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
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
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 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
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
She has been planning for this moment for the past four months and half now, picking up the white clutch bag, she gently tapped Seb who turn to her with a stern expression morphing into a loving one."I need to use the restroom" she whispered." be quick, we are going to the stage soon" Audrey nodded gently and walked out of the large hall towards the restroom but took a sudden turn and made for the stairs beside the restroom door.She started to run, skipping steps, her heart pounding hard, she pulled out the bobbin pins holding her hair, letting the shinning copper hair out of it restraint, she quickly zipped down the black dinner dress exposing the white and pink short sleeveless jumpsuit she had under, her appearance has completely changed except for her hair colour, a distinct feature she couldn't get rid of.Running down to the ground floor from the fifth floor seems too much but not for Audrey. By time she reached the ground floor, she could already hear the commotion going on a
" In""Out"" ..in.."" Out"" In""..out.."His breathing finally steadied, Ethan slowly breathes out and pried his eyes open to meet the most beautiful pair of light blue orbs staring at him intently, the lashes look so unreal but real at the same time, Little button nose and wet plump lips with the lower one in between two rows of perfect dentals."Beautiful...." Ethan found himself murmuring in daze."Are you okay now?" The ethereal beauty spoke, her voice sounding too young not matching her matured looking body, it was then he realised that the soft warm feeling on his arm were her perky boobs, he quickly moved away, faint blush staining his face ."You are really a weird one, running into the female section and falling into panic attack, who asked you to come here or can't you read?" One wouldn't want to take her serious with such voice and her adorable facial expression."I'm sorry ma, I am actually...." Ethan eyes widened as he heard some sounds, Audrey already mirrored his ex
"This is...." It was then Ethan realised they both didn't know each other names, Audrey took a quick deep to steady her wavering emotions."Audrey... Joe" "Audrey, she helped me hide from the men" Ethan completed his statement with an embarrassed smile."Thank you" Allen bowed stiffly towards her direction."You are welcome" she replied, her mind quickly calculating how she would go with them to be able to meet him."Come on, we would drive you home" Ethan took her hand in his, his heart not wanting to let go, the moment they have spent together glued in his memories, her packets of chocolates they shared in the storage room, her innocent face, behaviour and expression like she couldn't be tainted by the world's cruelty.If only he knew..."You owe me" Audrey spoke up once they got to the red wrangler."Of course, I will definitely pay you back for saving my life""Who's talking about that, I starved all day because of you and you ate my chocolate, you should pay that back and treat
