"Lana, Lana, wake up, the plane is about to land." Damian softly nudged on Lana who was still asleep. It was not always the easiest thing to wake her up, but since all she did in the plane was either sleeping or eating, she had enough of those. She was still in a trance when she straightened her body on her seat. Unable to stretch her hands like she usually did without hitting Damian. The window was already opened and she could feel the sun touching her face.
Her fingers softly rubbed her eyes while she closed her mouth with her other hand as she yawned. She had never slept so deeply in a plane before and she actually had a decent dream. She thought having Damian beside her might have something to do with it. Maybe his presence besides her made her feel a l
"Unexpected things happen in life more often than you expect."-Plautus-***Damian woke up in his bed half naked, his head was still spinning from jet lag, which apparently he had not gotten used to despite have been through it for years. It was his first day of work for the new year and to be honest he did wish he could take a few more days off, but since he was a responsible man, he would not neglect his responsibility due to personal reasons. He stood up, dragged himself to the bathroom and took a quick shower, before going out, put on his shirt, jeans, and jacket, then made his way to work.On his way there, he suddenly felt as soon as he walked into the door's building that something was incredibly wrong, because unlike usual, he saw people from the cyber security department running back and forth on their computer to each other with t
"I do not believe in meaningless coincidences. I believe every coincidence is a message, a clue about a particular facet of our lives that requires our attention."-Deepak Chopra-***Lana woke up the unfamiliar bedroom, her head was still trying to process everything that had happened. So much had happened in the course of two days she did not know if it was even real. She got off from the bed and took out some of her personal care from the luggage. She still had some unboxing to do, but before anything else, she needed to get ready. It was a priority fo her.Despite everything, she still had the Russian habit in her, since she was in Russia, she had hung around a lot of Russian women, whom were truly beautiful. They took high regard to their appearance, they were always so polished and she admired them. They had taught her many things and
"The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the only beginning."-Ivy Baker Priest-***When she arrived, she walked into the building and was greeted by the receptionist. The man was asking her who she was looking for and she told him she was called by Damian Heart. The receptionist recognized the name and he told her to wait for a moment as he was making a call upstairs.Damian who received the news was relieved because the place had been filled with too much chaos, he really could use an extra hand. By the time she came over, most engineers in the room had developed a massive headache due to what happened. He wasted no time and ordered her to be summoned immediately. The receptionist gave her the directions around the building and she was eventually left on her own to find the room, which was not a problem be
"You know I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something is good or bad."-John Malkovich-***Dimitri was sitting in his bed by himself, he had done his daily checking, as if there was anything left to be checked, and was getting ready for bed. Like usual, before he slept, he pulled out a pack of cigarette from his drawer and took out one, picking up his match, he lit it up and started to inhale the nicotine. It was one of the few things left in the world that kept him sane.For the past few days, his mind had wondered to Lana, the little girl was able to defend herself against his men, sending them home with body full of bruises and mental scars from being beaten by a youthful looking woman. Dimitri did not know if he was supposed to be proud or worried, because at one point, it was him who had taught her everything she nee
"Defense is attack, attack is defense, each being the cause and result of the other."-Bruce Lee-***The black hooded man was sitting comfortably in front of his computer. After a whole day of him releasing the attack on their system, those people must have gone insane. A smug appeared on his face as he turned on his system to see what had he obtained from the previous attack. While it was loading, he could already picture in his head the reward he was going to obtain.He had personally never asked for much rewards, as they would reward him already whenever he finished a new task, but that time, he really wanted it. No, he was desperate for it. The throbbing in his heart resembled that of a man before his lover. He was slightly nervous, but confident, after all it was near impossible for them to recover their data any time soon.
"Men cannot stand the explosive mixture of beauty and intelligence."-Sharon Stone-***Lana was brushing her hair while looking at herself in the mirror. She was thinking about the invitation she was given before. Dario did give her the date and the address for their gathering, which would be later on that night. While the invitation remained open, she was still unsure if she would actually attend it. She had a few things to keep in mind if she was going to attend, first, she might get herself exposed publicly, though she would be coming in as Naya, she still felt like someone might recognize her.At the same time, deep down in her heart, she did want to go to the gathering. Ever since she arrived in New York, she had not made any friends at all, though she was mostly fine without friends, since her whole life she only had few people she wo
"Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature and another woman to help him forget them.-Helen Rowland-***The blonde Russian woman was walking down the Russet manor with an almost expressionless face. She was tall and well dress, her 5'7" frame had made her quite the model material, not to mention her milky pale skin, blue eyes and high cheekbone made her look like a conventional model before diversity made its way into the modelling industry. Her slender body was wrapped in a burgundy red sleeveless dress with a filigree printed silk scarf wrapped around her neck. Her blonde hair was tied up in a sophisticated bun and on her ring finger was a large square cut diamond ring which gleamed against the light of the chandelier.It had been some time since she lasts stepped into the manor, usu
"Without standards, there can never be improvement."-Taiichi Ohno-***Damian was drying his hair on his bathroom when suddenly he heard a knock on the door so early in the morning, he had no idea who would come to his place at 8A.M and to be honest it annoyed him a bit. He opened up the door to find none other than his sister, Scarlett Heart, the owner of Scarlett Heart Beauty company and the wife of the one and only Carter Roman, a Wall Street multi-millionaire who owns his own private jet. One of her hand was holding Xenia, who stood there in her red dress and brunette pigtails which complimented her sweet youthful look."Hello uncle." The little girl flashed him a charming smile, the girl truly resembled her mother in term of her demeanor, that girl would be so dangerous in the future when she has become a full grown woman, Damian could
