Blood Thirst: God of War Keeping her safe
Julius left the house with a heavy heart and an even heavier conscience. The front door clicked shut behind him, but her words— “Then I’ll marry you”—echoed in his head like a siren in an empty hallway. He needed space and silence.Miley had proposed marriage.She proposed to help him …help him by marrying him.And it was not just any marriage. A no-obligation, pretend-to-be-his-wife arrangement. That would be Logical, strategic for his current condition..completely safe on paper, making him free from all the obligation.But nothing about it felt safe. Nothing about her-soft, stubborn, golden-hearted Miley-was meant for this world of shadows and backdoor politics, where missions ended in blood and trust could be lethal.He drove with no destination in mind, but his instincts led him to the lake. The moonlight rippled gently across the water, casting silver shadows on the still surface. The place was quiet. Just like he needed. He knew he could stay here for a while before his heart ma
Blood Thirst: God of War Flowers
Miley paced the living room with her arms folded tightly across her chest, her bare feet brushing against the cool floor tiles as the silence of midnight wrapped around her. The clock ticked softly in the background, each second a reminder of Julius’s absence. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, scenarios, and questions she couldn’t shake off.She had tried to stay calm. She’d even convinced herself she didn’t need his answer—she could handle things on her own. But the longer the minutes dragged, the more restless she became.She knew that Julius wasn't going to accept her proposal this easily, but she was ready to convince him, and for that she has already prepared all the arguments that would be required in the future.But the problem was that he didn't even let her complete her words and left her alone without they could even go further in the discussion where he had been hiding the reasons to not marry her on paper.Because if he was ready to find someone for the exact role the
Blood Thirst: God of War Wife
The courthouse doors clicked shut behind them, sealing away the vows they had just exchanged with the kind of quiet finality that felt heavier than expected. Miley clutched the modest bouquet of wildflowers, baby’s breath and pale wild roses, still she was not entirely able to believe they were hers. Her fingers brushed over the petals like a dream she didn’t want to end.“We’re married,” she said, her voice barely louder than a breath.Julius gave a faint nod, glancing sidelong at her. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I was too worried yesterday. I should’ve gotten you real flowers.”Miley blinked at him. “These are real flowers.”He gave a small huff of amusement. “You know what I mean.”She did. And yet, the idea of him stepping off the sidewalk to pick them just for her made them more precious than a florist’s bouquet ever could be.But she could not tell him that , yet, even though she really wanted to scream this from the top of her lungs that no flower, no bouquet in the entire world co
Blood Thirst: God of War He cares!
The house was quieter than usual that evening. No television murmuring in the background, no kettle hissing on the stove. Just the soft shuffle of footsteps and the occasional creak of wood as Miley moved about the living room, placing her wildflower bouquet in a simple glass vase. The cream and blush petals looked delicate, a quiet contrast to the stormy day they’d had.Julius stood nearby, loosening the tie around his neck, his jacket already slung across the armrest of the couch. He watched her without speaking, a subtle intensity in his gaze. It wasn’t just her dress or the curve of her smile. It was the way she moved careful, yet completely unafraid. Still here. Still his… somehow.“You’re awfully quiet for someone who just got married,” Miley teased softly, glancing over her shoulder.He exhaled through his nose, the corner of his mouth tilting. “I’m still letting that part sink in.”She turned to face him, her fingers twining in front of her. “Regretting it already?”His eyes s
Blood Thirst: God of War Dangerous world
The morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the estate, casting golden streaks across the wooden floor. Miley was still in bed when the scent of roses hit her nose, dozens of them. She blinked, stretched, and sat up, only to gasp.The entire living room had been transformed. Roses in hues of red, pink, and white were everywhere bundles on tables, bouquets in vases, and petals scattered across the floor like confetti from a royal celebration. Gifts in ornate wrappings adorned the foyer. Beside one of the larger flower stands stood a note with an elegant golden seal.Julius, who had just finished his morning black coffee, picked up the card and frowned. “Duke of Glamorgan,” he murmured.Miley peered over his shoulder, reading aloud, “To the newlyweds—my blessings and warmest congratulations. Miley is like a daughter to me. I couldn’t be happier. I've arranged a private dinner for the two of you tonight. Wear something fitting.”Julius sighed and rubbed his temple. “I have
Blood Thirst: God of War Uncertainty
The next evening, Miley sat at her desk, surrounded by stacks of financial reports. The Duke’s company finances were far more complex than she had anticipated, and merging them with her own accounts was proving to be a tedious task. She rubbed her temples, willing the numbers to make sense. The dim glow of her desk lamp cast long shadows across the room, the only sign of life in the otherwise silent office. A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. Before she could respond, a young man named Lorence sauntered into the office, he was one of the junior accountants. He leaned against her desk with an easy smirk, as if they were old friends. His tailored suit was too expensive for his position, his cufflinks gleaming under the light. “You look like you could use some help,” he said, his voice dripping with false concern. “I’ve got nothing but time. You can take any help from me, anytime. I’ll be of use.” His emphasis on the last word made her skin crawl. Miley didn’t even glanc
