Chapter Fifteen

It hit me like a ton of bricks, realising I was going to meet Adriel’s father. Adopted, but it was all the same. He was the man who had true control. He commanded Adriel and the entire fucked-up organisation that killed and stole people in their sleep. Evan told me he trained children to be killers, conditioned them to become emotionless voids like my twin brother. Mom seemed to have some kind of sway on the man, but I didn’t know how much it would protect me. Especially since the whole thing was about Vernon contacting me. He was the one everyone was after, and I was still clueless as to why.

I didn’t want to take a single step into the building. I forced my body to move as I followed Adriel into the building. Inside I was greeted by a sleek and shiny marble floor, with a matching desk. The bright lights were blinding and I squinted at the sparkling floor. Behind the front desk, there was a huge sign. Metal letters that were raised out from the wall with backlighting. MEDUSA BANKING. A bank. What better way was there to launder money I thought. They were hiding in plain sight, right under their victims’ noses. It was so simple it was unexpected. An easy way to clean their blood money.

A young man, not much older than Adriel or I was dressed in a smart black suit. His hair was neatly cut and perched on his nose were a pair of thick-rimmed glasses. Adriel strolled up to the counter, placing his hands on the solid marble while I stood a couple of feet behind him.

“Where’s my father?” Adriel asked. The man looked up.

“Of course, Master Adriel. Head on up.” He answered with a smile, as if he were in awe. I scoffed lightly and looked around the rest of the reception. Either side of the double doors were waiting areas with black leather sofas on silver frames and small coffee tables with glass tops. The entire area was empty, but it was still early hours, even if it was a headquarters for a bunch of assassins.

Assassins. The word was blended into my vocabulary.

Adriel gripped my elbow and pulled me towards twin elevators. He pressed the button and we waited in heavy silence. I yanked my elbow from his grip.

“Stop manhandling me.” I snapped. Nerves were coursing through my entire body causing me to shake and the last thing I needed was Adriel to know that. He also didn’t need to know how much I wanted to kiss him again.

Adriel didn’t send a remark back, instead he watched as the levels descended. The doors slid open and he stepped inside, turning on his heel to face me. When I stepped in I attempted to create as much space as I possibly could in the small box.

It was harder than expected. I could feel the heat radiating off him. The feel of his lips on mine, which made it harder not to dive on him.
