They held her back after successfully knocking her gun out of her head. She groaned as she kept on trying to get free from their grips in the dark room and she thought she was successful until they suddenly pushed her to the floor. She groaned in anger, this had to be the first time she was sent on an assignment but couldn’t complete it. The door suddenly opened and she closed her eyes as the door’s opening came with so much light.
A man walked in and all the men who’d held her earlier moved back while the man walked towards her. She raised her head and saw the man which made her gulp.He clapped his hands and the light she didn’t knew that dark room had came up. She closed her eyes before slowly opening them again and this time she saw his face which made her gulp.Was he the mafia don? “Damn!” She cursed under her breathe…. He was so freaking hot! He moved closer to her and she could now observe his features more closely.His Chiseled jawline, perfectly sculpted nose, virile body, enticing cologne, and those dark hooded eyes, they were a kill for.“Did you really come to kill me?” He asked with a smirk as he helped her get up. She smiled, what a fool.She quickly took out the dagger in her pocket and just as she was about to swing it at him, he held on to her hand, twisted it and then put it behind her before making her stand right in front of him and she had never felt so embarrassed.“Nice skills baby girl, I’ll call you when I need a turkey slaughtered for thanksgiving “ he told her with a naughty smirk on his perfectly sculptured face.Gosh, his breathe that was now on her neck felt so hurt, it felt so hot that it was now a turn on for her.She rolled her eyes, she hated these kinds of feelings. She moved her right foot forward before taking it back, hitting him in the crouch and he let go of her before moving back.“Ouch” he muttered in the most seductive voice and she turned to stare at him before he got up. “Was that supposed to hurt?” He asked before dusting his trouser and then walking towards her. “I’ll call you when I need an emergency footballer” he told her.“I’ll kill you, trust me and I’ll watch you bleed to death right in front of my eyes and when I’m done, I’ll call you when I need some info about the after life “ she said to him.“Wow,” he muttered “you know, you keep attracting me to yourself and damn…. I’m gonna go crazy over you. Why are you doing this to me?” He asked and she chuckled.“Go crazy over me because you’ll need it for when I finally kill you” she said and he inhaled deeply.He snapped his fingers and a chair was brought to him before he sat on it in his style, making him look like the don he actually was. “That’s enough already “ he said and his brows stiffened. “Who sent you to kill me?” He asked as he rested one arm on the arm rest and the other on his chin.She burst into laughter. “And you think I’ll tell you? I only work for money mister and even though I haven’t been given any money for killing you, I have been given way too much money not to spill the beans so even if you point a gun at my head, I won’t spill the beans “ she said and scoffed at him.He smiled before moving closer to her, “You won’t spill the beans? Let’s see what you say about this” he told her before clapping his hands and before she knew it, he didn’t get male goons, he got the female ones and she had never felt so insulted all her life. What did he think of her.“Move back Lopez….. this is about to get messy” she said with a smile and as one of the seven goons rushed to her to hit her, she caught her just in time and threw her to another.The second came running to her with a dagger but she was swift in catching her hand and then twisting it before sending the dagger through her back and then pushing her away. In shock, the third came to her, a gun pointed and just as she shut at her, she bent and then slid towards the one who’s body she’d just inserted a dagger before raising her up and before the second bullet fired could get to her, it hit the goon first and she smiled to herself. She rushed to a corner and took a tray and when the goon tried firing at her again, she raised the stainless tray at the bullet hit it before falling to the ground. She rolled before going to grab the goon who had a gun in her hand. She took her and flung her to a corner before picking the goon and shooting three of the goons down.They were just three goons left, “No biggie!” She muttered to herself with a smile as she took off her leather jacket before screaming and rushing to another goon with her fists clenched. They were clenched so hard that when she drove it into the goon’s stomach, she spat blood. Not waiting for any of the goons to react, she took the one who’d just spat blood and threw her to another goon before grabbing the third one and then hitting her with the gun she had in her hand on her head severally, knocking her unconscious. Before the other two could react, she took the gun and fired it at one and just as she was to fire it at the other, she realized the gun was out of bullets. “Useless!” She cursed before throwing it to the ground.The last female goon left happened to be the toughest and as she rushed to her, aiming for her head with the stick, she bent and then dragged her leg, causing her to fall. As she was still standing, she jumped and made sure to land right on the thug which cause her to scream in pain.Not satisfied, she took the stick and hit her on the head severally, knocking her out. Satisfied with herself, she went to Daniel with a smile, “Are these your best female thugs? Even the ones I have in training are far better than these kids” she said and before she could say something else, she raised her hand, catching another hand which had a broken piece of glass mid air. She turned, “nice try” she said before twisting her arm and then sending the broken piece of glass into her chest.