All Chapters of Her Eyes of Emerald and Fire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lisa shakes her head at Eliza, who narrows her eyes“I don’t know.” Lisa sounds defeated, “I know it’s shady because of the secrecy. But I don’t fucking know what he’s doing, okay?” She sobs, and Eliza stands up straight.“Okay then. I’m done here.” Ash opens the door for her, and they leave the screen. Lisa lies down on the bed, and sobs into her pillow. Kai turns the sound off on her monitor. Anthony looks at her,“Wow. You stop one woman from crying and make the next one cry. You are a woman of many facets.” Anthony comments, she inclines her head slightly,“I’m a fucking diamond. Sparkly, but sharp.” Ash laughs, and Anthony chuckles, Kai smirks at her,“Yes, you are, Baby.” Kai moves towards her, and puts a hand on her shoulder. “And Gods, we’re glad you’re on our side.” She smiles up at him, and he feels his heart flutter a little.“Me too.” She whispers, then looks back to the screens. “Two down, two to go. Finnbarr next.” Kai nods, and leans against the desk with the computers

“Give me a number, Honey.” Eliza looks up at Ash, then away. She sighs before answering.“It’s about a seven.” Shit, that’s not good.“How long has it been this bad?” She sighs and rubs her forehead,“Too long, I should have said something earlier. I just didn’t want to let it stop me from finishing the work here.” He nods, but stops her,“I can carry you back to the office. We can rest there.” She shakes her head,“I can walk, for now. But I’ll bear the offer in mind. I promise.” Kai looks at them down the hallway, he frowns at her, but she just straightens and smiles at him, like nothing is wrong. Gods, she’s good at hiding her pain. That bugs him, that she’d had to learn how to, twists something inside him. Kai smiles as she comes over to him,“Okay, that was fucking incredible to watch, Baby. The way you took him down so easily, remarkable.” She grins at him, and inclines her head taking the compliment.“Thanks.” She settles in the chair and spins it so she’s facing the room. “So,

Ash leads her to the kitchen after texting Kai to figure out what he’s up to. He’d dumped Seth in his room and locked the door, he could sit tight for now. She felt much better knowing he won’t keep pestering her. She can deal with him when she’s awake, but asleep? She has no chance of fending him off then. She just has to hope her nightmares would leave this little incident out. Kai’s in the kitchen when they get there and he smiles at her,“Hey, Baby. I’m just finishing up your food, give me a moment.” She smiles, and takes the seat offered to her by Ash. He sits next to her and she watches Kai cooking. He looks like a master in his element, there’s not a thing out of place. He seems to be making some sort of stir-fry. It smells amazing, she takes a deep breath in as he places the plate in front of her. Brandishing a fork. She disarms him, and smiles.He smiles down at her, then quickly cleans up after himself, leaving the kitchen sparkling clean. She takes her first mouthful and mo

She smiles at Kai and nods. She picks up one of the throwing knives. She shows him how it works.“It’s fully flexible, and soft when it’s turned off.” She wafts it, and hands him the thing, he turns it over in his hands.“Feels like fabric almost.” She nods, then, holding it carefully, making sure not to cut Kai when she does, she turns it on. A small electrical current flows into the fabric and it becomes flat and rigid. Kai turns it over carefully, and tests the edge. “That’s a sharp knife.” She smiles,“They’re all like that. Virtually undetectable by touch, and perfectly safe when they’re turned off.” She carefully starts packing the bits back into their places. “Only I can turn these on, they’re coded to my fingerprints.” He nods, “But once they’re on I can give them to someone else, if needed.” He smirks at her,“You planning on letting us have a go, if needed?” She looks at him, she’s not put the swords away yet, and he’s more likely to know how to use one of those. She turns o

Eliza smirks, and turns back to watch the three guys by the dock master. The three guys are asking for a specific container to be unloaded first. She opens the coms again,“That’s the container we want. Let them unload it, then we’ll move in.” There’s a quiet chorus of ‘Yes, Boss.’ She starts moving back from the edge. Then finds the ladder down to the ground. Ash and Kai are following her. She nods to them and slides down the ladder carefully. They follow her, more cautiously. She’s at the corner of the building by the time they catch up. The container is now on the crane, being lowered where the three are directing it.“Wait.” Ash and Kai stay behind her and flatten themselves to the wall, she watches the men and the container carefully. Once the container’s safely on the ground, they open it and disappear inside. “Now!” There was a flurry of movement, several of her people converging on the container quickly surrounding it. She and the twins make a bee line for the door. Opening it
