"Miss, it's time to get up!” Maira's voice echoed into my ear, and I felt annoyed.
Hugging onto my pillow, I rolled over to avoid the sudden rising sunlight and buried my face into it.
The annoying heartache of a breakup is just the worst, and even though I had to meet Linda like an hour from now, all I really wanted to do was stay in bed.
“Your breakfast is going to get cold,” Maira said from the other end of the door.
Why was she so hellbent on my well-being

With a smile on her face, Linda looked at me and said, "Oh, he will be here soon."It didn't take more than a minute after her remark for the sound of a knock on the door to draw both of our attention to the entrance.Suddenly the door opened, and I took one look at the person walking into the room before smiling and mumbling, "Jacob,""Hey, Lilith. It's lovely to have you on my team just like the old days." Jacob said, shutting the door after him."Agent Lilith, you will be working with agent Jacob on this mission," Linda said with a straight face and authority in her voice."Yes, boss," I mumbled, smiling when Jacob winked at me.

Suddenly, Sniper's cry turned into laughter, and I allowed him to laugh his heart out before striking him in his mouth, which left his gum bleeding and his teeth red with his blood."You bitch!" Sniper screamed, raising his head. But I pressed it back to the floor, hitting the back of his head into the wooden floor."You better start talking before things get bloody, pretty fast." I calmly said."What are you going to do if I don't? Tear another mark into my face!" Sniper shouted. "Go ahead! Do it!"Looking at the dull look of fear in his eyes, I smirked knowing he was on the edge of breaking and I just needed to give him a little push."No, I'm going

As I stared at Jacob, I sighed, realizing that he was right, and mumbled, "You were right the other day we met?"A look of confusion crossed Jacob's face, and he kept gazing into my eyes for a while.Then his eyes widened, and he mumbled, "Atlas shot his shot?""Yeah," I mumbled, feeling embarrassed not because I felt drunk, but because of the way, he said it."You and he?""Are date,"Shrugging my shoulders, I tilted my head and mumbled, "Well, we were dating.""Lilith, you bad bitch!" Jacob said, smirking at me. "Wait, were?"

As the morning light crept into her bedroom, my eyes were already open, and yet she wished that she wasn't awake this early. Another sleepless night.For a while, I lay in bed feeling alone and sad as I listened to the quietness in my room, and even though it was just the start of the day, I already wanted it to come to an end.I missed the days of waking up in his arms and not on an empty bed.It had been two days since Atlas made it clear that it was over between us, and I couldn't get over the fact that we were over, even though I knew it was.The thought of getting out of bed crossed my mind as I turned her head to the right and gazed at the spare pillow, then her lips curved into a pout.

When the waiter set the try down and turned around to leave, I slowly withdrew my hand away from my gun with my eyes still on him.But just as I relaxed, I saw him reach into his coat, and immediately I jumped to my feet and grabbed him by the waist, pushing him towards the wall, away from Atlas."Aria, what are you doing?!" Atlas shouted, his voice shaky with fear.At that moment, he elbowed me in my face, and after my grip loosened on him a bit, he turned around, and that's when I saw the gun in his hand."Oh my, he has a weapon!" Miles yelled, sounding so bogus than a terrible actor.Ignoring the pain in his chin, the blood seeping from the cut in my ski

********Atlas POV******* The gate automatically opened, and I drove my black SUV into an artistic yard. Once the vehicle stopped, I got down from the car and walked over to Aria, and waited for her to shut the door before taking her hand in mine and exciting her to the villa. After entering the house, we were about to head upstairs when I saw Victor walking down the stairs, approaching us from the opposite direction. “Atlas!” Victor mumbled, walking towards me. When he reached the last stair, he frowned and asked, “Why are you holding her hand like you guys are some kind of a couple.”

