Third Person POVWearing his old bonnet, Raven is riding his bike, way to the headquarters where the meetings of the Mafia boses are held. The snow is nothing more like a hint of good day to spend time with someone you love, but it not to Raven. Slippery road sign tend to be unnecessary to Raven's speed. Police mobiles are running in a hurry to catch him, but eventually, he is leading them to the location.He really wish they didn't changed their location!He arrived at the dilapidated building. He went off on his bike and walk like he is nothing one to be alarmed off. Men wearing like him raised their guns and pointed at him with no time intervening.

Where are you!] Mr. Hunderson's voice rose in furious. Raven took a breathe and gulped. He took a glance on the side of the road to check for his safety. "Could you pick me up?"[W-What?!—] Blurry and huffing sound could be heard on the other line. [Bro! Where are you? We saw the news of police me—]"Could you pick me up...please?" I repeated.[Tell me where are you] Raven's eyes grew big when he heard Everleigh's voice. His face turned into dismay—for himself, at least; when he knew he is busted. He couldn't grab any words lingering from his confused mind.[Raven, tell me where are you?] Everleigh's voice became fierce. This is a serious matter, Raven couldn't tell to her anything—and that
Caused by the incident between the group of red masked men—gangsters, minions of Mafias, Mr. Hunderson, Vince, Clyde, Everleigh, and Raven were brought to hospital. Vince and Clyde both had minor injury on their head. Raven, aside from his gunshot wounds on his leg and shoulder, he got wounds on his arms and back when he protected Everleigh. They are both in not a good place inside the car, not to mention they don't have seatbelts. Raven's body was bumped around inside the car just to protect Everleigh.

Weeks passed and still they are in the hospital. Vince and Clyde both had their energy back. Everleigh wasn't admitted at the hospital anymore, but she barely got out of the hospital. She stays on Raven's private room. Inside the weeks, Everleigh would just walk to the mini park and garden of the hospital, just if she wanted to feel some fresh air.

After Jeffrey answered the call from Everleigh, he forthwith attended to what she said. He gave attention to how heavy the girl on the other line was feeling. Resentment, hatred, and anger, pleading why it happened. Every sob of the young woman could not hide the anguish at the revealed truth. Jeffrey couldn't hide the grin on his lips. He was very pleased with what was happening because everything was in line with the chain reaction he wanted to. In the end, everything will fall on to him too, he will be the last and the one who will end all conflicts. Everything is according to his plan."I'll come see you later, Everleigh. Wait for me, okay? Don't leave without me arriving. I'm the only person you can count on and lean on now," He imitated the way Jackson's—his brother spoke again. Gentle, and seems like a trustworthy person. But the truth.He is manipulative. When the call ended, Jeffrey couldn't stop laughing with pleasure and satisfaction. He was even whacking the steering

Where's Vince?"He plastered a smile on his lips and sat beside Mike. "Man, I'm here, don't you miss me? Let them hang around themselves everywhere," he laughs.Mike couldn't react but to laugh, too. "I'm just asking. You and Vince always sticks together, don't you?""Hmm," Clyde pouted his lips as if thinking. "Yeah, but we are old enough to never too stick with ourselves to each other. I mean, not all the time is we could always be a ruler away."Mile shrugs his shoulders before sipping on his coffee, again. "Want coffee?

Once Mr. Hunderson woke up, he didn't speak anything. He was just roaming his eyes and looking at Mike who is always at his side. Though, Mr. Hunderson's eyes were also tearing up. Doctors and nurses came and check the old man. Everything went fast that Mr. Hunderson is responding with the question with nod and head shake. Mike rubs his hands, anticipating with what would be the result upon his father's condition. Clyde would tap his shoulder, and comfort him with a small smile. He mouthed, 'it's okay,' and Mike replied with a worried eyes. Meanwhile, Jeffrey, on his head, he's been suppressing his violent demeanor. In his mind, he is killing the old man, strangling his neck until his veins will pop on his head, and would turn his eyes into bloody red.

I bought her donuts and drinks for snacks—she isn't eating. "You not hungry?" I asked.She shook her head before lifting her face.Apart from I wanted her to see outside and have a kind of little road trip date with her, this is for the shadow to distract him. He may have a his own securities at the hospital, or everywhere, so this could be a good distraction to his thoughts."Are you sure this is gonna work?" Eve asked, like this is a very dumb idea. "Isn't it too... you know, easy?"The end of my lips curved, before I eyed on her. "He is smart, he see us as his pawns and plaything
Everleigh POV"Wait a minute, it's you?!" I immediately sit on the bed and looked at Raven who is resting. "Oh, boy..."The fabric cloth covering my naked chest fell of, making Raven smirked.

I remember now,"Raven leaned forward and reached for my lips. He planted one sexy kiss. He suck my lower lip, teasing me, and the sound that our kiss made got me wet down there. "I never forgot of you, Eve, never." His hand traveled down to my very core. I spread my legs for his professional fingers. "I was on dilemma when I saw you, all I know about you is your name is Leigh...nothing else,"I wrap my arms around his neck as my mouth opened a bit. His fingers started massaging my c-lit. "...ughh..." I let out a small moan.Raven laid me down to the bed and continue what he is doing. I
Raven POV"You know me even before?!" Everleigh shockingly asked me. "Really? When, where, how?!"I chuckled. I embraced her before kissing her neck. We just finished making love, but I'm insatiable. "Raven, tell me the story," "Hmm? What story?" I traveled my hands around her chest and face her with a smirk. Everleigh smack my hand and removed it. "Tell or else you'll never sleep here for month," My forehead creased. "What? No way,""Yes, yes way,""Alright," I fixed my position in bed. Everleigh lay her head on my chest. "Hmm, the first one is back in our grade school."~Flashback~Mom knocked on the door of my room decorated with marvel superheroes. It was my favorite. Our house is huge and we live in a village.

Everleigh POVI am happily eating my lunch Raven made me. It is so delicious! I can't help it! I turn the volume of my laptop higher, I'm currently watching a comedy romantic movie. The guy is so handsome, and he is always saying truth about his all to the woman he loves. See?This is what I wanted Raven to do! He should've realized how irritating it is for him to hide and act like someone I don't know!Speaking of him. How is he? How are they? How's Dad?They've been very busy with all their job to protect me. I wanted to visit Mr. Hunderson, I wanted to see Mike's doing. Is he okay?I think I'm kind of unfair to them. I'm busy sulking here while they are putting their lives on their dangerous jobs and situations. I guess I have nothing to but to hide, and hide. I'm starting to see how these groups Dad is been fighting with since I was a child. I wonder if Dad has something to do with them. Na dhow Raven became a part of them. I wanted to know all the truth, but my brain isn't read
Raven POV After what Everleigh said to me yesterday, I was in depth of the dark sea. I feel drowning from my own thoughts. Never had a chance to explain all my sides, thought, particularly, my fault to shook my head instead to nod. I wanted her to trust me, but it's me, lying is the reason of her wrath. I shouldn't have lied, if I wanted her to trust me, I shouldn't have. Instead, I should have just tell him partially of my identity. That would be great for her to accept me bits by bits. I'm so stupid. Currently, I'm standing on her closed door, holding the tray for her lunch. She doesn't want to come out, so I made her breakfast, and here lunch so she can eat in her room. There no maids left, so I did all what then maids are doing for her. Her laundry, her food, everything. I just instantly became her maid, just her maid. She would not even let me enter her room. Everytime I would try, she would push me away and beg for me to give
