice say excitingly. I look towards the source and I see Robert walking towards us. “I couldn’t miss this for the world.” His says and they both walk towards each other and hugs.His mother sure got good taste in clothing. The dress she is wearing is to be envied.Robert then hugs his sister, and they boyyy share a short conversation that ends with her rolling her eyes.Chad and I stand and watch everything happen in fascination. I’m beginning to regret coming here, I feel so out of place.“Jen!” Robert’s voice interrupts me from my thoughts.He eyes my body from head to toe, and he smirks.“You look lovely. Now,

    “What happened to the offer?” I ask him as I try to keep him calm.“Russell is giving it to another person.” He says, and I scoff.I believe there’s a reason behind this decision, and the only reason to find out is to talk to the man himself.“It’s alright.” I say, even though I’m a bit worried that this contract would slip out of our grip.“It’s not, Jen. It’s not.” He says, and his eyes starts to get watery.Why is he so upset? Yeah, it’s a lot of money, and it would be good for our rep, but it’s not that deep.“This isn’t only about loosing the offer, is it?” I ask him and he breathes out a shaky sigh.He takes a few seconds to compose himself, and he sniffles.“My brother is dying.” He says and understanding dawns on me.Wow, that’s his only sibling. Why didn’t he tell me sooner?So he actually left his sick brother in London and came to attend to me here in America just because I was in a car crash.“I thought Patrick was better.” I say soft

    Why does everything keep getting worse?“Chad..” I begin, but he interrupts me.“I know...we need to get there.” He says with a genuine smile.“I don’t want to you worry about Patrick or the Lieutenant. I will take care of it all.” I say and I mean it.“You’re one of the greatest IT or tech person I know. I just need you to focus on moving our funds out of those frozen accounts and into an offshore one. I will personally take care of the Lieutenant real soon.” I add as we both turn around and begin to jog back towards the CEO’s compound.My days are usually eventful, but unlike the past three days of my life. It has been crazy.I was given an target that I didn’t kill, which is a first for me, and has me feeling insecure about my ability as an assassin. Robert Jones was the most easiest target in my entire career, and I seriously messed it up.Now I had to kill my client, Victor Sans, who apparently thought that he could treat me like one of his henchmen

    My eyes widen and I immediately try to open the door of the moving car so I can jump out but all the doors are locked. Adrenaline floods every part of my body, it is like it is all happening so fast and I have no control.“What are you doing? Stop that! Do you want to get yourself killed?” Russell shouts as Usman increases the speed of the car so jumping out would seem more painful to me if I decide to do so.“Stay the hell away from me!” I reply to him aggressively when he tries to reach out to me and he raises his hands in surrender.“Okay, okay,” He says and then he settles back into his seat.“What the hell is going on?” I ask after a full minute of silence. I am much calmer right now, I was acting out of instinct when I realized that the person that was sitting next to the driver was Russell.How is that even possible? Was he not in an induced coma a few days ago? “Are you finished with trying to jump out of a speeding car just to avoid me?” Russell replies to me and I hear Usma

    “Natalie is smart, I will give her that. She had all the video evidence cleared before we could get our hands on it,” Taylor explains and I at everything else in the room but her.“May I ask, who are you professionally?” I ask her, and she smiles lopsidedly.“I work with the police department in Russia, I am the police chief,” She informs me and I nod slowly. “As I was saying, Natalie made the investigation a lot more difficult for us. Her skills in covering evidence are impressive, but I believe that she got some inside help,” Taylor continues what she was explaining.“And?” I beckon her to explain more. If Natalie covered up our tracks so well, how does she know that Natalie did it? That she was the one that pulled the trigger and not me.“I know you want to know how I know that she was the one who pulled the trigger, and I am going to explain just that to you,” Taylor tells me.“Okay,” I drag the word as I wait for her to tell me what she knows.“I am Russell’s third wife and it h

    What in the world is happening? Why am I even being arrested? Even if this is about Russell Marshall’s investigation, the person they should be arresting is Natalie, I was not the one that shot the man in the head.“This has to be a joke, right?” Chad laughs but when he sees that the military guys are not even smiling, he realizes that this is serious.I gave the piece of document that they handed to me, I read it quickly and it authorizes them to arrest me, but what I don’t see is the charge.“Your hands, please,” One of the military guards says a bit softly and I do as he says. I place my hands behind my head and I hear Chad scoff.“Do you want us to do something?” The guards that we have at the entrance ask me but I disagree by wagging my head. It would only make things worse, from experience, going peacefully with the authorities is always the best thing to do.“I am calling Robert, and then the lawyer. We would get this settled in no time,” Chad tries to comfort me as he makes a

