2023-01-05 18:28:30Loud gun shots echoed all around in the huge mansion. Cold bodies lying unalive on the floor as we walked over those bodies to find her.
"Damn! She really is a killing machine." I heard Lorenzo's voice ringing in my ear through the earpiece.
He is right. She is a killing machine. The amount of dead bodies we crossed over and the way blood is splattered on the floor like water proves it.
"Nic, behind you!" Shawn warned me in urgency and I turned behind to look at the same girl I fell in love with, heading towards me, blood painting her face.
Before I had the time to react she jumped on me throwing a fist at my face resulting in a small cut on my lower lip. I could feel the metallic taste of blood inside my mouth.
She didn't gave me enough time to react, when she kicked me on my chest and I ended up falling down on the floor. I have no fucking idea how am I suppose to calm her down without hurting her back.
I can't attack her and she is being too fast to act defensively. Before I could stand on my feet she sat down on my lap pinning my hands above my head with her both hands.
Her hair locks falling down on my face as her now red eyes, furious with anger stared down at my face. Just by a look at her face I could tell how much she was hurting inside. All the hurt she had hold inside her was now coming out in the form of wrath. The wrath that could possibly destroy the family line of someone.
"She will kill you, Nic!" I heard Crystal yell from behind but I couldn't think of anything to do to calm her down and the thought of anyone hurting her to save me made my blood boil.
"If she would even loose a strand of hair, I myself would rip out every fucking person's heart here." I warned everyone, struggling to get out of her grip.
Flipping our positions with the every ounce of power I have. I pinned her down beneath me, her hands locked above her head under my palm.
"Look at me, Zyra." I said in the softest voice I could manage to utter in. Her eyes softened for barely a minute before the same anger and pain rushed back into her eyes. Only if I could take all her hurt away.
And, in one quick motion when I let my gurds down for her, she had me trapped right under her body, again. Her hand roamed on my body searching for something, and her hand stopped on my waistband when she finally found the weapon she was looking for.
My gun.
No matter how much I tried to keep the gun out of her reach, she still got it. I realized how close I was to death but not even once the thought of hurting her back crossed my mind even when she had her gun aimed right at my head, between my eyes.

And she embraced th chaos as it painted her life with purpose. -JH Hard. | Z Y R A | "Alright, we have it under control." I heard the voice of Flora, my best friend, in my ear through earpiece. "This wig is too fucking itchy." I cursed under my breath as I walked further crossing the people in the hall. The hall is huge because of course hundred of people will be bidding on one single shiny rock today, in millions. Taking a few steps ahead my eyes fell on Logan Walker, his face screams manwhore. He would run after anything with boobs. But, considering he is a thief himself, a professional one not to forget, so it wouldn't take him long to figure out what I am here for. Logan may be the manwhore of the group but he is the best in what he do. Stealing. I mentally cancelled him from the list, walking ahead when my e

A smile will get you pretty far, but a smile and a gun will get you farther. -Al Capone. | N I C O L A S | 2 days later... "What the fuck do you mean we have nothing!?" I seethed in anger on the thought of a girl tricking all my team and managing to steal the Dresden green diamond. "Apart from her blonde hairs and brown eyes." Crystal interrupted. "We have her face in cctv footage. But it doesn't matches with any result. It's like she never existed." Shawn explained and I couldn't help the feeling of wrath consuming me on the thought of a girl tricking us. "She looks hot." Logan's voice reached our ears when he was eyeing the girl in the cctv footage like a fucking creep. Crystal and I rolled our eyes while Shawn face palmed on how Logan's mind works. Sometimes I wonder how even is he the best thief. "I need that f

She would rather walk alone then follow someone else's shadow. -R.G. Moon | Z Y R A | "PUT THE GUNS DOWN!" Aleeza yelled for the second time and I took his stupid wallet out of my pocket, throwing it at his face but he managed to catch it. "Go to hell." I cursed and turned around walking away from him. He is a stupid grey eyed human who happens to piss me off at our first meeting, not technically though. "Okay, am I hallucinating?" Flora's voice fell in my ears and I knew what was going on in her mind. "No. He is really here." I confirmed and the color drained from her face and the look of shock took over. "I th-" Flora stopped mid sentence when Aleeza showed up with her brother beside her. He has his arms resting inside his pocket as he eyed me with a look of amusement. "Girls, he is my brother." Aleeza introduced and

