Dove's POV

I heard the doorbell ring, even though I knew Twilight would probably open the door. But since it's my place, the guest must be someone either I know or my father knows. So I went out, only to find Twilight talking to a man.

"This is Dove Stanley's house right?" The man asked. His voice sounded oddly familiar.

"Yeah, it is. I'm sorry, but you are?" Twilight asked.

"One of Mr. Stanley's associates, I have work with Dove actually," he said. I stood beside Twilight only to realize that the man standing in front of us was none other than Snow White in disguise. His scar was covered with probable cosmetics, and he was wearing dark shades. I won't have recognized him if it wasn't for his snow-white hair which was visible underneath his hat.

"Miss Stanley, I'm Brian Martinez. I worked with your father, but ever since your father got arrested I am given the responsibility for all the property paperwork that he has. I would appreciate it if you sign these papers, and take these properties under your care," he said.

"Come on in, Mr. Martinez," I said. He nodded and got in.

"Please call me, Brian," he said. I nodded.

"We should go to my old man's study room," I said. Snow White nodded.

"You guys want me to prepare anything to drink for you?" Twilight asked.

"There is no need, Mr...?" Snow White asked. He knows who Twilight is though.

"Twilight Harris," Twilight introduced himself.

"Mr. Harris, there is no need. But if Ma'am would like anything..." he looked at me.

"I'm good," I said. "Bunny, you can go to work if you like. I have a day off anyway so I can do all the house chores."

Twilight nodded.

"I'll get going then," Twilight said.

Both Snow White, and I went to my father's study room. It was not some property documents, I know. It's the agreement papers which I asked for.

"Brian Martinez? That's your real name?" I asked as I sat on my father's seat. Snow White took a seat opposite me.

"No, it's just a fake name," he replied. He placed a file on the table.

"So young Mr. Harris lives with you huh?" He asked.

"There were some personal issues..." I said as I picked up the file and opened it. "So these are the terms and conditions huh?"

I read everything present in the file very carefully. Everything made sense— almost everything I mean, except this one thing.

"I can't believe this," I mumbled.

"Believe what?" Snow White asked.

"You will use Twilight and Vinter to blackmail me if I decide to not cooperate with capturing Lucifer. You know very well that these two have got nothing-"

"I'm merely following the orders. Twilight Harris and Vinter Harris are connected with you, and you are not a normal citizen of this country, let's not forget the fact that you are a former juvenile offender for attempted murder. We government officials will use any means to make you cooperate with us. It's nothing personal, Miss Stanley," Snow White spoke calmly.

Maybe joining forces with Snow White was a mistake. I never wanted Twilight or Vinter to get involved in this, but my actions are only making things worse and worse. But there is no going back now, if I want to fix everything I will have to shake hands with the devil.

"These are the conditions in our favor, and on the next page are the conditions in your favor. My superiors have already signed and added a stamp to it so you don't have to fear anything. While you work with us, we guarantee you complete safety."

I turned the page and saw another document with a stamp and signature on it. Since it is done by the government I won't be suspecting much, but I will get a copy of these documents so if they decide to betray me I can turn the tables around.

"I'll make a copy of these two give me a moment," Snow White nodded as I scanned the documents in my mobile phone and proceeded to make a copy of them in my printer. It was important to scan the original one first. I need to be prepared for everything.

Other than that the reason I decided to do this entire meeting in my old man's study room is cause there are hidden cameras in here, and access to all of its data is in my hands. So I can always frame Snow White as a fraud in the future if anything happens. Though the man is smart to show up at my place in disguise, our conversation is still recorded so nothing to worry about.

"Well, here you go," I handed him the documents back after signing them. He placed them in the file again and got up.

"So, we have a deal now Miss Stanley," he extended his hand. I took his hand and shook it.

"It's a deal, Snow White," I replied. He smiled and nodded.

"I'll be leaving then. I believe we'll meet up again when Nina Robbins will be under our custody," he said. I nodded.

"Hope that happens soon so I can help you arrest Lucifer soon as well," I said. He nodded, and he left.

After Snow White was gone I did all the house chores of the day. I didn't bother preparing any meals cause I know I'm not exactly an expert at cooking. I guess I'll let Twilight deal with meals.

Before Twilight lived with me, I used to order food, or I can go on without eating for a day or two. It's not exactly a big deal to me. But ever since Twilight has been here, he has taken over the kitchen.

I heard the doorbell, so I went to open the door. Instead of getting greeted by Twilight's beautiful smile, I got greeted by my best friend's scowling face.

"Haze!" I greeted cheerfully. But she gave me an 'are-you-kidding-me' look which made me chuckle.

"What?" I asked. She walked in.

"I saw a man going out of your house a few times this week. Who is that man?" She asked.

"Twilight," I replied.

"He's been living here or what?" She asked.

"Yeah, he is-"

"You never tell me anything, Dove. Am I even your best friend?" She asked.

