Fyre tried to endure the mild pains that she's been feeling for a while now, but it was getting serious. Her bones felt soft whenever she woke up, and the painful contracting feeling around her chest area was also getting unbearable.It's been two weeks now and the symptoms are getting severe, she stood up from her sitting position where she had been for about three hours, causing her to sway a bit. Lone Wolves just got a surprise attack that morning and there were few critical casualties, she's been treating them with Jordan. Fyre winced at the sudden pain that shot through her spine, she quickly held the door knob for support, she could feel Jordan's eyes on her every move.Jordan's eyes narrowed as he watch Fyre, his observation for the past four days, the symptoms he noticed on her were familiar, too familiar that he didn't need to confirm his diagnosis, he stood up and walk to the door where she stood, he helps her steady herself as he took a glance at her earlobe, as expecte
Jordan deftly twirls the thin needle in between his fingers, his expression neutral. Fyre bit into the towel between her teeth, the pain was too unbearable but she couldn't make a sound, she wondered what fire had in store for her once she got detoxified.Her forehead was glistening with beads of sweat, she swayed in exhaustion as Jordan took out the last needle from her back, she couldn't hold up anymore and fell back onto the bed. Jordan packed up his tools without another word and left the room.Fyre bit her lower lip hard, even with the dizziness she felt, she was still trying to figure out why Audery was not affected by kissing Jordan. And she could swear that she had never seen any sign of acupuncture on her.How Jordan was going to punish her was another issue that weighed her mind forcing her to stay awake even though she was supposed to be knocked out at the moment. "I will never leave!" she declared finally succumbing to sleep.***"so tell me, everything you told the old ma
Conan Raymond, Jordan's right-hand man until he decided to betray Jordan with Eve William who was Jordan's girlfriend. Raymond puffed out a swirl of smoke and dropped the cigar in the ashtray, Even scrunched up her nose and glared at him."Can you not smoke?" she hissed."Ethan called" He informed starting into space, Even sat up on hearing him." Why?" "Sebastian is going back to X town, it seems the computer doll is really there and she is not running as usual ""Do you think He will try to get her?""As expected of Seb, he is the Marrow anyway""What's our take?" "Our take? We have gotten a new identity, fully sponsored plastic surgery and we can work in any of White Tigers' companies, what more do you want?""I'm still not convinced that Jordan can't find us" Eve shook her head looking around nervously. "And why is Ethan calling you?""He wants Her" "Computer doll?"" yes." "Why do you have to yield to his want? He's just a third-generation spoilt brat" Even rolled her eyes
Jordan took Audrey's pulse as she leaned against him to catch her breath, her mind felt hazy, and this occurs whenever they kissed. Audrey had noticed this reaction the second time they had a make-out session but this moment was intense. "How do you feel?" Jordan asked his hand rubbing her back, obvious of what was going on. "I feel lightheaded" she slurred trying to raise her head but couldn't. "stay still" Jordan held her head to his chest, guilt filling his mind.'I didn't do it right, it seems I need a plan to get back the marrow ' his jaw tightened as he tried to calm himself.If only he was following the right procedures, Audrey would feel the impact of his poison at all, he could only be relieved knowing she can't get poisoned at all but seeing how intoxicated she is now, his poison attack will be soon.He stood up holding her straddled against him and took her to the bedroom when he felt her dozing off, the poison transferred to her is getting detoxified....He gently laid
Old man Lincoln's health was relapsing and the main shareholders of his company were aware, his competitors amongst them thought they could finally take over the company but not with the sudden emergence of his grandson, Ethan. Ethan was ruthless, and his way of handling was a shock to everyone who knew him before he started working in the company, the usually quiet and naive third-generation rich boy was a crouching tiger, catching his prey by surprise. Ethan leaned back into his seat, looking interested as his secretary was seamlessly trying to seduce him."is it Mr Shols or That old bat Nelson?" he finally spoke up."S..sir?""I will sign your resignation letter by eight tomorrow morning " he finalised and stood up and walked out of the office. The only person on his mind was Audrey, his goal!***Jordan woke up with a start, he couldn't lift his limbs. His head felt heavier than ever, his muscles constricted hard, and he gritted his teeth as a wave of heat rushed through his
Joanne Jones and Daniel Roger are here" Seb's P. A informed bowing."Let them in" Seb replied shutting off his desktop, one could see his calculating eyes narrowing as he thought of his next step."Good evening sir "The two people who came in bowed and greeted him, the man had an unnatural handsome look, his hair blonde just like the woman's, but they had nothing else in common. While the man has an unnatural handsome face, the woman has a natural sexy beauty, like a vixen."Dr. Kim is getting perfect in his job" Seb commented after studying their faces."Yes sir" They both wondered why they were there after the same person warned them never to appear in front of him."I have another job for you. Still concerning Jordan Van Arthur " Seb got straight to business."What is the instruction sir" Daniel Roger or Raymond Conan replied immediately, the fear this man sitting across them had put in him was something he didn't think he could overcome, if he would choose between offending him