She is the perfect amound of chaos and peace. -r.h. Sin. | Z Y R A | "Your lips look lonely would they like to meet mine?" The fuck. I turned around to look at the owner of the voice only to come face to face with the manwhore of the team. Logan Walker. "Ex-fucking-cuse me?" I was already pissed after dealing with two assholes today and god just keeps adding in it. "Are you a light switch cause you turn me on." He winked at me, still keeping his stupid pick up lines. I take he is not good in reading obvious facial expressions. "This pick up line expired ages ago with your brain." I replied with a straight face. In response his lips only tugged upward when he smirked, "Feisty, just my type." The fuck is wrong with these people today! "Say another word and my fist would do the talking." I warned my arms crossed against my chest and my one brow raised, challenging him. Surprisingly, h

Crystal informed me as if it was supposed to ease my anger, anyhow.It's been one week since we've been working like crazy on one single girl sho managed to trick all of us. She is fucking incredible at her job, I'll give her that."She is so damn hot!" Logan gushed walking inside the room with a man whore smirk plastered on his face.Everyone in the room, including me, looked at him as if he needs his head to be examined and honestly he really does."What are you talking about?" Shawn queried, his eyes narrowed in confusion while I and Crystal waited for him to answer Shawn's question. Even though we know Logan finds anything with boobs hot."Zyra." And when her name escaped his lips I couldn't help the grinding of my teeth and clenching of my fists. She has be

She orders. That's how I ended up here. But now looking at the cocky smirk plastered on that asshole face of his, I can't help but regret giving in to Aleeza.Aleeza, Crystal and Flora went to bring some bandage to wrap around to stop the bleeding and I took it as my chance to put my mask down but Nicolas Fucking Russo took me off guard with his words."And, here I thought you were brave enough."

"Warming my hands on the bridges I've burnt." -Atticus |N I C O L A S|"Stabbing wound?" I questioned my voice laced with curiosity as I joined everyone."Yes, it's a knife stab." Noah informed me and I couldn't help but frown. And, my frown was directed to the green eyed woman seated at a fair distance.Everyone in the room directed their attention towards her, waiting for her to explain. Is she suicidal?"I-" She started but soon came to an halt when Flora spoke, "When she tripped and fall, there was a knife on the floor." She finished, quickly."So, you are bleeding because of a fucking knife?" Aleeza shrieked out of no where forcing Noah to flinch, reluctantly."Seems like it." Zyra muttered avoiding looking into her eyes which didn't settled well with me. She never do this, especially, not with me.Noah examined her injury and cleaned it before wrapping a bandage around it so it doesn't get infected. C

There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one. -Euripides |Z Y R A|"That was close." Flora sighed as she plopped down on the soft couch.I put the book down when she spoke. Even though she didn't mentioned anything but I know what she is talking about. The whole stabbing wound thing that happened in the Russo penthouse.Honestly, it was pretty fucking close."But you lied, smoothly." I said, appreciating her for her presence of mind because for once I though I really lost it. My mind."It just slipped." Flora shrugged as if it is no big deal which makes me wonder that if she really is such a good liar how many times has she lied to me?"Does that make you a liar, Flo?" I wiggled my eyebrows at her, teasingly. Because there are a few things Flora hate being called. One of them happen to be the word liar. Even though she knows that we are."I would like to

Life starts all over again when it gets crisps in the fall. -F. Scott, Fitzgerald. |N I C O L A S|Two months later..."Is it even good to eat pickles and chocolate together?" I ask Flora, who sat beside me eyeing the food eating monster ahead of us. Two bowls, one of pickle and another of chocolate rests on the table and we are strictly ordered to keep my eyes off that food, because apparently, that weird combination of food only belongs to her. We would not even like to ruin our taste buds with that. Thank you very much. "Does it matter?" Flora asked me, holding the glass of warm milk in her hand that Zyra needs to drink to digest all the food she has been eating lately. "She would not stop, anyways." She shrugged. "Why don't you talk to her about it?" I tell Flora, because if I would go to talk to her she would start throwing things at me, which includes everything from cushion to flower vase. "And, get myself admitted in the hospital?" Flora

Until you have tethered your madness to someone else's sanity in order to keep breathing, you don't know vulnerability. -Nicole Lyons.|Z Y R A|In one quick move he reached for me, tugging me against his chest as he claimed my mouth with his, in a kiss that was so much hotter and possessive. His lips slanted over mine, hot and needy as his tongue tasted my mouth. I froze in shock for two seconds or three before I kissed him back. His mouth was punishing, slamming against mine, savage and raw. He attacked me with his lips and I met every single assault of his, I moaned into his mouth. Explosions of sensation that I felt all over my body as his mouth attacked mine were so intense. I kissed him just as savagely, channelling all my rage into the kiss, biting his bottom lip, hard. I bit hard enough that it draw out blood and I tasted blood, my tongue darted out to swipe at his lips. He growled low in my throat, pulling me closer. His to

