ETHAN COLE

I quickened my feet wanting to reach her. But the crowd scattered, screaming for help.

Suddenly, I could no longer see even the tip of her head.

Smoke billowed, spreading through the room.

My heart pounded, sweat pouring down my face. Heat rose to my throat, irritation blocking my airway.

The ashy smoke had blurred my vision, tears threatening to fall. I blinked them away.

I could barely see through the commotion, as people pushed past me, crying for help.

They forced their

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    An Assassin Loyal Enough

    AVA DUVAL He loves me. He loves me. Ethan loves me. Then why was his face so blank, his eyes darker than they should be?Why did it break my heart when he said nothing at all?Or maybe, I had been deceiving myself all along. The rain showered, wind blowing against my face. The moon had disappeared behind dark rain clouds.Ethan stood there, strands of hair over his face… his lips twitched as though he wanted to say something, but decided against it. It shattered my heart even more. He raised his dead eyes at me, soulless like everything we ever had was a joke. I couldn't bring myself to believe that. Tonight was overwhelming… the break in, the fire, it was enough to break someone. “Ava…” We had been through so much in one night. I should understand. Yet the aching in my chest continued to tear piece by piece. “Ava,” he called, his tone unmasked. I snapped back to reality. The painful one. “What?” He let out a heavy sigh, as though I was being childish. “Let'

    ETHAN COLE I quickened my feet wanting to reach her. But the crowd scattered, screaming for help. Suddenly, I could no longer see even the tip of her head. Smoke billowed, spreading through the room. My heart pounded, sweat pouring down my face. Heat rose to my throat, irritation blocking my airway. The ashy smoke had blurred my vision, tears threatening to fall. I blinked them away. I could barely see through the commotion, as people pushed past me, crying for help. They forced their way through the door as the fire spread. I needed to find her then leave. After all she was more than just my duty. My mind raced through different possibilities, none more favourable than the other. She couldn't have left without me, especially when there was a stampede going on. Human beings who claimed to be dignified racing to save their heads… to survive…Wait. Everything stopped, including the numerous thoughts running through my head. My eyes widened as realization struck me like lig

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Hickeys and Smoke

    ETHAN COLE. My breath huffed as I thrusted into her. She moaned loud enough to be heard. Too bad no one could hear us from her room. Her body jerked each time I thrust in, sweat dripping from her face. The Duval party?Was this a way to put an end to my misery? Her father, Mr Han, had come home bearing the news. They were launching a new product that would shock the world. And this… this was my mission. To get the information on how. Ava collapsed to the bed, while I rolled beside her, keeping my hand on her waist. She gasped, her soft breath doing crazy things to me. I pushed it aside. For now. “That party starts in a few hours, you know that, right?” I asked, planting a kiss on her temple. She nodded, then snuggled closer to me as though this party engagement wasn't her concern. “If your father steps in sweetheart, I might lose my job–” I brushed her off, sitting on the bed. “And I don't want that. Who's going to do this when I go?” I teased. She chuckled, but I

    AVA DUVAL Everything happened so fast. The tension shifted, chills running down my spine. Three men stood before us, the young boy in their hostage. His eyes dropped as though he had accepted his fate. Ethan hissed. “I was thinking we'd come from behind, but since it's come to this, we should try to…”“Negotiate,” I muttered loud enough for the both of them to hear. I didn't know anything about negotiating with killers and abductors, but they clearly had the upper hand. With one slash of their knives, the boy's head would be rolling on the floor, while his lifeless body dropped. Winnie smirked, clicking her tongue. “They do not negotiate. But let's try it.”She marched forward, dropping her weapon with her hands surrendered in mid air. Ethan watched from the side, blending with the darkness while Winnie did her thing. And as for me, I had already been caught with my terrible choice of clothing. Yellow. Who trudges through the woods for an assassin job in yellow?The

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    On A Mission

    AVA DUVAL Winnie sat lazily on the couch, her head thrown back, staring into blank space. I stood at the entrance observing her. She wore a dark leather outfit that hugged her petite frame. A hair clip tucked at the side of her neatly packed ponytail. She held Ethan's gun, her fingers slipped into the trigger guard, carelessly spinning it like some toy you got at the store. It hadn't been long since we last saw each other, but she had changed. Her smile was gone, replaced by a grave expression. Just like Ethan. Ethan who stood by the other end of the large room seemed to have spotted me, because he raised his brow. “Winnie,” I said, finally stepping in. Her face lit up, dour countenance dissipating as though it had never been there. She jumped to her feet, spread out her arms in an attempt to hug me. And she did. My hands stayed around her too, the heat in her body warming me up too. “Let me guess, he's giving you a hard time too?” I glanced at him through my

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    A Promise

    AVA DUVAL I sat before the reading table, the screen of my tablet flashing on my face as I scrolled through the sources from my research. What was VAR's real mission? Who really were they, really? The thought had plagued my mind since the sudden assassin revelation. Ethan said father was well aware of that, and no matter how much I wanted to deny that, he was openly close with that organization. Praised them for all kinds of deeds, and had long kept ties with them. Just then, my eyes caught a source. A website that was based on countless conspiracies. Random people posted about certain conspiracies whether it was something as unnecessary as why cookies are baked and not boiled to major ones. Swiping my fingers across the screen, I finally found what I was looking for. A medium length article with the title written boldly that no one would miss it:THE VAR CONSPIRACY Click My fingers tapped on it, eyes scanning the article My eyes caught the date it was posted.
