Seduce & Destroy

CHAPTER EIGHT (Maziken Demone)

A few weeks later the sound of elevators ding woke me up at three forty-three in the night. I jumped out of bed and put on a sports bra and black boxers then moved to my nightstand and took leg straps with my knives and fastened them up. I hurried to wake Arian up so he can go lock himself in my study.

"Arian, Arian wake-up. Someone broke in and you have to go to my study and lock yourself in."- When he registered what I just said he jumped up and put his boxers on. I gave him my Sig Pro 2022 and he just kept looking at it.

"Arian, promise me you'll go straight to my study."- He just nodded. I walked to the door with one knife in each hand. I moved soundlessly and I moved quickly. I went down the stairs and pushed Arian in the direction of my study. I didn't look if he went or not and hurried to the kitchen where the sound was. Someone was standing behind the sink and I jumped and punched the right side of his face. My knife met with his left cheek and my right leg with his kidney. I moved my left leg under him so he fell on his back and I sat on his stomach and punched him again in his face and then put the knife in my right hand on his throat and pushed. And then he yelled and I figured out who the intruder is.

"Maze, hold up, it's me, Aaron! Put the knife down!"- My very stupid brother was lying underneath me.

"That's your brother?"- Arian asked. I should have guessed he won't go to the study, I mean why would he when his life might be in danger?

"What the fuck, Aaron? It's four in the morning, why are you here?"- I was shouting and then my personal bodyguard who lives in the penthouse with my housekeeper came rushing in with gun ready to fire. "No need to worry, Damon, it's just my idiotic brother wondering in the middle of the night around my penthouse."- I again shouted the last part of my sentence.

"Can you, please, let me stand up?"- Aaron asked me.

"Why aren't you in the study? What if that wasn't Aaron and someone killed you, ha?"- I was yelling at Arian.

"Don't you yell at me, Kitten."- Arian warned me.

"Is this your new plaything? He's hot. Damon, you can go back to sleep, I'm sorry I woke you up."- Aaron said. Damon and Aaron shared a look and both men nodded. Damon turned and walked out. I didn't start talking until he was out of the room.

"Actually, I'm his plaything."- I said and walked to one of the couches and sat down cross-legged. Aaron was looking at me like he saw a ghost and I wondered how his jaw didn't hit the floor already. Arian moved and sat next to me, but kept his eyes on Aaron and then commented.

"Jesus fucking Christ, you're completely identical except his taller."- And that was true. My brothers and I were identical. I just picked my mother's shortness while Aaron and Kieran got tall looks from our father. They were both six foot four while I was five foot three. The only difference between us except they were taller and male is that I am very pale while they have olive skin. We have the same colour of eyes and hair. We don't know from who we got our eye colour because our mom and dad had dark brown. We even sounded similar. I was a female version of Aaron and Kieran and they were male versions of me. Aaron laughed and introduce himself properly. They shook hands and Arian sat back on the couch while Aaron sat across us.

"Well, Maze, I see you haven't lost your skill."- Aaron said jokingly. I was far from laughing.

"Geez, Maze, no need to be so serious."- He said after he figured I won't answer him.

"Aaron, what's going on? You wouldn't be here at four a.m. unless something's up."- Concern laced my voice. His shoulder slumped and his gaze met the floor. When his eyes met mine they were troubled. Only then have I noticed the dark circles under his eyes and worn look he had. Whatever troubled him, it didn't happen today. I never expected the following words out of his mouth.
