Neriah, 17 ans, vit seule dans une immense maison, fille de deux journalistes célèbres souvent absents. Pour elle, le silence est devenu une habitude, presque une prison. Quand son ancien garde du corps part sans prévenir, elle décide de chercher son remplaçant.
Un nom retient son attention : Viper. Ancien militaire, regard glacial, dossier presque vide. Un inconnu entouré de mystère.
Une nuit, alors qu'une coupure d'électricité plonge la maison dans le noir, il apparaît sans prévenir. Massif, froid, imprévisible. Et désormais chargé de la protéger.
Mais de quoi, exactement ?
Plus les jours passent, plus Neriah sent que quelque chose lui échappe. Entre peur et fascination, elle découvre que Viper cache bien plus qu'un passé trouble. Et peut-être que sa venue n'a rien d'un hasard.
"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams."
My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me.
"What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us.
"I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again.
"T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go."
"It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble."
I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker. I get nervous around him. I don't know what this feeling is but this feeling is different. A feeling that I have never felt for anyone.
"Understood?" he said again.
I nodded. "Yes Mr. Parker."
