It was easy to look for those two lackeys. After Kendall pinned me on the location, everyone in the house was asleep. I ensured Persephone had fallen asleep before driving to the bar nearby.I pretend to grab a midnight drink when I spot the two Order lackeys laughing and making out at the corner with women on their laps.I wanted to puke, but I had to be sure they were drunk before I got the chance to grab them. I made eye contact with the women on their laps. They nod their heads as I mimic in response. Although it disgusts me that they are with some random women, these women aren't ordinary people.Odin owns The Daggers, a group of secret agents that my team and I belong to, along with others. We are different from other agents because Odin himself chooses us.We are trained harsher and more fiercely because we are licensed to kill on contact without anyone realizing we exist.Sasha and Teagan are part of the Daggers, and I had asked them for this favor to get the Order men lackeys
Grab the bucket of water and throw it at the two lackeys for them to wake up. They woke up instantly, confused and unaware of where and why they were tied up."The fuck!" Lou spat, shaking his head."What the fuck happened?" Eddie spits water out, and then his eyes glare at me. "You?"I glance down at my water and cross my arms. "Glad you guys woke up from your beauty sleep."Eddie snarled at me. "You splash water on us. Why are we tied up?" He struggled but wouldn't budge since they were both straps with steel cuffs. It can only be opened if you know the code."Oh, fuck," Lou sniffs around. "Shit, Frankie, you smell like piss."Eddie stuck his nose, sniffed his surroundings, and made a sour face. "Did you fucker pour piss on us?"I grin. "Well, it's not mine if that's what you think. Think of the curtsy from the bar manager for causing a ruckus and being so touchy with the ladies.""Those ladies are with you?" Frankie screeched to the point.Female laughter and giggles approach behin
This has been more awkward than before.Two weeks have passed since I almost violated Seth because of the drug and killed those two Order lackeys. That night, I drove to the agency and the gym to blow off steam.I knew my life as a hitman wouldn't be easy, especially for those who entered my life were important people.I hear noise from the men as they gather, talking. I pull my sunglasses slightly down for my eyes to see as I glance at where Seth and the men are. I observe his naked chest as it flexes every time he moves. His bare chest was visible to my naked eyes, and I couldn't help but stare at them. He and his brothers probably worked together; otherwise, they wouldn't resemble Chip N' Dales from Las Vegas. All they are missing are the neck bow ties and speedos.My whole body started to shake, and my breathing was panting; picking Seth with a bow tie and speedo and an oily body made me think dirty thoughts. Every inch of my body starts to heat up, not because of this warm weathe
"Oh my god, Terry," Jordan spoke out. "That was badass. The way you handle that. Wow!" "Not only that, you showed that female employee and small manager who's boss," Thea adds. I smile with a hint of blush. Persephone appears by my side, holding Zara. "I don't understand; what the hell was going on?" Ask Ares, who he and the other boys don't know what's happened. "All that woman did was ask our order?" "Ares, we're you hit in the head with a rock," Jordan spat out. "That female employer, Paula, was hitting on you." "She was?" He pulls on a goofy grin. "Ugh! You aren't the only one she hit on. She was trying to get to the package deal with you men," she huffed and planted her hands on her hips. "She was trying to get gang banged." "Jo!" Thea screeched, covering the ears of her son. Lily, Claire, and Sam did the same. Persephone covered Zara's ears at the same time I covered hers. "Children are present." "I'm sorry, but that bitch had it coming." Her arms were now crossed over he
I stayed in my room for the past two days, and this vacation is slowing down time. I allowed Persephone to go with Effie and enjoy a water park close to the resort, another of Odin's projects called the Seven Seas Water Park. He wanted to match the Trident Resort.I didn't go because knowing everyone was going meant Seth would be there. This is a family vacation with the Reids plus friends. It would be more awkward between Seth and me if I were to go. And now that his brothers seem to misunderstand, they will tease him, and I don't want to add more oil to their jokes when I'm around. The last thing I want for Seth is to be embarrassed.Last night, Kendall sent me a confidential file on Persephone's DNA. I didn't get the chance to open it because of my emotional breakdown, so I used an excuse to stay behind and not be charmed by Effie's art of persuasion, which finally won over her.I am sitting on the couch and opening up my laptop. I open up my email and click on the latest message.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" Ask Persephone once she takes a bite of her Belgium waffle, chewing like a rabbit.I giggle, thinking how adorable she looks like a chipmunk."You're acting weird."I wasn't concerned about her calling me weird, but it only made me smile and giggle.After I learned, my daughter has been with me the whole time. Alive and well, I couldn't help but smile. Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the sudden news Persephone is my daughter. At first, I didn't want to believe it and went out to clear my head until the sun rose. I thought about what Odin had said to me and to give me time to prepare mentally. It is still quite a shock, but she's my daughter. I'm new to parenting and will learn throughout the process, but I can't tell her she's my child. I am still waiting for the right moment. I want to spend time with her and get to know her. I can not believe meeting my daughter after thirteen years can be overwhelming and nerve-wracking. What can we talk ab
"Here, Terry, take these," Lily hands me painkillers. I pop two in my mouth."Thanks," I smile weakly at her."Terry? Um...he should be in the restroom.""Who is Jo talking to?" Ask Thea through the loud noise from the hand dryer."It's Seth," Lily said, and she could see the worries on her face.I hear Seth's voice echoing in this small public restroom as I listen to the conversation."He's not in there. Earlier during the drive here, I saw he looked pale. Is he okay?"For being ignorant, he still worries for me. I couldn't help but smile inside. I thought he would ignore me forever after what happened. Seth isn't the kind of person to look the other way whenever someone he cares about is sad or hurt.That is one of the things I like about him."Well, we all saw he went to the restroom. How could he leave and disappear?""That is why I'm asking you, girls. Poppy is worried about him."Persephone!I want to push open the door, but Effie stops me from leaving, shaking her head. My unde
"Sully Vonner! Get your fucking ass out here now!" I scream at the top of my lungs as it waves my anger and rage. I'm itching to cut the fucker in half and his men.The first door that opens, Sully steps out from the room on the second floor. He approaches and stops in front of the rail."I guess five men can't take down a simple man," he seems disappointed as he yells at his men. "Are you all fucking weak?!""Where is Persephone?" I ask, growling from the pent-up rage inside."Don't worry, and she's asleep in the room."I clench my fist. "If you touch her, I will cut both of your hands off."Sully leans against the rail, flashing a smirk as if the threat doesn't intimate him."I can see why you're called Odin's Shadow because you are nothing but a shadow for a man who can turn the world upside down." He starts to say. "You are doing the dirty work for the old bastard.""Don't talk about Odin like that! He isn't like you, a sick fucker who sodomizes younger boys for pleasure. Tell me,
