"If you two are done with whatever that was, I’d prefer not to stand in the middle of it."

Ezekiel’s voice remained calm, but his eyes flickered briefly between them, catching that subtle shift, the one Zachary tried to hide and Leon didn’t bother to conceal.

Not his company?

The thought slipped into his mind before he could stop it, sharp and annoyingly persistent.

If not him, then what exactly was that just now, and if Zachary wasn’t claiming anything, then who was supposed to take

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    YOU DON'T BELONG AMONG US

    ∆NO POV∆"I'm really getting tired of this," Sorin muttered as he slowly scanned the bodies, his sharp eyes taking in the clean, precise wounds and the unnatural stillness surrounding them. He let out a quiet sigh before looking at Zachary. "Couldn't you leave at least one of them conscious? Interrogating the living is a lot easier than trying to squeeze answers out of the dead… When are you going to understand this Zachary?” Zachary casually pointed toward the edge of the clearing, where the lone survivor was slumped against a splintered tree trunk, his chest rising and falling in weak, uneven breaths as if he was fighting too hard to hold that life of his which was too eager to leave him."Stop complaining," Zachary said with a faint shrug. "I was feeling generous tonight…. So, go do whatever you want with that so-called survivor.” The irony in his voice was so effortless that it drew a quiet snort from Sorin.The guards wasted no time dragging the barely conscious assassin forwa

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    A ONE-MAN MASSACRE

    "That's all?" Zachary asked with a sigh, his voice cutting through the oppressive silence with quiet disappointment rather than surprise. A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he glanced around before adding, "Maybe it's my fault for expecting too much from weaklings…. When will they even learn to stop?” His words lingered in the cold night air as he stood motionless at the center of the abandoned clearing, the pale moonlight filtering through the broken branches above and casting long shadows around him.The aftermath stretched in every direction, leaving little room for doubt. This hadn't been a fight between two sides; it had been a one-man massacre from beginning to end.Blood stained the dirt beneath them, broken weapons lay abandoned where they had fallen, and the silence that followed spoke far louder than the fight itself ever could.Expensive cars lay mangled along the winding private road, their once-pristine frames twisted into heaps of crumpled metal and shatt

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    YOU HAVE NO MUCH TIME LEFT

    ∆NO POV∆"You've got quite the mouth for someone who's about to end up in a hospital."The tallest among them let out a mocking laugh before cracking his neck. Ezekiel tilted his head thoughtfully. "I've already visited one today."The man frowned."Someone I love so much is admitted there."After a deep silence, Ezekiel sighed dramatically."I'd really rather not make myself a patient too. The food is terrible.... I'm a foodie and I can't bring myself to eat that."One of the thugs couldn't stop himself from snorting.The tallest man immediately shot him a glare. "What's so funny?""He..." The thug tried to hold back another laugh. "He said the hospital food..." "Shut up! Are you here to laugh or get rid of him for our boss?" Ezekiel clicked his tongue."See? I was trying to lighten the mood. Violence is such a terrible way to meet new people... I've been trained for years, a fight is nothing to me, why waste time on fighting with a professional when we can get to know each other

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    MAYBE A COINCIDENCE

    ∆NO POV∆"Looks like we've done everything we can."Ryan's voice broke the silence as he pressed the final key on the keyboard before leaning back in his chair. The loading bar disappeared from the monitor, replaced by a notification confirming that the classified report had been successfully uploaded into the agency's secured database.Ezekiel walked around the desk and stopped beside him, his attention fixed on the monitor."Show me the access permissions."Ryan clicked through several security windows before opening the authorization log. Five names appeared on the screen, exactly as they had discussed earlier."My access, your access, the archive officer, the deputy operations director, and the intelligence analyst assigned to Raymond's case. No one else can even see that the file exists."Ezekiel carefully read every name once again before nodding in satisfaction."Good." Ryan glanced sideways at him and smiled faintly. "You've checked that list four times already.""I'll check

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    YOU DIDN'T LET ME FINISH

    ∆NO POV∆"Ryan... do you trust everyone working in this agency?"Ezekiel asked while walking straight into the room, Ryan slowly looked up from the stack of files lying across his desk, the pen between his fingers coming to a halt as surprise flickered across his face.He had expected Ezekiel to walk into his office, but he hadn't expected him to begin with a question like that.For several seconds, he simply stared at Ezekiel before leaning back in his chair."Good afternoon to you too," Ryan said with a faint chuckle. "I didn't even get a greeting before being interrogated... Well, I'm not offended!" Ezekiel closed the office door behind him. "I'm serious and I've no time for greetings or anything else, just straight to the point, since we need to finish it off before it is too late...." Ryan's smile faded almost instantly, he had known Ezekiel for years, whenever Ezekiel wore that expression, it usually meant something had gone terribly wrong and it's time to pay more attention t

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    FIGURE IT OUT

    "Are you going to keep staring at that coffee, or are you actually going to drink it?"The familiar voice pulled Ezekiel from his thoughts as he stood beside the hospital vending machine, a paper cup cooling between his hands.He glanced up to find one of the nurses smiling at him knowingly."I wasn't aware I was being noticed," he replied with a faint smile.The nurse laughed softly before shaking her head."You and your sister, both are the same. Despite being tired and exhausted, always have a smile on your faces, it's a kind of smile that can enlighten anyone's day." Ezekiel lowered his gaze to the untouched coffee, if only his worries began and ended with hospital visits."It became a routine to me," he said quietly. "And, I'm fine!" The nurse looked unconvinced but decided not to argue. After a brief farewell, she disappeared down the hallway, leaving Ezekiel alone once more.The smile vanished from his face almost immediately.His grip tightened around the paper cup as his ga

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"If I ask you out properly this time… will you still run away?"For several seconds, I simply stared at him in silence.The question itself sounded strangely soft coming from someone like Zachary. Not arrogant or teasing. Just careful and almost uncertain. Which honestly felt far more

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"You're nothing but a fool.... Is this the time to think about all those?" The words left my mouth harsher than intended while I pressed both hands tightly against Zachary’s injured side, trying unsuccessfully to stop the blood soaking through his black shirt.The smell of blood fill

    ∆NO POV∆"So you're the weakness… to a monster like him. Interesting." The voice drifted softly through the darkness of the bedroom, cold, smooth, and utterly wrong.Ezekiel stirred faintly beneath the blankets before slowly opening his eyes. For several seconds, his mind remained trapped somewhe

    ••NO POV••"Ezekiel… wake up."The quiet voice slowly pulled him out of restless darkness.For one horrifying second, Ezekiel’s body reacted before his mind could catch up. His eyes flew open violently while his breathing turned sharp and uneven. He jerked backward instinctively against the bed, p
