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
Chapter 29: Didn’t show upZaina’s POVIt had already been two months since he kissed me, and after that, he had never shown up again.Just, like, who the hell he is, right? After he did that, I never saw him again in two fucking months.He took my first kiss, and he was the first man who touched me in the places on my body that no one shouldn’t touch.I feel ashamed and mad. So disappointed in myself because I let him do those things to me.I realized I was easy to mess with, and I was not myself anymore. Out of anger, I punched harder on the punching bag in front of me.How dare he touch me? How dare he to play me? How is he to take claim on me?But why am I annoyed? I am supposed to be happy because there’s no annoying man in my life anymore.Which one does heart punch and flying kick the punching bag slide away?I close my eyes and come down myself; darn, I should forget him since he never showed up.I reached for my water tumbler and drank. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and
Chapter 30: Got YouZaina’s POVThey didn’t notice me yet because they were busy dancing on the dance floor. There were six people on the dance floor, including Vane and Kayley.I saw Jane chatting with a certain man on the sofa, and they looked so happy while talking to each other.Then, on another couch, I saw two men, and a lady was in their lap. Overall, there were four women that I don’t know and six men, and this is the only time that I’ve seen them.I really thought there were only three of us who were going to come here, but it ended up being 14. How nice is that?“Zaina! You’re here,” Kayley energetically called me and stood up when she saw me.All of them is stop what they are doing and look in my direction.“Hi?” I greeted.Vane went towards my direction and pulled me closer to the group.“Happy birthday Zaina,” Kayley greeted me too.The only thing I did was nod. This is all new to me. No one really greeted me happy birthday in my whole life.I don’t remember someone doing
Chapter 31: Watch MeZaina’s POVI woke up in the morning and I already knew that I was not at my house.Well, damn it.As I got out on the soft and wide bed, I groaned softly, damn hangover. Geez I will never going to drink alcohol again.I roamed around the area, wondering where the hell I was. I rolled my eyes after I examined the place. This is obviously a man’s room. It smells so manly.When I thought of something, a soft chuckle escaped from my lips. This feels like déjà vu, as if history is repeating itself.When I lost consciousness last time, this is where I woke up. And now I am here again, staying in this room for the second time.I looked at the door when I heard it opening. And there he is, walking like a king.I can’t help but stare at him. He’s wearing a black T-shirt and slacks like the first time I saw him. So damn hot, wait, why am I complimenting him?A wide grin formed on his lips when he saw me checking him up. What?“I see, you’re already awake,” he said and then