The moment my eyelid rose, I carefully got out of bed because I didn't want to wake Aria, got dressed, and headed back to my room.Once I got inside, I took out my phone from my pocket and went straight to my call history, realizing that I had seventeen missed calls.The majority of them were from my uncles and I supposed they heard about what had happened yesterday concerning the shooting and uncle Miles and they wanted to annoy me with their crazy suggestion to leave or die.The last thing I wanted after walking up to an amazing morning was to hear these old crooks' voices, so I scrolled through all of their numerous calls and stopped on Tony's missed call.After dialing his number, I waited impatiently for a coup

When my uncles left the office, I paced back and forth in the room, unable to restrain the feeling of anxiousness coursing through me. Nothing was adding up, and everything wasn't making sense, and now that Uncle Miles was gone too and Aria and I got attacked yesterday, my feeling of fear was at maximum level. After walking about the room like some madman, I finally took a seat behind my desk and stared blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, my phone started vibrating, and I pulled it out of my coat pocket, staring at Aria's name blinking on the screen. Immediately, I answered the call and rested the phone against my ear, listening as she said, "Good morning, Mr. Ghost. Can you tell me why I woke up to an empty bed?" It took me a moment to process those words because, with everything that had happened, my mind was a bit disturbed. Letting out a sigh, I rested back on my seat and shut my eyes before mumbling, "I'm sorry. I had to get to the office and the news that I met here isn't go

In some sense, we were never that different... Life hasn't been fair to us... Her toxic relationship with Mitch, and the betrayal of my uncles, brought out the worst side of us. But the best outcome of it all was meeting her."What? Do I have something on my face?" Lilith giggled, her eyes widened so cutely.I shook my head and replied, "No..nothing like that."

His uncles shifted uncomfortably, clearly taken aback by Atlas's confident demeanor. Then Alex cleared his throat. "We'll be going now," he said stiffly."Right. But before you do, you all are fired, effectively and immediately. I want your desks clear and your belongings out of the offices by the end of the day," Atlas declared, his tone unwavering.Alex exchanged a look with his brothers, their expressions a mix of surprise and indignation. "Atlas, you can't just—" "Yes, I can," Atlas interrupted firmly. "I have played the game of cat and mouse long enough with you all and it's time to end it all once and for all.""Atlas, nephew..." Luke stepped forward, his voice a mix of pleading and frustration. "We've been here for you since day one. We've supported you through thick and thin. You can't just cast us aside like this.""Right," Ransom spoke up, his voice tinged with bitterness. "After all we've done for you, this is how you repay us?""We have always had your best interests at

"The court is about to begin! Everyone, please take your seats!" announced the bailiff, breaking the tense silence in the room.Atlas squared his shoulders, exchanging a glance with me. I could sense the weight of stress and the complexity of emotions swirling around him. We moved past Alex, Atlas went to the front with Wilson, and I sat on the bench with Tony and Victor. The two took my hand in theirs, and I smiled at them, feeling a bit less tense. The room fell silent as everyone settled into their seats, awaiting the start of the proceedings.As the judge entered and took his place at the bench, the courtroom hushed even further. "The court is in section! We are here today to determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant, Atlas Sharpe, in the murder of Mitch. Mr. Wilson, you may proceed with your opening statement." The judge announced.Mr. Wilson stood up, adjusting his glasses before addressing the court. "Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury," he began, his voic

Silently, I sat on the bed watching Atlas wear his coat. When he reached for his tie, I woke from the bed approached him, and gently took the tie from his hands. "Let me help you with that," I whispered.Atlas turned to face me, his eyes softening as he nodded. I deftly looped the tie around his neck, my fingers brushing against the cool fabric. The silence between us was comfortable, filled with unspoken words and shared understanding.As I tightened the knot and adjusted the tie, I glanced up to meet his gaze. "You look perfect," I said with a small smile.Atlas smiled back, a rare and beautiful sight. "Thank you," he murmured, his voice warm and tender.For a moment, we stood there, inches apart, and even though he tried to mask it with a smile, I could see the stress in his eyes. The trailer has been going on for one year and today we get to hear the final verdict. I knew how much this meant to him, how deeply he cared about the outcome.

