Eltan Storm
"A trip to New York?" Faith looked at me in utter surprise in the midst of making my drink at the bar.
"Yes."
"Why all of a sudden?"
"I was told that there's a perfect location to open the second branch of Berserkers. I want to check it out, but I also don't want to go alone without you, so what do you think? Wanna come?" I lied straight through my teeth.
Since I was being forced to bring along Mutiny to New York, I had to give a viable reason to Faith. I couldn't just tell her that we were going to massacre an organization. She would faint in a heartbeat.
"You will be on paid leave as i

But they were known as bad people. Even the people who murdered my parents belonged to the mafia. But... Eltan couldn't be bad, right?He was always so nice to me. He made me feel special. He did everything for my sake.But the hands he always touched me were sta

Chapter 25: Twisted LoveEltan StormI was worrying over Faith, sitting in my cabin at the Berserkers.Even though I told Lisa that I was leaving, I came to my office to calm myself and wait for Mutiny. I was really freaking out over what Faith would say. In haste, I revealed my truth, but...I shook my head to jerk off the negative thoughts. There was no point in overthinking until I met Faith myself.Besides, I needed to talk to Mutiny about something after taking Dr. Parkin's advice. I needed to know her behavioral patterns in detail so that I could distinguish between her and Faith to avoid incidents like the one at the factory. I didn't want to keep doubting Faith again and again.

I kept standing outside, anxiety churning inside my chest from her cold shoulder.From the moment Faith opened the door for me this afternoon, I couldn't grasp anything from her expressions."Eltan? Come in," she repeated."Since you're inviting me inside, is it safe to assume that you don't hate me?" I asked reluctantly."I will answer your question once you are inside," she told me.I gulped the lump in my throat and finally stepped on the threshold, closing the door behind me.

I instantly pushed her away.Mutiny only laughed maniacally in response.I wiped my lips with my sleeves, cursing myself for letting my guard down in the presence of this nutcase of a woman."Hey, that's rude," she commented, motioning at my wiping."Oh, yeah? What about kissing a taken man without permission?" I snarked."Faith and I are the same person—" she started to say virtuously, but I cut her off."Don't give me that bullshit right now." I shot her a death glare.Her laughter slowed do

"I didn't select these stupid clothes. Your beloved girlfriend did. So scold her when she's back.""Then bring her back.""Nope." She stuck out her tongue at me and ran off straight toward the car awaiting us.I shook my head in disbelief and motioned to Denver to start preparing for the attack tomorrow night, while I took her to where we

Chapter 29: Nightmare And ComfortEltan StormI almost drifted to sleep when I felt the bed dip beside me.I grabbed my gun from under my pillow and instantly sat up, pointing at the intruder."My love, it's me," came a familiar annoying voice.I let out a sigh of relief and lowered my gun before turning on the bedside lamp and bursting out, "What the hell are you doing in my room?" I was pretty sure I locked my room in fear of her– my eyes fell on the open window. Of course, she must have climbed in through that."I wanted to sleep with you," Mutiny said innocently, sitting on her knees, dressed up in very scandalous clothes. I avoided looking below her face at all costs.

Chapter 30: Not Right NowEltan StormI was in a deep sleep until bright sunlight washed over my face, pouring in from the window.Grumbling, I rolled over and pulled the comforter over my head. I was having a nice dream. Even though I couldn't exactly recall it now, I wanted to return to that world."Eltan, wake up," I heard Faith's voice.Faith's voice? Was I still dreaming? No, never mind, this is better than a dream.I peeked out from the comforter and saw Faith standing near the bedside with a hand on her hip. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail with loose bangs hanging from the sides of her forehead. She looked adorable."Wake up.

No matter how things went tonight, I couldn't afford to lose my cool. "I will tell you later."I couldn't tell Faith that I was taking her to the enemy's den with me hoping Mutiny would come sooner or later. I had to make up a lie, or maybe, I should just tell her the truth. But no, what if there was an adverse effect and she fainted? That would be more troublesome.From my peripheral vision, I noticed Faith becoming quiet and rubbing her palms up and down her upper arms. She seemed scared.It instinctively made me reach out my hand to grasp one

I asked over the phone. "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Mrs. Martin?""I was having dinner with Anna, but then, duty called, so I rushed over. I have to hang up now. I'm busy.""Which duty—" Before I could ask, she cut the call.I let out an annoyed sigh.It was ten at night. It could be either of the duties since she maintained two jobs—one as the manager of the second branch of Berserkers, and the seco

We won't get a second appointment if we miss the first one," I reasoned out."I still won't go. Why didn't you ask me beforehand if you are so concerned about missing the appointment?""Because I knew you would say no."We were currently back home in Vegas at Faith's apartment.After we returned from New York two weeks ago, Faith saw a psychologist here since she

Chapter 38: Two Sides Of A CoinEltan Storm"I'm so sorry for being careless, Big Bro. You can hit me if you want," I sincerely said, closing my eyes and waiting for Elian to hit me.But instead, I was wrapped in a tight hug. "Thank you for finding him," was what he said, contrary to what I expected of him."But it really was my fault—""It doesn't matter. You returned Xian back to us safely. You did your job well," he said, and I became quiet.I watched Xian who was hugging his mom and crying. It was obviously a little too much for such a young kid.Mutiny was standing in the corner, distancing herself from my family.

And right now, we couldn't find him anywhere.Eltan already called his men to send out a search party. They were going through the CCTV footage around the park. Whoever took Xian even threw away the phone Eltan had given him."Shouldn't you let Alena and Elian know?" I asked hesitantly while Eltan was pacing around in front of the house.

But I was all in for a hard challenge.So far what I understood was, I had to be gentle for Faith like I have always been and rough for Mutiny because that was the only way to deal with her unpredictable actions.I needed to talk to Faith about it as well. I needed her permiss

"Technically, I didn't lie, though. Because we are going to meet Elian after this.""Mommy, you didn't tell me we were meeting Eltan," Xian complained with a pout."That's what you call a surprise, baby!" Alena cooed. "Also, call him uncle," she added a little sternly."It's fine. I will feel old if he calls me uncle." I turned my gaze back to Mutiny who was still skeptical of the entire situation. I

Chapter 34: New ConflictEltan StormThree days passed by since I told Faith the truth.She was taking it well, surprisingly. She was putting up a smile constantly, and I couldn't tell if it was a hundred percent genuine or not. Surely, she was struggling inside.But I tried my best to make things easier for her.Since we were going to be in New York for a week, I took her sightseeing to keep her mind off going into dark places.Due to my shoulder still not being fully healed, she wouldn't let us stay outside for long. However, only at that time, I could be sure that she was truly smiling from the bottom of her heart. Because it showed on her face how much she liked having fun wit

I'm just gonna change and lie down," I replied, standing in front of the dressing table and unbuttoning my shirt with one hand."Do you need some help with that?" She waltzed into the room and slapped my hand away to start working on the buttons."Why did you even bother asking?"She shrugged her shoulders and helped me take off the shirt. "What about your pants? I'll be happy to help with this too." She licked her lips and ran her index finger over the edge of my slacks with a mischievous glint in her ey

He aimed for my heart, but he missed and hit my shoulder.I chuckled lightly at her fussing. "He's dead already. Remember, you emptied your magazine shooting at that guy?""Not enough! I'm still going to cut him into little pieces, then I will burn them," she declared, her arms crossed against her chest."Just please
