“What’s up with you lately? I noticed you’ve started drinking recently. Even if you’ve gotten into some problems, I’m here for you. We can deal with it together,” Fletcher said. He actually did not know what Quill was going through. They had spent less time together recently and were growing apart. It became difficult for him to understand his twin. “I just feel isolated lately. Isaak’s death should be an alarm for us because we are the same and probably worth the same.” Quill knew his value. He believed the same thing might happen to him. If Lyra sent him on a dangerous mission, he must obey and never resist. There were times when he believed he should focus more on himself and be more selfish, or else he would die during missions. “What changed? You were never like this before,” Fletcher asked. He had seen his twin going through some unstable emotional changes lately. They used to go on dangerous missions, never feeling beaten or threatened. They always had the conf

“We don’t need cleaning in the operations room. You can go elsewhere.” The security guards in front of the monitors dismissed Mark, telling him to leave. “But my chief said I must clean here,” he answered with an honest smile. The security guards inside were baffled, but they did not suspect anything because of his honest look. One of the guards got up and opened the door. “We’ll clean the room ourselves. You are not needed here. Go clean somewhere else.” When the door opened, Mark was able to see there were only two men inside the room, which assured him. He quickly and quietly took out the security guard in front of him, dragged him inside before locking the door. The other security guard did not even notice the commotion behind him. He felt strange about the sudden silence, though. When he turned around, a pair of strong hands landed on his shoulder. Everything blacked out for him in the next second. Mark sat down and quickly inserted his thumb drive into the c

It all happened too quickly. All Wade saw was a flash from the dagger and the movement of the killer. There was nothing he could do in time to save Cassey. X, on the other hand, reacted quickly by grabbing Cassey by the chair, pulling him away from the lunge. Cassey himself could not react in time either. He felt a powerful tug back and then a chilly sensation at his neck. When he held his neck, he realized it was already bleeding with a shallow cut on it. He had been a few millimeters away from death, and it shocked him. He widened his eyes at the cleaner who had tried to kill him. “Who the hell are you?!” Cassey shouted. He tried to get up, but X dragged him to the corner to protect him. “I’m here to take your life.” Mark knew he must take out the other two men first before going after Cassey. Just now was a great opportunity, but he missed it. Though he was frustrated that his slash missed, he had done his best. Shocked, Wade quickly retreated. He did not expec

“I was away for two days and so many things piled up,” Darcy said with a sigh. She could handle the work easily, but the number of documents was staggering. “If you need to rest, I can go through them and then assign the task to the others. You can just have a look at them when they are done,” Luca said, offering help. “It’s fine. It’s going to take even longer if we do that,” Darcy said with a sigh. She did not seem to be in a working mood. “Ma’am, you didn’t rest well?” Luca felt bad for her boss. Darcy did not look like herself. In fact, she looked slightly slimmer. “I’m okay. I just haven’t eaten much recently.” She looked at the cake that Luca had brought her and suddenly felt hungry. She rarely had cake in the past as it was high in calories and sugar. Even if she had to, she would just take a bite. After being locked up for days in the basement, she finally knew the value of food. She craved more calories after experiencing the horror. She picked up the l

“If I don’t get to the bottom of this, this will happen again. I don’t want to be abducted again or tortured.” Darcy thought of Lyra, the woman who took her. Lyra was beautiful, but her eyes were frosty. She would have no problem taking another’s life. A person like her must have been someone of great power, which gave her the authority and confidence to look down on other people's lives. Darcy knew she must stay away from people like her. She also knew that Edmund was a member of the Viper’s Den and was second in charge, which basically gave him all the authority to command the organization. She learned all that from her mother. Agnes loved to visit the salon when she was free and got information from other ladies who were frequent patrons of the establishment. It was then that Darcy understood just how strong Edmund's position was in Westeros; he was essentially the one who controlled the city's economy. “I believe someone is trying to get to Edmund or find out who
