Sixty-Two
The moment my eyelid rose, I carefully got out of bed because I didn't want to wake Aria, got dressed, and headed back to my room.
Once I got inside, I took out my phone from my pocket and went straight to my call history, realizing that I had seventeen missed calls.
The majority of them were from my uncles and I supposed they heard about what had happened yesterday concerning the shooting and uncle Miles and they wanted to annoy me with their crazy suggestion to leave or die.
The last thing I wanted after walking up to an amazing morning was to hear these old crooks' voices, so I scrolled through all of their numerous calls and stopped on Tony's missed call.
After dialing his number, I waited impatiently for a coup

When my uncles left the office, I paced back and forth in the room, unable to restrain the feeling of anxiousness coursing through me. Nothing was adding up, and everything wasn't making sense, and now that Uncle Miles was gone too and Aria and I got attacked yesterday, my feeling of fear was at maximum level. After walking about the room like some madman, I finally took a seat behind my desk and stared blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, my phone started vibrating, and I pulled it out of my coat pocket, staring at Aria's name blinking on the screen. Immediately, I answered the call and rested the phone against my ear, listening as she said, "Good morning, Mr. Ghost. Can you tell me why I woke up to an empty bed?" It took me a moment to process those words because, with everything that had happened, my mind was a bit disturbed. Letting out a sigh, I rested back on my seat and shut my eyes before mumbling, "I'm sorry. I had to get to the office and the news that I met here isn't go

*********Lilith POV******* As I walked past the mirror, I took a glance at my reflection and tried to smile, but my lips rebelled against me and I frowned at my image. Last night was beautiful and passionate, and I woke up feeling amazing. But after my talk with Atlas and hearing the depression in his voice, I don't feel so great anymore. All that I could think about now was how depressed he must be over another death of his uncle caused by me. It sucks to think about it, and I felt miserable with myself. Years ago, I chose this life of an assassin, thinking that I was over with love, emotions, and humanity in general. But Atlas ruined that for me in a good way, and now I am having thoughts about marriage and babies. Something that I would have rolled my eyes at in the past. But now, is that even possible between Atlas and me? I want to think that it could be and love could erase the blood that I have spilled in his family. But let's be honest, Atlas wouldn't feel the same way

Staring at Mr. Shadow, I didn't need to ask how they knew that Atlas and I were together. One billion dollars, of course, Jacob will sell me out for such an amount. No matter the years of memories we had shared for most of our careers at the organizations, money still beat that, and that's why it's the root of all evil. "Why are you not saying anything, Lilith?" Mr. Shadow asked, his face hardened into a frown. What was I supposed to say, lie about my relationship with Atlas in hopes that it would save me from getting kicked off the mission and possibly stop me from losing my job? Even if I cry a river of tears and Mr. Shadow somehow believes my lie, what would be my excuse for leaving the mission later on since Victor has already threatened me? At this point, I was trapped without any escape plan. I could not keep working on the mission or stay with Atlas because of Victor, and if I forced it and he told on me, the organization and Atlas would be at risk. My hands were tied, an

The moment I got to the mansion and inside my room, I took my suitcase out of the closet and laid it on the floor. Then I started stuffing all my things in it, crying my eyes out as the suffocating feeling that I felt grew intense and unbearable. It was heartbreaking to say the very least that this was how our story ended, and yet, this ending was known to me from the moment I felt my heart beat for Atlas. Suddenly, my room door opened, and I was surprised to see Atlas walk into the room, his face calm as he stared back at me. Neglecting to pack my suitcase, I stood from the floor and approached him, swallowing hard when our eyes locked. After looking into my eyes, he grabbed onto my waist, pulled me against him, and tenderly caressed his fingers against my cheek. For a moment, just for a minute, I felt a sense of calmness as I drowned in the comfort that his embrace gave me. “You are packing? Where are you going?" Atlas whispered, gazing deep into my eyes. "Or are you just plan

*********Atlas Pov******* After arriving at my room, all I felt was raw rage as I paced around the room. Then I stopped at my nightstand, picked up the lamb, and tossed it at my mirror, watching it smash into it, and the glass shattered into pieces. My heart hurt more than my anger would allow me to acknowledge. But I felt broken over the fact that happened to us. How can you go from loving to hating someone because the truth is that I don't know that Sensing the rise in my heartbeat, I grabbed my pillow off the bed, tossing it to relieve myself from the anger burning in me. But it only made me annoyed when it landed on the floor. After everything we have shared and been through, she lied to me and trampled on my emotions. Everything about her, including her name, was a lie. It felt frustrating to know that I was in love with a stranger all along. Even though that was our actual case, I thought that I knew her and that our feelings for each other were real. But just like everythi

The room remained silent for a while as I continued to stare at Lilith, wondering if all answers were going to be sincere or not. Even though I had so many things to ask her, my first question was, "When did you realize that my uncles wanted to kill me?" For a moment, she said nothing and simply stared at me with gentle eyes. Then she finally sighed and said, "The first time we met. The guy that entered your room that night and tried to assassinate you was an assassin hired by Lex to kill you after he had gotten you wasted with alcohol." Even though I refuse to say it out loud, it seems logical now that I think about it. Uncle Lex really wanted me to get drunk that day and he was oddly persistent about me drinking and not a Lilith. Also, he was kind of a bit weird when Aria asked him if he knew the guy. "So you killed Lex based on some random stranger entering my room and trying to kill me. It could have been anyone who wanted me dead and paid that guy to do it." I asked, raising

Dragging his gaze away from me, Victor scratched his arm and mumbled, "What do you mean by how well do I know Aria? Wait, who is Lilith?" From his expression, I couldn't tell if he seriously didn't know her actual name, if that's her actual name, or if he was just trying to play dumb to through me off topics. Right now, I don't even know who I should be trusting because my entire life has been built on lies. "Aria, how well do you know her?" I repeated myself, holding back my anger. With his head stuck to the left, he kept himself from looking at me and said, "How should I know? You were the one who accepted her into this house, made her your bodyguard, and fell in love with her. I should be the one asking you that question." "Is that so," I mumbled, losing grip of my anger slowly. "Look at me, Victor!" For a moment, he didn't move. Then Victor gradually turned his head and faced me before mumbling, "What is this about, Atlas? I don't know Aria more than you do!" But he was no

Avoiding the sunlight, I rolled over in bed, kicking the bedsheet off me. From the moment Atlas left my room, I had not been able to put my mind at rest or get a night of proper sleep. Shutting my eyelid, I allowed myself to drown in the pain from the hurt that I felt and feel every tiny bit of guilt. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on my room door, and I forced myself to open my eyes. For a while, I lay still, wanting to crawl into a hole and stay there. "Bang!" Feeling a bit annoyed, I sat up, resting my back against the headboard as I turned my head to stare at the door, feeling too drained to utter a word. "Who is it?" I finally gained the strength to say, feeling hesitant to leave the bed. "My boss asked that you come to the dining room," Maria's voice echoed from the other end of the door. "What for?" I called out in a calm tone. Not this morning, I didn't want to see him this early. The last heartache hasn't healed yet, and I didn't want to experience more. After dragg
