Today is my birthday and I hate this damn day immensely.
Because it's not only the day of my birth but exactly 12 years ago my parents died.
They were skilled and capable agents.
They died on a simple recovery mission.
Murdered, to put it better.
There is no day that I don't think about them but on this very day my heart aches even more, as if every year that passes it makes a small part of my heart die.
If I could I would erase this day from my memory.
I have not celebrated since then, if I could I would delete this date from the calendar.
From my fucking life.
Mom and dad met at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy both barely of age had recently enrolled.
They had tied up immediately, mom always told me that the secret of their marriage was their friendship.
Because before falling madly in love they became great friends.
Over time they had learned to trust each other and eventually love arrived.
They are my example of true love.
I'm sitting on my bed, in my small and modest apartment, in my hands I hold a photo of them.
Dad had long red hair and shiny baby blue eyes.
I smile.
Mom always said that that hair was wasted on a man.
According to her it was not fair that she had to spend hours with a brush and hairdryer to make herself presentable and instead he just needed a brush stroke.
Mom, on the other hand, had honey blonde hair that she wore in a neat bob and eyes green like emeralds.
He of Irish descent and she the classic New York girl.
Together they were beautiful.
The envy of every individual who crossed their path.
And as if that were not enough they were also two good people.
Kind, selfless and in their work they were among the best.
I sigh and put the photo upside down on the blanket.
I can't look at it anymore.
I stand up and stop in front of the large mirror in my bedroom.
I am wrapped in a large towel, my wet hair falling onto my back.
Real Irish red hair like my dad and the same green eyes as my mom.
Small in stature but well proportioned, generous breasts and hips.
I watch myself carefully, my glance back in the mirror.
After a few seconds I decide it's time to get ready.
Every 20th of August I do some madness, to exorcise the pain and curse this day.
The day that took my parents away from me.
For the rest of the year I am an impeccable woman.
Right arm of Fury, a precise and lethal agent.
I put all of myself into my work.
But on this damn day I don't want to be me anymore.
Every year I make a madness, for example three years ago I jumped into the Hudson naked and swam across it, risking pneumonia.
Two years ago I got drunk until I fainted, I woke up the next day on the roof of my apartment.
Last year I did bungee jumping with a group of strangers.We threw ourselves off the Brooklyn Bridge with ropes that if I think about them today I don't know how reliable I could believe them.
Sex with a stranger.
For this year, however,I have chosen something totally different.
Something I would never, ever do in my daily life.
I want to hook up with a man at the bar and have some wild sex with him.
I start drying my hair and once done I pull them all back and tie them in a high ponytail.
My make up is fairly lightly, just a little blush and some mascara.
And then I apply a blood red lipstick like the nail polish on my fingernails.
I look in the mirror, I'm not great but over the years I have learned to use my femininity to my liking.
And then a few shots of Vodka will do the rest.
I step into my simple little black dress, with thin straps and a very generous neckline.
The back is totally uncovered and the hem of the dress stops just below the curve of my ass.
I wear my beautiful black Louboutin with the red sole.
A splash of perfume, Alien by Thierry Mugler, a last look in the mirror and after grabbing the clutch bag with my keys I walk towards the door.
I take a last big breath and leave the house.
Perfect time.
Once out on the street I raise my hand to call a taxi, looking at my watch.
It is 08:00 PM.
A taxi stops, I open the door and take a seat.
In here the smell is bad, mold and wet dog.
Gross.
"Terra blues, please"
"Immediately, ma'am"
The ride is relatively short, the streets of New York are not very busy tonight.
As soon as the taxi stops, I leave the money for the driver.
"Keep the change"
I walk away without even waiting for his answer.
I seat on a stool right in front of the bartender.
As soon as I enter I am hit by the fragrance of beer and whiskey.
Jazz music resounds in the air, they are playing live from the stage which is located right at the end of the room.
In front of the stage there are some wooden tables and chairs.
On both sides there are counters that run along the walls, in front the high wooden stools.
"I'll bring you a drink, sweetheart?"
"Two vodkas, straight.And if you stop calling me sweetheart, I might as well leave you a nice tip at the end of the evening"
"At her orders, ma'am"
He walks away and after a few seconds comes back with my order.
I drink the first shot in one gulp.
I look around.
The place is nice and welcoming.
I scan the room thoroughly, looking for my victim and...BINGO!
Found him!
I stare at him for a few seconds and immediately his gaze is chained to mine.
He has blue eyes like the sky at dusk, a square jaw covered with a light beard and dark hair left a little longer and messy.
I just smile at him, a winking smile.
He continues to observe me.
I look away and go back to my drink.
Our game of glances becomes more and more lewd.
So I make the first move.
I call the bartender and order two more shots of Vodka.
"One for me and one for that boy over there"
The man pours me my drink and then brings the other to him.
I see them talking to each other and the barman gestures in my direction.
Blue eyes stares into my eyes raising an eyebrow.
I smile and raise my drink in his direction, he does the same with his and we make a toast from a distance.
Ok, now the time has come.
I get up confident in myself, without looking back I walk towards the bathroom.
I grab the handle but before entering I turn to him.
His eyes are glued to my figure and as soon as they meet mine I smile and wink.
I walk into the bathroom hoping my plan will work.
Bucky POV
What the hell I'm doing.
What the hell I'm doing.
What the hell I'm doing.
These are the words that I keep repeating incessantly in my head as I walk briskly towards the bathroom door of this pub.
Tonight I only came here with the intention of having a drink and letting go of the anger.
My girlfriend and I had a fight again, we have only been together for 6 months, yet it seems that we do nothing but fight.
She says she would more attention.
I give it to her but she thinks it's not enough.
I feel bad.
And I feel ungrateful.
I was given a second chance.
I went from being a ruthless killer to being a model man.
An Avengers.
In the eyes of the world I have everything you could want.
A respectable job, wherever I go I am recognized and praised.
My best friend is the best man in the world and I have to do my part alongside him.
I must be worthy to be his friend.
My girlfriend is a strong, loyal and respected woman across America and in the world too.
The team I work with has welcomed me with open arms, even Tony Stark has granted me his forgiveness.
"It's not your fault, you had no choice" these are his words.
I would have preferred if he had punched me.
I hate all this.
I feel stuck in a life that I don't feel mine, I would like to scream my anger and all my pain but I can't.
I can't disappoint everyone who believed in me.
I can't disappoint Steve.
He has exposed himself in first person for me, he's proud of me and my path.
He says I deserve all this but I don't think so.
And now as if that weren't enough I spent the evening exchanging fiery glances with a perfect stranger.
I wanted to pay for my sins, I feel like my soul was still dirty, stained.
Stained with innocent blood.
A stranger as beautiful as sin.
Hair red as the flames of hell.
Red lips that bring to my mind only lustful thoughts.
Those green eyes, so penetrating, as if mother nature had taken two emeralds and smoothed them, giving them to her just for the sake of driving men mad.
I put my hand on the bathroom door handle and I open it with a deep breath.
The bathroom is dark, only low blue neon lights to brighten the environment.
There are four cubicles to my left and a large mirror with two sinks below to my right.
Not even the time to take a couple of steps that a small hand, nails enameled in red, grabs me by the shirt and pulls me into the first small cubicle.
In a moment I find myself glued to her lips.
Her tongue clashing with mine, violently.
Each of us fight for supremacy.
Each of us doesn't want to succumb to the other.
My vibranium arm wraps around her back, my other hand locks the door.
I dig my hands into the warm flesh of her bare back.
Immediately both of her arms tighten around my neck, with her fingers she massages the nape of my neck and then she pulls my hair.
With her every movement her dress lifts up, it is so short that drives me absolutely crazy.
A roar comes from deep in my chest.
She pulls away from my mouth only to trace the outline of my mouth with her tongue, lingering on my lower lip.
She bites it gently and then sucks it.
This kiss is animalistic, indecent.
Tongues and teeth, teeth that tear and bite.
And I'm loving it.
Her hands from the back of my neck go down to my chest and, as she kisses me and bites my neck, she unbuttons the shirt completely.
She uses her small hands to slide the shirt from my arms, I humor her and stay bare-chested.
Slowly, with a trail of kisses, she goes down and down.
Until she's on her knees in front of me.
She unfastens my belt and lowers my pants and boxers, just enough to release my aching erection.
My cock, red and angry tip, twiching in her hand.
I put my hands on the wall in front of me, looking up at the ceiling.
I should stop her.
I should stop.
But I can't and every bit of self-control disappears when I feel her warm, velvety mouth wrapping the tip of my cock.
I look down at her and find her staring at me.
Her bright green eyes almost look like they can light up this dingy bathroom.
With one hand she grabs my cock from the base, she licks it all along its length.
Her free hand massages my balls.
Her tongue starts from them to reach the tip where she licks the first drops of precum.
I grab the sides of her neck, with my thumbs I stroke her cheeks.
I see her sucking me into her mouth, her sinful red lips wrapped around me.
I push her head and my hips lunge.
She gags unprepared for that violent invasion.
I feel it hit the bottom of her throat.
"Don't worry, I know you can do it.Just a few more seconds"
I whisper in a hoarse voice broken by passion.
I come out of her mouth with a pop that sounds obscene.
I push myself back to her mouth but this time she is prepared and tilts her head slightly to welcome me completely.
Always eye to eye.
Tears fill her pretty eyes as she tries to breathe and after a few seconds I let her go.
A trickle of saliva goes from her mouth to my dick.
She takes a few seconds to catch her breath and then comes back to take care of me.
Voracity, I feel her tongue wrap around my tip.
I roll my eyes so much that I swear I can see the back of my head.
For heaven's sake I feel I'm losing control, if she continues like this I could cum at any moment.
So I grab her shoulders and forcefully I lift her up, almost tugging on her.
I take possession of her mouth again, she lets herself be devoured and when I feel satisfied I go down on her neck and bite that portion of skin right behind her ear.
She moans loudly.
And now it's my turn, I've been waiting for this moment ever since I saw her reach the bathroom.
I kneel at her feet and pull her dress up, lifting it up to her stomach.
A delicious lace panties make their appearance.
I put my index fingers on either side of them and pull them down to her ankles.
I take them and looking into her eyes I put them in the pocket of my pants.
A corner of her mouth rises upwards.
I go back to focusing on her body.
My fingers go up lightly, starting from the hollow of her knees up to her ass.
I squeeze it, it is as firm as I imagined.
Soft and delicious.
In the meantime, I kiss her thighs, first her right and after her left.
I rub my nose along her fold, kissing her mount of venus.
I feel her vibrate under my touch.
I lift her right leg and place it on my left shoulder, she trembles when her hot skin comes into contact with the Vibranium.
I kiss her inner thighs.
One time.
One more time.
And then lick.
I lick her fold and I linger on her clit sucking it.
Her legs tremble and her hands clench into fists in my hair.
In the air only the sound of moans and the wet sound of my tongue lapping into her cunt.
I slowly push a finger inside her, curling it, and hooked it inside her.
She moves her hips following the pace I dictate.
"Another" she moan, her voice is distorted with pleasure.
I understand what she wants and add a second finger.
I pick up the pace.
She seems about to cum, her cunt tightening around my fingers in a delicious way.
With my mouth I apply the right pressure on her clit and she cum.
She does it screaming, her face distorted in a mask of passion.
I get up licking my fingers without ever taking my eyes off hers, moaning relentlessly at the sensation of her moisture in my mouth.
She pulls me towards her and this time she devours my lips.
I let her do it.
I wrap my arms around her back and with a light jump she fastens her legs to my waist.
Now I'm holding her only with my vibranium arm, with the other hand I grab my cock and use it to make my way inside her.
I rub my tip against her clit.
We both tremble.
"What happens?"
"Wait!Wait!"
Her voice brings me back down to earth.
"Do you have a condom?"
Damn.
"No.Shit!"
"Don't worry, I have one in my purse"
So saying she points to a small black purse hanging from the door handle.
I let go of my dick and lean to the side to grab the purse.
I hold it open in front of her eyes while she with a hand rummages through it while her other hand clings to the back of my neck.
Thank God she finds it.
I rest the bag on its place and in the meantime she opens the condom package with her teeth.
Then she uses both hands to wrap it up on my cock in a few moves.
Meanwhile, we just keep kissing.
I break the kiss for a moment and rest my forehead against hers.
For a heartbeat I feel lost.
She notices it.
"If you want we can stop"
Her breathing is irregular, her cheeks flushed and her eyes shiny with lust.
I should stop but I don't want to.
"No" I reply harshly.
And just as hard as I spoke I entered her pussy.
One push, rough.
Her nails dig into the flesh of my arm.
I feel her stiffen, she bites her lips almost until they bleed.
I remain motionless inside her.
”I'm sorry" I whisper.
Being still is pure torture, she is so hot and tight.
We both giggle.
"No.No, it's...it's ok.Give me a few moments” she whispers back, "your size is...a little too generous?"
Jesus Christ why are we so in tune?
A one night stand shouldn't be like that, right?
It should be just sex, not complicity and smiles. When I notice that the discomfort begins to leave her face I begin to move, slowly this time.
She throws her head back, her moans more and more acute and uncontrolled.
I push in and out of her with a disarming slowness.
I use my hand of flesh to drag my dick up and down her slit and then push again inside her welcoming pussy.
She has her eyes closed.
With both her hands she cups my face.
"Open your eyes" I demand.
And she does it.
And I am ecstatic again.
I don't want to miss the wonder of those gems.
With each thrust her beautiful breasts bounce.
I want to see them, so with a quick movement of my hand I lower the cleavage of her dress even more.
No bra.
Great.
I smile and grab one in my hands.
It's big.
”Oh my…just like that”
One hand of mine barely holds it, I lower my mouth on it and with my tongue I tease the nipple.
Then I take it in my mouth and suck it.
Her voice is an octave higher, she likes what I'm doing.
"Please…harder"
And I can't help but please her.
I poundend in her, my hips moving so fast.
The sloppy wet sounds coming from where we are connected push me to the edge.
I slow down my pace, I don't want to cum.
Not now.
Not like that.
I pull myself out of her and she whimpers at the empty feeling.
I put her down making sure she can stand on her legs.
This bathroom is so tight, stuffy.
I lean down until my lips are close to her ear whispering “Turn around and bend over”
Anything she does brings my excitement to the stars.
