"Where did she go?"

Kylo asked the man through the phone as he sat on the swivel chair. "She was buying a house, Sir. And there was another man who was following Miss Mara Athena from the start" the man informed. "What? Another man?"

Kylo furrowed his brows in confusion, he narrowed his eyes. "Find out about him and who he is working for" Kylo ordered. "I understand, Sir. Is there anything else you want me to do?" the man questioned. "No, just find out about that man"

"I understand, Sir" the man hung up the phone. Kylo let out a sigh. Why did the young woman buy a new house? Where did she get the money from to buy a house? If he was right, Mara Athena's father was the one who took care of money.

He never let his daughter use the money, everything was under his control. Then how did the young woman buy the house? What about her old house? Did she sell it? But it would not be enough to buy a huge house which had two floors.

Did something happen to her? Did she buy that house because of a reason? Why did she hide about buying a new house from him? And who was that man? Why was the man following Mara Athena? Thousands of questions ran inside Kylo's head.

He wanted to know the answers of his questions. "Mara Athena.." he spoke under his breath. That young woman was making him insane. She could make him think about her all day and all night. He squeezed his eyes and leaned back on the swivel chair.

"Why the fuck is this so heavy?!"

In the middle of the night, the young woman was packing the things. She just came back from the company to pack the things. How could she leave these things behind? She spent too much money for these clothes and makeup.

"Ar! This is so heavy!" she furiously shouted as dropped the suitcase to the floor. She let out a sigh, she had to hurry before someone came and killed her. Thanked to her thought of getting killed by someone, she finished packing in an hour.

Mara stood up from the floor and dragged the suitcases to the living room. "Oh, shit. I forgot to call taxi" she spoke under her breath. "Damn it!" she left the suitcases in front of the door and went out of the house carefully.

The street was in silence, not even a footstep could be heard. "Where the fuck am I supposed to find a taxi?" the young woman gritted her teeth in frustration. How would a taxi come into a street at this hour? Only a fool would wait for taxi in the street.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around the young woman's mouth as a sharp tool slipped into her side of the stomach. The man was dragging her into the house. Mara eyes widened in shock. How could she not notice the appearance of the man?

Mara hit the man's stomach with her elbow harshly, making the man backed up. She quickly took out the dagger from her purse and turned around. Her other hand was on the wound which was dripping blood nonstop.

"You fucking asshole.."

She cursed under her breath.

The man in black cap and mask, glared at the young woman. He ran towards the young woman and tried to stab her with the knife. Mara dodged and wrapped her arm around the man's neck from behind. Thanked to her high heels, she was able to reach the man's height.

She stabbed the dagger into the man's stomach and his thigh quickly, making the man fell onto the ground really hard. The man eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe it, how could she attack him so fast like a lightning? He did not even get a chance to dodge.

She was strong and her body was well trained, but how was that possible? "Is that Remy Horper? The one who ordered you to kill me?" the young woman asked. Her honey brown fox eyes flickered under the moonlight.

There were flames in her eyes, she looked like a princess who was ready to kill her own father for the throne. The man did not reply and kicked the young woman's leg quickly, causing Mara to fall onto the ground and twist her ankle.

"Fuck.." she cursed. The man took that as a chance and stood up from the ground. He raised his hand, ready to stab the young woman who was unable to move. "*stab*" however, the one who got stabbed was not the young woman.

It was the man. The man looked down at his chest which was stabbed with a knife. Blood started to drip down from his mouth. The knife was piercing his heart. His body fell onto the ground and died at the place with the knife in the heart. 

"Thanks.." the young woman murmured and looked up at the man who helped her, there was a small half moon tattoo on his neck. He was none other than Oliver Jack. "Welcome.." Oliver spoke as he took out his hand.

He handed his hand for the woman to grab. But the woman did not accept it and stood up on her own. Actually, she already saw Oliver Jack from afar. He signaled her from behind to act like a weak woman. Since, she was losing too much blood, she did as the man said.

"Do you need any help?"

Oliver asked as his eyes were on the suitcases which were in front of the door. He came here to help the young woman because he knew that she could not fight back. But when he arrived to the young woman's house, she was already stabbing the man with a dagger bravely.

