“You're not safe here.” Worry clothes her voice. The urgency of the situation presses down on her.

“It's nothing to worry about.” Even he doesn't believe himself.

“Yeah.” Electra nods. “That’s very comforting.”

Nikas doesn't miss her sarcasm.

“There are guards here, Electra.”

“And there were no guards when this happened?” She fires back.

“When do I get to see your boyfriend?”

“Don't. Don't do that.”

He titters. They both know what he's doing. “You're hiding him from me now?”

She glares at him. His eyes twinkle with mischief and amusement. They keep at it. She sighs resignedly. He wins.

“I hate it when you do that.” She says.

“You're cute when you do that.” He returns.

She smiles and shakes her head. She'll let it go. Only for now.

“Paul let me use his bike while he's out of town.” She beams excitedly, following his switch in discussion.

“Oh!” Nikas smiles. His sister loves to ride just as much as he does. “How long would he be gone for?”

Electra shrugs. “He didn't say. He just told m

    “Place your phone, keys and any metal you have on you here.” The officer slides a metal tray over to Electra. This is the last security check Electra has to go through before she can enter the prison.She does as she is told, going as far as removing her pant belt, placing it in the tray before she steps through the metal detector. This is a routine she’s used to. She gains an entry pass when the machine makes no noise. The officer nods for her to go on.She walks into the state prison, her heart beating fast against her chest. This isn’t her first time here. She comes here every other week when she can get away from her father. Living with Anders eliminates the eagle eyes of her father watching her every move. But it doesn’t eliminate the racing in her heart; not the heaviness she feels whenever she comes here; not the memories of her life. Her hard life without her brother. Her shield.She stills herself and forces a smile over her face as she catches sight of him. Another officer

    Ander strolls into his office. He places his briefcase on his desk and collapses onto his seat. The morning has been quite exhausting with Electra leaving him to clean up after her. He had to restore his kitchen to the way it had been. The woman knows how to play his strings.He has barely settled in when he hears a soft knock on his door. His secretary, Julia, enters. She says her greetings and places some files in front of Anders.Just as she parts her lips to begin speaking, his phone chimes. He raises a finger to silence her and takes the call.“Granny.” A smile forms on his lips. His voice is warm and tender. His smile lingers as he exchanges more pleasantries with Laurel. They talk about her health and other things.Then Anders goes silent. His brows knit with attention and slowly, a scowl forms over his expression.“When?” He asks, trying to keep the irk out of his voice. “Okay. I'll let her know.” He says, and the call ends.He turns his attention to Julia again. Anders sits

    Anders jogs down the sidewalk towards his house. Perspiration covers his skin- a testament to the energy expended during his run. This is routine. Going for a run in the wee hours of the morning. It is his way of having the right start to his day. From his vantage point, he has a clear view of his apartment. It is a beautiful house, a modern design with unique architectural structure, and that's why he had purchased the property. He reaches his front porch in no time.Still panting from his run, he checks his smartwatch and smiles to himself at the accomplishment. He did half a mile more than yesterday’s run. He checks the time; 7am. Just in time. Today can’t start any better. But that soon changes as he steps inside the house. His breath catches, not from his run but from the fear that immediately fills him.There is smoke everywhere. His only rational explanation; Fire!His house is burning!He doubles his pace, runs inside the house in panic. Electra! His mind hits him with the

    Electra bites her tongue all through the list of rules Anders dishes. Don't go here, don't do this, don't touch that. He even goes as far as giving her a curfew. She excuses him as this is his house. He can do however he pleases. At least that’s what her father used to say. But the next rule is a stab she can't ignore.“You'll cook the meals…”“Cook what meals?” She cuts him. “You want me to cook for you?” Electra yelps. Anders cocks his brow at her, wondering what he may have said wrong.She huffs out a breath. “You should have outrightly told me you wanted a maid.”“If you choose to adopt that title, I can't stop you. As long as you're happy, pumpkin.”She hisses and grounds her teeth. “You’re out to make my living here hell for me, aren’t you?”“You threatened to fuck this up and let me watch my granny…” He doesn't finish.Shock registers over Electra's face. He did the same thing to her. “So this is payback? Your way of punishing me?”“No. I'm not that petty.” Anders smiles. “Co

    Orion stands by the door to Anders’ house, ready to bolt if Anders comes at him again. He holds the handle, an apologetic look sits on his face.“I didn't know Maria would take me seriously and tell everyone about it.” He explains.“Maria is a gossip. You should know better than to tell her anything. I mean anything!” Anders grits.Now he knows the source of the rumors. Orion had playfully told the office gossip that Anders was taking things seriously with Electra. A piece of news was all Maria ever needed to create a vivid imagination of her own. And she never hesitated to spread what she thinks.“You could have said no.” Orion offers.The look Anders dashes him, has him thinning his lips and swallowing the words right back.Anders cannot say no to Granny. Not at this time.“So when does she move in?” Orion asks. He gets back inside the house. Anders has taken a seat on his couch.“Today.” His response is filled with horror.“Great! This house could use a feminine touch.”Anders glar
