AORA : His Little Liar

47

Adrian.

Jace and I were currently discussing a line of action should Mason show up anytime. "Protecting Z is my top priority. I can't afford for anything to happen to her." I said as I stood up and walked around the table to stand beside Jace.

Just as he's about to respond, the door to my office is thrown open and Jenna runs in. Her eyes met mine briefly before she turned to Jace. "Wrap a baby donkey." I frowned in confusion. What the fuck does that mean? Jace stared in shock at her and I seemed to be out of the loop of whatever was going on.

He looked at me. "They're here. They've come for her." He said and my eyes hardened. Jace looks back at Jenna before speaking. "Tell Z these exact words: I've swaddled the donkey." The serious expression on his face threw me off.

What bloody donkey are they talking about? Jenna leaves without hesitation and I turn to my right hand for explanation. "It's a code word. Zara explained it to me few hours ago. And I'm sorry but I can't tell you more than this. You just have to trust her." He said and I cursed in Italian.

"I don't care about whatever donkey you both are raising. Mobilize the men to stand guard and take me to my Donna." I snapped and he nodded in respect.

When I finally reached Zara, she was strapping guns and weapons to herself. I said nothing and helped her with the guns on her waist band. She let me and just stood still till I was done. I looked at her and she smiled softly taking my face in her hands.

"I'm not gonna die." I roll my eyes at that. Of course she had to say that first. "You better not. What do you want me to do?" I asked wrapping my hands around her waist. I'm taking full advantage of this moment. Especially as she initiated it. She tilts her head to the side, a habit of hers before speaking.

"Naturally, I'd have you beside me but you've got a more important job to do." I frown. More important than protecting her?

"Mason isn't just coming for me. He's coming for all three of us but mainly me. He wants to take down S.I and right now, Hades, Diana and I are it's pillars."

"I'm going to need you to help protect it. And us." She explained and I let out a sigh. "Anything for you Angel. I'd do anything." She leans forward and press a kiss to my lips, lingering for a moment. It felt like she was hesitant. So I took the lead and kissed her further.

She gasped not expecting it, and it only made me ravish her more with the access she unknownly gave. Her hands loosely wrapped around my neck and I pressed her body against mine as she kissed me back as well.

We finally pulled away, hungry for air our lips just merely inches apart. "You will do that again. After we're done killing Mason." She breathes out and I laughed.

My Angel.

"Anything for you Mia Cara." She blushed furiously at the nickname leaving me slightly surprised but I just laughed it off and stood up right.

"As much I love the idea of you two together, we have things to do and people after our lives so break it up." Hades said walking into the room and I glared at him. Zara smirked and tossed a knife at him. He caught it without looking and tucked it away.

"Where's Diana and Min Sung? Do they have everythung ready?" She asked going over to him and I just stood in my spot, watching them interact.

"They're in the van. Where's your mask?" Hades helps her put it on much to my annoyance but I say nothing. She turns to me with inquisitive eyes and I walk over to her.

"As dangerous as the first time I set eyes on you." I say and she giggles. She fucking giggles. I'm pissed because I wasn't the only one to hear that. Fucking Hades had to be here.
