Paul, that’s the name, my age is twenty-one, I’m British, I work in the café with this cute sweet girl, she’s so sweet, but lately every time she comes in, there’s a frown on her face. For the last week, she’s came with big red eyes, she’s dragging her feet on the ground, we became good friends. I couldn’t help it, she’s sweet, loving, and filled of life, we just clicked and became friends, she thinks I’m just a college student, but to be honest I’m not even in college, I never went. But she doesn’t need to know that, I’m just here as a cover, I could just drop out of work, but to be honest I’m staying enjoying her company enjoying the company. But seeing her come every day hurt, seeing her red eyes, I had to ask her what’s wrong, what broke her heart, although I had a good idea what happened, her somewhat girlfriend, a hitman.

Elle POV. She haven’t came back yet, I’m waiting for her but she’s not back, I call but the phone is always turned off, it says leave a message, I left one, I left two, I even left ones where I’m screaming and crying for her to come back but no answer, she never called back. Paul my friend, the one who saw me suffer through the week, I stopped bothering with make-up, it’s only doing harm and not much of good, I still look like the dead after putting some of it on my face, I decided to skip most morning. I broke and told him everything, he knew Devil’s work, I didn’t dare to tell, to say she’s a hired killer, she’d kill me for sure if I do that, but he knew, I didn’t know how he knew, I should ask him. But for all now all I care about is him pulling some strings and asking about my Devil, I’d do anything to keep her safe, I just want to know she’s safe, even if she doesn’t want me anymore. Paul took his sweet time getting back to me, every time I asked him, he said it need more time

Nikolai POV. People who work for me are my family, this is a family business, that’s what the old man used to say, the guy I called pop, that’s my grandpa, I’m his only boy grandson, his only grandson really, and so I took over the work, I became the boss after him. But unlike the old man, I do count everyone as my family, every single one of them, I’m not picky about the blood, what I’m picky about is their loyalties, some like Angelo they are in because they are my family and they had to be in, but others, they are hand picked by me, I have their loyalties, I know they would give their lives for me. But I also would kick their asses when they mess up, when they need it, and believe when I say sometimes they do need it. Paul was one of my best mans, after Marco of course, he’s younger, he had a crazy upbringing, a boxer at a younger age, almost dead, but now he belongs to my family, and him messing up again, he deserved a good punishment, one that would get him to fix his acts.

Elle POV. Paul’s boss is the same guy from the Café, the one from the old diner, Paul’s boss is a mafia boss, but that means Paul is also into the mafia, that scared me, but in same time made me feel better, he can help me get Devil back. Paul and the guy went to have a private talk, probably talking if they need to kick me out or help me, I was hoping for help. There were other people in the house, the smell of food was filling the place, some were joking others were laughing, but everyone did a double take at me, making me blush, I never loved being the center of attention, only Devil’s attention, not everyone. It’s why I always preferred books over human interaction, that and coffee, coffee is always number one. After too long of me standing there like a human plant, Paul and the guy came back, the other guy had a smile on his face, but Paul didn’t look as happy, he looked worried. I looked at Paul what do we do now?“Why don’t we sit down and have dinner first, Paul, invite our

Nikolai POV. I couldn’t sleep, I was planning on how to save Devil, who’d thought after all that I’ll be the one saving the hitman with no loyalties, but to have my chance with Elle. Elle I could just taste her name, French origin, meaning her, it’s beautiful. It matches her perfectly, but for now, I had to focus on work, for now me, Paul, Marco and some of my most trusted man are in my office we are planning how to save Devil and get the princess home. Around five-ish, Paul received a call, she agreed, she took the deal, and she’s going to be mine now.

Devil won’t be moved until the night, it’s better to keep a low profile while moving a total psycho from one place to another secure location. Paul couldn’t get the location, but we knew the time and the car they are driving, if my connection are corr

Devil POV.Oh god I hate the Irish, they are bad employee, too sloppy, not enough information, and un-trustable, and that’s my friends is exactly why I didn’t work for them, I worked against them. But joke on me, my mission was compromised, and I’m sad to say I was caught. I wasn’t thinking about me in that moment, I didn’t really care about me, what I was really worried about was Elle, I promised to come home to her, to explain things. She was worried I didn’t like her anymore, I could see that in her eyes when she looked at me, she was scared I’d give her up. I’d give my left kidney over for her, well my right one too, I’d give my whole life for her, after the four months were over and she agreed on staying with me, I was so happy, my life changed then, to the better. But now these jerks are ruining my only chance of happiness, they’ll kill me and break her little heart, I need to get away, and I need to do so soon. I tried to sweet talk them, to promise them to give them some in

Elle POV. Do I pray for them to save her or not, if they manage to save her, I’ll belong to Nikolai, if not she’ll be dead and I’ll be alone. But which one is worse? To have Devil alive and breathing but away from me, or to have her dead? The choice was easy, it’s why I made it the first time, I want her to be safe, even if that mean spending my life with Nikolai, for now I’m on my knees praying. I waited, the day is passing, night is almost here, I had food delivered to my room, not by Paul, I wish it was someone I know, instead it was delivered by some woman that I don’t know. I didn’t eat, I didn’t feel like eating, I was worried and scared, I just need to make sure she’s okay, she’s alive. It wasn’t until night time that I was summoned, it was weird, the same woman from before told me that, I’m summoned to the boss office. I followed her into the boss office, it’s the same office of this morning, Nikolai’s office. She knocked on the door and left, I heard a come in, I guess tha

Elle POV.The tour started in his office, he told me I should always remember my way over here, it’s where he is most of the time, next we moved toward the rest of the house, rooms, gym, cinema, entertainment room, it’s a big house, filled with people. He said I have full access through the house, I could go anywhere I want around the house, not that I’m really interested in all of that. Finally, it was the room we’ll now share, isn’t he worried about sleeping in the same room as me, what if I tried to kill him, I could do it, he doesn’t know or trust me that much to believe I won’t do it. We walked into what I assume is his room, the room was giant, a bed taking the middle of the room, the covers were all dark royal blue, there was a giant bookshelf in the room most of it filled with books. There was a walk in closet, and finally a bathroom, I stood next to the door not knowing what to do anymore, do I walk in? Do I try to kill him? Not that I know how to kill a person or even clos

When did we got this old, preferring to be ho

Elle POV. A party! Dancing, and drinks, and a club, something I never been into before the whole place was dark, there was no chairs, just some small tables and seating around it, the bar was in the middle, it was the only place with light in it, I guess so people would know what they are buying, and what they are paying. There was the bartender was doing some tricks, flipping bottles, shaking drinks, showing off his tattoo, I’ll give it to Nikolai, his employee are hot! We kept walking until we got to set of stairs, we got upstairs, now we can see everyone underneath us, we could see the dance floor with people dancing but the top floor was empty, Nikolai wanted to empty the whole club for us, but Devil talked him into just emptying the VIP floor for us.
