I walk towards where I dropped my dagger when the police stormed in, and I pick it up and tugs it in my leather jacket.
I should kill him, that is what I was paid to do. And it’s not only about the money, it is my reputation on the line.But I also don’t want any client thinking that they can control me just because they hired me, used a disguised voice, and made stupid threats.I fear nothing, and especially, no one.“Do you want me to?” I ask him and he gulps.“Well, if you’re talking about murder in the bed department..” He says with a grin as he scans my body.“Oh my gosh.” I say as I shake my head while smiling.“You are unbelievable.” I say with a small smile as I watch him.A few seconds pass between us as we both look at each other.“I like it when you smile.” He says to me, and a weird feeling covers my chest.I don’t know how to describe it, but I like it.I clear my throat loudly and I begin to walk towards the room’s window.“I am not going to kill you, Robert. You are not worthy enough.” I say without looking at him.“I think I’m pretty worthy, especially when your nails were deep within my back.” He says casually.I can tell that these sex comments and jokes comes easy to him.“Do you have to make everything about sex?” I ask as I try to climb out of the open window.“You don’t have to use the window to leave, you know. There’s literally a door over there.” He avoids my question and says as he points towards the direction of the door.I stop my movements.He is right.I can leave through the door easily. I basically have today to freely roam these grounds. The lieutenant really wants that grant processed.I place my leg back down and my eyes land on Robert’s back, reminding me that he’s half naked.He was checking his laptop on the bed.“Hey, pretty boy.” I call his attention, and he turns towards me with a smirk.“Hey, beautiful girl.” He replies, and my cheek begins to feel warm.The hell is happening to me?Am I actually falling for this man whore?He sleeps with everything that moves. From my research, he acquired the position as CEO by sex!He has no qualifications whatsoever; he does not belong in that company.There was a guy that was in line to be the CEO before Robert. He was always on the news, channel eight, to be exact.He was a middle age man that had worked his way up in the company for almost a decade; and when he was finally supposed to be named CEO, everything changed.Robert Jones, the player of the century stepped in.He was working at the company as an secretary to the proprietor, and he was not good at his job. Not at all.But Robert knew he was a good looking, and attractive man. He had sex for common, and so he seduced the proprietor.He slept with her the night before the decision was made concerning the CEO position, and I guess he might have persuaded her real good, because he was announced CEO of the company the next day.The man who was next in line who goes by the name of Victor Sans, quit moments after the decision.He was livid, and swore to get revenge.Come to think of it, my client could be Victor, but I need to do some more research.“What did you mean by I’m special?” I ask him, and he takes a step close to me.“Oh, now. You’re really want to know, huh?” He asks as he locks his lips.“And how are you even okay after such a lethal dose that paralyzed you hours ago?” I ask, intrigued by how okay he is, despite the drug I injected him with.If I had just increased the dosage a bit, he would have been dead.Robert shrugs and says loosely, “I got good doctors.”“Huh.” I say.“Jen..that’s your name, right?” He asks me, but I give him no response.I fold my arms on my chest as I watch him with a small smile.“I’m sure it’s your name. Anyway, I literally thought I was going to die. I thought it was over. But then when you accepted my offer for sex, I was stunned.” He explains.“I never thought it would work, I only said that because I was beyond desperate, and you didn’t want money.” He adds.“Well...” I say.“Yeah, but you were different.” He says as he walks closer to me and squints his eyes, as if he’s trying to figure something out.“That was not just sex for me, and I don’t think it was for you either.” He adds, causing my heart to double its speed for some reason.I open my mouth to speak, but no words comes out.He walks closer again, and this time, he is dangerously close to me.I can smell his cologne strongly.“It was not just sex for you, Jen. Was it?” He asks me as he stares into my eyes.His eyes seems magical.His pupils are really dilated as he stares at me. I also see him wetting his lip, and his breathing rhythm has changed. His wide chest is moving up and down faster than normal.He lifts his hands to touch my face, and I watch him in fascination.All this is new to me, and what I’m feeling right now is euphoric.When his thumb touches my cheek, I close my eyes in response.