    Yes, we certainly need to talk. I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs onto James.I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.“So what are doing?” Cara asks no one in particular

    “What do you mean that he’s alive?” I ask Robert as he stands to his feet, he looks worried but that is in no way compared to how I feel right now. Gosh, does Natalie know this? I need more information.“Which news channel did you learn that from?” I fire another question at Robert, not giving him the chance to answer the first. “Here, take a look, it is all over social media, and all the big news broadcasters are airing it,” Robert says as he hands his phone to me. The last time I held it was when I found out that he was partially cheating on me.I can not say that he was actually cheating because he did not sleep with Amanda, but he did receive nudes from her and whatnot. In my book, that is cheating, but I am just going to call it partially cheating in light of what Robert and Amanda explained to me.But that is not the issue at hand right now, we have a huge freaking problem. I need to get dressed and let Natalie and Cara know what has happened.I take the phone from Robert and I

    Some might say that we are moving a bit too fast, but I have known Robert for close to a year now. Still, it seems like such a limited amount of time to decide to spend your entire life with someone, but why wait any longer?Robert and I have had our fair share of storms and problems, but we have weathered everyone one of them, plus we have a great support system. Chad, James, Carlos, and Jake are sure to be there for us if we happen to begin to feel the storms of life raging again, and of course, we will.The amount of crazy that I have been through individually is insane, my entire life has been far from normal and I am starting to stop wanting normal. Besides, normal is a bit overrated. Marrying someone you have known for only almost a year is not very expected, or should I say, normal? But that is the thing, I am not normal and do not even want to be anymore.“Well?” Robert asks me as I drag my body off the unmade bed. He suggested that we should get married next week after I ment

    I can not believe that this just happened, Robert proposed to me! This is amazing and I feel so good, but I also feel like this is too good and I don’t deserve it. But I am just going to sum that up as insecurity trying to present itself in the form of me not being worth it enough to get proposed to.After I said yes, I think Jake was more excited than everyone else. Chad and the others came out soon after and I have a strong feeling that they somehow knew that Robert was going to propose. Robert placed a very expensive ring on my finger and he rose from his kneeling, I placed Jake in the chair where I was sitting and Robert and I embraced. We then shared a kiss and everyone joined Jake as he clapped. As soon as the applause died, the rain ceased gradually and the sun began to shine through the dark clouds. It seemed too perfect that I literally had to pinch myself two times to make sure that I was not dreaming. Good thing I was not, because I would have been so mad at myself.We e

    It is usually sunny here, but today is different, and besides, it is a Saturday. I think the weather chose the best time to be like this, I don’t have to drive Jake to school and I get to spend the entire day with him.Yesterday was so eventful, I had to explain all that happened to me in Russia to Robert, James, Carlos, and Chad about three times before they finally could grasp it all. I also had the responsibility of explaining why I have suddenly decided to trust and forgive someone that caused me so much trauma, Cara was quiet when I took my time to make them all understand that I have finally decided to bury the hatchet concerning what she did.I am not going to pretend like I don’t feel a stab of emotional pain when I look at her, but I am going to try my best to move on. I am currently sitting on the porch alone while listening to the beating of the rain on the ground and roof, it is very soothing and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Everybody else is in the house and

    I open the door of the house and I walk in as Cara follows behind me slowly and tentatively. We are out of Russia and in Cyprus, though only Cara came along. Natalie took a later flight because she wanted to come with Susan, her grandmother.It took us a couple of hours to fly from Russia to Cyprus, especially because I did not have my passport on me. Cara had to pull some strings and call in some favors at airport security, and to my pleasant surprise, it all worked out smoothly.“Are you sure that they would want to see me?” I hear Cara’s voice as we walk further into the house. Everything looks pretty much the same, but I don’t see anyone here. “Where is everyone?” I say to myself in a low tone as I continue to explore the house.Suddenly I hear heavy footsteps and I look toward the source, someone is walking down the stairs. As soon as the person's eyes meet mine, they stop in their tracks.“Whoa, am I tripping, or am I seeing Jen Davis?” Chad asks me and he continues his descent
