Wrong Room, Wrong Maid

ETHAN COLE Dead silence.My footsteps echoed as I walked through the hallway. My mind had only one goal — to find vital information on Duval's arms technology. If anyplace, it should be in his room. The heaviness of my breathing seemed normal under these circumstances,and while Ava dozed like a child, I was here trying to infiltrate her father's room. No one ever went there, which of course looked suspicious, and calculating how long I had stayed here, it was obvious he hid something there. I stood behind the door that divided me from the room. Slapping on my gloves, I turned the knob, pushing the door open. A small chuckle escaped my lips. “It's a good thing, this place doesn't have a camera.” To be careful, I had slipped on a mask, one belonging to one of their enemies. A mansion this large having no cameras or night guards should've been suspicious. It was far from perplexing. It was as though the system was intended. When I stepped in, I took in the room, the woody

Roses have Thorns

AVA DUVAL His gaze was intense, his focus almost like a hawk. Every shot tore through the air hitting straight into the heart of the dummies. Sweat rolled down his jaw as he fired another shot. The black vest clung to his frame, every movement of his arms stretching muscle beneath sunlit skin.His breathing was deep, and each time he gasped for air, my stomach flipped.Fucking bastard. How could he look so majestic when shooting literal dummies? Ethan's fingers ran through his hair, his veins stretched out over his hands. I wanted those hands to grip me… .Suddenly, a rush of excitement filled my mind, and the pounding of my heart grew louder. This was fun. The gun powder lingering in the air, the way the bullet broke through space, scattering the dummies. I jerked up, standing to my feet with so much enthusiasm A sudden burst of confidence shot through me as I trot towards him. Ethan turned his head to look at me, gun mid air. His lips tugged into a smug grin. His fingers cu

Lights Out

AVA DUVAL The rain slapped against the window pane, the wind ferociously carrying the rain in a frenzied manner. I walked into the kitchen, a thick nightgown draped down to my legs. My flip flops were furry, but not enough to shelter my legs from the cold. “It's raining cats and dogs outside. I wonder where Ethan is?” I asked rhetorically. I hadn't seen a speck of him since the day began, and although his scent lingered around the house as though he were there. I had spent a few months with him to observe that his scent always stayed whether he was present or not.I groaned, stretching my arms. Walking to the fridge, I pulled out a jug of Straus family creamery milk. Pouring it into an empty glass, I downed it in one go.Who cared where he was? He could protect himself for all it's worth.Just as I downed the second glass, the light in the kitchen flickered, then out of nowhere, the lights went out. My brows creased in confusion, I waited for the lights to come back on… maybe

Nightmares Happen at Night

ETHAN COLE The woods stretched, darkness overshadowing the little light from the moon. I stood in the middle of an isolated place. A strange sense of déjà vu washed over me.My hands were bloody, and my clothes clung to my skin, dripping a thick liquid. I stared around in confusion, my eyes wide in horror. Then I spotted someone. A woman. Winnie. Her eyes were burst, and blood poured from her throat. I stepped back unable to speak. Almost tripping on something, I jerked forward, looking down at the thing — another person. No… I didn't do this.I couldn't. My teammates all lay dead, blood gushing from their necks. Blood suddenly erupted from Lily's throat, splattering across my face. I moved back in a total confusion.Did I do this to my teammates?Am I a monster? Suddenly they all pointed their fingers at me.“If only you didn't take VAR's offer…” they chanted.My body froze. I could hear my heartbeat pounding loud in my ears. Heat spread through my entire body, hot flashe

Out In The Cold

ETHAN COLEMemories were a funny thing. The good ones only came when someone you cherished died or is far from home…But the worst ones… it was a daily occurrence, running through your head like it was just yesterday. The academy always punished deviants accordingly. They had rules that ranged from minor punishments to extreme ones. Thomas and Clark did fight once, and they were sent to clean the training grounds for the month. Maybe that's what I thought I'd get when Wilhelmina was getting on my nerves and I hit her. She struck back, sinking her devil-blessed teeth into my skin. Due to the searing pain spreading through my body, I grabbed her by the hair and threw her towards the hot coal from the grilling pan. She arched her back writhing in pain, as some of the coal touched her neck. Before it turned into a full-blown fight, our academy teacher, Serena, trotted in. Her blonde hair flowed down her back, and her pink suit stood out amidst the crowd of gravely dressed pe