The air around us is hot, it feels hard to even breathe.
It's like the heat of our bodies and of our panting has caused the temperature around us to rise.
"Lift your foot and place it here" so saying I grab her left ankle and guide her foot over the toilet seat.
Now she is open like a flower in front of my eyes.
I spank her with my hand in vibranium, a strangled moan leaves her lips.
I push my dick inside her again.
I sink my hands into the flesh of her side and squeeze tight, tomorrow she will be surely bruised but she doesn't seem to care.
With every push of mine she comes towards me.
Her ass bouncing in front of me.
I wonder how it is possible to be so in tune with a stranger, she seems to understand my needs.
My urgency.
My pain.
She understands me more than my girlfriend does and, God have mercy on me, even more than my best friend.
I wrap her ponytail around my fist and pull her towards me.
I pull her until she lifts herself up just enough so that her back is against my chest.
I keep pumping into her nonstop.
I let go of her hair and grab her throat with my vibranium hand, she turns her head towards me and brings her arm up over her so that her hand is behind my neck.
She squeezes a lock of my hair in her fingers and kisses me.
We pant in each other's mouth.
"Open your mouth”
As soon as she does it I spit inside it.
“Swallow”
She swallows and it's one of the hottest things I've ever seen.
”I'm gonna cum” I warned her.
My grip on her neck increases.
“If you want…aaaah” she cry out unable to stop, “If you want you can cum in my mouth.But first...but first make me cum" her voice comes out lustful.
With my free hand I go down to her clit and begin to stroke it with circular motions.
She is close, I can feel her pussy milking my cock.
Another couple of thrusts well placed and she cum screaming.
Her body shakes with a thousand chills.
I keep stimulating her until it become nearly painful for her.
I pull out, turn her towards me and kiss her again.
My hands are on her breasts.
I squeeze and massage.
She lowers her hands on my cock, takes off the condom and throws it into the bin next to her.
Within seconds she is kneeling again in front of me.
My dick is already in her mouth.
She sucks merciless and I indulge her thrusting movements in and out in her mouth.
"Oh yeah, baby…just like that.Don't stop" I hiss.
And so I cum.
I cum in her mouth and she licks everything.
She cleans up and swallows every last drop of me.
She slowly rises, leaving a trail of hot kisses along my abs, on my neck and finally on my mouth.
I can feel my taste through her.
We break away to look at each other.
A drop of me has remained on her chin, I pick it up with my thumb and then put it in her mouth.
She sucks it as if her life depended on it.
We are both short of breath.
Our chest rise and fall furiously, continuing to touch each other in this narrow space.
She gives me one last sweet kiss and leaves the cubicle.
I collapse without strength on the toilet seat.
I can't do it.
Not now.
She stops in front of the mirror and tries to put herself in order.
I see her cover her breasts and pull down her skirt.
She looks for my eyes through the mirror.
I pretend to think about it and then I answer to her.
"Do you think I could have my panty back?" she asks me with a raised eyebrow.
"If it does the same for you I'd rather keep them"
"You're a little pervert, you know?"
"Me?"
We both burst out laughing.
I go back to observe her.
She's fixing her hair and she try to clean the smudges of her lipstick.
She washes her hands then grabs her purse.
She heads for the door that will take her back to the pub hall.
"I don't even know your name"
I don't know why I said it.
"Better this way because if I told you my name I would have to kill you"
Her hand is on the doorknob but she stops and talks to me without turning around.
She just turns her head towards me and she winks at me.
"It was a pleasure, Sergeant Barnes"
And she leaves.
I stare at the door like an idiot.
Did I really think she didn't recognize me?
I have a fucking vibranium arm how the hell am I supposed to go unnoticed?
I look at myself in the reflection of the mirror.
I'm a mess.
Unkempt hair and a flushed face.
I get up and put on my shirt, closing the buttons one after the other.
I adjust my pants and go to one of the two sinks.
I rinse my face with cold water and meticulously check that there is no trace of her lipstick left.
It would be really hard to explain that once I get home.
I still can't believe what I've done, it's true that I feel suffocated in my relationship but I never, ever thought of cheating my girlfriend.
I'm not that kind of man…or at least I wasn't.
I should feel guilty.
I'm a traitor, a bastard.
But I feel good, light.
I feel myself again after I don't know how long.
I look at myself one last time in the mirror, I try to arrange my hair as best I can by passing my hands several times but in the end I give up.
I'm just making it worse.
I leave the bathroom and head directly to the exit, I don't even look around.
I don't want to know if she is still here.
I go out into the warm New York air, even though it's already 11:00 PM it's hot.
The heat makes the air unbreathable and the clothes stick to my body.
I walk down the street to the Avengers Tower.
I sigh.
I don't want to go back, it's as if I felt the physical need to be alone, brooding over what happened and above all about what I really want.
What do I really want?
This is the problem…I don't know!
I barely know who I am, I can't know what I want but apparently the others know.
And I base my new life on that, on what others expect from me.
I enter the large tower belonging to Stark and head directly to the kitchen, I need to drink some water and honestly I have not yet found the courage to go back to my room where she will surely be waiting for me.
Great.
I notice that the light in the kitchen is on and Steve is sitting at one of the stools positioned in front of the kitchen counter.
"Hey pal, trouble to sleep?"
"No, honestly I was waiting for you.Would you like if we exchange a few words?"
I ask as I approach the fridge, I open the door in search of a bottle of water.
I squeeze my eyes, hidden behind the fridge door I look for a solution to avoid all this but I know it doesn't exist.
Besides, I can't dismiss him like that, he's my best friend.
He has saved my life on many occasions.
I close the fridge and bringing the bottle to my lips, I take big sips.
He is the only real family left to me.
He is the link with my real self, the man I was in the 40s.
"Sure man, what's up?"
“I know that you and Sharon have had a fight again.It happens a lot lately.Everything good?"
"Did you talk to her?" is my only answer.
Steve puts a hand behind his head to scratch it.
"No.She talked about it with Nat and she…”
This is one thing I would like.
“Obviously she told you” I continue his sentence.
I would like a relationship like the one that Steve and Natasha have.
They understand only by looking at each other, they always talk about everything.
There are no secrets between them.
They are not only lovers, they are also friends and accomplices.
And from what Steve told me in bed they spark.
Quite the opposite of my relationship.
I can't open up to Sharon, I can't tell her honestly about how I feel.
I'm afraid of her judgment.
She is a Carter.
Damn.
Member of a respected family.
She chose me as a mate, I have to keep expectations after all.
When Steve found out about our relationship, he was delighted.
”Sharon is a good girl, she is smart and loyal.Great choice, pal" he told me that, that day.
And then in bed between us it's all monotonous and repetitive.
I don't know how my story with her started, she was there by my side when I needed.
He helped Steve and me, she avoided the outbreak of a real “civil war”.
She was with me in Wakanda when I got rid of the Winter Soldier forever.
It was inevitable to get close, to end up together.
I am grateful to her, really...but I don't love her.
And I don't know how to tell her.
"Don't worry James, when you'll be ready you will tell me.There is no rush"
Jesus!
I've been with her for 6 months, she told me she loves me and with all her goodness and sweetness she hugged me and told me that I didn't have to worry about anything, that I don't need to say it back.
It's been 2 months since then but I haven't told her yet.
I can't tell her.
Steve watches me, I know he's trying to figure out what's happening to me.
"Sure you're okay, Buck?You don't seem like you lately.You know that you can always talk to me.I could never judge you"
So I swallow all the discomfort I feel, put a big smile on my face and answer him.
Oh, I know Steve...I know you would never judge me but I'm terrified to see the disappointment in your eyes.

This morning it seems that I got up in a good mood which is very rare for me so I let myself be carried away by this positive energy.
I put on my trusty running shoes and went to Central Park.
Although we are in the month of February today the sun is shining high in the sky and the temperature is quite pleasant.
I wear my Airpods and to the rhythm of Back in Black by AC/DC I start running.
I'm not the only one who has taken advantage of this sunny day and even though it's only 7 in the morning, the park is full of people.
Many other people, just like me , have decided to take advantage of this beautiful day to train outdoors.
I try to keep my mind focused on running, on my breathing but fail miserably.
I sigh.
With my mind I go back to the night of six months ago.
My memories go back to that pub.
I don't often think about it and mostly when I see that my thoughts are taking that direction I try to distract myself with something else.
But sometimes I give in to memories.
The way that man fucked me in that bathroom is something out of the ordinary.
Thinking that a perfect stranger can figure out what you need is insane.
The way his blue eyes searched for mine at all times has something inexplicable about it.
I slow down my run near a fountain, I approach to fill the bottle of water that I have with me since I have already drunk it all.
Damn it's really hot today.
I am about to take off the windbreaker I am wearing, tying it at the waist.I simply wearing leggings and a long-sleeved cotton shirt.
All strictly black.
I love how this color fits me.
It highlights my green eyes and makes my red hair alive like the flames of hell.
I feel like this color highlights the true essence of my soul.
If I still have a soul.I doubt it.
I don't think being a professional killer helps and if I really had a soul it would surely be black.
Black represents me.
I shake my head to try to banish these gloomy thoughts, I don't want to lose that rare momentum of good humor with which I woke up.
I do a bit of stretching and I get back to running but I don't even have time to pick up the pace that the smartphone in my jacket pocket begins to play.
I stop again, cursing through my teeth.
I take the phone out of my pocket and check the display.
Maria Hill's name flashes before my eyes.
Strange.
I answer immediately.
“Agent Hill since when did you become such an early riser?This is a real surprise”
She responds with a loud yawn.
“Forget Snow.Last night I had to monitor the movements of some suspicious trucks and went to bed when it was already 3AM.Fury phoned me just 4 hours later.And this is why I called you"
"To let me know that you slept little?"
I reply with a chuckle.
"Fuck you Snow" now she laughs too.
"Anyway Fury wants you.You have 45 minutes to make yourself presentable and go to his office"
"Did he by chance tell you why?"
Strange.To look for me with all this urgency and above all at the last minute there must be something big underneath.
"No I'm sorry, I don't know anything" replies Maria not before having made another yawn.
I roll my eyes.
"See you later, now I'm going to have another cup of coffee.I hope this help me recover" she mutters in a sleepy voice.
“OK Maria catch up, see you in the office later”
“Bye Snow”
She hangs up and I put the phone back in my pocket.
Fury is waiting for me at 08:15.
In exactly 40 minutes.
I have to call a taxi to go home otherwise I'll never make it.
As soon as I arrive I rush up the stairs and enter my apartment.
I undress as I make my way to the bathroom, leaving a trail of clothes behind me.
I will take care of it steely when I return.
I step into the shower and immediately started lathering my hair.After rinsing them and applying the conditioner, I wash my body sprinkling it with my favorite citrus shower gel.
The scent tickles my nostrils.
I rinse well and get out of the shower.
At 8 o'clock I'm ready and headed for Fury's office, if I don't encounter traffic I should make it up to 5 minutes late.
I get off the taxi right in front of the majestic building that houses the offices of the New York headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I stride across the atrium, the echo of the heels of my stilettos in shiny black leather by Kurt Geiger, echoing in the high ceilings.
I pass a busy Maria Hill.
"Hi Hill, is it better?"
"After 4 coffees, let's say that at least I am able to articulate sentences of complete meaning"
We walk together towards one of the four elevators available. "Come up with me to Fury?"
"No sorry, I have to go to the logistics floor.I have some documents to be signed by Agent Brown" she sighs heavily.
"Yuck!That man is so gross"
I reply with compassionate eyes.
"Slimy" we say at the same time.
Let's laugh together.
Agent Brown is famous for his long eye, you can always catch him looking at your tits or ass.
At that moment the elevator doors open and Rumlow comes out followed by a dozen agents, all armed to the teeth.
"An eventful start to the day, huh?"
I smile at him out of courtesy.
"Oh you can bet redhead" and so saying he walks away.
"I hate when he calls me that"
I murmur through clenched teeth.
"You know very well he does it to flirt.Why do you refuse all his invitations?That man devours you with his eyes every time he sees you.His eyes scream SEX" makes me participate Maria of her thoughts.
I can understand her disbelief.
Brock is a handsome, charming man and God only knows how big his muscles are.
But there is something about him that does not convince me.
"You already know" I reply observing the display that marks the approach to our destination.
"There's something about him that I don't like.He seems to be hiding something"
“Oh something he hides.And he looks really nice big.And he doesn't hide it so sincerely”
She laughs heartily at the same joke as her.
"Hill I don't understand if it's sleep deprivation or if you've lost your sense of reason"
The bling of the elevator tells us that we are on the logistics floor.
Maria is preparing to get out.
"Shall we have a drink one of these evenings?" she asks me as the doors are closing.
"Sure" I say.
The elevator continues its ascent and a bit of anxiety makes room inside me.
What could possibly want that is so urgent the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at 8 am on Saturday?
I'm sure I'll find out soon.
I smooth the totally imaginary folds of my shirt.
This morning I wore a simple white shirt, a pair of black palazzo pants and my beloved black leather jacket.
I stop in front of the desk of Dana, Fury's secretary.
“Hi Dana, I'm here on Fury's orders”
She moves her eyes away from the PC screen and then focuses on my figure.
“Hi Amaya.They are already in the office.They're waiting for you”
I raise an eyebrow.
"They are waiting me?Plural?"
"Yeah, along with the director are Tony Stark and Steve Rogers"
She looks excited.
"Oh my God you can't understand what a wonderful smile Captain America has"
I laugh heartily and answer her.
"I didn't know you had a thing for blondes.Michael didn't is it brown?"
"Oh shut up!Cap is still Cap" sighs the blonde secretary.
I shake my head and get ready to enter the office not before Dana has announced my arrival via her intercom.
How strange.
What on earth could I have in common with Iron Man and Captain America?
What can push Fury to reunite Agent Zero and two of the most famous Avengers in the same room?
I think I'll find out soon.
"You can enter now" the voice of Dana brings me back to reality.
With a sure and decisive step I make my entrance.
The three men present inside the large office turn to me.
The only one to stand up is Captain Rogers.
"Good morning gentlemen.What can I do for you, director?"
Steve Rogers comes a few steps closer to me and holds out his hand.
"I'm Steve Rogers, nice to meet you"
His tight is strong and decisive.
“The pleasure is mine Captain.I'm agent Amaya Snow” I reply.
