Chapter 1

Evans’ electronics is an electronic shop that sells and fixes any electronics. It is also a place where you can reset your password in case you have forgotten it or lost it.

 However the basement of it serves as the owner’s main office. It is where she performs duties beyond repairing and restoring of passwords. She can hack into any system, find anyone, falsify any documents, manipulate the stock market, erase or create any identity and all other tech duties that the government deems illegal.

Her ‘main office’ is where all her gadgets that she uses to perform her other duties. She studied Information Technology and graduated at the top of her class. She is what you call computer genius.

Her only fault is probably her looks. She was pretty... beautiful even however she looked ten years younger. If she was an actress or a model then that would have been a desirable trait. However in her line of work that was more of an obstruction and her height did not help at all. She had long raven locks, a pale skin, big grey eyes, petite body and a natural red plum lips.

In her line of work a lot of people underestimated her by her look without having a look on her abilities and she grew tired of always trying to prove herself.

**********

It was a day like no other but instead of occupying the front desk Scarlet Evans was in her main office getting ready to do her work. She was accompanied by Seth Peters who is her assistant much to everyone’s surprise. He was a thirty something muscle man. He was both her assistant and body guard.

Then the other man was Lorenzo Villabos, a forty something man who was the head of east cartel. The two man watched as the young lady punched in codes back and forth. They could not comprehend the speed she was punching on the keyboard. In the dim light Lorenzo was a little apprehensive because he could not fathom how a little girl can possibly hack into the navy seal’s defense systems.

He had heard stories from his other associates but he was taken aback by her appearance. He could not believe that a fifteen year old can possibly achieve what he required but Peters had assured him that the girl is actually twenty five. He did not want to believe it which is one of the reasons that he wanted to be present to see it happen.

In the dim light of the office the only thing that illuminated the room is the light coming from her computer screen. In order not to hurt her eyes she always wears her prescription glasses whenever she works on the machine. A smirk made its way on her features when the familiar light turned green. “Gentlemen I think we’re in.” She said placing her hands over her head.

Seth was not surprised and only smiled while Lorenzo was astonished. He looked at Scarlet then back at the screen, “You mean to tell me that you hacked into the US Navy seal’s defense system in less than an hour?”

Seth smiled once again proud of his boss. One thing he knows is that no matter how young she looked or how much of a temperament she can throw she really is great at her job. “Better believe it. That’s our Lizard.” He said proudly. Lizard is her hacker name which she got because of her ability to do everything and hide her tracks so well that even when she is inside a system no one can spot her.

She was not interested in praising her but rather wanted to get back to business. She turned her attention to Lorenzo and spoke ever so calmly, “Before I can continue with the work I would need to see the dough. Did you bring the money?” she asked Lorenzo whose face instantly crunched up. He could not believe the gall of this little girl. He was the leader of a feared cartel so things will go his way.

He chuckled humorlessly, “Listen little girl... you seem to get it twisted. I will only pay once the job. So you get your pretty little fingers and do what I require of you.”

Seth shook his head disbelievingly because he knows his boss was about to blow a fuse. His boss does not take well to authority. One of the reasons why she was so fearsome besides her mad skills is because of her rebellious nature. Also the only other reason why someone like him would devote their live to serving and protecting her.

She smiled and got off her seat walking slowly to where Lorenzo was. Without warning her hand clutched his balls and hissed in pain, “Listen you pathetic excuse of a man. There are two things you never say to me. One is you never ever tell me what to do and secondly you sure as hell don’t tell me how to do it.” The more she spoke the tighter her grip got.

“I- I- I’m so-sorry!” he struggled to get out as the pain was unbearable. For someone with small hands her grip was as strong as hell.

She laughed and something about her laugh sounded sinister, “You i***t! Apologizing makes it worse. You can forget about forging a permit to sell your weapons to the US government because the deal is off. Take your money with and don’t even think of doing anything stupid because I’ll ruin you. Don’t forget the e-mail you sent requesting I hack into the US Navy seal defense system and create a permit to sell your illegal weapons to the US government. I can just send it to the police without it leading to me but that is not all that I’ll be doing. I ruin your whole empire and the cartel just with a click of a button.” She finally let go of her grip. His breathing was ragged and he ran away after catching his breath.

After he left it was only Scarlet and Seth in the dim room. Seth knew that his boss was not going to go easy on him after all he was the one who confirmed and set the appointment. He raised his head but had to look down in order to face her. She was glaring at him and at that moment he wished he was the one who just ran. “How the hell did you let this happen? Are you so incompetent that you didn’t inform him of the rules?” she narrowed her eyes at him.

