Malakai on the other hand was raging but he hid it so well. How can Eden just disobey him like that? This whole job was based on orders. He'll admit, Eden was the only one who would do something like this. Even Alec follows his orders, no questions asked. He wouldn't ever think of disobeying Kai. But Eden just had to be different. Eden was quite different from when Malakai first met her, she'd changed, maybe for the better since there was no more nice, innocent Eden who hated how vulnerable and weak she was. Now she was strong, confident, powerful and not so scared. For that reason, Malakai didn't regret making her into what she was, until now when Eden disobeyed him. He couldn't care less about the client; it was about orders. If orders weren't followed, it would be an issue in the future. It's happened before. He had an agent who didn't follow orders and soon went rogue, also trying to kill Malakai but he was the one who died instead. Which is why he needed to make sure everythi
Malakai put his phone down after speaking to Eden who did exactly what Malakai thought he would. Malakai sent over a cleaning crew and sat down on his seat in the office. One day. Eden had annoyed him so much in the space of one day. The whole thing with Jisoo, going against his orders, taking his gun and now this. Killing the CEO of Kang Ind. Could Eden do any worse. She probably could, Malakai won't underestimate her but he could only pray that Eden would behave. It's been an hour since he's sent the cleaning crew and Eden never showed up. He looked to his right and saw the drawer that Eden broke into. He was quite impressed at how easily she did it. But then he looked carefully and his gaze landed on the floor. The earring Eden used. She must have dropped it, too concentrated on the gun. Malakai picked it up and looked at the back of it closely. It wasn't an ordinary earring, it had a knife-like back, like a hidden weapon. Cleaver. That's why Eden got in so easily. Malakai coul
She walked over to him and put a hand on Malakai's shoulder and gave him a silent 'it'll be okay' and Malakai nodded. "Can I take your gun again?" Eden asked to change the subject, but she really did want it. Malakai turned and furrowed his eyebrows. "No." He simply said and Eden pouted. "Maybe." Malakai then said once he saw the look on Eden's face and gave in. Eden's eyes lit up at the response. "I promise It'll be fine. I killed Kang with it, and it was such a perfect shot. So smooth a quick. I loved it." Malakai smiled seeing Eden talk about his gun like a kid who got a new toy. "Stop looking at me like that." Eden suddenly said. "Like what?" Malakai asked, confused. "Like you're showing emotion." Malakai raised an eyebrow and shook his head at the blond before sitting back down to do some work. But that was near impossible with Eden. "What are you doing?" Eden asked when she came round to Malakai and looked at his laptop. "Work. Which is also what you're supposed to be d
Like Eden said. It was easier said than done. A lot easier. It's been a week, Eden had been on a few missions and as always, she had to report back to Malakai. Malakai hadn't tried or done anything since that day but he still had that look in his eyes that Eden tried so hard to ignore. Normally you'd be scared shitless looking into eyes that held nothing but a black, empty, endless abyss. But Eden? Yeah, she'd see the abyss, but she would also see lust. Desire. And that's what scared her. Trust her, she would love to give in. But she knows Malakai wouldn't. He doesn't do feelings. Love. Relationship. Emotions. All he would want is a good fuck no strings attached. Eden wanted more. And so, she wasn't going to give in and allow herself to be hurt. Right now, she was in university for a lecture, exams were over, but professors had already started on the next and final year projects and topics. It was a little annoying since Eden felt like she deserved a break. But nope, and she could
"What the hell do you do all day?" Eden asked and Malakai looked up. "Work." He replied and Eden so badly wanted to roll her eyes, but had a feeling Malakai would call her out for it. "What if I took your laptop off you?" Eden challenged and Malakai sat back. "You wouldn't get very far before I throw a dagger at your neck." Malakai said with a glare. "Try me." Eden knew saying that was probably a mistake but whatever. She went over to Malakai and showed him the news, he didn't have time to take a picture but it was all over the news anyway "You really won't tell me what she did?" Eden said and Malakai's glare hardened. "You know the rules, Eden." He said and Eden sighed with a fake smile. "I know, don't ask questions. I just thought you would at least tell me." Eden said quietly and Malakai gave her a confused look. "Why would I do that?" Malakai said and Eden felt so frustrated. And sad. She thought she meant something to Malakai. How naive she was. "Never mind. See
"I want your gun." Eden immediately said when she walked in. "No." Malakai said with zero hesitation. He was sharpening his knife like a true psychopath. "You said I could. Just for one or two jobs. Please. Give me your gun." She repeated with a pout and Malakai looked up at her. "Which one?" He smirked and Eden blushed a hundred shades of red. "Fuck you. I want your gun." Eden said, flipping the ravenette off. "Again, which one." Malakai said again and continued with his knife. "I'll get it myself then." Eden walked over to the same drawer to find it locked again. She was about to remove her earring until Malakai spoke. "The keys are right in front of you." Malakai said and Eden let out a little 'oh' before getting them and unlocking the drawer. And there it was. Honestly, why did Malakai keep it hidden, if it was Eden's, she would use it every chance she got. "Happy?" Malakai asked and Eden nodded her head like a child getting a cookie. "Very." Malakai shook his he
Eden didn't even have to wait 5 minutes before her cousin’s car pulled up. She got in and the two went to buy exactly what Eden wanted. Ice cream and cake. Red velvet. The best there is in Eden's opinion. They drove in silence to Eric's apartment and the older understood Eden may want some time to collect her thoughts. Once they arrived, Eden threw herself on the couch and the waterworks started again. "My baby." Eric went to hug his little sister and tried to comfort her as much as he could. "H-he's back. I mean he was always there but I saw him again today and- and Malakai lied t-to me. He didn't l-lie but he kept it from me and- and-" Eden was rambling, her thoughts a mess and Eric stopped her from saying anymore. "Hey hey. It's okay E. Calm down and then we can talk." Eric said and Eden nodded, taking the glass of water Eric was offering her. After 5 or 10 minutes, Eden had completely calmed down and she was now huddled into a ball, her head was in Eric's lap while he ca
Malakai was right when he said the day was a shit show. CEO Park was involved in some sketchy shit and when Eden killed him, his people found out and are now a threat to the agency and anyone else they find guilty. That could mean Eleanor. Why didn't Eden listen to him? Why did he let Eden do what she wanted? Why didn't he stop her? So many questions and little to no answers. How the hell was he supposed to fix this now, he had to protect his agents somehow. He's not letting Eden escape this one. So he picked up his phone and dialled her number, and as expected, she didn't pick up. Eden was most likely still mad at it and Malakai really can't blame her. Maybe a little. But he knew he himself was at fault for making Eden mad at him. He shouldn’t have kept Alec from her, not after knowing everything they had been through together. So he called Alec. No answer. Seriously, today of all days they were both ignoring him. Malakai sighed, he was tired, annoyed and pissed. He opened up
