That's right. Sean was lying helpless with torture lasting for weeks. The man didn't even understand what was happening. His consciousness was half lost and half returned. It was just silence without a hint of movement.
"Fuck!" Theo swore loudly. Vladimir was playing too far away. His fucking face appeared with a contrived smile. His hand waving really made Theo sick. [Long time no see, Goddamn killer.] [Did you see who was there?] Vladimir turned to look at Sean. [Your brother, right?] He chuckled smoothing his tanned hair in front of the camera. [I'm giving you until tonight to come save him, or else... he'll also end up like your beloved sister.] [Don't bring weapons. There will be no mercy if I find out about it. Get ready. There are a few hours left. Your time starts now.] Theo's fists on the table tightened. His muscles were straining. He hissed with h"No!" Rose's leg muscles felt weak. She moved backwards several times. Anything... Rose wanted something to help her stand on the two realities that jolted her simultaneously. Rose knew Sean was just a part of the past, but how far Rose would go to brush it off. The reality was that she couldn't stop caring. Not thinking about anything was not the reaction of Rose's body. She tried to understand, even though she would never understand. Everything that was interconnected would always be unsolvably complicated. "You are very presumptuous to enter my room without permission." Rose's breath caught at the jerking voice. Her husband was angry, but Rose's balance was on the brink. Barely able to stand up straight, Theo's single touch helped her to become solid. "Sean's hurt," Rose murmured, not caring about the hissing tone that echoed earlier. She knew only Theo could be expected to pull Sea
Theo towered. Heading for the operating table where it all began because of his thirst for murderous passion. One of Rose's chokes forced Theo to stop. "Are you going to go save Sean?" Her eyes rounded with hope. Theo swallowed to utter an answer that hung in the air. “Ya.” "I'm coming with you." He watched Rose's grip tighten around his wrist. "Back to the room," Theo said, trying to maintain composure. Pulling Sean out didn't mean he was going to let Rose in. Vladimir would certainly do everything he could to keep Theo trapped. Rose's desire would only add to the problem. "Go back to the room. You can trust me. Without you even begging. I will do it. I promise I will bring Sean back safe and sound." Always the look in Theo's ashes was the center of Rose's attention. The man spoke with his face down. Rose knew Theo was hiding everything from her. "I'm coming with you
A small movement from the bed provoked her to turn around just to see what Theo was doing. "Here you go." Two laptops... the man placed them on the surface of the big bed. Rose was speechless as she watched Theo's fingers drift over the keyboard and the screen display that further trapped Rose in incomprehension. She either didn't know Theo or was too blind to see ahead. "I can't let you go. But you can still see what I see later. You can't walk beside me, but my eyes. Yes, you can be my eyes." One laptop display showed parts of a dilapidated warehouse, one of which was the room Sean had been kept in. Rose turned her attention to the other laptop screen, where the wall of the room between them was recorded. Then everything went dark as Theo pulled the zipper of the leather jacket he was wearing up. The hidden camera would help Rose guide Theo through the steps. "Use this." Theo handed Rose a microphone and a small earphone, already
"Yes, I could... if that's the kind of reason you want." Rose wanted to say something like that. But the only action she could take was to give Theo a deep lick in lieu of words, which could not be spoken. Until Theo left, only the touch of lips became a gesture and burned in silence. Rose could not possibly express everything she felt, especially since she was still immersed in a big dilemma. Rose's breath came in ragged gasps, then put the listening device in her ear. Sitting back on the bed was Rose's main goal. Two monitors were in view. One indicated the presence of several guards in each of the recorded rooms—passing by, among them never separated from their firearms. The second monitor had a black display, which meant Theo was traveling towards the outdated warehouse. Rose had to be patient with the camera lens that was not yet open for her. [Test. Rose, do you copy?] Rose gasped. Theo's questio
"Can't you just go straight to where Sean's being kept without passing through there?" Rose pursed her lips in anxious expectation. She had to fight the pause Theo gave before the man answered. [I can't. The victims were already scattered when I was at the front gate. They won't stay silent."] [Where should I go right now?] [Hurry, Rose! Before they disperse.] "Right." Theo's insistence almost made Rose unable to think. Her one word was something that came out spontaneously. Rose closed her eyes, not daring to witness or even stare at Theo's displacement as he explored every dimly lit hallway. The clomping of feet and ragged breathing pitted each other. The faint tones of strangers talking blended with the sound of a door opening. [Come toward me, mother fucker.] Theo's baritone voice was clearly just challenging. Ne