“It won’t happen again, I promise. It was my mistake for not telling him the rules. I was under the impression that he was aware of them since he kept telling me how his associates have been telling him about you.” He was looking anyway but her face because even though he was older and bigger she scared him when she was angry. He knew better not to apologize.

She rolled her eyes before going back to her table. “You had better make sure that it doesn’t happen again cause if it does I will have your head. You just caused me millions but to be honest I was not too eager to let him have that kind of power. I guess that worked out for the better.” She shrugged her shoulder while he realized a sigh of relief.

He walked over to him, “What are you going to do about him? I am sure he’s bound to be trouble cause he doesn’t look like the type to let things go. Should I get my man ready?” she waved him off. “No need. I don’t want to be physical with him because I don’t want the cartel to retaliate but however I’ll ruin him so much that he loses support of the same cartel. No need to worry I already have my eye on him and one wrong move... he’s finished.” She had a smirk on her face and Seth couldn’t help but shudder a little. She may have a face of an angel but step on her toes and you will see the depths of hell. She was so small that people confuse her for a little helpless girl but dynamite comes in small packages after all.

**********

Scarlet was on the phone with Seth, “Did you make the reservation and are you hundred percent sure you made it? You see I would hate to have to chop off your head and feed it to your family.” She said over the phone causing her henchman to chuckle.

He spoke over the phone, “Of cause I did. I double checked it this morning.” He chuckled once again. He knows how panicky she can get if things don’t go her way. The last thing he wants is her rampaging on the whole building.

She was in the lobby of the Grayson’s grand hotel and she wanted to make sure before going over to the reception area. She hung up and walked to the reception area where a tall blonde lady was behind the desk. “Name.” The blonde said looking uninterested. Scarlet closed he eyes and started doing the breathing exercises before she could lose her temper on the blonde.

“Give me the key to room 805.” She said still with her eyes closed. The receptionist tried to control her anger as well. She could not believe the nerve of this little girl. Just because she was wearing adult clothes doesn’t give her the right to disrespect her elders. She was wondering where her parents were but knowing these rich families they probably wouldn’t do anything even if she said anything. You can tell by her attitude that she was spoiled and probably used to getting her way.

“I asked you the name which you were reserved under.” She said finally not wanting to cause problems with her boss. Scarlet couldn’t believe her. She clearly did not ask but rather demanded. She took a deep breath before finally saying, “The room is 805 and the name is Evans, Lara Evans.” Her middle name was Lara and she used it often when making reservations especially when she had a very important task that she had to do like the one she had tonight.

The receptions typed her name on the database and found her name and the room was really 805.

Guess the brat was right. She thought.

 “Well what do you know... your room really is 805! Here is your key card.” She said to Scarlet before handing her a key card for room 805. She stopped her before she could go, “Oh and your room is in the fourteenth floor. One more thing, don’t go in the gold elevator use the silver one.” Scarlet’s eye twitched.

Does the blonde i***t know what she has done?

Now it means that she was going to take the gold elevator. You see whenever someone tells her what to do, she always do the opposite.

She walked over to the gold elevator and pressed open button. She did not have to wait long as the elevator immediately dings and opens. There was no one inside so she just went in. She was about to press her floor when her nose caught a whiff of the most intoxicating musky scent. She was frozen on the spot when she felt the commanding presence next to her. She did not have to look over to the source to tell that the person was taller and well built. She has lived and worked among imposing presence before but something about this person made her heart skip a beat. She was afraid for the first time since she started her line of work.

“Press your floor.” He had the most deepest and commanding voice she has ever heard and her nerves only got worse. However as she finally made out what he said her crunched up into a scowl.

Who does he thinks he is? Just because he is tall has a deep voice he thinks he can order me around, she thought to herself.

“Why don’t you press your floor? Actually what gives you the right to tell me what to do?” she said stubbornly and the person next her frowned. He was taken aback but could not believe how ungrateful she was being. She refused to look at him and also refused to do as told. It was clear to him that she was just a brat who was not taught manners.

“Whatever.” He mumbled before running his thumb print and the elevator closed. Scarlet saw him running his print and she was confused but she refused to give him the pleasure of seeing her confused.

She watched as the floor number changed and she wondered which floor the stranger was going. She hoped that his floor wasn’t far off so that she can take the stairs if she has to.

