Chapter: THE PULLElon's POV "You survived it," he corrected, still calm as ever. "There's a big difference."I pushed off the wall, and before I could get hold of myself, I was already a few inches close to him. "That's kind of funny," I said, my voice very low. "As for me, from the very point where I was standing, I can boldly tell you that I saved your entire operation with whatever I did.""Yes, I'm aware of that." He replied. There was no denial, no argument, he just agreed. And somehow, I don't know how, but that kind of made it worse. "Then, why exactly does this feeling linger that I actually did something wrong?" Well, I couldn't control the question. It came out before I had control over it. And the moment it slipped out, I regretted every words from it. And that's because it kind of exposed me, by sounding honest and too real. Fort didn't care to respond to the question immediately. He just stood there, looking at me way too long. Vetu quiet, and for sone seconds, I couldn't recognize

Chapter: DANGEROUS ATTRACTION 2Elon's POV Fort was standing vetu close to the end of the lounge, and I noticed he was speaking with one of his men. He was calm as always, calculated, a d untouchable. I could boldly describe him as the kind of man that has no business with chaos, but somehow, he owned it. My grip on the glass became tighter, very much tight that I almost shrank it like a piece of paper. "I'm not staring at him," I muttered. Dimitri didn't believe me, as he snorted under his breath. "Oh, I'm very sure you're not."I didn't mind him, instead, I took a slow sip, intentionally letting the the burn settle on my throat. Or at least, I tried doing that. Well, whatever I was planning, obviously didn't work, because, of a truth, I was actually staring. Or rather, looking at him. And to worsen it, I didn't quite understand the reason for my action. "You're kind of distracted."I heard Fort's voice behind me, low, but very sharp, startling me from my heavy thoughts. I became stiff at first, before I fina

Chapter: DANGEROUS DISTRACTIONElon's POV "I know about that.""Then, that simply means she wants something from you.""Definitely that's not new to me. Everyone obviously want something," I replied. "Yes," Fort agreed. "But have you calmed down to ask yourself what exactly she wants from you?" That was ...kind of tricky, and at the same time, a good question. My gaze moved until it landed on the room again. She was searching, scanning, and then, I saw her. For a second, I allowed it roam, even near the exit. She didn't even care to look at my side, neither did she acknowledge me. But she was still there, waiting and watching. At this point, my pulse kind of triggered, bit I held myself together. "Right there," I murmured to no one in particular. "I see her.""Don't make the mistake of approaching get," Fort warned immediately, as if he already knew what I was going to do. And of course, it was too late, and that's because something in me had already decided to make a move. "I can't sit back and be a pawn in

Chapter: THE HIDDEN MESSAGEElon's POV "Do not touch it for any reason," Fort finally said. "You don't need to tell me, because I already figured that part," I muttered. "It's better you did. Because, whatever is contained inside that drive...""... it's not just information," I finished for him. "Yeah, I didn't miss that part. I got the vibe." My eyes lazily drifted to the room, crowded with people that are laughing, dancing, a d those already drunk. Just looking at them, it was more of a battlefield. There was no sign of lives being traded like a commodity begin closed doors. "Fort," I called him slowly. "What if this happens to be one of those things? Like if turns out not to be a test?" "It's always been a test," he replied. "You just don't notice that."I tightened my grip on the glass, waiting for the opportunity to respond. "No," I said calmly. "What if it's a set up as the lady rightfully wrote?" That kind of get his attention, as I could perceive hoe his breathing changed."Explain that to me,"

Chapter: UNEXPECTED ALLY 2Lina's POV It was obvious he knew he had just gotten himself into domething very dangerous. And that only meant that he wasn't stupid. I also noticed Chen lingering longer than usual at the door. He was actually watching, thinking and calculating. Then, he turned slightly when I least expected, and our eyes met. I quickly lowered my eyes instantly, but in respect, submission and of course, routine. He was suspicious, and it passed on quickly. "That's great," Viktor muttered, but I said nothing. "Now, I can boldly tell you that he's in one of those moods." I exhaled slowly, making sure not not to trigger him. "You should keep your head down," I told him. "I always do that." He replied instead. But no, he didn't bend his down, and that was a huge problem. My gaze kind of changed, but a little, as I struggled to return it to Marcus. By the time I looked toward the direction he was standing on, he was gone. "Did you happen to see where he went to?" I asked quietly. Vikt

Chapter: The Unexpected Ally Lina's POV "You're staring again."I didn't care to look up, not even for a second. "If I ever wanted your unsolicited opinion, Viktor," I replied calmly, as I flipped a page on my tablet, "I wouldn't have wasted time to ask for it." "I've known you as someone that never seeks for second opinions," he muttered. "Exactly the point."It would interest you to note that the gala was still in full swing. From the music, to the laughter. There were fake smiles stretched on different faces. The kind that could easily hide two edged knives under their teeth. While all of that was going on, chaos still had a little space. It wasn't the loud kind, just quiet that not even a single soul noticed its presence, that only people of my kind could see. I stood motionless near the side of the ballroom, ensuring I was positioned just at the right corner to observe without making my presence obvious. Well, that was my job. I was tasked with the duty of listening, observing and remembering every sin