He smiles, Dana is right, he has a really nice smile.
"Please just call me Steve"
I smile embarrassed back.
Tony's bold voice breaks in followed by laughter.
"Seriously Fury?" he looks annoyed.
"We spoke for one of your best agents and you introduce us to this little girl?She's a kid"
He turns to me making a gesture with his hand.
"No offense"
"Oh no please.Go ahead" my tone comes out a little more sarcastic than I wanted.
"Tony don't be rude"
Steve intervenes, then addresses me directly.
"Forgive him"
"Don't worry Steve, it's ok"
I observe Fury who hasn't said a word yet.
Meanwhile, Steve has settled back into the chair in front of the desk.
I ignore what Stark says and turn to Fury again.
"Can I be useful in some way director?"
He watches me carefully and then with infinite calm he turns to Tony Stark.
"You asked me for a new member for your team.You asked me for the best.And that's what I'm proposing to you"
I can't follow what he says.
What are they talking about?
"Gentlemen, she is Agent Zero"
My eyes widen in disbelief.
What the hell is he doing?
Why is he blowing up my cover?
I intervene to try to stem the damage.
"Excuse me director, I think I don't understand"
Fury smiles sweetly at me from the other side of the desk.
"It's okay Amaya, relax"
I take courage in both hands and turn to the two Avengers who stare at me open-mouthed.
"So it's not a legend?" gives Steve incredulous.
Tony looks me up and down.
"What's up?" I ask him.
"Did you think it was a man, tattooed arms and mustache?"
"More or less yes" he replies smiling "but without a mustache.The mustache is too 80s"
I smile.
Fury takes the floor again.
"Agent Snow is the best and I'm sure she can become a great resource for your team"
Me in the Avengers?
Me alongside Rogers, Stark and Banner?
Alongside Barnes?
I panic.
No, no and then no.
"Fury could I talk to you in private if you don't mind?"
"Sure" his answer.
Rogers and Stark stand up, they both hold out their hand to me.
"I hope to see you again.I think you might be interesting” Tony tells me.
I remain silent.
I don't really know what to say.
They both say goodbye to Fury and leave the office.
I don't even give the door time to lock itself up, which I explode.
"What's wrong with you?Did you loose your mind Nick?"
“Don't call me that”
“And instead I'll call you what I want.I've saved your old ass so many times that I can take this confidence with you"
We stare into each other's eyes for a few endless minutes.
Fury starts laughing heartily
"You remind me so much of your mother, you know?She was so exuberant too"
"I'm not exuberant.I'm angry.What story is this?Why on earth should I work with the Avengers?I'm fine where I am"
"Amaya this can become the occasion of your life.You will have the opportunity to work in a team, to learn to trust someone else as well as yourself"
Why he doing this to me?
“But I'm fine like that.I'm fine by myself"
"Bullshit" yells the man in front of me clapping his hand on the desk.
I look at him in disbelief, I am speechless.
I see him close his eyes and sigh.
When he opens them his gaze is softened.
“You know how much I care about you Amaya.You've been my right hand for so long.You're not just an agent to me, you know that"
"Then why are you throwing me like this"
I can't help but my eyes get wet.
He goes around the desk to stand in front of me.
"Don't see it like that.You know very well that I would never do it.But in these years I have observed you, year after year you have closed yourself more and more in yourself.Dependent on this job more and more every day!And I don't want this for you"
I can read the pain in his eyes.
“You have no friends, you have no love in your life.You are alone just like me and I don't want to see you end up like me"
"But you are my family Nick, you are my mentor"
"But I won't be there forever and when I'm gone, what will you do?Who will take care of you?"
A tear escapes from my eyes.
I had no idea that Fury had all these worries about me.
"I am able to take care of myself"
"I thought so of myself too" Fury smiles at me.
"But in the end I became attached to you.Because basically no one is born to live alone"
He approaches me and grab me by the shoulders.
"Listen I'm not telling you to accept with your eyes closed but think about it, okay?Sleep on it tonight and tomorrow you will give me an answer.But I sincerely really hope you accept, it would be the right thing to do.Do you trust my opinion?”
“I will trust you until death Nick”
He takes his hands off me and goes back to sit behind his desk.
“Now you can go, I'll leave you the day off.Go home, relax.Think about it.See you tomorrow morning"
"Ok" I whisper.
I leave without adding anything else, I don't trust myself so much at this moment.
I walk away quickly, I want to put as much distance as possible between me and this place.
I quickly reach the exit.
I see Agent Hill gesturing in my direction but I don't stop.
I'll apologize to her later.
As soon as I get outside, I am hit by a gust of cold air.
The beautiful sun that was shining this morning has been replaced by large black clouds.
The weather conditions have turned upside down in the space of nothing a bit like my day.
Or like my life if I accepted this proposal.
I find myself wandering the streets of New York, horrified.
Without realizing it I find myself in front of the door of my house, I go up the stairs dragging my feet.
I feel emptied of any strength whatsoever.
I enter the house and taking off only my shoes and I throw myself into the bed, throwing the blanket over my head.
I think of the Fury proposal.
Could I really become an Avengers?
Does Fury really think I live up to that?
He has been my guide for the past 12 years, he has been my only point of reference in my life.
If I accepted it would mean that I would no longer work alongside him.
But I would be exposed, recognized.
I do not know what to do.
A small voice in my head, however, rebels, tries to raise the tone to be heard.
This voice keeps telling me that what the director says is true.
I have been alone all these years and this situation is starting to weigh on me.
I am 28 and have no plans for the future.
I am afraid of it.
Fear because if I think about myself in 15/20 years I see myself alone and as far as I can say it's okay so I know it's not the truth.
The thing holding me back, or rather the person holding me back, is James fucking Barnes.
How could he react to my presence?
Will he remember me?
Will he recognize me?
And above all, will I be able to work alongside him pretending that six months ago it never happened?
What a nice mess.
I spent my life working in the shadows, seeking revenge for my parents but on the way I forgot the most important thing.
Too focused on revenge.
I forgot to live and I'm sure my parents wouldn't have wanted this for me.
I feel a weight in the center of my chest.
I feel thrilled to be able to start over but also fucking scared.
It will not be easy to join an already well-formed group, with people who have bonded over the years, forming almost a family.
Family.
I too had one.
I curl up on myself, the leather of the jacket creaking with my every movement.
I feel my head explode and with millions of questions in my head I slowly slip into sleep.
I wake up it's dark outside.
I feel disoriented.
With my hand I look for the alarm clock on my night stand to try to figure out what time it is.I find the alarm clock and face it, it's 8PM.
Damn.
I slept 10 hours, it hadn't happened to me in months.
I decide to get up and change my clothes.
I wear simple black sweatpants and a white t-shirt.
Barefoot I head to my small kitchen.
My stomach rumbles in response.
I open the fridge and the pantry but I can't find anything.
Great.
I need to go grocery urgently.
I grab my phone and call my favorite pizzeria, I will order pizza for dinner.
Tambourine with my fingertips on the table waiting for my food.
I try to keep my mind away from all my worries.
The sound of the doorbell makes me jump, my heart reaches my throat.
I try to compose myself and after grabbing my wallet I head for the door.
"Hi Josh"
"Hi Amaya"
"How is Ares?" I ask him.
We have known each other for a few years now and we often exchange a chat.
"Ares is fine, finally we found a good vet and we have solved that bad dermatitis that plagued him"
"Excellent, I'm happy"
I offer him the money
"Keep the rest.See you next time"
"Thanks Amaya.See you soon”
I close the door and head to the kitchen, the scent of pizza brings my nostrils to orgasm.
Joe absolutely makes the best pizza in New York, his Italian origins are his winning weapon.
I take a seat on one of the two stools and begin to enjoy my dinner.
As I chew my mind goes back to Fury's proposal.
I have to think clearly, pros and cons.
The cons are that I would have to leave this house to move to Stark's tower, even if it is small and modest I have lived here for many years.I got used to having my own spaces.
I should leave Fury.
I think this is the thing that makes me suffer the most.
Being far away I could no longer defend him efficiently, I could no longer be constantly by his side.
He wasn't just a mentor, he has been my point of reference ever since my parents died.
If today I am what I am I owe it to him.
If I am alive today I owe it to him, who has always given me the right motivation to go on.
And then...and then I no longer find any cons.
I sigh.
The advantages, on the other hand, would be innumerable.
I could work more often alongside agent Romanoff, I love working with her.She is smart, intelligent and nice.
Steve would also be a point in favor, in those few moments I had to relate to him he seemed to me a sweet and kind man, a right man.
With Tony I think I'd fight all the time, we have two very similar characters.Both sarcastic and stubborn.
It would be exciting to live alongside him.
On Dr. Banner and Sam Wilson I could not express myself not having known them but from their files I could understand that they are kind and altruistic men, working as a team with them should not be challenging.
Having the possibility of not being alone anymore is the thing that thrills me the most.
A smile seems to come from my lips, maybe it could work.
But then my brain reminds me that Sergeant Barnes would also be there.
Fuck!
I don't know if that's good or bad.
After what has happened between us, it could be difficult to collaborate or it would be an advantage.
Our sexual harmony could have a positive effect on our teamwork.
Or maybe he forgot you the moment after you left that bathroom...
The voice of my conscience is keen to let me know his opinion.
I throw my head back and stare at the white ceiling for a few minutes, I get up and approach a photo on the wall of me with my parents.
In that photo I will have been 5 years old, I was in dad's arms and my arms wrapped around the neck of both of us.
Mom was kissing my head and dad's loving eyes were on each of us.
I miss their love.
A lonely tear line my cheek.
"What should I do mom?"
I can imagine her response, she was my best friend and she had the ability to always find the right words.
She would have grabbed me by the shoulders and looking into my eyes she would have simply asked me
"What do you want my child?"
What do I really want?
Deep down my heart I know.
I take my phone and press a button.
After the first ring, Fury's voice answers me loud and clear.
"So Snow have you decided?"
Bucky POV
The dawn light shines behind my lowered eyelids.
I've been awake for a few minutes already but I can't open my eyes.
I search for my phone with my hand on the night stand, find it and grab it.
I slowly open my eyes and blink a couple of times so that my eyes get used to the light in the room.
I bring the phone in front of my eyes and read the time.
It's 7 o'clock.
Ok it's time to get up.
Among the notifications I notice a message from Sharon, I open it and I'm about to read it.
“Hey babe, I just got on the jet.We will soon take off.I'll call you as soon as we land in Prague.I love you"
Great.
I close my eyes again hoping that the earth will open under my bed and swallow me.
I type a short, concise answer.
For the past six months I have been trying hard to make things work.
After that brief moment of madness I tried to be better, to give the right direction to my relationship with Sharon.
I talked to her, obviously omitting a lot of truth, and I tried to explain to her how I felt.
That I care about her but that I need time.
That I wanted at all costs to make things work.
She was obviously understanding as always and came up with talks about post traumatic disorders, stress and other things that I honestly did not understand.
I tried to dedicate every free moment to her and make her feel desired.
Dinners, cinemas, clubs.
Couple dating with Steve and Nat.
The latter are the ones I hate the most and not because of my friends but because I was being thrown in my face when my relationship, compared to his, was a failure.
I don't understand how nobody notices it.
Nobody perceives my discomfort.
I swallow my frustration daily just to be better for the people I love.
The sex between the two of us has improved slightly.
There is a little more imagination, I can put a little more passion into it.
But the reason why I do it knocks me out of my mind and only adds to my anger.
Because I realized that the problem is not Sharon but me.
I complained about the lack of passion but I realized that it was I who did not wear it.
So when we are together now I find myself thinking about other lips, other hands and then I get hotter.
More passionate.
Do I hate myself for it?
Obvious.
But I also hate that stranger for pushing me to this.
I know it's basically not her fault, that it was me who had to stop everything in the bud, but I hate her because she knew who I was.
She certainly knew that I was already involved in another relationship.
I get out of bed I'm already a bundle of nerves.
Fantastic.
Starting the day like this was just what I wanted.
I brush my teeth and after wearing a black jeans and a black t-shirt I go down to the kitchen for breakfast.
In front of the coffee machine I find Sam intent on observing the wall in front of him.
“Hey, are you okay?Looks like you haven't slept"
He turns to me, eyes red and after a huge yawn he answers
"Oh man, I must have slept no more than three hours tonight.I've been to that new bar, the one opened last week in Brooklyn.Full of gorgeous girls.It was quite an interesting night"
I smile.
He hands me a cup of coffee, as black as my mood.
We both sit at the table and after a few minutes Steve and Natasha come in.
He is already fully dressed.
She is wearing pink pajamas with a bear printed on the shirt and tousled hair.
They almost look like a nest.
I can't help it but a laugh escapes my control and I try to disguise it with a cough.
She sharpens her gaze and points it into my eyes.
"Is there some problem Barnes?" she asks me as she takes a seat on the other side of the table.
“Oh no, all right.Nice pajamas by the way"
Steve walks by her to go to the cupboard that contains the coffee cups and leaves a kiss on her head.
"Forget it honey.You look beautiful to me"
The redhead's eyes are still on me and, strong of Steve's word, she raises her middle finger in my direction.
I roll my eyes.
We all stand in silence drinking our coffee, each lost in thought.
After a few minutes a shining Tony Stark enters the kitchen.
"In ten minutes I'll be waiting for you all in the conference room"
His gaze stops on Natasha.
He raises an eyebrow and adds
"Let's do 20 minutes" and as he says he goes away.
We all burst out laughing including Steve getting an elbow in the stomach from his girlfriend who visibly angry gets up and walks away muttering something like "bunch of asshole".
Sam and I laugh even louder as Steve runs after her.
"C'mon babe don't do that" the echo of his voice is lost in the corridor.
Fifteen minutes later we are all where Tony asked us, Bruce Banner has also joined us.
Natasha is sitting across from me next to Doctor Banner, arms folded across her chest.
Steve at her side looks dejected, I think she's still mad at him for laughing.
Sam is sitting next to me and we both have our backs to the door.
Tony is standing at the head of the table, he observes everyone and then takes the floor.
"As you know since Barton and Lang retired to devote themselves totally to the family we are very few.Six people do not seem to me to be enough in case something should happen"
Steve intervenes.
"Wanda and Vision?"
“They are still part of ours but have decided to live on their own.Apparently they fell in love” Tony replies with a half smile.
