Leia felt her throat dry at his words. She feels shaky and sick as she thinks about what she's about to offer.

"Well? Don't just keep me waiting now." Mark's words did nothing to lessen her anxiety. But the woman manages to keep her cool( what was left of it anyway) as she replies.

"IF I lose-" she says, laying a lot of emphasis on the 'if'. "- I will spend the night with y-you." Her words stumble from her lips, her tongue feeling thick and clumsy in her mouth.

"Willingly."

"Oh really~" Mark practically purrs. Leia gives a sharp nod. She can practically see the stars gleaming in his eyes.

"So I can ask for anything?." He croons.

Leia swallows again.

"Anything." She whispers.

"You know Leia, you've always been reticent with me. But it seems you're finally coming around." He muses with a dark chuckle.

"It's only a bet!." Leia says defensively. He snorts at her words.

"Sure Leia, just a bet." He seems to find her words amusing. The woman just scowls, still scared but trying to hide behi

    The broker scoffed at her words. "Good? That's all you have to say?!." She sounds livid. Leia winces, guilt bubbling in her conscience. She turns away from the mirror and faces the pinkette. "Look, I know you had some reservations about the summit." Leia tries to plead. But the other woman was still irate as she points a finger at Leia's face. "That's an understatement!." She screeches. Said woman's eyes crossed as she tries to peer at the delicate digit pointing at her nose. The broker snorts, amused at Leia's confounded expression but she keeps her hand steady. With a sigh, Leia backs off with her hands up. "I get it. your mad but pointing fingers, literally or otherwise isn't going to help anybody." The woman narrows her brown eyes before dropping her finger. "Fine. You still baited me. That wasn't part of our contract." She hisses. Leia winces again at her accusatory tone. Leia knew what she did was very low and baiting a broking was a very big risk. You see Leia had ask

"There are over seven hundred windows on the top floor itself."Leia and her team, consisting of one very surly broker, are currently talking about the terrain of the building used for the summit and the logistics of infiltrating such a heavily guarded place.She shifts in her chair, her waist and neck cramping from how long they've been bending over this piece of paper.Clearing her throat and making sure that none of her discomfort is plain on her face she continues."The building itself has over 7 entrances, not including the hidden passages we don't know about," Leia says, her fingers pointing out said doors to the other woman.The broker, still clad with her pink hair and edgy make-up, nods in understanding.she still doesn't trust Leia with her identity even as they're working together.

    Opal nods before inclining her head at the glass of water she has yet to touch.Leia huffs again before grabbing the handle of the small mug."Cheers." She raises the cup before gulping down the water. She drops the cup after finishing, wiping her lips with the back of her hand for any lingering drops."Thanks." She mutters to the silent woman."Hn."It's quiet for a few precious moments as both women bask in the feeling of camaraderie. But the silence is shattered by Opal's inquiry."Now can we get back to planning? I still don't feel secure in your scheming capabilities. I would like clarification on a few parts"Leia doesn't know if she should be offended or not. Choosing to be indifferent she continues with her explanation of the layout."Like I was saying the conference room and suites are heavily guarded and there's a good chance that anybody trying to sneak in would be caught before they even reached the entrance," Leia explains.Opal's slender nose twitches in aggravation as s

    Leia smirks, pleased with Opal's cooperation."Great!." She cheers, lifting her hands in the air. Opal blinks at her, looking like she's reconsidering her decision to work with Leia. The other doesn't care about what she thinks of her bizarre antics. It might seem out of character for her. Normally she has a passive-aggressive cool demeanour.She was only silly around a few people and she honestly never made jokes or teased people like she did Opal.Opal didn't know what to think about it. If she was as good of an information broker as the rumours said she was then she had probably already compiled an analysis of Leia's mannerisms and nature.It was no doubt suspicious how much she has changed, but just like Opal couldn't trust her, she couldn't fully drop her guard around her.Leia was skilled at subterfuge to a certain extent and although she was a bit rusty "likely caused by being a normal person these past few years" she could still determine that Opal was hiding something.But

    Leia has to take in a breath of opal's words.'Her mother? It sounds like something had happened to them.' Leia wonders as she gazes at the woman.Opal looks so tired. It's the first time ever since they've met that Leia has seen this version of her.Granted they haven't known one another for very long , from her prideful and capricious mannerisms she wouldn't have taken her for someone who would openly show her grief to a stranger."Is your mother still.." Leia trails off when opal gives her a small shrug."She's dead." Is her deadpan response."Opal…" Leia whispers, shocked by the broker's admission."I'm so sorry." She finishes, guilt enveloping her.She feels bad. Like very bad. Like the scum of the earth bad. She shouldn't have pushed Opal, especially when she wasn't ready to face her past yet. Even if she didn't trust the other woman, nobody deserves being reminded of their loss."Why should you apologize? It certainly wasn't your fault." Her words are cold and they immediately

