Sky

Kayla's voice rang out behind me, loud as she counted. “Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine…”

I sprinted toward the house, my heart pounding with excitement. The sun was beginning to dip behind the trees, casting long shadows over Mrs. Klaus garden. I pushed the door open quietly, careful not to let it slam and give away my position.

Inside, the smell of roasted chicken and freshly baked bread filled the air. Mrs. Klaus was in the dining room, carefully laying out plates and silverware. She looked up as I darted past, her expression half-amused and half-stern.

“No running in the house, Sky,” she warned.

“I’m playing hide-and-seek with Kayla!” I whispered back, my tone conspiratorial, as though it excused everything.

Mrs. Klaus rolled her eyes but waved me off. “Just don’t break anything.”

I nodded and moved quickly through the living room, scanning for the perfect hiding spot. The cabinet by the bookshelf caught my eye. It was just big enough for me to squeeze into if I

    Dare Everything was out of place, things were turning out more differently that I expected it to, From the minute I met Sky into my life and the visit from Mark, it was all a disaster. The sound of the door bell catches my attention and I make my way to the door. An unexpected guess stands there with a smile on his face. “Dare, it’s been a while” Mark says. He is wearing a blue Jean on a black leather jacket clad with his combat boot. I spot the BMW right behind him and he turns his eyes to it. “Sweet ride don’t you think” he asks and I give him a slight nod. Mark and I have been buddies, we work for the same organization until I left and decided to start afresh. When he first joined us, he was a naive little boy who needed a family, I thought him everything he knew, made sure he could stay on his back on his own. He was my right hand man, I’m certain that when I left he took over my position. “Why are you here?” I ask leaning on the door, the urge to let him in was the las

    Dare I sit on the edge of the couch, phone in hand, watching her sleep. She’s peaceful, unaware of everything happening around her. My obsession with her has grown so deep I can’t bring myself to leave the room. "Mark has gone Rogue searching for you, he raided the house yesterday with his men” Theo informs me over the line. Going Rogue is something I have done several times, especially when my target proves to be impossible. I would take a break from the pact and venture on my own. Right now, Mark has decided to make me his personal vendetta and this will only end until one of us dies. Good to see that he is putting everything that I taught him to use. “He still suspect you in the killing of Mr G” A suspicion will remain a suspicion until there is evidence proven. I had made sure that there was no loose end when I kill Mr Klaus and his family. My men are trustworthy and wouldn’t say a word and the only witness to the crime is right here with me. And I haven’t given her the privi

    SkyI went up to my room, dropped the dress on the bed, and stepped into the shower. The water was cold against my skin, clearing my thoughts. When I stepped out, I tried on the dress. It fit perfectly, almost like it had been tailored just for me.I stared at myself in the mirror, running my hands down the fabric. Something about it felt familiar, tugging at a distant memory. Then it hit me. This was the dress. The one I begged my father for last winter. Limited edition, only available for pre-order months in advance. He’d promised to order it for my birthday.“No way,” I muttered, shaking my head.It couldn’t be real. It had to be a knockoff. Dare wasn’t rich enough to get his hands on something like this. Even if he was, there was no way he was wealthier than my father—the mayor of the country.I inspected the dress closer. Every detail was perfect. The black lace along the bodice, the pearls delicately adorning the edges, the cinched waist accentuating my curves. My breath hitched

    DareThe room reeked of whiskey and smoke, the kind of atmosphere that suffocated but promised danger. I didn’t bother knocking as I pushed the door open, guiding Sky by the wrist like a lamb to slaughter. Her steps faltered, but I didn’t slow down. The first room on the left—it’s where they always were.Inside, the air felt heavier, laced with tension and secrets no one dared to write down. Five men sat scattered around, the predators in their lair. Three were alone, their eyes predatory even without focus. One man leaned back in his chair, a woman perched on his thigh like an accessory. Another sat beside him, delicate fingers wrapped around the stem of a wine glass. He plucked it from her hand, barely sparing her a glance as he set it on the table, an afterthought.I didn’t stop until I reached the couch pressed against the far wall, the center of their attention. I sank into it, pulling Sky down beside me. Just I sat down with Sky by my side, the discussion continued.“Have you h

    Dare“Dare, my man,” a voice called from behind me. I kept walking, pretending not to hear. Turning around would confirm it—would tell him it was me. And that was the last thing I wanted.“I know you can hear me, Dare. Stop pretending. I know your figure like the back of my hand,” he pressed, his voice closing the distance between us.I picked up my pace, my focus narrowing to Sky. I needed to get to her and get out before this turned into something messier than it already was.But three men stepped out of the corridor on the right, blocking my path—and hers. Two of them grabbed her arms. She screamed, struggling against their grip.“Get your hands off her,” I growled, my voice low and lethal.The man on the right didn’t even have time to flinch before my fist slammed into his jaw. He staggered back, but before I could move, something sharp and unforgiving cracked against the top of my head. Pain exploded, white-hot and blinding.A sharp, screeching sound filled my ears as I turned, m

