JAKE

  I knew she was going to block me out again but I had to try and use the opportunity. I knew I failed when she abruptly stood up and walked towards the doorway as if she hadn't heard me. she stopped at the exit and turned to me without making eye contact.

      " I'll pay you back as soon as I can." She said in a slightly shaky voice and left. I might have been ignored but there was something I found out, she really had a nightmare, and judging by the look of panic on her face when I asked her to tell, it was haunting her. 

I was going to find whatever it was out and make it go away. I felt my chest tighten as I gulped down the remaining water in the bottle. I was going to do everything to protect what was mine.

      

   I left the kitchen and went to the living room hoping Mike would be there but he was

    AshleyShe had been avoiding Jake for a week and succeeded but not without sacrifices.She hadn't been able to ask him to take her back to her apartment so she could get some things she needed and sometimes she even went without food because she was scared he would show up while she was eating.During those times she always found food in her room whenever she wasn't there and she suspected Jake had left it there, so she had taken the opportunity to be scarce from her room when she was hungry.She had always stayed cooped up in her room whenever he was around and wandered the house when he left, using the opportunity to search his room and study for clues of his plan. She had asked the master the reason they needed evidence that Jake was after them when it was so clear but he refused to tell her anything so she continued her search.&n

    AshleyHer brain froze for a moment and she stilled, trying to process what had just happened.Jake was kissing her! Her heart was beating so fast she believed he could hear it too. She closed her eyes taking in the new sensation, as she had never had any experience of a real kiss.During some of her missions, she had to act like a slut to get to her target but she had made sure never to sleep with any of them. When she kissed any of her targets, she never thought of it as anything but work.Jake wasn't moving much but she could feel everything in her system. It was exhilarating. She had started moving her lips against his before she knew what she was doing and she couldn't bring herself to stop.The kiss deepened as his tongue invaded her mouth, clashing with hers and she let out a moan which thankfully jolted her awake.

    Jake He had wanted to get Elena some food to apologize for his actions the previous night and to his surprise, he had met her in the kitchen with her head stuck inside the fridge. Never in his dreams would he have thought he was going to end up in this position, with her between his arms and at his mercy. He had been shocked when she had bent to pick her water and had flashed him her bright red panties. All sane thoughts had fled his brain at the sight. He couldn't control himself as he stalked toward her. He needed to touch her before he combust from how turned on he was. Jake watched as her pupils dilated evidently affected by their proximity as much as he was. He was going to make sure she accepted the chemistry between them as real. " J - Jake please.." she stammered, her breathing becoming uneven. He groaned at that and took the items in her hand placing them on the island beside them without taking his eyes off her. Ashley's hands fell to his chest and she quickly re

  • SOUL'LESS   Chapter 1

    AshleyPeople's lives to me are a matter of a simple order. I just had to be given a command and I would just turn off the switch that makes the person breathe. You can't blame me, that was how I was molded to be since the day I was kidnapped when I was just seven.Other kids dreamed of going to Disney world when they were seven, all I dreamt about is how I would survive the next day as a killer in training.They told me along with other kids that if we wanted to see our parents again we had to survive each day. Some struggled, some gave up and we never saw them again but as time went on, we discovered that they were switched off too - I like to say that instead of saying the word 'killed' - and then we finally realized we were never getting out of there without being the person they wanted us to be and that was exactly what I became, a killer.I had my first kill at the age of twelve, then I realized there was no hope for my soul. I turned off all my emo

    He always went straight to the point, one of the things I respected him for. A quality that didn't stop him from being cunning and intimidating. "What are you going to do to me?Kill me?" I asked making sure my face wasn't betraying any emotion. To him, emotions are signs of weakness and it riles him to see any of his"tools" show signs of weakness. "Now what do you mean by that?I'm sure you know you're one of the most valuable assets we have here and your little distress can't change that. I'm sure with time, you'll be better."He spread his hands keeping a small smile on his face like we were discussing the weather and not my mental breakdown. I wasn't surprised since he treated everyone like the asset he talks about. "Just tell me your decision and stop beating about the bush." I slammed my hands on the desk just to annoy him, he hated when anyo

    AshleyI had arrived in Manhattan a week before to get to know the place l was going to start living in. I had learned everything I needed to know about Owens and the person who ran it and was sure I wouldn't be in dark about anything.Today was my interview as Jake Owens's personal bodyguard, more like a babysitter. I hoped what I had provided in my CV was more than enough. I still couldn't believe I was going to be working on this mission.I had known that the master was cruel but this was out of it, I didn't even know the man existed until a week ago. I still remembered how shocked I was when I found out what my mission would be. "You can't be serious about this mission master. You know this is a hard limit for me!"I had slammed my hand on his desk in an outburst which he seemed to find amusing.He knew this was going to get a

