Chapter 8: Weird

Alena Fleur

"How can someone be so careless? You were doing so well, and you could have kept that up. But no! You had to go knock yourself in the face. This is why I'm always telling everyone at the office to never get overconfident, but look at you now!"

I was holding a bag of ice to my chin as Elian scolded me mercilessly. With how much he was rebuking me, I almost wanted to yell back that it was his fault—his stupid damn charming smile!

"It's not my fault, okay? It's the gun's fault," I mumbled with a pout.

"Of course, it's never your fault. You're the most innocent person in the world," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

I continued pouting.

"C'mon, let's get you to the doctor," Elian urged.

"No, it's just a small thing. Look, the bleeding stopped as well." I pointed to the tissue in my nose. "Plus, it's not even broken. Why bother going to a doctor?"

"How about we let a professional decide if your nose is broken or not?" he let out.

"No. I'm not going to a

    Chapter 9: Déjá VuAlena FleurIt was finally the day before the weekend. I couldn't wait for the day to end so that I could hit the bed and sleep for two days straight.After all that I went through this week, I wanted nothing more than to sleep it off and start afresh.Things were going okay with Elian as well. I tried to forget whatever happened that night, and now, I was successfully pretending it never happened. He was my boss, and nothing else.Right now, the two of us were at the manufacturing facility of Storm Dynamics. It was always me who came to check up on the finished products, but this time, God knows what Elian was thinking, he tagged along.It was an important project. We were sending firearms to the military, so a little mishap could mean our company could be shut down for eternity.I was doing rounds when I noticed a worker taking a box full of rifles in the wrong direction."Hey, aren't they all supposed to load the boxes in the truck?" I asked Mr. Jeremy, who was i

    Chapter 10: BrowniesAlena Fleur Elian brought me home after the incident. He also bought the brownies that he promised."Are you going to watch as I take out my spare key, you stalker?" I asked."Why do you keep forgetting I'm your boss and you're supposed to show me respect?" he grumbled and turned around."Well, you don't like it when I call you 'Sir', so deal with it," I said and kneeled down to take out my spare key from under my neighbor's flower pot. I didn't keep it under my flower pot because of the high chances of getting robbed as a single lady."There are other ways to show respect, you know?" Elian said."I will show you respect when it's needed. Right now, I see no need," I replied."I think I deserve respect more than ever now. How many bosses do you think will bring their employees back home and buy them brownies?" he pointed out."Nice bosses would," I retorted and opened my apartment door."So you're indirectly saying I'm nice now?""Once in a while, you are," I sai

"Why would I do that?""I don't have time to explain, Alena. We need to run away." This was the most panicked I had ever seen him."Run away? Where? Why? I don't get any of it."He grabbed my shoulders and said, "Alena, just listen to me, okay? We have no other option except running, so just go and pack your essentials in five minutes.""I don't know what happened. But doesn't running away mean we are guilty?" I tried reasoning."Yes, but they won't give us any chance to explain. The orders are to shoot at sight. You and me."My heart clenched at what he said. "What?" I asked, staggered. "That's not possible. I never did anything to deserve an order like that. Surely, the cops aren't that bad—""They are. You just don't know because you have never had to face them like that.

    Chapter 12: Conspiracy Alena Fleur"So where are we right now?" I asked, looking around the lounge area of a fancy apartment complex."Somewhere safe," Elian replied and walked towards the elevator.I followed after him without question.We had managed to get rid of the police cars which had been chasing us, and after that, we were right now at this unknown place. I was sure this wasn't where Elian lived. I had been to his mansion once before.We reached the top floor of the building and got out of the elevator.Elian rang the doorbell of the only unit there, and soon, the door opened up to reveal a familiar figure."Hello, brother," Lance greeted with a welcoming smile. When his eyes trailed towards me, he added curtly, "And his employee.""Hello," I mumbled, still not sure why we were here."Hey, thanks for letting us crash," Elian said and entered without hesitation."Anytime, Elian," Lance said. "Aren't you coming in?" he asked me."Um, yeah. Thanks," I said and stepped inside th

