I left them both in that amusing scene, unable to hold back my laughter as I stepped out of the house.“Are we leaving now, ma'am?” Tina asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.“Yes, Tina, let's go,” I replied, my laughter still bubbling just below the surface.My phone buzzed in my hand, interrupting our departure. I glanced down to see a call from Lana lighting up the screen.“Hey, baby. I'm just about to order an Uber. I'll meet you in–”“Look right in front of you,” Lana's voice cut through my phone, drawing my attention.Perplexed, I followed her instruction and was taken aback to find Lana standing there, beaming and waving at me. She had come to pick me up! Overwhelmed by the unexpected surprise, I grabbed my bags and eagerly made my way into her outstretched arms.“Arrgh! It's only been a few hours since you left, but I felt so blue and tired. You're definitely my medicine, the best stress ball in the world!” Lana exclaimed, holding me tightly.As Lana continued to hug me, her
Here to report, sir! Agent 402 was last seen boarding a flight to Country X, and the information obtained suggests that her destination is safe house 1B895.""Safe house 1B895? Hmm, keep tabs on her. When the time is right, we'll bring her here."The younger man saluted and left the office."Country X, huh? I wonder what you're up to this time, Reina…"***"Brrr, I know this place is quite cold, but I wasn't expecting snow! For fuck's sake, it doesn't even snow back home. What sort of…"Ever since we touched down, Lana had been complaining non-stop about the cold and the snow. I saw absolutely no reason for her complaints though. The snow-covered roads were really pretty, and the landscape gave it a homey kind of vibe. Who would ever believe that this place was a meeting point for criminals and notorious for human trafficking?"Ma'am, we've arrived at your destination.""Apologies for my sister's disturbance. She's kind of irritated from being away from home for so long. We're tourist
"You're late, ma'am. We were planning on attacking without you," Scarface said indignantly."Oh, really, Mason? Pray tell, why would you do that?""Time is of the essence and…""We'll get to that point later, old friend. I was gathering evidence and would love for all of you to look at it, but over a cup of coffee, of course."The men grew paler, and I struggled to hold in my laughter. Poor Lana was toying with them, and based on her facial expressions, Scarface seemed to be the one she was angry with."And who's this little girl you brought with you? Your new lackey? Is she supposed to be here?"Hohoho, he was bold, but now wasn't the time to confront him.I didn't reply and followed Lana into the office. She took out warm water from a flask she had brought, coffee packs, and a tiny vial. The liquid in it seemed clear, but I suspected it was her sweat. She brewed it and turned it into seven cups. There were a total of six men in the room, so it seemed I wouldn't get to taste her co
Say it.""What...what?""I'm not stupid, Scarface. You're leaving out a very important detail, and it's the key to everything.""How did—I mean, what the hell do you think you're saying, you bitch?"Sigh... What was with this guy and the word "bitch"? It seemed he didn't have any manners at all. In one swift movement, I let my blade graze his face, leaving another scar on his right cheek."Looks perfect. Now the scars are properly even. Are you going to tell me now?"He stared at me, pale and trembling."What do you...""Let me rephrase it. Who was the buyer who wanted to buy The Rose? You may have had a meeting on Crimson territory, but that doesn't mean that you actually 'met' a person affiliated with the Crimson Fox organization.""The...th...""You won't die if you talk, bastard. Stop stammering and actually say something, Yunno.""It was... It was The Skull. He... He wanted to buy Crimson's territory, and there was something else he mentioned.""Mhm, go on. What was it?""He want
"Amber... Amber! Wake up!""Kyle, you idiot, let me sleep a little longer. It's so boring in here. There are no weapons to disassemble, no one to shoot, no corpses, nothing! Why on earth do you want me to stay awake?""Someone is coming towards this room and they're talking about father.""Ugh, here we go again. Do you really think father isn't behind this sick joke we're in right now? We should have gone to Lana and sister while we had the chance.""Yeah, Facet and Belladonna? No, we can't do that. They're a pair of their own, and we could never be as good as them. Besides, they'd probably refuse to see us anyway, and father always said they're our competition."Amber groaned in frustration and grabbed Kyle by the shirt."I don't know whether I should use my own hands to tear your brains apart and put them in the right places bit by bit! FATHER IS THE REASON WE ARE HERE! HE IS OUR ENEMY. OUR SISTERS ARE NOT! How can you be so dumb, Kyle?! That man will do anything to break us apart a
Reina couldn't contain her grin as she watched the twins playfully tease each other. Finally, she had managed to find them, and it was a huge relief."All we had to do was mentally prepare ourselves for dinner with father and we would be out of this damn cold country," she thought to herself, a mix of excitement and frustration.Reina looked wistfully at the empty space beside her. "Sigh... I miss Tina already. Waaaah, I can't believe I have to meet with that crazy old man before I hug her."Lana smirked, clearly amused by Reina's statement. "Oh, come on! At least we're suffering together. I hate this damn cold place just as much as you do. You'll have to wait to hug your cutie until we're done with this mess."Rolling her eyes, Reina retorted, "Shut up Lana or else..."Mockingly, Lana challenged her, "What are you gonna do, huh?"Reina chuckled, her frustration turning into amusement. "Sew your mouth shut. I'm already pissed off."Feigning innocence, Lana continued her playful banter