“How are you going to get the truth out of me now Mr Daniel?” She asked with a mocking smile on her face.“Get these women out, they are trash and it’s obvious their years of training was for nothing “ he said angrily. He’d brought those women to show these hit girl her place but they’d just humiliated.“Not even a scratch Mr Lopez.. won’t you call me when you need a job done?” She asked with a mocking smile.He turned to face her and those hooded dark eyes… she could see how angry and cold they turned, she couldn’t help but feel proud of herself.“You might have done well against them, pretty understandable.. they’re low grades after all but let’s see how you do against him “ he said and a one sided smirk danced all the way up his face and on turning, she saw one of the scariest creatures she’d ever seen in her whole career. He looked muscular but this wasn’t the kind of muscular man girls dreamed of. His muscular body, not well structured face and those dreadlocks and tattoos on his body, his look alone was enough to scare her but she didn’t fall for it. She had humiliate this don right here.She rushed in his direction but not to hit him. She slid directly under him and since he’d been expecting her to attack from the front, he wasn’t prepared for the back attack and she successfully used her necklace to give him a hard punch in the neck. She’d really practiced biology because she knew the exact place to hit that made him fall to his knees in pain, giving her the chance to climb on his back and when he got up, trying to thro
Still holding on to her neck in pain, she smiled. One of the goons had dropped a dagger, her signature weapon. She waited for the goon to come to her again before she inserted the dagger into his left foot and then kicked it hard. He screamed in pain before she took it out and then rushed to the goons that guarded the metal box.It was a tough fight and she got injured severely, especially when the use of flabbergas was introduced but luckily, she’d covered her nose in time and stopped herself from inhaling it which only caused it to affect the other goons and not her. Not waiting for the goon to realize what he’d done to his colleagues, she turned the flabbergas and sprayed it right in his face which caused him to fall to the ground, unable to move. She pushed him out of the way before taking her hair pin and then opening the metal box and on opening it, she opened her mouth in shock… it was a secret way to an underground basement.“Thanks for nothing “‘she told the goon who was
She walked in, her neck bandaged and she looked around her, there were so many flowers on the floor. “Don’t tell me a mafia don like you still plays flower plucking games “ she teased with a smile before going to sit beside him and that was when he realized that she looked extremely beautiful whenever she smiled. Her face became plumped when she smiled and it highlighted her eyes even more, curving her brows so she looked like a model advertising facials.“What are you doing here?” He asked coldly.“Nothing. I came to ask when the next job will be, I can’t wait” she said like a little child anticipating Christmas.“There’s no job. I don’t want you going out there any more “ he got off the bed and walked to the window, “look at yourself, you’re badly wounded and you can’t even walk properly and you’re anticipating another job?” He turned towards her and put his hand on her shoulder, “I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything ever happened to you “ he told her and swiftly looked away after
She burst into laughter, “Can you hear yourself? Do you even know what you’re saying? You want to pay me… to make you fall for me?” She asked. “Why would I do that?” She asked “listen to me, I do everything but you see love… trust me, it’s not my gig and I….”“I’m willing to pay a hundred and fifty million so you accept the job “ he said and she immediately turned to face him “Say what now?” She asked, eyes widened.“You heard me right, one hundred and fifty million for you to take this job “ he said and she smiled.“I never turn down a job so of course, I accept but mind you, the fact that I’m going to make you fall for me doesn’t mean I also have to fall for you” she said and even though it gave him a sharp pain in the heart, he ageeed.“Yes, it doesn’t mean you have to fall for me” he said.“Okay then, if you’ve agreed that I don’t have to fall for you… I have no problems… trust me, seducing is one of my many talents “ she said and gave him a naughty wink before leaving. He smil
I watched her as she held on to her stomach as she coughed till she fell to the ground but not unconscious .“What have you done?” I asked her angrily.“You can’t kill him, he didn’t betray you… I did and if anyone is to be punished, I should be” she said and I couldn’t make out from what she was saying. I turned only to see that the man for whom she had taken a bullet was taking for his heels. I scoffed, “coward”. He couldn’t go far before my guards caught up with him and I signaled for them to lock him up in a room before tapping Kathryn.“Get the doctor now!” I yelled at them and they went to call the doctor before I carried her in my arms. What had I done? I knew she was strong and couldn’t be killed by a mere bullet but since it’d hit her in a sensitive spot, I doubted she was going to make it. “Be strong Kathryn, I beg you. Be strong, don’t die” I told her as I saw that she was losing a lot of blood and at this point, I knew I sounded nothing like a mafia don but rather a de
