Somewhere I belong
Nicolas and Nolan clapped their hands admiring my idea. Marcus winked at me, which I found quite creepy, Harvey started grinning towards me like an idiot… Only Aya pretended to stay untouched with this situation, but even she decided to look at me without her usual cold expression. Hiro seemed to be enjoying the whole situation. Was I the only one who felt awkward?
Afterwards, Nicolas and Nolan talked about the technical details that needed to be arranged for this plan to work. I was still in a daze, trying to deal with the situation that my fictional scenario was now turning to a real life event, and I was witnessing it vividly.
At the end of the meeting Hiro assigned me to work with Nicolas to pick the best possible option to make the window explosion look more like it was caused by a constructional flaw. I couldn't believe it was all happening that fast…
The meeting ended and it was the right time to officially meet people I knew only from the p

I was exhausted after a whole day of using my creativity in more intense way that I had ever used while writing my novel, but I felt happy. I discovered that working for TK gave me something that I had never felt before, the feeling of being needed. I wasn't sure that any of my ideas would actually work in real life, but I chose to listen to Nicolas and his experience in that field. Still, I didn't know how should I feel about committing a crime… Should I call myself a villainess from now on?I could be certain of one thing, my life values and my definition of morality had changed drastically. The other strange thing that I found was that I didn't feel guilty with the idea of murdering someone. My brain prepared all kinds of justifications in advance, but what about after it would actually happen?I wanted to talk about it with Hiro, although he probably wouldn't understand my concerns. He lived in this cruel world far too long to put himself in a shoes of a clu
Embracing the Devil Headache...
I went down to Melisa's office once more, this time to tell her about Harvey. I didn't feel that he could actually be the mole, but everything around him fitted. He was level 4, he had all the necessary knowledge to give to Triads or Tsuchida… including now!“Melisa… what if he already told those people about the plan for assassination on Zhao Kang?!” I shouted, terrified after telling her everything I had heard from Mia.“Nicolas keeps tracking Zhao's movements, if there was anything unusual we would have heard about it. Until now, there were no changes,” she assured me.“Melisa… who else, except for those at the meeting will know about the whole plan now?” I inquired, since there must have been more people involved.“Well… those from intelligence get only parts of the entire plan, so none of them. Even when there are more men from the tactical group involved they also get partial inte
Embracing the Devil Confirmation…
I woke up in Hiro's arms, he was hugging me from behind, his scent was all over me. His grip was so tight, I could hear his heart beating. I couldn't stop myself from smiling foolishly. I missed that feeling… Up until that moment I never realized how much I yearned to feel it again…I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay in his grip as long as I could. The warmth of his body was intoxicating and with his every breath that I felt on my skin, the wave of shivers went through me, from head to toes. Suddenly, his breathing rate changed slightly, I figured he must have been waking up. Few seconds later he started kissing my back, my shoulders, and my neck. I instantly forgot that I was ever mad at him…My body started to tremble. His hands moved, delicately stroking my skin, and raising my excitement. I wasn't naked, yet I could feel his fingers like he was touching my skin beneath my shirt and underwear, it was electrifying. The moment I became
Embracing the Devil Instinct
“Mia..?” I asked with a trembling voice, trying to comprehend what was happening, “Why… are you inside my office?”She turned my way with a concerned expression. She was just about to put some tea cup on my desk.“I'm sorry!” she cried, “I think there was something wrong with the cheesecake I gave you… I took few bites and suddenly I felt sick… I thought you might feel like me, so I wanted to bring you some herbs for the stomach…”I walked closer and took the cup from the desk. It really smelled like herbs, so maybe she wasn't lying about that…“But why are you in my office…? I thought I closed the door…” I muttered, slowly regaining straight, after throwing up for the last ten minutes.“Oh… but the door was opened. That was why I went inside, but then I saw you weren't there, so I decided to make you some herb tea and leave&hel
Embracing the Devil Investigation...
I got back to my office, made myself a cup of coffee, and turned on my writer's brain. I started to ask myself what should a character in my novel do to steal files from someone's computer… Mia didn't seem like a hacker to me, but she didn't have to be, if I was already logged, and I was logged before. She wouldn't need my login and password, the computer would only ask for my thumbprint…“How could she get my thumbprint?” I pondered about variable ideas that I had seen in movies and TV series.The only option was to remove my print by some substance, and then transport it with latex, silicone, or other rubbery thing to create a fake fingerprint. But when was she able to get my print?!“Let's face it, Ana… You are an idiot!” I shouted, scolding myself.I remembered exactly the moment I let Mia use my computer and touch my scanner with both of her thumbs… She might have use the first one to take and trans
Embracing the Devil Ana, the spy...
I spent the entire morning and early afternoon on writing different scenarios inside my head. I couldn't completely ignore the danger surrounding my idea of following Mia to her meeting, but I was mad at Hiro too much to ask him, or anyone else from TK to help. Besides, who knew if there wasn't another person that helped Mia… That was the argument I used anyway.It was 4 PM and, thankfully, I was wise enough not to look through my door every two minutes to check if Mia was going out from the company, I used the surveillance. I sat behind my desk, prepared to leave at any time, and kept staring at the live footage from the cameras at the corridor. Finally, I saw her walking towards the elevator at 4:30… I waited until she got inside one and rushed with a tremendous speed after her, as soon as her elevator door closed.I assumed she got off at the level 0, I took a shot and went up there. In the meantime I wore my disguise. I put the cap on my head and lowe
Embracing the Devil Celebration...?
I came back to the headquarters with Jay. Both of us came down to the -10th floor to report to Hiro. He was waiting for us impatiently right by the elevator. As soon as the door opened, he grabbed my hand pulling me close and hugged me tight not caring about the few employees from special force unit and IT department that were on the corridor.“What were you thinking?! No wait… were you even thinking?!” he asked feverishly.“I'm sorry… but it worked out fine, right?” I smiled trying to calm him down.“Yes… but you shouldn't take that risk by yourself,” he hugged me even tighter.“I wouldn't have to… if you trusted me before…” I smirked.“Don't try to act smart, I won't let you off tonight,” he whispered to my ear.His way of acting made everyone around shocked. It probably was the first time that they saw their boss showing any kind of emotions. On

I rushed through the corridor towards my apartment. Hiro followed me.“Ana!” he called, but I didn't turn around and kept walking.I opened the door of my apartment, he run and shut it before I could enter inside, he stood there blocking my way in.“Ana, please… act reasonable…” he acted like he was trying to prove that my behavior was ridiculous.“Move away from the door,” I hissed, barely keeping myself from exploding.He stepped away, and I entered without saying a word. I closed the door. Some part of me hoped that he would try knocking, or just enter in… like he always did before, that he would try to explain, or to apologize…“Ana… you forgot that the word “sorry” doesn't even exist in his dictionary!” I corrected my naïve thoughts.My rational part of the brain was telling me that his plan was absolutely ingenious, and it was the
