Chloe who had fallen asleep in Nathaniel's arms after she had experienced something the most amazing thing, walked out of the bathroom with the only white bathrobe that accessorised the whistle tiled room, covering her wet nudity.Nathaniel who had woken her up to bathe was seated at the edge of the bed, his head buried in the laptop seated dutifully on his lap.Recalling how sensual his eyes were earlier made her want to reach out to him and stay in his arms all day. So, she got rid of the slippers on her feet and climbed onto the bed, the little ache in between her thighs ignored."What is it Chloe?" Nathaniel asked without looking behind him and with a grin she shifted closer and wrapped her arms around his neck, the light from the device burning her eyes a bit."I just want to hug you..." Her hold tightened and the man could not help but chuckle."Don't tell me you are hungry for my touch already. " He went back to typing.Chloe pondered o

"What exactly is going on?" The shock on his face was something she had pictured a lot but seeing it in reality really broke her heart. It never seemed to be something that would hurt that much to Chloe."I-""We have him sir," a thick voice interrupted the tense air and a look behind her, Chloe saw Nathaniel had been secured between two men, cuffs on his hands, his head still bleeding. "Can't you see he is not okay? Shouldn't you be treating him before he loses too much blood? " Chloe found herself rushing towards Nathaniel who didn't appear to be aware of what was going on around him."Stay back Agent," one of the men pushed her shoulder slightly causing her to stagger backwards. She caught herself before her buttocks hit the ground hard but instead of staying back like the man wished, she lunged at him and tried to snag the keys attached to his trousers.That attempt was rapidly unsuccessful and Chloe was soon forced against the rough wall

 “What exactly is going on? Why are you doing this?” Chloe directed questions at Gabriel whose smile didn’t fail as his eyes followed her movements dutifully.“It is surprising, isn’t it?” he asked delightfully as she found a stance. “I must have been really good at the whole pretense thing because by the look on your face, it never occurred to you that I am responsible for this sudden downfall.”Amir’s chest rose and fell with impact as the deepest sigh escaped him and Chloe finally found it easy to close her mouth.“To be fair…” he continued as the back of his neck welcomed the probably cold feel of the gun’s mouth. “… I never pictured you to be a spy. I didn’t believe it until Markings told me all about it.”“A spy?” Amir asked and Gabriel chuckled. As Amir’s eyes met Chloe’s, the familiar feeling of guilt took a

 It was sad that his brother was lying on the bed, looking so lost.It was heartbreaking that his other brother was in jail and was responsible for the downfall that had befallen them.It was also crazy that Sebastian was gone, never to be seen until one gets to the other side.And it was crazier that the woman he loved was not who he thought she was.His eyes furiously trained on Amir who was still keeping mute, Nathaniel wondered why Gabriel did the things that led them all to that moment. Surely, something must have happened.Surely, something must have gone wrong along the line.He either was not a good leader and brother or Gabriel just wanted more than he could take. But Nathaniel knew that he tried on his part. He did the best he could for the only people he called family, the people he knew as family."Amir..." he called his friend, emotions embedded in his voice. "I am so sorry I didn't

"So, this is where you have been hiding from the world, hiding from your reality," Nathaniel calmly said, his grip still around her shoulders. As the emotions in his eyes alternated between concern and joy and perhaps anger, Chloe found it harder to bring words out of her mouth. She found it more surprising that he somehow found her. Just when she was certain she did a good job of running away from her life, he ended up locating her. "Are you going to keep staring at me with those teary eyes of yours?" he asked, the lowered tone of his voice pulling her heartstrings that she felt the urge to cry some more. "I can't believe you have been tucked into this house, crying your eyes out.""I cried just today!" she retorted strongly and he chuckled."Sure. I'm letting you go now." Her buttocks kissed the ground softly as Nathaniel did as he said. "You have a nice place though," he continued, his footsteps approaching the living room.
