Ava and Hana arrived at the Anderson estate, her silver grey hair tied neatly behind her, black shorts with long leather black boots, a white crop top adorned with a black denim jacket. Hana was hesitant to go inside.. she hasn't seen Eric's parents since the funeral, that was the last time she saw Emma too, she was just a little girl who lost both her parents.. Eric's parents didn't let her get closer to Emma or say hello, ' it's better this way'. they said..She didn't even stick around and returned to Thailand, Ava was all alone after all.. and she needed to return to her.
They made their way to the front door and rang the doorbell, one of servants opened the door.
" Good day, how may I assist you?." The maid asked politely.
An elderly maid was walking towards the living room when she saw Hana, she paused for a while staring at her.. obviously shocked to see her there.
" Ms Hana." She made her way towards them, giving her a hug.
" Matilda, it's so good to see you.. how are you." Hana smiled.
" I'm well, how are you... it's been so long my goodness." Hana nodded with a warm smile.
" Is Mr and Mrs Anderson home?." She spoke.
" Of course, come on in... this way." She led them further into the living room. Mr and Ms Anderson stood as soon as Hana and Ava walked in, their face full of displeasure and disappointment in their eyes. Their expression made Ava dance inside..it was satisfying to look at. She walked towards them with a cute innocent smile with intensions of giving them a hug, Ms Anderson stepped back.. glaring at her.
" What are you two doing here? you're supposed to be in Thailand...far away." She said coldly, Hana opened her mouth to speak when Ava raised her hand at her... making her pause and swallow her words, she'll do the talking..she knew her Aunt was too weak around these people and she'll only end up apologizing.
Ava tilted her head to look at them. " Is this how you welcome your eldest granddaughter home? Grandma, and... Grandpa."
" You can't be here Ava, and you." She turns to Hana. " You know too well, not to come here... especially with her." Ms Anderson spoke.
" You treat me as though I am a disease Ms Anderson, I'm your granddaughter for goodness sake...I have been away from my family for far to long, it's about time I reunite with my little sister... wouldn't you say?." A sly smile made it's way to her lips.
" You won't go near Emma understood, you won't tell her anything." Ava went and took a seat, crossing her long leg on the other as she stared at both her grandparents.
" Is that a threat grandma, or are you asking politely? I can't tell." She takes out a cigarette lighting it up.
' great, she smokes '
Ms Anderson mumbles, Ava puffs out smoke. " Since you're asking nicely, I will stay away from your dear Emma..I won't tell her anything. But!." She stood staring at them dead in the eyes. " My Aunt and I, are not going anywhere...we will stay here where we belong." She says, ordering the maids to take their bags upstairs. Her grandparents said nothing.. giving her a satisfied smile. " Great we're in agreement, oh, pray she won't be the one to bump into me...I don't think I will hold back my thrill to hug her, if you excuse us...my Aunt and I will get settled in." She takes Hana's hand proceeding upstairs.
"Tsk."
Ms Anderson angrily sat back down feeling defeated, her husband squeezed her hand comfortingly.
" We both knew we couldn't keep them away from one another forever, this day was bound to come." He told her.
" I'm worried for our granddaughter, Ava is crazy... she'll hurt her." Ms Anderson looked pale and worried for her youngest granddaughter.
" Or maybe Ava simply wants to get closer to her sister, let's try to give her a chance." He kisses her hand.
A few days went by.
Ava kept her promise and stayed away from Emma, she barely left the house... that night, her phone rang.. it was a unidentified number, she knew it was work related. She swiped the screen answering it.
" I have a job for you." The man spoke on the other end.
" What is it?."
" There's an important document you need to retrieve for me, it isn't an easy task to steal from him... that's why I'm handing over the job to you, Ava." He told her.
" Send me the details." She said hanging up, her phone buzzed receiving an email, she opened it going through it. Her eyebrows raised up seeing who's she's about to steal from. ' well this is interesting, is he trying to get me killed or what?'
She gets out of bed going to her closet... picking out tight leather pants, a black long sleeve leather top... and black high heel boots, she ties her grey - silver hair... putting on a black wig.
Everyone was asleep making it easier for her to sneak out, she gets on her motorbike driving off.
Shortly after, Ava infiltrates in the high - risk headquarters of Z.N Group. Her mission: to steal the document that incriminate the criminal activities of Trinity corporation in Mexico.
Ava slips past security guards and laser beams with ease, her athletic physique and black leather catsuit allowing her to move with silent precision. She reaches the CEOs office, where the document is stored in a safe. Just as Ava cracks the safe and retrieved the document, she heard a clearing of the throat coming from a dark corner of the room, Ava is caught off guard... slowly turning around.
Alec, with his imposing figure and sharp piercing blue eyes, is taken aback by the sight of Ava, her raven black hair and piercing grey eyes illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window.
" What do we have here?." His voice low and even.
Ava smirks, her eyes never leaving Alec's. " Just collecting what I'm told to collect."
Alec locked his eyes on the document in her hands. " I think you're asking for a death wish."
Ava raised her eyebrow. Intrigued by Alec's boldness. She knows she must escape, but a part of her wants to play this dangerous game with non other than Alec Qinn.
Ava and Alec engaged in a thrilling battle of wits and physical prowess. They circle each other, their eyes locked in a fierce stare.
Ava, with her agility and quick reflexes, dodge's Alec's initial attacks, her movements almost ethereal. She retaliates with swift kicks and punches, but Alec, with his strength and tactical training, blocks and counterattacks.
The two exchange blows, their movements lightening - fast. Ava lands a series of rapid - fire punches, but Alec absorbs them, his eyes never leaving hers. He seizes her wrist, pulling her close, their faces inches apart.
" I wasn't expecting you to be such a formidable opponent, I will give you that."
Ava's eyes flash with defiance. She uses her free hand to deliver a sharp jab to Alec's jaw, breaking free from his grasp. The fight continues, with neither gaining the upper hand.
The tension between them cracks with electricity. Ava knew this fight will go on till day break if she doesn't abort, she needs to get out of there ASAP. With or without the document, her life depended on it, she knew to say this man would kill her if he has to. And she wasn't planning on dying so easily...not here of all places.
She lands a perfectly aimed kick on Alec's chest, sending him stumbling backward. She seizes the opportunity to make a break through for the window. With a graceful leap, Ava vaults onto the windowsill, the city skyline gleaming behind her. Alec recovers quickly, dashing towards her with a determined expression.
Ava releases the grappling hook and drops onto the rooftop terrace, rolling to absorb the impact as she springs to her feet, and disappearing into the night.
An amusing smirk slips it's way up to his lips, staring at the bright moon through the window.
" Here is the original document, Sir." Aron walks in handing him the original one, Alec takes it staring at it.
" Does he really think I'm stupid enough to let such an important document, incriminating his company stay in my office? He even sends an assassin agent." He gave a dark - short chuckle.
" If the original document is here, what did she take?." Aron asked curiously. Alec sighs fixing his eyes in the dark night.
" It's the same document, except I have the real one... and she has a copy, I will seize that company soon enough." He says checking the time on his wrist watch. It was already midnight, with a boredom expression..he turns to leave with Aron trailing behind him.