He could not help but praised the young woman for hiding her abilities from the people so well. Oliver heard about the news from his brother that the young woman did not come back to her house for two days straight.

But Remy Horper did not give up and made the man wait the young woman until she came. Oliver did not care nor did not want to involve in the problems but the thought of the young woman dying under the man's hands made his steps moved on its own.

However, instead of the young woman dying under the man's hands, he saw the scene of the young woman stabbing the man's stomach and thigh like an assassin. He was worrying for nothing. Even if he did not come to help her, she could easily kill the man on her own.

"Do you have car?" the young woman questioned as Oliver nodded. "But I brought the motorcycle since it is easy to drive" the man's answer made the young woman rolled her eyes. "Then you cannot help me. You can go back to wherever you came from"

Mara turned around and walked towards the door to pick up the suitcases. Oliver frowned, "Wait here, don't go anywhere nor touch this man. I will come back" he spoke and left the house. Mara jaw dropped. Did he just order her what to do?

How funny, no one could order her around. She furrowed her brows and walked out of the house with suitcases, leaving the dead body in front of the house. She kept walking with the wound on her side of the stomach.

She was using all her strength to walk. Her ankle was injured and it hurt like hell since she was wearing high heels. Mara quickly took off her high heels and held it tightly. She walked with bare legs while dragging the suitcases in pain.

"I told you to wait"

A black colored Ferrari 488 car stopped beside the young woman who was walking with suitcases. There was Oliver Jack, holding the steering wheel with one hand while his eyes were on the young woman. "No one can order me what to do"

The young woman's sharp and cold reply made the man smiled in satisfaction. "I am not ordering you. I am helping you. Hop in" the man said with a small smile. Mara kept walking, not wanting to interact with the man since she did not know him.

She only knew that he was a non blood related brother of Mara Athena. Nothing more, she did not even know his name. "*Honk Honk*" the car's honking sounds filled the street, awaking everyone in the street. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

The young woman furiously spoke as Oliver stopped honking. "Do you think you can walk to your new house with those suitcases?" he raised his eyebrow and questioned. The young woman fell into silence. 'I wish I had a car'

"Wait, how do you know that I have a new house?" Mara raised her eyebrow in suspicion. How did this man know? Was he stalking her? Was he from Remy Horper to kill her? "I saw you running out of your house that day, you were murmuring with a frown while walking to the nearest store"

Oliver replied truthfully. "What? But still-" "There is no way a woman like you is going to walk back to the house where the man with a knife is waiting for you" The young woman furrowed her brows, not wanting to believe the man. "Hop in before you lose all the blood"

"Fine, then" she walked towards the passenger seat and sat down after putting the suitcases into the back seat of the car. Since he was willing to help her, she had to accept it. "Do you know any hospital which is near this area?" The man asked.

Mara shook her head, she refused to go to hospital. "No, just drive to the location which I told you. Don't drive to the hospital" she spoke as the man furrowed his brows in confusion. "You are literally bleeding too much. You have to go to hospital"

"I said drive to the location which I told you. I don't want to go to hospital. If you can't accept it, I will leave. I can walk on my own" the young woman tried to open the door as Oliver quickly locked the doors. "Alright, I understand"

The man replied and kept driving. "Are you going to leave the dead body in front of your house?" Oliver asked as he drove off the car to the direction where the young woman wanted to go. "No, I want to send the dead body to Remy Horper back but I don't have people to order. So yea"

She spoke the truth as pressed on her wound with the handkerchief. "I understand, then would you like me to send the dead body to Remy Horper?" Oliver asked as his eyes were focused on the road. The young woman rolled her eyes at the man's words.

"Stop your nonsense, he is your brother. I know that you are not going to help your non blood related sister" Mara talked back, she gritted her teeth in pain. "What if I am doing these because I want to destroy Remy Horper and his mother?"

The man's words made the young woman furrowed her brows in confusion. "What do you mean his mother?" She questioned with wrinkled eyebrows. "You don't need to know. Just accept my help because we are on the same side"

Oliver said with a cold face, it looked like he did not want to tell about the truth. Mara frowned tightly, should she believe his words? Or should she laugh out loud? She let out a sigh. "So you want to kill Remy Horper?"

"Yes..."
