Days went by quickly and it was finally time for the mission to take down my asshole of a father. In those four weeks that went by, Ares and I had gotten extremely close.
We've been dating for two months. Every once in a while, we'd hang out, do random things like eat ice cream, go to clubs, make out, go to his private house and spend the day watching movies. It was weird how normal everything was—how easy he made everything seem. And what was funny was that I didn't even care. I wanted Ares and I to live our entire lives together. Nobody were aware of our relationship except Ana, Austin and Xavier. I've met them a couple of times, hanged out with them as well and we even started a nice friendship. They were fun to be with— for once in my life, I did not seem like a woman who was taught only how to kill in her childhood. With them, I was only a normal twenty four year old woman who was hanging out with her boyfriend and friends. It was refreshing.
"Alexia, are you ready?" Ares asked through the earpiece. I hummed in response, "yeah. I see my dad, he's speaking with Michele's brother. I dismissed all of his men, by the way. You can start."
Ares was in his car, which was parked across Michele Yang's house. All his men were waiting for orders to crash inside and kidnap my dad while I was already inside as I was also invited to that party.
"Launch the smoke bombs," I heard Ares ordered. I leaned against the wall, keeping a safe distance between my father and I as I watched smoke beginning to fill the yard. I quickly slid on the pair of goggles offered by Ares so I could see through the smoke.
Everywhere became foggy. As if on alert, I noticed my dad removing his gun while trying to wave off the smoke to see but in vain. I could see him perfectly well through the goggles I was wearing even though I looked like an utter idiot but that didn't matter. Nobody could see me so that was all right.
Ignoring all the confused voices and screams, I slowly crept up behind my dad and injected the sedative in his neck, making him fall unconscious within a few seconds. I caught his limp body before he could fall on the ground.
"Come and take him away," I said to Ares who replied with, "on my way."
No less than five seconds later, Ares's men, who were all wearing goggles similar to mine, came and carried my unconscious father away to their car.
"Now go, I'll see you at your house," I said to Ares who replied, "Good Job, love. See you soon." I took off the ear piece and slid it in my purse before taking off the goggles as well, hiding it.
However, instead of leaving instantly, I stayed there in order not to seem suspicious because my dad disappeared. A few minutes later, the smoke disappeared and everywhere became clear again.
"Is everyone alright?" Michele asked, his eyes flickering from guest to guest in his backyard. His eyes fell on me and he flashed me a smile.
"Where is your father?" He asked, walking towards me with his hands clasped behind his back. I replied in a calm voice, "Liza fell sick suddenly so he had to leave. He told me to apologize on his behalf."
"It's all right dear, really. I understand." Michele replied sweetly, "you're staying right? Or you have to go too?"
"Unfortunately, Liza is my mother too," I bit the insides of my cheek at my own words, "so I care about her and I have to see if she's alright."
"Ah, I understand," he clicked his tongue against his cheek, giving me an understanding nod, "tell her I told her to get well soon!" I only nodded in response before starting to walk away from the man, heading towards the exit. I slid in my car and drove away from the place.
I went to Ares's house and headed to his basement where he texted me he was with my father.
"You're here," Ares spoke up the moment I entered the place. I nodded, my eyes falling on my father who was tied in a chair, his hands behind it's back, his legs tied to it's legs, his head lowered and his eyes closed.
"When's he waking up?" I questioned Ares who shrugged, checking his watch on his wrist, "anytime now."
As if my dad heard us, he began coughing and slowly started to open his eyes. He blinked a few times to adjust his sight, his brows furrowing in confusion.
"What am I doing here, you morons?!" He shouted as he raised his head. His eyes widened when they landed on me and confusion began to overtake his features.
"A-Alexia?" He stuttered out, his eyes filler with the slightest amount of fear,"w-hat ar-e y-you do-ing?"
"Kidnapping, killing, torturing," I responded with a nonchalant shrug, "nothing I haven't done before."
"You betrayed your own father!" He sneered, his tone filled with anger, "you sided with the enemies!"
"Ares is my boyfriend," I stated watching as his eyes grew before I continue, "and it's you who's my enemy. I hate you, I fucking hate your disgusting self— I spat angrily, my fists clenching to my sides, "—you always thought about yourself. You never cared about anyone else."
