For Business

HANNAH'S POV

"He made you do what ?" Kerry yelled at the top of her voice getting the attention of our surroundings.

I told her to keep it down, the whole world didn't need to know what we were talking about.

"I have to pick a suitor from his recommendations admist that I have another mission to follow up." Kerry reached over to have a look at the recommendations.

"Damn your uncle took his time. Eww why is Christian here ? He doesn't expect you to marry that psychopath does he ? " Kerry gagged.

I sighed. " If I don't pick at least one. Christian would be my latter. It doesn't help matters that the men on the list don't have a good impression of me." I said sobbing quietly.

"Brian, oh I remember him he was your partner for a mission. You guys were unstoppable on a mission, why not him ?" Kerry muttered calling out the first candidate. "The imbecile kept setting up for failure when we were together. If we get married I might murder him." I said pushing myself back to seat comfortably.

"Oh what about Sinclair The prime minister son. He's handsome and rich and not an assassin like Brian." Kerry insisted.

"Sinclair hates me and at the same time is obesssed with me. He would put a bullet on my head and make sure I survive. It will be a toxic cycle of abuse. I'll pass." I obliged.

"Oh yeah I forgot about that incident. You've dated Sinclair." Kerry recalled. "Exactly, I don't want to be married to him." I sighed.

"How about Cameron ?"

"I kicked him in the balls once he holds a grudge against me for that, such a wuss." I said.

"Zachary ?"

My brows arched, trying to recall how I met this man.

"Ah, oh right I murdered his best friend at the time and tried to poison him. He's a handsome face with a nasty character. He bullied me till I transferred to another school. I despise him the most." I hissed which got Kerry curious.

"Why ?" Kerry asked.

"Out of all the suitors recommend he's the only one who's family hasn't dabbled in dirty money. He didn't have to kill, backstab or lie to get his money. That moron lived such a good life. I envy him even more." I muttered underneath my breath.

"If he hasn't dabbled in dirty money why is he a recommended suitor ?" Kerry asked. "Probably business related I guess. Even though the Mendova's do ill business they still have to make connections." I said looking over at Kerry. "Damien and Eddy are here." Kerry insisted.

"Damien is still scornful that I took his virginity without taking responsibility and Eddy is like the younger version of my uncle. They are both out of the table." I said groaning.

"If your uncle planned to marry you off why did he select these animals ?" Kerry asked. "Probably to gain points for Christian, he thinks I'll settle with Christian. I need to pick one of them and marry them it doesn't matter how much they hate me after 18 months I'll be free." I threw my hands in the hair out of excitement.

"Ah before I forget would you be busy this Saturday ?" Kerry asked. "What's the occasion ?" I asked. "I need you to murder a man for me." Kerry smiled in the most cutest tone.

"What happened ?" I asked.

"Father wants me to court him. This man is rumored to be a woman beater. I confirmed this so I'm not spewing trash. My father said the only way his decision could be annulled is if he ends up dead." Kerry said.

"So you want me to murder your boyfriend." I rehearsed confirming it's what she wanted. "I'm not that cheap. How much are you willing to pay ?" I teased Kerry who took out her purse and dropped a wad load of cash.

"This is 10 grand, is it enough ? I can make it 20." Kerry says as my mouth dropped. "Kerry where did you get all this money ?" I asked.

"Oh don't worry it's just change I found in my dad's pocket." My mouth dropped wider. "10 grand is just change ?" I yelled and then realized that I was in a public setting.

"Kerry this is too much." I said.

"It's what I want to get the job done. You barely get paid. You only work for your family and get treated like trash just accept my offer just this once." Kerry begged until I gave in. "Fine but I want 15 grand." I insisted.

"Of course I'll even pay 20 if this is successful." I looked at Kerry, I guess that innocent face has a twisted mind. "Very well then." I said picking up my phone to go complete a mission my uncle sent me bidding Kerry goodbye at the same time.

After the mission I came back exhausted, I went to report back to my uncle. After my reports I strut down the hallway to my room.

I met someone leaning against my door, he noticed my presence and locked eyes with me.

I rolled my eyes and stood in front of him.

"Get out of the way will you." I yelled at James who suddenly seemed deaf. "Dad said you were going to get married soon ? Is this part of your plan to escape this family ?" James lowered his gaze to mine, I didn't waver I just looked at him with a deadpan expression.

"Yes, now move." I answered.

He didn't so I lift my hand up to push him away but he gripped hold of my hand and pushed me against the wall. "Do yourself a favor and marry Christian. You should know by now you belong to this family." He said as his eyes darkened.

"I'm not some breed you can play with. Neither am I an animal you can disregard. Go back to minding your own business and I'll mind mine." My tone was morbid. It made James take some steps back.

"Fine do whatever you want." He scoffed walking away. I hissed not really interested with what up was wrong with him. "Marry Christian my foot. I rather lick the bathroom floor." I hissed angrily.

••••••

I locked the hotel door behind me. I successfully murdered Kerry's fiance or whatever. I was on my phone telling her the mission was a success.

My eyes cast over a pair of familiar, our eyes instantly locked. I averted mind and retreated to look at my phone. I hope he would ignore me.

"Fancy seeing you here Victoria." I froze on my steps and turned to meet Zachary's.

"Please call me by my first name, it's appalling hearing you say my last name." I hissed at him as he glared right back at me. Once a bully, always a bully.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Jacob said he proposed. I'm glad you refused I wouldn't want a murderer as an inlaw." Zachary commented with a fake smile.

"Then I should get going then." I said about to leave.

"What are you doing here ?" He asked. "For business." A wicked smile appeared on my lips, I didn't know when Zachary pinned me against a wall with his hands wrapped around my neck.

"Who did you kill this time ?" He asked aggressively choking me. I smirked, I find it hard to choke or Zachary didn't have a killers intent in his blood.

He was barley making me cough.

"If I tell you, I'd have to kill you too." I said with murderous intent clear in my eye.
