Her Secrets

12

It had been exactly one week since I was mistakenly kidnapped by Sean and since he found out that Alessio and I were siblings. After that, he asked us a lot of questions which, of course, I didn't reply with a straight answer. Arguing with Sean was funny, I was going to admit that. Well, anyways, after that, Alessio dropped me to my house and I spent a whole hour in my bathtub.

I was currently on my way to the racing club. Racing was my escape from reality though I wasn't going there to race at that time. I just needed a job or something to keep me busy for a while. It helped a lot that Alessio owned the whole place. I parked my car in the familiar parking before making my way inside the place which was a little crowded like always. These people were all involved in illegal stuffs and all that.

I made my way inside the bar in hopes of finding the two guys I was looking for. I grinned when I saw the familiar guy.

"Hey Ed," he raised his head from his phone and flashed me a friendly smile as I asked, "you got a job for me?"

"A job?" Eden repeated, "why not race?"

"Not in the mood to win today," I said earning a smirk from Eden, "you're so full of yourself, darling."

"So, the job?" I took a seat on one of the tables there, "my head's hurting like a bitch."

Eden came behind me before taking my scrunchie off, letting my hair loose. He then ran a hand through my long soft black hair and gave me a small head massage, "better?"

"Thank you Eddie," I smirked when he chuckled, "Don't call me that. If Ben was to hear you, he'd start calling me that too. It makes me feel like a kid or somethin—"

"—Call you what?" Ben asked, cutting Eden off as he made his way towards us.

"Nothing," Eden was quick to say from behind me. Ben narrowed his eyes suspiciously, letting out a sigh, "good to see you again, Thena."

"How have you been?" I asked Ben who replied with a smile, "very well, you?"

"I'm fin—" I cut myself off when my eyes fell on the ring in his finger. I grabbed Eden's hand which was on my head and brought it in front of my eyes which widened slightly when I saw a ring on his finger as well. "Oh my god!"

"Did I forget to mention that Ben and I are engaged?" Eden asked sheepishly from behind me making me roll my eyes, "what do you think, buddy?"

"I thought he told you!" Ben groaned, rolling his eyes at Eden who flashed him an innocent shrug, "but yeah, we are engaged! Isn't it exciting?"

"I'm so happy for you two!" I shot up from the table before engulfing Ben in a hug then Eden as well. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, sweetheart." Eden said with a smile while Ben flashed me a thankful nod and a grin which I returned.

"Do any of you have a job for me to do?" I asked, beginning to play with the bracelet on my wrist. 

"I do," Ben spoke up making my ears perk up, "there's this guy who has been talking with my sister and I do not approve."

I raised my brows at him, "what do you want me to do?"

"Get rid of him for me. I want him gone." He said making me roll my eyes, "I'm not an assassin."

"But you've killed." Eden pointed out, "and you're trained."

I shot him a warning look, "keep your mouth shut. I don't want anyone else to find out." My eyes roamed around the place just in case anybody was eavesdropping. "Anyway, I was talking of the waitress kind of job, you know? And, you can't just kill a guy because he's got the hots for your sister."

"He's a motherfucking stalker!" Ben exclaimed, "He follows her on Pinterest, Instagram, twitter and he likes, comments and shares all her posts! How would you call that?"

"A supportive boyfriend?" I furrowed my brows, narrowing my eyes at the boy, "it sounds like you're the stalker here."