"It's how you should be in the mafia!" He responded, his jaw clenched and his eyes locked on me, "It's either you or no one!"
"Well, now you have no one to get you out of this." I smirked, taking out my dagger from my hostler since I was still dressed up from that party, "I'm gonna take over the Russian Mafia, after I kill you."
"You won't dare to kill me," he rolled his eyes, "I'm your father and you're my daughter!" He shouted which made me laugh darkly, "Sean was your son and Michael was my best friend—you didn't hesitate before shooting them, you bloody asshole!"
"I regret what I did to Sean, all right? I really do!" He shouted, fake tears forming in his eyes which made me scoff at his pathetic attempt to save himself. I approached him, twirling my knife as I did so. I stood behind him and press it's cold sharp edge to the back of his neck. His body straightened. "P-please," he breathed out making me smile, "please what?"
"P-please l-let me g-go." He rephrased, his voice trembling. I sighed dramatically, "isn't this nice? You begging me to spare your pathetic life?" I glanced at Ares to find him leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. He flashed me an encouraging nod when he noticed me looking at him and I smiled, looking down at my father. "I cannot wait to torture the living fuck out of you, dad."
"S-Stop, I'm s-so-sorry!" He was literally crying, his body was shaking but I ignored that and slowly but carefully dragged the knife from the back of his neck to the front. I didn't cut him yet. I then grabbed a fistful of his hair and roughly pulled his head back making it hit the back of the chair earning a pained groan from him in response. "Here's the deal; if you even as much as utter a sound, I will add one more hour in our torturing session. We good?" He nodded in response, not daring to argue.
I smirked, letting go of his hair before making my way to stand in front of him. I brought my knife to his eyes, slowly tracing the the space under his eyes. He didn't dare to blink. Without wasting another second, I slit it open. He bit his lip, not allowing himself to make a sound. Ares snorted from behind me. I turned around and found him watching in amusement as I tortured my father. He had probably done all those things before. "What?" I raised my brows at him, not able to stop the smile which tugged at my lips at the joy I was currently feeling. He shook his head, biting his bottom lip to prevent a smile but was failing miserably, "nothing."
"Want to take turns?" I asked, pointing to my father. Ares shook his head, "pass." I shrugged, returning back to my dad. I watched as blood fell from his left eye before doing the same thing to his eight eye. He squeezed them shut, tears mixing with blood as both fell down his cheeks. I then cut his jawline roughly and carelessly earning a pain filled scream from him. I gasped dramatically, "looks like someone just earned himself another hour!" He began shaking his head, "no, n-no, pl-plea—" I cut him off, "that makes two. What did I say about talking?" This time he pursed his lips, keeping his mouth shut.
"Well, I might as well make myself comfortable," Ares said from behind me making me smile. He sat on the ground, bringing his knees up and loosely wrapped his arm around them, his left hand gripping his right wrist as he leaned his head against the wall, staring at me.
"Aren't you a supportive boyfriend?" I joked earning a chuckle from him, "I am, aren't I?" Chuckling at his words, I continued my art on my father. I made several cuts on his face, everywhere. By the time I was done, his ears were tossed somewhere in the room, his eyes were no longer in their sockets and his fingers were all gone.
"He didn't last longer than one hour and twenty four minutes." Ares commented, clicking his tongue against his cheek, "that's a shame." He had a cigarette in between his fingers as he exhaled before pushing himself off the ground.
"I thought he'd be stronger," I muttered, "too bad."
"Now, the Russian Mafia's yours." Ares said with a smirk which I mirrored, "it is." He took out his phone and sent a quick text to someone. A few seconds later, a man came in.
"Clean this mess," Ares ordered him, nodding towards the mess on the ground, "but leave the body here."
"Are you gonna take his body home then give him a proper funeral?" Ares asked to which I nodded.
"Everybody needs to know that he's dead and a funeral will do perfectly fine. I'll take his body home, mind helping me?" I asked Ares who shrugged, "not at all. I'll have my men bring his body to your home by an ambulance so that nobody suspects anything. I'll also fake some stuffs like he died of heart attack or something like that," I nodded as he continued, "now go home, I'll see you soon, love." He then lowered his head and captured my lips with his, despite all the blood on me. I smiled into the kiss before breaking away. He pecked my forehead as I muttered, "see you soon."
