"Hera where are you?" Pollux ask through my in ear device. "I am now on position" I immediately reply and secure the accuracy of the sniper gun I am holding. I look through the lens and position my finger on the trigger as I followed Apollo's movement who choose to be on the close range engagement. "Where? Make sure you're safe" Apollo intervene before Pollux could say something.I rolled my eyes. "I am not the one who's entering the lion's den. You should be careful not me" I sarcastically reply."You are also on the dangerous position. Someone is surely finding your location right now" he reason out. That will only happen if they knew that we have a plan to infiltrate them today.I frown. "I can handle myself" I firmly assure him.He doesn't need to worry about me, before deciding my location I clear the vicinity first to make sure that there will be no hindrance to our mission. "Fuck. To the west side of the building Hera! There's already an engagement" Pollux hurriedly told m
I press my lips together while the doctor is cleaning my bruise on both of my arms. It is a bit sting because of the alcohol to cleanse the wound but it is fine, I can endure it. I mean, I already experience much more painful from this but I never complain. I tuck the loose strand of my hair, I am in the living room together with Sain Czar who's having a conversation with his brother Cassinno. They are occupying the seats in the corner of the great room that's why I couldn't heard their conversation. But looking at their facial expression, I can assume that they are talking what happen a while ago.Speaking of Cassinno, his wound was already mended. He looks fine now and become more intimidating. I haven't told him my gratitude which is a bit hard for me because I am not someone who accepts anyone's help. I don't know how will I utter my thanks, I just hope he won't rudely respond if ever I approach him."Let me check your other arm, Signora" the doctor said getting my attention.I m
A FEW DAYS LATERBaking cupcakes is not my thing. I am not a woman who spend my free time in the kitchen figuring out a new recipe. I am far from being feminine, the only thing I am good at is holding a gun and knife. I spent my free time in training to sharpen my skill. I'm easily get bored with womanly activities. But then, that doesn't mean I can't make cookies. I can even pretend like a fragile and gentle woman who seems get along with the kitchen stuffs just like what a normal wife can do.I mentally laugh with that thought and shrug it off because I couldn't concentrate with what I'm doing. Just like what I've said, I'm making cupcakes. I don't know what got into me, it just that I wake up yesterday morning thinking that maybe I should try doing something new. Obviously this is what I'm referring as 'something new'. I've been searching tutorial online for me to do the basic. Eredia try to offer me some help but I decline. She even suggested that I should ask the family chef to
"Damn, will he be alright?"I frown and look at Pierro. "What do you mean by that?" I can't help to ask.Why does it sounds like a big deal? Come to think of it, when I came here I was not given enough time to know every single detail about Sain Czar Ildefonso. Everyone knows that this mission was unexpected, I was not prepared. I didn't prepared myself as well.I mean, this is not the flow of plan that I envisioned when I was still young. This is not the revenge that I wanted. What I want is to kill Cesar Ildefonso myself, I want his blood on my hands. I want the smell of his blood filled my nose But everything changes when I was told to pretend as Selena Asli Castania. Everything happen so fast, I must say. So I didn't know anything about him aside from the fact that he's the most dangerous Ildefonso. I don't know what he likes, I don't know his hobbies, I don't know what his favorite food, I don't know how he spent his free time if ever he has knowing that he's a busy person.Al
"I want to see you as much as you want to see me, darling..."I couldn't stop my smile. I can feel the fluttering sensation in my stomach. The butterfly effect that I didn't knew possible for me to experience. I could hear the small buzzer signal in the corner of my head, sending warning that I am getting off track with the path I'm taking. But then, I wanted to breath in this beautiful feeling. This is my first time getting experience something like this. An emotion that I couldn't just simply put into words, an emotion that couldn't just define so easily. It feels like there is a strong connection between me and Sain. A connection that bond us together. This is not about our deal, it's not about the contract. It's more than that."See you there, then" I whisper still feel giddy inwardly."Take care, don't be stubborn and just follow what Pierro or Nicolai instructed to you. They know what will they do for your safety, alright?" He said almost sound like my father, a tone that is la
What is Phoebus Romani doing here? Isn't he aware that Ilde Famiglia already found out about Mafia Romano? What they also figure out that the person who leads the Mafia Romano is the Romani clan?"I'm fine," I said and take a step back.He let go of me but I saw how his stare remain on my face. After a few seconds, his expression lit up and a flash of recognition cross his eyes followed by his charming smile. "I know you," he utter. "We've met before aren't we?" He take a step forward to close our distance that made me take another step back. I guess he notice what I did because his smile grew wider as if he find me amusing. I bit the inside of my mouth and compose myself. He doesn't know me as Herravie Costello but I need to be careful. Who knows if this man is just pretending that he doesn't know me. I mean, his father know me. Teofilo Romani is aware that the fourth child of Luscio Costello is a woman. We already met once so it is possible that he mention me to his son which is
I press my lips together. Sain is holding my wrist as he lead me the way to I don't know where are we going. I could feel how furious he is but his grip is not tight enough to hurt me, as a matter of fact his hand feels soft and gentle to my skin it's just that, I know that he is not in the mood. We enter the elevator at the end of the fancy hallway. I think this elevator is exclusively for him or perhaps it's for the executive. Silence is deafening between us, he's still holding my wrist although we're the only one inside the elevator. Sain is not uttering a word but he's anger is too evident in his face. There is a slight creased plastered on his forehead and his jaw is clenching from time to time while his eyes is blazing in fire.The elevator stop and then the door open. I was not able to know what floor we stop because my whole attention is focus on my so called husband doesn't want to missed even just a small detail of his expression. He pulled me again with him, I saw a man we
I force myself a smile because I don't know what to say. I let him eat the cupcakes while I am sitting on the single sofa inside his office. He seems enjoying which is opposite to what I predicted. I am bit worried with the thought that maybe he is just forcing himself but then, I don't think he is. There is a hint of satisfaction and joy in his deep dark soulful eyes that always drowning me.Honestly, he looks like a kid right now. I find him adorable which I didn't know would possible for someone who was so tall and has a firm body with a face that screams with manliness. I find him cute while enjoying himself with the cupcakes I made for him."Does it taste good?" I can't help to ask. I don't want him to force himself with something that he doesn't like. And I think he's been eating a lot, I don't want him to have a bad stomach especially now that we are in his office and not at him. "It taste delicious" he flash a smile that made me bit the inside of my mouth. "You should visit
