FAZER LOGINDaisy I make my way to the library, this time accompanied by six men. I feel stifled. I need something to take my mind off almost getting killed. Since that day I have not been able to sleep without nightmares, waking up shaking and crying in Kaiden's arms. Every night I have vivid dreams of the attack, only this time I don't make it out alive.Shaking my head to displace the memories, I walk towards my favourite shelf, scanning the different books and the men walk beside me. This is ridiculous, I'd told Kaiden I wanted to leave...but where was even safe? It feels like the walls are closing in but even if I go back to Aunt Mercy's house I'd feel the same way. I should have proved I had nothing to do with Erebus and found a way to escape as soon as I got here instead of freaking sleeping with him, way to fucking go Daisy. Reaching out for a fantasy novel I'd been reading, my fingers pause when I hear a disapproving grunt. "Uhm can I help you?" I ask, rhetorically. One of 'my men'
Kaiden:Christos looks smug, possibly mistaking the smile on my face for one of delight at his presence.I gesture for him to take a seat and I reclaim my position behind my desk. Andreas remains standing, his body subtly blocking the exit."I'll take it from here, Andreas. Thank you."I wait for the door to click shut behind him before I turn to address Christos. Too bad the fucker interrupts me."I was surprised when Andreas contacted me. I was just getting used to Chicago but it's good to be back," Christos says, looking like the very picture of the cat that got the cream."Sorry to interrupt your vacation," I reply sarcastically, allowing a little ice to creep into my tone. He picks up on it and stiffens in his seat, laughing awkwardly, " No sir, I wasn't interrupted. It's an honour to be back."No doubt he's excited to continue scheming against me. Eager to cut the bullshit, I swipe through my tablet for a copy of the contract we found in the warehouse. You know, the one with hi
Kaiden:I loosen my tie as I revisit the files in front of me, taking note of the guards Andreas placed in each of the rooms. Outside the door of my office, my staff are immersed in the hustle and bustle of Blackbird Casino.Alex strolls in, one hand in his pocket the other holds a briefcase which he places on my desk deliberately covering the files I am viewing.Sighing I lift my eyes to his, wondering what the fuck he is up to now.He smirks in response and opens the briefcase with a flourish, "From Senator McCartney's personal vault. The fucker sure didn't like me showing up to his anniversary dinner, his face turned white as a sheet mask." He descends into uproarious laughter."I thought I told you to threaten him with the news broadcast," I say, lifting a stack from the pile and thumbing through the bills. There's nothing better than untraceable cash."I did that, just added a more personal touch." He swaggers to the table that holds an array of drinks. Lifting the wine bottle to
Kaiden: Daisy sleeps fitfully in my arms. Wincing now and again when she shifts against me. I loosen my hold, allowing her to move freely. The soup I brought from the kitchen has long grown cold on the nightstand. That's the only thing she'll be able to eat for a while because of her throat. My hands form fists as I imagine the attacker wrapping his hands around her throat and squeezing. I need to tighten the security around her, he shouldn't have been able to reach her so easily. If not for Alex, Erebus would have succeeded in killing her. Daisy whimpers and twists, her face scrunching up in fear. Even though he's dead, he still torments her dreams. It makes me wish he were alive so I could kill him myself. I tighten my arms around her flailing body and pull her to my chest. "Shhhh, Pyrkagia. You're safe," I murmur, my lips pressed to her ear. Her curls tickle my nose and I inhale the scent of coconut. She finally settles and I slip out of the bed, being careful not to jostle
Daisy: I see Alex's face just as darkness takes over. I hear several footsteps approaching and try to make out the conversation but their words sound like distant echoes. When I come to I am in the room again. My head still hurts, and I feel weak and dizzy. I hear some scuffle outside the door before it opens and a man pokes his head in. He assesses me then turns to address someone behind him, "She's up, get the doctor and tell the boss". The door closes with a click behind him. I hear footsteps retreating and close my eyes to reduce the drowsiness, I feel so weak, not because of whatever painkillers that have clearly worn off in my system, but because I couldn't take down one guy. I'd seen Kaiden and Ivan do so much and I couldn't even take down one guy. I'd have died if Alex hadn't intervened. Great, so Alex finds me more useless than he already did. I sit up on the bed, hissing when my head pulses in response to the movement. Kaiden is busy and I being defenceless is defini
Daisy:Ivan's men are crowded in front of the medical bay and spread down the hallway on either side, glaring at anyone who dares to stroll past the door. Last I heard, he was awake but still on strict bed rest and since the injury happened under Kaiden's roof the atmosphere is really tense at the moment.Any little misunderstanding can lead to an all-out war. I steel myself as I stop in front of the men. Lifting my chin I make eye contact with some of them, "I'd like to see Ivan."Silence is the reply I get, the one directly in front of the door, quite possibly the biggest motherfucker I've ever seen, just glares down at me."Come on, there's not much I can do with you guys right outside the door," noticing how they stiffen at my words I quickly throw my hands up in surrender, "Not that I'm any danger to him. He basically saved my life, I just want to know how he's doing."I brace myself to be lifted and tossed like a salami when the door creaks open and Ivan himself stands in the