Entering my house, I found the two familiar women sitting on one of the couches in the living room, the TV on and porn displaying in front of them. My eyes trailed down to their hands which were in their pants. I gagged loud enough for them to hear me, not bothering to hide my disgust. How fucking gross—"Your husband is probably dead and you're watching porn?" I asked Liza, standing a safe distance away from them."What are you saying?" Liza asked, looking up at me while removing her hand from her pants, wiping them on them making me look away, completely grossed out. Guess I'd be fasting for the next few years— "Noah is at a party in Michele Yang's house.""He was shot," I informed, my tone unbothered, "and was taken to the hospital. Now he's probably fighting between life and death while his wife and daughter from an unknown woman are watching porn and finger fucking themselves. Unbelievable!" Not so, actually."Wh-which hospital?" Dana asked, her lips trembling."Go find out by yo
Ares's POV"Where's she?" I asked the second I stepped inside Alexia's house. I was speaking to her over the phone when she stopped talking, she did not even bother to hang up. So naturally, I grew worried. My eyes fell on the two familiar woman standing next to each other. I let out a string of curses when they started walking towards me, shedding crocodile tears."Ares," Alexia' sister who I think her name was Dane spoke up before she started sobbing while I stood there, shooting them an annoyed look, "Ares, baby, look—my dad is dead. He died. Ares, please come console me—my dad," she sniffled, "he gave everything to Alexia before he died! I have nothing! Please, help me take everything from her. Please—""Yeah, that's enough," I cut her off, my eyes darting to the stairs, "where the hell is Alexia?"In her room," her step mother replied, giving me a confused look, "what are you doing here, anyway?"Ignoring the two, I lightly pushed Dane out of my way and rushed to Alexia's room.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked, Ares who was driving as we were on our way to Ares's family's mansion."Why won't it be?" He asked, taking his eyes off the road for a second, glancing at me before returning them back in front of him."I don't know," I groaned, "I don't know why I'm being nervous—" cutting myself off, I shook my head, "—I gotta suck it up."Ares let out a chuckle, "they will love you, they already do. Take Ana for instance, you're her idol and Austin— he told me that he would date you if you weren't already mine.""Austin knows?""I told him only about us but not about the baby," he replied to which I nodded.The rest of the drive was silent. After a few minutes, Ares stopped the car and we both stepped out as we reached the mansion.I was surprised when I was warmly welcomed inside by both Mirabella and Edward. Austin only shot me a friendly smile and a wink while Ana pulled me for a hug. I shot Ares a questioning look to which he shrugged innocently in
Three Months laterAres and I were standing on the aisle, facing each other, hands in hands. I was wearing a long and beautiful white gown with my hair tied into a stylish bun while Ares was wearing a classic black tuxedo."Do you, Ares Salvatore, take Alexia Ivanov as your—" The priest started but wasn't able to complete his sentence.Both Ares and I cut him off, "—we do." The guests laughed at that. Ares smiled at me which I returned.Clearing his throat, the priest continued, "Rings please?"Ben came and gave us the rings before walking away after glaring warningly at Ares who smirked at him in response. He was trying to be a protective brother—how cute.Ares and I slid the rings into each other's fingers without wasting time."You may now k—" The priest was again cut off by Ares who pulled me close to hum before kissing me like we did several times before. However, this time it was more passionate and didn't last long. I could hear the guests clapping and cheering in the backgro
Two years later"Aw we wedy to gwo?" Jason asked me as I was fixing his suit and little tie."We are." I replied and picked him up. Ares was downstairs, waiting for them.Today was Ana's wedding day. She was getting married to Enzo, her boyfriend who she met eight months ago.Ares pecked my lips before picking Jason who wanted to him to hold him.I Jason over to Ares before they both walked to the car. Ares got into the driver's seat while I slid into the seat beside him. As soon as she sat, Ares placed Jason on my lap as he needed to drive."Where aw we gwowing?""A little patience, love." I replied, chuckling, "we are going to your favourite aunt's wedding."Jason only nodded his head as he started playing with my bracelet. After a few more minutes, we arrived our destination.As soon as we entered, Mirabella, Edward, Austin and Xavier approached us."Here my favourite nephew!" Austin said excitedly, taking Jason out of my arms into his own."He's your only nephew." Xavier corrected