    SkyMen. Men. Men. Just the thought of them turns my stomach, makes my skin crawl. The things they do, the way they talk, as if the world is theirs for the taking.I used to think life was a fairy tale—school, parties, love. But this world? It’s a rotting pit, and once you’re in, there’s no crawling out.My mess? It’s Dare.For a moment, I thought those men might save me from him. Maybe there was hope. Maybe someone would care. But no. They’re all the same. Cowards, spineless cowards, who see women as nothing more than pawns in their twisted game of control.I sat there, listening to them brag about their power, their influence, their egos spilling out like poison. And Dare? He basked in it. Not a single man in that room dared to challenge him.I sit now, trapped in his car, wishing I’d let that short man—Christoph—take me instead. At least he looked like he had something to prove. But when I remember how he stared at me with lust in his eyes, I knew I was better off with Dare than hi

    SkyI replayed Dare’s words in my mind, over and over. And as much as I hated admitting it, he was right. Despite being his prisoner, I’d never been harmed—not physically, at least. That alone was a strange comfort, considering the bounty on my head. The thought that some of these men might just want to use me to extort my father chilled me. Maybe, just maybe, Dare deserved some credit for keeping me alive.I shut the door behind me and found him on the couch. The first aid kit was open on the table, his shirt tossed carelessly to the floor. He rummaged through the kit with a focus that only made me realize just how injured he was.“You really should go to the hospital for that,” I told him, my voice softer now.“No need,” he muttered, glancing briefly at me. “I blocked the knife with my hand.”Only then did I notice the gash running across his left palm, dried blood caked around the wound. The antiseptic bottle in his hand hovered over the stab wound on his abdomen, and without flinc

    Dare“Hello,” I answered, my tone sharp and short. Pissed didn’t even begin to cover it, but Theo wouldn’t call twice unless it was something critical.I heard the door slam shut and turned my head, realizing she wasn’t by my side anymore.“I’m sorry, boss,” Theo’s voice wavered, a hint of fear slipping through.“What’s going on?” I demanded, leaning back into the couch.“I got information—Mark’s found some clues,” he said quickly.My eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”Theo hesitated, then delivered the blow. “He found Sky’s DNA. A hair strand at the scene.”My hand tightened into a fist. “Damn it.”“I’m sorry, boss. We didn’t do a good enough job,” he stammered, guilt dripping from his words.“This isn’t on you,” I said coldly. “She practically grew up with the girl. Her DNA being there was inevitable.” The blame rested squarely on my shoulders. I should’ve burned the place to ash when I had the chance.“And the Pact?” I asked, voice low. “What are they saying about this?”“Everythin

    Dare The moment I burst through the front door, my voice echoed through the house. “Sky!” I yelled, my heart pounding as I scanned the empty living room. Panic clawed at my chest. No response. I darted into the kitchen, then the hallway, calling her name louder this time. “Sky!” Finally, I heard the soft sound of a door creaking open upstairs. I froze, my breath caught in my throat as her voice reached me. “Dare?” She stepped into view at the top of the staircase, her face filled with confusion and concern. Relief crashed over me, so strong it nearly brought me to my knees. “Sky,” I said, exhaling sharply. I rushed up the stairs, taking them two at a time, and pulled her into my arms the moment I reached her. She let out a surprised sound as I held her tightly, like I might lose her if I let go. “You’re okay,” I whispered, more to myself than her. “Of course I am,” she said softly, pulling back slightly to look at me. “What’s going on, Dare? What happened?” I stared at her.

    DareBright orange and red licked the night sky, the acrid stench of smoke filling the air. The sound of the ambulance was far behind, might take them a couple of minutes before they get here.I parked my car a safe distance away and surveyed the scene. The front was an inferno, so I circled to the back, where the flames were weaker. The heat still radiated fiercely, but I had no intention of turning back. Kicking down the back door, I stepped inside, coughing as smoke filled my lungs.I covered my mouty with a wet handkerchief.The warehouse was barely recognizable. Shelves were crumbling, goods reduced to ashes, and the crackling of the fire echoed in the space. Wonderimg how the fire had begun in the first place.There was no sign of Theo anywhere not even his car was parked outside.Then I saw him. At first, I thought it was debris, a pile of burned material caught in the fire. But as I moved closer, my stomach sank. A man was tied to a metal pole, his body charred beyond recogni

    SkyI woke up early, feeling a rare burst of energy. I stretched, letting out a small yawn, and decided today was the perfect day to do something nice for Dare.He had been taking care of me in so many ways—protecting me, making me feel safe. I wanted to give back in the simplest way I could. Breakfast.The kitchen had been stocked the night before, so I had everything I needed. Padding down the stairs, I tied my hair back and rolled up the sleeves of Dare’s oversized hoodie I had stolen to wear. It smelled like him—clean and comforting.As I entered the kitchen, I scanned the counters and began gathering the ingredients for Eggs Benedict, fluffy pancakes, and crispy bacon. I even grabbed a bottle of grape wine for something a little fancy.First, I started with the hollandaise sauce. I melted butter over low heat, whisking it gently until it became golden and smooth. Then, in a small bowl, I whisked together egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Slowly, I added the m