"Okay," I said quietly, clicking on the most recent file, and the video began to play."Stop... Stop, Mitch.""Mitch, stop!""I can't breathe... Mitch, you are going to kill me." "I am not going to lose you again, Lilith!.... Especially not to that bitch!! You are mine! You are fucking mine, and I don't plan on making the same mistake twice and allow you to slip from my grip again.""I... I...a-m n-ot go-ing to be...bet-ray y-ou." "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I don't know how much you hate my guts... The disgust on your face every time I touch you... Nothing I say or do could make you look at me the way you once did. You despise me." "You're wrong, Mitch...""Shut up!... I am no fool, Lilith... Now that that bastard is in a pitiful position, you are all over him. For the past two months, you barely come home or care to spend time with me. We’ve been drifting apart. You’ve become distant and indifferent and I hate it... Hate it, Lilith. So fucking much.""Mitch, plea-se."

Atlas walked in with Mr. Wilson, his lawyer, and Tony by his side. His presence seemed to fill the room with a sense of dangerous aura."Who hired you two morons?" Atlas repeated, his voice laced with anger.The taller detective's face paled. "Mr. Sharpe, we're just trying to—""You two know that this is outrageous behavior, right?" Mr. Wilson interrupted. "You two are investigating under pretenses, which is not only unethical but also illegal."Both detectives started to sweat, visibly nervous. "Mr. Wilson, we were just—" the shorter one began, but Mr. Wilson cut him off."Just what? Trying to manipulate my client into handing over evidence without proper authorization? This is a clear violation of her rights."Atlas stepped closer to my bedside, his eyes softening as they met mine. "Are you okay, Lilith?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.I nodded, feeling a rush of relief at his presence, and cried out, "I'm okay. Just a bit shaken... You are okay... I am so happy that you ar

Lilith's POVThe was this continued beeping sound ringing in my ears, and I squeezed my eyes.Suddenly, I sucked in a deep breath and then jumped up, screaming, "Atlas?!""Hold her down. The anesthesia has worn off." Dr. Ling said, and I gazed around to see that I was in a hospital room."What... what's going on?" I managed to ask out, still not quite awake, my head feeling foggy like it was covered in cotton wool.Dr. Ling began while walking towards me. "Well, you got shot in the arm and punched in the face. You suffered a serious concussion and you had minor surgery to remove your arm." "Where... Where is Atlas?" I mumbled, my memories a bit hazy with sleep, but I forced myself to focus."The detectives are waiting outside. They had been for a while, waiting for the anesthesia to wear off. They can better answer your question... But are you mentally ready to talk to them?" I nodded, trying to gather my thoughts as much as possible, feeling more aware now as my memories became

Looking away from Tony, I started around the room, and called out, "Lilith... Lilith! You in here?!"When I got no reply, my heart pounded as I realized Lilith was gone. "Tony, where is she?" I demanded, fear tightening my chest. His eyes widened, mirroring my panic. "I thought she was right here with us," he said, shaking his head. "How come-"Without a second thought, I dashed out of the apartment. The hallway stretched endlessly ahead."Lilith!!" I called out, my voice echoing off the walls. When I got silent in response, I reached for my phone, dialed her number, and listened desperately for any sound that might lead me to her.Then, in the distance, her ringtone cut through the air. I sprinted towards it, each step burning in my chest. As I reached the further end of the hallway, there she was... a shadow in the dim light, and then my eyes caught sight of Mitch turning around to face me."Atlas, get down!" Lilith screamed. At the sound of her voice, I dropped without hesitati

An hour later, I was seated by Atlas in the backseat of his car with Tony driving the car. The address Linda had given us led us to a modest apartment complex with faded paint and overgrown weeds. As we approached the building, Atlas’s hand found mine, offering a comforting squeeze."We’ll stay in touch through the comms," Tony said, breaking the silence. "If anything goes wrong, we’ll be there in seconds."I took a deep breath and squeezed Atlas's hand back, trying to steady my nerves. The apartment complex ahead looked rundown, with peeling paint and cracked sidewalks. It felt like the kind of place where someone could easily disappear into the shadows."Got it," I replied, my voice steady despite the tension. Both Atlas and I got out of the car, and Tony parked it a little further down the street to keep a low profile. The building loomed before us, and Atlas kept close to me as we approached the entrance, his presence a reassuring anchor."We’ll head up to the apartment on the th
