She angrily moved forward as they led her to the same area where Daniel had been kept only that she was now far from him. The guns were now pointed at her head and it was distracting Daniel and he was getting beaten pretty badly.She was angry and humiliated, she couldn’t imagine herself being the source of pain for him.She turned to one of the goons, “shoot me… shoot me if you have the guts” she told him and she fixated his gun right on her head“What are you doing Kathryn?” Daniel asked and this time when the man wanted to hit him, he bent and sent the man flying across the room into a pillar “I said shoot me… or don’t you have the guts?” She asked with a smirk on her face and the man stared at her shocked“You look like someone who’d just escaped a hospital.. you’re still wounded.. we don’t wanna kill you or your family would die “ he told her and she chuckled “Your mistake then” she told him and before he knew it , she turned the gun at shot at his head immediately. The other g
She stared at the unconscious Daniel in shock before proceeding to shake him, “Daniel, Daniel “ she called as she rolled him over her so she could get up. She winced in pain as she held on to her stomach, the stitches from the surgery were bound to have come off after the day’s activities. She looked at her clothes, they were bloodstained and when she put her hand beneath his head, she saw blood and gasped, he’d been injured on the beads. She gasped before shaking him.“Wake up Daniel, wake up” she told him as she tried giving him chest compressions but they weren’t helping.“If he doesn’t wake up, it means I’ve failed” she said to herself before putting her hand on her forehead.. she couldn’t fail, there was no way she could fail.She’d failed once as an assassin, she couldn’t fail now as a guard. She managed to get him on her back despite how weak she was as she used the shaky walls for support while many parts of the building came crashing down as she walked out of the building.
Daniel slowly opened his eyes as he looked around and he saw Kathryn opening a cupboard and keeping clothes. When he saw that she was turning to him, he immediately closed his eyes. He wanted to know how she’d been treating him the whole time he was unconscious. She walked to the bed and sat beside him before putting a towel in a bowl and then squeezing the water out before putting it on his forehead. She did it so carefully like she was his wife and he couldn’t help but smile. Despite being such a talented assassin and goon, he’d hands still felt so delicate when they touched his forehead and it was when he smiled that she realized that he had regained consciousness.“Daniel?” She called like a mother would call a child she’d just caught stealing ice cream in the middle of then night.He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face and as he tried to get up, she put her hand behind him before putting a pillow so he could sit well. He saw that an IV drip had been connected to
Not wanting the whole atmosphere to become cringy, she acted like she didn’t hear what he’d said.“I know you heard what i said but it’s not what you think” he said and she stared at him.“And what do you think I think?” She asked“I don’t love you as a person, I love you as a chef” he said and for some reason, his words hurt her but she decided to play cool.“That’s what I was thinking “ she said and they both chuckled“But for real, I love your food. It’s the best I’ve ever had” he told her and she smiled“My cousin thought me to cook “ she said and paused, it was obvious she didn’t want to continue but she’d already started and gotten him interested in the conversation so she had to continue.“And your mum, I’ve never heard about your mum” he told her and she got off the bed“You don’t know me so it’s fine if you don’t know her.. you don’t even need to know her “ she said before going to get a napkin and cleaning his mouth. After she had finished feeding him, she took the plates
Kathryn gulped, there was no way she could tell him the truth. She couldn’t tell him the main reason she took a billet for someone she barely knew but one thing was for sure, she had to get answers, answers that couldn’t be gotten had that man been shot. She inhaled deeply,“I’ll tell you but you’ll have to answer my question first “ she told him. She was doing her possible best to divert his attention, she didn’t want him to know her plans yet. It was only after she’d gotten the answers she sought that she would confide in him.“Tell me, what is it?” He asked. If answering any question of hers would get her to answer to the reason she’d taken a bullet for someone who wanted to ruin him, he was willing to do it. According to him, there was no question she wanted to ask that he would have an answer to. His personal life, professional life, mafia life, he had answers to all of these questions so hence, he was willing to answer them. Besides, what was it that she wanted to know?
Lips still pressed against each others’, eyes widened in shock, arousal was taking place and Kathryn knew very well what this was doing to him but she didn’t care, why should she? She wasn’t paid by some random man to seduce the mafia don now was she? He’d paid her himself. He’d given her the offer himself. She didn’t tell him she was in dire need of a job and neither did she beg him to give her a job after providing a résumé that informed him that she was a seductress. He’d chosen to hire her of his own accord didn’t he? He had to deal with it. When she saw that he was beginning to enjoy it, she moved her head back and rested her hands on the bed so she could balance well with a smile on her face.“Did you like you gift?” She asked him as she passed naughty winks to him with that smile on her face, that smile that did things to him.“I….I don’t even know “ he told her with honesty. He could have never believed that she would take such a bold step.“I don’t know? Honestly, that
With a smile on her face, she put a foot forward as she walked towards him before going to sit by him on the bed. “Why are you drooling? It’s just a lady in your room after all” she said with a wink on her face as she put her hand on his shoulder before moving her face closer to his. “Won’t you say good morning?” She asked in a voice as low as the height of a bead on the floor He pulled her by the waist closer to himself before rolling her on the bed so he was on top of her and she could feel her heart begin to race very fast. She gulped as she stared at his face, it was so close to hers and even though he’d just gotten out of bed, he still smelt so good. He tucked her wet hair behind her ear as he stared at her face with a smile. He could feel her heart race and beat so quickly and it made him feel so good. He bent and placed a soft kiss on her slightly exposed cleavage.“Trying to play miss seductress aren’t you?” He asked as he gave a side smile while his gaze didn’t break f
“Really? Are you willing to do this?“ he heard a voice ask shakily and on turning, he stared at Kathryn who was staring at him, shocked.“Kathryn I…” just as he made to move closer to her, she put her hand forward. “Please don’t, don’t come any closer to me or you might make me regret what I’ll do” she told him and made to leave when he spoke “So what do you expect me to do? Stay in the dark without any knowledge of why you put your life on the line? Without any knowledge of why my own bodyguard was willing to die for my enemy?” He asked and she turned, folding her hands against her chest.“You know what your problem is? I’ll tell you, you’re just too inquisitive. Why do you want to know? It’s my life is it not? And besides, I chose to make that decision after carefully thinking about it. Didn’t you hear the man? He was only doing so to save his mother’s life but then….”“But then what Kathryn?” He asked her as he stared at her angrily. The anger in his eyes this time around was dif