“Really?The witch and the humanoid?Who would have thought"
Sam really looks surprised.
Yet it was so obvious.Or maybe it was just me?
The way they looked and communicated with each other was a clear signal that theirs wasn't just a friendship.
Tony continues to speak to Steve.
"Technically they didn't abandon their Avengers role but Vision 15 days ago turned off his tracker"
That's a big problem.
If we needed wouldn't be easy to track them down.
Tony's voice catches again my attention.
"So Steve and I talked to Fury to direct us to some agent who might be right for us.And we found him"
Tony pauses a little then continues.
"Agent Zero will be on our team"
Sam and I look at each other confused.
Natasha is the first to speak.
"For real?Will Amaya join us?"
Steve's head jerks to his girlfriend.
“Do you know her true identity?Why didn't you ever tell me about it?"
She shrugs.
"Professional secret" her reply.
“We worked together a couple of times on Fury's behalf.By now we have known each other for something like 4 years" continues the former Russian spy.
"I thought it was a legend"
I observe thoughtlessly.
At the same moment Sam exclaims "Is Agent Zero a woman?"
“It's actually been 5 years Natasha.Yes I am a woman and no Sergeant Barnes I am not a legend” a voice behind me answers all our questions.
Why do I have the impression that I have already heard this voice?
As soon as I turn my gaze towards the door, Nick Fury makes his entrance along with Agent Zero.
Together with the woman I had the best fuck of my life.
My blood freezes in my veins, I feel like I can't breathe anymore.
She passes me by without deigning a glance and goes towards Natasha.
The two embrace and smile.
"I'm happy to see you and above all to be able to work by your side again" Natasha tells her.
She breaks away from the embrace and smiles at her.
Nat continues to talk.
"What are you tired of being a caregiver for Fury?"
She laughs heartily.
"Nah...I'd still take a bullet in the head for this old man"
Fury clears his throat and turns to the two redheads.
"Are you done?"
He does not seem angry indeed he looks at them as a father would do with his own daughters.
Meanwhile Amaya, this is her real name, approaches Steve and hugs him.
"It's a pleasure to see you again Captain"
"And I'm glad you took the job" replies my best friend.
Sam turns to me and whispers under his breath.
"Wow, she's so hot!Look that boobs!"
I think I'll throw up.
Sam realizes that something is wrong.
“Are you okay dude?Looks like you saw a ghost"
I watch her shake Tony's hand.
"Yeah yeah it's ok, don't worry" I answer him without even looking at him.
Now she's turning her attention to Bruce.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Doc"
He hints a shy smile as he returns the handshake.
Fury turns to Amaya and with a wave of his hand points to me and Sam.
"They are Sam Wilson and James Barnes"
Her eyes for a moment stop into mine.
Then she replies with an Oscar-winning nonchalance.
"It's a pleasure to meet you"
And she smiles.
And I feel anger rising inside me.
After other brief pleasantries Fury exchanges a few words with Bruce and Tony and everyone else is around her filling her with questions.
I am glued to my place.
I do not know what to do.
I feel trapped in a nightmare.
After Fury leaves, everyone goes back to his duties.
Natasha turns to me.
“Bucky could you please help me with Amaya's bags?So I show her her room and she can settle down"
"Yeah" the only syllable that leaves my lips.
Right now I don't trust myself, I prefer not to say a word.
I follow the two women down the long corridor to the elevator that will take us upstairs to the floor of our rooms.
As we go up the two redheads chat and laugh among themselves.
I remain in absolute silence.
As soon as we reach the top floor and walk along the corridor, I discover that her room is right in front of mine.
Please tell me this is all a joke.
Natasha greets her.
“I have to escape, Steve and I have to go to Washington.But tonight we have dinner together ok?We have so much to update on"
"I can't wait" she replies.
"Barnes can you finish helping her?"
I just nod and watch Nat disappear behind the elevator doors.
I take her suitcases and put them in her room, help her with some boxes.
All in absolute silence.
God the tension between us could be cut with a knife.
I watch her from the sly.
God she is more beautiful than I remembered.
Her hips are forced into a pair of high-waisted black jeans while her gorgeous breasts are squeezed into a red cashmere sweater.
Her eyes are planted in mine.
"Everything ok?Why do you keep staring at me?" she asks me, she looks really confused by my behavior.
No it's not ok at all.
"It's all great" my answer sounds more poisonous than I wanted.
I see her sigh heavily.
She's about to say something but I block her with a brusque wave of my hand.
"Stay the fuck away from me and my girlfriend" he snarls to me.
What the fuck just happened?
Petrified without even being able to find the strength to reply, I remain dazed with a cardboard box full of books in my hands.
I watch him go, he looks like a fury ready to overwhelm anyone who dares to cross his path.
I am aware that he would not have jumped for joy seeing me again but I did not expect this vitriol treatment either.
In his eyes I saw a disproportionate anger, as if what happened that night was just my fault.
Please tell me this is a joke!Where are the cameras?
What just happened cannot be real.
Jesus Christ we are adults able to make our own decisions, no one forced anyone that night.
It was consenting sex.
Of course I had no qualms about flirting with a man already engaged but he should have simply rejected me if he knew that he would not be able to bear the weight of the consequences of his choice.
I am tempted to run after him but I force myself to stay where I am.
I am here only to be able to start over, to experience a new beginning.
I'm not looking for trouble, I'm not looking for love.
I don't want anything from him, what I wanted I already got.
I'm okay with myself and if he has any problems he'll go fuck himself.
Who gives him the right to talk to me like that?
What makes him think I want something from him.
I am here for work, I want to do it in the best possible way and possibly without any drama.
I would never dream of intruding into someone's relationship, much less that of Sharon Carter and James Barnes.
I shake my head and put the box that I still hold in my hand on the floor.My fingers are numb from holding it for so long.
I start by emptying my suitcase and arranging all my clothes in the closet and drawers.
I look around in amazement.
This room is almost as big as my old apartment.
As soon as you enter there is a cozy sitting area equipped with a leather sofa and a large TV hanging on the wall.
Positioned next to the TV there is a bookcase, on the opposite wall there is a large window overlooking the New York skyline.
At the bottom on the right there is a sliding door that leads to the sleeping area.
In the center of the room there is a king size bed, white soft and fragrant sheets cover it.The blanket at the foot of the bed is made of soft fur.
To the right of the bed there is no wall but only a long and immense glass window.
The view is breathtaking.
Instead, along the left wall of the room there is a desk equipped with every technology. MacBook, scanner, printer and every miracle of Stark technology.
Only the best from him.
Rich son of a bitch.
Half a meter beyond the desk there is another door behind which the bathroom is hidden.
It is equipped with a large tub and a shower, I can't wait to try them both.
The floors are in white marble, as well as all the various components.
I think I could get used to all this luxury.
I look at the watch on my wrist.
It's still 10 in the morning, I have plenty of time to tidy up my stuff and take a relaxing shower.
I get to work and, taken by my thousand thoughts, I don't realize that it is already 2PM.
With the back of my hand I wipe the sweat off my forehead.
I spent the last 4 hours sorting out the contents of every single box, working non-stop just to put a stop to my thoughts.
I can't allow Barnes to screw up this chance for my rebirth.
I grab the last book I have left and go to place it in the library when suddenly something slips from inside.
I bend over to my knees and grab the photo that was hidden between the pages.
It's a photo of my parents, it was taken on the day of my birth.
Mom was huge but still beautiful to hurt, in dad's eyes a lot of anxiety but also an indescribable joy.
They were very young, beautiful and full of hope.
I get up holding the photo to my chest.
A knock on the door brings me back to the present.
I place the photo on the coffee table in front of the sofa and go to the door, opening it just a little.
Tony's face appears in front of me.
“Hey kid hungry?I'm ordering cheesburgers, would you like to join me?" Tony asks me, a smile on his lips as he watches me over the frame of his expensive glasses.
I open the door completely.
For a moment I hesitate, I would like to be alone and I really wanted to be able to take a shower but I don't want to sound rude and then one of the reasons why I am here is to learn to be in company, form bonds and friendships.
"Fantastic idea" I reply smiling. “Do you think I might have time to take a shower?All this unpacking made me unpresentable"
"Sure, I'll be waiting for you in the kitchen in 20 minutes.Agree?"
"Perfect.See you later"
So saying I close the room door and head to the bathroom, while my stomach rumbles.
Luckily I accepted this invitation to lunch.
I open the hot water and immerse myself in it, let the jet of water soak me and wash away the dust and fatigue.
I undo the bun I made and wash my hair too.
The bathroom products at my disposal are top notch.
Expensive oils and ointments all at my disposal for the hair I choose a Bulgari shampoo and for the body I use Pleasures by Estee Lauder.
The mix of these perfumes makes me ecstatic.
I get out of the shower and covered myself with a soft bathrobe I approach the large mirror overlooking the double sink.
I dry my hair quickly and with just a couple of brush strokes my hair is perfect.
Soft and shiny.
Thanks dad for this legacy.
I smile to myself.
I quickly put on a pair of black leather pants and a white turtleneck sweater.
I head for the big elevator but I remain motionless inside.
What the hell is the kitchen on?
I am not amused by the idea of wandering around the tower like an idiot.
I hear footsteps behind me and soon after a tall figure stops by my side, I turn to see who it is.
Fantastic.
Since my life isn't hard enough what I really need is another confrontation with him.
"You got lost?" his stupid voice resounds in the elevator.
James fucking Barnes.
I look back in front of me, I roll my eyes without answering him.
"Do you think you'll be stunned there all day?"
I still don't answer him.
“Whatever.I have to go down to the kitchen if you move I can press the button"
I take a step back and mentally curse myself.
This place is huge because he has to go right where I'm headed?
For the whole time of the descent I don't say anything, I keep my arms crossed on my chest and my gaze fixed in front of me.
His damn perfume is intoxicating, he fills my nostrils and head.
Closing my eyes I can feel it on my tongue, obscene memories come to life in my mind.
I rub my legs together for relief, I feel my clit throbbing incessantly.
How the hell is that possible, this man isn't even looking at me and my panties are already soaked.
I sigh, he stealthily observes me attracted by the sound my lips have produced, after which he immediately goes back to staring at the elevator doors.
My only salvation?
Barnes appears to be a first-rate idiot.
Arrogant and pedantic.
His character will be enough to make me pass any fantasy about him.
God if I had known before that he was such a jerk I would never have had sex with him.
The bling of the elevator makes me jump in fright.
Barnes leaves without even deigning to look at me.
For a moment I am tempted to go back to my room just so as not to give him the satisfaction of having unwittingly helped me find the place I was looking for but then I think back to Tony and the concern he had in asking me if I wanted to have lunch with him so I follow him with my head down.
I walk into the kitchen 30 seconds after him.
"Hey Snow, you did it" a smiling Tony greets me.
"Yeah sorry but the shower lasted a little longer than it should" I reply embarrassed because I am clearly lying.
And Bucky knows this because I see a corner of his mouth rise in a small smile.
I blush.
"Don't worry kid, it's ok"
Then Tony turns to Bucky.
“Will you join us Barnes?Cheesburger" he asks, lifting the bag with the sandwiches.
"No thanks.I already have other commitments"
So saying he grabs a bottle of water and disappears through the door.
I watch him go.
"Is he always so annoying?"
Tony looks up from the bag in his hands and I realize I have spoken aloud.
"Sorry I didn't mean to be rude"
I bite my tongue.
“Nah…don't mind it.He won't be the best of fun but he's a good guy.A bit complicated and tormented but he is an excellent soldier in the field, whatever happens he is always there to watch your back”
I don't know what to answer so I just smile.
Tony hands me one of the cheesburgers and fries.
We eat in a pleasant silence.
After a few minutes I look up from my lunch and notice that Tony is staring at me.
"What?Do I have something on my face?"
I ask and I automatically run a hand over my face.
Tony laughs heartily.
"No, don't worry.I was just thinking what could have pushed a girl like you to become a professional assassin”
He says it with a disarming lightness.
“I've read your file Snow, you're good.A lot good.You could have made a career at S.H.I.E.L.D. why limit yourself to working in the shadows?"
This is the first time anyone has asked me such a question.Also because technically no one has ever come close to me so much.
"If you've read my file Stark, you know very well why I did it" my voice is annoyed.
I'm sorry to address him like that.
"You are telling me that the death of your..."
"Murder" I interrupt him immediately.
"Ok...did the murder of your parents push you to be who you are?"
His eyes are studying me, I can feel it.
"If you don't want to answer me, Snow does the same, don't worry"
I see him return to focus on the food in front of him.
I put a frie in my mouth and as I chew I start talking.
“That's why I'm here.Over the past 13 years I have used every free moment to look for my parents' killers, working in the shadows made it easier for me to search.But on my way I got lost.According to Fury, I was losing my humanity.Working with the Avengers, in theory, I should learn to trust others as well, not just myself”
I talked all the time looking at my hands, fearing the judgment in his eyes.
And instead when I look up at him in his eyes I see only so much sadness.
And compassion.
"I know what it feels like" his reply.
I know it.I know all about Stark.
"When my parents died I was only 20 years old.I was left alone with a multi-billion dollar company to run.I closed in on myself.I became arrogant, selfish.Then it got to the point that I couldn't even look at my reflection in the mirror anymore, I was doing stupid things just to destroy myself.In my opinion I deserved all that pain, I felt guilty for their death even though I have never had any guilt about it"
The heart in my chest gallops wildly, I would like to cry for God to have mercy on me but it seems that Stark is describing my miserable life.
I keep listening to what he has to say.
“But then Pepper came into my life.And the Avengers.I realized I was missing out on the best part.Everything changed when love arrived in my life"
"So do you think love is the solution to everything?" I ask him raising an eyebrow.
My voice exudes sarcasm.
"As trivial as it may seem, yes.The answer is yes"
We both finished eating, I ball up my sandwich and throw it all in the trash.
Tony is preparing to leave the kitchen.
“I have work to do now.You take the day off, settle down and get used to the place.And for anything you ask Friday"
I look at him confused.
"Who is Friday?"
“She is the AI who runs the tower.Just say her name aloud and ask for what you need"
Tony approaches the door but I need to ask him one last thing.
"Tony?" he stops and turns his face to me.
“Do you get used to it in the end?Do you get used to the absence of your parents?"
