R I O N A
As I sat in my car my mind drifted away to the fact that my dad was in a critical condition and was currently in the operating room getting operated on.
My palms suddenly got sweaty from the anxiety and I rubbed them hard.
I looked up to the roof of the car and took a deep sigh and silently prayed for God to help my dad come out of this successfully.
I looked down and it made me chuckle lightly because I know I had no right to ask God for anything because I know all the things I've done in my life but the funny thing is everyone only remembers spirituality when they have problems, so what is the guarantee that my prayers will be answered?
The passenger door opened and Leonardo hurriedly got into the car before slamming the door shut.
"I've told my mom to leave
R I O N AHe's dead?Thalia grabbed my arm and burst into tears while I didn't know what to feel. I wanted to also cry but I just couldn't.We walked out of the doctors office and into the waiting room where Leonardo and my mother waited for us.Leonardo looked up at me with hopeful eyes but I slightly shook my head and he released a depressed sigh.Thalia stayed glued to me and couldn't control her sobs, I didn't know how I could comfort her because I was also in pain.A while later, Leonardo came back with three cups of coffee in his hand and gave Thalia and I ours then one to my mother and then he held the last one in his hand."I'm really sorry." Leonardo told us both before Thalia hugged him.As we sat down my phone buzzed and it was a call from boss, I excused myself and walked far away so they cou
"Leo!" I heard someone faintly call. "Leo!" The voice called again. My head went from the gravestone towards the direction of the voice. A blurred view of Thalia came into my sight as I stood at the corner of the venue. "It's time to say goodbye to her." Thalia informed me. I couldn't come to terms with the fact that Riona was no longer with us and more so that she died right in my arms. "You have to. You were her only real friend." Thalia said in a bid to encourage me. I looked up at Thalia who forced a smile as our eyes met. If she can be so strong after losing her sister then I can definitely do better. After taking a deep breath I followed behind Thalia who lead me
"Please..." Her tiny voice cried in a screeching sound."Nothing personal Anna, but I'm getting paid." I replied in a monotone before bringing out my knife."No!" She cried as I stabbed her hard in the gut with it.Her lifeless body fell to the ground, eyes opened, blood spilling out of her body and into the wooden floor.I stood up and examined her lifeless body on the wooden floor and a smile creeped into my lips before I walked out of the small wooden house.After sitting in the car, I first took off my hand gloves then placed my gun into my duffle bag then brought out the bloody knife and stared at it.
R I O N A "Where's Thalia?" I questioned both Cassidy and Iris."We haven't seen her since you left." Iris raised her small hands in surrender."She left the same time you did." Cassidy added before taking a big bite out of her burger."Where did you go Rie?" Iris asked after a huge sip out of her coke."Work." I answered with a smile and wiped off crumbs from Cassie's face who in return smiled at me."I don't know what you do but I love it if it keeps bringing us goodies." Iris said in between munching fries."Lia says you do bad things but that's a lie right Rie?""I take care of people my darlings." I said, knowing they wouldn't catch anything."I love you Rie.""Me too Rie."They both said and hugged me. For a moment, a tear almost dropped from my eye
R I O N A"Rie wake up." I heard a voice faintly say.I turned to the other direction to get rid of the noise but it persisted."Rie wake up!" I heard the voice clearly shout.I groaned as my eyes flutter open, revealing Iris in her towel."You have school Rie, go take a bath!" She commanded.I sat up in my bed and gazed at the floor which looked fascinating at the time.After a yawn escaped my lips, my body carried itself from the bed, stripped myself off my clothes and wrapped myself in a towel.I took a bath, combed my caramel brown hair and tied it up into a ponytail then put on a grey hoodie and black jeans.After I was done, I grabbed my glasses from the table, put it on and hurried downstairs and found the whole family was done with breakfast."It's
R I O N A"You're late Davis!" He thundered without even looking my direction sending shivers all over my body."I'm sorry, my sister had to talk to me." I apologized." Sit." He commanded as he turned his chair around to face me.I immediately did as I was told to avoid any further anger that he might have against me."This is your next target. All the information you need to know is in this file, they want it done as soon as possible, so I'd say in two days will do." He passed a sealed brown file to me." I got a job this week already, Katherine was killed just two days ago." I reminded him."You are our best asset and we pay you richly, don't complain and get this done within two days!" He ordered with a sharp tone." Yes sir." I slowly nodded and exited the office."Yikes, another one?
