THE ONE EXCEPTION

I arrived at work with today's task on my mind. Everything I have to do feels like a heavy burden on my shoulders. I sat in front of my laptop to draft out something for the day. I'll go brief my boss about the day in ten minutes. I heard he's especially on edge today, one wrong move and you'll be scolded like never before. How is that even possible when he doesn't talk much?"Let's see what we're doing for today."I clicked a folder on my computer. Employment process and staff checks. The main goal is to fish out Thor's pawns and eliminate them. But how will I know when he always makes sure to avoid suspicion?I twirled on my chair as if it'll make my thought process faster, it did. I stopped and opened a new page on the computer, typed in childhood.Thor doesn't recruit loyal people, he recruits people he has something against. People with something to lose, people like me.He most likely forged their papers and childhood too. Everything will be cross checked for a week without maki

FOR SECURITY REASONS

GianneWe entered the departmental store, I stared at his back. The way he strides like a predator, I just know he couldn't trust me enough not to check me. Lucian is always on to something.The departmental store is bigger than the other ones I've seen. Amazing security products too. "How much is that camera?" I asked a staff member."It's our 2022 premium surveillance model. It has ultra-high resolution and can clearly identify subjects from up to 150 meters away with optical zoom. You can get it for seven hundred and fifty dollars.""Seven hundred and fifty dollars? What about a shocker? Something that can be easily disguised?" I asked."Do you have a stalker?" Lucian Blackwood asked.I didn't know he had been standing that close at all. "No. Not really, just for security reasons," I explained.He picked up the camera, turning it lightly as if that would reveal all its components. He placed it back on the shelf. "Go to the police if you have security concerns. I don't want you gett

PINNED MEMORY

Gianne I closed my eyes, pushing the thoughts away. I felt like I was in a void for a minute until I couldn't control my neck anymore and my head hit his shoulder lightly. My eyes opened halfway, cheeks flushed red from embarrassment as I planned my apology, but he held my head right in position so I could rest properly on his shoulder. The seat moved back a bit as I leaned against him. I closed my eyes again, planning to pretend I was still sleeping for just a few minutes. I kept at it for a few minutes until I lost track of time, when I opened my eyes again, they felt swollen. And my arms... They were around his neck. Holy s*** What did I do? I jumped up. Even he was asleep, I had startled him. His green eyes opened and he stared into my soul, the car hadn't moved. I double-tapped my phone screen to check the time, It's been over an hour. I've been sleeping in that position for over an hour, i covered my eyes in shame. I must have thought he was my teddy bear, a very ex

PINNED MEMORY II

Gianne "He can't be in there, right?" I screamed, slamming my hands weakly against the seat as I stared into the distance. The hotel was no longer in sight."The boss will be fine, ma'am. Just sit down." He held me in place, trying to calm me down, but I didn't believe him, even if I wanted to.I clutched the seat harder. I don't like getting to know people and losing them. I already lost my father, and I still feel tortured every day by the thought that I can never see him again."Let's go to the airport," the bodyguard ordered, glancing at his cellular device. No, I'm not going anywhere with people I don't know. Not without Lucian.I grabbed my phone and called his line. It was switched off. He never switches his devices off. Unless it was blown up."Go to the airport only if Mr. Blackwood is there. Otherwise, go to wherever he is," I barked at the chauffeur. He looked at us through the rearview mirror, trying to decide who to obey."To the airport, please," the bodyguard repeated,

PUT YOUR ENEMIES IN A RING

This couldn't be Thor retaliating. He definitely needs Lucian alive if he's risking positioning me inside his company. I still know he knows something. The sun had already set, and the streetlights were beginning to come on one after another. I didn't have much time left to sort things out.I walked down the sidewalk, acting nonchalant toward the bodyguard and chauffeur. The car followed me slowly. The chauffeur rolled down the window to speak to me, but I turned away."Don't say a thing unless it's good news."The car stopped. The bodyguard got out and grabbed my hand. "Ma'am, it's getting late." He held me firmly enough to stop me, but not enough to bruise my wrist."I'm waiting for someone. I have somewhere to be." I forced his grip loose and took two steps forward. Then I stopped, turned back, and opened the car door. Yes. He might have left something behind while I was busy getting distracted.I searched through the car, checking the seat pockets, beneath the armrest, and under t

