Haven't heard of WHISPER? Check it out!
“Lengard is a secret government facility for extraordinary people,” they told me.
I believed them. That was my mistake.
There isn’t anyone else in the world like me.
I’m different. I’m an anomaly. I’m a monster.
For two years, six months, fourteen days, eleven hours and sixteen minutes, Subject Six-Eight-Four — ‘Jane Doe’ — has been locked away and experimented on, without uttering a single word.
As Jane’s resolve begins to crack under the influence of her new — and unexpectedly kind — evaluator, she uncovers the truth about Lengard’s mysterious ‘program’, discovering that her own secret is at the heart of a sinister plot … and one wrong move, one wrong word, could change the world.
Now on to the excerpt!
From Chapter 2
He sits facing me, casually resting on the only piece of furniture: a couch that looks even more comfortable than the chair in Falon’s office. I want to sink into it without delay, but I don’t. I don’t move at all, in fact, not even when I sense the guards leaving and hear the door slide closed behind me. It takes every ounce of my willpower to remain impassive as I study the person in front of me.
This can’t be Ward.
I’d assumed he’d be middle-aged, like Falon, Vanik and Manning. He can’t be more than a year or two older than me, about Enzo’s age. But Enzo’s limited years make sense; his job requires physical fitness and little else. Age doesn’t matter. Ward’s position, however ...
Maybe he doesn’t need to have the wisdom, knowledge and experience of years behind him for whatever he plans to do with me.
“Would you like to have a seat?”
He motions to the space on the couch beside him. It’s not an order; he’s giving me a choice.
I can’t remember the last time someone gave me a choice. It was before I arrived at Lengard, that much I know.
“I don’t bite,” he adds.
Seeing my hesitation, he even throws in a crooked smile, a single dimple indenting the tanned skin of his left cheek. But as teasing as that dimple is, my gaze is focused on his eyes. I’ve never seen such a bright green. Falon’s sapphire shirt was dull in comparison.
When I continue to remain frozen in place, he rises to his feet, and I struggle not to stare. Golden hair, broad shoulders, narrow hips, long lean legs. Everything about his body is strong, hard, intimidating. But at the same time, his expression is soft, warm, inviting. I have the strange desire to run toward him — and away from him.