The man in front of me turns completely and takes a few steps in my direction.
I see him place a hand on my shoulder and squeeze it.
"No, it never goes away but when you manage to forgive yourself, their memory will be something pleasant"
I feel on the verge of tears.
"Thank you" my voice is just a whisper.
"You're welcome kid" and Tony goes away.
I rest with my back against the edge of the table.
My head falls forward and I feel some tears slipping out of my control.
Damn.
Tony's words hit me.
After all, he's right, it's me who keep blaming myself on something I've never been in control of.
I admire him, he is a strong and compassionate man.
Being able to forgive the murderer of his parents requires extraordinary fortitude.
The way he forgave Barnes for what he did is unsettling, he treats him like a friend.
He welcomed him into his home.
Obviously that not his fault, at the time he was still the Winter Soldier but this does not detract from Stark's magnanimous gesture.
Perhaps time will heal my wounds or I will continue to drag myself through this life like a wounded animal, waiting for death to come.
I need to distract myself, to vent the anger I feel inside of me.
I have to find the training room, Natasha told me more or less where to find it but I have the impression that I would be able to get lost looking for it.
"Uh...Friday?" I ask insecure addressed to nothing.
"How can I help you Agent Snow?" a female voice answers me immediately.
Wow, this is insane.
"Yeah, I...I would like to know where the gym is"
"It is on the first floor, second door on the right"
"Thanks Friday"
"Duty my agent Snow.For any other needs do not hesitate to ask"
Ok, this has been the craziest discussion of my life.
Stark's technology has something absolutely extraordinary about it.
I walk briskly to the elevator, I need to go to my room to change.
I'm wearing red shorts and a white top, my hair tied in a high ponytail.
Exactly 10 minutes later I am in front of the largest training room I have ever seen.
The floor is a glossy and bright white oak parquet.
The walls are replaced by large windows, the room is fully illuminated by natural light.
In the center of the room there is a ring, on the right there are punching bags that swing from the ceiling and a little further on there are benches and various weights and barbells.
On the left there are 4 treadmills and 4 ellipticals.
I realize I'm not alone, Sam is at one of the treadmills.
He is so focused that he doesn't notice my presence.
He runs hard, sweat beading his dark skin making it shiny and velvety.
I go in slowly because I don't want to take it out of focus but my sneakers betray me by creaking on the floor.
Sam immediately turns his gaze, wandering a bit around the great space until his eyes rest on my figure.
A sly smile is painted on his face.
“Sorry Sam, I didn't want to bother you.I'm leaving immediately"
"Are you kidding?" he asks me, raising an eyebrow.
“This place is big enough for both of us in fact it's big enough to house an entire football team.Join me"
Meanwhile he slows to a stop and then heads for the benches.
He grabs a towel that he rests on his shoulders and then grabs a bottle of water, he drinks in large gulps.
I approach a treadmill, a bit of a run as a warm-up is just what it takes.
I set the stamina and speed and started running, with the corner of my eye I notice Sam devoting himself to the abs.
Only our labored breaths resound in the air.
After 30 minutes of running I began to slow down, meanwhile Sam finished his exercises and sat in a corner to catch his breath.
I approach him.
“Are you ok Wilson?What are you doing sluggish?"
I smile at him to let him know that I'm joking.
I'm just trying to bond.
Sam laughs heartily, gets up and looks at me from head to toe as he approaches.
"Oh Agent Snow are you underestimating my abilities"
"Do you want to get in the ring?"
I ask him I address with a confident and bold air.
"Sure but don't worry I'll go easy on you"
The boy knows the fact of him but has no idea what I can do.
We both climb over the ropes and position ourselves facing each other.
We go in circles for a few seconds, neither of us makes the first move.
So, without thinking too much, I throw myself forward.
My fist right to his face which he promptly dodges.
We smile at each other.
Now he is moving forward, he kicks in to my stomach and I move to the side just in time.
He takes advantage of my movement to get behind me and close me in the grip of his arms.
I tug to try to free me.
I hear him whisper in my ear "Is that all you can do?"
I smile because I know he can't see me.
Quickly I give him a knee in the stomach, the violence of the blow makes him lean forward but his arms are still around me.
I take advantage of his brief moment of daze to give him another elbow in the stomach followed by a head on the nose and he lets me go, I turn quickly on myself and with a kick I mow his ankles.
Now he's on the ground curled up on himself and I'm towering over him.
"Is that all what you can do?"
I take it back using the same words as him.
"Ouch...sure you hit hard for being so small"
"Hey I'm more than proud of my 4.9 feet!"
I hold out my hand to help him get back on his feet and he accepts it.
"Sorry I didn't want to hurt you" I feel a little sorry.
"Don't worry!I would like to tell you that I am sorry too but I am somewhat stimulated by it"
"Are you serious?This is gross!"
I exclaim between amused and embarrassed.
But in the end we both burst out laughing.
"I'm kidding don't take it"
I see that Sam is keen to specify it so I cut him off with a wave of my hand.
"No worries no apology.I got this.You know I have the impression that you and I will become great friends"
"It would be a pleasure Amaya"
We both go back to our rooms to take a shower.
I feel more relaxed and confident in the future than when I arrived this morning.
Maybe my life is really about to change.
Bucky POV
It's 7:00 PM, Steve and I are sitting on the high stools in front of the corner bar of the Avengers Tower.
"When is Sharon coming?" my best friend asks me.
"She is on her way, she should be here any minute"
We continue sipping our beer in silence.
Tonight I absolutely do not feel in the mood to go out for the evening, especially if She will be with us.
But I can't be the usual bad party so since Tony and Pepper left for a romantic weekend, the remaining inhabitants of the tower will take advantage of it to go for a drink all together.
After a few minutes of silence we hear heels ticking in the corridor and following the tall, slender figure of my girlfriend appears at the door.
She wears a short midnight blue satin dress, at the foot of the jeweled sandals and her hair is gathered in a soft braid.
She is beautiful but I can't feel "those" butterflies in my stomach.
“Hey babe, you are beautiful”
I tell her as she approaches me, I put my arm around her waist and she sits on my legs.
I give her a kiss.
"Thanks" she replies slightly embarrassed, then she turns to Steve.
"Hey Steve, how are you?"
"It's not bad.We have all been very calm lately.Crime seems to have taken a break”
We all three laugh.
Meanwhile we hear laughter and voices coming from the corridor.
God just hearing her voice makes me in a bad mood.Of course Steve and Sharon notice my change of expression.
The first to speak is the blonde man next to me.
"Really man?After 4 months you still can't stand her?"
Sharon intrudes.
"You overacting babe"
I raise an eyebrow, she continues undeterred.
“I don't understand why you don't give her a chance, she's so cute and nice”
“I find her annoying.And arrogant"
I reply angrily and then go back to drink my beer.
“Give it a chance, dude.She's a good girl”
“Steve is right.Look I know you don't like to bond with people but she is part of your team and she is not bad at all.Give her a chance"
I irritated sigh.
"But did you two agree tonight?"
Meanwhile Sam, Natasha and She make their entrance.
Sam is simply wearing jeans and a black shirt while Nat is wearing a beautiful red dress that comes above the knee with a sweetheart neckline.
To the delight of Steve who like a boiled fish he stood looking at her with his mouth open.
She approaches him and gives him a passionate, very passionate kiss.
“Hey you two, cut it out!You're not alone” Sam points out.
Steve blushes and Nat gives him her elegant red enameled middle finger.
We laugh.All together.
While for a moment I laugh carefree, I turn to the door and take my breath away.
For a moment our eyes meet, chaining each other.
There is no hatred or anger.
She wears a very short nude dress, it reaches mid-thigh.
The dizzying neckline embellished with many small sequins, at her feet she wears décolleté that recall the color of the dress.
Her wavy red hair falls soft and velvety down her back.
Her face is clean, very little makeup, except for her lips.
A sinful red illuminate them.
My mind immediately paints them wrapped around my dick.
Oh fuck.I'm fucked up.
I curse myself mentally because all this is wrong, I should react like this only for my girlfriend and for no one else.
She passes me leaving a trail of perfume that immediately reaches the crotch of my pants, I move uncomfortably.
Sharon rises from my lap to reach out to Amaya and hug her.
Then she approaches Steve and leaves him a kiss on the cheek.
“Hey handsome” she greets him.
Meanwhile, Natasha and Sharon stand behind the counter to prepare some drinks.
Sam turns to Amaya.
"What does my sexy girl want to drink?"
"Since when have I been your Wilson?"
"You didn't say that last night..."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Everyone except me.
She sits down on the stool next to mine, I stiffen instantly.
"In your dreams Wilson, in your dreams"
I hate her way of flirting with everyone, I don't understand how Nat takes it when she does it with Steve.
She has bonded with everyone in these 4 months, with one exception of course.
With Tony they seem to be very close, often you can find them sitting together somewhere chatting.
Whether it's Tony's laboratory or the training room, they always find a moment to exchange a few words.
As if they shared a secret of their own.
With Steve, Sam and Natasha has established a beautiful relationship, they act as if they have known each other for a lifetime.
The way they talk, laugh and joke make me feel left out.
She has even befriended with Pepper and Sharon.
Sharon respects her very much and Amaya has always been very kind to her.
A voice pulls me from my thoughts.
"Babe.Babe?C'mon we have to go"
It's Sharon who talks to me.
So we walk outside and decide our destination.
Nat and Steve already seem to know where to go.
“Yes, it's a really nice place, it's down the street so we can walk.Steve and I found this out by accident a few weeks ago.What's that pub called, honey?"
Steve thinks about it for a moment.
"If I'm not mistaken it's called Terra Blues"
I can’t breathe.
I look up and meet Amaya's eyes fixed on me.
We both know what that pub represents to us.
Oh Amaya I know what you are thinking…your thoughts are the mirror of mine right now.
I see her swaying uncomfortably, she immediately looks away from my eyes and shakes her head, as if to free her mind from annoying thoughts.
She takes a step towards Sam and rests her hand in the crook of his elbow as if she needs some support.
He smiles softly at her and covers her hand with his.
We set out, the air of this June evening is quite pleasant.
The streets are full of people and the traffic seems out of control.
A typical New York Saturday night.
In front of me Sam and Steve are chatting about motorcycles, the two redheads giggle at who knows what as they walk hand in hand.
They attract a lot of attention on the street with their stunning bodies and Steve, even though he seems distracted by his argument, always has a watchful eye on the two girls.
Sharon and I are behind them, my arm wrapped around her shoulders as she is talking to me about something I can't understand.
I nod absently and thank god she doesn't notice.
Arrived at the pub we enter and are escorted to a table in front of the stage where a jazz band is performing.
We sit down and order the first round, Vodka for everyone.
We get lost in chatter and laughter for a while until out of the corner of my eye I notice that Amaya is distracted, she seems to be constantly looking for someone in the crowd.
I'm not the only one to have noticed it though.
"Hey are you waiting for someone Snow?" the former Russian spy asks her.
"Maybe" her only answer.
Now she has the eyes of the whole table turned towards her.
"What...what do you have to stare at me?"
"Who is this guy?" Sam asks feigning offense, she laughs and gives him a light blow on the chest.He pretends to get hurt and massages the affected area.
Amaya and Natasha look into each other's eyes and Romanoff exclaims “No way!No fucking way!Are you kidding me?"
Amaya smiles slyly without answering her.
Nat continues.
“Seriously?Lucas Scott?"
I see my girlfriend's head whirling towards Amaya.
"Do you really have a date with Agent Scott tonight?"
"It's not really a date, I told him where I was going to be tonight and since he's around he said he'll come by to greet me"
Amaya is keen to point out.
I am facing Sharon with my mouth wide open.
She notices it.
"What's up?"
As soon as I am about to answer her Amaya begins to laugh, a crystalline laugh.
Enchanting as the mermaid's voice and I am so enraptured that I can not help but turn to her.
She is looking at me and continues to laugh.
“Oh Barnes you should see your face now.You are red with jealousy“
I am stunned, it is the first time she has spoken to me in 4 months.
Everyone laughs and Sharon wraps her arms around my neck.
"C'mon James you know I only love you but objectively Lucas is one of the hottest agents working at Triskelion"
"How did you meet?" curious Steve intervenes.
"We met a couple of times in Washington and one thing led to another and we found ourselves chatting and exchanging numbers.We have been talking for about a month now" explains the former Agent Zero.
Sam gets up from his seat.
"Someone wants to dance?" he asks, turning his gaze to each of us.
Sharon stands up and holds out her hand to Sam.
“I'll come.Do you mind babe?" question addressed to me.
"No don't worry.Go ahead, you know I hate dancing"
She bends over me and kisses me.
Steve and Nat ask us what else we want to drink and they head over to the bar.
Sitting at the table, only Amaya and I are left, the memory of the only time I was here hits me fully.
Images of her kneeling at my feet fill my head, sending me jolts of pleasure that expand from my intestines to the crotch of my pants.
My cock twitch in my pants.
"You could at least pretend that you like me after 4 months, you moron"
Her voice rouses me.
"Sorry...what?"
"You got it, Barnes"
Amaya finishes her drink and turns completely to me.
Her green, mesmerizing eyes don't let me go.
“Look I know you don't like me and that's okay even if I don't understand why.I don't want anything from you, I've already got what I wanted.It was a one night only.I have no interest in you and I have no intention of meddling between you and Sharon" she leans her elbows on the table and leans towards me, her large and voluptuous breasts seem to want to get out of the subtle prison that is her dress.
She continues with her speech while I can't help but listen to her with my mouth open.
“I know it won't make any sense to you but after almost 13 years I don't feel alone anymore.By accentuating this work, I finally found friends, people who respect me and who love me for who I am.Don't make me leave all of this” her voice seems to break.
I feel guilty for acting like a perfect idiot.
She looks at a spot behind me and a big smile appears on her lips, then she brings her attention back to me.
She stands up and before leaving she tells me one last thing.
"You owe me this thing Barnes.I've always been fair to you.Please”
I look down at my beer and hear her sigh.
The time to look up and she is gone.
I turn my head behind me and see her hug a tall blond man.
I go back to my beer, confused and disoriented.
Steve and Natasha return to the table with our orders while Sam and Sharon are dancing and laughing in the middle of the floor, he is giving her a pirouette.
I pause to look at Amaya and that guy.
