Eren
I let my hand fall from her neck and then I dropped the gun reluctantly. I really wanted to see her writhe in fear. I wanted her to watch as I turned off the safety of the gun and pulled the trigger. I wanted to see how she'd look with blood slipping down her pretty face with a hole in her head. Fuck! I'm so pissed right now. Pissed at the woman in front of me. I had the urge to snap her neck but stopped myself. I could actually do it and bury her body somewhere no one would be able to find her but I didn't want to cause any trouble till I went back to the States. I'm just here for a temporary job ,so I should ignore any other thing not related to my work. But this woman has been on my toes. I'm not interested in pussy for now,I've got a lot on my plate. She's making things hard for me. Slowly,I turned to face Orion. She probably thinks he's my boss. I scoffed, I wouldn't be wearing this crappy uniform if I had completed the job two years ago ,now I'm back here again to start from square one. Disguising as a cop everyday just so I can infiltrate their security wasn't an easy task. This wasn't me, I should be somewhere putting bullets in people's skulls or digging my dagger in some assholes' heart not moving around town trying to find Remy and Mateo. “What are you doing?” Orion spoke,faking surprise. He was good at acting,we were all good at acting. She was just a civilian so we have to act normal or we would blow our cover. He gave me a side eye and I could only clench my fists. Mrs Rhodes started sobbing again and I had to close my eyes to calm myself or I would actually snap her neck. “ I requested protection from him.” She pointed at me.” Officers are supposed to be nice and not refuse to help if needed. It was just for a month till I felt safe again. That was all I asked,and then he threatened to kill me. He threatened to kill me because I wanted him to guard me from my stalker.” She whined. My jaw dropped. When the fuck did I threaten to kill her? Orion glanced at me,a pissed expression on his face.” Eren,is that true? You don't threaten civilians, Eren.” My whole being felt hot. I want to punch something so bad. Orion stepped fully into my office and offered her a napkin. I just stood there with one hand on my jaw as I grinded my teeth. I should be over my laptop trying to connect those numbers not standing here dealing with weak girls. He consoled her, said a few things to her that she nodded and then he patted her shoulders. He escorted her out of the office whispering some words of assurance to her. As she stepped past me, our eyes locked. I saw that triumphant look in her eyes, she's crazy. I knew she faked everything, I hate persistent whores. Orion returned minutes later.” Are you for real?” He threw at me. I stepped past him, and went over to my desk.” She was pestering me, I don't have the patience for that.” He moved over and stood in front of my desk.” She's a civilian,you are supposed to act the part. Why the hell would you say harsh words or even threaten to kill her?” I shrugged nonchalantly.” I only spoke my mind. I don't have time for this Orion, I'm leaving in an hour.” He sighed.” You can't.” I was in the middle of opening my laptop when I paused to look at him.” Since when did you start giving me orders?” “ I already assured her that you'll guard her house six hours at night and six hours at day. Logan is already processing the papers.” Fucking hell! I had to laugh.” Tell her to get a dog,I'm not doing that shit. I don't have 12 hours to take out of my schedule.” Orion ran a hand through his hair.” Eren look, this isn't the first time you are being rude to civilians or refusing to do your duty….” I had to cut him off or I might end up planting a punch on his jaw. “ I'm not a fucking cop!” I raised my voice out of spite. I'm here all because of Javan and it's giving me serious anger issues. The fact that whenever I find him, he slips out of my hold one way or the other was annoying. He just won't die. I could not count the amount of times I've put a bullet through his skin but he still won't stay dead. Orion matched my anger equally. He was just like me ,hotheaded and selfish.” You are wearing the uniform so yes you are. Apart from me and Logan, no one else knows why we are here. If you keep this up then people will talk and then they'll start asking questions. I don't want to be here as much as you do so act your part and let's get the fuck out of this country.” He was panting when he finished. I didn't say a word because he was right. I can't afford to blow my cover,it could get the three of us in trouble. I can't imagine what state security would do if they found out three underground criminals infiltrated the precinct just to get information. Not just criminals, Members of The Zenturio mafia clan. Yes I'm a Zen and I kill people if they piss me off. I for one know how we are hated by the cops and it's all because of how Javan painted us. I took a deep breath.” How long am I doing this? “ “ Probably a month.” Fuck ! I'll have to see her for 12 hours everyday for a whole month. “ Look at the bright side. You'll get more exposure and you can get on the job without bothering about being watched.” He patted my shoulders and left the office ,leaving the door wide open. He always does that, fucking bastard. I leaned in on my chair just as Logan walked in and dropped a file on my desk. “ That's everything you need to know about her and where she lives. Try not to bite her head off,she's a handful.” He winked at me and waltzed off. Just out of pure curiosity ,I picked up the document and flipped through it. Just as I thought, she was jobless. There was only one record of employment which was three years ago. How the fuck does she survive if she has no job. Apart from that ,there was just regular information about her. She's twenty six , single and thick in all places. She's got more ass than an average lady. I sighed and shut the document immediately. I should focus on work before sun down. I haven't even thought about what I would do while I watched over her house for six hours. Something tells me she wouldn't