Baston groans in pain and pushes himself up, it hurts everywhere. The frown on his face was very visible, he looked as though he'd been flogged with a flesh plucker.A sigh escaped his lips, and he leaned back on the wall in total defeat. Had he known, he would have given the damn angel some distance.He frowns even more at the thought of Audrey, he wonders where she is and what might have happened."Shit!" He exclaims and pushes himself up. He needs to look for her before Cannon finds out she's not with him or else, he won't live to see the dawn.He walks out of the room with so much difficulty, hands tightly grab his left rib and he limps down the stairs.He was about to head outside when someone called him from behind, he could tell from the voice that it was Audrey.He felt so relieved but when he turned around, he was met with Cannon's stern and domineering gaze on him. In fear, he gulps down and lowers his gaze."Are you ok? You look hurt, " She said, and reached out to him.Bas
Audrey woke up to an empty bed, the room was as cold as the cold night sky void of any stars and the silence couldn't be ignored. Fright grips her heart, pushes herself off the bed and rushes out immediately. She could tell something was off, and it scares her.Downstairs, she was met with men in their usual black suits standing in front of a door. They look tense yet they were trying not to show it.She was curious but didn't dare to push through until the door pushed open and Cannon was made visible.As if being urged, she runs to him and buries her small self into his embrace. She feels more relaxed, it was as though those men would've strangled her if she had uttered a word."What's going on?" She asked peeping by the side trying to see what was going on inside the room."Why did you wake up this early?" Cannon asked instead of answering her questions.He wanted her to rest more because of the stressful day she had."I don't know why but I suddenly felt lonely when you left" she
The room was immersed in complete silence, she stares at the man before her still trying to process all the information he's said.She opened her mouth to disagree with everything but the look on his face left her speechless. She could feel it, there was no doubt whatever he was saying was nothing but the truth."Am I truly an angel?" She stammered, still in disbelief.Canon tilted his head to the side but didn't respond, his gaze was somewhat different. It was so intense like he was trying to heat her from within.As if reacting to his hot gaze, Audrey gulps down and adjusts herself when she realizes she was in his shirt and nothing else.She glances at the door pondering on what to say to bring his attention back to their discussion."How is Baston?" She forces herself to ask something.Only then did the man's gaze leave her thigh, "bad!" He spoke out without holding back.Audrey frowns, "what do you mean by bad?" She asked in confusion. She can't quite remember he said Baston could
The guilt in Audrey didn't let her sleep, even though Cannon had compelled her to, it was as though it wasn't working. She opens her eyes when she could agree with both her heart and her sense that Cannon was no longer in the room.She quietly sneaks herself out of the room, making sure no one sees her. Baston was lifelessly lying on the bed when she walked in.Without realizing it, tears kept on streaming down her face endlessly as she stared at him.The bruise on his arm was very visible, it was hard for her to believe she did that to him. Slowly, she reaches out to him and squeezes his hands on her."I'm sorry" she voiced out with a cracked voice. Nothing hurts her more than the fact she is responsible and he was only trying to keep her safe"I... It was never intentional, I didn't know what came over me" she struggles to explain.Her sad and tearful face changed into a confident and decisive one. "I will get you back on your feet, I promise" she wipes away her tears.Seeing him ly
"This is going errant" Wendigo exclaims in anger as he stares at the city view through the glass wall.He can't believe their plans went down the drain as though they never had any."I knew it" he breathed out with grit teeth.While he rant and rant, Black gun seems so lost in his thoughts. Nothing else occupies his mind than the scene of the previous night."Just how can he not be affected by bullets?" He asked Wendigo, who threw him a deadly glance."If I could answer that, then I'm sure I won't be as pissed as you right now" He lashes out.The atmosphere was gloomy and intense, and both were ready to vent their anger at each other.While they choked on their anger and failure, a guard walks in and whispers something to Wendigo, he turns to Black gun with a frown." What? " Black gun asked, seeing the intense gaze at him." Did you invite anyone over? " Wendigo asked with so much curiosity."no, why? " Black gun returns the question, with a slightly raised brow." Someone is here to
"As I was saying" Aurelia turns to Black Gun ignoring Wendigo as if he doesn't exist, "There can never be a win when it comes to fighting against the devil" she informs."How then do you think you can help us?" Asked Black Gun curious to know why she said it was impossible yet she is assuring them she can help them win.Aurelia glanced at the men with a smirk, "Only I know that one thing that can send him to hell and never returns" Her tone was confident.The frown on the black gun's face couldn't be hidden as he asked, "What's that?" He was curious.Aurelia glanced at Wendigo before saying, "Can't throw my pages before you while you still regard me as an intruder" She was directing her question to Wendigo without making it sound so obvious."How else do you want us to react so you know we see you as a partner?" Black Gun asked."A proper welcome will be highly appreciated, something like a nice dinner and hot rose bath to rest my mind," she said but the smile in her eyes caught Black
"Love it?" Cannon asked from behind, hands immersed in his trouser.Audrey turns and meets his gaze, he looks so beautiful under the sun. His golden eyes glow brightly as if compared with the sun. She answers with a hum and blinks at him, his tall figure towers over her as she stares at him from below."Thank you" She breaks the silence. Though she has been wishing for this moment, it gladdens her to experience it with him.Cannon stares at her for a long time with an unfathomable gaze, he moves closer and takes the seat next to her on the sand."Tell me bunny, why do you like such views?" He asked. He's been wondering what's so beautiful about the sea that she kept on nagging for them to have a trip."Everything" She voiced with a smile, "the waters, the reflection of the bright sky on the waters, the smell of the fresh breeze and the comfort feeling it brings with it" she explains." I'd always felt alone ever since I lost my mom but then, every time I sit next to the beach, it rem
As soon as Audrey enters the house the door closes with a loud bang leaving her stunned and frozen.While she was struggling to calm down her frightened nerves, Cannon's tall figure hovered over her as though a predator had its prey on its fangs waiting to bite through."W-what are you d-doing?" She stutters, taking counting steps back. For some reason, she was scared.The way he looked at her, those eyes. She could swear there are hidden agendas in that mysterious look."Tell me bunny, what's your aim?" He asked, taking countless strides towards her until she could no longer move.Audrey frowns at his word, "Aim? What aim?" She asked in confusion.He reaches out for her face, grabs her chin and makes her look at him, "You should know I don't, I don't lay low before an attractive little bunny" He caresses her lower lips.A gasp escaped her lips, she could feel her spine running cold at his touch and word. She knows very well what it's all about but then, she can't help but feel turned
