...Let's play a game..."Hey Ivan..." I started. "Wanna play a game?""What's the game? Interrogate the information out of me?" Ivan asked me, catching me off guard.'The hell, how did he know? There's no way I was this obvious.'"I have my ways of knowing Blackdoll, so are you gonna ask or what?" Ivan was smirking at himself in such an evil manner.Blackdoll was my codename that only the agency knows and uses. How would Ivan of all people know my codename when I'm not even a top-rank agent?"Let's talk about Apex. What do you—""I don't," Ivan interrupted."What?""I apologize let me rephrase that I don't know anything about Apex," Ivan explained, which shocked me.Wait a minute, now what does he mean by 'I don't know anything'? He works with Apex he is a member, hell, the face of the organization. How can he, of all people, know nothing about it?"You're lying.""I'm not.""If you're not gonna answer, I'll bring backup, and they'll get you to answer instead," I responded, going into my bag and grabbing my phone. I start to dial one of the agents."Then I'll just scream out for help.""Don't even try the walls are soundproof. Which is very convenient for me," I bragged.I called Max and told him the location we were at and to bring backup because of Ivan's guards. I noticed while I was talking to Max that Ivan was either completely still or just knocking on the wall. It was weird, but it wasn't too weird that it got my complete attention."Ok, backup is coming for you, so don't do anything stupid while we wait," I ordered."Can we at least fuck?""No,""Well, at least I tried."I started changing into my uniform with my back towards him, and I heard him catcalling me. After I finished changing, I looked back at him, and not only was his blindfold missing, but the cuffs and the rope that I used on him were all broken.I grabbed my gun and pointed it at him."Guns don't hurt me I can heal quickly." Ivan cockily said, "If you don't believe me, then shoot me.""No,""Why not? You scared? But I thought the room was soundproof."He caught me the room isn't soundproof. I lied so he wouldn't scream, and he fell for it. I need an excuse quickly."I don't want to kill you I need you for evidence." That's pretty true, honestly."Then shoot my hand I don't mind," Ivan insisted, and I kept on getting tired.Ivan stood up and started walking to me."If you keep moving, I'm gonna shoot you," I warned him, standing my ground.Ivan walked up to me and forcefully pointed the gun at his hand.Why is he so close to me? And God, why does he smell so good? He puts his face close to mine. My heart starts to beat faster while it feels like we're practically centimeters away from each other. I looked at his lips, feeling his breath on my face."You wanna know something?" Ivan whispered to me.I looked Ivan in the eyes, and I could feel my heart beating even more quickly."What?" I asked him.With how close he was, it looked like he was gonna kiss me."You're very gullible," Ivan smirked to himself, stole the gun from my hand, and jumped back, aiming it at me.I am gullible, not gonna lie. I don't even know how I'm even a B rank when I fell for a trick like that. I should've known not to let my guard down as soon as he broke free. That was my mistake, and now I have to pay the price.I pull out a pocket knife and move swiftly towards him in a scattered manner, stabbing him in the side and throwing a kick at him in the stomach."Ok damn, I didn't see that coming," Ivan groaned while trying to keep his balance.I ran up to him, punching him in the chest and giving him a high kick to the face, knocking him on the bed."Fuck, give me time to breathe," Ivan begged and stole the gun out of my hands, then he grabbed me and pinned me on the bed.Ivan suddenly threw the gun away from us, making sure I couldn't move my legs or my arms."Stop, damn, I wasn't trying to kill you I was only joking. I was just trying to show you that I heal quick," Ivan explained while I was squirming underneath him.I suddenly saw the wounds and bruises on his body heal quickly, which shocked me. I looked at him breathing heavily and realized he wasn't lying."But I don't get it. What do you get out of not killing me? You are my enemy, so why aren't you?" I asked him, and he looked away from my face."Because I just don't want to," Ivan admitted, and my face softened.So this guy is safe. He truly doesn't know anything and doesn't want to harm me. Ivan isn't the bad guy here he can't be.Ivan lets go of my hands and sits next to me. I sit up next to him and sigh to myself."Ivan, who are you?" I asked him, genuinely confused at this point."Ivan Petrov,""No, not that.""Well, that's who I am, and I know who you are, Blackdoll, or do you prefer Aisha?" Ivan asked me"See, you do stuff like that, and I question whether or not to trust you or not. How do you know my actual name?" I asked Ivan skeptical about him."I've been watching you for a while. I know about your brother, your dead parents, your ex-husband, your dead ki—""STOP!" I shouted at him before he continued.This man knows everything about me. I was screwed from the get-go. He knew I was coming here to get so that makes sense why he came here. He wasn't comfortable with the atmosphere or the people. Ivan has been spying on me and waiting to meet me here.That's the only thing that makes sense if he's been watching me for a while.I stood up facing away from him to take a breather."What do you get out of stalking me?" I was not ready for any answer he was planning to give me."Simple. I kinda like you," Ivan confessed.Excuse me...Excuse you, actually... but did he just say he liked me? As in he has a crush on me or I intrigued him in some way? Those are two different things and have two different outcomes."I had a crush on you, so I thought about stalking you until I had the perfect moment I could lead you on here," Ivan continued rubbing the back of his neck while looking away shyly.There's absolutely no way that's possible for him to lead me on here. Max said that he gave me this mission as any other mission he'd give to anyone else. There wasn't any deliberation; it was just a pure coincidence.There's no way to deliberately decide on a perfect moment like this to meet with him. Does that mean he was just...Really lucky?"Also, I know this might be a bad time to ask, but can you help me with something?" Ivan asked me, looking down as if it was something embarrassing."What is it?" I facepalmed, not wanting to deal with his shit.I looked down in the direction he was and noticed his hard-on."You don't have to do this if you don't want to it's just making me uncomfortable." Ivan rambled, and at this point, I was just so done with this world.And you think this wouldn't make me feel uncomfortable?...Someone, please have mercy on me.
