Eve never knew what happened when someone came to launch an attack. She had experienced two attacks since she met Axel. However, until now, she had only been a victim of those attacks.She realized that such things were quite common in their underground world, but Eve had to admit that it was something new to her.“You don't need to do anything because you're in the last group,” Cailynn buttoned up the bulletproof vest and equipped Eve with some security gear she didn't understand. “The first attacking team will enter the base and disrupt the security system. After that, the helicopter will start landing and drop off other troops to assist. You will come 15 minutes later after everything is safe and the place is clear.”Eve nodded. She had heard what Lucas said, but now she had to listen to Cailynn's explanation, who seemed very worried about her.“Is this gun useless, then?”Cailynn glanced at her for a moment, then snorted, “You don't know how to use it. So, the thing is completely
Axel glanced at the round watch on his right wrist—ensuring that everything was in order according to the calculations he had made over the past week.Midnight came, and there was a change of guards throughout the base. At that moment, the first assault would certainly proceed a bit easier due to their complacency. But what about the second assault? Of course, the second assault would be much easier if the first team had completed their mission."What are you doing here?"Axel turned his head when he heard Adeline's voice behind him.Adeline...Whatever crazy notion was in this woman's mind that led her to remove Andres and become the leader of the rebellion was hard to fathom. It was difficult to believe that this was the same woman who had saved him and brought him to the secret base—far from Andres' reach with no access to this territory.Compared to Andres, Adeline was much more terrifying.She harbored secrets and immense danger—something hidden behind her angelic face."Nothing,
Evangeline Grace Meadow. Everything about her life was going so perfectly—almost exactly as she had planned in her notebook—and she was proud of all the achievements she had gained in her 27 years of life.Landing a permanent position as a doctor at Seattle's largest hospital, residing in a luxurious apartment coveted by every person in Seattle, having a handsome fiancé who loved her—at least that's what she believed—and parents who supported every decision she made, including her decision to move to Seattle from New York and all the hype that follows her last name.No, she didn't. It was not that she disliked her last name. Whether she realized it or not, she had to accept that everything she had accomplished up to this point still had a connection to her family's last name—the Meadow family and all the power and connections she could tap into for free. Eve loved it all, but sometimes she wondered what it would be like to stand on her own feet. And she began to understand what it was
In her entire life, this was the first time Eve had walked down the streets of Seattle in the middle of the night with no destination in her mind. There was no destination. Yes, she had no idea where she wanted to go. Who would have a purpose after discovering that her fiancé had just cheated on her on his birthday? So, where does a woman with no purpose go? Back to the apartment? Of course not. Cry in the car and drive around the city until morning? Hell no, Eve remembered that she’d left her car keys in the bag she dropped in front of Andres’s apartment door, and she of course, wasn’t going back to his apartment just to take them. Then, what else? Call her parents, who were in New York? They must still be asleep because it was only about 6 am there. It’s the end of the year, which means the temperature is dropping with snow that could fall at any time. Once again, Eve emphasized that normal people would choose to stay in bed, and her parents were normal people. So, they must be
All her life, Evangeline Grace Meadow imagined that the first morning after she gave up her virgin status would begin when she opened her eyes and found that she was sleeping in the arms of the man who became her husband under a warm blanket.Yes, warm. Full of love and happiness after the long memories they shared throughout the night.However, Eve had to learn to accept that what she had imagined—what she had written in her notebook would not always go her way. Those beautiful dreams and visions have been shattered since yesterday, and she shouldn’t have been surprised to find that the first morning after she had sex, she didn’t wake up in the arms of the man she loved.There was no love. No happiness. No marriage or husband. However, she could feel the warmth of the blanket she had hugged all night to cover her naked body.Even though she hadn’t really opened her eyes, she knew that it was morning, probably almost noon.She could feel an unfamiliar pain in her groin, and as a docto
"Don't tell me that the man with the gunshot wound is your ex-lover or one of your fans in New York," Daxton walked after Eve after they finished the surgery to remove the bullet from Axel's arm.Hell, Eve hoped Daxton was deaf or at least pretending to be so he didn't hear Axel's sentence a moment ago.During their surgery, Daxton showed no sign that he was listening to anything, but once out of the room, he ran after Eve like a duckling missing its mother."My family has an industry label, but I'm not an artist." She stood at the end of the door to her room and held the door shut to prevent Daxton from entering with her.Daxton stood awkwardly in front of her as he realized she seemed annoyed by his question. "Well, he's your ex-lover." He nodded with an annoying smile. "Does Andres know that you have a patient today who is your ex-lover?"Eve wanted to close the door immediately and leave Daxton without saying anything, but of course, she couldn't do that. "You know what Daxton? Ne
Eve knew that no matter how bad her mood was when she woke up in the morning, time would still run normally, and she would still have to do her activities according to her work schedule.No patient would wait until her mood got better after all the trouble she had been in lately. Patients come to the hospital to see doctors. And they have no obligation to understand her bad mood.So, as bad as she was this morning, Eve still forced herself to wake up on time after the night shift she got yesterday and immediately prepared to leave before 3 pm to start her afternoon shift.She hasn't been able to use her car today because she lost her car keys and hasn't had time to replace them. Maybe tomorrow morning, she'll have to swap her shift with another doctor so she can take her car that she left on the side of the road near Andres's apartment.Oh, what a bad day it would be if she thought about Andres again. Her mood is as gloomy as the Seattle sky that's starting to settle into winter at th
Eve was sick.Throughout her life, she could remember a time when she was so sick that she had to miss classes at school or college. She hated being sick. Maybe everyone hates being sick, but it seems like no one hates being sick as much as Eve does.If there are doctors and medicine in this world, why do people still have to get sick?If she was a doctor who used to treat patients, why did she still get sick?"Oh dear," Eve grumbled as she ran to the toilet to spit out the entire sandwich she had made for breakfast.She always looked miserable when she was sick, and she hated that.She had a long schedule today—her work at the hospital wasn't something she could leave behind, as well as the biology exam she couldn't attend because she had vomiting. Unfortunately, she had already gotten two days off because she was sick. And to be honest, she didn't want to increase her leave anymore."Yes, Kai?" Eve reached for her cell phone with difficulty after she decided to get back into her war