They are leaning against the bar counter, he is saying something to her and she throws her head back laughing heartily and then she puts her hand on his chest and they observe each other for a few seconds.
And then he kisses her.
His lips are on hers those of her who happily reciprocates, her hands go on his neck and caress him.
Instead, his hands are on her hips, I see how he holds her soft flesh.
I know the feeling that he is trying to hold her.
My hand on Vibranium automatically tightens around the glass.
Sam's voice rouses me from my anger.
I hadn't even noticed they were back at the table.
As I turn to him I notice Natasha's curious look at me, I pretend nothing has happened.
"They're getting into it, huh?" Sam giggles.
Them start a barrage of comments about the kiss but I do not pay the slightest attention.
I feel anger boiling in my stomach.
I lean towards my girlfriend's ear.
"What do you say if you follow me to the bathroom in 5 minutes?"
I see her pupils dilate, she bites her lip.
I can see a spark of lust ignite in her eyes.
"You are crazy James, you know?" so saying she gets up and goes to the bathroom.
Without saying a word, I too get up and follow her.
Once we get to the bathroom I don't even give her time to talk.
I drag her with me inside to one of the cubicles and slamming her against the wall I begin to kiss her passionately.
She unbuttons half my shirt and scratches my chest with her long fingernails.
My hands are immediately under the hem of her dress, my fingers immediately find her panties and push them aside.
I penetrate her with two fingers, she gasps in my ear.
I continue to kiss her while I frantically pump inside her and with my other hand I pinch and massage her clit.
She cum shortly after.
Then I face with her shoulders towards me and I lift her dress, I pull down my pants just enough to free my erection.
I enter her badly, in an almost animal way.
She screams with pleasure and I immediately plug her mouth.
Between our moans I whisper to her "Shut up or someone will hear us"
She nods and I keep holding a hand on her mouth.
I don't give a fuck if someone catches us, that's not why my hand is on her lips blocking her gasps.
I do it because it's not her voice that I would like to hear at the moment.
I keep fucking her mercilessly, she is forced to put her hands against the wall to keep her balance and not hit her face.
I hate myself right now.
I hate myself with all my heart.
But I couldn't stay a minute longer seeing Amaya kissing another man, seeing how another could touch her and hold her.
I'm freaking out.
Thinking that he'll be between her thighs tonight makes my bile rise in my mouth.
I feel Sharon's pussy tightening around me.
She is going to cum so I keep pushing, harder and harder until I feel her cum.
I don't stop and I keep going in and out of her body until after a few moments I cum too.
We both have shortness of breath and a heart pounding.
But for different reasons.
She looks ecstatic.
I just want to throw up.
I feel like a monster.
“It was great” she gasps turning around and wrapping her arms around my neck.
She kisses me lewdly like she's ready for round two.
"We should do it more often" she continues, giggling.
After that she breaks off and tries to fix herself up.
When we are presentable we go back to our friends' table.
I immediately notice that Amaya and that guy they sat down at the table.
Fuck.
When we sit down, Mister Blonde Hair holds out his hand to me.
"Nice to meet you Sergeant"
"My pleasure but please call me Bucky"
We smile only out of courtesy.
Sam is looking at me strangely.
"What's up?"
He laughs attracting the attention of the whole table.
He points to my chest with his finger.
"Your shirt dude"
I look down and realize that it is badly buttoned, I see Sharon blush and laugh, then she turns to me.She adjusting my shirt and turns to Sam.
"I got it.Shut the fuck up!" Sharon says.
Everyone laughs loudly.
Everyone except me and Amaya, I see disgust in her face.
It lasts the fraction of a moment then her attention is again attracted by her handsome Prince Charming.
The evening passes between chatter and laughter but I am distracted most of the time.
I keep thinking about what I did and above all why I did it.
Amaya is a know-it-all and annoying woman but that doesn't take anything away from the fact that she is damn sexy.
That if I could I would fuck her here and now, in front of everyone.
Sharon does not deserve any of this, the guilt is corroding my guts like acid.
Finally someone has decided it's time to go, maybe it was Steve, so we leave the club.
Sharon comes over and kisses me.
"Are you sure you have to go?"
She sighs
"Unfortunately yes, tomorrow morning at 5 I have a flight to Newcastle and I still have to go to the hotel to settle my suitcase"
I sigh too but with relief.
I see her calling a taxi, she greets everyone and I kiss her one last time.
"I call you soon" she tells me, I nod.
The taxi leaves.
We walk towards the tower.
Agent Scott is on his way with us.
Great.
Steve and Natasha are in front of everyone, walking embraced, chatting happily.
Amaya is in front of me, she shrugs her shoulders as if she is cold and Scott takes off his jacket to wrap it around her shoulders.
She smiled softly at him and intertwined her fingers with his.
I clench my fists in my pockets, the urge to tighten my fingers around his throat is too great.
As if an unknown force pushed me to punch him until his pretty face turned into a mask of blood.
Sam is walking unaware by my side, continuing to tell me about that beautiful blonde who gave him her number just before leaving the place.
Once we reach the tower, everyone goes to their room.
The first to leave us are Steve and Nat.We say goodnight.
The two redheads wink.
They both giggle knowing what will happen shortly thereafter.
Sam stops in front of his door.
"Goodnight guys and I recommend Amaya not scream too loud that I am light sleeper"
She blushes but laughs heartily followed by Lucas.
I can't stand that much and keep walking towards my room door.
"Fuck you Wilson!" I hear her answer.
The sound of heels behind me and as I am about to enter the room I hear her voice.
"Night Barnes"
"Goodnight to you too"
I answer without turning and I close the door behind me.
I punch the wall, the imprint of my hand in Vibranium remains carved.
I go to the bed and throw myself on it badly.
I squeeze my eyes tight.
I can imagine her right now, he will be undressing her and she with her wise lips will be showing him heaven.
I can see her lying with her legs apart, all on display just for him, begging him to take her.
Her breasts that sway to the rhythm of his thrusts.
He who will give her one orgasm after another by getting sated with her sweet and tender flesh.
To kiss and lick where my lips had been before.
I run my hands through my hair, squeezing the locks in my fists and pulling.
The pain can distract me from my thoughts.
I take off my clothes and take a shower, I need to wash Sharon's smell and my anger out of my body.
At this moment, her scented trail makes me nauseous.

Vivian appreciated the absolute, quiet anonymity of the rainy city. Specifically, the freelance archivist spent her afternoons reading in a dimly lit corner cafe. Consequently, she observed the hurried lives of strangers from a comfortable, entirely safe distance. However, her peaceful routine shattered entirely on a stormy Tuesday afternoon. A massive, freezing downpour forced dozens of frantic commuters into the small, warm shop. Therefore, the usually quiet atmosphere became chaotic and deeply unpredictable.
A tall man in a dark trench coat sat briefly at her adjacent table. He ordered a black coffee and checked his gold pocket watch obsessively. Suddenly, he rushed out the door to catch a passing yellow taxi. Ultimately, he left something highly unusual and incredibly valuable behind. Vivian stared at the forgotten umbrella resting perfectly against the mahogany chair. Indeed, this simple, elegant object completely destroyed her safe, predictable existence.
The Elegance of the Forgotten Umbrella
The abandoned object looked incredibly expensive and highly sophisticated. For instance, the canopy featured tightly woven, beautiful midnight black silk. Furthermore, a heavy, solid silver handle anchored the unique, vintage design. Consequently, Vivian felt a strange, magnetic pull toward the luxurious item. She waited exactly twenty minutes for the mysterious stranger to return. However, the heavy cafe door never opened, and the rain continued to fall relentlessly.
Therefore, she finally reached across the small gap and grasped the cold silver handle. The metal felt surprisingly heavy and perfectly balanced in her palm. Specifically, she noticed intricate, deeply engraved geometric patterns winding around the grip. Essentially, it resembled a valuable antique rather than a standard, modern weather accessory. Vivian paid her coffee tab and walked out into the freezing, violent storm.
She opened the large canopy, instantly feeling protected from the harsh weather. The heavy rain drummed a steady, rhythmic beat against the tight black silk. Consequently, Vivian hurried down the crowded sidewalk toward her private apartment. She navigated the flooded city streets with unexpected, effortless grace. Indeed, the elegant accessory made her feel strangely powerful and completely secure. She arrived at her historic building completely dry and deeply intrigued.
A Secret Hidden in the Handle
She stepped into the warm lobby and shook the excess water away. Suddenly, a strange, metallic rattling sound echoed directly from the silver handle. Vivian stopped walking, frowning down at the expensive object in her right hand. Specifically, the solid grip sounded entirely hollow upon closer, careful inspection. Therefore, she shook the item again, confirming the presence of a loose object inside. Consequently, her natural curiosity completely overpowered her usual, highly disciplined caution.
Vivian rode the brass elevator up to her fifth-floor apartment in complete silence. She locked her heavy front door and carried the item directly into her kitchen. Consequently, she placed the wet object carefully onto the marble countertop. She examined the intricate silver handle under the bright, harsh overhead lights. Furthermore, she discovered a nearly invisible seam cutting directly across the engraved metal. Obviously, the bottom half of the handle operated as a hidden, removable cap.
She gripped the silver base firmly and twisted it counter-clockwise. Initially, the metal resisted her efforts, completely sealed against the elements. However, the threaded cap finally gave way with a soft, satisfying mechanical click. Consequently, she unscrewed the bottom piece entirely, revealing a deep, dark cavity. She carefully tipped the forgotten umbrella upside down over the marble counter. A small, waterproof brass capsule slid smoothly out of the hidden compartment.
The Terrifying Discovery
The brass capsule looked entirely watertight and heavily machined. Specifically, it resembled the kind of secure container used for highly sensitive espionage. Vivian unscrewed the top of the capsule with trembling, freezing fingers. Consequently, she pulled out a single, tightly rolled piece of thick parchment paper. She flattened the heavy paper against the kitchen counter, placing two coffee mugs on the edges. Ultimately, she leaned forward to read the handwritten contents under the bright light.
The document contained a highly specific, meticulously organized list of six names. Furthermore, the mysterious author wrote the text using dark, heavy fountain pen ink. Vivian scanned the first three names on the frightening, cryptic list. Suddenly, her stomach dropped completely as she noticed a chilling, terrifying detail. Someone drew a thick, violent red line directly through the first three names. Consequently, the visual presentation strongly suggested a systematic, brutal elimination process.
She forced her eyes to travel further down the heavy parchment paper. The fourth name belonged to a prominent local judge, completely untouched by the red ink. Therefore, she looked at the fifth entry and stopped breathing entirely. Her own full legal name stared back at her in dark, elegant cursive. Specifically, the predator identified her exactly, including her obscure middle initial. The forgotten umbrella was absolutely not a random, accidental discovery in the cafe.
The Paranoia of the Forgotten Umbrella
The terrifying realization hit her like a massive, physical blow to the chest. The man in the trench coat deliberately placed the item next to her table. Consequently, he wanted her to take the expensive object back to her private home. He orchestrated the entire interaction with cold, calculating, and terrifying precision. Therefore, the list served as a highly specific, personalized psychological warning. The invisible stalker actively hunted her, and he wanted her to know about it.
Vivian backed away from the marble counter, completely paralyzed by pure dread. She desperately tried to formulate a rational, logical explanation for the impossible list. Perhaps an old college friend was playing an elaborate, deeply cruel practical joke. However, the heavy silver handle and the brass capsule represented a massive financial investment. Consequently, a simple prankster would never possess the resources for such a complex operation. Indeed, the threat was incredibly real and highly sophisticated.
She rushed into her dark living room and peered through the heavy curtains. The rainy city street below looked completely empty and deeply shadowed. Suddenly, a sleek black sedan pulled slowly into the parking spot across the street. The vehicle cut its headlights immediately, disappearing into the heavy darkness. Specifically, Vivian noticed the faint, glowing red ember of a cigarette inside the car. Therefore, the predator successfully tracked her movements directly to her secure apartment building.
Investigating the Target List
Vivian completely refused to simply cower in the dark like a helpless victim. She possessed a brilliant, highly analytical mind trained in deep archival research. Consequently, she grabbed her secure laptop and returned to the brightly lit kitchen. She typed the first three crossed-out names directly into an encrypted search engine. The digital results loaded instantly, confirming her absolute darkest, most terrifying fears. The first three individuals died under highly suspicious, unexplained circumstances over the last month.
Specifically, the local media ruled all three deaths as tragic, bizarre accidents. A wealthy businessman fell from a high-rise balcony during a terrible storm. A prominent lawyer drowned in his own private, secure swimming pool. Furthermore, a retired politician suffered a fatal, entirely unprecedented allergic reaction at a restaurant. Consequently, Vivian recognized the clear, undeniable pattern of a highly trained professional assassin. The killer executed his targets flawlessly, completely avoiding any serious police investigations.
Therefore, she desperately searched for the connection linking her to these powerful people. Vivian operated as a quiet freelance archivist, organizing historical documents for private estates. She never interacted with massive wealth, high-stakes politics, or dangerous corporate espionage. Suddenly, a specific memory flashed brilliantly across her racing, panicked mind. She recently digitized a massive collection of old property deeds for a mysterious client. Essentially, those boring documents contained a massive, hidden financial scandal involving the entire city.
The Tracking Device
The assassin actively eliminated anyone possessing knowledge of the massive, corrupt land deals. Consequently, Vivian represented the final, most dangerous loose end in their violent conspiracy. She looked down at the heavy silver handle resting on her counter. Specifically, she wondered how the killer tracked her seamlessly through the chaotic, crowded city. She picked up the hollow metal grip and examined the interior with a bright flashlight. Ultimately, she spotted a tiny, blinking green LED light glued to the inner wall.
The forgotten umbrella contained a military-grade, highly precise GPS tracking beacon. The stalker essentially tricked her into carrying her own lethal homing device. Consequently, her apartment was completely compromised and entirely unsafe. She needed to evacuate the building immediately before the assassin made his final move. Therefore, she grabbed a dark canvas duffel bag from her bedroom closet. She packed exactly three days of comfortable clothes, her passport, and all her emergency cash.
She moved quietly through the apartment, keeping the interior lights completely dark. Furthermore, she desperately wanted to throw the heavy tracking device out the window. However, destroying the beacon would instantly alert the killer to her sudden panic. He would storm the building immediately, trapping her inside the narrow hallways. Consequently, she needed to create a highly convincing, temporary digital decoy. She placed the silver handle carefully back onto the kitchen counter.