THE LAST COUNTDOWN

LUCIAN I walked into the hotel lobby with my bodyguards. The man I'm meeting today is one of my strongest competitors. He's had his eyes on my companies for a long time. Violence was always a possibility."Stay with Miss Morgan," I ordered one of the bodyguards. He turned around and returned to her.According to my sources, a well-known mafia leader named Pierre had been seen with the man I'm meeting today. Did he really think propaganda alone would lure me here? My network reaches farther than he thinks."Make sure this place is private enough," I told the new bodyguard.I spoke clearly enough for everyone nearby to hear, but never louder than my usual tone. They could have planted bugs in the hotel. If they believed I was worried about my words getting out, I'd let them believe it.I was led into the private section. A glass of wine was placed in front of me. I put on my earpods and connected to Brooke, my favorite cousin. Becoming a hacker had always been her dream, and she was on

GHOSTS DON'T DRIVE

LUCIAN I covered my ears. We were far enough from the blast, yet the impact still reached us. A sharp ringing filled my ears, growing louder by the second. I kept pressing my palms against them, trying to get it under control.I got into the car, and we drove away from the scene.The bodyguard was still lying where we'd left him, groaning in pain. Before we left, I ordered my men to loosen the restraints around him. His brother would deal with the consequences of his own choices. Someone else would handle the rest. I loosened my tie, exposing my collarbone. Sweat clung to my shirt. This was the second shirt I'd soaked through today, and I hadn't brought another one. The ringing slowly turned into a pounding headache. "Drive me to the hospital," I instructed the driver. l'd been warned years ago not to get too close to explosions or ignore prolonged ringing afterward. I grabbed a bottle of water, took a few long drinks, then poured some over my face. It cooled me down, but the heada

AS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER

Gianne We turned on the news in the car. I was ready to track everything, just to know something. I held my phone in my hands, glancing at it multiple times. Then the evening news was delivered.Thor struck, i knew he had too much influence. I turned my head toward the window. Orion Kade took a turn, driving somewhere else and speeding up. I was too tired to question it, so I just sat there. Through the rearview mirror, I spotted a car following us. It was the same car we brought to the city."We have company." I crossed my arms, my eyes never leaving the rearview mirror."They've been following us for the past few hours. You didn't notice."So he knew and didn't say anything about it. We drove into the airport, and our car parked. Orion made a call for someone to take the car, and I followed him. Despite all my defiance about not coming without Lucian, I ended up here anyway.We reached the private jet, and Orion went in. I was still on its steps when I saw Lucian Blackwood getting

TROUBLE ON THE STOVE

Gianne I turned over in bed as I tried to find sleep before going about my day, but I couldn't because I had something to do. I got up, opened my Notes app, and studied what I'd written down. I didn't know if I should start this one yet. If I did today, I wouldn't be able to finish it. I went through my unfinished painting collection in my wardrobe. The last time I painted was in high school. I don't even tell people I paint. I took out one of my unfinished paintings and brought out my painting kit. Incomplete. I sighed. What was I expecting? This was the one my sister used last year. Orion's call came through."Hello.""Mr. Blackwood is participating in an orphanage charity event today. I have something urgent to do. I'll forward you the address. Come." He said it all in a rush before hanging up.I didn't know Lucian had something to do today. He didn't bother telling me. A charity event? I thought he was one of those selfish, cold billionaires. I slipped into something comfortable

THE ART OF SURVIVAL

Gianne I stood in front of the ingredients, sweat breaking out across my forehead. I made such a silly mistake calling myself the main cook. It's not like I can't do anything at all, but even I know my cooking skills aren't credible. It was going to taste like the sea.I started slicing a vegetable when the woman lifted an eyebrow.Am I not supposed to cut it? what is she doing? She gestured toward the board. Right, i had to write the dish I'll be cooking. What is the easiest thing I could think of?I counted the ingredients. There were more in stock too. I picked up the marker and wrote Marinated Chicken and Spaghetti and Homemade Apple Juice. At least one of them is easy.The lights went off, and the spotlight shone directly on us. All the attention shifted to me and what I'm doing. The camera zoomed in on my hands. I hope this isn't the end of me. I know what public embarrassment feels like. This shouldn't somehow become another problem attached to my name.My hands trembled sligh
