It's been a week and Malakai and Eden had never been happier. They continued with their usual routines of their jobs, the orders and the killing. And when Eden would come back to report. she would get something as a reward. She would also spend a lot of time at Malakai's house. She tried to avoid talking to Alec too much since she knew he would go back to the topic of Malakai. Eden still had classes but not too many now since it was nearing the end of the year. It was all going smoothly. Until it wasn't. Eden was currently driving home from university, yes still Malakai's car, when she received a message from an unknown number. The message immediately made her pull over and grab her phone. "Hand yourself over or they die." Was the message and there was a picture of Eric and Sienna minding their own business in a cafe holding hands and waiting in line. They looked so happy. "Who are you?" Eden texted back. It was a little cliché but whatever. "You'll find out soon. I've bee
"I'm sorry Eden, I was trying to protect you and I know how impulsive you are, I thought that if you knew then you would really hand yourself over to save the two. I've been trying to find a different way." Malakai too stood up and explained. "You've actually been trying to help. You didn't just ignore the problem?" Eden stopped and asked Malakai with hope in her eyes. Malakai's been helping, he's not been sitting back doing nothing. "Is that what you thought? That I was ignoring it and it would go away? No baby. I've been trying to find a way without having to give you over and save the two. In fact, one of my best agents is trying to figure out who exactly Park worked with. Then one by one we'd eliminate them all." Malakai put his hands on Eden's shoulders and looked in her eyes, Eden could see nothing but honesty and hugged the ravenette. "I thought you didn't care. So you ignored it and made sure I never knew either." She said into Malakai's neck while hugging him. His hands wen
After a round of office sex, Eden decided she would go to actually see how Eric and Sienna were doing. Her back and legs hurt but she endured it and got into her car. The drive was about 10 minutes and soon she was knocking on their apartment door. Sienna opened it and smiled when she saw her best friend. "Nice of you to finally remember us." Sienna said and invited Eden in. "I always remember you guys, I've just been a little busy with uni and then work, and then Malakai.” Eden briefly said. Eric and Sienna knew about Eden's relationship with Malakai, they were the first she told. They were a little worried about her but mainly they were happy for her. Eden deserved to move on happily after Alec. She deserved something good. "Of course you were. How is Malakai by the way? We want to meet him." Eric said when he suddenly popped out of the kitchen. "I want you to meet too, I don't know I'll probably arrange something." She said as the three sat down together and caught up.
"I love you Eden." So he finally said it and the others' eyes widened. She didn't think he'd get a confession already. "I love you too Malakai." But nevertheless she still said it back, because even with the shock that came with hearing those words, she would never forget the pure feeling of love she had in her heart when she looked at Malakai. Malakai held the back of Eden's head and brought her into a heated kiss that took Eden's breath away. Whenever she kissed Malakai it was like the whole world around them faded and only they existed. She was high off Malakai's kisses and would never get tired of them. The kiss was passionate but fierce, slow but powerful. The perfect combination, just like Malakai was the fire and Eden was the ice to put out the flames. They pulled away and Eden instantly hugged Malakai and tucked her head in his neck inhaling his intoxicating scent. "Before you decided to love me Lix, I need to tell you how I even got here." Malakai whispered as he hu
"Malakai, we have a problem.” Said Aiden as he walked into the room, or more like ran. Malakai was sitting doing work and Eden was there too on her phone waiting for her boyfriend to be done. “Don't we always? What is it?” Malakai asked sarcastically, turning his attention to Aiden. “I was looking deeper into Mathew Park, because why not, and I found that he has a brother. And that's not the problem. The problem is that all these attacks that we’ve had, his brother has been behind them, he's the one ordering people around to take revenge for his brother.” Aiden explained. That's why no one revealed who’s been ordering people to kill Eden, it seems his brother wants revenge. “Okay. What else?” Malakai asked. He knew Aiden wouldn't come to him with no information and would have done his full research. “His name is Elijah Park. he has a girlfriend who is working with him, Serena Wolfe. He's taken over from his brother, he now controls the gangs and every other thing Mathhew has under

“Where the hell is she? It's been 2 hours and this was her idea.” Astrid said as she tried calling Eden for the 7th time. “I can't reach her either.” Sienna said, putting her phone away. The two were standing outside the club they agreed to meet waiting for their third friend, who was no show. This was really unusual of Eden, she was never this late to meet ups. “Oh, i know, our find my friend app, she has to have her phone on her at least.” Astrid said. “Wait, what if she's with Malakai? Call him.” Sienna said. Astried dialled her boss’ number and Malakai picked up 3 rings later. “Astrid? Something wrong? You never call me.” Malakai asked. He would usually send her missions and she would text back, calling was never a thing. “I was just wondering if Eden was with you. She's not here yet even though she was supposed to be 2 hours ago.” Astrid explained and Malakai got instantly worried, especially now knowing the existence of Elijah. “She left mine at 5pm, what the fuck do you
Malakai got into the back of the car with Eden, Astrid at the front with Sienna obviously driving. Malakai looked at Eden and got so damn worried. Whoever did this to her was going to pay in blood. “Go to the agency, we have an infirmary there.” Malakai told Sienna. “No, we could be followed. Elijah was trying to get the location of the agency and your house out of me.” Eden explained. “We’ll go to mine.” Astrid suggested and in another 10 minutes, they reached her apartment making sure they weren't followed. “I’m so sorry baby, I said I would protect you, and this is the complete opposite.” Malakai said, pulling Eden to his side kissing the top of her head. “It's okay, this wasn't your fault.” Eden said close to passing out again. They reached Astrid’s apartment and Malakai carried her inside, placing her on the sofa. He went to look out the window to see if they had been followed, thankfully there was no one, they were in the clear right now. Astrid was a trained first aide