She decided to take a quick glance at the stranger curiosity playing its part. Her eyes grew at the sight of him. She has never found any guy she met handsome but this was a fine specimen. He was wearing a plain t-shirt which didn’t hide the glory that was probably underneath and a simple skinny jean and it also didn’t do any justice in hiding the muscles that were underneath. She found herself thinking inappropriate thoughts of the stranger and she decided to avert her gaze to his face, big mistake. He had brown short curly locks, deep emerald eyes which seemed to hide many secrets, pink plum lips, sharp chiseled jaw and his skin was a little tanned. He was a sight and she wondered if he was a male model or if perhaps he was an actress. He was smirking without even looking at her and she rolled her eyes before diverting her gaze back to where she saw that they were already on the sixteenth floor. She crossed her fingers that they would stop because she was not looking forward to climbing down a lot of stairs. To her dismay they stopped on the eighteenth floor. They both got out and she realized the floor was some type of a penthouse, meaning the whole floor was probably his. They were in what seems like the lounge area and she instantly cursed on her rebellious tendencies.

The elevator instantly closed once they were both inside. She went over to try to open it when she realized that there were no stairs but it refused to open. “It won’t open to you. You see this whole floor is mine and the elevator is mine. It won’t open unless I scan my print which I won’t do to you. I gave you a chance but you threw it away.” She heard him say behind her and she cursed. Now she was regretting sending her bags ahead of her because if she had her equipment she would have opened the elevator without needing his print.

She turned around and cast him an innocent smile of which he blinked probably taken aback by it, “Would you please open the elevator for me. I have a very important conference to attend.” She was hoping that her innocent face would finally come in handy. He looked at her confused because he could not comprehend how a little girl can attend a conference or maybe perhaps it was some rich teenager conference about shopping.

“No I won’t do that. Look kid I gave you your chance but you decided to be a brat about it.” He said nonchalantly which angered her.

“You arrogant piece of s**t, how dare you call me a kid? Open the damned elevator I told you I have other important matters to attend than waste my time with your arrogant ass.” She pulled out a gun that was in her side bag and pointed it to him. He rolled his eyes before taking a seat on his leather chaise. She was beyond pissed at his nonchalant attitude, “Listen kid put the gun down it is not a toy.” He said nonchalantly and that triggered something in her. She pulled the trigger and shot at his arm. She was surprised when he didn’t scream or flinch but only got angered.

“Did you jus---” he held his arm and his hand was covered in blood, “---That’s it I’m done playing.” With that being said he got up and walked over to her before carrying her. He ignored her protest and got into his bedroom.

 He threw her on the bed and started taking off his shirt. She watched in disbelief as that action didn’t seem to affect him. She was also taken aback when he got rid off her clothes and hovered over her. She started getting nervous when she realized what he was doing. He kissed her roughly before pulling away leaving her feeling dizzy.

 She watched him get rid off of his jean and shoes. As he once again hovered over her she was shaking. He pulled her legs apart and positioned himself in between. He felt her shaking body then he passionately kissed her to ease her tension. She wanted to scream or start kicking him off but something in her was preventing her to and the unmistakable wetness in between her legs did not help. There was something about his kiss and his intoxicating scent that drowned her and her rational senses.

**********

Scarlet was collecting her scattered clothes and putting them on while the stranger was sitting at the edge of the bed in his boxers. He seemed to be in deep thought, she noted. After she was done dressing up she stood in front of the stranger. “How dare you take me like that? Why did you r**e me? How can you be such a perverse r****t? Is this what you do? Trap women in your elevator only to r**e them.” She was shouting at him.

He lifted his head and just laughed at her, “You call that r**e? I don’t remember you stopping me and if I recall correctly you were the one asking for more.” He scoffed at her causing her to lose her resolve. “How old are you? Please tell me I did not just make love to a minor. And why did you not tell me you were a virgin?” he was the one who was shouting now.

“Oh really, like you gave me a change! And do you call taking someone’s virginity without their consent making love. When you were easing into me and you felt my tight walls didn’t that give you that I was a virgin or what did you thing I was celibate for ten years? Do you have any idea what I went through to keep my virginity because I wanted to lose it on my own terms” she fell to her knees tears streaming down her face without her permission. She was angry at herself for letting him take what she promised herself that she would lose on her own terms.

She felt defeated but she knew deep down she had to pick herself up and this is the last time any man would see her vulnerable.
