Loreen raised her brow at him and strolled past him into the room."When did you get those cool tattoos and why is your hair short?" Victor asked as he shut the door and locked it, then turned to her."I cut it." Loreen rolled her eyes and sat down on the white couch in the living room and crossed her legs. She folded her arms and lazily stared at him. "Let's get to business.""Your attitude certainly has changed, not even a bit." Victor shook his head and walked over to the table near the window, and opened its drawer. He pulled out a small bag that was suitable for carrying papers and ambled to the couch to sit down. Loreen straightened up immediately and gazed intently at the bag.Victor unzipped the bag and pulled out a stack of files that were tied with a slim white rope. He placed them on the mini table in front of them and dropped the bag beside him on the couch. "I didn't check it, so as of now I have no idea of what's written in there." He turned to Loreen and handed all t
She hurriedly left the apartment, leaving Victor, whose face was full of confusion with dilated eyes. She rushed down the stairs and ran out of the building. She boarded the car and sped off down the road at full speed. Arriving at the hotel in 20 minutes, she stepped down from the car and scurried into the facility. However, the receptionist told her that Adepe and Alex left a few minutes ago.Her eyes fluttered with guilt, and she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She dialed Adepe 's number but he didn't pick up and she tried two more times but he still didn't pick up. Was he angry with her? Loreen's face became awkward as she thought. She decided to dial Alex's number, and he picked up almost immediately.[Mrs. Loreen]'Where are you guys?' Loreen bit her lower lip with the back of her teeth as she asked.[We are at the company]'How?'[Oh don't worry, I called one of the men to bring another car for us since you took the one we came with]'Oh, I see... I will be there in-'[
The sun showed signs of setting, and Adepe retracted his gaze from the sky. He stood up from his chair and adjusted his suit as well as put on his gray mask, then he glanced at Loreen. "Let's go." He yanked his hands into his pocket and began to walk out of the office with Loreen and Alex following behind him.______From a tall building near the company, a man clad in a black hoodie and black sweatpants, with a mask covering half of his face, stood beside an MTS 116m suppressed sniper rifle, which is considered one of the deadliest weapons.He pulled out his vibrating phone from his pocket and picked up an incoming call.[How is it going?] A lady's voice reverberated from the other side of the phone."Ma'am, she's not yet out, but I think-" His husky voice sounded as he gave his reply, but before he could finish his sentence, his gray eyes spotted three people, two males and a female, walking out of the company building, and he immediately stuffed the phone into his pocket.He pos
She started the car's engine and raised the speed of the car as she sped out of the compound and onto the road. Her hands trembled on the steering wheel and she sniffed as uncontrollable tears fell from her eyes, which had become red as a result of crying hard. Her body shuddered, and she turned her head to glance at Adepe when she heard a low, painful groan from him. Her heart squeezed within her as she saw the amount of pain he was going through. This was all to protect and save her! She cursed herself in her heart and reached out her hand to grab him while controlling the steering wheel with her left. "Please do-don't leave me." She whispered and returned her eyes to the road ahead of them.*****The gate to the mansion pulled open, and she hurriedly drove in and parked the car. She stepped down and yelled for the bodyguards to give her a helping hand, and they rushed to her. They assisted her haul Adepe out of the car, and with both his hands placed on their shoulders, they he
Throughout the night, Loreen didn't sleep, and all she did was watch over Adepe and caress his hair that was scattered all over the bed, to calm him down when he started to sweat profusely as a result of the pain he was going through. She only got the chance to sleep at around 3 am when Adepe stopped sweating. The early morning sun rose in the sky, showering its rays through the huge glass window and into the room.When Loreen saw Adepe seated up with his hand clutching onto his stomach, which had the bandage wrapped around it, she immediately sat up from the bed.Her eyes blinked in shock as she stared at the bloody bandage, and she straightened up on her knees. She placed her trembling hands on his cheek and made him look at her. "Okay, you shouldn't sit up. Lie back down, let me help you-" She hadn't even finished her sentence when Adepe abruptly brought his feet down to the floor, ignoring her.She gazed at him, and her eyes blinked in confusion. Adepe stood up and walked str
Loreen walked straight to the dining room and met Adepe , seated on the head chair at the dining table with food placed in front of him. Her eyes fluttered as pain could be seen, suddenly appearing in them. Why? She had put her all into making that breakfast for him, but he rejected it. She raised her eyes and glanced at the maids standing beside Adepe , including Rita, and her pitch-black pupils viciously glared at them, indirectly telling them to get the fuck out. They nodded actively and hurriedly rushed out of the dining room. Loreen strolled to the table and pulled out a chair, then sat down on it.She interlocked her hands and stared at Adepe while he ate his food. "Ehem!" She cleared her throat to grab his attention, but he ignored her. He grabbed a cup of water to drink. However, her solemn voice sounded, halting him. "I am sorry."He raised his eyes to glance at her, and they blinked lazily when they saw the downcast expression on her face. He placed the glass cup on his
"I want you to hold me like you used to, please." She curdled in closer to him and sniffed, making Adepe realize that she was crying.His eyes flickered in confusion and he glanced at her. "Please, just hold me! I want to sleep in your arms, please." Loreen poured out everything she wanted to say without even knowing it. At this moment, she wasn't even listening to herself, but the only thing she was clear of was that she wanted him to hold her. She needed his comfort. She felt completely alone and empty.She sniffed and sobbed silently. Her eyes flickered when she felt no reaction from Adepe , and she proceeded to move closer to him, but her hand accidentally nudged on Adepe 's injury and his face grimaced a bit. She drew back immediately and glanced up at him. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to." She apologized and immediately turned around to
The shadow took two steps back as a result of the impact and coughed slightly. He patted off the dust on his body and adjusted his clothing.Alex raised his eyes, and his face darkened the moment they fell on the silhouette. His hands balled into tight fists and trembled. "Nirmolak!" His cold, chilly voice blended in with the wind howling around them as he gazed at a fine young man whose short hair was neatly combed back and brown flawless skin draped in white clothing.The shadow, who was naturally Nirmolak, shrugged and grinned with a leisurely look on his face. "Alex, it's been so long." He smirked as his pitch-black pupils stared at Alex, who was panting heavily as he slowly returned to his human form. "How have you been?"To calm himself down, Alex took a deep breath and brushed his hair back