"Ha! If we go through with that plan, he might have a stroke. He always wanted us to bear his name 'Don'.""Exactly! I want to see him furious right from the start.""Brilliant!"I glanced at Kyle's outfit and found it to be quite impressive. He wore a navy blue suit that seemed to bring out a more mature side of him."You look great, Kyle.""Oh...thank—""Let's go change, Amber. We can't keep them waiting, can we?""I've already picked out your dresses, and someone will do your hair too.""What did you choose for us?""A stunning black ball gown. You'll look absolutely fabulous!""That's all? Just a black ball gown?""Hehe, you'll change your mind when you see it."Honestly, I wasn't so convinced, but let's see how it turns out."So, what did you get for Amber?""A crimson red dress.""Talk about being vague. You could give a more detailed explanation, you know?""And ruin the surprise? No way."Lana was always about surprises."Let's go, Amber."We entered the changing room and got
Ah, you must be Alfred," Ashlyn sneered, barely acknowledging his presence."Yes, and how may I assist you?" Alfred responded."Keep your distance, repulsive creature. Your mere presence is polluting this place. Lead us to father immediately.""I suggest you mind your tone with me, Miss Ashlyn. We are not equals...""Excuse me?" Ashlyn interrupted, a hint of defiance in her voice.Alfred remained silent and guided them to the dining room, offering them seats."Please wait a moment, the master was eagerly anticipating your arrival and took extra time to prepare. Have a seat while you wait.""Kyle, check those chairs," Ashlyn commanded."Don't be ridiculous, Ashlyn. Father would never..." Kyle began."Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. You don't know our father like I do, Kyle," Ashlyn cautioned.Kyle cautiously poked at one of the chairs and yelped in pain as a needle pricked his hand."Ouch! Did someone mistakenly put needles in these chairs?" Kyle exclaimed."Ugh...Those ne
I could feel the rumble in Axel's chest, a deep and hearty chuckle that reverberated through his body. His laughter was infectious, and I couldn't help but be drawn into the amusing scene that was unfolding right in front of me."Are you okay, Ashlyn?" Axel's concerned voice broke through his laughter, and I couldn't help but be amazed at his acting skills. If only he had pursued a career in entertainment, he would have been a star."What in the world are you doing, Axel? Put that woman down right now," Lilith demanded, her frustration evident in her voice."Shut the fuck up, Lilith. And what are you doing here anyway? Did I invite you over?" Axel retorted, his tone sharp and dismissive."N... no, but we had plans for today. We made the reservation over a month ago," She stammered, feeling a sense of disappointment welling up inside her and displaying itself all over her face."I remember canceling that. Didn't the restaurant inform you? I even asked Liam to let you know that I wouldn
"I pay him more than enough for all the stress he goes through," Axel stated with a sigh and a feeling of sympathy rose in my chest.Axel's secretary , Liam, looked worn down and exhausted as he tirelessly worked to handle the burdens of his job. "Still, poor Liam," I thought to myself, feeling a pang of guilt.Unable to withstand the tension any longer, Axel decided to confront the situation head-on. "Are we going to keep dancing around the main question here, or are you finally going to give me the answer?" he asked, his voice filled with impatience.I smirked mischievously, apparently finding his frustration amusing. "Dancing seems fun. How about we waltz?" I jokingly replied.He scowled at my attempt to lighten the mood. "Not funny, Ashlyn . What. The. Fuck. Happened?" He demanded, my voice laced with anger.I held up my hand, gesturing for him to calm down. "No need to emphasize every word, Axel. I'll tell you, alright? But first, could you get me my phone? I should be getting a c
"Pfft. You silly little thing," I scoffed, unable to hide my amusement. "I could never hate you, man. You're my brother and favorite person right after Reina."The room was heavy with tension as everyone turned to look at me. "Ok, ok, ok! No one is going all soft and emotional here," I proclaimed, trying to diffuse the seriousness. "I can't stand those. Lana? Do you have something to say to these two?"Lana hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to speak. "I--I'm so sorry for jumping to conclusions without asking you what was going on first, Amber," she admitted, her voice filled with remorse. "On the other hand, I'm not sorry for hitting you, Kyle. You should have controlled yourself more.""Lana!" Reina interjected, her face filled with anger. "You broke his teeth and gave him two black eyes. He deserves that apology.""Fine!" Lana responded, her irritation evident in her voice. "Sheesh, Reina. I don't know why you're standing with him in this case, but I guess I'l
