Three fool, you can always run but you can never hide, especially from me... Never" Darcia spat and stood up
"Stupid Mr Sinclair" she said again
She glanced at the leader of the four men before walking out. Mr Sinclair having a faint idea what that sign might mean, he immediately clasped his hands together
"Please..... Please don't kill me" he pleaded but the leader only grinned evilly and pointed his gun at him
"Please" Sinclair pleaded, there were already tears in his eyes
The leader cocked his gun and Sinclair shut his eyes tightly, waiting for the worst. Some many thoughts were running through his mind, is this really how he's going to end?
A shot was heard and Sinclair took tight breath, he opened his eyes slowly and looked around, was he dead already?, He scanned the room, the men were gone but the people they killed were still laying in the pool of their blood
Instinctively he touched his body and found out he wasn't hurt, he looked down and saw a paper laying beside his feet, with shaky hands he took it. In it read:-
*I have my eyes on you*
He looked around with shuddered breath but no one was in sight, he exhaled deeply and sat down on the bare floor, his breath was shaky and his lips were quivering in fear, tears were threatening to fall from his eyes
It was now clear that the worst mistake he ever made was to extort money from Brown (Luciano's) Company, as his daughter was as ruthless as the devil.

Maverick sighed as he placed Corrie gently on the bed, she was still unconscious, luckily Darcia had enough guestrooms so they took one
"What were you doing there?" Maverick muttered as he stroked her hair, she would be up by morning and she'd explain everything to him.
He removed the stray hair covering her eyes then wiped a tear from her cheek, leaned in and kissed the tip of her nose. He stood up after covering her with the duvet, turned off the light and walked out of the room where he met Darcia standing by the door
"How's she?" Darcia asked
"Stable, I only put her to sleep for a few hours" Maverick replied
"Why was she there by the way?" Darcia asked again but Maverick only shrugged cluelessly, in truth he too had no idea
"You done your job yet?" He asked and Darcia nodded as they walked downstairs to the kitchen and sat on a stool
"Yea, easy"
"Your dad's company, how's it going?"
"It's back but not completely as I still have to eliminate a few ass hairs" She said and took a sip of the wine she had gotten from the club
"You found your mate yet?" Maverick suddenly asked taking Darcia off guard, she wasn't expecting the question
Instead of replying, she took an apple and bit hugely on it
"Really? Who is he?" Maverick asked with wide eyes
"He's taken" she replied calmly and Maverick pursed his lips
"She's taken too" he muttered and Darcia looked at him
"Yes, Corrie is my mate" he replied sadly
"But she ....."
"You don't have to say it, I know" Darcia cut in calmly
They heard footsteps and turned to see Livia rubbing her eyes sleepily
"What? You sleep walking again?" Maverick asked amusingly
"Maverick? What are you..... Is this a dream?" Livia asked dramatically causing Maverick to laugh
"It is" He responded
"No, Darcia can never be in my dream and I definitely not sleep walking, what are you doing here?" Livia asked as she took a seat opposite them
"I came to surprise you" Maverick replied but Livia shook her head in disbelief
"You have no heart to surprise someone" She said and Maverick gasped at this
"You..... You've hurt my poor heart" He said with a funny accent
"Oh spare me that" Livia rolled her eyes
"Nope, I've had enough, come here" Maverick said and dived Livia who ran away from him immediately
Darcia could only lean back as she watched the cat and dog run around the kitchen like children, slowly a light smile appeared on her lips
Meanwhile Jevin was watching them from the shadows, he shook his head, his face expressionless
"Seems she disturbs everyone too" he said and turned to leave.

The next morning, Corrie yawned tiredly, her head was aching badly. With a light groan she sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room, the room wasn't bright, the heavy curtain was keeping the sun from coming in
"Ahhh" she groaned again when she felt another sharp pain in her head
Almost immediately the door opened and Maverick walked in, he was in casual black t-shirt and black sweatpants, his hair was messy giving him this hot and sexy house guy vibe
"Good morning, I see you're awake" Maverick said, he was carrying a tray of food
"Yes" Corrie replied silently
"Eat up, I brought you breakfast" He said
Corrie only stared at the fruit but didn't touch it
"I get you're scared of me but I seriously can't poison you" Maverick said
His heart squeezed in hurt when she still didn't touch the food, slowly he was getting angry
"What were you doing there by the way? What if I wasn't there with Darcia? Who knows what could've happened?!" Maverick yelled and Corrie flinched in fear, tears gathered around her eyes
Maverick sighed and roughed his hair
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scream at you that way... I was just worried and scared" his voice was low and gently that Corrie bursted into tears
"Shhhh... don't cry.... I'm sorry that I yelled" he said soothingly and Corrie sniffed shaking her head
"It's not that" she hiccuped
"Then what?" He asked
"It was him who sent me there.... H...he called and gave me the address, so I went, I had no idea he was planning...." She cried again and Maverick pulled her into a hug stroking her hair
He clenched his fist angrily
"We broke up last week, I thought he wanted to give me back the bracelet I gifted him, that was what he said" she added
"It's okay, you're safe now" he said and she nodded
"I'm hungry" she pouted causing Maverick to smile
"Is the drugs they have you taking its effect now?" He asked amusingly
"No, I'm hungry and I want you to feed me" she said
"Alright" He said and brought the tray closer to themselves
Looking at him, Corrie smiled.