be asleep while I watched over her. As long as she doesn't get in my space then I can manage. At least that's what I told myself but I was wrong. I should have known. She's a damn witch , handpick directly from hell by the devil.ErenI sat motionless, staring straight ahead and my jaw clenched so tightly I thought my teeth might crack.If my blood was lava,I would have exploded by now.They really tried to pin Felix death on me , even if I actually did kill him. It only proves that I have more than one enemy. Those enemies are closer than I thought. I didn't care about the whispers that rumoured around the court ,even the judges were staring at me like I was hiding something. The only thing I cared about right now was Elizabeth and the look on her face.She was doubting me and probably confused from all the testimonies but I didn't like the way she was looking at me. Like she was so close to believing what Javan and Dwain said. I didn't tell her much about my childhood and now I regret it. I knew she was trying to be strong but I saw the way her shoulders trembled.Her parents, especially her mom, looked exhausted. There were even eye bags under their eyes." Eren Scott," the judge finally spoke, looking ov
ErenThe courtroom felt colder than usual today.My fingers were cold despite being clasped tightly in my lap, and my back was stiff against the wooden bench.Javan and Dwain were still present today despite their meaningless dramatic entrance yesterday. I have a bad feeling about this. Dwain’s eyes scanned the courtroom nervously as he adjusted his collar, his steps faltering slightly as he walked over to Mr Sanchez and whispered something in his ears. The old man nodded and he retired back to his seat.The judges arrived and Elizabeth was escorted to take her position in the front of the court room.And the second day of the trial began…..Mr. Sanchez stood from his seat like he’d just received divine inspiration. He's a fucking old bastard. “Your Honor,” he said, voice filled with confidence .“I would like to call an unexpected but crucial witness to the stand.”My hands slowly tightened into fists in my lap and I took a rasp breath. “Mr. Dwain Hartford.” He added. From where I
Eren Dwain and Javan took their seats behind Mr Sanchez and he turned around to acknowledge them ,a relief washed over his face. People started leaving one by one for the break,the courtroom getting crowded. Amidst the crowd,Javan glanced at me. A smirk was on his face,he even had the guts to wave at me. In that moment I had no doubt that it was Javan that leaked the photo. Felix ran errands for him after all. I ignored him and rushed towards Elle before she was taken away. The police officer stood in my way just as I got to her.“Sir you can't.” He said. I glared at him,brushing past him.“ Shut the fuck up and get out of my way.” He was about to protest again but I already had her in my arms. I buried her face in my chest , running my fingers down her hair. I hope it gives her some kind of comfort. “I'm hungry…I want potatoes and red meat.” She mumbled. I creased my brows as I stared down at her. I wasn't expecting her to say that. Then I looked over at the police off
Eren One hour later … The courtroom was packed,the media swarmed the back rows. Felix Sanchez’s father sat in the front row with his lawyer and supporters, arms folded across his chest like a man who knew he'd already won. But I had different plans. The trial had been neutral so far , all the accusations they made against her were bullshit. The speech Mr Sanchez's lawyer gave was another whole bag of bullshit. Elizabeth's parents sat at the other rows,her mum had been crying since it started because she knew her daughter was innocent and all these allegations were just to drag her name in the mud. Elizabeth looked calm but I could read through the look in her eyes. She was tired , there were dark circles under her eyes and it looked like her eyes would fall close any moment now. I took a deep breath before my lawyer called for witnesses and the judge approved. I took the witness stand first. “The footage you’re about to see,” I told the judge, “was recorded the nig
ErenThe morning of the trial felt like armageddon .The air was thick and filled with anticipation and dread. I stood stiffly near the prison gates, hands jammed in my pockets and leaning on my car. I already quit my job at the precinct months ago so I wasn't allowed to escort the accused to court. The precinct had insisted they’d handle the prisoner transfer,that there was no need for me to be here. But they don't know what I know. Elizabeth’s parents had called and reported someone stalking their home.It had happened continuously for the last three days till the trial ,it was like the person wanted them to remain indoors. They called the cops and they called me too but off course the police couldn't do a fucking thing. The moment the police siren draws near the person disappears. But the police were too dumb, what stopped them from turning off the siren and catching whoever was stalking them?I took another deep breath, my muscles heavy with tension and worry.This wasn’t just
Eren Mr Sanchez had a lot of influence and power especially with the authorities. From my observation they feared him and his money more than the law.The man was furious about his son's death and my guts told me he was more aware of his son's crime. The whole problem was worse than I thought. They didn't let anyone see Elizabeth, not even her parents. They were told to wait till court, which was three days from now. So right now ,I don't know how she's faring. I got a lawyer and Madison volunteered to testify as a victim of Felix. From what I see ,we have the upper hand if we play our cards right. Now we had to wait. It was fucking frustrating not been able to see her but I kept my cool. Her parents had put their hope in me and I wasn't going to let them down. I was back at the vault for the supposed meeting. Aslan and some lords were present dressed in black suits. They weren't much ,just the lords that were in opposition and a few that weren't. I made my way to th