“You like when I touch you, huh?” He asks and I open my eyes. I can see that his own eyes are filled with lust.He then closes the tiny distance between us, causing his uncovered skin to blanket me.He starts to plant kisses on my neck, causing me to moan from pleasure.“Stop.” I say breathlessly to him, even though I don’t want him to.His rough calloused hands holds the back of my neck as he moves up to my ear with his trail of kisses.Soon his mouth hovers inches over my ear, almost causing my knees to buckle from my emotions.“You should worship me.” He whispers, as the heat of his breath caresses my ear.My voice betrays me as my emotions go wild. Words fail to fall from my lips as feelings I never knew I could feel envelops me.At that moment, I knew that I was never getting free from his ungodly touch.What have I gotten myself in?A knock on the door startles me exactly when Robert squeezes my bosom. We both withdraw from each other quickly.I forgot, the door was left open. At the door stands one of Robert’s guards.When Robert’s eyes lands on
As I begin to awake, my eyes flutters open. My vision is still blurred, but I can tell that my hands are bound by something strong. Could be rope, but it’s so tight.My vision finally clears, and I realize that I am in the back of a vehicle. It looks like it’s a van.When I try to move my legs, I notice that my ankles are also bound. I look down at them, and I see that it’s a thick rope that coils around them.I try to sit down, but the vehicle is moving and makes it hard to do so. No one is here with me. I’m alone, and for a moment fear begins to creep in my heart, but I quickly shut it out.I have been kidnapped, but by who?I swear if Robert has anything to do with this, I will make it my life mission to skin him alive.“Hey, I think she’s awake.” I hear someone say, but when I look around, I see no one.“Let me see.” I hear another voice.My eyes finally lands on a small camera at the corner of the ceiling of the van. It looks like it’s motion det
It’s not Robert Jones or anyone of his guards; nor is it Victor Sans.“I know, right?” He stands up from his chair and begins to walk towards me.“But this can’t be possible, how?” I say more to myself then to anyone.As he gets closer to me, I try to walk backwards, but because my legs are still bound by the rope, I fall backwards onto my butt.“Oh, be careful dear.” The man says.“Tommy, get her loosed, she’s hurting.” The man says to his minion.“But boss, she could literally beat the crap out of us all here, and escape...she’s a professional assassin.” He replies his boss, which causes his boss to frown.“Tommy, now.” He says, his voice sounding authoritative.Tommy walks towards me, but I keep staring at the man. He looks just like my father that it’s scary.When Tommy reaches me, he carefully begins to untie the rope on my hands and ankles.As I look at the man, hot tears begins to escape my eyes without my permission. Seeing him after all these y
“Exactly.” He says and I smile weakly.“So...would you like to have dinner tomorrow night?” He asks hopefully, causing me to scoff.“You know what? I will think about it.” I say and he looks deeply pleased by my answer.He then walks towards his desk and sits back in the huge black spinning chair. He lets out a satisfied sigh, and then looks at me.“I also don’t want you going after Victor.” He says, and my eyes bulge slightly.Who told him about Victor Sans?“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I lie smoothly.“Mmhmm.” He says with a knowing smile.“Victor Sans has a target on your back, you clearly pissed the man off.” My uncle says, and it takes a few seconds for me to process what he has just said.A target on my back?Oh, boy. This is wonderful news!Victor just made this game more fun.“And what did I do?” I ask, pretending still to be innocent.“Victor didn’t say, but almost every assassin out there is out to get you. I’d reckon you
“Robert, slow down!” I yell and he joins the other cars on the right lane.“You’re going to kill us!” I say loudly as a laugh escapes my lips.The traffic is a bit free and he uses that to his advantage.“Whooo!” He yells excitingly as he continues to increase the speed of the SUV.Soon we are on the freeway, and there are less cars, which gives Robert more confidence to speed up.He glances at me for a quick moment, and I catch a glimpse of how carefree he looks. When his eyes meet mine for that quick second, my heart skips a beat. Somebody help me, I’m falling for this man.The car begins to slow down a bit, and the wind flowing through the windows are incredibly strong.I chose a bad day to let my hair down. Now it’s flying all over the place.“Where are you taking me?” I ask him once the car has reached a moderate speed.“Where else? At my house.” He says without looking at me. A smile plays on his lips, and I can’t stop staring at how pink the
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.I rea
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