Blood Thirst: God of War Gifts
By the time Miley made it to the second office that afternoon, the weight of the exhaustion of the day was already pressing on her temples. Meetings, invoices, forecasts, it had been relentless for a long day like today. She stepped into the open-plan space and offered a polite nod to the staff as she made her way to her desk.But her tired eyes widened slightly at the sight waiting for her.A tall bouquet of deep red roses sat in the middle of her workspace, arranged with precision and wrapped in silk ribbon. For a brief second, a small smile crept onto her face,until she leaned in and read the attached card.“For the most hardworking woman in this building. A little something to brighten your day. – Lorence”The smile vanished. He was the last person she would expect a bouquet from.She stood up so fast her chair scraped loudly across the tiled floor, making everyone's heads turn towards her. Everyone knew Lorence was charming, arrogant, the son of a wealthy businessman who played
Blood Thirst: God of War Stray Dog
Miley turned sharply, her eyes completely blazing. The crushed card in her hand crackled with her grip.“Is this nonsense from you?” she snapped, stalking toward Lorence, who stood with arms folded and a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.Lorence, who had been just as dumbfounded as the others moments ago, blinked. “Wait, what?”She raised the card. “The cars. The gifts. The roses. Are you behind this circus?”He opened his mouth to say no, because, truly, even he was not sure. But then the thought struck him. Who else could pull this off? His father, Grant Voss, was the wealthiest man in the city, and he would personally come down just a few days ago to Miley’s office, furious and embarrassed at Lorence’s behavior. Maybe this was his father’s way of fixing things. Trying to win Miley over with what amounted to a modern-day dowry.Lorence’s lips curved into a slow, lazy smile. “Do you like them?”Miley stared at him in disbelief.“No,” she hissed, crumpling the card and tossing it t

Not safe
Miley did not remember how much time had passed since they had arrived there, everything was going fine till the power cut out happened without warning. One moment, the safehouse hummed quietly with energy, and the next, darkness fell like a heavy curtain. Miley froze mid-step. She was always afraid of the darkness and Julius was also aware of this.“Backup generator?” she asked in urgency.Julius was already moving, lighting a match and touching it to a candle. One flame flared, then another. Shadows bloomed and stretched along the concrete walls, flickering like silent ghosts.“It’s manual override,” he muttered. “Which means someone’s probing the system.”He moved stiffly. Only then did Miley notice the dark stain spreading across the side of his shirt. Her breath caught.“You’re hurt.”“It’s nothing.”“Let me see it.”“No.”But Julius winced when he peeled the shirt off, and the candlelight revealed the gash…angry and red, sliced across his side. It was not too deep, but it was r
Aim
The safehouse had no corners to escape to. Every wall felt like it was closing in on her. The air, cool and dry, pressed against Miley’s skin like a second, suffocating layer. She had wanted this—wanted to be close to him, to share space with him, to not be left behind.But now that they were here, sharing the same walls, the same oxygen, the weight of proximity felt unbearable.Everything was getting on her nerves , everything was making her anxious, make her extremely unable to control her emotions, as it was already not enough that everytime she has been seeing Julius she was getting butterflies in her stomach already that, now she has to witness his care from the closest proximity possible and keep it hidden because of the tensed situation they were going through.Thinking this she was walking towards the bed.But the next moment she tripped over a belt of ammo near the foot of the bed and cursed under her breath. Julius did not say a word. He simply looked at her from where he sa
Survival
The safehouse was carved into the mountainside, invisible to the eye unless you knew exactly where to look. A thick steel door sealed them inside, followed by a pressure-lock corridor that scanned their vitals as they passed. Miley flinched when a beam of light swept over her eyes, but Julius barely reacted.“Security layer. Measures vitals, heat signatures,” he said. “It will prepare medkits if anything’s off.”The main room was minimalist..cold stone walls, reinforced by metal panels, a compact kitchenette, one small table, and a bank of screens tucked into a recessed alcove. There was only one bedroom, a narrow hallway leading to it. The cot inside was clean but spartan. A single dresser. But there were no windows.Miley wandered while Julius ran diagnostics. The silence pressed in, broken only by soft beeps from his console. She moved toward the far wall, noticing a slight variation in the paneling. She touched it. A soft click responded. The panel hissed open, revealing a concea
Scared