As she stood in front of the building, an unexplainable fear grilled her and she sighed, the chances of her getting out of the building alive were very slim but as usual, she had to put her life on the line. She walked into the building, hands still on her stomach and the moment she walked in, she heard bullets being fired from the top and on looking, a pillar almost landed on her but she was swift to move out of harm’s way.“Daniel! Daniel” she called amidst the bullets that were being fired and she had to hold on to her stomach. She climbed up the stairs and even though it was very painful, she had no choice… she had to fulfill her duties. On getting to the final floor, she gasped in shock, Daniel had been held down by goons and he looked badly injured. The goons also did but he looked worse and she immediately hid, she couldn’t risk being founded out by the goons. She looked around, she wished she had a dagger at this point in time, she would show these goons who the boss was
She angrily moved forward as they led her to the same area where Daniel had been kept only that she was now far from him. The guns were now pointed at her head and it was distracting Daniel and he was getting beaten pretty badly.She was angry and humiliated, she couldn’t imagine herself being the source of pain for him.She turned to one of the goons, “shoot me… shoot me if you have the guts” she told him and she fixated his gun right on her head“What are you doing Kathryn?” Daniel asked and this time when the man wanted to hit him, he bent and sent the man flying across the room into a pillar “I said shoot me… or don’t you have the guts?” She asked with a smirk on her face and the man stared at her shocked“You look like someone who’d just escaped a hospital.. you’re still wounded.. we don’t wanna kill you or your family would die “ he told her and she chuckled “Your mistake then” she told him and before he knew it , she turned the gun at shot at his head immediately. The other g
She stared at the unconscious Daniel in shock before proceeding to shake him, “Daniel, Daniel “ she called as she rolled him over her so she could get up. She winced in pain as she held on to her stomach, the stitches from the surgery were bound to have come off after the day’s activities. She looked at her clothes, they were bloodstained and when she put her hand beneath his head, she saw blood and gasped, he’d been injured on the beads. She gasped before shaking him.“Wake up Daniel, wake up” she told him as she tried giving him chest compressions but they weren’t helping.“If he doesn’t wake up, it means I’ve failed” she said to herself before putting her hand on her forehead.. she couldn’t fail, there was no way she could fail.She’d failed once as an assassin, she couldn’t fail now as a guard. She managed to get him on her back despite how weak she was as she used the shaky walls for support while many parts of the building came crashing down as she walked out of the building.
“Kathryn, are you sure you can do this? You’ve waited two years to see him, all this time, all you wanted is to have a happy life with him and Kathy, why are you leaving now? I have no problems if you’re happy, but Kathryn, think about yourself for once. You’re also a human.” Tanya said as they sat in the waiting area, waiting for their time of flight.“Mum, don’t worry about me, I’m very happy. Does it look like I’m sad? This is what we need. At least now, we know everything is fine. I know that he has forgiven me, Kathy is better now too. What else could we want?” She asked, and Tanya tucked her hair behind her ear as she smiled at Kathryn.“Your happiness. Kathryn, for two years, all you’ve being focused on is making us happy, me and Kathy, and I don’t think Kathy wants to be a burden on you forever.” Tanya said, and Kathryn chuckled.“Kathy and you will never be a burden to me because you two are very important to me.” She said, and Kathy raised her head from Kathryn’s laps as she
Days had passed since the surgery, and both Daniel and Kathy seemed to be doing well. More than anyone, Kathryn was happy, and that was because her daughter was better now, she wouldn’t have go through the same pain that her sister had gone through, and she also wouldn’t have to be separated from her.On the other hand, she was also very happy that after two years, she was finally forgiven by Daniel. It seemed like her life was falling into place, until one day, while she was busy with work, Kathy walked up to her.“Momma, are you busy?” She asked her, and Kathryn chuckled as she pulled her closer to herself.“Tell me, when have I ever being too busy for you?” She asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and Kathy chuckled as she stared at her.“I’m so sorry, momma, but I just have a quick question to ask.” She said, and Kathryn stared at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.She slowly wiped the tears that were now forming in her daughter’s eyes as she stared at her. “Kath, are y
“They found the both of you?” Daniel asked, shocked, but she chuckled.“No, it was some women. They had heard her screams while she delivered and they decided to help us, but then, after everything that had happened, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. I didn’t think I would be able to let those women help me, but then, Elma, she had a good heart, and she didn’t want the baby to die. She was already bleeding badly, and we had no choice but to go with the women.”“Don’t tell me they were part of the…”“No, they weren’t, but I never got to see my sister again.” She said as she smiled weakly, and he furrowed his eyebrows.“What happened to her?”.“Elma, you’ve got a beautiful baby here, she’s so cute.” Kathryn told her sister who was barely awake.Elma smiled weakly as she took a sixteen year old Kathryn’s hand in hers, rubbing it slowly as she smiled weakly. “She’s not my baby, Katrina. She’s yours.” She said, and Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at her.“My baby? What do
