* First book in the Hidden Series *
There are 2 ways to keep a secret.
One is by covering it all up. Pretending that another idea is the truth. Changing and twisting the original idea to protect yourself, change your identity. One example of this i...
Jonah was definitely speeding. He was going at like 100mph, and I'm here holding on for dear life.
" What the hell are you doing?!" I shout at him, he was so chill about this, it was freaking me out. " Kitten, I'm untouchable, I can go as fast as I want," He says, his eyes on the road. " Cocky son of a.." I mutter to myself, trying not to look outside and keep my eyes closed.
When we finally reach the warehouse, I'm pretty shaken up, and Jonah just casually walks in while I'm still in shock in just how fast we went.
The warehouse wasn't anything like I thought it would be, it was disguised as some sort of a very big house, which naturally confused me since I thought it would have been bigger.
Then I walk inside, and I realise how big it actually was. It was all underground. There were stairs leading down and from what I could hear, there were gunshots and fights for training.
" Wow...I mean," I say, taking in everything. " Go downstairs and start training," He orders ashe turns and then starts talking to someone else.
Ugh.
I go downstairs andwalk towards where the punching bags and everything else was. Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn around quickly.
" Ha! Got you!" Scarlet grins when I turn around. " Ugh, was that necessary?" I ask, trying to exaggerate my annoyance. " Yes, and come on fight me!" She says while dragging me into the small arena-stage kind of thing.
" I..uh...sure?" I say while she pulls me on, confused as to what just happened. She gets into the stance as do I, and she starts to throw a few punches as I block all of them.
I then block one of her punches and kick her in the stomach as she falls backwards. She doesn't move.
" Scarlet?!" I say, shaking her, praying that I didn't just make her unconscious. She doesn't wake up. " Oh my god Scarlet! Just get up! Why would you even suggest me to fight you?!" I say, nearly in tears but mainly just angry.
I turn around, and then I hear laughter. " Oh my god you are so gullible!" Scarlet laughs uncontrollably. " You bitch! What the hell?!" I shout at her. " Hey, you fought well, I just thought it would be funny!" She defends.
" It was quite funny," A smirking Jonah says, while standing in the corner. " You were there the entire time?!" I say, like what the actual hell is going on?! Why does everyone find teasing me so amusing.
I give Jonah a little fake punch as he looks at me amused. " So..I'll show you around and then you can do what you want here Kitten," He says without smirking or anything.
He then hands me a gun. " Just in case," He says.
I wish I could make him smile.!
Scarlet nudges me. " Since when did Jonah give nicknames," " Don't ask me, it's the most annoying thing ever," I say while rolling my eyes. Scarlet smiles knowingly, trying not to laugh. I know what she's going to say, but it's not true.

The next hour was just me looking around the warehouse and it wasmassive. I should make sure I come here a lot.
And then some girl comes up to Jonah and I. So I don't want to be mean, but the amount of skin this girl was showing should be illegal. " Hi Jonah," She giggles.
Of course this has to happen. Everywhere there has to be that girl. To be fair they are human and I'm not one to judge.
" Hi, I'm Ivy," I say, cutting into her 'googly eye' look at Jonah. " Hi..I'm Sabrina," She says while looking me up and down.
She's totally judging me.
" So...You want to go to mine?" Sabrina asks Jonah, ignoring me completely. " Sabrina can we not?" He says while walking away.
I follow him as a I desperately don't want to be stuck with Sabrina. " Sabrina's annoying, but you'll learn to get used to her, she's a spy and she's good at what she does," He says to me. " Yeah.." I reply while looking at the floor.
We were now outside and heading to Jonah'scar. His face suddenly becomes more serious. "Ivy listen, get on the floor behind my car now," He whispers into my ear.
" You want me to what?!" I say, panic slowly starting to overwhelm me. " Just go!" He says, pushing me in that direction.
I run as fast as I can, clutching onto the gun Jonah had given me before. I watch from behind the car, a completely different side of Jonah was emerging. He wasn't just cold, he was brutal, one by one grabbing the attackers and shooting them down while more of Jonah's men came to help.
I watch as Jonah gets tackled to the floor and his gun taken away.
Shit.
I grab out my gun and try and aim.
Please don't let me hit Jonah.
I pull the trigger and hear the loud gunshot as I fall behind from my kneeling position. Taking a deep breath, I look at what I did, and thankfully Jonah was up again, looking at me with...pride? He wasn't smiling or anything, but his eyes say it all.
I get up and decide to join the party. We were swiftly getting rid of all the attackers until no more came.
" Who...the...hell...were...they," I say between pants. " They, are another gang, one that doesn't like us very much," He replies, checking if his car is okay.
" We should go back home," I say. " I'm glad to know you have accepted it as your home now," He says while sitting inside.
The drive back was the same as the one before. Extremely fast. I tried toget used to it, but it wasn't something that is easy to get used to, for me anyway.
Then we return back, and the sight was horrible. There was blood on the floor everywhere outside and I started panicking again. " Jonah...what happened?!" I ask. " Those clever bastards," He mutters. " Jonah what happened?!" I shout this time. " They used what happened at the warehouse as a diversion to get into my house...and since we had more men there, there weren't enough to defend the house..." He trails off, staring at the sight.
I walk in and then I realise. " VALENTINA!" I scream, tears threatening to fall as I run around the freaking mansion desperately trying to find Valentina.
" Quinn?" I hear a small voice ask from a wardrobe.
I couldn't care less if she called me Quinn, I open it and find Clarissa and Valentina huddled together.
" Oh my god what happened?" I whisper.
