REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN GHOSTS DON'T DRIVE
LUCIAN I covered my ears. We were far enough from the blast, yet the impact still reached us. A sharp ringing filled my ears, growing louder by the second. I kept pressing my palms against them, trying to get it under control.I got into the car, and we drove away from the scene.The bodyguard was still lying where we'd left him, groaning in pain. Before we left, I ordered my men to loosen the restraints around him. His brother would deal with the consequences of his own choices. Someone else would handle the rest. I loosened my tie, exposing my collarbone. Sweat clung to my shirt. This was the second shirt I'd soaked through today, and I hadn't brought another one. The ringing slowly turned into a pounding headache. "Drive me to the hospital," I instructed the driver. l'd been warned years ago not to get too close to explosions or ignore prolonged ringing afterward. I grabbed a bottle of water, took a few long drinks, then poured some over my face. It cooled me down, but the heada
REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN THE LAST COUNTDOWN
LUCIAN I walked into the hotel lobby with my bodyguards. The man I'm meeting today is one of my strongest competitors. He's had his eyes on my companies for a long time. Violence was always a possibility."Stay with Miss Morgan," I ordered one of the bodyguards. He turned around and returned to her.According to my sources, a well-known mafia leader named Pierre had been seen with the man I'm meeting today. Did he really think propaganda alone would lure me here? My network reaches farther than he thinks."Make sure this place is private enough," I told the new bodyguard.I spoke clearly enough for everyone nearby to hear, but never louder than my usual tone. They could have planted bugs in the hotel. If they believed I was worried about my words getting out, I'd let them believe it.I was led into the private section. A glass of wine was placed in front of me. I put on my earpods and connected to Brooke, my favorite cousin. Becoming a hacker had always been her dream, and she was on
REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN PUT YOUR ENEMIES IN A RING
This couldn't be Thor retaliating. He definitely needs Lucian alive if he's risking positioning me inside his company. I still know he knows something. The sun had already set, and the streetlights were beginning to come on one after another. I didn't have much time left to sort things out.I walked down the sidewalk, acting nonchalant toward the bodyguard and chauffeur. The car followed me slowly. The chauffeur rolled down the window to speak to me, but I turned away."Don't say a thing unless it's good news."The car stopped. The bodyguard got out and grabbed my hand. "Ma'am, it's getting late." He held me firmly enough to stop me, but not enough to bruise my wrist."I'm waiting for someone. I have somewhere to be." I forced his grip loose and took two steps forward. Then I stopped, turned back, and opened the car door. Yes. He might have left something behind while I was busy getting distracted.I searched through the car, checking the seat pockets, beneath the armrest, and under t

Gianne "He can't be in there, right?" I screamed, slamming my hands weakly against the seat as I stared into the distance. The hotel was no longer in sight."The boss will be fine, ma'am. Just sit down." He held me in place, trying to calm me down, but I didn't believe him, even if I wanted to.I clutched the seat harder. I don't like getting to know people and losing them. I already lost my father, and I still feel tortured every day by the thought that I can never see him again."Let's go to the airport," the bodyguard ordered, glancing at his cellular device. No, I'm not going anywhere with people I don't know. Not without Lucian.I grabbed my phone and called his line. It was switched off. He never switches his devices off. Unless it was blown up."Go to the airport only if Mr. Blackwood is there. Otherwise, go to wherever he is," I barked at the chauffeur. He looked at us through the rearview mirror, trying to decide who to obey."To the airport, please," the bodyguard repeated,
REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN PINNED MEMORY
Gianne I closed my eyes, pushing the thoughts away. I felt like I was in a void for a minute until I couldn't control my neck anymore and my head hit his shoulder lightly. My eyes opened halfway, cheeks flushed red from embarrassment as I planned my apology, but he held my head right in position so I could rest properly on his shoulder. The seat moved back a bit as I leaned against him. I closed my eyes again, planning to pretend I was still sleeping for just a few minutes. I kept at it for a few minutes until I lost track of time, when I opened my eyes again, they felt swollen. And my arms... They were around his neck. Holy s*** What did I do? I jumped up. Even he was asleep, I had startled him. His green eyes opened and he stared into my soul, the car hadn't moved. I double-tapped my phone screen to check the time, It's been over an hour. I've been sleeping in that position for over an hour, i covered my eyes in shame. I must have thought he was my teddy bear, a very ex
REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN FOR SECURITY REASONS
GianneWe entered the departmental store, I stared at his back. The way he strides like a predator, I just know he couldn't trust me enough not to check me. Lucian is always on to something.The departmental store is bigger than the other ones I've seen. Amazing security products too. "How much is that camera?" I asked a staff member."It's our 2022 premium surveillance model. It has ultra-high resolution and can clearly identify subjects from up to 150 meters away with optical zoom. You can get it for seven hundred and fifty dollars.""Seven hundred and fifty dollars? What about a shocker? Something that can be easily disguised?" I asked."Do you have a stalker?" Lucian Blackwood asked.I didn't know he had been standing that close at all. "No. Not really, just for security reasons," I explained.He picked up the camera, turning it lightly as if that would reveal all its components. He placed it back on the shelf. "Go to the police if you have security concerns. I don't want you gett

Thor picked up on the first ring. Like he had been waiting for me long before I made the decision to place it.“Gianne,” he said. “Didn’t think you’d call again.” There wasn't a hint of surprise in his tone.I stayed seated on the edge of the bed, phone pressed against my ear, while Mia remained ac

“You’re fired.”The words landed so suddenly that for a second I thought I had heard wrong.I stared at my boss across the office desk, waiting for something else to follow. A correction or explanation, nothing came.“Sir…” My voice came out weaker than I wanted it to. “Please, I can explain everyt

I got home drained, today’s events still playing in my head. “Thor hasn’t replied to my message yet.” It felt wrong, like something sitting too still. Director Kade’s words kept looping in my head, he had told me to do research on the interviewers.I sat in front of my laptop and forced myself into
REWRITTEN AS THE VILLAIN THE WRONG CANDIDATE
I sat in the waiting area with the other applicants but gave myself space away from them. A woman in her late forties came toward us. She was one of the interviewers. Her gaze briefly locked with mine before she called the next batch of applicants.I grabbed my identity card and held the bottom edg
