Accidentally in love
Chapter 1
I was in my loft, standing in front of my full length mirror. I was pale white. My curly auburn hair hung loose over my strong, feminine shoulders
My green eyes sparkled from tears gathering in them. My cheeks had lines where the tears had stained them before.
I let out a deep sigh and slumped over to my closet and picked one of the gorgeous outfits that Amanda supplied me with.
I walked down the hall the kitchen appeared. I was extremely hungry and due to my emotional disturbance and not wanting to chew, I had to go with one other option I never would have considered. A shake.
With a white bowl under my arm, I threw in everything that looked like it could work in liquid form.
It didn't turn out to be as delicious, but had to do for now. While I was cleaning up, my eyes fell on a photo on the refrigerator door. My eyes started to fill up with tears again. Nathan look back at me from the photo. That day we were on the beach but he fell asleep so I pasted his ice cream cone on his forehead and took a picture. .
I had to break it off. If you loved someone and didn't want them to get hurt, you had to let them go. Even though that was a cheesy line, that was exactly the rules of Division. No romantic entanglements. It was for his own safety.
Well now that you think about it, anyone who had a relationship with me, Alexandra Udinov, always ended heartbroken, injured or dead. That was the price to pay if you known Alexandra Udinov, long lost heir of one of the most popular corporations around the world. A Russian program called Zetrov.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sharp tone of my phone. I grabbed it.
"This is Alex."
"Hello Alex." I heard through the line.
"Amanda." I breathed.
"Hope I'm not bothering you." She asked.
"Not at all, what's up?" I sighed.
"I need you to get a hold of Nikita's phone. Last night she entered a club who managed to confiscate her phone. Harbour Meats is the entrance of the club. Once you got it, bring it back to me." The line went dead.
"Yes, Amanda, my day is going great, thanks for asking!" I shoved my phone in my pocket and head for the door.
It was a long ride to the base where Division was located. My ID dangled on my keychain.
Okay, so I had to take out a few men to get the phone, so I was a little bit late. Amanda would have to understand.
After I drove into headquarters, I was, once again, in a bottomless pit. There was no end for the bad memories and moments here.
I walked into the operations booth, which had a view of the area where the recruits were training. I was greeted by various guards and other personal.
I heard the sound of endless typing. Our new tech-girl Sonya, smiled a warm smile when she saw my face.
"Well good morning, Alex!" She glowed, her English accent clear.
"Hey, Sonya!" I smiled back at her and continued to Amanda's office. I walked past a guy I didn't recognise. Tall, masculine and definitely not, Division.
I looked back to find his eyes were on me, but I ignored it.
"Alex, you look lovely!" She said as I entered her office
"Thanks! I love what you've done with the place!" I looked around the room, which felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"All I've really done is try to bring us back to basics! I'm just… trying to clean up Percy's mess. Active recruit men are on hold and… we're not taking jobs for money. After all, Division was created to stop threats and right now our most dangerous threat is-ˮ
"Nikita." I finished her sentence.
Amanda sighed. "She can cause a lot of pain and suffering with that black box."
"Especially for you're bosses! For Oversight." I didn't break eye contact.
"For the world, Alex. You said you had a lead on her." She cocked her head.
"That depends."
"On what?"
"On you! I want you to honour our deal! I help you get the black box if you help me find the man who ordered my father's death, Sergei Semak!" I felt my stomach turn as the thought drifted lazily to my mind once more.
"Yeah, it might not be that simple, Alex!" She shook her head. Man, if I had a penny for every time someone's told me that!
I turned and head for the door, letting her know that this was the end of the conversation. I was almost out of the office when a man blocked me, standing in my way. The same man who I saw when walking to Amanda earlier.
"Am… I interrupting?" He stared down at me.
"Actually, I was just leaving!" I flashed a smile and attempted to move past the man, but he refused to move.
I turned to face Amanda. "You said I was free to come and go!" I practically shouted.
"This is her, right? Alexandra Udinov?" The man asked behind me.
"Yes, it is." Amanda answered.
I smiled. "Amanda, tell your boy to get out of my way!"
"She could give the order, but it won't help. I'm not Division." He stared holes through my mind.
"Neither am I!" I replied.
"Well, that's an understatement!" He tried to hide the smile.
I turned to walk to Amanda.
'Alex, this is Sean Pierce from Oversight, strictly to observe." She explained.
"Actually, I'm here to make sure we retrieve Percy's black box, but I see you're doing so, using a double agent." He faced me.
"What's your point?" I turned to meet his eyes.
"Just that you're a traitor. You were partners with a traitor. And now you expect us to believe that you've turned against her?"
"I'm not after Nikita! I'm after the black box and she's just in my way!" I shrugged.
"Fair enough. Right now, I'm in your way. How're you going to get past me?" His gaze softened.
I reached for my pocket to take out Nikita's phone. Pierce, on full alert, instinctively grabbed my wrist. I sighed and basically showed him the phone.
"This is a Samsung R-100, the type of burner phone Nikita used to communicate with me. Prepaid, no GPS. The data's been wiped which confirms it's hers. If we re- trace it back to the first sale, we could get her current location!" I gasped for air and he nodded. That's when I strike.
I punched him hard in the abdomen and while he was trying to breath, I grabbed his gun. He responded by grabbing my knife and held it to my neck. I automatically steered the pistol to his scull.
I dropped the phone in my self-defence actions.
"Don't worry Alex. I keep my promises." Amanda picked up the phone but our eyes were fixed on each other, not making any attempt to remove our weapons. Amanda smiled and left the office.
"Remove…the knife…from my neck…now!" I breathed. He eyed the pistol.
"Not until you remove the gun from my head." He said, calm as ever.
"How do I know you won't slit my throat if I removed the gun?"
"How do I know you won't pull the trigger when I remove the knife?" He tilted his head. I blew a strand of hair out of my eyes.
"On three." I announced. "We both withdraw our weapons." He nodded.
"One…two…" I could feel the knife grazing my skin.
"Three." I whispered. I pulled back his pistol and he removed my knife.
"Hand it over!" I motioned him to return my knife. He nodded and passed it to me and I handed him his gun.
"Pierce or whatever you're name is. Stay out of my way and things will be much safer for you!" I glared at him and left the office.
I have a feeling that I might be the reason that guy ends up in the hospital.