People will kill you over time, and how they will you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like "be realistic". -Dylan Moran. |N I C O L A S|The loud piercing scream of the man travelled to my ears, providing the extreme relief. In the shadowed recesses of the chamber, an oppressive malevolence hung thick in the air, suffocating reason and festering in the very marrow of the room. The acrid scent of fear, a tangible miasma, intermingled with the metallic tang of desperation, creating a spectral atmosphere that clawed at the edges of sanity.Cillian, the hapless who had dared to sever the tether to my soul, now cowered in the spectral gloom, his futile resistance against unyielding restraints a pitiful ballet of despair.A cruel grin twisted my lips, a grotesque mask of malevolence that reflected the abyssal darkness within.The flickering light, a feeble sentinel against the encroaching shadows, cast ominous shapes upon my countenance, morphi

And, I wonder what is a greater wish, this entire world or to be free from it. - Cara Dekel.|Z Y R A|Two months later..The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow on our shared space. Nicolas, with his overbearing protectiveness, insisted on handling even the lightest chores, citing potential risks that only his mind could conjure. A simple task like reaching for a cereal box became a hilarious dance of him swiftly gliding in, determined to be my knight in shining armor."Nicolas, I'm just grabbing some cereal, not defusing a bomb," I teased, watching his serious expression dissolve into a reluctant grin."You never know, love. Pregnancy cravings can be unpredictable," he quipped, handing me the cereal box with a flourish.Did I mentioned that ever since he has started calling me love, I get this weirdly good feeling enough my stomach where I just wants to remove everything from between us and kiss him?Just like Ni

No human being has ever stood so close to my soul as you stood. -James Joyce. |N I C O L A S|I stood at the edge of the hospital bed, Zyra resting peacefully amidst the sterile surroundings. Her dark hair spilled over the pillow, a cascade of untamed waves framing the serenity on her face. The lines of worry that had etched themselves into her features were softened, replaced by a newfound vitality. The transformation was as palpable as the anticipation in the room.My gaze lingered on the subtle curve of her belly, evidence of the life growing within. The very thought of the tiny heartbeat beneath her skin fueled a fierce protectiveness within me.Zyra's lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks, and the rise and fall of her breathing was a soothing rhythm. The beeping of the machines served as a background melody, a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength that could emerge from vulnerability.Her hand, warm and delicate, reste

In the era of calamities, you are a moment of peace. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|Noah's words rings in my ear, 'Both, the mother and the baby are fine.'Who the hell is the baby, they are talking about?When I asked the question, everyone in the room shared looks with each other as if contemplating whether to tell me or not. "What is it?" I asked, no one in particular. Because judging from their faces whoever answers my question can enter in the list of my favourite people. Shawn, who is standing at the foot of my bed spares a glance to his boss, as if telling hin that it is all on him. Aleeza and Crystal looks worried and concerned? No idea what it is but I am starting to realise it is pretty serious. "Noah, what baby are you talking about?" I ask the doctor himself, not relying on the people around me. Because right now, they are as good as a phone without internet. Noah looks guiltily between me and Nicolas as if contemplating whether to an

After two days of misery, two days of going through absolute hell, she finally rewarded me with her life. Her hauntingly green eyes came to my view and I swear I have never breathed and sighed in relief more. Her pale face slowly returned to life and all I could do was thank her for returning. She came back, that's all matters.Her gaze met mine, and in that charged moment, time seemed to hold its breath. The room, still and sterile, bore witness to a reunion tinged with the weight of our shared history. Her green eyes, a repository of unspoken stories, traced the lines of my face as I stood at the threshold of her recovery."David," she spoke my name, the syllables carrying a resonance that echoed through the silent space. A fragile smile played on her lips, revealing a vulnera

Today once again on the thread of my sorrows,I have strung the flowers of your memory. -Faiz Ahmed Faiz. |Z Y R A|My eyes flutter open, and for a moment, the world is a blurry canvas of shapes and shadows. The soft hum of machines and distant shuffles of footsteps weave into my consciousness, creating a disoriented symphony. Where am I? What happened?As clarity gradually infiltrates the haze, the sterile scent of a hospital seeps into my awareness. White walls stand guard around me, and the rhythmic beeping of monitors punctuates the stillness. Panic flutters within me, a caged bird desperate for release.I turn my head, a slow, deliberate movement that sends a wave of dizziness through me. The sight of an IV drip, its thin tube disappearing into my arm, anchors me to a reality I struggle to grasp. Questions crowd my mind, a carousel of uncertainties spinning faster than I can catch them.Then, as if emerging from a dense fog, faces come int
