The smoke was gone but the smell of it was still in the room.

I sat on the edge of Maya's bed with my arm around her, her head resting against my shoulder.

She had stopped coughing but her breathing was still uneven, catching slightly every few seconds. I kept my arm firm around her and did not move.

"Nothing is going to happen to you," I told her. "I promise."

Maya did not say anything for a moment. Then she turned her face slightly toward me. "You are shaking, mom l."

I looked down at my han

    “Who's there?” The doorbell continued to ring, but no one said a word. I stood up from the couch and moved towards the door with my brows furrowed. “Who's right there?” I demanded, but no one said a word. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the face of my team leader. He lowered his head to apologize for not saying a word and then quietly came in. “I'm so sorry for snubbing your question,” he began with as he sat down on the couch. “I had to come over to this place. We can't discuss the current update over the phone because…”“I get it.” I said, sitting across from him. “What's the recent update? Don't worry about anyone trying to eavesdrop. There is a soundproof installed in this place.”“That's great to know,” he said, and then he stood up and handed the file in his hand to me. “Please check the address written on the first document. And tell me what you think.”Chills ran down my spine as I cast one glance at his face before checking the files and bringing out the document. Why

    My hands continued to tremble as I watched from the window how the men tried to challenge Dominic and his secret security team. I pulled Maya into a warm hug, reassuring her that everything would be better. Even though she didn't believe it this time around, I had to keep whispering it to her ear. This was nothing but a phase and it would end pretty soon, not because I had the might to put an end to them immediately, but because I had belief in Dominic's capability to fulfil his promises. “Don't say one word.” I heard Dominic whisper to the team leader who stood in front of the other secret security members. The other men hovering at the doors of the car snickered before they got back in and drove off. I heard several curse words but I chose to stay emotionally unaffected by that. I rubbed my palms against each other as I gently laid Maya on the couch, pulling a strand of her hair gently as I watched the fearful expression on her face. I felt deeply sorry that I had to make her go

    As soon as Elena ended the call, I dropped my phone on the table and hurried towards the shower room. It took half an hour before I left the shower room to start my journey to her apartment. There was not much time on our side. I'd have to get there as soon as possible. “I'll be with you shortly.” I'd whispered as soon as the call ended. “Elena, do not be worried. Don't be weary. Everything's going to be fine in the end.”I heaved a deep breath as I stepped out of the shower room, cleaning up and getting dressed quickly. I stood before the mirror, combed my hair and after one last glance at the reflection of my face, I moved outside towards my car. It didn't take long to reach her apartment. It was exactly the same way it was the last time I visited her. It didn't even seem like a building under the enemy's attack. I heaved a deep sigh of relief when I heard Maya's voice inside. She must be fine indeed. I parked my car outside her house and came down quickly, hurrying up to her por

    “What just happened?” Maya couldn't hold back the question anymore. Her face was filled with a mix of confusion and curiosity. I pulled her closer to myself for a simple hug as we stood behind the door to the living room. As soon as I locked the door, I let go of her and we moved to the couch. The images of the man in all black and the good Samaritan that made the man's plans fail woefully, returned to mind as I gently sat down with my arms folded across my chest. This was getting too close than it should. The person behind this attack should have been confirmed a long time ago and stopped, because right now, it didn't seem like someone who could be stopped anymore.Whether this was Dominic's uncle or not, something really needed to be done about it. How could I be hijacked by masked people while trying to take my girl out for fun? The next time they would show up, they could decide to break into my house and no longer wait for me to step out. They seemed to be getting more impatie

    “We followed your orders.” He said, over the phone. “I instructed my men to keep an eye on Elena’s movements. They waited in the car and watched her step out of her apartment. It seemed like she was going out on a date with Maya.”“What happened?” I asked the team leader. “A black SUV stopped a few steps away from where she and Maya were.” He explained. “Someone came down from the car and started approaching them. You know, a thought crossed my mind—shouldn’t we consider moving her to a new apartment? Her current apartment is already known and attacks are becoming more frequent as a result.” “Did you save her from the near attack?” I asked, heaving a deep sigh. “Did the man reach her, grab her or Maya or do anything bad to her?” “We didn't let that happen.” He said. “I couldn't afford to wait in the car and watch him yank her hair and make her follow him to the black SUV because of a pistol.” “Did he threaten her with a pistol?”“We didn't see any weapon in his hands, but men in b

    Dawn arrived as soon as the night vanished. I rolled to the other side of the bed, my eyes fluttering open to the paintings on the wall. Slowly, I sat up in bed, cracking my knuckles. I gazed at the door and then at the walls before I regained full consciousness. “A beautiful morning.” I whispered to myself as I staggered towards the shower room. “It has to be a beautiful morning indeed.”As I stood below the shower which I had already turned on, water droplets filled the surface of my skin as the soothing flow of warm water on my skin made me close my eyes with a sigh. The figure of the person who stood in a close distance to my apartment last night came into my memory again, but I chose to stay under the shower so the thoughts would drift away. Each time a figure showed up in a distance to me, whether it tried to come close or it remained on a spot, it served as a reminder to be extra watchful for signs of quick attacks. If one of their goals was to scare me off, they were truly

    The car was gone but the feeling it left behind was not.I stood by the door with my arms crossed and my eyes on the street below through the window and I turned it over. The way it had pulled away. Unhurried, indicator on at the corner, no attempt to accelerate or disappear quickly. Just a smoot

    Sleep would not come.I had tried. I had sat in the chair beside Maya's bed with my eyes closed and my hands in my lap and waited for my body to give in. It did not. Every time the flat settled or the street outside made a sound, something in me snapped back to attention and the tiredness retreat

    I did the full circuit twice.Ground floor entrance, stairwell, the corridor on Elena's floor, the fire exit at the back of the building. I checked each one, tested each door, looked at each angle. Then I went back to the start and did it again. Not because I had missed anything the first time but

    The flat was dark except for the lamp in the corner.I preferred it that way. Too much light made people restless, made them feel like they needed to be doing something. The dark kept things quiet and the mind clear.I was sitting at the small table by the wall with a glass of water in front of me,
