Malakai was pacing in the hospital as Astrid sat down on one of those horribly uncomfortable chairs waiting for a doctor. It had been an hour since Eden was rushed to the hospital, seeing her unconscious on the club's floor sobered Malakai up completely so he was capable of driving. I think. He still had to drink some water while driving though. Astrid went with since after seeing the sight of Malakai and that girl, he didn't trust Malakai near Eden in this state. Thankfully the doctor came out soon and the two went to her quickly. "Family of Eden Salvatore?" She asked and the two replied that Malakai was her boyfriend and Astrid her sister. The two were close enough to be sisters anyway. "Eden is okay, her mind shut down due to shock and her body was temporarily paralysed also from shock. The bruising and the cuts on her also made her weak so that contributed. From what you told me, you caught her before she hit the floor which is very good since it could've caused a concus
Eden released a breath she didn't know she was holding. She looked at her hand and remembered Malakai's words. 'Never forget that.' She could never forget Malakai's love for her. It was his love that made her the happiest she could be in such a short time. However, at the same time, she couldn't get the image of Malakai kissing someone else out of her head. That someone else being her ex and a person who claims to still love her after 3 years. This was all so much to deal with. So much that Eden started crying. The tears she held in for so long were finally flowing down her cheeks as she wiped them. She remembered more of Malakai's words. 'Your freckles are stars Eden. All the stars couldn't fit in your eyes so they spread across your cheeks' The memory made her cry even more. Astrid came back in and saw the blond in tears and came to hug her, Eden hugging back. "Oh Eddie. Shh, everything will be okay." Astrid comforted but it made Eden sob even more. Will everything rea
"Cut my big brother some slack, he loves you." What the fuck? Fantastic, now Eden was being haunted by the ghost of her boyfriend's sister. Astrid saw the shock and grabbed her phone. "Please don't pass out again." She said when she saw Eden's face which was completely frozen as were her hands. "I won't. I think. Astrid, what the hell is this? I can't deal with all this in one day." She's supposed to be dead, why was she texting her. "Ignore it for now. Okay? You need to not concentrate on these things. Let me see the profiles Malakai said, we can go murder people instead. How does that sound?" Eden laughed at Astrids words and nodded. The youngest always found a way to make Eden laugh and she was glad because she needed it. A few hours had passed and Eden and Astrid had eliminated 3 out of 6 people on their list. Fraudsters, drug dealers and a stupidly rich CEO were now crossed off. They now had a gang member, another CEO and some political leader left. Eden thought al
"These what ifs are getting us nowhere. Why don't we try finding out hmm?" Malakai nodded and started typing out a text. "Li-li?" He said and Eden smiled. That must've been Malakai's nickname for her, it was adorable. "Kai?" The reply was almost instant like she was waiting. That's why Malakai loved it when Eden called him Kai, his sister used to call it him too. Not many people call Malakai Kai, probably only Eden and Alec. Eden had her arm around Malakais neck since her legs were over Malakai's lap so she could see. Without hesitation, Malakai clicked the 'call' button and waited for a few seconds before Lilith picked up. "I-is it really you?" Malakai said, the tears in his eyes building up. "Yeah." That single word response made Malakai sob out in relief, the tears freely flowing through his voice. "I'll see you soon big brother." Lilith said and hung up. What? Soon? Lilith texted and called to let them know she was alive. That was the only explanation Malakai had.
2 days later Eden and Malakai were the best they could've been. They still had some answers they wanted but other than that, it didn't seem like anything was getting in the way. But of course luck was never on their side. "Have you asked Alec why he kissed you yet?" Eden asked randomly as she was lounging in Malakai's office on her phone. "No, but I didn't think I needed to. He apologised." Malakai said without looking up at his girlfriend and that agitated Eden. "There was a reason he kissed you, yeah he apologised but that's not an explanation. Haven't you ever heard the saying 'drunk words are sober thoughts?'" Eden continued and Malakai still hadn't looked up. "That doesn't prove he had a motive. He was drunk out of his mind Eden, we all were." Malakai's eyes were flicking to the documents in front of him and his laptop and not once to his lover. "He kissed you with something in mind, but you're obviously not getting that." Eden was getting annoyed now and the other wa
"I'm not a psychopath. I'm a high-functioning sociopath." Eden said, correcting her. She struggled a little as the woman tried to get free but she got her to the balcony. "Now I would love to cut you up in pieces and send you to my boyfriend so I could get a reward, but he's being an asshole to me right now. Also I'm supposed to make your 'fall' look like an accident." Eden held her arms and smiled like a maniac. The woman was shaking and whimpering, scared for her life. "You know, when you're in a relationship, your boyfriend isn't supposed to ignore you is he? Like I want attention, is that so hard to get? Am I right?" Yes, Eden was still pissed at Malakai. The woman violently nodded answering Eden's question. She was confused on why she was making conversation with her though. "Okay whatever, I'll ignore him right back, see how he likes. And your time has come to an end. Say hi to the grim reaper for me." Eden pushed the woman over the ledge, making her fall at least 20 ft
It was all a blur for Eden. She passed out as soon as she felt her boyfriend's arms catch her. She was losing blood quickly. Alec cursed out loud, seeing Eden like this hurt him too, a lot more than he thought. But Kai wasn't in the right state of mind right now, so he had to take over. As soon as Malakai had come to his senses again, he picked up the blond haired girl and rushed her to the infirmary. Astrid ran to her side, trying to stop the blood. Another nurse attended to Ethan. "Kai, please, we need you to leave. We can't work like this." The nurse had said, and Astrid agreed. "Yeah, Malakai. Sorry, but we need you out." Astrid said and motioned for Alec and Aiden to get him out. It was hard to get him out, but they managed to somehow. The raven haired house paced the halls outside the infirmary, head in his hands as he kept cursing. He turned to Alec, who could so clearly see the pure pain visible in his eyes. Eden was shot, but Malakai felt like he was the one who was d
The next day after breakfast, Malakai and Eden went to the agency together and Malakai called everyone to his office. By everyone I mean Eden, Alec, Astrid, Aiden and Ethan, and a couple other agents, Ten, Ambrose, and Jules. "Okay, last night a threat form Elijah was sent in again. I asked for a lockdown, so tell me. Is there anyone that went out this morning? I need them here." Malakai spoke with a cold, serious face. His demeanour quickly turns dark as soon as he goes boss mode. Eden found it amazing. How Malakai was so soft and caring with her. But as soon as he switches to boss mode, his aura goes dark and dangerous. Almost scary for Eden. It was hot, but scary. "Sir, Rhys went out this morning. He said he had a mission. I'm not sure what it was and it wasn't on his record. But he wouldn't say exactly what his mission was." Ethan said. "I haven't given him any missions for the past week. And neither has Alec." said Malakai, concern evident on his face. Malakai deep in