"This is fvcked up! Ethan wants her and Seb also wants her!" Eve muttered nervously gulping her red wine."what do we do?" she asked Raymond who puffed out smoke before replying. "stick to the earlier plan. But we are getting her for Seb. As for Ethan, I will let Seb know once we hand Her over to him. He will take care of him""Will that be okay? Ethan has changed, he's now as ruthless as his father" "Seb will take care of him. We just have to make it seem like we are working for him for now"***Audrey lay on the bed, her eyes closed, letting Jordan do his thing, they decided to modify her face with the disguise skill that Jordan knows. They will be going back to X town to attend the launching party and also look for the jade flash.Allen sent a message that he could feel the Jade flash, he had installed a hidden bug in the flash after much effort. He received a signal earlier that day that the Jade flash was nearby, so he informed Jordan. Jordan finished whatever he was doing, he
Fyre glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table again, At 11:05 pm, she tossed over restless. She was happy that she will be lying in the same bed with Jordan until two hours ago, she waited patiently once it was 9:00 pm, she took a long refreshing shower and put on a silky revealing nightwear, maybe, just maybe something would happen between them again, she did not care about getting poisoned again.After two hours, she gave up and put out the light, glancing at the door one more time, she laid down and pulled the duvet over herself, feeling lonely.***Audrey could barely stay awake as Jordan touched up her disguise, before joining her in bed."Go... You can't sleep here" she muttered softly, not wanting to give in to sleep but she was aware she couldn't stay awake, the tingling feeling on her shoulder reminded her of the situation they were in." I can. Besides, I feel so energetic that I could watch you sleep all night " Audrey murmured some incoherent words as a sleepover t
Sebastian stared gleefully at his screen, she did it! Just as he expected of her. The manual on how to use the Dragon Marrow was written in old Chinese characters but translating it wouldn't be a problem.And the X-109 Radar blueprint that Jordan had spent ten years creating fell into his hands as a bonus.The problem was getting the Dragon Marrow from the Council. The spy he sent to scout them relayed a message that the leader of the Council was back in post and things were tense during the meeting with his members."The Radar blueprint will solve the Council. Send an invitation to The Northern Sea" Sebastian ordered. He had to act fast. The Northern Sea is a group of elite marine mercenaries, and having a good relationship with them would help him break into the Council.He decided to trade the blueprint with the Northern Sea for their support. "Lone Wolves would be better" His assistant put forth hesitantly. "Jordan is a stubborn one"Sebastian agreed with him, only Jordan had p
Audrey clicked on the keyboard, manoeuvring through firewalls like she was playing a bugged game."Wow, she is so fast"The pimply blonde named Harris exclaimed as he watched Audrey clicking and tapping.The whole team watched on, an hour passed, then two then more but everything proved abortive."It would be a miracle if she unlocked it easily. I have been working on it every day for years now"Matt scoffed.Few nodded but others like Harris who looked up to Audrey waited patiently. The room was getting empty as the impatient ones left the room. Audrey smiled mischievously when she glanced around and realized that she was alone with Malen and Harris." It's past dinner time, we can continue tomorrow " Malen suggested as he glanced at his watch. "You can go without me, I have to crack this or I won't do anything else" Audrey insisted, her eyes glued to the screen as typed another series of codes.Audrey glanced at the clock which indicated it was past midnight "Now, let's see" The sa
Audrey sat by the window as usual looking out to the beautiful meadow, her eyes filled with sadness."I have to gain his trust. How do I do that though?" She bit her lips nervously.It's been three hours since he left, and three hours since she was locked in. Her mind was still racing fast on what to do when she heard the door click open.She didn't turn, rather squeezed out some tears and discreetly rubbed her nose to turn pink giving her a pitiful look."I have to get hold of him somehow," She thought, keeping her head bowed.Sebastian walked into the room, his eyes caught the figure by the window. He had got used to seeing her sit there and gaze out all day but the figure looked so dejected at that moment. Audrey slowly lifted her head, her red-rimmed eyes finding him, she blinked as if trying to hide her tears further tugging Sebastian's conscience. "I was told you didn't touch the dinner. Why?"Audrey's mouth quivered but she said nothing, her eyes glossy with unshed tears."Y
