Ariana Ortega was a graduate in computer engineering and that aside, she worked wonders when it came to tasks like that. There was almost nothing she couldn't do, she could detect bombs of all sorts as well, she was very proud of herself when she disarmed her first bomb at only sixteen. There was a group of skilled mercenaries who went about destroying the whole of Paris and they started around the early years of nineteen eighty eight slash nineteen eighty nine. Their reason? They were doing as bad politicians told them as long as they got paid. Ariana was invited by the military force to help with finding bombs and disarming them due to her speed at such tasks. So, with a skill like that, she joined the army eventually and became one of the best while serving her country. For a woman who found it easy finding and disarming bombs, finding implanted cameras and microphones was like a child's play to her. The villa was filled with men and women of different ages and looks. Being tha
The sun crept in through the curtain that was slightly opened, caressing Ivan's face and he tossed around in his bed. He groaned as his head suddenly began aching as a result of the too much alcohol he drank the night before. "Oh damn..." He muttered to himself as he gently rubbed his aching forehead. "Arghh... Hangovers are the worst!" He groaned as he laid on his tummy. "Knock knock knock!" A masculine voice called out as he knocked on the door."Who is it? Go away please..." Ivan muttered with his eyes closed. The click of the door as it opened caused Ivan's ear to prick but he still refused to open his eyes. "Rise and shine young master Wayne!" Alfred exclaimed excitedly with a bright smile on his face as he walked in with a golden tray on top sat a little golden mug with greenish liquid inside. He closed the door behind him and started towards Ivan's bed."I said to go away... Please." Ivan repeated, still with his eyes closed."I knew you would be in such a messed up state so
The phone kept ringing but the call didn't go through, Ivan decided not to call anymore after three tries. "She is probably busy." He muttered to himself. "She will call me back after seeing this." He told himself. He threw the blanket off himself and climbed down the bed, his face scrunched as his head still ached. Picking up the golden cup, he drank the rest of its content and sighed then dropped the cup back on his table. Curiosity they say kills the cat, some people would be found dead for a reason nobody knew and no one would even know of their existence until they were found dead. The very maid that scrolled through Ivan's phone had lost her life due to her curiosity. Lying lifelessly in the middle of the street was her body, discovered early that very morning. "An unidentified body was found early this morning in the middle of main street, it appears that she was suffocated to death and according to the clip from the CCTV in the street, her body was dumped by a mysterious va
With the anger coursing through his veins, Ivan began heading for the door."Mr Wayne? Is everything alright?" Officer Wade questioned. "Mr Wayne? Young master Wayne!" Alfred called out.Ivan was defended by the anger he was feeling, he let his emotions get the best of him. He stepped out of the officer's office and took a few steps away from the entire police station building. Taking out his phone from his pocket, he dialed out Mr Andrews' number and waited impatiently as it rang in his ears.***Mr Andrews heaved a relaxed sigh as he sunk himself inside a swimming pool. Picking up the glass of cocktail next to him, he took a sip from it and heaved yet another sigh.The sound of high heels as it approached Mr Andrews caught his attention and a sexy looking lady in a bikini stopped right next to him. "Mr Andrews, you have a call." She stretched out her hand to give him his phone."Answer it." He said to her.She picked the call and placed the phone close to Mr Andrews face after put
Booking a flight for their next trip wasn't much of a hassle for Alfred. As he returned home, he carefully packed his things into his bag but he found it hard to concentrate, things haven't been the same since the whole issue with Mabel's death and Ivan's kidnapping and he didn't know if he was ready to open up to him just yet. He hadn't told him what really happened at Mr Andrews place yet and curiosity was eating Alfred up from the inside but from all his years of working with the Wayne family, he had learnt to have patience and not intrude until he was called upon.A sigh escaped his mouth. "I hope he is doing okay..." The door to his room door pushed open and Ivan walked in. "Hey! Our flight leaves when?" "Young master, our flight leaves in the next two hours." Alfred responded, his face lit up, there was a smile in his eyes. He was very happy to see Ivan."Do you think two hours is enough time for us to have a very long and complicated conversation?" Ivan asked, he was still s
The rest of the month moved so quickly, almost in the ratio of a day. The trips around the other countries were more or relaxing vacations for Ivan and Alfred, sure there were times they had to deal with little issues from Mr Andrews and even some other uncharted happenings but the most important thing was, the good times surpassed the bad and they had a lot of chill time.Ivan was beyond excited, he was finally returning to England, to his family, another school year would be starting soon and he was officially in his junior year already. Since the day he called to ask for China's number, he hadn't spoken to Mia with the hope that she should at least reach out to him first but she never did. That was what made him make up his mind to try his possible best to forget her, her silence had made it more than clear to him what she really wanted and he was more than ready to adhere to her wish. Since she so desperately wanted to remain as his house helper, who was he to force her to becom
The atmosphere suddenly changed, cool air flowed in from the window against Ivan's skin and caused it to tingle, sending every strand of hair on his body to remain standing. Mia stared at him with a look of amusement, she had not expected him to be at the Wayne residence at that very moment, she knew he was resuming school the next day so she expected him to be at home, preparing for resumption but then again, the Wayne was his house.She immediately bent her head to avert his gaze. "Good morning, young master Wayne." She greeted so professionally.Ivan let out a sigh, even though he knew she was adamant on her decision but he still felt disappointed that she treated him with so much formality. "Good morning Mia, I hope to see you when I get back but I got word that you were still in Russia with your mom.""Yes sir, I am sorry it took so long for me to return, she needed my assistance with some things and she believed you wouldn't get angry if I stayed a little longer with her and I
There were times that one's emotions felt bruised, and the same way as with a physical bruise, they took time to come up and really show themselves. Yet in that time Ivan had a chance to mitigate them, reduce them, render them more manageable. So... as hard as it was for him, he dragged himself out the door for some endorphin raising exercise. He heard from Alfred that it was a form of self medication, but there were worse ones to choose. It was a healthy coping strategy, Alfred told him.His parents were wondering what had got into him to make him start exercising so early in the morning before school, it had never happened before. When he was younger, probably ten years old. He got back from school, sad and angry. He had been a victim of bullying since he was little. He was so sad that day that he didn't eat. His mother walked up to him and sat next to him on the ground, he had been crying since he got back. Several times, she and her husband would report to the school headmaster
