Lily POV
It has been more than 10 years since I left Canada and went to China, I was sent there to keep me safe and to be trained, I was determined to become strong and get into the BLUE ROSE
Blue Rose is an international secret organisation that only hire the top of the top agents from around the world, it specialises in catching international criminals and terrorists, the agents also can get the chance to take part in solving cold cases or being hired to become the personal bodyguard of some royalty or a president
To be accepted into this organisation, I had to go through many physical and mental tests, I was lucky that I discovered this place, since I was in the witness protection unit, I was introduced to so many agencies and important people
Somehow, I got the chance to meet an actual secret agent working for the blue rose who was kind enough to train me for a few months in China, he had to leave soon after to go on a mission leaving me his blue rose badge
He encouraged me to become stronger and to catch all criminals that may hurt other children like what happened to me, it was him who laid the right path for me
The badge is so precious to me and helped me become who I am today, unfortunately I never heard from my saviour again but I hope he is fine helping other children take the first step for a better future
I trained day and night to reach my goal faster and I actually did it, when I turned 22 years old, I officially was hired by the blue rose, I kept working for 3 more years in China before coming back
I spent all those years by myself, I didnât get the chance to make close friends neither a trustworthy partner, I donât know why but I was always envied by other agents and no one accepted to work with me, just because I was too fast to think or react compared to everyone else, I was always tasked with the most difficult missions
So when I came back to my dear country and heard that I will be having a partner, I was so happy, I got busy with unpacking my luggage in my new apt, buying all necessary things, and getting all my official papers since when I left my country I was still a minor
When I met Alex in the boss office for the first time I knew itâs not going to work out, the moment I saw him I could tell he already hated me, that I intruded into his life, he was cold toward me, I honestly was angry, he didnât even give me a chance to introduce myself
I was really disappointed and was sure that we wonât last long as partners, I was afraid that they will send me back to China, I wanted to hurry and come back here to find the two criminals who destroyed my life, who stole away my childhood so I knew that I had to do my best to stay here
********************
âAre you ready? The moment you get out of that car you will become a couple who are deeply in love, you must find that man and get him to share all important informationâ our boss said through the speakers while me and Alex were in the car not far from the club
âyes bossâ we both said already hating this mission, I felt sick, itâs going to be terrible acting as this manâs lover
âthe gang member likes getting friendly with rich couples who are so close and be a third wheel, so make sure to show off as much as possibleâ
âalright boss, we will do our bestâ I said as we glared to each other
âgood luckâ as soon as he said that we both sighed ending the call as Alex drove close to the club, he stopped the car waiting for the guard to come and get the key to park the car somewhere, I closed my eyes getting ready for the show
âCome on dear we are here!â he suddenly said smiling getting out of the car and opening the door for me offering his hand, I smiled back
âletâs party all night long honeyâ I took his hand slowly getting out, we walked toward the door as Alex handing the bodyguards the tickets, they both glanced checking our outfits, I flipped my hair smiling seductively at the one on my right while holding into Alexâs arm
I made sure to wear the best eye-catching outfit, a glittering strapless short black dress and high heels pumps with silver rhinestone crystal glitter, a little strong perfume and red lipstick, I made sure to be as beautiful as I can to catch their attention
âcome on honey the party is starting!â I begged in cute voice like a spoiled princess
âyes dear, we can go in right?â
âyes sir, welcome to our clubâ the guard on Alex side said letting us pass, I felt so disgusted noticing how they stared lustfully at me while going in, I could see it in their eyes striping me wanting to touch me, I almost shivered but I stayed calm walking inside
As we walked, I noticed how many were staring at us, some girls almost screamed seeing Alex and I canât blame them, my partner looked so handsome and hot, he left his shirt half open revealing his muscular hairless chest and his expensive golden necklace, his medium long coal hair that almost reached his shoulder, his bright honeyed eyes, his height and his sturdy well shaped body made him look like some famous rich idol
