Chapter 21: Taking her on a dateZaina POV"What are you doing here?" I asked him, but instead of answering my question, he flashed his killer smile that can make any girl fall to their knees.Thankfully I'm not like those girls, I will never fell in to his smiles."I'm asking you, so answer me," I asked him again, which made his face turn serious."Change your clothes; I want you to go out with me." Did he say seriously, go out with him?Why so bossy?I narrowed my eyes at him, and I was about to close the door of my house, but he stopped it with his one hand.So, what happened was his hand was stuck in the door, so I immediately opened the door again."Are you alright?" I asked him when I saw that he was holding his injured hand."No." He answered sparingly and did not look at me. He is still looking at his hand.I sigh deeply and look at him intently."What do you want me to do then, for you to be alright?" I asked while raising my one eyebrow at him.He immediately looked at me an
Chapter 22: The MafiaZaina POVI stared confusedly outside the car's window when his car stopped in front of the old but large and spacious mansion I had been to before.The place where I witnessed them killed two men."What are we doing here?" I asked him as I removed my seatbelt.He also removed his seatbelt, and instead of answering my question immediately, he smiled first.What's with his smile? He seems so happy today, huh?"Let's go outside this car first. Shall we?" He said, too, so I nodded my head.We got out from inside his car, and the first thing I saw was the lined-up Men-In-Blacks outside.They all stand straight while bowing their heads. Seriously? I felt him snake his arm around my waist, so I looked at him."I want to show you my world. Welcome to my Empire, Sweetheart," he sexily whispered in my ear.I can't help myself but smirk at what he said. I'm not new to this kind of environment.I've been experiencing the worst situations."Let's go inside. There are so many
Chapter 23: Piece of Cake.Zaina POVHer eyes widened from what she heard.“What?! Are you serious?” She shouted at me in disbelief.That caught the attention of the people around us because of her shout. I nodded at her.“Yes, I’m sure,” I sparingly replied.She went near to me and held my shoulder.“Do you know what you are saying? Costelino is a dangerous man. You are no match against him.” She said to me.I shook my head at her and patted her hand on my shoulder.“You’re underestimating me, Franz, just watch and learn.” As I said that, I stood up and went to the place where we saw the top one of the assassins of this mafia.This will be great, and it will lessen my boredom.“Zaina, wait!” Franz tried to stop me, but I continued walking towards them.I stopped in front of the three of them, the two guys checking me from head to toe and back. While the top one just coldly looks at me like he doesn’t care at all.A small smirk formed on my lips as I watched them all look at me.“Vaug
Chapter 24: The BetZaina POVHe started to attack me, and everyone cheered for him. I'm avoiding his first attack, I must admit he's fast, but I'm damn faster.He was slightly surprised that I was able to dodge his attacks. I avoided his attack first because I was observing every move he made.It seems like it pissed him off the way I avoided his attack. This is freaking good. Now I can see one of his weaknesses."Fight! Don't just avoid!" He angrily yelled at me.I ignored what he said, and I continued to avoid every attack he made.I have observed him carefully. He is easily angered. When I talk to him, he is always emotionless, but when he is in a fight, he immediately feels emotion.That would be a huge problem if he were an assassin. I stopped avoiding him and made him punch me. I did it on purpose; I knew that he would feel proud and happy.That will be a distraction to him.One of his weaknesses was his emotions and feelings. He couldn't control the anger he felt.His blow hi
Chapter 25: HeadshotZaina POVAs I opened my eyes, I pulled the trigger of the gun I was holding. I looked carefully at where the bullet hit. I slowly smirked because of what I saw.Still the same, eh? I look at Franzine beside me, who is watching me with eyes wide open and mouths parted.She's holding a telescope in her right hand while looking at me in disbelief."Woah, headshot? You're so good," she said in amazement and disbelief.I smirk at her and look at the target once again."Let's play a game, Franz," I said to her"What? No, no, really, no. You're making hard bets," she declined.I look at her and raise an eyebrow."Don't worry, I'll be easy on you," I assured her.I saw her swallow her own saliva and nod later."So, what's the deal?" She asked me. I pointed the human board target on her line."If you hit or shoot the near center of its head, to its both shoulder and to its heart, I'll give you 20 thousand each, and if you hit it all, I'll give you 100 thousand," I said to
Chapter 26: Give inZaina POV"What do they look like?" I whispered to him, so he looked at me confusedly."Look like what?" Slow-minded, I gave him a meaningful look. So, he realized what I was talking about. His face becomes serious.He let out something in his pocket, a photo, and showed it to me. I saw two men in black suits walking into a dark alley."We captured them earlier, and that was the reason we left. And now, because of the dumb people of this mafia, they have escaped," he said to me.I look carefully at the photo. It's okay. I give him the picture back and step back away from him.I look around the place and wonder if they escaped and freely roamed inside this area. One thing is for sure: they were just here where Vaughn is located.Their mission is to kill the mafia boss. I stopped looking around and stopped in a certain place.Got yah.There were hiding, but damn, I can clearly see where they are. I saw them hiding in the same place, and I found this amusing. I though
Chapter 27: Torture ChamberThird Person POVZaina had already lost her appetite because of Vaughn’s sudden appearance. She said thank you and goodbye to Lina, who was silent right now.The lady came back to her senses and said you’re welcome, dear. She nodded at the lady and started walking away from the area without even looking at him.Vaughn watches her back, and when he realises that she’s leaving, he follows her.“Zaina!” she heard him yell, but she still did not look at him.They are walking in a big hallway.“Amara!” he called her again, this time using her second name. When she heard him say that, she stopped walking to look at him.“What did you call me?” Zaina seriously and yet coldly asked him. No one calls her Amara, and no one should call without her permission. He’s not an exception.“Amara,” he repeated.Zaina glared at him.“Don’t call me that or else…” She warned him.He smirks and starts approaching her. He stopped right in front of her and raised an eyebrow at her.
Chapter 28: KissZaina’s POVDid you ever feel the feelings of falling down into a deep and dark infinite hole? Are you feeling that you can’t move on from something else?Fear, loneliness and hatred, that was only feelings you will feel.“Don’t kill them, please, I’m begging you,” a lady in her mid-twenties begged.The man in front of her just smirked and gave her a sinister look.“So, you choose them over your own life?” He asked that lady.She was slightly taken off guard by what the man had told her, but later, she nodded repeatedly.“Yes, kill me instead. Just don’t hurt them, Viol,” the woman begs him again. The smirk on the man’s face widened.“Okay then, it’s your choice.” As he said that, the man shot her in between her eyes. A yell of agony filled the whole room.“NO!” A man yelled. He was holding a child. That young girl is not me. I watched that armed man kill the family I know.Bloodstained our clean floor. Blood came from the family who adopted me when I was a child.I
