"Natalie, Natalie!" Alexander Kova called out, standing outside his daughter's room. He sighed, growing impatient. "Natalie, open up or I'm gonna break it down," he snapped.

"What?" Natalie pushed the door open, annoyance evident in her voice.

"Did you not hear me the first time?" he asked.

"Well, I'm not talking to you," Nat replied.

Sighing, Kova pleaded, "Let me come in."

"Sorry, papa. If there's something you want, just say it from there," she replied, sounding jaded.

He sighed again, struggling to hold himself back. "Okay, I'm sorry. I know I was a bit rude to your friend," he said, offering an apology.

Natalie turned to her father, trying to process what she had just heard.

Did her father just apologize, or was she hearing things? She pretended to understand, "Well, you did more than a bit, Dad. Sophie is unique in a good way. She's always hyper and never gets angry. But after what you pulled, I was surprised to see her mad expression, and it wasn't pleasant," she told him,

    Despite my parents wanting to stay home to monitor my movements, they had to leave due to an emergency at work. Unaware of this fact, I was contemplating whether or not to go out. Just as I was pondering, my phone rang. I picked it up and said, "Hello?""Sophie, it's mom," the firm voice said."Oh, hey, mom. Why are you calling me on the phone? Aren't you downstairs?" I asked, confused."No, dear. We received an emergency call from the office, so we're on our way there. I don't know when we'll return," she explained. "Just in case we can't make it back today, there is enough food in the freezer to last you, okay?""Okay, mother. But you don't have to worry. I'm not a child, you know," I reassured her."To us, you are. Just be careful and don't go out at night, okay?""Alright, I love you.""I love you too, pumpkin." She hung up the phone."Great, another night alone," I murmured to myself. Just then, I received a message from Nat, telling me to start coming. I replied with an 'Okay.'

    *****Despite his disbelief, it was crucial for me to ensure Nat's innocence in this matter. "Nat never mentioned you or her family," I lied. "If she did, she made sure I remained unaware.""How did you find out then?" he inquired, referring to my parents."My parents are equally clueless," I fibbed. "Actually, it was quite obvious," I asserted. "Your manner of speech, the plenty guards, and my love for gangster movies made it easy to figure out." I took a sip from the beverage and sighed. "Seriously, is this just juice?" I questioned."What's your point?" he asked, ignoring my question, his gaze cold."I'm Nineteen," I lied."You mean eighteen. You're still a child to me," he stated without even looking at me.Frowning, I turned to Nat, who suddenly sighed, "Don't give me that look; I never said anything to him," She accused."I never claimed you did," I assured her. But how did he know my actual age? I thought to myself. "Yeah, right!" she retorted, digging into her food.Alexander

    ******Feeling a sense of unease as the abundance of food sat untouched on the table, I glanced around the room. Mr. Kova was nowhere to be seen, and Nat had disappeared upstairs. As a guest, I couldn't find comfort in this situation, so I made the decision to stand up and head towards the door.As I got closer, I caught sight of Mr. Kova sitting on a stool near his mini bar, engaged in a phone conversation. I momentarily froze and just gazed at him lustfully. Natalie seemed to think I had a crush on her father. "Do I have a crush on him?" I whispered, and she did mention something like, ‘the others, does that mean other have also lusted after him?But I have got to admit, when I first saw him at school, something stirred within me. He possessed a captivating beauty and charm that could draw anyone in, An Eighteen years old has a crush on---- no, I shook my head, "No, it's not just a crush but something more," I whispered to myself, dismissing the notion of it being a mere crush.Almo

    I woke up the next day feeling sick to the stomach; my head felt like it was going to explode.As I got out of bed and made my way downstairs, I noticed the sun shining brightly, despite my terrible state. To my surprise, my parents had already returned from their trip."Wow, look who decided to join us," my mom remarked. "I thought you were going to sleep forever," she added.Sighing, I asked, "What are you talking about?" I hurried past her into the kitchen, replying after taking a sip of cold water, "I didn't know you guys were back.""Well, with the way you were sleeping, it would be difficult to know even if someone kidnapped you in your sleep," my father commented from the sofa."Oh, come on, dad. That will never happen," I replied dismissively.He responded with a noncommittal, "Hmmm."I turned to my mother, who gave me a strange look. "Seriously," I began."Do you know what time it is?" she asked after a pause.Snorting, I replied, "Of course, the sun is still shining in the s

    **** Startled by the sudden sound of his daughter's voice, Alex quickly pulled away from Sophie, looking down at her tear-filled eyes, 'What did I just do? He questioned himself, feeling uncertain about his actions. Despite the uncertain feeling, he wanted to kiss her again. Of all the lips he had tasted, hers were the softest and the sweetest. ‘Dammit,’ he cursed under his breath as he realized Nat's voice was growing closer. He then stepped away from her. He still couldn’t believe... He just kissed a brat. Among all the friends Natalie had brought home, Sophie Rust was the first one who caught his interest. There was something uniquely captivating about her—her blue eyes, plump lips, and astonishingly attractive figure. It was hard to believe she was only eighteen. What attracted him most was her boldness. The way she looked him in the eye and spoke her mind made him desire to do things he had never imagined doing to her. He recognized the way she gazed at him, unlike the dis

I exclaimed in shock, my heart racing as I desperately hoped my parents weren't home. Gasping for breath, I entered the house.However, as I stepped inside, a knot of unease tightened in my stomach. The air seemed heavier, and the atmosphere was charged with an inexplicable tension. I hesitated for a moment, my senses on high alert. "What the hell…" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart.

I asked, utterly bewildered, my voice trembling with fear.How did they even get the gun? I pondered inwardly, my mind racing to make sense of the terrifying scene before me."Show me your hands!"

