Evelyn's voice snapped me out of the trance I was in and I blinked. "I heard it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding." She applied lipstick and looked at me through the reflection in the mirror with a smirk. "It's more bad luck if you get married before ever seeing who you're marrying," I replied. She dropped her lipstick and smiled. She turned around slightly to look at me. "Well, now you've seen me, how does that make you feel?" She asked. I shrugged and leaned in the doorpost. "I don't know, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before," I said, taking a look at her face closely. "But I can't put a finger on where it was," I added. "I'd recognize a face like yours if I ever saw it somewhere," she replied and looked back at the dressing mirror. I scrunched my nose, I didn't know if that was supposed to be an insult or a compliment. "They're calling for you, hurry up," she said. I didn't hear anyone calling me, but after a few seconds, I heard Enzo call my name in
Damian I drove my car, a BMW i18 into the parking space of Nexus Consolidated Headquarters and slowly came to halt. I climbed down from the car with a briefcase in hand and I shut the door. I was wearing a black suit and a long coat. My black hair was neatly styled to the front and my shoe, a black Aubercy Diamond glistened in the sun. My shoes clomped against the floor as he walked into the main building. I walked into an elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. I looked at my wristwatch, I was 2 min late for the board meeting. Immediately, the elevator hissed open, I stepped out and immediately walked into the board room.Everyone else was already sitting around the long table and I pulled my seat backward, sitting and dropping my briefcase on the table. ***The meeting had been on for about 20 minutes and we had raised many issues before they finally brought up the main reason for the meeting. I looked at the big screen at the other end as they showed me the stats o
I stopped as the door of my room opened and Evelyn stepped out. I looked at her and sighed. Fuck! I had totally forgotten about her or that she had claimed this room as hers. Actually, I let her."I can help," she said and I squinted my right eye. "You can handle whatever issue you have at your company, I'll help Enzo solve the case of the missing family," she explained. "You were listening?" I asked, knowing the obvious answer. "You're standing in front of my room and you weren't exactly being quiet about it," she replied and rolled her eyes. "Wait, her room?" Enzo looked so confused. "Long story," I said and he nodded. "We don't know what is happening exactly here, it could be dangerous," I said and she scoffed. "I'm guessing you said that because I'm a LADY. I bet I could kick your ass if I have to," she replied with sarcasm and irritation. "No, I didn't assume anything. I just-" "Yeah, you didn't," she interrupted, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She stared at me with
EvelynI was here now and I might be here for the next three months as Damian's wife. I wanted to find the MoonGem so badly and I wish it were that easy, but I knew it was going to take a while. And while I am waiting, I'm not planning on sitting around doing nothing so when I heard Damian's dilemma, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to get busy. As soon as I got dressed, I quickly found Lorenzo in the general room. He looked up and stood up as he saw me. I walked away and he followed me behind."You said you found something," I said and stopped walking as we got far enough from the general room. "Yes," he affirmed, "early this morning, the security reported spotting a car parked just down the street leading to the estate."I raised my eyebrow in curiosity. That didn't make sense, how does that help anything?"What car?" I asked. "There aren't usually any cars parked within half a mile radius of the gate. There's no building close by," Lorenzo Oh. That actually made a bit of
EvelynI grunted as I tugged at the nail and it opened up a small wooden door to reveal a safe behind it. Gotcha. I opened the door of the safe and there was a combination lock.Now, I just have to find out what his password is. There are only about a million different possible combinations, shouldn't be hard at all. I sighed in frustration, but also felt a bit relieved. At least, I now have a headstart. I stared at the ten keys on the safe and was about to try a random combination when I heard a knock on the door. I immediately closed the safe and put the wooden board back in place. The person knocked a second time "Hold on, I'm coming," I said and grabbed the painting, hanging it back in its place. I walked to the door and opened the door just slightly enough for me to see who it was. Lorenzo showed me the ID we had retrieved from the car earlier and I walked out, closing the door behind. I didn't want him to see the state the room was in. "What is it?" I asked. "I confir
Tyler I sat down alone on a park bench holding up a newspaper I was pretending to read so I could cover my face. From the corner of my eyes, I monitored two men meeting up to do a quick underground exchange. No one in the pack knew I was here let alone the fact that I was carrying out a personal mission. Not even the Alpha. The mission wasn't personal in the sense that if I was successful, I would be able to get the pack the one thing it so desperately needed, the MoonGem. But it was also personal because that mission had been entrusted to Evelyn and I wasn't supposed to interfere. I and Evelyn have had a rival-friend relationship since forever. We were friends, but the rivalry started when we got old enough and started getting assigned to pack missions. Evelyn was good, I must give it to her, but many times, just before the mission would be successful, she would slip up or make a mistake. Mistakes that felt too impossible for her to make. It always felt like she was holding b
Derek slammed the door shut quickly and I heard him lock it from the other side. I hissed, gritting my teeth and I stood up with a loud grunt.Son of a bitch. I moved back a bit and ran into the door with my weight. I felt it physically weaken under my weight and I moved back again, running into it the second time. This time, the door collapsed and I staggered forward a bit before regaining my balance. I heard the revving of a motorbike and I quickly ran out of the house, hurrying to the back where the sound was coming from. Derek was sitting on a motorbike and he looked over his shoulder before driving straight into the woods. I looked around and saw another motorbike packed. I hurried to it and fortunately, the key was in it. I tried to start it several times and when it finally did, it wouldn't move. I looked down and saw that one of the tires was punctured. Son a bitch. I looked up and saw that he was getting away already. I had no choice but to run after him. I zoomed t
EvelynAre we sure this car has anything to do with the missing family?" I asked. "It's the only lead we have." He shrugged. "Send me the location, we're going on a trip." We both walked to the garage and I headed to the car we took the last time."I'll drive," I said, stopping on the side of the driver's seat. Lorenzo looked at me in hesitance for a second before tossing the key to me. I caught the key and climbed in, starting the engine. I got strapped into the seatbelt before slowly reversing the car, and as I got the car on the main road, I took out my phone and handed Lorenzo my phone after unlocking it. "Save your number and send yourself a hi, so you can send me the location," I said and he took the phone from me. He soon handed it back to me and I set the phone on the top of the dashboard. The ride to the farm took about 45 minutes and I slowed down as we got to the farm on the location Lorenzo set. I pulled over by the side of the road and I grabbed my phone. I looked
