Benjamin increased his speed as he accelerated faster, and the vehicle behind him did the same. Luckily for him, there were few cars on the road as it was late at night.“Took you a while to realize.” He responded as he focused on the road.“Do you know who they're?” She asked as she looked at the vehicle which was almost catching up with them.“From the cult I guess.” He shrugged as he took a sharp turn.“We should face them heads on.” She said as she smirked devilishly. During her stay in the cult, the other assassins didn't hide their displeasure towards her as she was the pride of the cult and had overshadowed their competence.“And you think they won't be familiar with your skills. So much for staying low-key.” He sneered and Sonia hated to agree with him. She was still battling with the hatred of the knight family and didn't want to risk being targeted by the cult. Not when her possible murder hasn't been discovered.Sonia searched the vehicle dashboard and pulled out a gun. She
Mr. Knight and Benita entered the abandoned warehouse as the guards stationed there bowed, acknowledging their presence. He led them inside as they headed straight to the fifteenth floor. Mr. Knight had always avoided coming to the warehouse, but he couldn't avoid it today not with Benita trying to gaslight him. He scrunched up his nose as a foul smell hit him. Lying a few feet from him was Ella, his legally wedded wife and the mother of his children. He was unable to say if he ever loved her or her wealth, but one thing he knew was that his heart hurts seeing her in such a pitiful state.He moved closer to her and held her affectionately in his arms. A lone tear slid down his cheek as he discovered the smell was from her body. On her skin were different cuts and bruises which had been infected.“Who did this to her? Did I order you to lay a hand on her?” He screamed at the top of his voice. Maybe he was feeling guilty for her present predicament or because he had hurt her more badly
“What nonsense is this!” This is outrageous! How dare you ___” “Quiet!” Sonia thundered furiously as she hit her fist on the table making some of the glass cups fall shattering into pieces. “Who gave you the right to make decisions for Williams co-operation? Stick to your position, or I'll get you fired.” She seethes cutting him off. He was one of the company's employees or better still one of Benita’s pawns in controlling the company. “How dare you disrupt the meeting. What has gotten onto you? Have you lost your manners?” Mr. Knight asked fumbling. Not only was her behavior ridiculous, it was also an insult to him. “I guess I might have, but I'm certain I still have enough sense to know what is right from wrong which you obviously lacked.” She refuted and everyone gasped upon hearing her. “Sonia!” Laura exclaimed. “How may I help you?” She asked, directing her gaze to her. “Why did you derive joy in disgracing the knight family? You have caused enough ruckus, you should leav
Sonia drove at an alarming high speed and didn't bother to wait when the red light flashed. She knew the cops would have taken down her plate number, but it wasn't her concern as the vehicle wasn't hers. Laura will be the one dealing with the aftermath.“Shit!” She cursed as she hit her hands on the staring. “What was her haste for if she still got held up in traffic?” She thought as she redialed Vincent line.The line rang continuously before it redirected her to voicemail. Vincent had called earlier and had suddenly gone mute. Call her paranoid, but she had imagined different scenarios in her head. After he had left last night, she hadn't called or texted him. She knew how afraid he was even though he tried to mask it up.Her phone rang out, jotting her out of her thoughts. “Why the hell did you call and keep mute.” She screamed over the phone, and she could picture Vincent moving a few feet away from the phone due to her high-pitched voice.“And you know I don't have to go deaf bef
Mara took cautious and demure steps towards Vincent. She had noticed him when he shouted earlier, and she won't allow any chance of bonding with him to waste. Even though she was angry that he was seated with a lady, she was bent on asserting her dominance and let the lady know she wasn't her match.“Hi there,” She said as she waved her manicured fingernails at him.“Hi,” Vincent responded begrudgingly and Sonia looked up from her phone.“What? Why are you two here?” Mara asked with clear annoyance as she saw Sonia.“Same reason you're here.” She responded with a shrug and Mara chose to ignore her.“Can I sit?” She asked Vincent instead and Sonia took it upon herself to respond in Vincent's place.“No you can't Barbie. We are having a civil conversation here, and we don't need a third party, okay? Now run off like the dog you're.” Sonia said and Mara was offended by her words. She wasn't angry that she was being referred to as a dog, but the fact that she had compared her to a Barbie
America had been peaceful lately, and the citizens had forgotten how chaotic it can be when the mafias are at loggerhead with each other.Sonia stared at the dent on her car and shook her head in pity. It seems Laura was a bad omen, as the car had faced numerous disasters in just a day.“Go into cover. The bad guys are parading the streets.” An elderly woman said to Sonia as she kept walking without waiting to see whether she heard her or not.Sonia wasn't afraid of them. She had lived such a lifestyle in the past and even wanted to go watch the gunfight, but she was sensible to discard the thought as she couldn't protect herself with her fist in a gunfight.Returning to the coffee shop wasn't an option either, as she wasn't in the mood to entertain the sweet and innocent Maya or the overly dramatic Mara.Left with no other choice, she entered her car and was about to drive off when she saw someone she never expected to see making her halt.Right before her was scorpion, an assassin o
“I wish you a smooth journey to hell.” Those were the last words Anna heard before multiple bullets were released on her as she lost consciousness.Opening her eyes in an extremely white space, she looked ahead at the unending space before her eyes darted to another soul which was present in the space.“Are we in heaven?” she asked her companion who squatted on the floor looking at her with uncertainty.“You're in my body now,” Came the first word from the soul which appeared to be fading.“How?” Anna asked in surprise and confusion. “Wasn't she supposed to be in heaven or probably hell. She had killed a lot of souls and knew it would be absurd putting her and heaven in the same sentence. How come she was in someone else's body?" she thought.“I don't know either, but you have to promise to avenge my death and live on in place of me.” she said as her soul was almost vanishing.“I promise, I will.” Anna said to the other party. She would have a chance to help her and also investigate
“How would you like to pay, miss?” The beautician asked Sonia who was staring at the mirror as if it were her victim.She turned away from the mirror and brought out the wallet she had picked up when she was cleaning and handed some stacks of dollars to her.“Your makeover cost five hundred dollars, and this is not up to a hundred dollars.” she said as she displayed the notes for her to see.Sonia opened the wallet again, and an empty wallet was what greeted her. “Gosh! This body wasn't only bullied, but also poor.” she thought as she brought out the badly damaged phone and logged into her banking app. She was among the best assassins in the cult and was paid for each successful mission so she had more than enough money.After leaving the spa, she walked aimlessly along the road as she reminisced on her past and the future she has to face. She had to help the previous occupant with her revenge, and she also had her own matters to tend to.She had walked for a long time and the sun had
