Morana's POV:

I woke up next to Sophia. She had gripped onto my arm while she fell asleep, leaving marks on my arm. She must've had a nightmare. "Should I wake her up?" I thought to myself. I gently woke Sophia up. She blinked her eyes a few times before opening them fully. "Are you okay" I asked. "I'm fine" she replied. "Get ready and meet me downstairs when you're done" I said as I rolled my eyes. I knew she wasn't fine but I could tell she didn't want to talk about it. "Since you don't have your clothes here, you can use whatever fits you from my closet" I suggested. "We'll go shopping for new clothes tomorrow." I said.

I changed into a white T shirt and grey sweatpants and went downstairs while Sophia got ready.

Sophia's POV:

I got ready and went downstairs like Morana asked me to. When I got there, breakfast was already set on the table. Morana sat at the table across from me drinking a protein shake while I ate my chocolate chip and banana pancakes. I haven't seen her dressed like this before, she always dressed very formal. I have to admit though, she could pull of any look and sill look so hot. When we were done, Morana began showing me the house.

"This is the medical room which is where you'll be working" Morana said as she opened the door revealing a huge room with beds, a small table and lots of cupboards. One of the cupboards had a label above it that read medical supplies. "We also do our fitness testing in this room" Morana added. Next was the weapons room. "Why do you keep so many guns in your house? " I asked. "Don't ask questions, you don't want the answer to Princess" Morana replied. I rolled my eyes in response. "Besides this is all for business so it's best you stay out of it but you do have gun training tomorrow" Morana added. "Gun training?" I asked as my eyes widened. "It's just procedure for all our staff" Morana added.

"It's time for my workout" Morana said as we proceeded to the gym.



I sat on a black leather cushion bench in the gym as Morana got ready for her workout. The gym was huge. There was lots of heavy weights and a long mirror that covered the wall. There was also a black punching bag with red writing on it. I couldn't really see what it said as it had faded. Morana began taking her shirt off exposing her entire upper body with just a black sports bra on.



My jaw dropped, her physique was incredible. "Instead of admiring, come count my reps" Morana said while smirking at me. I walked over to her and began counting with each time she lifted the weights. Strands of her hair began falling over her face and droplets of sweat started rolling down her back and neck while exercising. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I brushed off my little smile while exchanging quick glances with her. "It's 15 princess" Morana said while bringing me back to focus on the exercises. "Huh" I said while blinking a few times and my mouth still open in awe. "15 reps, you stopped counting" Morana replied. I felt embarrassed. "It's okay Princess, I know you can't resist me" Morana winked at me. I handed her the towel she pointed towards. "I was not looking at you, I was just lost in thought about something very important" I replied. "Those thoughts happen to be me, isn't it?" Morana added. "Don't flatter yourself" I scoffed. Morana began walking closer to me until I was against the mirror. I began to get flustered. Both her palms placed on the mirror on either side of me. Her head tilted towards the right side of my face, her breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine. "Then you might want to wipe off that pink stain on your cheeks" she whispered in my ear. I held my hands up to my cheeks and realised that I was blushing. "Did she really make me blush, me?" I thought to myself. She walked over to the bench and put on her shirt.

As the day went on, I was introduced to the different parts of the house. There was one room however that was locked and Morana asked me not to ever open that door or go in there. "I wonder what was in that room that I wasn't allowed to open that door" I thought to myself.

Later that day, it was time for dinner. We sat at the table with the rest of the members in the house. It was nice meeting them, they were all really welcoming except for Aiden. He seemed rather flirty which I found a bit uncomfortable because of his stare at me through the dinner. There were two other woman. One was named Sarah and the other was Tia. They were really friendly. At least I got to make some friends here. I didn't really have many friends back home. "Sarah and Tia will take care of you while I'm working." Morana said. I gave them all a warm smile and said goodnight as Morana and I left to see the library. It was the only room left to end the tour.

We walked inside a large room filled with books. It was beautiful. It felt like I was in heaven. "So many books" I said as I went looking through the different shelves. I could tell this house was old and had been here for generations because there were really vintage books on some of the shelves.

Morana's POV:

The way her eyes lit up when she saw the books. Her smile full of joy and excitement. I wonder if she knew how beautiful she really is. Her smile did something to me, almost as if bringing me back from the dead. I had a feeling in my heart that I hadn't felt in forever. I always want to see her smile like that, it made me feel alive. For a really long time my heart was numb and my soul was black but just for a second, her smile took all that away. However I still resisted it, I had to stay focused on my missions and get back to business. Business and emotions don't work together especially with what I do. I can't have my emotions clouding my judgement and compromising my work. Besides nothing good ever comes from feelings, you just get hurt.



Sophia's POV:

"I'm just going to be in my office, you can stay here and read until then" Morana said as she left for her office. I picked out a book that caught my eye and began reading.

Morana's POV:

I knew Sophia loved books so she would really be interested to see the library. I took her to the library last so I could get some work done while she was there.

I put my laptop off and turned the lights off in my office before leaving. I made my way to the library to find Sophia asleep on the table with her book opened to the last page she read. "She really is a sweet little bookworm" I thought to myself. I picked up the book and read the first few pages. My eyes widened and a smirk appeared on my face from what I read. "She isn't as innocent as she looks" I thought as I bit my lip and picked her up.

A/N: Hi everyone. I hope you're enjoying the story so far. What do you think about the tour?
