"One day Eden. I'll tell you one day hmm?" Malakai said and Eden nodded. Malakai was in awe. Eden’s eyes were so innocent, but she was the opposite. She had fire in her veins and embers in her eyes. She looked like she wouldn't hurt a fly but oh how wrong that was. She didn't strike anyone as a criminal, a serial killer. Maybe that's what made her so good at it. Part of Kai feels bad that he created a killer from an innocent angel. But another part of him was glad. This is who Eden was now and they both liked it. Besides, don't get me started on her name. Eden. It’s a garden in paradise. It's ironic that her name resembles paradise, but her actions will probably send her to hell. Her name was perfect for her. Eden liked not being afraid anymore. In turn, people were now afraid of her instead. She wasn't scared and that made her feel more powerful. In control of herself. She was living breathing proof that a girl was just as deadly as anyone else. "What do you say about us g
"W-what?" Eden's heart dropped. It couldn't be. Surly. She ran to find Malakai and once she found him, she stood right in front of him to block his view. "Eleanor Park? Are you sure? Show me the picture." Eden said in a rush, Malakai was confused what got into her suddenly. "What's wrong?" He asked and Eden took a deep breath. "I've known Elanore since high school. She doesn't go to the same university, but I was friends with her in high school. I knew she got married but... I'm sorry Kai. I can't do it." That angered him. This is why emotions are overrated. "There's no room for feelings in this profession Eden. You either kill her or I do. I told you; I don't care what they do but when I have clients and orders, I make sure I do them. This means you follow my orders." Malakai said in a grave voice, but Eden was determined, and she stopped being scared a long time ago. "No, the fuck I won't. She's a good person." Eden wasn't backing down and Malakai let out a humourless la
Malakai on the other hand was raging but he hid it so well. How can Eden just disobey him like that? This whole job was based on orders. He'll admit, Eden was the only one who would do something like this. Even Alec follows his orders, no questions asked. He wouldn't ever think of disobeying Kai. But Eden just had to be different. Eden was quite different from when Malakai first met her, she'd changed, maybe for the better since there was no more nice, innocent Eden who hated how vulnerable and weak she was. Now she was strong, confident, powerful and not so scared. For that reason, Malakai didn't regret making her into what she was, until now when Eden disobeyed him. He couldn't care less about the client; it was about orders. If orders weren't followed, it would be an issue in the future. It's happened before. He had an agent who didn't follow orders and soon went rogue, also trying to kill Malakai but he was the one who died instead. Which is why he needed to make sure everythi
Malakai put his phone down after speaking to Eden who did exactly what Malakai thought he would. Malakai sent over a cleaning crew and sat down on his seat in the office. One day. Eden had annoyed him so much in the space of one day. The whole thing with Jisoo, going against his orders, taking his gun and now this. Killing the CEO of Kang Ind. Could Eden do any worse. She probably could, Malakai won't underestimate her but he could only pray that Eden would behave. It's been an hour since he's sent the cleaning crew and Eden never showed up. He looked to his right and saw the drawer that Eden broke into. He was quite impressed at how easily she did it. But then he looked carefully and his gaze landed on the floor. The earring Eden used. She must have dropped it, too concentrated on the gun. Malakai picked it up and looked at the back of it closely. It wasn't an ordinary earring, it had a knife-like back, like a hidden weapon. Cleaver. That's why Eden got in so easily. Malakai coul
She walked over to him and put a hand on Malakai's shoulder and gave him a silent 'it'll be okay' and Malakai nodded. "Can I take your gun again?" Eden asked to change the subject, but she really did want it. Malakai turned and furrowed his eyebrows. "No." He simply said and Eden pouted. "Maybe." Malakai then said once he saw the look on Eden's face and gave in. Eden's eyes lit up at the response. "I promise It'll be fine. I killed Kang with it, and it was such a perfect shot. So smooth a quick. I loved it." Malakai smiled seeing Eden talk about his gun like a kid who got a new toy. "Stop looking at me like that." Eden suddenly said. "Like what?" Malakai asked, confused. "Like you're showing emotion." Malakai raised an eyebrow and shook his head at the blond before sitting back down to do some work. But that was near impossible with Eden. "What are you doing?" Eden asked when she came round to Malakai and looked at his laptop. "Work. Which is also what you're supposed to be d
Like Eden said. It was easier said than done. A lot easier. It's been a week, Eden had been on a few missions and as always, she had to report back to Malakai. Malakai hadn't tried or done anything since that day but he still had that look in his eyes that Eden tried so hard to ignore. Normally you'd be scared shitless looking into eyes that held nothing but a black, empty, endless abyss. But Eden? Yeah, she'd see the abyss, but she would also see lust. Desire. And that's what scared her. Trust her, she would love to give in. But she knows Malakai wouldn't. He doesn't do feelings. Love. Relationship. Emotions. All he would want is a good fuck no strings attached. Eden wanted more. And so, she wasn't going to give in and allow herself to be hurt. Right now, she was in university for a lecture, exams were over, but professors had already started on the next and final year projects and topics. It was a little annoying since Eden felt like she deserved a break. But nope, and she could
"What the hell do you do all day?" Eden asked and Malakai looked up. "Work." He replied and Eden so badly wanted to roll her eyes, but had a feeling Malakai would call her out for it. "What if I took your laptop off you?" Eden challenged and Malakai sat back. "You wouldn't get very far before I throw a dagger at your neck." Malakai said with a glare. "Try me." Eden knew saying that was probably a mistake but whatever. She went over to Malakai and showed him the news, he didn't have time to take a picture but it was all over the news anyway "You really won't tell me what she did?" Eden said and Malakai's glare hardened. "You know the rules, Eden." He said and Eden sighed with a fake smile. "I know, don't ask questions. I just thought you would at least tell me." Eden said quietly and Malakai gave her a confused look. "Why would I do that?" Malakai said and Eden felt so frustrated. And sad. She thought she meant something to Malakai. How naive she was. "Never mind. See
"I want your gun." Eden immediately said when she walked in. "No." Malakai said with zero hesitation. He was sharpening his knife like a true psychopath. "You said I could. Just for one or two jobs. Please. Give me your gun." She repeated with a pout and Malakai looked up at her. "Which one?" He smirked and Eden blushed a hundred shades of red. "Fuck you. I want your gun." Eden said, flipping the ravenette off. "Again, which one." Malakai said again and continued with his knife. "I'll get it myself then." Eden walked over to the same drawer to find it locked again. She was about to remove her earring until Malakai spoke. "The keys are right in front of you." Malakai said and Eden let out a little 'oh' before getting them and unlocking the drawer. And there it was. Honestly, why did Malakai keep it hidden, if it was Eden's, she would use it every chance she got. "Happy?" Malakai asked and Eden nodded her head like a child getting a cookie. "Very." Malakai shook his he