I asked skeptically as Elian sat beside me and started typing the password."Sure, why not?" he shrugged and let me have the laptop.I shook my head at his brazenness and opened Lance's mail box. I added my email account and logged in, but there were no new mails with any attachments. "Did I not press 'send'?""I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't," Elian responded dryly. "Why don't you check the draft?""Even if it got saved in the draft, it wouldn't be here.""Then where would it be?""In my other account.""Why do you have two email accounts?""So that I can send myself emails," I simply answered. "Why don't you log into that account?" he suggested.I sighed hopelessly. "I don't remember its password. The password is in my phone's notepad.""Well, I guess we are back to square one." He closed Lance's laptop and g

    Chapter 14: Shopping Adventure Alena Fleur When I got out of my room in the morning, I was greeted with the sight of Lance making coffee for himself."Good morning, Lance," I wished. I decided to call him by his first name since it would be weird to call both brothers 'Mr. Storm'."Morning, Ms. Fleur," he wished back."You can just call me Alena," I said."Okay," he simply agreed. "I didn't see you bring any bag of clothes last night," he mentioned.I looked at the pink cotton t-shirt and pajama shorts. Surprisingly, those female clothes in the drawer were my perfect size, though I didn't dare wear any of the undergarments of an unknown person."No, I didn't. These belong to your brother's kinda-girlfriend," I replied."Kinda-girlfriend?" Lance asked in confusion."Yes, do you know about her?"He didn't bother replying to me.I pouted and looked at the delicious cup of espresso he just finished making. "Do you mind making me one?""Yes, I do," he replied shortly."You know, your bro

We were going to run out of the mall at once, but the security guard, who noticed us, had already informed the others to block the main and back exits, so we were stuck now.The bathroom seemed to be the best option, so we hid in here. Thank goodness, there were no other men at that time, otherwise, I might have gotten traumatized for life.When I finally managed to regulate my breathing, I noticed how close the two of us were standing.The situation seemed really funny, actually. Just a week ago, I couldn't have pictured in my wildest dreams that I would be hiding in a shopping mall's public men's toilet with my boss.Elian seemed to have noticed my expression. However, he didn't ask me anything and only tried to suppress his own chuckle. Was he thinking

I asked dreadfully.Jace nodded. He was called here to crack the new passwords of Elian and my laptops. He was successful, of course, but our laptops were completely clean. There was not a single file or document.All my hard work and saved files were now… gone. I hoped whoever did this hit their pinky toe on the table corner many times."Can't you retrieve them?" Elian asked."I will try, but it might take some time," Jace replied."Good luck," Ashton mumbled, cleaning up the dishes from our dinner. He had ended up not only making lunch for us but also dinner because Elian and I were both incompetent in the cooking division."Ashton, don't do the dishes. It's Elian's turn tonight," I hollered as Ashton put the dishes in the sink."It's fine. Ash is happy to do it for me," Elian responded, a

I couldn't ignore it, either, knowing all too well how Alena would scold me."Looks like I will just have to order a new exact one—"Just then, I heard the front door open."Shit. I really shouldn't have given my key to her." But what else could I do? It would be suspicious if I didn't, given that we had been dating for one and a half years now.I threw my

I became numb. He had always made me speechless, but never in this way. My chest had never hurt like this before.My legs gave up, and I plopped down on the edge of his bed, tears stinging my eyes."What should I do? Wha–what should I do?" I asked myself, my voice choking up. "What if... what if he never comes back?"I buried my face in my hands, full on sobb

"Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?""I always sleep well when you are with me," I replied and tried to catch her for another kiss, but she was already on her way to the dressing table to grab her hairbrush."Of course, I'm the most huggable person ever," she praised herself.I smiled looki

"Baby, it was a joke, though."Yesterday, after my exams were over after one week, we were riding on his motorbike when I told him that he had to wear something red for me since we missed our chance to celebrate Valentine's Day. It was solely for the purpose of teasing him. As expected, he profusely denied it, but in the end, he gave in to my persistence and said that he would wear a red denim jacket or shirt.The more time I spent with him, the more

The movements were swift and quiet, though. The only sounds which could be heard was the waves crashing against the dock and the creaking of the wood underneath the footsteps. Although there was a touch of nervousness in the air. None of the men dared to misplace a single item under my watch.In short, I was getting bored. I wanted to see Alena.That reminds me..."Did Braxton agree to shift their business somewhere else?" I asked my consigliere in a low voice.