The Counter-Surveillance Trap
Vivian needed the assassin to believe she was peacefully sleeping in her bed. Specifically, she turned on her bedroom television, keeping the volume incredibly low. The flickering blue light perfectly simulated a relaxed, entirely normal evening routine. Consequently, she slipped out of the apartment through the heavy, fire-resistant back door. She navigated the dark, echoing emergency stairwell with rapid, silent precision. Ultimately, she completely bypassed the main lobby and the security cameras.
She exited the building through the damp, hidden basement loading dock. The freezing rain immediately soaked through her dark wool coat. Therefore, she pulled her hood up and vanished into the narrow, shadowed alleyway. She walked exactly three blocks before stopping in the doorway of a closed bakery. Consequently, she possessed a perfect, unobstructed view of the black sedan parked across from her building. She waited in the freezing dark, watching the predator prepare for his hunt.
Exactly twenty minutes later, the driver's side door of the sedan opened slowly. The tall man in the dark trench coat stepped out onto the wet pavement. He looked incredibly calm, moving with terrifying, highly calculated efficiency. Furthermore, he pulled a small, suppressed pistol from his deep interior pocket. Consequently, Vivian watched him enter her apartment building through the front glass doors. He genuinely believed he trapped his final, helpless victim inside the fifth-floor apartment.
Executing the Decoy Plan
Vivian did not wait to watch the inevitable, violent conclusion of his assault. She turned around and sprinted down the dark, rainy street toward the subway station. Specifically, she needed to vanish completely into the massive, chaotic underground transit system. The loud, echoing tunnels provided the perfect, untraceable escape route. Consequently, she purchased a physical ticket with cash and boarded a southbound train. She sat in the corner of the empty car, catching her breath in the harsh fluorescent light.
Meanwhile, she visualized the assassin breaking the heavy lock on her front door. He would enter the dark apartment with his suppressed weapon completely drawn. Furthermore, he would creep silently toward the glowing blue light of the bedroom television. Consequently, he would throw the heavy blankets back, finding absolutely nothing but empty pillows. He would eventually walk into the kitchen and discover the disassembled silver handle. Ultimately, he would realize the quiet archivist completely outsmarted his highly sophisticated trap.
The forgotten umbrella successfully delivered a terrifying threat, but it also provided her salvation. By discovering the hidden list, she gained a crucial, life-saving tactical advantage. She knew his methods, his schedule, and his terrifying overall objective. Therefore, she officially shifted from a passive, oblivious target into an active, dangerous problem. She completely refused to run and hide for the rest of her entire life. She intended to burn the entire corrupt conspiracy completely to the ground.
The Final Message
She exited the subway station near the bustling, brightly lit international airport. Specifically, she needed to mail a highly sensitive package before disappearing completely. She walked into an all-night shipping center and purchased a secure, padded envelope. Consequently, she placed a digital flash drive containing all the corrupt property deeds inside. She addressed the heavy package directly to the most aggressive investigative journalist in the city. Indeed, she decided to detonate the scandal publicly and completely destroy the powerful clients.
Furthermore, she included the handwritten hit list on the heavy parchment paper. The undeniable physical evidence would instantly legitimize the explosive journalistic investigation. Consequently, the corrupt politicians and wealthy businessmen would face massive, immediate federal indictments. The professional assassin would suddenly become a massive liability to his own desperate employers. Therefore, they would turn on him completely, hunting him down to silence him forever. Ultimately, Vivian brilliantly reversed the entire deadly dynamic with a single envelope.
She dropped the heavy package into the secure, metal shipping drop-box. The loud, clanking sound of the metal door closing echoed in the quiet lobby. Consequently, a profound, massive sense of absolute relief washed over her exhausted body. She walked out of the shipping center and hailed a passing taxi. The rain finally stopped, leaving the city streets shining beautifully in the early dawn light. She survived the terrifying psychological game and successfully destroyed the invisible monsters.
Vivian leaned back against the leather taxi seat and closed her eyes completely. She lacked a specific, permanent destination, but she possessed her ultimate freedom. The deadly assassin would spend the rest of his short life looking over his shoulder. Consequently, he would finally experience the exact, paralyzing terror he forced upon his helpless victims. She smiled softly, thinking about the empty silver handle resting on her kitchen counter. Indeed, the forgotten umbrella ultimately provided the perfect storm that washed the corruption away.

Evelyn despised the rigid, suffocating structure of her highly public political marriage. Initially, she believed Marcus genuinely wanted to change the city for the better. However, her powerful husband merely viewed her as a highly effective, beautiful campaign prop. Consequently, she spent her days attending endless charity luncheons and smiling for the local press. The lonely woman completely lost her own identity within the massive, echoing walls of their estate. She often stared blankly into the rearview mirror of their luxury vehicles, wondering where her life went wrong. Ultimately, she surrendered to a life of quiet desperation and expensive, tailored suits. Furthermore, Marcus actively monitored her daily schedule with terrifying, absolute precision. Therefore, she never possessed a single moment of genuine, unmonitored privacy.
The Introduction of the Driver
The suffocating dynamic shifted completely on a freezing Tuesday morning in November. Specifically, Marcus fired his veteran chauffeur and hired a much younger replacement. Silas stood quietly beside the sleek black town car, wearing a sharp, dark suit. He opened the heavy rear door for Evelyn without speaking a single word. Consequently, she slid into the plush leather seat and ignored his presence entirely. She assumed he was just another loyal, silent spy working directly for her husband. Indeed, Marcus usually employed men who eagerly reported her every single movement. Therefore, Evelyn stared blankly out the tinted window, bracing for another agonizing day.
However, Silas did not operate like the previous, highly talkative drivers. For instance, he never initiated forced, polite small talk during the long morning commute. Furthermore, he navigated the chaotic city traffic with smooth, predatory grace. The interior of the luxury vehicle felt incredibly calm and profoundly safe. Subsequently, Evelyn finally allowed herself to drop her heavy, public smile. She let her profound exhaustion show completely on her pale, beautiful face. She believed the new driver completely ignored her presence in the back seat. Ultimately, this assumption proved entirely, dangerously incorrect.
Suddenly, she felt a heavy, intense weight pressing against her skin. Evelyn glanced forward and immediately caught his dark eyes in the rearview mirror. Silas watched her with a level of piercing, unapologetic intensity that startled her completely. Consequently, she looked away quickly, her heart hammering violently against her ribs. The brief, silent visual contact felt incredibly intimate and deeply forbidden. Normal employees strictly avoided making direct eye contact with the wealthy politician's wife. Obviously, Silas did not care about the traditional, rigid rules of his employment. In fact, he looked at her like a starving man discovering a feast.
A Silent Connection in the Rearview Mirror
The visual encounters escalated dramatically over the next three miserable weeks. Specifically, Evelyn found herself constantly seeking his reflection during their daily drives. The rectangular rearview mirror quickly transformed into their own private, highly dangerous sanctuary. For example, Marcus often rode in the back seat alongside her, screaming into his phone. He berated his political staff with cruel, vicious, and entirely unreasonable demands. Meanwhile, Evelyn sat perfectly still, absorbing the toxic, aggressive energy in complete silence. Consequently, Silas would subtly adjust the mirror to catch her eye.
He offered her a look of profound, deeply grounding emotional support. Ultimately, his silent gaze promised her that he understood her daily torture perfectly. Evelyn drew immense, terrifying strength from those brief, stolen moments of visual contact. Furthermore, the driver completely masked his disgust for Marcus behind a perfectly neutral expression. He played the role of the obedient servant flawlessly to the outside world. Indeed, only Evelyn witnessed the dark, burning anger flashing in his eyes. Consequently, the shared secret forged an incredibly powerful, unbreakable bond between them.
The silent communication rapidly evolved into a complex, highly sophisticated emotional language. For instance, Silas tapped his fingers against the steering wheel to soothe her anxiety. Specifically, he tapped a slow, steady rhythm whenever Marcus became violently angry. This subtle, physical gesture grounded Evelyn completely during her husband's terrifying outbursts. Therefore, she survived the brutal political environment by focusing entirely on the driver. The front seat of the luxury car became her only source of genuine comfort. Obviously, relying on an employee for emotional survival represented a massive, catastrophic risk.
The Rearview Mirror and Unspoken Desire
The forbidden nature of their connection amplified the romantic tension significantly. Evelyn knew a physical affair would completely destroy her reputation and her life. Marcus possessed the power and the ruthless resources to ruin them both permanently. Consequently, the physical barrier between the front and back seats felt agonizingly cruel. She desperately wanted to reach forward and touch his broad, tailored shoulder. Furthermore, she wanted to feel the warmth of his skin against her freezing hands. Ultimately, the rigid social hierarchy kept them separated by a few agonizing inches.
Instead, they consummated their forbidden love entirely through the rearview mirror. Silas mapped every single contour of her beautiful face using only his reflection. He noticed when she changed her subtle perfume or wore a different shade of lipstick. For instance, his eyes darkened visibly whenever she wore her favorite crimson dress. The intense, predatory hunger in his gaze made her breath catch completely. Consequently, Evelyn began dressing specifically to capture his attention during the morning commute. She engaged in a thrilling, highly dangerous game of silent, visual seduction.
Naturally, the extreme psychological restraint pushed them both toward a dangerous breaking point. They occupied the same enclosed, intimate space for several hours every single day. The heavy silence inside the car buzzed with thick, unadulterated sexual tension. For example, the air felt practically electric whenever the vehicle hit a sudden bump. Evelyn would accidentally slide slightly closer to the center console separating them. Consequently, Silas would grip the leather steering wheel until his knuckles turned completely white. He fought a constant, agonizing battle to maintain his professional distance.
The First Midnight Drive
The situation finally shattered during a terrible, violent winter storm in December. Marcus attended a highly exclusive political fundraiser without her, leaving her entirely alone. Consequently, the massive estate felt incredibly dark, cold, and profoundly isolating. Evelyn drank two glasses of expensive red wine, desperate to numb her chronic loneliness. Furthermore, she felt a sudden, reckless urge to escape the suffocating mansion immediately. She walked down to the heated garage, wearing only a silk dress and a heavy coat. Silas sat alone in the driver's seat of the idling town car.
She opened the rear door and slipped into the warm, leather interior. Silas turned around slowly, his dark eyes wide with genuine, immediate concern. "Drive," she commanded softly, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and adrenaline. Therefore, he did not ask for a specific destination or question her sudden authority. He simply shifted the heavy vehicle into gear and pulled out into the freezing rain. Consequently, they drove aimlessly through the dark, abandoned city streets for over an hour. The rhythmic sound of the windshield wipers provided a hypnotic, deeply soothing background noise.
Eventually, Silas parked the luxury car near a dark, completely deserted harbor overlook. The freezing rain lashed violently against the thick, tinted windows of the vehicle. Evelyn stared at the blurred city lights shining across the dark, choppy water. Suddenly, the engine cut off, plunging the interior into a heavy, intimate silence. She looked up and found his eyes waiting in the rearview mirror again. However, the professional restraint completely vanished from his intense, burning gaze. He looked at her with pure, unmasked, and devastating romantic desperation.
Breaking the Physical Barrier
"You cannot keep doing this to me," Silas whispered into the dark car. His deep voice sounded incredibly raw, entirely lacking its usual smooth control. Evelyn stopped breathing completely, paralyzed by the sudden breaking of their silent rule. Consequently, the spoken words shattered the delicate, protective glass between their separate worlds. She finally heard the profound agony he suffered while watching her endure Marcus. Furthermore, she realized his silent devotion was slowly tearing his mind apart. Therefore, she slowly unbuckled her seatbelt with trembling, freezing hands.
She leaned forward across the center console, bridging the physical gap completely. Her heavy winter coat fell open, revealing the dark silk dress beneath. Silas turned his head slightly, closing his eyes as her perfume surrounded him. Ultimately, he reached back and gently touched the side of her pale face. The brief, physical contact sent a massive shockwave of pure electricity through her body. His calloused fingers felt incredibly warm against her freezing, tear-stained skin. Consequently, Evelyn leaned into his touch, completely surrendering to the forbidden comfort.
They did not share a passionate, chaotic kiss in the dark car. The profound emotional weight of the moment demanded a much slower, devastating intimacy. Specifically, he simply stroked her cheek while she cried quietly into the shadows. He provided the absolute safety and genuine tenderness she lacked for seven years. Therefore, the simple gesture felt infinitely more intimate than any physical affair. Silas silently promised to protect her from the brutal world outside the vehicle. Consequently, Evelyn finally realized she was deeply, irrevocably in love with her driver.
Returning to the Nightmare
Unfortunately, the harsh reality of her political marriage returned the very next morning. Marcus demanded her presence at a highly publicized breakfast charity event downtown. Consequently, Evelyn sat stiffly in the back seat, wearing a bright, fake smile. Silas drove the car with perfect, robotic precision, staring straight at the road. The beautiful intimacy of the previous night felt like a distant, impossible dream. Furthermore, Marcus seemed incredibly agitated, complaining loudly about his failing poll numbers. He directed his toxic frustration entirely at Evelyn, criticizing her appearance harshly.
She absorbed the cruel insults silently, staring down at her perfectly manicured hands. However, she caught a sudden, terrifying flash of movement in the front seat. Silas gripped the heavy steering wheel with terrifying, barely contained physical violence. Specifically, the thick muscles in his neck jumped as he clenched his jaw. He was actively preparing to stop the car and drag Marcus onto the street. Therefore, Evelyn desperately kicked the back of his seat to break his dangerous focus. She caught his blazing eyes in the rearview mirror and shook her head slightly.
She silently begged him to remain calm and protect his own life. Attacking the powerful mayor would guarantee Silas a massive, lengthy prison sentence. Consequently, the driver forced himself to release his crushing grip on the leather wheel. He took a deep, shuddering breath and smoothly merged into the heavy highway traffic. Ultimately, Evelyn realized her presence actively endangered the only man she truly loved. The forbidden romance evolved into a highly volatile, completely unsustainable situation. She needed to escape the marriage before Silas committed a terrible crime for her.
