You tell anyone that I was crying I will- you will what? I asked. She didn't say anything and went towards the bathroom and started showering. I took a shower in the room across mine and came back with Irene wearing my t-shirt.

IRENE P.O.V

Why are you wearing my shirt? Sebastian said with a stoic face. I can't read what he's thinking... It's usually really easy for me to know what a person is thinking just by looking at their expressions. But this man is a totally different breed, he barely shows any expressions other than anger or frustration. I didn't realize that I was spaced out for quite a while until he cleared his through. uh-well, I don't have anything else to wear. My clothes are soaked in blood so I just took a t-shirt from your closet. Who told you that you can touch my stuff without permission? He said with a cold tone. Since when did he care when I touched his stuff? What pissed him off while he was in the shower? So you'd rather like me to go around the HQ with clothes soaked in blood and people can see my bra? I said with a raised brow and with a tone that clearly shows how pissed I am.

I could see him groan under his breath. Besides... I said while picking up the hem of the shirt. I have biker shorts on, I said casually. He slowly raked his eyes down and then up my body leaving shivers going down my spine. This man is going to be the death of me! He then released a sound that sounded like he's satisfied. I was then going to leave his office until my phone started ringing on my bed. Hello? I said. You've been warned, a voice that sounded programmed replied. Out of nowhere, my eyes caught a red laser aiming at my chest. I suddenly started hearing gunshots everywhere! I threw myself across the room. My eyes automatically started roaming the room for Sebastian. Sebastian! Where the hell are you! I yelled out. Suddenly a hand covered my mouth from behind, I elbow whoever it was in the stomach but he or she grabbed my elbow before impacting their body and turned me around to face them. The moment I saw those pair of eyes that I only know belongs to the one and only... Sebastian. I collapsed in his arms almost instantly. I not only collapsed because of relief but also because I got shot in my thigh. A sharp pain suddenly takes over my body. I manage to not scream but I didn't manage to hide my expression of pain quick enough for him to realize that I'm in pain.

SEBASTIAN P.O.V

I hear Irene calling for me and then suddenly a realization hit me. If they can hear her voice, they will not hesitate to shoot again to make sure we are dead. I quickly covered her mouth but she tried to elbow me in my stomach which fortunately I caught. I turned her around just before she will hit me and her eyes met mine. The moment her eyes met mine, her expression on her face turned softly and collapsed in my arms. She sighed until her breath hitched, I noticed she was in pain before her face became stoic. Where does it hurt? Did you get shot? I was going to keep on interrogating her but my men came in and started cleaning up. William came in along with Clarrisa and Damon. They shot both of us a worried look and attacked us with questions, me and Irene stood up telling us we were fine. While I was caught up with informing them what happened, I forgot that Irene was in pain. I took a glance at where she was talking with Clarrisa and she seemed fine, even though I know she was in pain. After my men and William left with only me, Damon, Clarissa and Irene left in the room. I see Irene staggering while going to the washroom, I quickly followed her. As I entered the washroom, she raised the biker shorts she was wearing which showed her gunshot wound with her bleeding.

What the hell Irene! Why aren't you going to the infirmary?! I took quick long strides towards and place her on the counter. I kneeled to inspect the injury. I'm fine... It's not hurting anyways, she said while looking at me. I glared at her with anger in my eyes and put a little pressure on her wound. She screamed for a quick second before bringing her hands to her mouth to shut them up. Without asking her permission, I picked her up with her legs at either side of me and her arms wrapped around my neck. One hand of mine was under her while the other was at her waist. As we stepped out to my washroom she started pushing away from me so I tightened my grip around her. Let me go asshole! Let me go! She yelled and yelled while Damon and Clarrisa who were talking with each other looked at us with shock clearly written on their faces. She's shot at her thigh, get a doctor immediately and inform William that she won't be able to go on missions for the next 2 weeks. If she does anything to try to go on a mission, I want to be informed. Damon nodded and rushed out and came with a doctor in 8 minutes. The doctor patched her up with some gauze and disinfected her wound. She lays on my bed while sulking about me telling them she won't be able to go on missions. She's fine and will recover quicker than other people since her body is used to pain. I raised an eyebrow at the doctor of what she said and she sighed. Irene usually doesn't get injured but when she does, it usually is bad. So her body is used to that pain and it will heal fast. Trust me! This girl is a different breed. I nodded my head at the doctor and headed towards Irene.

