Chapter 30Song: Middle of the night by Ella Dunhe……..:……………………………..Malcolm POVShe looks peaceful when she isn’t trying so hard to fight me, and no one would ever think of her as a high end assassin that is brutal at what she does. Even on the chair her body looked stiff, her eyes were already dipping close. Even when I tried to Carry her she struggled in my touch.“Relax Maya, Im not going to hurt you.” I whispered and like a snake to the tune of a special flute she relaxed.I watched her from my side as her body relaxed on the mattress, her hair had unbunched from the tie that held it together and they sprayed on the bed. My eyes rested on her lips which were slightly parted and let out soft air, if she caught me right now I’m sure a knife will be on my throat.Turning away from her lips my eyes focused on her face, her brows were slightly creased but apart from that she didn’t look troubled. She stirred and her hands clenched around around the sheets on the bed like she was stru
Chapter 31Song: I see Red by Everybody Loves and Outlaw…………………………..Maya POV………………………….It was the day of the dinner and i hadn’t seen Malcolm since the day he had slept in my room. I rinsed my face and stared at my reflection in the mirror, and watched strands of my hair fall into my face, there was no need to get worked up about my appearance but one thing was permenantly etched on my mind. The feel of Malcolm’s body against mine, my grip around the sink tightened and my face turned red from the reoccuring memory.Thankfully the light buzzing of my phone echoed in my ears pulling me back to reality, i shut the bathroom door behind me and grabbed my phone on teh desk while i dried my face.“Agent-”‘Whats your status Kristoff?” Sergeant firm voice asked and i tried not to roll my eyes. “Its been almost two weeks since you reported back to base.”I tossed the towel aside and paced around the room while raking my hands through my hair. “I didn’t know you need my report seeing that
Chapter 32Song: Anchor by Novo Amor…………………….Malcolm POV………………..The sun was drizzling away behind the clouds and the soft colors of orange and yellow danced around in the sky and soft evening breeze pushed across. Working for Lucas family is one of the toughest things ever, and since his text came in, i’ve been on the clock every since then. “You look really tired Malcolm, want to come to my room to rest?” Gwen’s slutry voice drawled from behind me, my skin crawled at the sound of her voice. Mr. Satiago had made sure that i remained around the premises after my initla call, he was on the phone and i had to wait for him to be done before i could enter and now, Gwen had found me.“I’m fine on my own Gwen.” I muttered turning to face her. Her hands were propped umder her chest which was barely covered in a silk robe and her eyes trailed over me. “You should also get ready, your father won’t be happy to see you here.” I reminded and her face turned sour, Gwen just like Lucas had a fe
Chapter Thirty-ThreeSong: Senorita by Camilla Cabello………………………………………Maya POV……………Even though i couldnt see him, i could feel his eyes on me. Lucas warm hands kept my head at bay and even while the butler greeted us as we climbed up the steps into the house, i couldnt help but suck in my breath and keep my eyes forward. I hand’t been able to attend large dinner parties like this, not especially with my line of work. It was either me snipping someone from another building while they were in such a gathering or keeping a look out for an ambush. Today it was quite the opposite as i was introduced to a household i wasnt familiar with and this proved to eb dangerous.From the hanging chandeliers to the tall windows which had heavy curtains with unique embroidery work on it edges, the lights were sharp golden yellow and when the doors closed behind me, it dawned on me that there was no getting out. My hands curled by my side squeezing the pouch in my free hand. Lucas had stopped walkin
Chapter 34Song: Greedy by Tate McRae……….Malcolm POV………….That red dress. It was taunting me and I didn't like it. Even when I watched her and Lucas talk to John, my eyes couldn't leave her body for one second. Now she was this close to me and her scent filled all of me. My hands held unto her with no intention of letting go. “I think they're gone now, you can let me go.” she stated, her voice coming out as soft whispers. With one last glance at her face, she held my hands and gently pried them away from her waist. We walked side by side back to the main dining hall where everyone except Mr. Satiago was already waiting. We stood and waited and when the double doors from the other end opened, everyone’s attention fell on the man that walked through it.The place was silent as everyone waited to hear him speak.“Welcome, Family and invited guests. Please have your seat.” he said and i made sure Maya was away from the middle of the table, it was the worst place to sit in this househo
Chapter Thirty FiveSong: Water under the bridge by Adele……………………………………….Maya POV…………..One of the things we were taught back at the association was to conceal our feeelings and show off what our targets wanted to see, this means that we could make up stories and have them displayed to them as we wished.My hands curled around the stem of the glass as i took a light sip to stay in character. “Of course, lets eat.” The table is filled with several variety of food and as i inspect everyone of them, heavy eyes were on me. I turned to Malcolm who had just given my hands under the table a gentle squeeze. It surprised me that he didnt try to speak to me espceially when questions where thrown my way.“So- Anya, tell me. Where did you grow up in?” John asked, whatever his plans were it was not good and he was constantly trying to put the attention on me.“I dont see how it matters to you John, leave her alone.” Lucas stated while slicing the steak on his plate.“You were oddly quiet befor
Chapter Thirty-Six \\ Explicit sceneSong: I wanna be yours by Artic Monkeys…………………………………………..Maya Pov…………The rest of the night went by in a blur, everyone left and i didnt get to see Lucas after. Malcolm asked me to wait by his car while he finished off somethings.“So you’re Malcolm’s girlfriend-” The boy who sat next to Donna said and my hands curled around my sides, he didn’t have the cold rude stamina of his father, he had his hands tucked in his pockets as he turned to me.“Miss Anya, can i call you Miss Anya?” he asked and i nodded with a smile. “I’m really sorry about my dad- he can be quite hard on people who feel like a threat to him especially on people who Grandpa seem to like more.” the boy said and my jaw dropped, he was a teenager who could read people quite well, he didnt hide to talk about his father’s weakness with a stranger.“Yes, you can call me Miss Anya but you dont have to say such things about your dad to someone you barely know.”“Why not? Its the truth,
Chapter Thirty-SevenSong: Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande……………………………………………..Maya POV…………..His hands were on his thighs the entire ride back to the hotel, his grip on the steering wheels was unnecessarily tight and he had not said a single word since we got to the car. I managed to push what had happened back at Lucas's house behind me as there was nothing more to look forward to, my words had made him release me back then like he had come back to his senses.Great job Maya, saying cras things like that. I sighed in relief when we reached the underground parking lot. Without wasting time, i detached the seatbelt and walked out of the car without waiting for Malcolm, if it was anything i just wanted to disappear. He caught up with me in the elevator, but said nothing as the door closed. The silence was deafening and i feared that he heard the beating of my heart. My eyes drifted back to my purse which was tucked in between my hands and my phone which was in the other. The doors