The Architecture of an Escape
The desperate lovers began planning her dangerous exit strategy over the next month. They could not risk sending text messages or writing physical letters. Consequently, they communicated their complex escape plan entirely through subtle, physical cues. For instance, Silas would leave a specific local map folded inside the glove compartment. Evelyn would quietly review the highlighted routes while Marcus took aggressive phone calls. Furthermore, she began slowly liquidating her small, private jewelry collection in secret. She hid the cash inside a waterproof bag tucked under her passenger seat.
They chose a massive, chaotic public gala as the perfect staging ground. Specifically, Marcus planned to announce his reelection campaign during the crowded evening event. He demanded Evelyn stand directly beside him on the grand, brightly lit stage. Therefore, the entire local press corps would focus entirely on the political spectacle. Silas parked the town car in the dark, chaotic loading dock behind the hotel. He handed her the heavy keys, his fingers lingering briefly against her palm. Consequently, they shared a final, agonizing look of pure, desperate hope.
Evelyn walked into the massive ballroom wearing a stunning, heavily sequined silver gown. She played the perfect, adoring political wife flawlessly for two agonizing hours. Consequently, Marcus completely ignored her presence, focusing entirely on wealthy campaign donors. When the mayor finally stepped up to the podium, Evelyn slowly backed away. She slipped through the heavy velvet curtains and sprinted down the dark service hallway. Her heart hammered violently against her ribs as she abandoned her luxurious prison forever. She reached the loading dock and threw herself into the idling town car.
One Final Look in the Rearview Mirror
Silas did not wait for her to buckle her heavy seatbelt. He slammed the accelerator down, tearing out of the dark alleyway instantly. The massive luxury vehicle roared onto the rainy, slick city highway. Evelyn ripped the expensive diamond necklace from her throat and threw it on the floor. Consequently, she completely shed the suffocating weight of her toxic political marriage. She laughed loudly, the sound echoing strangely in the quiet, spacious interior. Furthermore, she finally felt completely safe, completely free, and entirely alive.
She climbed carefully over the center console and dropped into the passenger seat. Silas glanced at her, a massive, genuine smile breaking across his handsome face. He reached out and grabbed her hand, weaving his fingers tightly through hers. Ultimately, they lacked a clear destination, but they finally possessed each other. Evelyn leaned her head against his broad shoulder and closed her tired eyes. She survived the psychological torture and reclaimed her own beautiful, independent future.
Before falling asleep, she opened her eyes and glanced at the dashboard. She looked directly into the rectangular rearview mirror one final time. The dark, imposing skyline of the corrupt city rapidly faded into the distance. The terrifying political estate and the cruel mayor vanished completely into the rainy darkness. Consequently, Evelyn reached up and tilted the small mirror downward toward the floor. She officially severed her connection to the painful past entirely. She no longer needed to look backward; her beautiful future sat directly beside her.

Arthur preferred to fade completely into the background during high-society events. The quiet financial analyst attended the prestigious winter charity gala out of sheer corporate obligation. He spent three agonizing hours sipping mediocre champagne near the grand ballroom exit. The man smiled politely at wealthy strangers and avoided any meaningful conversations entirely. He finally decided to escape the suffocating social performance shortly before midnight. Arthur handed his small brass ticket to the attendant working the VIP cloakroom. The young worker quickly retrieved his expensive, tailored black cashmere overcoat. The analyst slipped the heavy garment over his shoulders with a deep sigh of profound relief. He stepped out of the luxurious hotel into the freezing, rain-slicked city streets. A waiting taxi immediately pulled up to the curb to carry him home. He climbed into the warm back seat, completely unaware of the terrifying nightmare unfolding around him.
The dark city blurred past the rain-streaked taxi windows in a neon haze. Arthur leaned back against the leather seat and let his muscles relax. He reached his right hand into the deep inner pocket of the cashmere garment. He expected to find his leather wallet and his silver house keys waiting there. Instead, his freezing fingers brushed against a cold, unfamiliar metallic object. Arthur frowned heavily, pulling the strange item out into the dim taxi light. He held a heavy, encrypted titanium flash drive in the palm of his hand. Panic instantly gripped his chest with an icy, suffocating hold. He quickly realized he grabbed the wrong coat from the crowded hotel cloakroom. The garment looked absolutely identical to his own expensive designer purchase. However, the dangerous secret hiding inside the silk lining changed his reality forever.
The Discovery in the Taxi
Arthur urgently patted down the other pockets of the mysterious dark coat. He hoped to find a business card or a wallet belonging to the true owner. He planned to simply call the stranger and arrange a polite, immediate exchange. Unfortunately, the other pockets contained absolutely zero traditional identifying information. Instead, his fingers found a stiff, square piece of glossy paper tucked near the hem. He pulled the item out and flipped it over under the streetlights. It was a fresh, incredibly clear polaroid photograph. Arthur felt the blood drain entirely from his pale, sweating face. The picture displayed a high-resolution image of his own private living room.
The terrifying photograph captured his dark mahogany bookshelf and his leather armchair perfectly. Someone stood directly outside his second-story apartment window to take the shot. Furthermore, a timestamp printed in the bottom corner revealed a chilling detail. The unknown stalker captured the image precisely two hours ago. Arthur attended the crowded charity gala while a predator hunted him at home. This was not a simple, innocent mistake involving the wrong coat. The mysterious stranger deliberately swapped the identical cashmere garments at the cloakroom. The predator wanted Arthur to find the encrypted drive and the threatening photograph.
A Calculated Psychological Trap
The financial analyst struggled to draw a full breath in the cramped taxi. He suddenly felt incredibly exposed and entirely vulnerable in the moving vehicle. The driver hummed a quiet tune, completely oblivious to his passenger's mounting terror. Arthur frantically checked the brand label sewn inside the collar of the garment. The coat matched his exact designer brand, his specific color, and his precise measurements. The stalker meticulously planned the swap down to the finest, most invisible details. They executed the psychological trap with terrifying, military-grade precision.
He slid the polaroid and the titanium drive back into the deep pocket. Arthur instructed the driver to change his destination immediately. He refused to return to the compromised apartment displayed in the chilling photograph. The analyst directed the taxi toward a busy, brightly lit downtown hotel instead. He needed a neutral, highly secure location to formulate a proper survival plan. The car merged onto the highway, putting distance between Arthur and his private residence. He watched the rearview mirror obsessively, searching for any following headlights in the dark.
The Safety of a Rented Room
Arthur paid the taxi driver entirely in cash and hurried inside the hotel lobby. He booked a premium corner suite under a fake corporate alias. The receptionist handed him a plastic key card with a warm, polite smile. She noticed absolutely nothing wrong with the terrified man standing before her. He took the secure elevator up to the fifteenth floor in complete silence. The heavy wooden door of his suite clicked shut, locking the dangerous world outside. Arthur engaged the deadbolt and the secondary metal chain immediately.
He threw the heavy cashmere garment onto the pristine white hotel bed. The coat looked incredibly sinister resting against the bright, clean linens. Arthur approached the dark fabric as if it concealed a venomous snake. He carefully extracted the titanium flash drive and the terrifying polaroid photograph again. The analyst laid the items out on the glass desk near the window. He needed to understand the true nature of the threat targeting his quiet life. He plugged the encrypted drive directly into his secure work laptop.
Breaking the Digital Encryption
A black command prompt window instantly popped up on the glowing laptop screen. The mysterious software demanded a highly complex, sixteen-digit alphanumeric passcode. Arthur stared at the blinking digital cursor with profound, exhausting frustration. He lacked the advanced hacking skills required to bypass a military-grade encryption wall. The man rubbed his tired eyes, trying to think logically through the rising panic. The predator left the drive specifically for him to find in the wrong coat. Therefore, the stalker must have provided the necessary passcode somewhere nearby.
Arthur picked up the polaroid photograph and examined it under the desk lamp. He studied every single shadow and highlight captured in the glossy image. The picture displayed his mahogany bookshelf bathed in the soft glow of a streetlamp. He noticed a strange, unnatural anomaly resting on the third wooden shelf. A small, white piece of paper sat propped against a classic novel. Arthur grabbed his reading glasses and squinted at the tiny, blurred detail. The paper displayed a long string of randomly generated letters and numbers.
Unveiling the Hidden Threat
He typed the visible sequence from the photograph directly into the command prompt. The laptop screen flickered violently before granting him full administrative access. The encrypted drive contained dozens of highly organized, deeply disturbing surveillance folders. Arthur clicked the first folder, feeling a wave of intense nausea hit his stomach. The files contained thousands of unauthorized photographs documenting his daily routine. The stalker tracked his morning commute, his grocery store visits, and his gym schedule. They operated as an invisible ghost haunting his entirely mundane existence.
Another folder contained comprehensive audio recordings of his private phone conversations. Arthur listened to himself discussing boring financial forecasts with various corporate clients. The predator possessed zero interest in his company's generic stock portfolios. They clearly searched for something deeply specific and highly valuable. The final folder on the drive contained a single, massive text document. Arthur opened the file with trembling fingers and read the chilling manifesto. The stalker demanded access to a restricted offshore bank account. They believed Arthur managed the hidden funds for a corrupt political client.
The Error of the Predator
The terrifying reality of the situation crashed over him like a freezing tidal wave. The highly trained predator made a catastrophic, undeniable error in their intelligence gathering. Arthur genuinely worked as a low-level, completely boring financial analyst. He never managed offshore accounts or interacted with corrupt politicians in his life. The stalker targeted the wrong corporate employee at the massive financial firm. The entire psychological nightmare stemmed from a massive clerical error. Nevertheless, the invisible threat remained incredibly real and deeply lethal.
He could not simply call the police and explain the bizarre situation. The authorities would never believe his wild story about swapped cashmere coats and espionage. Furthermore, the stalker clearly possessed the resources to intercept any emergency communications. Arthur sat alone in the silent hotel room, trapped in a deadly game of mistaken identity. He needed to convince the dangerous predator they hunted the wrong asset. He lacked the money and the information they desperately demanded from him.
The Ringing Telephone
The silence in the hotel suite shattered violently at exactly three o'clock in the morning. The standard landline telephone resting on the bedside table began ringing loudly. Arthur jumped out of his chair, his heart hammering against his ribs. Nobody knew his location, and he booked the expensive room under a fake name. He stared at the blinking red light on the hotel phone with pure dread. The ringing echoed relentlessly through the quiet, luxurious space. He slowly walked toward the nightstand and lifted the heavy plastic receiver.
"I hope you enjoyed reviewing the files," a cold, metallic voice stated instantly. The caller used sophisticated software to mask their natural human pitch and tone. Arthur swallowed hard, gripping the phone cord tightly in his sweating hand. "You have the wrong person," he whispered, his voice shaking with genuine fear. The caller laughed a slow, terrifying, and completely humorless laugh. They refused to accept his desperate, honest explanation of the mistaken identity. The stalker believed his denial represented a calculated, stubborn negotiation tactic.
The Ultimatum in the Dark
"You have exactly twenty-four hours to transfer the offshore funds," the voice commanded smoothly. The predator outlined the specific digital routing instructions with chilling, robotic efficiency. They threatened to release heavily doctored financial evidence to the federal authorities if he failed. The framed evidence would guarantee him a lengthy sentence in a maximum-security prison. "We know exactly where you are right now, Arthur," the caller added softly. The threat froze the blood in his veins completely. The man spun around and frantically scanned the dark hotel room.
He checked the locked door and the heavy curtains covering the large windows. The suite remained completely secure and entirely physically isolated. "How did you find this room?" Arthur demanded, his panic escalating into raw anger. The caller disconnected the line immediately, leaving only a hollow dial tone. The analyst slammed the receiver down and paced across the pristine carpet. The stalker bypassed the hotel security and the fake alias effortlessly. Arthur desperately needed to discover the source of their impossible tracking capabilities.
The Secret in the Lining
His dark eyes locked onto the black cashmere garment resting on the bed. The wrong coat represented the only physical link between him and the predator. Arthur grabbed a sharp pair of metal scissors from his leather toiletry bag. He attacked the expensive designer coat with frantic, desperate energy. The man sliced open the heavy silk lining near the deep inner pockets. He tore the luxurious fabric apart, destroying the beautiful garment entirely. A small, black plastic disc fell out of the lining onto the white bedsheets.
The device looked exactly like a standard, generic coat button. However, a tiny red LED light blinked steadily on the smooth plastic surface. The predator sewed a military-grade GPS tracker directly into the swapped coat. They monitored his exact geographical movements from the moment he left the charity gala. Arthur stared at the blinking red light with a mixture of absolute horror and sudden clarity. The stalker used the coat to control him completely. Yet, the tracking device also offered a beautiful, highly dangerous opportunity for escape.
Creating the Perfect Distraction
Arthur quickly formulated a desperate, high-stakes survival plan in the dark. He packed his work laptop and the encrypted titanium drive into his briefcase. He left the ruined cashmere coat and the terrifying polaroid resting on the bed. The analyst picked up the small plastic tracking device with extreme caution. He wrapped the blinking disc in several layers of thick tissue paper. Arthur slipped out of the hotel suite and took the emergency concrete stairs. He avoided the security cameras entirely while exiting through the basement loading dock.
The freezing city rain continued to fall relentlessly on the dark streets. Arthur walked quickly toward the nearest underground subway station. He navigated the empty, echoing tunnels with a singular, desperate focus. A late-night cargo train sat idling on the furthest maintenance track. The analyst threw the wrapped tracking device directly into an open shipping container. The heavy metal train lurched forward suddenly, beginning its long journey across the country. The digital signal traveled far away from his actual physical location.
Vanishing into the Shadows
Arthur watched the red taillights of the cargo train disappear into the dark tunnel. The predator would follow that blinking signal hundreds of miles out of the city. He bought himself a crucial window of absolute, untraceable freedom. The financial analyst walked back up to the rainy street level. He realized he could never return to his previous, boring corporate life. The invisible threat would eventually discover his clever deception and return to hunt him. He needed to vanish completely into the shadows to guarantee his own survival.
He pulled his scarf tightly around his freezing neck and walked away. The city swallowed him whole, hiding his desperate escape perfectly. He carried the encrypted drive, intending to use the surveillance data as future leverage. Arthur learned a terrifying lesson about the fragility of his quiet existence. He survived the night by abandoning everything he previously valued. Ultimately, the deadly mistake at the cloakroom saved his life. The terrifying wrong coat forced him to become a ghost before the predators could turn him into a corpse.
