Alison couldn't sleep; she forced herself to sleep, but she could not.

The house was as quiet as a graveyard. She felt the weight of the silence crushing her. Her room was so dusty, it took a while to clean it. She didn't know what to do. She began to wander about the house desperately trying to do anything that'll keep her busy. Every step she took was just reminding her how empty the house felt.

She found herself in the kitchen, scanning through the shelves and cupboards. Dusty cans of food greeted her, mostly expired. She pulled out two that weren't expired. She started to look for a pot.

Nicholas entered the kitchen so quietly she didn't want to hear a sound. She turned around only to see him leaning against a doorframe, startling her. He was gazing at her in a way that a predator looked at their prey before turning to a meal.

“Do you always invade kitchens unannounced?” she asked, trying to mask her discomfort with humor.

“You’re making noise,” he said, ignoring her question.

  • The Mafia Assassin    Chapter Fifteen

    Alison sat at the dining table, slowly eating the food Nicholas made. The silence between her and Nicholas was getting more suffocating as time passed by. She could feel his presence in the room even though he hadn't said anything.He stood by the window, his back facing her, staring out at the surroundings. She could tell his body was tense. He seemed to be thinking.“Do you ever talk?” Alison asked, finally breaking the silence between them.Nicholas turned slightly, his gray eyes narrowing. "Do you ever stop asking questions?"She bit her lip, holding back a reply. His dismissive attitude hurt her, but she reminded herself not to push him."I'm just trying to figure out what's going on," she said this time in a calmer tone.“I don't need you to understand, I just need you to be alive,” he said sharply.“How am I supposed to do anything when you barely say a word, how do you expect me to know what's going on” she could feel herself getting frustrated again.Nicolas turned around com

    Alison walked into the living room, her heart racing.She was waiting to hear what he would say. Nicholas was leaning against the window, arms crossed over his chest, his grey eyes fixed on her as she entered. His face was blank, so serious.Sit, he said, pointing to the chair in front of him.She hesitated for a moment before sitting down.The silence was oppressive. Nicolas finally spoke, his voice cold and hard. "You have tested my patience and it’s over. There are rules to live by if you want to stay alive."Alison’s eyebrows furrowed. "Rules?" What rules?"You speak only when necessary," Nicholas said, "Don’t go anywhere without my permission." Get out of my way, and more importantly..." He leaned forward, his eyes boring into hers and her stomach twisted. "Don’t ask questions."He closed his eyes, his disappointment rising to the surface. "I can’t ask questions?" How am I supposed to know what’s going on if you don’t tell me?"That’s none of your business," he said. Your job is t

    Everything seemed to going slowly for Alison. She tried her possible best to be out of Nicholas's sight. She rarely sees him anyway. He was mostly out. She buried herself in her painting nowadays. It was the only way she was able to escape this harsh reality, ironically also what got her into this huge mess. She wasn't going to blame anyone, including herself, for the past days, she had come to accept her fate now. She stared in awe at her masterpiece which she just completed. She missed this. Just staring at the painting made her homesick, she thought about her parents and friends. Do they realize she's missing? Are they desperately trying to reach her? So many things came to mind. She had the urge to find where Nicholas hid her phone and call them but she knew that was just a big risk. She will risk Nicholas's wrath and the possibility of them being caught. She quickly banished the thought. She sighed as she stared at her painting once again. The painting reflected how she was fee

    Alison stood in front of the mirror, her hands shaking slightly as she grabbed a black fitted T-shirt which was part of the clothes Nicholas got her. Her mind raced, what did he mean by ‘fight’. She thought of many scenarios and it didn't end pleasant.She sighed defeatedly, using her hands to brush back her hair before eventually leaving the room. Nicholas was still where he was waiting in his constant black outfit with his expression unreadable as usual.“Let's go,” he said, not even sparing her a glance. He headed out and she followed suit quickly.The evening breeze hit Alison as she reached outside. It was slowly getting dark and her mind raced of so many possibilities. “Was he going to punish her or was it some kind of test” “Where was he leading her to” “ What if he was sick of hiding and wanted to turn her in”l Her stomach twisted as she taught of so many things.Nicholas suddenly stopped walking and quickly turned startling her a bit. “ You need to learn how to defend yourse