    JakeI ran a hand over my face to check if something was stuck there but came up with nothing.Then I realized that she just came through the path that leads to only Celina's office. Well then maybe I'd get some answers from her. I was on my way to her office before that woman ran into me." Mike says he needed the file concerning the accident and I thought I would just tell you myself instead of using the intercom."I said as I went into Celina's office and took a sit. She didn't bother to look up from whatever she was doing. I guess someone was used to me barging into their office." I will get to that Jake. You didn't need to trouble yourself by coming here." She said barely sparing me a glance making me sigh."I'm sorry about not being more careful but you know I have to give this my all Celine," I said running my hands through my hair making them messy.She finally looked up and just stared at me before sh

    JakeI turned my head towards the woman standing in front of me. Did she just snap at me? I looked towards Mike who was looking amused at the situation. Of course, a bodyguard-to-be snaps at me and he finds it entertaining. Typical Mike. " What did you say, Miss Davis?" I turned towards the woman with a frown on my face. She shut her eyes for a second and took a deep breath almost as if she was calming herself. Interesting. " I meant that you should probably attend to me or tell me to come back later. I don't like people ignoring me, Mr. Owens." She replied calmly this time without breaking her gaze from mine. When I continued staring at her without replying Mike joined in on the conversation. "We're sorry for ignoring but I assure you, it wasn't intentional. You can call me Mike, by the way, you'll be seeing more of me if you stick around." He raised his hand for a h

    Ashley She turned off the shower as it had gone cold for a while and took the wet towel from the sink. She gently rubbed down the left side of her body that wasn't in the shower. She finished up and limped back to my room not minding the chill going through her, She needed anything to take her mind off certain things that had kept her awake all night for a while. The shower had helped but she could feel the headache that had dragged her out of bed setting in again. She looked for the luggage bag she brought in yesterday as she hadn't unpacked but couldn't find it so she decided to look inside the closet. Ashley opened the closet and was shocked at what she found inside. It was filled to the brim with clothes that she didn't recognize as hers and she couldn't find the bag anywhere. She took in a sharp breath and checked the clothes in

    ASHLEY My eyes flicked open to see Jake looming over me with a frantic look on his face. Someone was screaming near and I looked around but didn't find anyone. " Elena, calm down. It's okay now, it was just a nightmare." He sat on the bed next to me and held me, making sure he didn't come in contact with my injured side. The screams finally stopped and my breath was coming out in short and harsh. I realized then that it was me who was screaming from the throbbing in my throat. I had taken something close to a bath earlier as most of my weight had to be placed on my right foot and I had to be careful not to get my left injured side wet. It was an awkward moment that left me frustrated as I had to spend twice the time I normally spent in the shower and I could only get myself half clean.I had half limped, half dragged myself back to the room before I finally set

    Ashley He wheeled me inside the house and towards one of the guest rooms I was familiar with. The room was surprisingly decorated in a feminine style. The window drapes were in lavender color matching the purple bedspread covering the queen-sized bed.There was another door in the room which would likely be the bathroom. I would check that out later when I have settled in. I would have thought he had a female relative who had stayed there for a while if I didn't know almost everything about him which means the room had been used by one of his lady friends. I quickly clamped down the thought, not wanting anything to dampen the mood again. " The room is very beautiful. The previous owner must have liked it a lot." "The previous owner? " " Yea

    JakeHe had finished up later than he had wanted to but was still in time for Elena's check out of the hospital. He took the lift to her floor flanked by two guards nodding at the nurses in greeting before entering her room.He found her sitting in a wheel cheer now dressed in normal clothes which was surprising because he had never seen her in anything other than her work outfits.A nurse was helping her with her shoes and they both looked up as he entered the room, the guards standing outside the door. He quickly strode towards them with a panicked expression fixed on his face. The doctor in charge of her had told him there was no need for a wheelchair if the wound wasn't stressed. " What's going on? Why are you in a wheelchair?" He asked looking from the nurse to Elena demanding answers. " Good day to you too Jake. " Elena answered back with sarcasm. Jake ignored her turn

    AshleyI reined in all the desire I had to harm the Master for the first time I'm my life because I knew it would only end in complete and utter failure. I knew the moment I tried anything, I would be put down by the hidden men in the room so I composed myself and nodded my head slightly. " I understand sir but I would like permission to continue my mission. " He frowned and looked deep in thought but as someone who knew him well, I knew he was only putting up a show before he said what he already had in mind. " Fine, you can continue on your mission but there's a catch to it. " I knew it. He rubbed his beard as if whatever he had in mind isn't going to make this harder for me. " What is it?" &
