The atmosphere was quiet and smooth with Audrey seated silently eating her food while smiling meekly to herself.He steak glances continuously at the man before him who seems to be enjoying his red drink as he lay back in his seat with satisfaction."What?" Cannon asked, he noticed her gaze on him. Not like he cared even but to think she forgets to eat just watching him was silly.Audrey nods and lowers her head, cheeks red in embarrassment. She just doesn't know why she can't stop admiring him and it feels so good."Want some?" He asked.Audrey's head snap up, the look on her face was enough to show how stunned she was. Is he offering me a drink? She thought silently to her."If it pleases My Lord" her tone was soft and submissive. She looks so shy and cute."Come forward" Cannon commands, lips slightly pulls upward in a smile.Audrey didn't waste any more time as she pushes herself off the seat and walks to him.He grabs her waist and pulls her to him, he wasn't rough and neither wa
They arrived back at the mansion at a speed of light, Audrey was still lost trying to understand what was going on when she was thrown into someone's arms.“Take her inside!” Cannon's orders and leave directly.“What's going on?” Audrey asked, her heart was pounding in fright.“Just come with me, my lady," the man said and urged her to move along.“Is everything ok?” She couldn't help but press on, everything was too much for her to understand.“I promise to tell you everything when I get you to safety, just lie low for now.” He assured.Only then could she calm down and follow him.The walked into a room, it was slightly dark inside and everywhere was paint with a deep blue paint on the wall.It is her first time going into this room, in fact, she didn't know such a room existed until now.“What's going on?” She asked, staring at the man leaning against the wall by the side.“We are under attack” he spoke out, his tone was casual and less stressful, but Audrey couldn't stop herself f
“We've been attacked, Don,” A man said as soon as he saw Cannon approaching.Cannon didn't look at him as he walks forward, “indeed, you are as dumb as I imagined” a smile formed on his lips as he walks out of the building.Wendigo was standing outside alongside the Black gun, hands crossed over his chest.He smirks as he watches Cannon's approaching figure, deep down, he was happy.“You think you can defeat me? Dumbass” Cannon snorts, hands buried inside his coat.“I hope so,” Wendigo gave a half-shrug, "maybe alone, I can't, but together, I'm very sure I can,” he glances at the Black gun by his side.“Useless mortals” The smirk on Cannon's face was so chilly, it was as though he was mocking the stupid guys who thought they could defeat him.“Not all mortals are as useless as you think,” Wendigo brags, he just doesn't understand who Cannon is and what he is capable of cause if he did, he won't have been blabbing nonsense.Cannon's eyes dim red, and he was starting to enjoy the so–cal
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
