Dangerous desire

Watching her

Chapter 4

Ava's POV

I felt my guard crush as his guys followed him out of the room or wherever that was, I'd tried so hard not to break down in front of him.

I just don't get it, did I make a mistake by leaving veloria to visit Anemoia?? I just wanted to visit Aunt Moore, to have that feeling of home.

Why does everything bad start in Anemoia, and now I'm trapped in a confusing world of killers ruled by an inconsiderate young man that thinks he could dictate anyone's life.

What did I do to deserve this mess, I pushed my fingers into my hair, ruffling it, my knees gave in pulling me to the ground as I hugged my knee.

I wanted to cry so bad but what if there were cameras, he probably wanted to see me broken for some reason I don't know, my life is literally filled with villains, my mind flashed back to 17 years ago, I'd watched my family burn to ashes in the fire set by an unknown villain and now I've walked right into another villain.

Life sure is stupid, and there's nothing like karma cause I've done nothing to deserve such a bad future.

And aunt moore, these people surely know more about me than I do, have I brought danger to her by coming back? Will they hurt her? They shouldn't, she doesn't deserve that, I have to fight but where I start, I shouldn't have come back, but here I am, I can't sit idle and wait for the outcome of this guy's plot, I have to make mine.

I wiped my eyes, and stood up, I can't give him the joy of seeing me break down, I have to fight through this, I don't have a plan but i have to make one. At least I know he won't kill me. There's something he wants from me, definitely.

I turned and walked out the door following the opposite of where scarlet and I had come from.

Mateo's POV

I knew she was more than a train boarder, and that star on her leg shows everything and her reaction after being brought to an unknown world? She's got that blood in her. Now I get why she's not afraid of me. They never were.

She is something I need to execute my plan " Her devices, keep them safe make sure she never gets them, she's a tech guru, inform zenith about that " I ordered, scorpion bowed with the others and walked away, someone didn't leave with them and kept following me.

I stopped without facing her. "what do you want scarlet?" She's been acting flat since yesterday.

"Is she your sister? Or someone you care about, you're different with her, should we prepare a suite close to yours? Would she eat with us or with you and scorpion" my eyes twitched at scarlet's questions.

"Focus on your training scarlet, and meet nurse Maria you need it, I'd put someone else in charge of Bambina" Her shoulders fell as I spoke every word.

"Is that her name?"

"Scarlet, we've not gotten to the stage where you start asking me questions, know your boundaries and keep them" I felt her fist tighten, Bambina has this weird effect on scarlet.

I tapped her shoulder and walked away.

My mind kept replaying on Bambina as I walked into my suite, since she has that start mark her father must've been on Father's side, is she part of the ones that stayed or those that betrayed.

I walked to my safe and punched in my passcode, it opened and I pulled out files, I've gone through this, over and over a million times and I still feel like I'm missing something.

They were just three families that had that star mark, I pulled up my trouser staring at the star mark on mine, same left leg, same size, same little "D" engraved inside the star... She definitely is connected to the whole story, it's either she leads me to the villain or she becomes the villain.

I closed the files placing them the safe before locking it, I closed my eyes and darkness overshadowed "hmmmm" I exhaled sitting on my sofa.

"New mission alert" Nema's voice distracted me from my thoughts and I opened my eyes, I pulled my wrist to my face checking the time.

"Power off Nema" it definitely won't stop talking till it's powered off.

"Nema, shutting down"

I rolled my eyes and closed them back, walking right into my world of thoughts.

A thought suddenly flashed my mind and I opened my eyes, I immediately sat up sliding my laptop open, I moved to camera files to search for Bambina.

Who knows what she's up to, a figure showed up in the ninth screen, that was her, she kept walking not fast, no aim, she was just walking like she just wanted to count how many steps it'd take her to get to the next door.

I got curious, she didn't look weak or maybe she was playing it, her composure made me question my manor, this hell I've lived in, she really isn't afraid of it.

She's lived in veridia all her life, it's a normal world, how's she not shaken by this hell. Has she seen worse? Is veridia just a cover? Did I bring the real enemy into my camp?

Thoughts filled my head, I've never had anything question my guts this much, she's just a string attached to the cause of my problem or the solution to it...

So far doesn't look like a solution, she's gonna keep me on my toes or rather on the enemies toes.
