Dakota's POV

"Luke!" I uttered in disbelief and my eyes were as large as wide saucers.

What was he doing here?

His piercing blue eyes scanned me and then a frown came across his face when he saw the situation I was in.

"Who did this to you?" He growled and my eyebrows furrowed.

I turned to the other side of the bed, I didn't want to see him. I couldn't believe he was asking me that after he was nowhere to be found when I was in danger.

"Leave me alone," I muttered, trying to make him go away but deep inside I wanted him to stay. I was so happy to see him and I was clueless why I was.

The room became silent and I longed for him to say something. I could still feel him staring at me even though I was facing the other side. I knew that his hair was a mess now because of him running his fingers through it every single minute.

"Dakota..." He said coolly. This was the first time I had seen him being this gentle and his voice this soft. "I'm sorry for not keeping my promise."

    Luke's PovI'll be fine if you leave." Her statement was rephrased in my mind as I sat on my bed with my hands clenching my hair. It's been a week now and I couldn't stop thinking about her, her very words haunted me and a million thoughts ran through my head."Daddy, what's going on?" The little girl's voice rang in my head and I gritted with pain.Why am I feeling this way? I am supposed to be ruthless, I am supposed not to have any emotions, so why was this happening? I noticed that since my last mission, I wasn't the same as I was, I have become softer and nicer. I even have some regrets about burning up that house and killing both the girl and her father.I knew that they didn't deserve to die, they were both the victims of injustice and wickedness of humans.Shit.Dakota hated me because of what I was, I could see it in her eyes. She had always disliked me but now she would resent me more, she now knew what my true plans were, and she now knew that I was planning on assassinati

    Luke's POVShe removed her lips slowly from mine after we kissed for a minute, her eyes were wide in shock and I couldn't decipher what she was thinking now. "Why did you kiss me?" She asked slowly and I ran my fingers through my hair."I couldn't get a hold of myself," I lowered my head, I was wrong for kissing her unaware. "I'm sorry." I heard her gasp after I apologised and I slowly raised my head, my eyes met with her hazel eyes. There was silence, a very awkward one and I was clueless on what to tell her."I don't get it, Luke," she let out breaking the silence. "Why are you acting this nice to me all of a sudden?"My eyes widened and I raked my hair for the umpteenth time with my fingers. "I don't know," I replied to her, honestly and she frowned a little. "I just want to protect you." I tried coming closer to her but she stepped backwards. "I don't need you to protect me, I'm twenty, I can protect myself." She told me with a little nervousness in her voice. "When I needed

    LUKE'S POVI stayed in Dakota's room and we talked for over an hour. We planned on how we were going to remove the bounty and how we were going to make sure that she and her family would stay safe till we did that."If we don't know who placed the bounty how are we going to remove it?" She asked with her hazel eyes peering at me. "Protecting the client's identity is one the foremost things the market does, so it will pose a challenge for us to get the identity of who is behind this," I told her and she lowered her head. I knew that she wanted to end this as fast as she could, she wanted to protect the lives of her loved ones."But why would someone do this type of thing to us?" She shut her eyes and then squeezed her hands. "Don't worry Dakota everything will be fine. The police will give you and your family a level of security," I reassured her and her eyes widened when she heard me mention the police. I nodded at her to assure her that meant what I said.No matter how much I disli

Her gaze shifted from me to Luke who was standing a few meters away from me. She stopped talking as her eyes scanned Luke and I began to think of the lie to tell her. I played with my fingers and the air in the room became tense."He's one of the undercover cops watching me and the house," I let out with my eyes shut and I hoped that she would believe me. "He's working under Justin's team, and Justin assigned him here. He is here because he noticed something unusual in my room so he came to check it out but found out that it was nothing that big, right Luke?" I turned around and winked at Luke."Yes, ma'am, I am Luke and I am one of the detectives working on your family's case," he said smoothly and then paused. His eyebrows furrowed a little and his lips pursed into a thin line. "And yes I am part of Justin's team." He added. I nearly burst out in laug

My mother was not worried because she thought that Luke was a cop so he was going to keep me safe and I wasn't worried about my safety because Luke was strong. "I so love coffee," Luke muttered as the blonde waitress with a pretty smile dropped two mugs of hot coffee on our table. I frowned when Luke stared at the waitress for quite a long time but then I brushed it off almost immediately.I ordered my coffee with sugar and a lot of milk, I couldn't drink coffee plain without sugar or milk. I stared at Luke while I was putting the cubes of sugar and pouring the milk into my mug, his eyes were narrowed and his lips were pursed into a thin line, I sensed that he didn't like what I was doing."Plain coffee is too bitter for my liking I prefer it sweeter," I explained to him before he killed me

They kept staring at each other dangerously, they were like cats and dogs, never happy whenever they met, always fighting."What are you doing here, Luke?" Justin seethed and I gulped. "I should be the one asking that," Luke retorted with his voice as cold as the North Pole."I can explain Justin," I stuttered and came in between them so that they wouldn't think of attacking each other. But would I be able to stop them? I was weaker than both of them, and if they were to fight each other while I was in between them they would crush me like a plastic cup."He's dangerous Dakota, get behind me," Justin came in front of me and he reached for the pistol in his gun pocket.

Justin was a problem too, since our encounter in Dakota's house he had been keeping a very close eye on me, and it was very annoying. I walked into the conference room and it was empty too, it seemed like the nine generals were not around or they went on missions.

But I couldn't contact them immediately if I did it could reveal my location and put me in grave danger.I let out a yawn and looked around the room, this room seemed like it was a guest room. It was big, tidy and beautiful. I liked the curvy design of the white reading table by the wall and the glittering golden lamp holders on the wall. I perceived a nice smell and it was coming from the living room. I got out of bed and I went to the bathroom to wash up, the bathroom was quite big and it had a shower place, a bathtub and a toilet. There was also a TV screen and sound system in the bathroom and it was the coolest thing I have ever seen.

He muttered and I didn't utter any words. He began moving fast in the air and whirls of cool breeze brushed past my face making strands of my hair dance around. It was so cool and cosy here, that I almost forgot what just happened. His hands firmly held me as he carried me in princess style, even though I was mad at him, my cheeks became as red as hot sauce.But still, I didn't know why I was letting him take me to a place I didn't know, I didn't trust him a bit now, he told me that there were no other persons who were Cyborgs like him, he told me that he was the only one, but it was all a lie. It was obvious that that monstrous man was modified like Luke. If Luke and that man existed that meant others were like him, if so, then we were not safe on this planet.

    DAKOTA'S POVAfter Justin found out that Luke was coming here from time to time he assigned an undercover agent to watch over me, I tried to convince him that there was no need for that but he didn't want to hear me out, he deemed Luke too dangerous for him to come around me with me so vulnerable. He even told me that he should have been the one watching over me but he had to keep an eye on Luke always and he was also busy finding who placed the bounty.They could never get along because of their personalities and jobs. I sighed and then turned to the man wearing a black suit and dark shades standing by my room door. He had been standing there for more than an hour without uttering a word and he followed me everywhere I went to, even to my room! If not for the words decency and privacy he should have been following me into the bathroom and the changing room.