Audrey stared at the black door for some time, the urge to do some coding with the familiar small device in her hands overpowered her.She found the device in her drawer that afternoon and figured out that it was hers. She could use it effortlessly and it did spark some memories. "I guess I was a professional hacker before the accident" She shrugged and held up the device, tapping on the screen expertly.The door clicked open and she stepped in. Three computers were set up in the room, a swirling chair in the middle. The setup ignited flashes of memories of her sitting behind a lighted screen coding like a maniac."This is me!" She squealed, a smile gracing her face.She quickly took a seat and switched on the middle computer, working smoothly. She could access different firewalls with the tap of her fingers against the keyboard. ' The Council' Something popped up, she tapped it and took some minutes to break through the firewall. The load of information downloading gave her a fam
Jordan paces around the study, his head in a mess as he thinks of the worst that could happen at the moment. A clear-headed Fyre sitting on the couch watched him with curious innocent eyes, wondering why he was not calm as usual. “Did I do something wrong?” She asked.“No. Do you feel discomfort anywhere?” He asked in return, his attention back to her.“Except I don't know who I am, “ She assured him.He kept asking her this for the past few days now. When she woke up in a room two months ago, he was the first person she saw, the first face that registered in her empty head.He has been carefully watching her and taking care of her since then, even though he will suddenly disappear for days leaving with his men. Everything around her seemed familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.Watching him use those thin needles deftly was familiar as well, like something she was used to but somehow not remembering anything about it. She did not even know her own name but this man standing in hi
But you said two days!” “My experiment, I mean”“You are making it make sense to me”“I developed a potion that will make one lose his memories for a certain period of time, I need to test it on someone before you can take it”“Is it dangerous?” “That is what I want to make sure of. We will watch this person for a month, trust me I'm more eager to start this plan than you are. But I'm more worried too” Jordan did not hide the worry in his eyes”“It has to be done. I should spend this one month with Alfie” “Mn. We will be leaving soon”***Alfred woke up to see the redhead lying beside him. Audrey and Jordan arrived at Heidong late at night and she insisted on sleeping beside the boy to give him a surprise the next day, ditching the Mafia Master who couldn't stop sulking all night.“Pwetty Ma!” Alfred was excited, he hugged Audrey awake.“I miss you!” “I miss you too” Audrey patted his back, she couldn't decipher why she felt so happy to go back to him. She worries for the day she
Fyre was agitated, she didn't expect that Eve would be taken away from her watch. She had planned to use her to get rid of Audrey but she could only watch the plan go down the drain without even getting started. As soon as she got the chance, she pulled Liam into her room, making sure that no one noticed."Where was she taken to?""The base maybe" Liam replied unsure, he had just got back from the base too and it was not a pleasant experience for the people there. He vowed never to become an enemy of Jordan. "Whatever you are planning, I suggest you stop it, please. Master is not to be toyed with""I know that better than you do" Fyre rolled her eyes, she was frustrated that she couldn't do anything about Audrey and could only watch her live like she had dreamed of, being Jordan's only reason to go out of character. She hates it more whenever they are together with that little boy, she just wants to strangle the two and have Jordan to herself, she has become so obsessed. ***Eve h
"The surgery was perfectly done, the skin on her face is flawless, but it was altered" Fyre read out her report to Jordan, he sat up, he pinched the bridge of his nose, obviously stressed out. They were at the hidden condo where he met Audrey months ago. Eve was in one of the rooms, still knocked out."Other tests?""All positive, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that she is Eve Williams although the card found on her indicates Joanna Jones ""Play along, we have to make it look like she got in successfully to know who is behind her and why she's back""Okay Master""We should go back to the hotel"" With her?""Yes"Jordan was impatient to go back to the hotel condo. It is early in the morning, about 4:45 am, he promised to give Audrey an answer today but he didn't have one yet. He just couldn't let her into a risky situation without enough preparation. But from the look of things, they needed to act fast.***Audrey had her breakfast behind the screen of the latest version of
The launching had just started when Audrey began to feel uncomfortable, her undies felt damp. She checked her phone, the date indicated that it was her time of the month, her eyes widened and she stood up abruptly, knocking over the glasses of wine on the table."M... J..Joel, what's wrong?" Phillip also got up, his shirt stained with the spilt wine, eyes were on them for some seconds before everyone's focus returned to the stage where Sebastian Cornell was about to mount with his PA." I'm sorry. I have to leave" Audrey replies looking around nervously hoping she is not smeared on her clothes or the chair."The event just began, can we wait a little? " Audrey shook her head, she glanced around and noticed that most people had their attention on the stage, she pulled Philip closer and whispered to him."I... I got my period" She blushed hard as soon as she said it."Oh. We should leave through the restroom area then, that will be less suspicious " replied leading him towards the rest
