After two weeks I finished all my exams and the summer holidays I longed for were finally here, I could now finally return home and see my parents and little brother.For the past two weeks, Luke has been ignoring me and nothing has happened tome and my family, I had even almost forgotten about the bounty placed on me and my family. I gave up talking to Luke, I couldn't bear the embarrassment, he kept on treating me like a nobody and I was angry he lied that he cared about me. I regretted trusting him a little and believing his words."Why can't school just keep going on? I don't want to go home yet," Emily whimpered as we walked to my apartment. I was leaving my apartment today and going back to my parent's house for the holidays. People like Emily who were thrilled about school--not because of the learning and the educational activities, but the fun, parties and craziness-- hated holidays, while people who hated everything that had to do with school like me vacated immediately afte
Dakota's POVI woke up in a pitch-black room with a headache. I tried screaming but I realised that my mouth was covered and I was being chained to a large metallic pipe. Tears began to roll down my cheeks and I began to cry. I was scared of what was going to happen to me, I was afraid to die. How would my mom feel if I was not there for her?How would Kelvin feel if I died? I promised him that I would be there at his graduation, but now with all this happening I don't think I can make it to his graduation...How would my dad feel? I was sure that he wouldn't be able to get over it.How would Emily feel? I remember how we planned to do a lot of things later in future, but now all of that would not be possible...How were my parents now? How was my little brother now? Were they in the same condition as I was? I shut my eyes when I realised that they may be in a terrible situation than I was, they may be dead by now... Why was all of this happening to us?Luke!He promised to protect
LUKE POVMy phone rang and I picked up and checked the caller ID, it was X that was calling. I rolled my eyes as I picked up the call. "What's up?" I said into my phone and waited for her reply. "Why haven't you completed the mission? I expected you to do away with her and her family in a week, but now it's been three weeks and nothing has happened." She complained and I frowned. She thought it was an easy thing to kill a whole family without anyone suspecting that it wasn't planned. I was being cautious and tactful. This mission was going to take a long time for me to accomplish It."I am still working on it, it's not as easy as you think," I told her rubbing the tip of my nose. "You better act fast, the contractor is willing to pay more if you do the job fast." I folded my hand into a fist, I was angry that I was paid a small percentage of the initial money while the organisation took the bigger percentage when I was the one doing most of the work. The pay system worked like th
LUKE POV I entered the conference room where we normally held our meetings and it was empty. I sat down and waited for the rest to come. After waiting for ten minutes the conference room door opened and all the nine generals including Mia walked in in style. They all sat down and a grin appeared on my face as the air in the room became tense. I was sitting with the most powerful members of the organisation and the most brutal assassins in the country, yet I wasn't scared a bit. The generals were; Anthony Black a black American who was General Number Nine, had both genetic and body modifications, he was strong and very arrogant.John Grey was General Number Eight, and he wielded a katana, his skills followed up with his body modification made him exceptionally strong, but he had one problem he didn't know how to keep his mouth closed.Jennifer Jean who was General Number Seven, popularly known as J.J. was one of the most brutal amongst them. She wielded two cruelly shaped daggers
DAKOTA'S POV"What is he?" I asked without knowing it and they burst out into laughter."Someone is curious to know," he said and ran his fingers through his hair. My cheek still hurts from the slap he gave me and I was very angry at him for hitting me, but I wanted to know what they knew about Luke since Luke didn't want to tell me anything. "Tell her, boss," one of the masked men said, "I want to see how disappointed she will be when she knows the true intention of her boyfriend." "Luke is not my boyfriend!" I let out angrily but then I later felt regret for saying it that way, no doubt I had a crush on him but we had nothing going on between us and I could never imagine myself being with someone as dense as him."We don't care what he is to you," he said bringing his stupid face closer to mine. "Whatever," I rolled my eyes in disgust and he punched me in my face. I blacked out for some seconds and my ears began ringing. The impact of the punch made my head tilt the other way and
Justin's POVI just finished my exams and I was preparing to vacate for the holidays. I have already started packing some of my belongings in my two-bedroom flat penthouse that was a fifteen-minute drive away from campus.I was going to spend the holiday in Miami. I enjoyed going to the beach so I want to spend most of the holiday close to the beach. When I was done packing some of my clothes in my travelling bag my doorbell rang. I stopped packing my clothes and headed to the door. I wondered who it was, I didn't usually have any visitors.Maybe it's the caretaker, he normally comes here once a month and he has not come here since this month started.I checked who it was and then I saw a girl whom I recognised standing by my doorstep with a worried facial expression.I opened the door and she jumped when she saw me. "Hello," I let out still trying to figure out her name. I have seen her somewhere but I couldn't recall where I have. I met hundreds of people in school so I was findin
Justin's POV I had been waiting in front of her brother's school for an hour now and I noticed that there was a suspicious black SUV car parked a few meters away from where I parked.I checked the time on my wristwatch and it was about two minutes before the school closing bell would ring.I tapped my steering wheel rapidly with my fingers and I let out a sigh. Even though I had a train of thought and was worried about Dakota's welfare, I remained calm. I picked up my phone and called Tom, I was going to involve some of my colleagues. Tom was a senior police officer in my department and my very good friend. We have solved a lot of difficult cases together and he was also helping me investigate Luke.He picked up the call on the second ring and said immediately he answered the call, "It's been such a long time Mr Justin. How's your mission going?" He asked referring to the mission I was assigned to monitor a special threat; Luke. "Something came up," I said tersely into the phone. I
Justin's POVAfter following them for more than an hour they arrived at an abandoned neighbourhood and stopped. I made sure I maintained my distance from them so that they would not figure out that I had been following them all this while. They came down from the car and pushed Kelvin who was now blindfolded into a large dilapidated one-storey building.My phone rang and I checked who was calling, it was Tom. Maybe he had figured out something.I answered the call. "Hello, have you found out anything?" I asked immediately I answered the call with my eyes fixed on my windscreen monitoring the SUV car."Yes, we have," Tom said into the phone."Hit me.""We found out that a bounty has been placed on her and her family members by an unknown person. Jimmy is still trying to unravel who this person is but for now, there is no lead for who placed the expensive offer." Expensive offer? "What is the reward?" I asked Tom. "Fifteen million dollars. While twenty for anyone who can accomplish
