《The Billionaire's Game》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 17 章

The heist was tonight, as Reena had been lovingly briefed by Caelan Thorne, who is also apparently her new owner, she was to attend the party on his arm, less a companion, and more of a beautiful piece of artifact to steal another priceless artifact, and to make him look good while doing it.If her glare could be weaponized, then Reena knew for a fact that Caelan would be laying by her feet in smithereens, and that thought was more comforting than expected.“I am sure you have been sufficiently briefed on what to do?” Caelan immediately asked the moment Reena arrived down the wide double doors with Beth clutching her arm exceptionally hard as she led her forward, but Reena clamped on her lips and refused to give her the satisfaction of a reaction.Yanking away from her grip, Reena raised one arm gently to rub at her gloved hand, her lips pursed stubbornly as she ignored Caelan’s and his icy questions, but the growing look of dark delight in his eyes at her disobedience was enough to s

Reena swung out of the car effortlessly. Her dark blue dress slipped over her legs like gossamer, and her dark stilettos accentuated the elegance of her feet. And although she was nervous, terrified even, her acting had already begun.And despite her fear and apprehension of Caelan, she slid one beautifully gloved hand around his proffered one, her movements sure and precise. At that moment, she was no longer Reena Walters, but Agent Thirteen, trained in the art of extraction. She was not going to die tonight, not when things with the agency were still so muddied, not when she was not sure about William, and not when Caelan still breathed.“It's time, show me what you’ve got, Senora.” He whispered with a smirk as they moved through the double doors.“ The man of the hour, Caelan Thorne!” A voice hollered the minute they stepped through, and Caelan sucked in a sharp breath that was only audible to Reena before his lips twisted into a sharp grin, and he threw back his head in an answer

“In position!” A buff guard barked as he took Reena by the shoulders and shoved her into place, which was right in the middle of the room, which coincidentally was close to the Pandora, and Reena struggled to keep her expression neutral.“I have never seen you before.” He growled softly as he leaned into Reena, his humid breath clouding her head.“You have. I work here, Sir.” Reena murmured, hanging her head low again. She was not blending as well as she should have, and it was causing her hackles to rise.“What division are you?” He asked again, already nodding to someone behind Reena, and she shifted on her feet, slowly getting into a fighting stance.Somehow, she hoped that Caelan was listening, that he would not leave her to die, but she also knew better than to wait for someone to save her, no one had ever done that, and it was not about to change.“Maintenance,” she muttered, half-muffled, just loud enough for the guard to hear.The buff man’s eyes narrowed. His face was too cl

Reena felt her eyes twitch at his words, she didn't need his help, she had already gotten free. He was just there to claim the prize. "I could have handled it." She spat, her eyes sparkling with ire, but he smiled slightly at the sight. "Are you laughing right now?!" Reena spluttered. " I almost died in that cave, you fiend!" She shrieked, but he was no longer looking at her now, instead his head was cocked as he surveyed their surroundings, and his stance immediately warned Reena of danger."Get in the car." He ordered, his hands already going for something in his sleeve, and before Reena could question him, he flung two daggers right past her ears, and she stiffened. Was he trying to kill her?But an answering cry from behind, answered her question. It was time to run.The car waited at the edge of the clearing, black metal glinting faintly under a slice of moonlight. It was sleek, alive, its engine already purring like a restless animal.Caelan pulled open the driver’s door, and