"Of course, you are, Haze. I just didn't feel like it would be a big of a deal to tell you about every trivial matter," I stated.

"Trivial matter? My best friend is living with a man! It's not a trivial matter, Dove. You were never really someone who would date, and now here you are having a serious relationship, and letting that man move in with you. Don't you think you should let me witness your growth once in a while?" She asked.

"I'm sorry," I apologized. She's right in a way. But I can't involve her in my life more than this, unfortunately. I'm not the same person that I used to be before I was sent to the juvenile center. I'm now someone who is affiliated with one of the biggest criminal organizations in the country, and now I'm working for the government as well.

"Kitten why is the front- oh!" Our conversation got interrupted by a very confused Twilight, who was looking at me and Haze back and forth.

"Bunny, hi! Welcome home!" I got up and went to my boyfriend. I pecked his lips and turned to Haze.

"Haze, this is Twilight Harris, and bunny this is Haze Dean, my childhood best friend," I introduced them to one another.

"It's so good to finally meet you, Twilight," Haze extended her hand for a handshake. Twilight took her hand and shook it with a smile.

"It's good to meet you too, Haze," Twilight said.

"You look just like Vinter," Haze said. I raised my eyebrows.

"I do?!" Twilight exclaimed. He's surprised of course cause I highly doubt anyone has ever observed the resemblance between the two brothers. There are not many resembling characteristics between them, but their facial structure does resemble at some point.

"Why are you surprised? I thought you must have gotten that a lot," Haze said. Twilight shook his head.

"Never actually," Twilight said scratching the back of his neck.

"Well people suck at observing then," Haze commented which I agreed to.

"Why don't you stay for dinner? Twilight cooks very well!" I offered.

"Yeah, you should stay! I want to hear all about Dove's embarrassing childhood stories-"

"Haze won't dare to, right love?" I asked sweetly looking at Haze. She gave me an equally sweet smile.

"Don't worry Twilight, I'm telling you everything," she said. I stared at her in disbelief. Well, my warning glares don't work on everyone I guess.

The dinner table was filled with waves of laughter and my embarrassing moments which Haze spilled in front of my boyfriend. Of course, embarrassment isn't an emotion I feel that strongly so it was fine by me. I had fun seeing them getting along knowing how both of them have a hard time trusting people. But luckily they trusted each other maybe cause I trust them, and they know.

After dinner Haze went back home, while Twilight and I were doing the dishes.

"Hey, bunny?" I asked. He hummed in response.

"I have some work to do for my old man, so I will be gone for a few days. Is that okay with you?" I asked.

"Of course, kitten. You don't have to ask for my permission! You can do whatever you want to. Where exactly are you going?" He asked.

"There's this land my old man owned so I have to take a look at it and talk about it to the estate agency," I said. He hummed.

"When are you going?" He asked.

"Tomorrow or the day after that," I replied. He nodded.

"Well I'll take care of the house while you'll be gone, so don't worry too much."

"House? Bunny, I'm worried about you not the damned house," I said. He placed the dishes down and wiped his hands. He stepped closer to me and picked me up making me sit on the kitchen counter. He leaned in closer with a smirk making my breathing hitch.

"I'm three years older than you, princess. Watched this world three years more than you, so stop playing the role of the woman older than me and get your ass where you are supposed to go," he whispered in my ears. I felt goosebumps when he proceeded to lick my neck. I held in a moan, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of my submission. I let out a shaky breath.

"Tw-Twilight..." I stuttered, which seemed more like a moan. I could feel his smile growing as he continued to kiss my neck.

He looked at me with a smirk, his expressions were so lewd. I realized he's getting good at teasing me these days. He caught my lips with his and forced his tongue inside my mouth which made me whine.
Suddenly he pulled me down and spanked my ass.

"Focus on what's important instead of worrying about me all the time, princess," he winked at me and went away laughing. He was probably laughing at the fact that how he got me there, his dominant side always takes me off-guard. And before I can react to it, he always goes back to being his playful self. This man is a very odd combination of cute and manly.

I shook my head and dialed Micah's number. I was told not to tell Micah about what might have happened to her mother and I won't tell her of course. Because even I don't know exactly if Bethany is dead or alive.

"Yo bitch!" Micah said.

"Hello to you too, Micah," I replied sarcastically. She chuckled.

"What's up?" She asked.

"You got a car right?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" She asked.

"Mind lending it to me for a few days?" I asked.

"Yeah okay, but bring it back to me in one piece, okay?" She said.

"You know I'm a great driver, right? Don't worry about it," I told her.

Now that the transportation facility is available I might as well leave for my quest to break the soulmate bond tomorrow by itself. I lied to Twilight, and I will lie to almost everyone about where I'm going because I know they will all try to stop me from leaving or breaking the bond. I don't want anyone making any decisions for me.
