She had been planning for this moment for the past four months and a half now, picking up the white clutch bag, she gently tapped Seb who turned to her with a stern expression morphing into a loving one
"I need to use the restroom" she whispered
"Be quick, we are going to the stage soon" Audrey nodded gently and walked out of the large hall towards the restroom but took a sudden turn and made for the stairs beside the restroom door.
She started to run, skipping steps, her heart pounding hard, she pulled out the bobbin pins holding her hair, letting the shinning copper hair out of its restraint, she quickly zipped down the black dinner dress exposing the white and pink short sleeveless jumpsuit she had under, her appearance has completely changed except for her hair colour, a distinct feature she couldn't get rid of.
Running down to the ground floor from the fifth floor seems too much but not for Audrey. By the time she reached the ground floor, she could already hear the commotion going on as she reached the end of the stairs, she opened the clutch and pulled out a black device that looked like a phone, typing in a few codes, all the elevators in the building were locked.
Knowing they would use the stairs, she quickly made for the door, heels have always been comfortable for her due to her height, she always had heels on to make herself look taller, and she was running perfectly well in her platform heels.
A black sleek car was already waiting at the back of the building, She got in immediately and it zoomed off.....
Audrey smiled as the large hotel turned into a tiny dot in the rear mirror, no car was after them obviously, her smile got wider as her heart also pounded harder.
"Jordan, I'm coming home"
**A YEAR AGO**
"Boss, she was found in Hillway, a secluded house at the end of the city" a deep voice reports
The scarred face morphed into a triumphant smile, his unequal detention out in full display as he smiled widely.
"No mistake will be forgiven this time" The scared face replied and dropped the call.
"Finally got you, Computer Doll" George Fredrik, leader of Raiders declared happily.
Audrey Nathan is like the world's most precious tool for Mafias, she could break into any defence against their internet access and also build a wall that's impossible to crack, so Mafia organisations refer to a precious tool as she could help them get into their rival's computers, dig up their secrets to use against them.

Audrey was dyeing her hair purple, her eyes not leaving the small screen in front of her, the Chinese show playing on it was at the climax and she wouldn't want to watch it later.
She knew some people were after her, they've always been, she paused the movie to check her work in the mirror, dyeing her hair has been a routine, a way to keep her life as hers for a few more days.
Reluctant to leave her movie, she quickly got into the shower to wash out the remnant of the dye, feeling so tired after all the work, it's not easy maintaining such thick and long curls that she always altered alteredolour, it was a miracle her hair is still so healthy.
She ordered a single-serving pizza and some hot chicken wings and dried her hair while waiting.
That's how Audrey spends her day after moving.....
****
The thrusts were hard, just as the busty blonde under him demanded, Jordan groaned hard as he released into the condom, he pulled out not caring if the blonde hit her release, he pulled his sweatpants up and trailed off to the en suite bathroom, not caring about the whining woman he left on the bed.
The blonde knew better than to let him meet her there on his return, she quickly got up, put on her dress and scampered out with her shoes and bag in her hand.
Jordan came back his thick black curls dripping wet, he held a dryer in his left hand his left hand holding a phone, and scrolled through his message absentmindedly until one caught his attention.
"Mission 001
Object spotted close by" a report from Allen can't be dismissed.
A strange expression made its way to Jordan's face, he was gambling a big risk but it's worth it if it goes his way.
"Move as planned" he replied and dropped the phone to focus on drying his hair.
***
Audrey put on a white and purple milkmaid dress that stop stopped above her knees, a long black Jacket the same length as her dress, her now purple her in a high ponytail, and her favourite type of heels, Naked Wolf platform heels to match and a lilac bag, she was going to the physical school like every normal college students to get her results, she had just completed her online studies as a cyber security student and was going to claim her result, she had to go without any disguise, well except her hair.
Her Uber driver already waiting for her at the parking lot, she got in and the car zoomed off, aware of eyes watching her with curiosity.
****
"Boss, ...we... Missed h...."
" Again! Don't fvcking come back without her!" George Fredrik yelled into the phone before the call disconnected. He was breathing hard in anger, just when he thought he had won!
He picked up the phone and called a number.
"Kill the Boy... He should be at school now, make it neat" he ordered into the phone, the person on the call already got the full message.