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “That’s a lie, you’re joking.” He told her, and she shook her head as she stared at him.“I’m not. My sister was already nine at the time, and it felt like her condition was just getting worse. Okay, you’re not my real parents, where are my real parents? I used to ask them, but no one answered me, they just kept making our lives a living nightmare, and looking at Elma, the sister who saved me many times, she was getting worse. It was like she could barely even talk, and that was when I made a decision, I needed to take my sister away from there.” She told him as she wiped her tears; and he stared at her.“Weren’t you just seven?” He asked her, and she nodded as she chuckled.“I was just seven, but I also couldn’t stand seeing my sister who’d given me life die slowly. We had nowhere to go, but one thing was certain: we couldn’t keep staying at that house. For months, we were on the run, barely surviving because we didn’t have any money or
She took in a deep inhale as she closed her eyes. “For years, I’ve kept this story to myself. I’ve never shared it with anyone but mum. It hurts me whenever I remember it, but maybe it’s time I said it because how would I heal when I know I still haven’t recovered from the past?” She spoke as she wiped her tears, and he stared at her.“What happened twenty years ago?” He asked her, and she closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was born to a very poor family, my parents barely owned anything, and my mother, she was a woman who worked very hard to provide for all of us. She made sure that the four of us, me, her, my dad, and my elder sister, Elma didn’t lack anything. She was a very busy woman, and since she had to work so much for her to fend for our needs, she was never home. She kept us in the custody of our father who didn’t have a job. His only job was to take care of us since she was the one doing all the work, but he couldn’t do that, and instead of actually
Seconds, minutes, and even hours had passed, and the light in the operating theatre still hadn’t gone off. Tanya held on to Kathryn as she patted her hair.“It’s going to be fine, the both of them will be fine.” She told her as she handed her a glass of water. “Here, have this, you haven’t eaten all day.” She told her, but she shook her head.“No mum. I don’t want to have it. Kathy and Daniel haven’t eaten all day too. Mum, my daughter is in there, and I don’t know how everything is going. Until I know they’re alright, I won’t be able to rest easy.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks, and Tanya smiled as she pulled her to herself.“I’m telling you, everything is going to be fine, and trust me, Kathryn. Your life is going to get better from now on. I promise you.” She said, and Kathryn embraced her tightly.“I hope so, mum. I really do.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.While she embraced her mum, tears streaming down her cheeks, the lights in the operating theatre s
She wiped her tears as she shook her head, staring at him, shocked. “You? How did you know about…”“The day you left the meeting, I followed you. I have being keeping tabs on everything you’ve being doing, and the other day, I had myself tested to see if I was a match for her, and turns out, I was.” He told her, and she stared at him, shocked.“You’re willing to donate a kidney to her even after everything that I did to you?” She asked him, and he smiled as he moved closer to her.“I know the truth now, Kathryn. I know that whatever you did, you didn’t do it for money like I thought you had. You did it because you were a mother. You did it because you wanted to save your child.” He told her as he took her hand in his.The tears she was trying hide to fight in streamed down her cheeks more freely. “Daniel, I’m sorry, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I’ll be grateful to you for saving Kathryn. I’ll make it up to you, I…” he shook his head.“Kathryn, you might not have being the one
She rolled her eyes as she turned on the bed. “What see you doing here, Daniel? Didn’t I already say I’d get your files for you? Didn’t I tell you that my mum would….” Before she could even finish speaking, he cut her off.“We both know she’s not your birth mother, Kathryn, so stop…”“She doesn’t have to be the one who birthed me before she’s my mum. If she gave me life, if she stood by me and gave me a listening ear when no one else did, she’s more than worthy to be my mum. Daniel, I need to rest. Please leave.” She told him, and he chuckled.“For weeks, you’ve been doing your best to try and talk to me. You’ve being putting up with everything I’ve done to you, and now that I’m actually willing to listen to you, you don’t want to talk to me? How ironic.” He said, and at that moment, she could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes.She took in a deep inhale as she stared at him. “It’s like you said, Daniel. I’ve been throwing myself at you for weeks, but you didn’t listen, and n
“Daniel, relax. It’s not what you think. I…” before she could even finish speaking, he grabbed her by the hair as he stared at her.“How many more secrets are you going to keep from me, Kathryn? Tell me, how much more are you going to keep shocking me? How much more are you going to keep reminding me that I don’t seem to know anything about you? Just show me your true color, Kathryn. Stop being a camellion and show me the real you.” He told her, and she shook her head.“Daniel, at least listen to me, let me explain. I…”“Come on, explain. I want to hear everything. Maybe it’s time that I came to know the truth because I’m tired, I’m tired of getting hurt over and over again, because for some reason, I find out that I know nothing about the woman I love.” He told her, and tears started to stream down her cheeks on hearing him say those words to her.“So you still love me Afterall. Daniel, you…” he raised his hand, preventing her from completing her statements.“Let’s not even get start