    Agatha Boyd called her character with her shoulders up. Nothing could ruin her confidence in her disguise, after all, it wouldn't be her first time in one. Escorted to her boss, Collins, she looked like the perfect secretary with the way she carried herself. "Your invitation," the bodyguard sounded outside the gate. Their car had come to an abrupt halt like they had done to everyone else and she knew too weak she wouldn't be getting in without one. "Show him," Opal ordered like the boss she designed herself to be and after clearing her voice, Leia responded. "Yes sir,"She reached under for her purse and retrieved a white envelope with an ID inside, despite it looking like a normal paper, the bodyguard glared at her and then the paper and after ten long seconds of silence, he nodded in approval."Nice meeting you too," Leia responded almost as if she were irritated, however, she was far from that. Just as the car drove further a bit, Leia sighed heavily with relief, a little lon

    Their eyes widen at the scenery before them. For long it's been known how corrupt the political world is but they never thought it to be this corrupt. Faces of prominent recognised men were before them, escorted by their secretary and they begin to wonder how they were lucky enough to get in. "Mr Collins, meet Minister Ivan," the woman Introduced the two with a cheerful smile. Minister Ivan rose, his hand stretched out as he greets Opal with a handshake. "Nice to meet you, I noticed Nikita had her eyes on you when you first walked in," the man says almost as if marking Opal. "Haha, I'm quite a man, I must admit," she answers with resounding laughter. Leia behind scans the room, her wrist movings side to side as she takes note of the environment. "Quite the hand you've got there huh Collins," Ivan says, his thumb, massaging Opal's hand.His eyes are fixated on her slender hands that he begins to wonder with a frown.

Of course, she had no excuses whatsoever so unwilling she takes hold of the paper, it was a list with everyone on the everyone on is tables name on it, all that was left is the supposed Collins. With a deep sigh, she scribbles a signature upon the paper, handing it back to the waitress who walks back. "What did you do Sir?" Leia wondered but Opal's lips were pressed together and she refuses to say a word. "Alright then, you're the boss," Leia says to herself as she pays attention to the auction. For a couple of minutes, there's nothing but silent chattering as the tray moves around and it takes over a decade before half of the hall is completed.

The atmosphere seemed to close in around them, as if walls were pressing in on them, bearing witness to the tragedy that had unfolded.Amidst her heart-wrenching sobs, Leia's tear-blurred eyes rose to meet the gaze of the man who had just tried to take her life. It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer. He pointed the gun at her once more, his voice laced with a chilling determination."Second time's a charm," he hissed, his finger tightening on the trigger.Leia's world seemed to freeze at that moment. She closed her eyes, expecting the deafening gunshot to be the last sound she would ever hear. Death felt imminent, a crushing weight that pressed upon her chest.But then, the sound she heard was not the gunshot sh

    Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow. Kasen helped her press her back against t

    Mark's eyes cracked open slowly, adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. His head throbbed with pain, and every movement sent waves of discomfort through his body. He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince. "Kasen, what's going on?"Kasen pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze fixed on Mark. "I'll just talk to the inspector, it won't take long," he sai

    The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!" She yelled back, hoping to deter him."Face me you coward!" He spat, his voice laced with anger."No!" She replied, her tone m

    Mark and Leia had been running for what felt like hours, their breaths ragged and their hearts pounding. They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus

    Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room. "Let me go, let me go right now you madman, just you wait, I'll kill you as soon as I get away from here!" She promises Mark much to his fear. He couldn't possibly believe the words coming out of her mouth and feared the worst. Now she's become dangerous to both herself and himself.

    It took more than a while to calm Leia down as she would continuously try to wiggle her way out until she was finally subdued by Mark and fell asleep. Everything looked like hell for Mark wouldn't couldn't help but hope for the best to happen as it pained him to see Leia in this pathetic state, so much so that he refused to leave her bedside when she fell asleep.Everything was a disaster at this point and he just couldn't take it anymore. "Boss," his subordinate called for his attention. Mark couldn't help but feel irritated and yet he couldn't simply ignore their request as he knows that there's more to this interruption. With a heavy sigh he rises from the chair and follows them outside to hear what it is that they have to say.

    Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