A Billionaire family recently disagreed with Lone Wolves, he ordered to kill the Family Leader's favourite grandchild to cause misunderstanding.
If he, George Fredrik is not happy, his enemy can't be......
****
Audrey got back to her condo with her certificate, she wondered if she would ever be able to live like a normal growing lady, when she would walk around like every normal person without worrying about those Wolves pouncing on her, without having to alter her appearance every time she changed her location.
Thinking about it, this is the first time in a while she's walking about in her natural face, she felt bored just sitting and doing nothing, the unnamed person she used to play the game of ' build and destroy ' with has been ghosting her for a while now, and she was not in the mood to hack some secret files off some dangerous organisation's web to mess with them.
' shopping!'
***
Ethan Lincoln knew some people were after him, he quickly thought of the best place to go before he could request backup from his grandfather.
He swerved into the Mall parking lot and hurried out of the car, he ran straight into the female clothing section, his face had a calm expression but he was scared inside, his panic attack was about to kick in, and his vision blurred with tears, a strick of purple flashed his eyes as warm soft fingers laced around his wrist, he felt a pull before he could fall into full panic attack...
" In"
"Out"
" ..in.."
" Out"
" In"
"..out.."
His breathing finally steadied, Ethan slowly breathed out and pried his eyes open to meet the most beautiful pair of light blue orbs staring at him intently, the lashes looked so unreal but real at the same time, Little button nose and wet plump lips with the lower one in between two rows of perfect dental.
"Beautiful...." Ethan found himself murmuring in a daze.
"Are you okay now?" The ethereal beauty spoke, her voice sounding too young not matching her matured looking body, it was then he realised that the soft warm feeling on his arm was her perky boobs, he quickly moved away, a faint blush staining his face.
"You are a weird one, running into the female section and falling into a panic attack, who asked you to come here or can't you read?" One wouldn't want to take her seriously with such a voice and her adorable facial expression.
"I'm sorry ma, I am actually...." Ethan's eyes widened as he heard some sounds, Audrey already mirrored his expression.
"Gunshot!" Audrey whispered, yelling like she was watching some action movie.
"Are they here for you?" She asked.
"Yes, do you have a phone with you?" Ethan had his phone but he was sure he was being tagged, any call from him would be used to track his location.
Audrey eyed him suspiciously, wondering if that was another trick to get her, and pulled out one of her burner phones.
"Here" she handed him the phone after unlocking it.
Ethan quickly dialled his grandfather's number and the old man picked on the third ring.
"Papa, they are here again, I'm at Manny Mall," he said into the phone immediately after the old man picked up.
" My child! Grandpa will come and save you now"
"No, Papa! Just send Allen's team, and I will be fine with them, you take of yourself and wait for me"
"Alright alright, be safe okay, do you have any of those tools on you, use them when necessary!"
Ethan quickly disconnected the call worried that they were being listened to.
"Don't worry, they can't listen to your call, we just have to make sure we leave here safely, I'm still young and I don't know what kissing feels like yet " Audrey sassed before pulling him up, it was then noticed her height even with the five inches heels she was still an inch and half under his chin, she didn't let go of his arm, rather pulled him towards a door.
"Where are we going?"
"A safe place, I have the blueprint of this building already, there's an underground storage around here, we just need to hide there until your Papa sends help" she replied emphasizing the Papa.
One of Audrey's flaws is that she talks a lot there by sharing things that are not meant to be shared on the first meeting, she goes all out and that leaves her open to danger all the time, she's naive, always not learning from her experience that not everyone should be trusted.
Ethan couldn't help but be surprised at how agile she moved in those heavy-looking heels, her purple hair swaying as she walked in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but lower to her boobs again, he quickly looked away as sinful thoughts crawled into his head.
Not now, Ethan, you are in danger! He scolded himself internally.
They stopped in front of a wall, heavy footsteps were getting closer, Audrey pulled out her device and did her magic, a beep sound and the wall moved.
"We are going to run in as fast as possible, I opened it for ten seconds, so get ready " This time around Ethan couldn't delve into how adorable it was to see her looking so serious, he got ready immediately after the wall paved way, they both run in just when the five armed men got there, Audrey quickly tapped her device as fast as always and the wall went back to its original position like it never moved.