    The next morning, Alison woke up with a dull ache in her muscles, a constant reminder of her “training” with Nicholas. Every joint protested as she struggled out of bed, her body stiff and sore from the countless times he had thrown her to the floor. She groaned, rubbing her shoulder, silently cursing him under her breath. But she knew one thing for sure: giving up was not an option. Giving up wasn't in her vocabulary. Dragging herself into the kitchen, she found Nicholas already there, casually leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee in his hand. His dark eyes locked on her for a brief second before returning to the phone in his hand. "Did you sleep well?" he asked dryly, not even attempting to hide the sarcasm in his voice. Alison watched him, reaching for a glass of water just to hold herself from throwing something at him. "Like a baby," she muttered under her breath. Nicholas's lips tightened slightly, almost as if he were fighting a smile. But it disappear as quick

    Alison’s heart raced as she followed behind Nicholas to the house. Her body was in pain but fear overshadowed every ounce of pain.“Company.” The word echoed repeatedly in her mind, adding to the fear she was feeling.Nicholas didn’t say much and moved quickly, his sharp gaze scanning the windows and doors carefully. He went straight to a hidden compartment under the living room floor and pulled out a black bag.When he opened it, Alison’s stomach twisted: a collection of guns, knives, and bullets neatly packed inside.“Go upstairs,” he ordered without looking.Alison hesitated. "But...""Now, Alison." His voice was low, terribly serious, piercing her like a blade.She swallowed hard, shaking her head as she turned toward the stairs. But halfway up, curiosity pinned her to the spot. She leaned forward, peering through the wooden railings, watching Nicolas load a rifle with full concentration.A few moments later, a loud bang echoed through the house.Nicolas was not afraid. He simply

    Adrian spent her time hiding in her room. Too scared to face them after the embarrassment she just faced leaving Tristan with Nicholas. “ The place is still the same, huh,” Tristan said, moving and looking around. “So why coming here, you couldn't message” Nicholas questioned “Adrian is suspicious of us, he probably wiretapped it, you know Luke is missing right” Of course, he didn't know. He thought of the last time he saw him. “He'll come back, he's a survivor, he's probably in hiding like us” “ Sure he is, but Adrian’s recent actions are strange.” Tristan put his hand on his chin as if trying to think. “ What do you mean” Nicholas asked curiously. “It's like he doesn't care any longer, he called off the bounty hunters and stopped his men from looking for you guys which is so confusing cause I know the chaos he made because of you guys” The statement puzzled Nicholas the most. What was Adrian planning? He knew Adrian the most. Adrian wasn't the type to give up easily especia

    The rain started falling unexpectedly, its large droplets hitting the dusty windows and blurring the gray sky outside. Alison stood close to the window, her arms crossed, watching the rain. It reminded her of home. Inside the house, the silence felt heavier with the sound of the rain—each drop constantly reminding her of a feeling of stuckness. Nicholas sat by the kitchen table entirely focused on what he was doing. The table was in a mess of maps, files, and ruffled notes. His coffee was cold, left untouched since he poured it. His sharp eyes scanned all the documents, his expression as that of a stone. Alison wondered how anyone could stay so still for so long , getting more annoyed as she watched him longer. She snapped. "You staring at those papers all day won’t magically solve anything.” She knew she was being annoying but that was the only way to grab his attention. Nicholas didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look up. “And pacing by the window won’t change anything either.” S

  • The Mafia Assassin    Chapter Fifty-One

    The past couple of days, things have been going smoothly for Nicholas and Alison. They have grown closer staying in the underground. Nicholas still hasn't heard anything from Tristan. He knew something was wrong.Things were great with Alison; she has gotten bolder with him, teased him, and talked to Endless. He enjoys hearing her talk. She made me feel human again. Like he wasn't a monster. He was somehow reminded of the first time they met. How she challenged him despite her fear. He found it so funny."You know you can sleep on the bed; it's big enough for two," Alison's voice cut in through his thinking."You sure""Yes, you look so funny on that small couch" she let out a chuckle.Nicholas didn't know whether he would be able to control himself, being stuck with her in just this room was enough torture for him already. He wanted to decline but the look on her face left no room for arguments. He marched towards the bed where she was waiting. She patted the space beside her. She w

    ****Nicholas couldn't understand what was going on. He hasn't heard from Tristan for a while. He didn't know how things were in Adrian's end. He tried calling but he got no response. This was unlike him. He brushed it off noting it would be hard to communicate with him being in Adrian's territory.He watched as Alison slept. She looked so angelic in her sleep. He thought of last night when she confessed to him. He was honestly shocked by her confession and their late-night conversation. He could spend the whole day just hearing her speak. She had such a lovely voice. She was opening up to him now.He watched as she turned in her sleep. She was waking up. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for some time. Her cheeks turned red, he knew she remembered last night.He had always wanted to tell her how cute her morning face looked. He watched her as she sat up. Her eyes met his. She smiled at him and he found himself smiling too. He walked up to her. "Good morning beauti