K E I T H"What's going on over there?" I asked Leonardo Leo Coleman, the first person that spoke to me when I transferred here."Just some girls arguing, nothing major." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.I paid no attention to the fight until I heard a rather familiar rude voice."That voice sounds familiar." I informed Leo, whose uninterested face suddenly sparked curiousity."We can check it out now." He scratched the back of his dirty blonde hair.We put our books into our bags and headed towards the direction of the screams and gasps.Because Leo was popular, the students made a small path for us, causing us to go right into the front of the whole drama."I won't be so nice." I heard Riona mutter to her before casually walking away.The mass of students decre
R I O N A"Rie, you don't have to be so violent you know?" Thalia frowned."Why are you sad?" I questioned her."Kids are scared of me because my sister is a body breaker! The jock in the basketball team and those girls you singlehandedly thrashed." She shook her head in distaste."He was trying to force himself on me and I didn't beat those to a pulp, they tried to spread a rumour so I could be expelled." I defended myself."Let's just go get Cass and Iris." She changed the subject and looked out the window.So glad I hid that file under the seat so she wouldn't see them.I started the car and immediately, Thalia turned up the radio probably to avoid talking to me.My heart breaks when she treats me this way.I took a deep breath and drove to my siblings sc

R I O N AHow is it that he still trusts me?It's weird how I just confessed to being paid to kill his mom but yet he's still trusts me?I need to make this work, I have to.After securing a nice parking spot at my undercover agency, I took a deep breath before I walked into the store."Good day Riona!" He greeted from behind the counter before looking into his computer. "You're not supposed to be here today until you complete your work?" He questioned." I need to speak to the boss and it's important, tell him I'm going in." I informed him."Kay then."I pushed through the doors leading up to the boss' office before knocking on his door."Come on in Davis!" His voice so high pitched and sounded rough.Seems like he's in a bad m
L E O N A R D OI leaned against the wall as I waited for Riona to return from the doctors office with a positive response but after waiting for a while and no response, I decided to go down to the reception."Good day." I greeted the nurse at the counter."May I help you?" She asked in a polite tone but kept her eyes glued to the computer in front of her."Yes, I came with Riona? Riona Davis and I noticed she tried to pay for something else even though the operation fee has been paid for, is there a new charge or something that she still needs to pay?" I inquired and the nurse looked at me before typing away on the computer."There is no extra charge, I think she isn't aware that the fee has been paid already but I think she will be informed by the doctor in charge of her father's case." She informed me."Okay then, thank you." I
R I O N AWhat did Keith mean by that?Was it Keith that made my mom find us?Is he in cahoots with that woman?These were the questions running through my head all day at school.Maybe I could tell Boss about what happened with Keith and he can help.Yes, I'll go there after I leave the hospital."Hey!" I heard Leonardo's voice call as I approached my car."Hey." I greeted with a quick smile."Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look."Um..." I tried to understand what he meant by that question."You looked really worried today whenever I saw you like something was always on your mind, do you want to talk about it over coffee or something?""Oh," I realized. "I'm going to the hospital right now so I do

R I O N AMy family or Leonardo?What do I do?Leonardo has been nothing but good to me since I met him and all I've ever done is misunderstand and hurt him. How can I just kill his mom?If I don't, the agency wouldn't even hesitate to drop me and hunt down my family to make me regret my choices.Why is this happening?"Riona!" I heard a small voice call from downstairs."It's important!" Another tiny voice announced from downstairs.After taking a deep sigh, I picked myself up from the floor of my room and cleaned myself before walking casual downstairs."What's all the fuss about?" I cleared my throat before yelling at all of them."Well a lady showed up on our doorstep and Thalia let her and now she's in the bathroom." Iris explained while
R I O N A"Now kids, if you want to fight try to make it not so obvious! I had to stay in school an extra hour because of you two." Mr Joe warned."We're sorry, Mr Joe." I apologized while shooting death glares at Darcy."I'm the social studies class rep, I had to do what he says!" She defended herself when she looked at me."There's no need to apologize Darcy, instead they should be thanking you." Mr Joe told Darcy. "Look how happy both of them look." He pointed at Leonardo and I."Anyway, I'm off. Have fun you two." Mr Joe waved us and left with Darcy.I took out my phone and saw a text from Lia saying Mr Joe asked her to get the girls and then another saying she reached home already."Do you want me to take you home?" Leonardo asked and I shook my head."My car's still here because I hav