Memories are Complicated

ETHAN COLE Memories were stupid, and clinging to them only brought more pain. Too many complicated emotions. I abhorred emotions. It made one wonder who they actually were or why they did things. I rose to my feet, working with the buttons of my shirt, it slipped to the floor. Walking to the standing mirror, I stared at my reflection, the scars on my body weren't much — most of my injuries were miscalculations which barely happened. My trousers followed next, the fine material slid down my legs. My fingers traced the rose tattoo of my neck. I shut my eyes, blocking the memories from coming. It didn't matter now. As I turned to walk naked into the bathroom, a soft knock came from the door. It opened slightly, revealing a barely clothed Ava. She had changed her nightwear to something thinner, the straps made no effort to shield her breasts.“Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting something,” she smiled, walking in, and kicking the door shut.When did she become this wild? Kicking t

Love and Obligations

ETHAN COLE My body sunk into the soft sheets as I stared at the desk where the document sat. After I took the document from the secret room, I hadn't opened it. The Duval stamp lay on the front cover together with the word, confidential. This was going to tell me all about VAR — maybe not all, but some part of it. Either way it would help me to understand things I didn't know. Like how easily the organization covered up its crimes, and how no one knew how deep the business ran. I inched closer, then without waiting, my hand swiped the document off the desk. The pungent smell of old paper filled the air causing me to sneeze. “Fuck, this better be worth my time,” I muttered, adjusting to the foreign smell. When I scanned through the document, page after page, my eyes widened with each new discovery. The feeling of ennui clouded my mind, and it felt like a heavy burden had been placed on me. Their crimes were enormous. Most times, they did things without reason. VAR nev

Two Truths and a Lie

ETHAN COLE The night breeze brushed past my face as Ava stepped into the water. The line that ran down her back somehow made my stomach flip. I looked away, trying to keep my sanity. My conflicting mind couldn't let me enjoy the zephyr, as it questioned my past and future actions. That little voice in my head never judged me for the people I'd murdered.I wish it did — it would've been easier to ignore. ‘You love her if you wish she wasn't Duval.’‘Your ear grows warm anytime she calls your name… You can hear your own heartbeat race, just by catching a glimpse of her presence…’I sighed heavily forcing those thoughts out. I hated that she clouded my mind. That each moment, a whiff of her scent caught my nose, my chest tugged, and my fingers itched to hold her. Disgusting.These feelings weren't normal. I stepped into the water, the coolness seeping slowly into my skin. Love?If Ava was right about her definition of love, then I was sure what I had for her wasn't love. It was

Two Truths and a Lie II

AVA DUVAL Wrapped around a blanket with a cup of chocolate in hand, this was the best time to get answers to some questions I had been meaning to ask. Ethan sat beside me, his eyes observing my every move. He cocked his head to the side, raising a brow in curiosity. “Two truths and a lie?” He asked. I shrugged. “It's just some stupid game where we ask each other questions and one of them must be a lie. You don't have to tell me if it's the truth or a lie, that's left for us to guess on our own,” I explained. He nodded in understanding. “You should go first,” he said. I placed the cup on the floor beside the bed. I pushed the bile that was stuck in my throat, and summoning up the courage, I asked my first question. “The man who saved me before I hired a bodyguard... was that you? The attack that aired on the news.” I really wanted to know. The both men sounded almost alike, and although I had known my saviour for only a few minutes, he seemed calculated yet reckless. Jus

Knowing More About You

AVA DUVAL I could hear my own heartbeat, and as Ethan inched closer to me, I took in a sharp breath a bit too quickly, almost choking. What was wrong with me? Our noses touched, and as cowardly as I was, my head turned away from him. Sometimes I regretted taking him as my bodyguard and this — this was part of the reason.“Is that why you like staring at me? To ease the tension bottled up in you?” Clearing my throat, I turned to him with a straight face, praying… hoping I wouldn't falter. “There is no tension to ease.” Silence dragged for a while. The clock ticked and the leaves fluttered. The curtain swayed, fresh air washing my face.“What if I told you I was that man, would it ease your worries?”His words took me by surprise. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. This was it! He was mocking me, probably aching to see my shocked expression. My lips bent into a frown.“Cut it out, Nikolai, you already said you weren't the one.” The man who saved me co