"Please hold on, sir." Lion repeatedly turned his face away amidst the onslaught of driving focus, or simply gazed from the rearview mirror to make sure Theo's consciousness was still within reach of the master. Theo's face was pale, sometimes his throat moved up and down, or his lips more often closed and then opened silently. At first glance... those who didn't look closely would think the man was fine. The reality was far different. No matter how many wounds Theo had, all were covered almost perfectly by the black cloth wrapped around the body-the lower half was torn with holes. There were wet spots, and ones that had hardened after the blood had dried. "Hang in there, Mr. ...." Lion's tone was the first time the man was unable to condition. Theo's response was too little, barely any movement. Forcing Lion to stop the car and turn completely backwards. "Sir?" The skin of Theo's hands was cold. The closed eyes further ad
Not yet fully recovered from the aftermath of the reaction that almost destroyed the defense. Theo had to face the attacks of the previous two men. Successfully... as well as getting one shot lodged in the shoulder. Theo got up as his opponent lay unconscious. He leaned on anything that could support his body—struggling through any life—threatening situation. In front of the closed door. Theo slowly stepped into the place where Sean was trapped. The sound of screeching clashed with the grunts of a man in the corner of the room. "A murderer, is a murderer. That will never change." The silhouette of Vladimir's body refracted outside. Theo gave him a sharp, piercing stare. "What do you want?" he asked. However, a burst of thunderous laughter was all he got. At the same time, Vladimir quickly stood in front of Theo. "It's simple. Stop being a slave to the government and cooperate with me." Theo chuckled. "I
A small remote control was already in Theo's grasp. That being said, if Vladimir wanted to play, he should get to know Theo better. Coming unarmed... that would never happen. Theo had everything ready. From the next building, he had positioned the blaster rifle directly facing the open window of their current location. "You won't be able to fight me. Your only choice is to agree or-" "Never ...." Theo hissed. Lasers flashed from the remote in his hand aimed at each of the gunmen. Bang! Bang! Bang! He hides behind a large pillar as bullets begin to scorch almost all of them. Vladimir manages to read Theo's actions, and is no less quick to shield himself from the surprise attack. "You bastard!" cursed Vladimir once he felt safe. The man's rage exploded as he watched his subordinate fall to the ground. "Yeah, and you picked the wrong guy." "B
Rose's breath roared as she waited for the situation to allow them to scramble to the surface. "I'm not asking you to touch my stuff." Theo's growl jerked Rose to lift her face slightly. Rose got a free space once Theo broke away. The two sat facing each other under the long table. "Shall I smoke you, Sugar?" Sugar .... The call was in stark contrast to Theo's hissing sarcastic tone. Rose placed the gun in a tight grip right in front of her husband. Avoiding the possibility that Theo might do something bad. "I didn't know the bullets were real," Rose whispered, not trying to defend herself. Like the dozens of bullets Theo had spewed from the firearm the man had used. Rose thought the gun lying on the utensil had similar ammunition. She chose to take the shot herself and ended up with a glare that still held her close. "One more time you touch my gun without permission, I'll cut your fingers off."
Bang! The sound of a gunshot rang out after Rose caught up with Theo in the training room. The first time she set foot she found a navy blue coat lying on its side, almost slumped over the foot of the sofa. Rose clucked as she tidied it up and positioned it in a better spot. Theo's broad shoulders never escaped her gaze. The remaining white shirt wrapped around his sexy body. Rose leaned back with her arms folded across her chest. Bang! Another shot hit its mark. Theo was too skilled for anything related to the current activity. Shooting was the most common habit, or actually Theo's life would never be free from such things. Like some of the events that had ended. Rose recalled Theo's statement to the line a while ago, 'killing for pay.' She both needed Theo and worried. Theo is important to help her get revenge. However, Rose was well aware that being a contract killer was not easy. At any time Theo could be harmed, including enemies—enemies who would n
"Oracle. He was afraid, didn't even want to see me." Silence to understand. Rose tried to piece together the tangled threads, which were tangled without end. The main objects started from the octopus doll to other toys, which Rose slowly understood. "You went to see Oracle, is that it?" asked Rose carefully keeping her tone. Theo's faint nod provoked the next sentence to hang on the edge of her throat. "So you bought all these toys for Oracle?" Rose confirmed once more. "Yes. And this is for the little cuties. But they all refused. Wouldn't accept my gifts." Octopus doll for Acampeliaz .... No wonder it's so special, Rose wondered. "Leave it to me. I will give these toys and dolls to Oracle and Campel." Rose had her hands up, perhaps Theo would immediately hand over all the small objects. However, what happened instead was that Theo arranged a set of robots from the 'marvel' series, including a s
