The stranger walked into the home, after inputting the code passed on to him through a message by the one who employed his services.

He steadily made his way upstairs adjusting the gloves on his hands and reaching into his backpack for the equipments he needed.

Once upstairs, he headed for the room at the end of the hallway as instructed in the message.

He opened the door and was met with a strong feminine scent of apples and lavender.

And then he got to work, setting up the mini cameras on the four corners of the room as well as the hallways.

Making sure that he camouflaged the cameras to the colour of the wall it was placed on.

The mini cameras were very expensive and rare, due to the fact that it was transparent and very small and can go unnoticed for a very long time.

How his employer laid his hands on them, he couldn't tell.

She immediately covered up, tugging at the sides of her dress that gave out together, noticing where his gaze was fixated on. “A-Adrian!” She called out hesitatingly.Adrain just stood, he finally looked up to his brother, who stood behind Vanessa with a devious smile on his face, and then he sniffed his fingers and plopped them into his mouth, closing his eyes, almost like he was savoring the taste and then returned his gaze to Adrian's. “I-I can explain”, Vanessa began, but went silent when she saw the expression on Adrian's face change and then he launched at his brother, pushing her out of the way.Adrian dragged Andrew by the collar and started delivering punches.

She smiled at Adrian, eyeing him thoroughly, before tucking her hair behind her ears.Oh! For heaven's sake.Adrian seemed to notice that, as he replied with one of his rare smiles and a wink.“You look well Mr knight!” She commented, “I try my best,” he replied, the smile still splashed across his face.“I'm so sorry about what happened to your wife, I'm so glad she's better now!” She continued, not sparing Vanessa so much as a glance, her voice dragging out in a flirty sl

She popped it open forcefully, not realizing it was aimed at her face, and so the cork was shot at her eye. “Son of a bitch!” she cursed out, the pain resonating in her eye, dropping the bottle which broke on impact with the floor.She searched frantically through the refrigerator for a pack of peas or corn, anything cold enough.She found a meat pack, and placed it anyway, sulking at the pain she was currently in. She heard the doors to the house fling open and then footsteps, followed by the doors being shut with a loud bang, which resonated thro