As I sulked while laying on this asshole's bed. He came towards me after talking with Sheila, the doctor who is one of my friends in the HQ. You're going to stay with me for 2 weeks, he said like it was the most normal thing to do. LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO DO THAT! I'm perfectly fine in my own apartment; I said with anger clearly heard. Oh... That's not going to happen. I absolutely don't trust you on your own. You're probably going to sneak out and try to go on missions. He isn't wrong... I was going to do that. But still! Why his house?! After a while, I didn't give him a response so he probably took that as a yes. He suddenly picked me up bridal style and brought me into his car. I felt uncomfortable with how many people were staring at us. After that 20-minute car ride that felt like 2 hours came to a stop in front of a modern white house. I got out of the car with some assistance from the driver. Sebastian grabbed my waist letting me put some weight on him as we got inside. We got into an elevator that led to his room directly and place me on his bed.

You have a huge house, can't I stay in another room? I asked. I would unless you want to sleep in a room with other men? I looked at him with confusion written on my face as he said that. He sighed as one of his hands went across his face, most of my gang stays with me so I don't have any extra rooms. The only one I have is for my parents and my sister who visit frequently. I nodded and started getting comfortable on his bed that smelled just like him. His cologne... It's unique. If you need anything, I'm gonna be in my office that's at the end of the hallways at the right. Take a shower before going to sleep, I don't want you to bleed on my sheets. He said as he started getting up and walking out of the room. I sighed and walked towards the bathroom. His whole room and bathroom are the same concept. Black, marble and gold accents. I showered and went out realizing that I don't have any extra change of clothes. I walked into his bedroom and I see a card on the side table.

### - ### - ####

This is my number just in case you deleted it when I called you last time.

- Sebastian

fortunately, I didn't delete his number. I pressed on the number he called me on and named it '#1 asshole'. A small grin came on my face as I called him. Hello? His voice still gives me a tingling sensation even though he isn't here. I don't have any clothes, I'm going to take your K? I said not asking for permission but just informing him. I know you're going to do it anyway so sure, I already told someone to buy you some clothes. They will be arriving tomorrow. OK! I said and cut the call. I walked into his walk-in closet.



One whole shelf is filled with black, navy blue, gray and white suits. Nothing pop of colour and while another shelf is filled with shirts at the top and pants on the bottom. All of the colours of his clothes are dull colours with no pop of colour. At the end of his closet, there is a glass table that reaches my waist that's filled with ties, watches, bracelets, necklaces and rings. I swipe my fingers on all the clothes feeling the fabrics. I ended up choosing a dark gray shirt that I made sure reaches up to my knees so it can cover my panties. Don't judge me, his pants and shorts are huge and I have nothing else to wear. I started feeling hungry so I walked to his office to ask if there is anything to eat since I don't want to go downstairs with dangerous men wandering everywhere. I knocked on his door before entering as he said "come in". Ugh... That voice sends chills down my spine. I entered and I see him behind his desk concentrated on the papers and doesn't bother looking up.



His office is fairly large but smaller than his HQs office. The floor his desk is on is a level higher than the rest off the floor which only has some chairs/couches and a TV. I slide my hands on a chair in front of his desk and sat on it. His head snapped towards my direction pissed. Who told you that can sit down? Ok... What the hell is wrong with you huh? Do you have bipolar disorder or what? First, you drag me to your house and now you yelled at me for sitting down! I got up in anger not caring about the pain that followed as I started walking towards the door. As I was about to open the door, I hand-smacked it closed behind me.