    Alex Kova was in disbelief as he witnessed the entire estate of the High Officials engulfed in flames. Several months ago, he received disturbing news from the worldwide Mafia organization (WMO) about their plans to attack the military base and the cop's estate. Since the authorities refused to leave them alone, the WMO, decided to escalate the conflict by targeting the top military agents. Initially, Alex didn't take the threat seriously, considering his influential position within the organization. He believed they wouldn't dare take action against his community. However, he had forgotten that this community was not truly HIS own; it was borrowed. The next morning, he received a text message from the organization itself, boldly stating, "It's COMING." For the first time in his years as a high-ranking Mafia boss, Alex felt genuine fear, not for himself, but for his children. He couldn't bear the thought of subjecting them to this violence again. It would be death for them. Withou

    *** As fear gripped me, I remained hidden under the bed, anxiously waiting for my parents to return. Sighing, “Just how long have I been here?” I questioned myself, “The gunshot seemed to have died down; does that mean the fight is over?” These thoughts swirled in my mind, but I couldn't muster the courage to venture out. Who would have imagined that the world I once admired for its actions could be so dangerous? Despite parts of the house being destroyed, it is currently in lockdown. So if anyone were to step in, I would hear it. Ah!, a realization struck me—wait! When I went downstairs earlier, did I look at the front doors? Shit…. The sitting-room door is still open, “I have to go lock it,” dammit. “Sophie, how can you make such a mistake?” I cursed at myself. Standing up, I ran downstairs. Blinded by my urgency to reach the front door, I failed to notice the commotion emanating from downstairs until I reached the middle of the staircase. Blue eyes stared down at me, leaving

Sophie?” Alex’s voice was frantic as Daniel laid her trembling body on the table.He turned to Drew, his tone urgent. “We need to operate now.”Drew didn’t hesitate, quickly setting out the operating tools. “Yes, right away.”“Operate on her? What are you talking about?” Alex suddenly demanded, confusion and anger rising in his voice, but no one answered him.Emily, who had already pieced together what was happening with her daughter, spoke up, her voice shaky. “We can’t do this here. We should wait until we land first.”“And risk losing the only chance to save her?” Drew shot back, his tone sharp.Still confused and growing more frustrated, Alex demanded, “Why does she need an operation to be saved?” His eyes darted from Avanska to Rick, then locked onto Drew. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”Avanska turned to Rick, whose nervous eyes were scanning the room as if searching for answers that weren’t there.“Answer me!” Alex’s voice thund

    **Continuation**Meanwhile, on the far edge of the field.I gasped as blood dripped from my mouth. Killing this general was taking longer than I’d anticipated, and the first time bomb I’d planted when leaving the underground facility had already started going off.“We need to end this now,” I muttered, just as another bomb exploded in the distance.It felt like the universe was finally throwing me a bone—the general stumbled, losing his balance. I seized the moment, driving my dagger into his lower abdomen, pushing it deeper with all my strength.He groaned in agony and flung me off, but Alex and my mother were already on him, launching another attack from behind.I stood still for a moment, knowing if I waited for him to go down before making my next move, it would be too late.I scanned the area for someone reliable, but everyone was engaged in the battle—except for… Drew and my father.

Daniel requested, with his eyes throwing a dagger at him.Drew’s face drained of color, his eyes widening with sudden fear as he realized he’d just betrayed himself.He stiffened, turning his head away, and cleared his throat awkwardly. “I’m afraid I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he stammered, attempting to mask his panic.“Isn’t it a bit late for that?” Daniel pressed, his voice cold and unwavering. “The look on your face tells me you know more than you’re letting on. I just watched my daughter writhing in pain, clutching her head. So if you say—”“Wait!” Drew interrupted, his voice rising in alarm. “You found her already?”Daniel’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer, his anger palpable. “Yes, to be precise, she found us. Now, tell me what’s going on before it’s too late.”Drew swallowed hard, his composure crumbling under the weight of Daniel’s intense gaze. “I… I don’t think you’re ready for the truth,” he said, his voice trembling.Daniel’s gaze

    ~~~~For my plan to succeed, he needed to lower his guard, even a little. My eyes locked onto the grenade launcher in his hands. Damn...Dert… He was the last of the three generals. I didn't know the full extent of his power, but I knew killing him wouldn’t be easy. Still, it was better to face him in combat than to let him toy with my family's lives.I’d rather gamble with my life, I thought, a devilish grin spreading across my face as he loaded his grenade launcher.“Seriously, is that the best you can do?” I questioned him, marching forward, trying to make him lose his guard. Another grenade flew past my shoulder, leaving burns. I groaned in pain. “This’s hardly a fair fight,” I yelled. “Even when I killed the other generals, it was a fair fight.”He ignored me and continued firing. I didn’t give up, continuing to taunt him. “And you call yourself a man—a general at that.” I halted. “What a waste of a title,” I spat out.At my last comment, he suddenly paused and gently pulled back

    ~~~"This isn't happening," I murmured faintly.The grenade was almost upon my mother, and time seemed to slow. I reached out, heart pounding, cold dread filling me as I realized I might not make it in time.“No…” I found myself screaming, despite the deadly headache and the sharp pains ringing inside my skull. Just then, the cause of my current situation decided to do me a favor—MANA.It was as if I was suddenly filled with a kind of supernatural strength unlike anything before. Instead of running, I saw myself flying. In that instant, I threw myself on her, and she fell to the ground with a loud gasp.The grenade barely missed her as it flew past us, leaving a small cut on my shoulder, while pushing me off my mother and landing on some military men, blowing them to pieces.The chaos around me blurred into a grim symphony of screams and explosions, but all I could focus on was the faint rise and fall of my mother’s breath beneath me.