"Let go, Dad, I'm going home." "The people here are sickening! I don't like it." The attachment continued for Mr. Alejandro. He had to accept the fate of the mess he himself had created. It's all affecting his daughter. The poor woman who must endure the pain of revenge and mutual destruction. Mr. Alejandro was looking for the wrong opponent, not understanding the things he was ignoring. He should have started the war when Bouldog died. But the desire to possess Theo overcame everything. He never thought that Theo would be the most difficult to conquer. One time he acted, multiple times he was attacked in silence. That ingenuity was what he had dreamed of. Unluckily, Mr. Alejandro was unlikely to be ambitious again. While his daughter had been destroyed. Mr. Alejandro waited for the right time, at least until Elsesa—Elsa could compensate for the woman's mental and physical state after being hit simultaneously. "Calm your
Rose had to admit that Theo was quite different by remaining silent when their position was intact. The last sentence from her was ignored, the man was busy sniffing Rose's body scent. Deeply nuzzling the surface of her flat stomach. "Take a shower." Rose played with the black hair warmly. She smiled as Theo looked up at her. "Take a bath with me?" The ash bead drowned Rose deep in the warm ocean. She pursed her lips as she pulled Theo's facial skin wide to the side. "I'm old enough to bathe by myself. Hurry up...." A faint shake of Rose's head brought her to fall on her back on the bed. Theo's thirsty face and the man's large fingers began to dig into a t-shirt depicting a black bear, just like Theo who was currently resting on top of her. "I told you to take a shower, Theo. Not—" Rose was silenced by the tongue thrusting into her mouth. The sound of a wet sniffle trails off—a greeting of desire igni
Slowly Rose's eyelids slipped from their valves. The same Theo stared, silhouetted against each other in the mirror—Rose was lost in the seduction of the locking gray bead. "I was thinking of Oracle. He knows I don't like wearing earrings. Deliberately gifted me earrings so I'd wear them," Rose replied, successfully drawing one of Theo's eyebrows up high. "He's here, isn't he? Why don't you go straight to him." Theo's baritone voice whispered softly. Comparable to the smile on Rose's lips that curved again-this time briefly and too faintly. "He's back home ...." "Home?" Rose's body was slightly freed as Theo moved his face away from the crook of her neck. "Yes. Axe came to pick him up earlier." One step away she found Theo moving backwards. "Strange. Oracle came home because he was afraid of me, right? Did I hurt him too much?"Theo's quiet tone disturbed Rose's mind. She scrutinized the few times Theo's expre
Rose didn't care how the swaying bed jerked like a violent swinging shock. She maximized each powerful gallop like a giant crashing into the earth. Theo's body was a soft target for her feet. The man moaned in a submerged voice. Yet, also with pleasure... sometimes asking Rose to move from one spot to another. "Up again, Sugar. Up to the shoulders." Rose chuckled, still doing everything Theo wanted. One foot stomped even harder on her husband's hot, sexy shoulders. "That's it," Rose said. One leap ended the earthquake on the surface of Theo's body. She flung herself down beside the sleeping man. "You said you will give me back my gift box!" "I need to know. Who gave you the gift?" "Oracle. Here, give it back quickly." Rose's arms extended to pull the red velvet box in Theo's grasp. Their positions were in sync, both using their arms as a fulcrum to lift their chests. "Let me open it." Theo's large fingers separa
"No, you don't. You had your fill of acting like a baby last night." Rose ruffled the remaining strands of hair that still dangled over half of Theo's face. She looked down, searching for the most comfortable spot to strike. "Ouh, Sugar ...." A contrived hiss. Rose knew that no matter how much she clenched her teeth, it wouldn't give Theo much leverage. "Let go. I have to meet, Axe." "You son of bitch. I hope you don't leave before I get back." The chances of escape were slim in the conditions Rose had to face. She wasn't going to waste it, deliberately hunting her nimble footsteps leaving Theo alone lost on the bed. Rose reached for the doorframe. The hinges clicked after she positioned herself facing the man who had been calling impatiently. "You're taking so long." The stifled protest from the owner of the deep, raspy voice uploaded a barely perceptible smile on Rose's lips. "Sorry, Axe. I h
"Open your eyes, Theo." The throbbing was still as loud as it had been the first time Theo had spoken. Rose's heart and head were fighting each other. Each fighting for the space that overlapped the boundaries she had created for herself. In between came a strange feeling, which Rose could not organize into a symphony. She was a jumbled mess of randomness. Should have reconsidered Xelle's sentence a moment ago, was it true that Rose was trying to stay with someone who made her get lost in her own feelings? .... No, she wasn't. Rose didn't want to be confused by all that reality. As far as possible, she separated the things that shouldn't be lodged in the deepest corner of her heart. Towards a kind of choice which is the most appropriate to win Rose's sanity. She didn't want to be conquered. "Wake up. Get up, Theo!" Rose squeezed the clay muscles in her husband's arm. Turning the curled up body to face the ceiling of the main room. "T