Reina's icy demeanor held the room captive, transfixed by her growing aura of intensity. Everyone couldn't help but be drawn to her. "Bi–big sis?" "Rei? I understand you're angry, but please, gather yourself... Your presence is frightening everyone here." "Kyle, get away from Amber this instant, and Amber, come sit next to me." Amber hesitated, hardly recognizing the person before her as her sister. "Amber!" "O-okay." "Good. Now, Kyle, can you explain exactly what happened?" Kyle nervously glanced at the women in the room until he was interrupted by a stranger's voice. "Kyle beat Amber mercilessly and raped her. All under the orders of Maximus Don." Shocked, everyone turned to face the stranger, her words hanging in the air. "And who might you be to accuse my brother of such a horrendous act?" "Oh, excuse me, my name is Donna, ma'am." "Ah, so you're Kyle's ex, I presume?" "Yes, and I sincerely apologize for everything you all went through. It was entirely my fault." "Is
“What expression?” I inquired, curiosity piqued.Axel promptly rose from his seat at the table, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.“I'll tell you someday, my love. But right now, I'm afraid I must rush off to a meeting or risk being embarrassingly late.”I scoffed, knowing well that Axel despised tardiness. “Oh please, you could never be late. It's simply not in your nature.”A smirk danced across his face. “Ah, but you see, my darling, I intentionally delayed to spend a few precious moments with you.”My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Pardon me? What was that? Have you gone all Shakespeare on me? He leaned closer, planting a tender kiss upon my hair before exiting the dining room. I remained seated, stunned by his words, struggling to process the unexpected encounter. It was then that I noticed Tina and Amber exchanging gleeful looks. What on earth were they so delighted about?"Reina, I believe you require a mirror," Tina teased, snapping me out of my embarrassed stupor. The
"Well, that was... Something," Amber said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice."Spill it, Amber," I demanded, rolling my eyes. "Okay, was it just me or did one of the most feared girls in the Organization just declare peace with her so-called 'biggest enemy'?" Amber questioned."First things first, Axel is anything but my biggest enemy. He's more like a minor annoyance that I unfortunately have to deal with, and trust me, I really need that bastard," I explained."Mhm," Amber replied, clearly amused by my choice of words.I noticed her phone buzzing incessantly and pointed it out to her. "Your phone has been going off since we left the dining room. Aren't you going to answer that?""Oh yeah, it's Lana," Amber remembered. "Pick up, you silly thing," I encouraged her.Amber pressed the speakerphone button as she answered Lana's call. "Hey big sis. What's up?""Hey baby girl. I tried calling Rei but couldn't reach her, so I had to bother you.""No probs. She's here with me, so you can s
I couldn't believe my eyes as I observed this eccentric woman going out of her way to save some random stranger, all with the sole intention of getting under my skin. "Fine, I'll give her to you," I finally conceded, unable to resist her antics any longer.Her initial amusement quickly transformed into surprise upon hearing my unexpected response. "Really?! Wait... What do you want in return?" she questioned, suspicion evident in her eyes."Nothing," I assured her, hoping to alleviate her doubts.She shook her head, a look of disbelief on her face. "Axel... I refuse," she stated firmly."And why is that?" I inquired, genuinely curious about her reasoning."You want to have sex with me, don't you?" she bluntly asked, catching me off guard with her boldness.I hesitated for a moment, caught between the truth and the desire to maintain some sense of decorum. "While I must admit that I do enjoy being intimate with Lilith, engaging in a sexual encounter with you would undoubtedly be equal
I had heard sounds of the wild antics that occurred in the living room, so I didn't hesitate to bring Amber downstairs to witness it firsthand. As we descended the stairs, Amber's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the unexpected sight of Lilith and Axel engaging in really passionate sex on the chair. Grinning mischievously, I urged Amber to capture the scandalous scene on video."Amber, get a close up! We can't miss this shot," I exclaimed eagerly."Wow, living with you just keeps getting better and better," Amber replied, clearly amused. She continued recording the shocking display as I moved closer to Lilith and Axel. Lilith finally noticed my presence and hurriedly pushed Axel away, embarrassment painted across her face."It seems that not much has changed since I left. How amusing," I commented dryly.Axel fell over in shock upon realizing my return, stammering out a greeting. Why did he always lose his composure whenever I entered a room? I couldn't help but suppress a laugh
I couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter as I stared at Kyle. "Pfft. Hahaha, money?! Damn, she's even better than Axel now.""It's not funny, big sis," Kyle said, clearly unamused.I tried to nod and keep my laughter in check, but it was quite the task. "I don't know why she would do this for money, big sis. They aren't rich, rich, but at least they lived comfortably. Besides, she could have asked me for anything, and I would have given it to her without hesitation."Sigh... Did Kyle ever stop and consider that Maximus must have had some dirt on her? She must have lied about something from the beginning. "Kyle... Don't you think that Maximus had something on Miranda?""What? Of course not! I checked her and everything. She's completely clean," Kyle insisted."No, she's not," Amber suddenly spoke up.All of us turned to her, curious about what she meant. "What do you mean, Amber?" Kyle asked, his voice laced with tenacity."Exactly what I meant. She isn't clean, Kyle. She
