Chapter 2

"Finally home!" Drake said once we got inside our house. I rolled my eyes at his childishness. Austin turned his head and looked at us while sitting on the couch. "Hey guys, how’s the mission?"

Drake walked to the couch and plopped himself on it. "Easy as usual." I scoffed and went to the kitchen to make some drinks. Taking out a can of soda, I walked back to the living room and settled myself on the couch.

"Where’s Matthew?" I asked. Austin raised his brows at me. "Why?"

"I need to have a word with him." Austin leans forward, resting his elbow at his knees while narrowing his eyes at me. "You were going to admit your feeling to him?" I threw the pillow that is next to me and aim it at his face.

Austin and drake only laughed seeing my reaction. "You guys are such an asshole." I got up and decided to head to my room to take a nice warm shower. "Hey, where are you going?"

"To infinity and beyond," I said to Austin. He chuckled hearing my answer. I walked up the stairs while sipping my soda. Once I got to my room, I put the soda on the table and head to the bathroom.

Stripping myself as I jumped into the spray of the shower, my tense muscles instantly feel relaxed. A lot had happened within those 7 years. I sighed as my mind wander around at the past. 7 years ago, I never thought I will be doing stuff like this. 7 years ago, I was a happy and bubbly girl that lit up everyplace I go. That always makes people laugh and feel comfortable with me.

I closed my eyes, replaying the incident that happened that night. That makes me involved in this world.

*flashback*

The chilly night air hit my skin. I hugged myself hoping to keep myself warm. Tonight, I decided to go to the club getting myself drunk, even though I’m still 18. I’m thankful for my friend who made me a fake ID is useful at some point. But walking around half-drunk in the middle of the night wearing almost nothing is completely stupid. The tears in my eyes kept streaming down, it has been like that since he tore my heart... I was walking barefoot on my way back to my dorm with the heels hanging on my hands. I thought he changed, I thought he changed since the day he met me but I was wrong he never changed. He just likes every other guy.

The more I think about it, the more my heart crunch. I broke down on the pavements crying my heart out. I know is a stupid thing to do, wasting your tears for someone who doesn’t give a fuck about you. But what can I say, I love him. 

I don't know how long I sit there crying but as I stood up someone picked me by the waist harshly dragging me to a black car from what I see. I try to scream but a hand clasps over my mouth, muffling my scream. I think fast and bit his palms. He let me go immediately while cursing aloud. I took that chance to run away, I pray to god, hoping there will be someone who passed by. I haven't even got that far till he grabs my arm harshly and drags me to that car.

Before I even got the chance to screamed, someone injected me into my neck. I don’t even know what that thing is. But slowly, I lose consciousness and darkness envelops me.

The next thing I know, I woke up in what look like a prison cell that is so small and can only fit one bed. I try to recall everything that happens, why am I here. I closed my eyes and rack my brain, my eyes shot up once I remember the incident that had occurred.

I got abducted.

My eyes starting to tear up, it was my entire fault. If I didn’t go to that bar, I wouldn’t be in this prisoner cell. It was all because of him, I hate him so much. I looked around trying to find a window or something to run out but I found none. This place is so secure. The sound of a door unlocking breaks me from my thoughts. The door opens revealing a tall bulky man in a suit. His face remains emotionless, cold. I looked away feeling uncomfortable with his presence. He ushered me out. As we go out, a plan formed in my head. I elbowed him hard, the grip in my arm loosen. I took that chance to run away.

But as always, I got caught. Two guards escorted me while holding my arms. I curse under my breath for being bad at physics. After 6-7 minutes walked, we arrived in front of two big brown doors. Before the guards have the chance to knock on the doors, someone inside the room muttered a ‘come in’. It’s like he has been waiting for our arrival. The door opens revealing an old fat-looking man in a suit. Seeing the man makes my stomach churn in a bad way. My guts telling me that he’s a dangerous man. A man you do not want to mess up with.

Slowly, a sinister grin makes its way to his face that makes your skin crawl. He gestured to the guards to bring me in and that’s where my life will change forever.

*flashback ends*

A knocking on the door interrupts me from my thoughts. Turning off the shower, I wrap my body with a towel. Opening the door, I've been greeted with a smirking Blake. I rolled my eyes then head to my closet.

"No hi?" I turned around and face him. "No." He chuckles.

Taking out my undergarments, I wear my panties in front of him still having the towel wrapped around my body. I turned around then dropped my towel to wear my bra. As I was clasping my bra, a hand helps me to clasp it. He kissed my bare shoulder. I let out a sigh. "How's the mission?"

"Easy as usual," I said as I closed my eyes. He starting to trail kisses to my neck. Turning me around and slammed his lips to mine. I kissed him back immediately. His hands are on my waist pulling me closer.

"Are you guys done fucking each other?" We broke the kiss as Austin yelled from outside. We both chuckled as he rested his forehead on mine.

"I think we should go out or they will think we go for a second round." I slapped his chest and he laughed. "Go and get dress." Living a kiss on my forehead he then walked out of my room. I got dress quickly in my shorts and tank top. Heading downstairs, I spotted all my partners are there.

I rolled my eyes once I saw Austin and drake are fighting to get the remote. "Why the hell did Moretti pick you two?" I said as I descend the stairs. All eyes snapped in my direction.

"Because I'm fabulous unlike him," Austin said then shoved drake while getting the remote out from his hand.

I swear these two can’t ever stop.

We have been living together for 5 years but sometimes I still can’t get used to seeing these two fightings over a remote. I mean they are a freaking assassin! Geez.

I looked around and my gaze landed on Matthew. I pointed my finger at him. His eyes widen and gulped nervously. "Hey, ruby." I walked to him and glared at him. "Why the hell can't open the metal door?!"

"What's wrong?" Blake said.

"He almost got me fucking killed!"

"He always likes that. 6 days ago, I almost got killed because he gave me the wrong direction." Emily said. Yes, there's another girl beside me which I'm grateful for. I'll be going insane if I'm the only girl here living with these 4 boys.

"I-I got distracted." I crossed my arms giving him a flat look. "Really?" he sighs "Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t see that coming." I narrow my eyes at him and he looked away. "I’ll find out what’re you hiding." I sat next to Blake and took the pizza. Before I got a chance to take a bite, Matthew's phone rings. We all stop and looked at him curiously.

"Hello, sir."

"Yes, okay. I’ll them. Thank you, sir, have a good night."

"Let me guess, Mr. Moretti? " Emily said while drinking her beer. Matt nods "He said, he wants to see drake and ruby at his office tomorrow." I took a bite of my pizza then swallow. "Okay." I simply said. We get back to what we’re doing. Austin and Drake fighting over a remote control, Emily looked at them amuse, Matthew smiling while playing his phone and me? I can’t help but wonder, what will he talked about because every time we are done with our mission he never wants us to see him only a phone call. But suddenly, he wants us to meet him unless...

There’s a new mission.

I sighed then drink my beer. Blake touch my shoulder. "You’re okay?" I turned to him and nodded my head. "Come here." I put my drink on the table and lean my head on his chest. He pulled me closer, caressing my hair.

"Aw... What a cute view." Austin says. "You guys should get ma-" before he got the chance to finish his sentences, I threw the pillow to his face again.

"Shut up if you don’t I’ll kill you." He shuts his mouth instantly and gets back watching. I smirked looking at him. "You look hot when you’re mad," Blake whispers to my ear. I could feel my cheeks getting warm. I slapped his chest lightly.

"Shut up or I changed my mind to kill you instead." Blake chuckles.