    All that Alison could think about was their almost-kiss. She was perfectly sure of it. All Nicholas did was confuse her. That seems to be his daily job which he was perfectly fine in. How could he do that leaving her craving for more.She was frustrated just thinking about it. Or could he possibly be still thinking of her as Amelia? She felt a little hurt thinking of her. She stared at him on the couch. His eyes were closed. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. He seemed a bit awkward on the couch. Even in his sleep, he was invading her mind.She sat up from the bed. Even the bed annoyed her too. A thought crossed her mind. She was about to do something crazy that might make things awkward for them."Nicholas""Nicholas"Nicholas opened his eyes, a few seconds later."Yes" He sat up and looked at her with those gray eyes she had come to talk."I can't sleep" She blurted out. That wasn't what she intended to say but she went with it."Me too" he sighed."Do you want tea?" he asked, and

    Alison woke up earlier than before. The room was dark and completely filled with silence. She sat up on the bed stretching her body. Her body felt sore. She looked at the couch and she didn't see Nicholas.She expected to find him pacing the room or with his phone call.She straightened her shirt, her gaze falling on the closed bathroom door. The light spilling out from beneath it confirmed one thing. He was in there.She was about to lie down back when the door opened. She turned without thinking and froze.Nicholas came out of the bathroom, a white towel hung dangerously low around his waist.His hair was all wet and messy from the shower. Beads of water dropped from his perfectly built chest, and they glided down to the towel.Alison felt like she couldn’t breathe.She knew she should look away but she didn't. More like she wanted to look at him. Her brain was warning her not to look down; everything in her was forcing her to look up, but she found herself looking down at his body

    Alison woke up again, she didn't know when she fell asleep again. She didn't see Nicholas which made her to feel panicked till she saw him lying on the couch. It looked a little odd considering his tall frame. She didn't know where they are. She monitored the unfamiliar room with intent trying to know whether she could guess the place.She stared at Nicholas again, she got off the bed and moved closer to him. A half blanket covered him.His gun was kept to his side. He looked so....tired yet still handsome. This was the first time she has ever seen him sleep.He looked so gorgeous. Alison watched me closely. He looked different. He seemed more... human unlike before. She walked back to her bed sitting on it. She glanced at the half glass of water placed on the table remembering how he took care of her.She wondered why he chose to be in the same room with her. He could have gone to another room. But he didn't. He was still here.A voice in her mind was reminding her she looked like his

    Nicholas stared at the almost lifeless body in his arms. His heart nearly stopped beating when she fell into his arms. The image triggered a memory,but a different time, different person, similar situation, and striking resemblance. Alison wasn't going to; he wouldn't let that happen. He ignored the chaos and fighting from the men and picked her up. She needed to be taken to the hospital. He knew it was risky considering they were in the run but that was the only option. "I'll get Luca," Tristan said, aid probably sensing how lost Nicholas was. Luca was a doctor who also helped if any of the gang members got injured. Soon Alison was out of his arms and was being attended to. He didn't want to leave her with Luca but something was really bothering him. He left her with Tristan before going to meet the men who abducted her. He marched towards them with a burning fury in his chest threatening to burst. The men were already tied up and injured. He brought out a sharp knife from his pock

    A scream broke the quiet night. Nicholas jolted awake, alert suddenly. His thought was of one person. Alison.He reached for his gun as he heard another scream, louder than the first.He rushed out of his office and dashed towards Alison's room. He could still remember their argument. Damn, he shouldn't have left her alone. He kicked the door open with so much force.No one, he didn't see anyone in the room, and for the first time,, he felt a feeling he didn't think he would feel for a long time.Fear.His eyes drifted to the broken window and the remnant glasses on the floor.She was gone.

    Nicholas could barely sleep that night.The image of Alison pressed against the wall with pure anger in her eyes kept interrupting his sleep. Damn it. He shouldn't be thinking about her, he had more pressing matters to deal with.He shouldn't have gotten that close to her. Or touched her in the first place. The look in her eyes stirred something in him. Something he didn't want to feel more like wouldn't accept himself to feel. He nearly lost control and it terrified him.His control was the only thing keeping them alive at the moment. He couldn't afford to lose it.He didn't know what Adrian was planning and he suspected he had something to do with the symbol. He wasn't sure but that was all he could come up with for now.
