Meet me in front of the school gate. This is your last mission.
"Is he serious?!" I slammed my table and stood up, looking intently at my phone.
Jay just texted me and it's freaking 6:30 pm! I am too busy writing the updates on our mission to wander around!
I looked at my phone when it vibrated the second time again. I almost curse when I saw his message.
If you don't, consider yourself exposed.
I can't do anything but wear casual clothes instead of my pajamas. I grabbed my sling bag and put my wallet and phone on it before going out.
"Ugh, he's completely nuts!" I grunted as I marched down the alley.
Seriously?! Even after school, he's going to annoy me?!
That's it! When I see him, the first thing I'll do is hit him hard with my bag! That guy deserves a beating!
But then I halted when I felt something from behind. The surroundings were already quite dark since the sun already set.
M
The faint ray of sunlight brushed past my skin as my eyes slowly fluttered open. I was still too sleepy so I shut my eyes and continue my sleep. My alarm hasn't rung yet so I know I'm still not late. But why is my bed smells intoxicating? The scent is so addictive. I quickly reach for a pillow and hug it tightly. Though I don't know why it's not that fluffy. "Harper," Someone whispered. "You need to get up." "Hmm," I grunted, sniffing the pillow as I buried my face in it. It smells so nice. "Just a minute." I retorted. A soft chuckle tickles my ear. "You're really tes
Killian's Pov "Hey," I tapped the girl in front of me as I rubbed my eyes, yawning lightly. "Where's Harper?" The girl in front of me stared and then blinked twice, her cheeks suddenly turning red. "M-miss president says she needs to step out for a while." What? "Where did she go?" I asked as I scanned the room. She's really not here. "S-she didn't mention anything." It's unlike her. She's too obedient with school rules she won't ever do something unreasonabl- "Tsk." I quickly stormed off the room, anger starting to fill in my chest. "Lake where are you going?! Get back here!" I ignored whoever called me and quickly searched all over the place. Wherever Harper could be, she might be in danger. "How could you be so reckless?!" I blurted out, my eyes scanning every corner as sweat started to run down my forehead. My jaw was tensed as I curled my hands into fists, trying to sto
"Good morning." I stared at him lazily. "I'm not yet done preparing. Why are you here already, it's still earl-" "Now, where is the kitchen again? I'll cook for you while you're preparing." He didn't even let me finished and barged in the house without hesitating. "What's gotten into you?" I asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow at him while I follow Kieve on the kitchen. He quickly wear the apron and started preparing. I can't see his expression because his back is facing me. "Why? Is it bad to cook for my wife?" "Why do you keep calling me your wife? It's annoying." He shot a glance at me and returned chopping the ingredients. "But you're grinning from ear to ear." His words made me frozen still. I quickly put on a straight face as I felt blood rushing through my cheeks out of embarrassment. What in the world is wrong with me?! I didn't even know I was smiling like an idiot! I cleared my throat and started pr
A loud explosion rang sharply in my ears, making me sprung my eyes shot as I quickly gasped for air. The ground shook, making some of my belongings fall down, making a clanging sound as it hit the ground. I can hear screams and cries outside, making my heart pound heavily. I gulped nervously, quickly dashing outside as each step made me feel more fear. My whole body was trembling and yet I forced myself to move, my legs felt numb but I kept running to where the explosion happened. A lot of the students went running away from where the incident happened, bumping on my shoulder as I tried to get there as fast as I can. But I felt shivers run down my spine as I saw what happened from afar. My tracks stopped, panting heavily as beads of cold sweat ran down my forehead. This is bad. The back portion of the school was completely destroyed. I couldn't help but cough as the smoke mixed with dust started to fill my lungs.
"He called them the-""Four Generals." We both muttered simultaneously, the three of us meeting each other's gaze as tension filled our system.Since we are both sharing the same thoughts, memories, and feelings, it was not hard to read each other. I can feel the immense power coursing right through my body, wanting to go rampant as I tried hard to control myself."Calm down, Victoria/Harper." I heard their voices on my mind, making me heave a sigh and tried to focus more."Worry about yourself," I replied through our minds and quickly lunged towards the enemies, leaving the two of them behind."Don't be too reckless!" Laurent yelled at me from behind, quickly following but I ignore his words.I completely am aware of what I am doing right now.
Now, don't ever let go of my hand unless you want to be trapped behind this door forever." He was dead serious, so I nodded though I don't really follow.The door automatically opened on its own, it slowly moved, making a creaking sound. The inside was pitch black. I squinted my eyes but still failed to see amid the darkness before me.The stranger pulled me in and the door behind us closed on its own. The moment I heard him snapped his fingers, the lamps hanging on the walls flickered.Is this really the afterlife? It's so different from the movies with all the white stuff and neat-looking settings. This looks like a vintage place that existed in the Victorian Era.I scanned the long hallway and all I can see are peculiar paintings o

"Why can't you just ask Ms. Kase to do this job?" I complained as I tug my black pencil skirt neatly. I crossed my arms and raise my eyebrows. "She's your secretary after all."I don't know why but I started to get annoyed at him. He never told me yesterday that I will wait for a couple of hours while never knowing what in the world is that 'business' he had to do with Ms. Kase.I mean, I felt out of place!A smirk pappeared on his face as he started walking towards me. I raised my guard immediately and took few steps backward.Mother of cow, my back already met the wall.He put his arms on the wall, making me unable to escape. He was too close I started having trouble in breathing."W-what?""Are you jealous?"
