RENEE “Excuse me?”“You heard me.”I shook my head.“I definitely didn't.” I said, “Because for a second there it sounded like you asked me out to dinner.”“That is exactly what I did.” I stared at him for another few seconds before throwing my hands into the air.“Are you bipolar?” I let out,The smile on his face widened.“Because what the fuck do you mean by I should go on a date with you?”I pointed at him accusingly.“A minute ago, you were threatening me with a fucking gun.” I continued, “You had me dragged into this room and accused me of being some sort of spy and now...” I laughed in disbelief. “…now you want to have dinner?”“What kind of insane person does that?”He regarded me calmly, completely unbothered by my outburst.“I am curious about you," he said. “That’s all.”I blinked.“You are…” I scoffed. “What you are is unbelievable.”“So? Dinner?”“No! I am not going on a date with you.”His expression didn't change.“Why not?”“Seriously?” I laughed. “You've been nothin

SERGEI She looked even more beautiful than the last night, in that dress. Maybe because now I could see her full face and it was much better than I had even imagined it to be.I was lost for words even now, just sitting here looking at her.Why the fuck did she have this kind of effect on me? At that moment, my attention drifted to the entrance. I saw four men had just walked in.This was not exactly something that should have drawn any attention, but I was somebody that noticed every single thing. It was something that had been drilled into me and Nikolai right from when we were younger.I could tell instantly that there was something wrong with them. One of the men's jackets hung too heavily on one side. Another kept scanning the room instead of looking at the receptionist and the third never removed his hand from inside his coat.I saw exactly when my eyes met with one of them and when it all went sideways. I saw it.Gun."Down!"Before she could react, I lunged across the table.

RENEE “Where… am I?”The words came out as little more than a whisper.My head throbbed with a dull ache as I blinked at the unfamiliar ceiling above me.Just one look around the expensive-looking bedroom I found myself in, and I could tell instantly that this was definitely not my apartment.I pushed myself upright, immediately regretting it as a wave of dizziness rolled through me."Fuck..."Fragments of memory surfaced one after another. I remembered the restaurant and Sergei smiling at me across the table.The deafening crack of gunfire.And the blood… oh the blood.That was a sight that I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to get out of my head anytime soon.I groaned, realizing what had happened then and there."I fainted."Fantastic. I had survived a shooting only to pass out like some damsel in distress.My pride would never recover from this.Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I stood carefully, testing whether they would cooperate.They did.I looked around the room

RENEE“You cannot be serious!” My ears still rang from what Sergei had just said.Do what you want with the girl?He had practically just condemned Emma to death without so much as a thought behind it.I had to be hallucinating right now.There was no way a human being could stand there, look another person in the eye, and decide someone else's life wasn't worth saving.I marched straight toward him before anyone could stop me and grabbed him by the freaking collar.“Are you fucking crazy?”He didn't flinch or even blink.“You're talking about the only family I have!”His silence only fueled my anger. I jabbed a finger into his chest.“Call him back right this very minute.” I said, “Get whoever the fuck that was back on the phone!”His gray eyes settled on mine.“No.”My jaw dropped at the audacity of this crazy man.“No?”“I'm not giving him what he wants.” he went on.“You… You cant be serious right now.” My voice cracked. “This has to be some sort of bad dream. Renee breath… any mi

RENEEMy phone buzzed, jolting me from my thoughts. I looked down to see Iris' name lighting up the screen."I should take this." I said, turning to leave the room.“Who is it?” Sergei asked.“My best friend, Iris. You know the one whose name I stole that got me into this mess in the first place?”"Pick it up here.""Excuse me?" I stared at him."You heard me. I said take the call right here in front of us.”“I will do no such thing.”“We do not trust anyone right now” He sighed as if that should be obvious to me. “For all we know, you friend, Iris might be in on this.”“In on…” I sputtered. “Iris is not going to go along with getting my sister kidnapped. And why would she even do that?”“Like I said, the world is a dangerous place so pick up the damn phone?”I folded my arms across my chest and shot him a flat stare.“No and you are absolutely unbelievable.” I shook my head, my whole body trembling now. "I don't know what kind of world you crawled out of, Sergei, but where I come fro