We sat by a table as he started ordering expensive wines, we sat so close acting all lovey-dovey but I could feel how cold and disgusted he felt being close to me, he wasnât hiding his hatred toward me yet he kept calm acting his part while searching for our target
âfound himâ he said as I looked to where he was staring
âhoney letâs dance!â I said dragging him up slowly approaching the target while dancing, we made sure to look so close, Alex holding me by the waist while dancing while I surrounded his neck, my hair dancing along
I could feel the eyes of others on me but I ignored them focusing and dancing and being intimate with Alex, the target was behind me and Alex was watching him carefully
âhe noticed usâ
âfinallyâ I mumbled already tired by all this acting with this partner, I got close giving him a quick peck on the cheeks and made it look like we were kissing, Alex looked irritated and his eyes told me how much he was grossed out but he went along holding me by the cheek
His touch made me feel so cold, nothing felt warm between us, Alex made it clear since the beginning that he doesnât want me into his life, not even as a friend or a partner and somehow I felt so sad
âhey beautiful lady, handsome gentleman, you wonât mind if I join you?â we glanced toward the voice source, it was the target, he finally took the bait
âof course not! Letâs danceâ we turned facing him and dancing, Alex kept getting us more strong wine, one time he drinks and one time I drink so it wonât affect us much, I was surprised on how we understood each other without even whispering or even looking at each other
I could tell right away what Alex wanted to do, it felt like we shared the same thought and currently itâs to find a private place to drag our drunk target to and get all needed info, I kept checking around until I noticed a room upstairs, I started dragging the man and Alex followed immediately not even knowing where I was heading just following me
âwait, this room is for VIP clientsâ a guard stopped us as we tried to go inside
âoh please, just for half an hourâ I begged in cute voice noticing how he was checking Alex so I knew I canât win so let Alex handle him, he stepped in and tried seducing the gay man
I donât have anything against gay man or any other person, everyone are free to be who they really want to but itâs my first time but itâs my first time actually meeting one face to face and knowing that I wonât be able to win him, I guess having a male partner does help sometimes
We successfully got in and we laid our target and gave him even more wine, he was dead drunk while touching me and Alex, it was clear he go both ways and wanted to have fun with both of us which is why he always chooses couples, a creepy pervert
We managed to get all informations and his gang, their hideouts, their deals and even information about other members and their leader, we put sleeping powder in his last cup of drink and left as soon as he fell asleep
Surprisingly the mission went so smoothly without any problem, I thought itâs not going to work out between me and Alex but on the country we both were very professional and managed to get what we needed without a problem
âamazing! You did a perfect job, thatâs to be expected from the two top agents, I knew that making you partners will help us a lot, with all those information we will be able to eliminate this sickening gang, great jobâ the boss praised us as we handed him the recordings we made with that man
âThanks boss, we did what he had to doâ I thanked him seeing how pleased how was stopped me from asking for another partner
âyour next mission is this Sunday, you will be going to hotel, make sure to prepare swimsuits and good clothes for dinner you will have to spend a night or two there, I will tell you the details later, you should go and rest todayâ
âalright, see you this Sundayâ Alex said as we left his office walking toward the elevator, we stayed quiet at first
âdonât think just because todayâs mission went well that we can always be partnersâ he broke the silence looking so apathetic
âI hate being with you, it felt so disgusting acting like that with you, I will find a good time to talk to the boss to find me a BETTER partnerâ he glared at me
âyou wonât find a better agent than meâ
âdonât be so conceited, there are thousand of agents around the world Iâm sure I can find a good friendly and kind partner unlike a terrible icy man like youâ he got enraged
âitâs me who was cursed with a weird ugly burden, I canât wait to break this partnershipâ I chuckled
âme? Ugly? Iâm sure you were talking about yourself, you disgust me, I never thought I will make an enemy as soon I come back, letâs not meet outside of work, if you see me make sure to go some other wayâ
âmake sure to do the sameâ
âno need to remind meâ we glared at each other as we reached our floor and each went on his way
I must find a good time and talk to the boss; Iâd rather keep working alone than be with that stupid heartless man any longer