Alexia's POV6 years later"Your son crossed the lines today, Mr and Mrs Salvatore." The principal said to Ares and I who were sitting across her."He didn't kill anyone, did he?" Ares asked, raising his brows at the principal."No, of course he didn't!" The principal replied while staring us."Then why are you overreacting?" I asked while running my hands through Jason's black hair. He was mostly after Ares and I did not mind that. It just meant he'd be a fine dude when he'd grow up."He hit my son! My son!" A woman who was standing next to the principal shouted. Her name was Nadja Larson and she was present at the principal's office along with her husband, Marcel and her son, Marcus."Yeah because ‘your son’ tried to touch my sister!" Jason replied, rolling his eyes at the crazy woman."He only kissed her cheek!" Nadja responded defensively to Jason while placing ice on Marcus's wound."Well, he shouldn't have." Jason replied innocently. I fought a smirk which internally praising my
Alexia's POVHumans are humans, they have feelings. Pain, happiness, sadness, love, hatred, jealousy,anger and so on, are part of life.Everyone must have felt at least one or two of these emotions.Then why do they say that I'm emotionless?My name is Alexia Ivanov. Unfortunately, I'm the daughter of the Leader of the Russian Mafia, Noah Ivanov. Being twenty four years old and the eldest child made me the heiress of the empire.I have a younger 'sister' who goes by the name, Dana. She's one year younger than me. I've been trained ever since I was a child unlike Dana who has been treated like a princess ever since she was born.I stared at the man in front of me, who was shivering in his seat. He had his hands tied behind his back."Mr Lacroix, I'm sure you know who I am." I spoke with a calm tone."Y-yes I know who you are. You are the assassin," Antoine Lacroix stuttered, sweat forming on his f
Ares's POV"Ares!" The familiar and annoying voice of my dad rang in my ears making me roll my eyes, sparing him a glance, "can I help you?""Leave your brother, this very instant!" He demanded seriously, his eyes going from me to Austin.I groaned before removing my hands off Austin's throat, "Consider yourself lucky that dad is here.""Vaffanculo stronzo!!" Austin cursed angrily. [Fuck you asshole!!]I rolled my eyes, shooting him an annoyed look, "I'll pass, caro fratello."[Dear brother]"Enough with the fightings you two!You're grown ups but are still behaving like kids!" Dad scolded and shook his head helplessly."It's Ares! He's always beating me, dad. I'm your poor innocent and smallest son! I am beauty and he is the beast." Austin complained like a child despite being a twenty two years old man."You do know that Beauty and the Beast ended up together right?" Ana, who was sipping her coff

Ares, Xavier and I hit the club as planned. Loud music filled my ears as I entered the place. My eyes caught sight of several people dancing—more like grinding against each other, not caring about anyone watching them."Let's go to the VIP lounge," Xavier spoke, his voice barely audible over the music but we managed to hear him because he was close to us. Ares and I offered him a nod before the three of them walked to the VIP lounge. I sat on the big comfortable couch while Ares plopped down beside me, his arm draped around my shoulders which I ignored. I then ordered a light drink, not having the intention of getting drunk."You haven't returned home all day today," Ares spoke up making me look at him as he continued, "you do realise that right?""I know," I took my glass from the man who was holding a tray in front of me and Ares who also grabbed his own, "my dad didn't even bother to call me, you do realise that right?""Proves how much your dad cares about you," Xavier muttered, d
Instead of retuning home, I decided to stay at Ares's and the two of us thought of watching a movie together since we had nothing to do.We crashed on the bed in Ares's room and watched 'The Old Guard' as neither of us had watched it before.Ares had his arms around me as my head was resting on his left shoulder. I never used to do these things before, watching movies together with a guy, that was so not me. But somehow, with Ares, it was different—he was different."I'm hungry," he mumbled which made me chuckle, remembering that he just ate breakfast a few minutes ago, "you just ate pancakes, glutton.""What did you just call me?" Ares asked and I looked up at him to see him raising his brows, staring at me."You really are deaf. Go have your ears checked up.""It's human to get hungry," he said innocently before a small smirk found it's way onto his face, "a fat ass like you should know that.""Did you just call me fat?""Are you deaf?" Ares asked, using her own words against her."
