"You don't need to go alone when I am here."
The biker spoke, making Garaine smile.
"Lucia!" Garaine grinned, as she rushed to her best friend. "How did you know that I am here?"
"Tsk," clicking her tongue, Lucia removed her helmet.
Her long brownish curls hung a bit above her waist. Adjusting her biker's jacket, she ran her long, slender fingers through her hair, brushing it backwards. She sharply glanced at the men with scepticism evident in her eyes before returning her gaze to her friend.
"The locket of the chain, which you are wearing around your neck, has a tracker on it," Lucia arched her brows, shrugging her shoulders
"Lucia?" Garaine poked her best friend's shoulder blade slowly, expecting a reply from her. "Are you still angry with me?""I am riding the bike," Lucia uttered in a cold, serious tone, making her best friend pout.Since they had left the hotel, Lucia didn't speak a single word. Half of the bike ride was silent since Lucia avoided every single word uttered by Garaine. Soon they reached Garaine Jones's residence."Hm." Lucia hummed, telling Garaine that they had reached their destination.Garaine got down from the bike. She glanced at Lucia like a guilty child looking at her mother while the latter didn't even bother to take a glance at her. Pouting, Garaine stared at her best friend,
*Flashback*The cold December night was tucked under the black night sky. The coldness reached into the bones of a person, making it impossible for them to stand outside the warm house without warm and comfy clothes. The snow seemed to grow over the windows, while the streets had very fewer people.Lucia Adams and Garaine Jones just finished their working hours at the Rainbow Fairy Home."Oh, Lucia! It's so cold," Garaine said, chattering her teeth. "I am gonna die because of this cold.""Such a little idiot you are!" Lucia playfully smiled, shaking her head. "Put your hands inside the pockets of your jacket. Don't keep them hanging at your sides."
*Continuation of Flashback* "How's it?" Lucia asked, hanging the last star-shaped small lantern. "Amazing!" Garaine smiled widely, hanging the blue crepe papers for the party. Getting down from the stool, Lucia rubbed her palms against each other, getting rid of the invisible dust. Putting her hands on her waist, she gazed at the decorations. "Finally, it looks like a party house," Garaine grinned, putting her hand around Lucia. "The kids will like the decorations for sure," the taller girl spoke, letting out a deep breath.
"Dad?" Weylin slowly opened the door, entering his father's office."Hm," Blake hummed, going through the last file. "So you are here. Take a seat."Taking a seat, the young master gazed at his father, feeling uneasy. He expected that his father would scold him or give him some punishment for sneaking out. But all he was witnessing was a calm Blake Turner."So…" Blake Turner closed the cover of the file he was checking before he gently put it on the table. "I want you to merge your business with mine.""What?" Weylin's forehead wrinkled into a frown. "I am sorry, dad. I can't. I already told you that I don't wanna inherit your business. It also indicates that I don't wanna merge my b
Leaving the room, Shadow was walking ahead of Weylin Turner. On the other hand, Weylin was deeply immersed in his thoughts. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't join the dots to make out how his father was related to The Rainbow Fairy Home."Young master, I am taking my leave," Shadow uttered, stopping in her tracks.Her words pulled him out of his thoughts."Huh?" Weylin stopped, looking at her. "Well, can you help me with something?""What is it?" The assassin asked, feeling a bit confused."Do you know how dad is related to The Rainbow Fairy Home?" Weylin asked in a low tone, confusion evident in his eyes.
