JANE

This is too sudden.

I keep asking myself what pushed me to say it. I hadn’t planned it. I hadn’t rehearsed the words, hadn’t imagined how it would sound coming out of my mouth.

I just… said it right to his face.

I had to.

It needed to be said. Because somewhere along the line, it felt like he had forgotten. And sooner or later, this would have come up anyway.

But this silence… It’s starting to scare me.

My fingers rise up to my lips as his gaze deepens, darkening in a way I can’t read. Ev

    JANEMy lips part in a reluctant grasp for air but a shuddered breath escapes me instead.As if the sound of it brought Quinn back to himself, he adjusts his stand. He doesn't let go of my neck but his grip loosens and now he slouches over me like he's afraid to let go, his nose brushing mine lightly before drawing away."You say you wanna leave so badly but here you are shuddering even at the mere thought of it."He was right. Why could he read my body language so much? How did I never find it a problem until this fragile moment?"I shudder because I'm scared of you." I say instead and I see what that does to him. His upper lip drags up as he sniffles and he lets go at last. I could tell how much of his ego was bruised. "All I've ever done is protect you...""From the danger that comes with being with you!" I stare straight into his eyes and his brows knit. His jaw tightens as he stares at me, at the defiance in my eyes. At the way my chest rises and falls like I'm bracing myself

Even though, they were not on me, I could feel the intensity of their gaze. Then they shift and so does he.The moment he pushes himself to his feet, he turns his back on me and I stand too, almost immediately.I want to call his name as I stared at his back, moving as he poured himself a small glass of brandy that he gulps down at once I want to call his name, ask him to speak to me, beg him to say something, anything. I fight the urge to touch him.“Where would you go?”Finally, he mumbled.Rel

    JANEMy period should’ve come five days ago. What am I missing?God… please don’t let it be that...I dig through the drawer again, my fingers frantic as they shove past sanitary pads, wipes, tubes of Replens. The unopened box of tampons still sits there, untouched -proof of a habit - I wasn't ever a fan of tampons. My chest tightens as I keep searching.Then I find it - My birth-control card. I pull it out with shaking fingers and count.One. Two. Three... I should be holding an empty pack.I missed three pills - guilty!I knew I was missing it, yet Quinn and I had been having sex non-stop for days and I knew what would happen. Perhaps, I secretly expected this to happen. So why was I shocked and scared now?I felt tiny tingles of cold on my forehead and my palm flew up to find it was beads of sweat. I wipe it off at once, knowing well, the cause.I’ve been holding that pee for too long.I rush to the toilet as fast as my heavy bladder allows, barely shutting the door before relief

    QUINN"Master of Disguise - that's what he was called." Mario murmurs from beside me and I nod."I'm not surprised. That's exactly what he was."After I killed Igor, I made sure to locate his house and have it checked for useful information. After his computers and belongings were put to check, Venice came to discover that Igor wasn't the fragile 52 year old man he pretended to be. He went by the name Chameleon Hue - an infamous assassin that worked for many secret organizations across the continent.He didn't stop after he came from jail. All he had to do was use his body frame to his advantage and look like a harmless cafe man. But in the night, he was a demon that slithered through the alleys and reaped lives out. I fell for it too."It seems his daughter left when she found out. So he wanted to take the job and earn a decent money from it for her sake.""No, I don't think she knows," I chew on my lip. "Find her and have Igor's savings transfered to her. But if she really ran off

    JANEI find my fingers recoiling into my palms as I watched the man whose face brought back a long line of dark memories surging through me.He didn't change -Those eyes were still the same. Nothing to show as a man who had been through the cell. Or one who had reversed his ways. Nothing changed. Mario pulled the iron bars open so that we could see him clearly. My eyes burned as he fixed his on mine. Then his gaze rolls off like I'm nothing, landing back on Quinn. "You could've just killed me already!" He growled the moment Mario tore the tape off his mouth."Why? Two days of starvation, too much for you to handle?" Quinn asked. "I'm still here," He pointed to his stomach"And so are you,” he pointed back to Igor's leg.That's when I see - dripping blood from what looked like a bullet wound to the calf."What do you want with me?" He pants like his life is draining out of him. His face is swollen and his shirt soaked in sweat and bloodstains."Reflection, admittance, apologies, and p

    QUINN“Wait. Wait. Wait!” then SHIMM!The slash comes with the sound, sharp and wet, and I jolt awake. I push my head up from the pillow and a sharp pain is sent to my waist.I hiss, my hand flying to the wound.I blink hard, the room coming into focus till I see her figure. Lucia's perched awkwardly on a chair by the table, elbow propped, fist tucked under her cheek. Her eyes are closed, her head tilted at an angle that tells me she didn’t mean to fall asleep like that.God, no! She’s uncomfortable, but clearly too exhausted to fight the sleep.I grunt as I force myself upright. For a moment, the pain locks me in place, then it recedes, scattering through my entire body until it all fades and I feel almost nothing... except her. I reach for the robe hanging on the closet hook and slide my arms into it, tugging it over my shoulders.The bandage on my wound is soaked through, brown-red blooming against the white. I clutch the plackets, drawing the robe closed to cover it. Lucia does

    QUINNVenice pulls over beneath the sky’s blackened canopy, near the flickering streetlights. I drop my hoody and step out, my movements slow, until I slid into the seat beside her.“I bet I never asked you this before,” she said, eyes forward. “You sure about this?”“Yes.” I cock my pistol and her

    JANE As the coffee steamed up in my face I rubbed my temple slowly. It was still very early with nothing but the warm lights slipping through the kitchen windows.I took a sharp sip of my coffee and pushed the cup between my hands laid flat on the table.Just then, another pair of hands slides for

    QUINN"I'm gonna have to ground you now," I said, breaking out of her spell and drawing back."And how would you do that?" She staggers to her feet. "Lock me up in here and make sure I read twenty books in two days?""That'll be fair."She giggles and continues drawing close to me. "What if I make

    JANE My hands were constantly tapping at the table as I watched the clock. It was already a few minutes to midnight. Quinn should've been back by now. I paced back to my room and slithered up my bed, hugging my legs. When my eyes fell back to the reading table, they lingered for a while. I'd pr