The men look around not seeing anyone, frustrated they shoot around destroying the clothes there in annoyance, they fail two missions at a time, and their Boss definitely won't spare them.
Meanwhile.....
Audrey and Ethan were practically glued together, the space was two tomorrow for two people, though Audrey was on the smaller side, boobs and butts were thick, really thick to fill up any available space between them.
" The button should be there, find it and stop rubbing my butts!" Audrey scolded in annoyance, she couldn't operate her device in such a narrow space but the button should open the door to the underground storage.
Ethan was dying of embarrassment as Audrey's breasts were squelched between them and he has to feel around to find the button to get them out of the tiny space, his hand has been brushing her butts for a while now, his heart beating wildly, he wondered if he wouldn't die of a heart attack before help comes......
Beep!!
Ethan suddenly felt the wall behind him disappearing, he fell with Audrey on him, and the back of his head throbbed, Audrey scrambled up, her ponytail had snapped and her hair was all over her face, pooling around her face like a purple lake.
"You fool! Big fool! Why did I help such a pervert!" Audrey scolded angrily brushing her hair out of her face in annoyance, her scowl couldn't be taken seriously, and Ethan couldn't help but chuckle despite his pain.

11:06 pm
"We have been for five to six hours! What are your Alien team doing?!" Audrey's frustrated voice broke the eerie silence, she was starving, they lay on the fabrics found in the storage room.
"Allen team" Ethan corrected tiredly, Audrey sat up, glaring at him.
"Whatever you call them, I'm starving! It's your fault I'm in this mess!"
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this. But what if they have been looking for us, we should leave this place" Ethan also sat up.
"I don't want to run into those villains again!"
"They should be gone by now "
***
The dressing room was empty as Ethan had expected, they slowly walked out to the isle of destroyed clothes.
"Young master!" Someone called, and they both turned towards the voice.
"Allen " Ethan replied, a relief smile breaking onto his face.
Audrey's hold suddenly tightens on her tote bag's hand, she recognise the face anywhere, that night......
Ten years old Audrey lying on her mother's arm, her body already cold just like her father's, Audrey knew they wouldn't wake up again, she knew that would be the last time in her mother's arms so she stayed still...
"The child seems to be breathing," a voice said, sparkling black orbs came into view, only his eyes were visible, but the man behind him, face was visible, his young face morphed into a slightly worried one as he watched the masked person pick her up, Audrey whimpered slightly when her wound was pressed on, the masked young man gently caresses her curls
"Shush ..... You will be fine"
Those were the only words he said to her before she had blacked out, and when she woke up, he wasn't there, he never came back, not even Allen did, she was taken to an institution where she grew up with a new identity due to claiming to have forgotten everything, she made her plans and finally ran away at the age of fifteen, the name COMPUTER DOLL was already all over by then, she had made her move on the few enemies she knew well but not the hidden ones whom she's still looking for till that day.
Audrey could feel tears threatening to pour out but she forced them back, she only had to go with them maybe she would meet Him......
"This is...." It was then Ethan realised they both didn't know each other names, Audrey took a quick deep to steady her wavering emotions.
"Audrey... Joe"
"Audrey, she helped me hide from the men" Ethan completed his statement with an embarrassed smile.
"Thank you" Allen bowed stiffly towards her direction.
"You are welcome" she replied, her mind quickly calculating how she would go with them to be able to meet him.
"Come on, we will drive you home" Ethan took her hand in his, his heart not wanting to let go, the moment they had spent together glued in his memories, her packets of chocolates they shared in the storage room, her innocent face, behaviour and expression like she couldn't be tainted by the world's cruelty.
If only he knew...
"You owe me" Audrey spoke up once they got to the red wrangler.
"Of course, I will pay you back for saving my life"
"Who's talking about that, I starved all day because of you and you ate my chocolate, you should pay that back and treat me to a good dinner" Audrey declared.
"Alright alright, that's no problem. You won't mind staying the night at my house right?"
"Of course" Ethan agreed without doubt and her into the Jeep as it was too high for her.
****
Lincoln Villa
"Wow! This is so pretty" Audrey could be seen fawning at the garden of purple hibiscus flowers around the fountain in the middle of the villa, those flowers defied her attention the moment she got down from the Jeep.
"Yeah, we can come back later, I have to go meet Grandpa to assure him that I'm fine now" Ethan urged her again.