SEBASTIAN P.O.V

As I was doing some financial related paperwork, someone knocked on the door and came in after I permitted them to do so. After I heard whoever walk-in closing the door behind them, they didn't for a bit while I didn't bother looking up. I'm too determined to finish this before going back to bed and relax. Suddenly, whoever it was sat down in the chair right in front of. Now that pissed me off! I looked up to see Irene sitting there while looking at me. This woman has been disrespecting me constantly and now I'm done! I don't tolerate disrespectfulness! Who told you that you can sit down? I partially yelled. Ok... What the hell is wrong with you huh? Do you have bipolar disorder or what? First, you drag me to your house and now you yelled at me for sitting down! She said as she glared right into my eyes. Now, I don't let anyone glare at me like that, not even Irene! She started walking towards the exit. I got up abruptly and slammed the door right back shut.

No one disrespects me! I yelled as she turned towards me. She even held her freakin ground! She glared at me again, in my eyes! I don't tolerate disrespectfulness and I've had enough of you! I yelled again. Well, you better get used to it since you're the one who brought me into your damn house anyways! She partially yelled back as anger is totally visible in her eyes. Don't make me regret bringing you here! I said with anger in my voice. Oh WOW! You totally seem to already regret bringing me here! She yelled right at my face. I had enough of this! I slammed her right into the wall. She's still glaring at me. Let me go! Let me go you self-centred asshole! She yelled. I was about to hit her but my hand stopped an inch away from her face and then I saw how shock and hurt she was. Her unshed tears almost started falling. I stepped away from her and told her to get out. She left without a second thought and slammed the door.

IRENE P.O.V

He was about to hit me... He was about to hit me! I kept on repeating over and over again in my head as I was rushing out of his office and towards somewhere other than his room. I suddenly bumped into a woman, she has eyes almost identical to that bastard who I know is currently raging in his office but her hair is way lighter than his. Oh, sorry! She said but her eyes went to my thighs. You're bleeding! Are you ok! I shook my head but before I fainted I told her to not tell Sebastian that I started bleeding or even his people. She quickly nodded and brought me to an unknown place and then I started only seeing black and then... Nothing. I heard a woman talking as I regained consciousness. I saw the girl that helped me before I passed out talking on the phone with a smile. I quickly sat up when she ended the call. Who was that? That wasn't Sebastian, right? I constantly attacked her with questions. She laid me back down... No, no, no I won't say a word to my brother. She said as she smiled. Your brother?

Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Destine Haven, I'm Sebastian's older sister! I forgot that he mentioned that he had a sister. I suddenly remember that I haven't introduced myself. Oh, I am Irene Rei. I'm one of the assassins in the organization for brother is collaborating with. Her face showed a sudden realization as she said, you're the woman my brother brought to the house that was shot a few hours ago right? She said while clapping her hands constantly. Uh... Yeah. By the way, she continued. I didn't tell my brother anything, don't worry. Then who was on the phone, I asked. She sat down on the bed beside me, that was my charming husband. she said. You're married! I asked. Yeah, he works with Sebastian as one of his strategists. I nod in response. By the way... Why don't you want anyone to tell my brother that you started bleeding again? My face suddenly became a frown and told her about the argument a few minutes before meeting her. She nodded, I know my brother can be an asshole sometimes. I totally agree with you, she said! Like I get he wants respect but he didn't have to yell at me like that! I exclaimed. She nodded constantly. Me and Destine got along really well after talking for what felt like hours. We decided to get up and go downstairs to eat since we were starving. As we entered the kitchen, my eyes naturally landed on those pair of eyes I absolutely didn't want to see right now, Sebastian. I quickly turned around and went back to Destine's room which she let me stay in just in case I was trying to avoid Sebastian.