The Diamond Casino, one of the most famous casinos of England, was decorated with bright lights and lavishly looking interiors, making it look like it truly deserved its name. Today the leader of The Black Panther was supposed to have a gambling match with the leader of The Devils at that particular casino. People in black suits surrounded the casino, from both inside and outside. Half part of the casino was blocked, keeping a no-entry board to keep the normal gamblers and VIPs away from the area. Since Diamond Casino was one of the famous casinos, Blake Turner couldn't stop its activities just because they were supposed to have a gambling match. So in the evening, Blake Turner's bodyguards completely blocked half of the casino, especially the VIP lot while other bodyguards still guarded the entire casino. There was gossiping and chattering all over the casino regarding the changing environment of the casino that day. "Did you see the change in the air?" "Of course, you idio
"Young Master!" Shadow exclaimed as she was pulled inside the room suddenly. "What are you doing?!""It's all because of you!" Weylin screamed, throwing the vase against the opposite wall. "Why do you have to win? Now I have to merge my business with him!""Y-young m-maste-""I hate everything related to arms dealing," Weylin huffed, glaring at the assassin. "I planned to stay away from dad's business but now I cannot just avoid it. It's all because of you!""Please calm down first!" Shadow tried to speak, unable to control the situation.Till date, she handled everything in her own way. But never ever she had to face such a situatio
Blake Turner was pacing up and down, looking as worried as ever. Before going upstairs, Shadow glanced at him, signalling him not to worry about them. But looking into the situation, he couldn't keep his mind at peace.It has been such a long time and neither Shadow nor Weylin are showing up. Blake thought, clenching his fists. Should I just go and check on the situation?Making up to check on the situation, Blake Turner was about to turn towards the door when the door suddenly opened."Weylin?" Blake was taken aback. He didn't expect his son to visit him first. "Are you alright?" He asked worriedly."Da
Garaine spent the next few weeks resting in Weylin’s bed. He didn’t want to take any risk and moved her to his room. He was so careful while taking care of her, providing the utmost love, support, and anchor to her that she left like she was some spoiled princess of some distant fantasy world. He provided everything from time to time starting from medicines to food. In his absence, his specially appointed maids took care of her. He even made time out of his busy schedule to accompany her on walks so that her recovery would speed up. His boundless dedication and great deal of care made her heart flutter, making her fall for him all over again. He even remembered what her favorite snack was and which brand she preferred. Through all the sweet loving moments, Garaine felt like something had changed in Weylin. Though he was being all lovey-dovey with her, giving her a princess treatment, she felt he was being somewhat distant. He seemed to distance himself from her after they reconci
"Divorce!?” Leysa gasped, putting her hand on her lips. “You are talking about divorce!” She turned toward her husband who was standing beside her while she was sitting on a chair. “Blake, is he really our child? Did you really inherit our genes?” Blake glanced at his wife, shaking his head at her dramatic remarks. He was at a loss of words when Lucia informed him about Weylin’s reckless decision. “Weylin, your father and I have been together for fifteen years,” Leysa stated proudly. “Never did he mention breaking up with me, or divorcing me even though I’m from a normal background. How can you think of divorcing her when she is a well-trained assassin?”Weylin didn’t say anything. His gaze was glued to the floor. A heartbroken Garaine kept taking glances at her husband, hoping that he would change his mind.Lucia was standing beside Garaine, comforting her best friend whenever she became tense while Jace stood beside Weylin. The way they were so engrossed in the serious conversatio
What’s this strong unpleasant odour? Antiseptics? Disinfectants? Where am I? Oh! I remember. I took the bullet that was meant for Mr. Turner. Seems like I’m in hospital right now. I can hear some indistinct voices. This voice. It's very familiar. Is It Mr. Turner?But what is he saying? I cannot hear it clearly. Please speak loudly. I wanna hear your voice. “Please wake up soon, Garaine. I can’t bear to see you like this. Please wake up for me.”I’m awake Mr. Turner! Mr- Wait, I can’t open my eyes. Ugh! I have to open my eyes. I want to see him. Is he crying? Why is his voice quivering? “Mr. Turner…” She croaked, blinking several times to adjust her vision. Weylin, who was holding her hand between his palms while touching it to his forehead, immediately looked up. His eyes widened as he saw her blinking at him. “Garaine, you are awake!” “Water,” she grunted.He immediately poured some water in the glass. Helping her to get up slowly, he held the rim of the glass near her lips.