    DareMark’s silence had been gnawing at me for days. He wasn’t one to go this long without stirring up trouble or barking orders. When he went quiet, it usually meant something worse—planning, scheming. The kind of silence that wasn’t peaceful but full of malice. It bugged me, but I kept my cool. If he was waiting for the right moment to strike, I’d make sure I was ready first.I pulled out an old burner phone from my desk drawer, the one I’d used for years to communicate. The phone was practically a relic, but it still worked. When I powered it on, it buzzed almost immediately. A call came through from a restricted number as if it had been waiting for me.I picked up and waited, listening to the silence on the other end. Ten seconds passed, and I was about to hang up when I spoke his name.“Mark.”His voice came through. “Hello, Dare. Quite a game of hide and seek you’ve been playing. Did you miss me?”I leaned back against the wall, keeping my voice steady. “Things have been peacefu

    DareFour days had passed, and everything had been going so smoothly that it felt almost unnatural. These days with Sky had been some of the happiest of my life. We hadn’t yet put our feelings into words, but it was clear there was something between us. I could see it in her eyes, feel it in the way she lingered near me.But for now, work was calling.I sat at my desk, the brown surface spotless except for my laptop. On the screen were six faces, my board of directors, each one waiting for my input. The conversation was already in progress.“Our next issue is the drop in sales for the M61 pocket camera,” Sylvia said, her voice sharp. She was a no-nonsense woman with neatly styled blonde hair. “A bad review went viral, claiming it’s trash. Since then, sales have plummeted.”“What review are you talking about?” I asked, leaning back in my chair, fingers steepled as I listened.“One of our influencers,” Alphonse chimed in, his tone laced with irritation. “She has over 22 million follower

    DareSky looked at me, her gaze flickering with hesitation, then back down at her plate. I could tell she was building up the courage to ask something, the way her fingers played nervously with the edge of her napkin, her fork tapping softly against her plate.She finally spoke, her voice softer than usual. “How about your parents?”The question lingered in the air, her fork tapping three times before she added quickly, “You don’t have to answer that. I’m sorry for asking.” She dropped her gaze back to her food, a faint flush coloring her cheeks.For a moment, I stayed quiet, watching her fidget with her food, waiting for her to look up at me again. Most people knew better than to ask me personal questions, and even fewer dared to dig into my past. But with Sky, it didn’t feel invasive. It felt… different.I leaned back slightly, resting my elbow on the table, and decided to give her something I rarely shared—pieces of my truth. “My mom died when I was young,” I said, my tone steady b

    SkyI gasped as we stepped inside the Hotel. The grandeur of the interior was overwhelming—the glittering chandeliers, the soft, warm glow of the lights, the perfectly set tables, and the slow, elegant music playing in the background. Even the paintings on the walls felt alive, telling stories I couldn’t quite grasp but couldn’t look away from.“Did you book the whole place?” I asked him, my voice hushed, still trying to take everything in. The hotel was empty except for a few staff members moving discreetly in the background.He nodded, a deep smile on his lips.I followed as he led me to a beautifully set table in the center of the room. He pulled out a chair for me, and I sat down, watching as he took the seat across from me. My fingers brushed against the smooth tablecloth, and I couldn’t help but admire how perfect everything was.A waiter approached with a tray. He placed two delicate wine glasses on the table, then poured red wine into them. With a slight bow, he retreated, lea

    SkyThe sound of the doorbell echoed through the house, and my heart leapt with excitement. Without thinking, I rushed down the stairs, barely slowing as I reached the door. Dare stood there, holding two elegant boxes in his hands. I could already tell what they were—my dress and shoes.Before he could say a word, I darted forward, grabbed the boxes, and sped back up the stairs to my room.Placing the boxes on my bed, I opened the first one, revealing the most stunning dress I’d ever seen. It was a deep blue dress, adorned with delicate feathers at the hem that gave it a unique, whimsical elegance. A soft fur shawl rested beneath the dress, adding an extra touch of sophistication. My fingers grazed the material—it felt luxurious, smooth, and impossibly soft.The second box contained a pair of sleek black heels with striking red soles. They were the kind of shoes that made a statement without even trying. Everything about the outfit screamed elegance and perfection.Dare really had imp

    SkyI stood frozen, staring at him as he stood in the doorway, holding a bouquet of flowers and a box in his hands. I felt more confused than ever because it was not a look I have seen on him before. Just then I thought maybe he hasn’t left me but how long will it take until he decides that I was no longer useful. The thought alone haunted me.“I thought you left me,” I said, my voice trembling as I held the table for strength after breaking down into a sobbing mess.“Where would I go?” Dare replied, his tone soft yet steady. “This is my home.”He stepped closer, reading my face with his eyes, and gently wiped the tears that had been streaming down my face. The warmth of his touch only made my chest ache more.“Did you really think I’d leave you like that?” he asked, his gaze locking onto mine.“Yes,” I admitted with a slight nod, my voice barely above a whisper. “I thought you didn’t care… that what happened yesterday meant nothing to you.”To my surprise, he laughed—a sound I’d nev
