AriaAfter an hour's breakdown,I was now okay. Mecael had stayed with me. Holding my as I sniffled and used a whole box of tissue. He run me a bath afterwards. I come out and he was not around. I get dressed and bun my hair.A knock is heard and Mecael enters,a plate in hand."You've decided to turn my to into a dining?" I pick a book and throw it on the bed."Way to answer me after I just held you. You're very ungrateful." He set the plate on the stand beside the bed."Didn't know you were a fan of scrambled eggs." I sit and open the book."I'm not. They're yours." "I'm not hungry. Normal people eat when they're hungry." "You don't eat even if you're hungry. Also we need to talk. You'll need energy for that talk."I felt my hair stand. Maybe it was nothing to be worried about. Still all kinds of conversations held after 'we need to talk' aren't usually pretty.I sigh and pull the plate. Eggs and noodles. Way to go. "If you think picking on your food will make me hand feed you,you'
AriaI took a long bath taking the time to convince myself that I won't die. It's a party. A simple party attended by almost every mafia in existence. Why would they kill me? I don't even own a car. I have nothing under my name. No one had anything against me.I wrapped a huge towel around my body after drying it and settled on the dressing table to do my makeup. Being a bored teen with no social life led to me do some self learning. One of the things I learnt was how to do my make up. I moisturized my face and applied the base. I used a matte foundation as my skin was oily. I finished off with the other ones quickly as I started to grow tired. I was done with my face. For my long hair,I held it up in a French twist. There. That was perfect enough. Formal yet classy. I wore my dress cursing at myself for doing the hair before. The dress showed of my shoulders as it rested just above my bossoms. The slit on my right run up to my upper thigh. My waist was accentuated by the style of
MecaelAria was getting restless. She took my hand as we walked to the dance floor. I let go and walk before her offering my hand asking for a dance. She took it and I pulled her close. Her arms wrap around my waist. Her fingers lightly brushed my neck."Ever danced before?" My hand held her waist."Yeah. My mom loved dancing. That was before papa died and she got married again." "I'm sorry about your dad." "That's a social cue. The sorry part,I mean. Also,it wasn't your fault and he deserved it." Her face winced like she was in pain.His dad must have done something for her to feel that way even after his death. Is it why she flinched when I raised my voice at him that time? Why she tries so hard to hide her emotions?The song became slow.Her blue eyes held mine staring deeply. I wanted to open her mind to know what was going on in there. That said,I had no intention of doing it because she would end up dead. I could never kill her.I pulled her close to me. Her hand gently tagge
GregMecael was sitted across me. His shoulders were slumped. His black hair was messy. It was never messy. He had dark circles under his eyes. He looked like a possessed adult doll from a horror movie that wasn't really scary.We've been seated in silence for almost thirty minutes. He would make attempts to speak but fail at doing so. I didn't want to rush him so I waited."I cant…"he shakes his head. "I can't live without her,Greg." His voice came out barely as a whisper."She'll be okay. She's under sedatives and she'll be up soon." "I love her." He declared."No,no you don't love her Mecael. You CANT love her. You shouldn't love her." He gave me a pleading look. "Don't kid yourself. Sure she seems fit to be your submissive but throw in love? You can't be serious."I wasn't trying to reprimand him but it came out like I was.And maybe he had forgotten what had happened the last time he said he loved someone. I didn't forget,but reminding him of it was not appropriate right now. "
AriaI slowly opened my eyes. I stared blankly into space before the details of the room load into my head. I was in my room. The last thing I remember was me screaming at the hospital about how I was going to die. I felt some warmth emanating from my side.I look down to my leg. It was plopped up on two pillows. I turn my head to the right to see where the warmth was coming from. Mecael. His head was on the bed. His breathing was steady. My hand was in his. I try to move but he holds onto it tighter. I shake my hand trying to get it away from him.He stirs and raises his head."Hey…you're awake." He lets out a relieved sigh.His plan to kill me didn't succeed and now he wants to act like he cares. I roughly pull my hand away from him and settle it on my stomach. I turned my neck so that my gaze shifted to the left."Go away." I said roughly."What? No, I didn't do anything. I couldn't sleep on the bed with you so…umm…yeah…but I could not leave you alone either." He spoke quickly."Y
MestaI glared at him. He glared back. His ideas were stupid. Irrational and they would all fail. I would have been given the organization to run but he got it instead. The test was to kill someone and not show emotions. As simple as that. He passed with flying colors.That did not mean he was qualified enough. There's much more to running an organization than killing people. He was stupid. Not Alex stupid but close. His idea was even more stupid."If you can just calm down and try to reason." I start. He let's out a frustrated sigh and turns dramatically to the seat. His elbow rests on the desk. He leaned his head and held his forehead."We'll send in a spy." He repeated."We cannot send in a spy at this time Mecael." I tried to explain. "Everything has crumbled down. The shipment have been stolen. What are you sending a spy for?" I was this close to snapping and landing a hot slap on his cheek."My wife Aria was shot. I don't care about the fucking shipments. They can come ask me f
MecaelI stare at the stack of papers infront of me. Working on them in the warehouse wasn't a choice I appreciated. Working at the warehouse was a choice I made myself.I sigh and reach for the top three. I ran my eyes through them not paying attention to any detail. Mesta would go through them because she didn't trust me to do a job good.I didn't blame her. Ever since mother brought her home she has always tried to prove herself. Going above and beyond to do things in a perfect way. Me on the other hand,I couldn't care less. No deal I wanted to seal ever failed. If I needed answers from prisoners then answers I'd get. Except for the last shipment,the other ones were always successful. That was all that mattered and not these stupid papers.I hear the door open. No rush movements from the guards indicated that it was someone they were familiar with. Father never paid attention to this side. Alex was ever in his own world. That left only one person."You're not yet done?" She stood
MecaelWe quietly made our way to the other rooms. Each time I would open and Mesta would back me up. My mind drifted to Aria wandering how she was holding up. She was probably tucked inside the closet. Her beautiful mind could also tell her to hide under the sheets again. I groan."What" she gave me a frustrated look."What?" I had not done anything."You just groaned." She looks at me blankly."I did?" She opens her mouth to speak."Of course I did. This situation is frustrating." She nods and starts moving again.A bang is heard from downstairs. We stopped in our tracks and listened. Mesta's head was cocked to the right, listening. My eyes roamed around trying to catch a moving figure. Footsteps were heard inside the house. Mesta looks at me and nods. I nod back. She cocked her gun. "Leave two for questioning.""I know the rules." During an attack,always capture two alive. One always turned out to be the loyal one. He wouldn't betray his organization even if he had to give up h