Weylin’s eyes widened. “Don’t!” Weylin screamed. One of his most important principles was to never sacrifice his allies for his benefit and he couldn’t leave her to die when she had been his best friend since he rose to power as a mafia leader in the USA.“Drop your guns and let me get out of the mansion safely,” Oliver demanded shamelessly. Before he could take a step forward, cross-firing started. Taking advantage of the situation, they collected their guns and hid behind whatever furniture they found nearby. Blake along with Leysa hid behind a massive pillar.Leysa tightly hugged Blake, hiding from the gun sounds. Suddenly, a stream of memories of the incident where she lost her memories played in her mind. The situation where she lost her memories was no different from what was going on right now. She started to feel dizzy. She cupped her head, trying to soothe the head-splitting headache. A chain of events where she was separated from Blake and her child flashed in her mind. B
“Is everything alright?” Shadow asked in an utter grim tone. “Yes, master.” The reply came from the other side of the call. “Our men encircled the Davies’s mansion and we are keeping an eye on their every move from the shadows. They don’t seem to notice us.” “Good! We will be there within ten minutes,” Shadow said. “Everything should go according to the plan.”“Roger!”“What’s up?” Weylin asked, focusing on the road as he was driving. “Everything is going according to the plan,” Shadow informed. “We will just have to barge in and kidnap Madame Turner. Spider is more than prepared for this. If needed our men wouldn’t hesitate to open fire and kill Oliver Davies.”“Killing the Davies is also one of the most important tasks for today’s mission,” Weylin asserted. “If we fail to put an end to Oliver, Mirela will do it.”“I hope she wouldn't change teams at the nick of the moment,” Shadow mumbled, not trusting her enemy’s daughter even for a second. “She won’t,” Weylin replied firmly,
"Where are you, Spider?” Shadow asked, sitting opposite to Blake Turner in a luxury restaurant. “How long will it take for you to reach the said location?”“Aw…my darling, Shadow, do you miss me that much?” Spider responded from the other side of the call. “It seems like you can’t bear to wait a second more to meet me. Do you miss me that badly?”“Cut the bullshit.” Shadow rolled her eyes while Blake keenly observed her facial expressions. “Do you even know how long we are waiting here? It has been almost 2 hours.’“Aw…my baby has been waiting for that long?” Spider’s voice sounded like a teenage girl fangirling over her favourite idol. “You love me that much?”The voice from the other side of the call was so loud that Blake could hear her. He chuckled, listening to their banter. Shadow glanced at Blake who seemed to enjoy the situation. He signalled her with his eyes to answer instead of gazing at him. “My darling Spider, I swear if you spout nonsense again, I’ll make sure to bury
“What?”Garaine flinched. Subconsciously, she touched her face only to feel her mask. She heaved a sigh of relief as her cover didn’t blow. “Why are you covering your face like that?” Weylin frowned, narrowing his eyes. “Take that annoying mask off your face first. I cannot see your beautiful face.”He reached his hand out to take her mask off when she leaned back, making it impossible for him to touch her mask.“What are you doing, young master?!” Garaine exclaimed. “God! He is so out of it”. She mumbled, rolling her eyes. “I guess these drunkyards left me with no other choice.”“What are you mumbling?” Blake looked at her. “My apologies but I have to do this.” Garaine gave a sudden blow at Blake’s neck, hitting his carotid artery, knocking him unconscious. She held him by his waist to prevent him from falling on the floor and sustaining injuries. “What did you do to my father?” Weylin looked at her with horror in his eyes. “The next in the line is you.”Garaine stretched her li
"I need to distract myself.” Weylin lightly slapped his cheeks and climbed the stairs to his father’s office. It was 10 am and he planned to keep himself as busy as possible to avoid the reminiscence of the events revolving around Garaine. As he climbed a few more steps, a waft of alcohol assaulted his nose. He stopped in his tracks. “Alcohol?” Weylin frowned. “Who is drinking alcohol this early in the morning?” He quickly reached his father’s door when the scent of alcohol intensified. He gasped when the realization hit him. “Don’t tell me Father…""Father!" He opened the door with a loud bang without caring to knock. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets while his jaws slacked at the sight that was welcoming him. Blake was sitting on the floor with his head buried in his arm on the table. He was holding his wife's huge portrait with the other hand. His blazer was pitifully lying on the floor as the owner seemed to discard it hours ago. His wh
Garaine turned around only to find her husband sitting on the couch. She gulped nervously as she realized what would happen next. She tried to read her husband’s expression but since the room was dimly lit, she failed. “You are supposed to be sleeping now. Why aren’t you sleeping?” Garaine spoke, trying to mask the anxiousness on her face.“That’s not important, Garaine.” Weylin stood up and took a step forward. ”I'm not letting you off the hook today.”Weylin’s voice was cold enough to send chills down her spine. Garaine lowered her gaze as she knew she had no escape today. It's natural for a loving husband to worry for his wife and Weylin was indeed a very loving husband. He was just worried about her.She parted her lips but she just couldn’t bring herself to spill the beans about her deepest secret to her husband. Thousands of unwanted negative thoughts started to gnaw her mind. What if he starts hating me? What if he stops loving me? He actually fell for my caring side, not for
