A living weapon in a gilded cage... When the head of the Couvillion Syndicate dies unexpectedly, his ruthless and brilliant daughter Yvette should be the unquestioned choice to take his place. Or that's what Yvette thinks. But her father's people still see her as a child. They think they can take what is rightfully hers. They don't see that she's every bit as cold-blooded as her father was. She's heard of a group that trains assassins with unnatural powers. A living weapon who can turn invisible at will sounds like just the edge she needs. But this organization won't just give one of their assassins away. As always, Yvette will need to take what she wants-by any means necessary. To Delta-Nine-308, who has never left her training compound, Yvette's gilded cage is as good as freedom-and freedom is terrifying. She longs to go home to her familiar cell. But living with Yvette means soft beds and cookies and the novel concept of free time. It means late-night conversations with her desperately lonely captor, who has started confiding in her as if they're friends. She's never had a friend before. She doesn't want to give all this up. And all she has to do to keep it is kill whoever Yvette wants her to kill. Unseen is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 55,000 words long, or about 180 pages.

»Der Kotzbrocken hier«, er deutet auf sich, »wird nun diesen Raum verlassen. Dann wir er in sein Haus spazieren und die vielen Überwachungskameras anschalten, damit er jeder deiner Bewegungen mitverfolgen kann. Jede einzelne!« Mein Atem vermischt sich mit seinem, denn so nah beugt er sich zu mir hinunter. Mit einer enormen Furcht warte ich auf seine nächsten Sätze, die mich die Luft anhalten lassen und jede Hoffnung zerstören. Ich möchte bitterlich weinen. »Dann wird irgendjemand dir einen Besuch abstatten, um dir Informationen zu entlocken und wenn das getan ist, dann«, er stiert mir in die Augen. Sie scheinen dunkler zu sein, als vorher, was mir noch mehr Angst bereitet. Seinen Satz beendet er nicht mit Worten, aber mit einer Geste. Dann wird er mich Töten. Das Werk enthält, aber keine gravierenden, Logik-, sowie Grammatik oder Rechtschreibfehler. Es wird einer allgemeinen Überarbeitung unterzogen, die gerade stattfindet.

This is the ENGLISH VERSION of TAKING WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY HIS! "You're planning on leaving me again? Tell me, is that really how you see me? That after we made love last night, you would just go and leave me like nothing happened?" she looked down while trying her best not to let the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. "Answer me, damn it!" He said in a thunderous voice. She got startled because of his loud voice but she couldn't help but to feel resentful towards him. Why was he acting as if she was the one who did something terrible to him? She pushed him away from her. "Yes! I am planning on leaving this house because I can't stay here with you!" He looked at her with disbelief and....pain? "Why?" "Because-" she wanted to speak and tell his resentment towards him; all of the things that she's been keeping inside all time but nothing came out of her lips. "What? You can't say anything? Admit it Gaelle! You still love me but you can't accept that fact that's why you're leaving! You're leaving because you're a coward!" her tears fell. She couldn't stop them. Why is this happening to her? Why do they have to meet again after all this time? "That's not true!" She tried to sound stern and brave as she met his gaze. He smirked and stared at her intently like he wanted her to melt under his heated gaze. "I know you very well, chérie. I know it's still me and no one else. The way you made love to me last night told me so" she couldn't accept what he was saying. Her brain was against it. "Don't call me that! I hate you! I f*cking hate you!" She yelled and hit his chest with her fists. "I told you before, chérie; you're mine and always be mine. No matter what you do, it's still me, Gaelle! Only me!" he hissed and then claimed her lips for a punishing kiss. Highest rank in romance #17