"O..Kay"
The old man, Lincoln was sitting on a custom-made Wheelchair, his expression softening at the sight of his beloved grandson.
"My little child" Ethan ran into his opened arm, Audrey stood aside watching the reunion with a cringed expression on his face.
"Thank God you are fine, I told you that you need bodyguards but you refuse, those bastards are trying to get to me through you!"
"I'm sorry Papa, I will listen to you now"
"Better! You little brat, you even got a girlfriend friend in a dangerous situation" Grandpa Lincoln eased the atmosphere with his last words.
"Ah ... Papa! She's my saviour, not my girlfriend! Her name is Audrey Joe"
"Audrey, thank you for saving my little child I owe you one"
"It's no problem, Sir, just that he's such a fool, he needs a good beating" Audrey was mildly disappointed not to see Him but she pushed her thoughts aside and joked with the old man.
Nostalgia, that's the feeling Audrey had during the dinner, the old man reminded her so much of Old Joe, Her eyes followed everyone entering and exiting the dining area, and her ears perked up to catch up any traces of His voice but all that was fruitless.
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom," Audrey said.
Ethan stood and led the way.
"Do you mind if I ask you something"
"Do you have an older brother?"
"No, I'm the only child of my parents"
"Oh... Then where are your mum and dad?"
"Dead" Ethan's chin dipped into his chest.
"Oh, I'm sorry, didn't mean to remind you"
"It's fine, we are here" Ethan stopped in front of a door.
"Okay, thanks" Audrey walked in and gently closed the door before leaning her back against it.
Is he also a team leader perhaps? Like Allen? But why was his face covered? It would have been easier to find him if she had seen his face, he's younger than Allen, so he can't be Ethan's father, and Ethan affirmed that he had no siblings.
Audrey took in a few breaths to steady herself, assuring herself that everything would be fine, she washed her face and stared at the mirror, she felt around inside her dress for the shorts' pocket took out the eye drops and applied them, closing her eyes for few seconds to get it in.
Colours slowly came back to her eyes, she washed her hand and dried it, making sure her dress was back in place, she quickly put her hair in a simple bun and held it in place with her last ponytail holder.
***
"That girl, are you sure she did all that?" The old man was back to his usual self, old fox, eyes filled with calculation, Ethan nodded.
"She's the one" the old man declared.
"The one?" Ethan asked confused.
"You... Let her stay the night, try to get close to her" The old fox never leaves his old ways, he quickly made a plan.
"But why? She saved me, Papa, Don't do anything to her!" Ethan could already feel his grandfather's eerie aura pulling over.
"I won't just make her stay longer, get to know her better, I think she's a good match for you" the old man quickly put on his jovial expression.
"Papa! She... I don't even know her that much, besides she looks like a minor" Ethan was blushing furiously.
"You little brat! You just turned twenty too, you don't have to rush it, but getting married to her will be good"
Audrey walked in to see the old man smacking Ethan's head.
"Papa!"
"Grandfather, is he being a fool again?" Audrey sat back in her seat, and a plate of cheesecake was immediately placed in front of her.
"You know him too well, you two should be friends, you can help me discipline him a little "
"Don't worry Grandfather, I will surely do that "
"So tell me little girl, how old are you? "
"Papa!" Ethan scolded.
"What? I want to know when she will be ready to have a wedding with you "
"Grandfather, I'm still young, just twenty years old, and Ethan is such a fool, totally not my type " Audrey sassed.
"I'm not a fool! Just a little clueless at times " Ethan defended.
"It's okay, I need to go to bed now " the old man.
Once the old man was out, there was an awkward silence.
"Don't mind Papa, he always wants to get married and have kids before he dies"
"No problem I understand"
"If you are ready, let me take you to your room" Ethan stood up, he still couldn't meet her eyes, and he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
He led her to the guestroom and opened the door.
"I need some clothes to change into if you have any to spare," Audrey said as she got into the room.
"Okay " Ethan closed the door and left her alone, she looked around the room, white, almost everything was white, with few room decors like, a big bed, a bedside table a mini refrigerator and all that, the most attractive things is the frilly chandelier, looking so exquisite.
Audrey took off her clothes and wrapped a towel around her, she was exhausted from the day's experience and it was past midnight by then, she just wanted a cold bath and slept off.....