Miley questioned the need for secrecy, her voice low but firm, it was not the answer that she was expecting. “You did not tell me where we were coming, now don't you trust me to tell me where exactly we are…and most importantly why this place is like this ?”Julius did not look at her. His hands gripped the wheel, as he was cleaning it, while turning it in circular motion with full force, and suddenly the electricity sparks making the entire place lit with the yellow bulbs, his knuckles becoming white because of the cold and the force. “I am sorry Miley, but I can not lose you to carelessness, the less you know about anything, the safer you would be” he growled, the finality in his tone closing the door on any further argument.She remembered how they had left under the cover of night, the hum of the engine blending into the darkness that swallowed them whole. How the city lights dwindled behind them, replaced by stretches of empty road. The silence inside the vehicle pressed dow
Packing bags
Everything was going extremely opposite in her life, everything was ready to reach the rock bottom, but still she wasn't afraid.She knows that there was an active threat on her life and she should be afraid of it, but her belief in Julius was making her so strong that she was not worried about anything anymore.She knows that till Julius is by her side he would not let anything happen to her in any circumstance and that was why she was finally becoming calm and was sipping her coffee.The phone rang just as Miley was finishing her coffee. Its sharp tone echoed across the high-ceilinged drawing room of Julius’s mansion, slicing through the still morning air like a knife. She frowned because it was her mother’s number.Except it wasn’t a normal call. It was routed through three emergency channels, encrypted and re-routed via satellite pingbacks. That alone made her stomach twist.She answered immediately. “Mom?”A panicked voice crackled through the line. “Miley! Oh thank God, you pic
Drone
Miley awoke to the sharp, incessant buzzing of her phone. Disoriented, she blinked against the early light filtering through the curtains and reached blindly for the device on her nightstand. At first, she expected a calendar alert or a routine message from the finance team. But as her vision cleared, her heart began to thud heavily.Dozens of notifications blinked across the screen. News alerts. Encrypted chats. Three missed calls from her assistant, and one message stood out in bold, red encryption: "URGENT. You have been compromised."Frowning, she tapped the link embedded in the message. It took her to a browser she did not even know she had installed a dark web relay portal, black as pitch and crawling with warning symbols. And then she saw it.TARGET PROFILE: MILEY COLTON (ALIAS: NIGHTINGALE)Status: ACTIVE. High-priority asset.Current location: [City Redacted, GPS Coordinates— Pending Confirmation]Known routines, preferred hangouts, vulnerabilities, financial signature, fam
Rented
The luxury gifts were still shimmering in their designated spots, the vintage sports cars with a chrome finish, stacks of designer items, and flower arrangements worth a fortune.And as the crowd was about to shift completely against Lorence, he suddenly scream at the top of his lungs while laughing out loud;Ohh my God! I never knew that someone could be this useless too!! Like just to prove yourself as a worthy person, you have spent your wife's hard earned money in renting these fake gifts and the vintage cares! Do you even know how hard it is to make money? Or a freeloader like you only know how to spend it?Because I know it clearly a man like you can't even afford the chrome finish of this car.Lorence's words once again gave the blow to the dying fire and people started to murmur again, as the possibility of renting those things suddenly started to make sense, instead of buying them, because how can a man, dressed in completely simple clothes, afford all of that.And if he did
Wedding gift
Lorence hesitated, only for a breath, but it wasn't long enough for someone to notice.“Why should I entertain your little drama?” he snapped, then pointed abruptly toward Miley. “And what about her, huh? She’s the real reason we are even talking. A woman like her, who should be compared to a Goddess…this elegant, capable, stunning woman, does not belong with someone like you, who does not even provide her the basic necessities, let alone the luxuries!”He stalked toward Miley with practiced charm in his voice.“She deserves a man who does not lie. Who does not humiliate her with cheap stunts like this just to make himself look good.”Miley’s eyes narrowed, but she stayed rooted in place.“I mean, look at her,” Lorence continued. “She walks like a queen and talks like one. You think you can match her presence by flinging a couple of fake gifts around and hoping we are all stupid enough to buy it?”Lorence’s words made the way for more murmurs. As few people standing there had a few n
Finger print
As Lorence mocks him for being poor, Julius simply tilts his head, his voice was extremely cold but it was still calm. “Are you sure you brought all of this?”The crowd became quiet.Lorence’s smirk twitches. “What does that supposed to mean?”Julius steps forward. “You are proudly claiming credit for gifts you did not even know were arriving today.”Lorence scoffs. “Do not tell me you think you did all this , two vintage cars, designer boxes, custom packaging?” He lets out a dry laugh while continuing further. “Please. You could not afford the chrome finish on the door handles.”Julius lets the words settle first and waited him to finish, then adds:“You talk loud for someone who does not know what his own father is doing behind his back.”Now everyone is paying attention again, as this was something going to be a very interesting gossip, as by now they had stopped listening to them thinking that they were busy in some love rivalry drama, but now it was complete politics and the g
