LOGINPlaying pool was his forte. It was also one way to win women's hearts, and before he even started, several female agents flirted with him. However, most of them were in relationships with the men he was playing against. He wanted to keep it cool and focus on the beautiful woman who looked simple yet elegant, hidden behind glasses and a tight ponytail."I’m sorry, darling," he grinned at an agent who was pouting at him. "I don’t want to get involved with your boyfriend."The woman’s boyfriend laughed heartily as they exchanged a secret handshake."So, how are you going to win Miss Porcher’s heart if you keep flirting around?" the agent from District One asked. Viper thought for a moment and shrugged. "We’re only flirting with you because you said you wanted to win her over."They glanced at Miss Porcher. She was half-French and half-Swedish, a combination that made her stunning. He didn’t know exactly why he was so attracted to her—perhaps it was her strong sex appeal, or perhaps he pr
Viper was relaxing for a moment when suddenly, his phone alarm went off. He checked it quickly and nearly fell out of his swivel chair. The alert came from Maxine’s house. When he checked the cameras, he saw people hiding in the bushes; they looked like they intended to rob a large house that appeared to lack physical security.He quickly called the police and then called Maxine. It took a long time for her to answer since she was busy cooking a late dinner while Kal was crying. Finally, she picked up the telephone."Hey, Max. It’s Viper.""Hey, what’s up?" she asked."Your dogs are howling.""Uh-huh, they are. I was about to call, but Terrence isn’t picking up.""Okay, good. I’ve locked all possible entrances to the house. There are people in the bushes.""What?" She quickly turned off the stove and picked up Kal."I called the police and the team. They are on their way. Act normal. Get ready to go to the panic room and hush the dogs.""Okay," she whistled, and the dogs came running.
Violet drove to the café where he usually unwinds after a bad day at the mansion. He always went there because he was completely stressed by Wendy; he had told her as much. She watched as a waitress approached him with water and slid a paper to him. Now that her message had been sent, all she had to do was wait.She didn't want to go inside. She hadn’t put on any makeup or her wig. She watched as he left the café and looked around. There were taxis nearby, so she drove toward him in a fake taxi. She rolled down the window and turned to him."Get in."He opened the front passenger door, hopped in, and buckled his seatbelt. He stared at her as she drove away, his hand automatically resting on her thigh. She didn't look at him, and he wondered what he had done wrong to make her annoyed."Did I do something wrong, love?" he asked."No," she shook her head, holding his hand with her right one. "I'm just in a bad mood today.""I ditched the mansion to see you. I don't want to stay there any
She hushed Kal while monitoring the caretaker cleaning the weeds from the garden. Shortly after, Terrence spoke."Babe, I'm sorry. Yes, I told him to come about five days ago. I forgot to tell you.""Shit," she grumbled, then hushed Kal. "I panicked, I'm sorry.""It's fine. It's good," Terrence said. "Just have the dogs offer him some snacks. He will only be working for two hours.""Okay." She sighed. Kal stopped crying and pointed to the phone. She picked it up and handed it to him."Tata!" Kal said into the phone."Hey, Kal," Terrence greeted, and Kal smiled at Maxine."I'll prepare snacks, then," she said, kissing Kal. "Hold that for me, okay, baby?"She walked out of the panic room with the dogs following her. She went to the kitchen, took out the bread, and heated it. She also sliced some fruit and put it in a bowl. She placed everything in a basket and whistled for the dogs. They fell in line, and she gave a basket to each of them so they could carry them easily.When the dogs r
Violet woke up, drank her energy drink, and exercised. She then took a shower and went downstairs for breakfast. Seeing Bull with Harvey and the others eating normally made her frown."What are you doing here?" she asked, sounding annoyed. Harvey and the others looked up at her."Vi," Bull said, standing up. "They are safe, okay?""Yeah, they might be now. But what about the coming days? How long are you going to stay here?" She gritted her teeth; everyone knew Violet couldn't handle her anger when it came to her family's safety. "Harvey, explain!" she shouted."I'm sorry, Vi. We badly needed him on the team.""We don't! We need him to protect my child and Maxine. Don't you get that?" She furrowed her brows."Vi, calm down. I will finish this.""No!" she said, pointing at him. "The right thing for you to do is to go back there. I won't say this twice.""Violet," Harvey said, standing to approach her. "I ordered him to come here." He reached for her arm, but she flinched away."You kne
Johanna watched as her husband busied himself organizing things for their baby. He had already bought adorable clothes, hand-washing each of them with a soft, gentle detergent. He even packed an emergency bag. She smiled when he showed her the pink and purple blankets he had picked out. Every day, Connor would kiss and speak to her stomach as if he were already talking to an infant."How long are you going to keep organizing that?" Johanna asked."Babe, I organized them by the shade of the color. You might re-organize it if you don't like how I've done it," Connor replied.He zipped the bag and put it in the closet. Then, he crawled closer to her and kissed her tummy. "I love you, baby. I love you so much." He kissed her again before looking up to kiss Johanna’s lips."Once the baby is born, and I know you want to start working out again... let's get married, okay?""Okay," she nodded. "I'll need a few months."He sighed and looked lovingly at her round stomach. "I will build a beauti
