Ava was deep in her sleep when she noticed a grip on her neck, she thought it was just a dream when the grip tighten, and she fluttered her eyes wide open. it was dark as she had switched off the light before retiring to bed. she tried to get the lamp but the hand choking her was too strong.
someone with a hood on was choking her, she started kicking and fighting with her hands.she was groaning and the hooded man was also groaning alongside her.even right here when her consciousness was about to slip away, she still wondered why the one choking her was groaning like he was the one getting choked.she stretches her hand towards the lamp she always kept on her bed and switches it on.The hooded man stop choking her and she jumped out of the bed, she ran towards the door but it was locked."Keys!" Ava cried out.she heard the jingles of the keys and she turn back only to see the hooded man with a bold smirk on his face, Ava's room keys were in between his fingers.all she could think about was how to get away from that room, she doesn't know why he stopped choking her and she is not interested in knowing either.the man was still in the room, he had adjusted his clothes, and he stared at her with rage and irritation visible in his eyes."Where do you think you are going, bitch!" he shouted hitting his hands on the wall.Tears flowed down freely from her eyes. the aura around him was too suffocating."Why?" that was all she could ask."You don't get to ask questions" he walks towards her like a predator walking towards its prey."Please, I didn't do anything" she pleaded with tears as she inch back any moment he moved towards her."I hate it when I see tears, and from someone who doesn't deserve my mercy at all, it pissed me off so much!" he said with a husky voice.her back was now on the door, there was nowhere to run to anymore so she stood with tears flowing down freely from her eyes."What do you want?" Ava asked.he stopped in his tracks and she could see his lips twitch in a wicked smile."Your life, do you think you can let me have that?"Ava was quiet, her leg was shaking with fear,"How can she give her life away just like that," she thought."Please, let me go, I never did anything to anyone, I'm just a regular girl," Ava pleaded."That I can't do!" he said with a slight yell."At least you are nice enough to let me know that I will die in your hands today," she said wiping her eyes with the back of her hands.Ava burst out crying like a child, she slowly drop down and sat on the floor hugging her knee.the hooded man stood there watching her, he was supposed to kill her but now that she was crying, he started feeling suffocated to the extent that a tear dropped down from his face, and he suddenly become sad."Who the hell is she to make me feel this type of emotion," he thought to himself.all he does is kill who he was instructed to kill, he had no remorse, he had never felt sad about it.Ava didn't know that the hooded man had walked over to her place as she had buried her head in between her thigh sobbing.he raised his hand and hit her on a side of her neck making her go limp, he search for something to wrap her in as she was only putting on pant and bra.he successfully got a thick coat from her wardrobe."She doesn't even arrange her room," he said slightly disgusted by the disarranged room. everything was scattered around, her dirty clothes were lying everywhere. he sighed angrily,then he called in someone who pick her up and took her to the car he had brought.She was carefully laid on the back seat, and Drexel and Tyler took the front seat."Boss, why didn't you kill her?" Tyler his assistant asked.he rubbed his hands on his chin in thought before he got into the car.his assistant got into the car and started the car engine."I want to confirm something," he said to Tyler."Albertrosso won't be happy to hear this," Tyler warned as he glance at his boss.Drexel had a stone-cold expression on his face, he didn't even flinch at Tyler's assertions."I will kill her after I confirm something," Drexel said as he took out his phone and fixed his gaze on it."What is so important to know about her that you can't kill her just yet?" Tyler asked. since he had started working with his boss this was the first time he had hesitated on a mission and even to the extent of bringing their supposed target home.he glanced at Drexel who totally ignored him."what should I say if he asked about today's mission?" Tyler asked."Tell him whatever suits you," Drexel said nonchalantly.When Drexel decided to go against someone he never faltered away from his decision, he was known as a very stubborn brute both in the known business world and the underworld of total rogues and criminals, and he was counted as one of the most heartless businessmen, gang leader and a notorious mafia assassin.Tyler took one last turn leaving the main city, he took the route towards the woods, he had already dropped Drexel at the company. he had a business to attend to.Drexel had instructed him to take the target to his villa which is located on the outskirts of the city.Tyler was at first reluctant about babysitting a grown woman."If you complain one more time, I will make you regret it," Drexel signed him a warning.He shut his whining mouth and replaced it with a pretentious smile."Yes boss," Tyler said as he step on the accelerator and drove at top speed out of Drexel's sight.****Ava's POV****I woke up with a splitting headache, I look around and thought I was blind, it was pitch dark and I couldn't see a thing, my back hurt from the pain of lying on the cold floor, "Where am I?" I asked myself. All I remember is crying and suddenly feeling the sharp pain of being hit on my neck before I blanked out."Hello, is somebody there!" I yelled out.I yelled again and I was greeted with silence.I knew not where I was going but I struggled to get on my feet, I used my hands to trace the walls as I try to find the door, it seems I have been walking in circles, I couldn't even find the damn door.I tried again as my eyes had started getting used to the darkness, this time I found the door knobs, luckily for me it was not locked. joyously, I quietly creaked the door open and step out, my heart jump in my stomach when I bumped into a huge man with a feature of a bouncer, he had bald hair and an ironed face, and he was not happy to see me."I'm sorry Mister, can thi
Drexel was in the meeting hall with the foreigners, when he felt like someone hit him on his head. He had a hard and aggressive countenance on. "Are you okay?" one of the men asked. "Yes I'm fine, thank you," Drexel did not care to fake a smile.He lifts his hand to his face as he felt hot liquid dripping down his face. He brought his hand down to his face. "Blood!" he said alarmed. He knew what was going on, his forehead was already red from the hit. he wanted to end the meeting as he was afraid someone might have decided to kill her."what if Albert gets to her," he thought.he was absentminded and he was not listening to what the men around him were saying."What's your take on that, Mister Mason," one of the gray-haired man asked.he looked on at them speechless as he doesn't even know what they were talking about anymore."We would see about that," Drexel said nodding his head.All the men at the table were confused by his response as they do not know what he was talking ab
Drexel walked up to her, her long hair covering her face So, he was not able to see a clear glimpse of her face. He squats close to her and slowly removes those long strands of her covering her face. He stare at the little bruise on her forehead which is now a big swollen red patch on her head, he saw the dried blood glued to her skin. Drexel checked his right-hand pocket and brought out a tube in his hand, he had bought it on his way home. He was about to apply it on her head when she flutter her eyes open. As soon as she saw him, she jolted and crawl away from his reach to the corner of the room. She was weak and had no life in her to scream or cry. Drexel stood up and walked toward her, she didn't try to run again. He roughly rubbed the healing balm on her head. Then he stood up to go, and he felt something tug on his trouser, "Please let me go," she whisper almost inaudibly to him. Drexel felt his heartache with a sudden sadness. This feeling is frustrating him so much. H
***Ava's POV **Even when I tried to be strong, I still cried. Why do bad things happen to me? I asked myself. The moment that huge man lock me in, I lay down without a fight. I was exhausted the whole situation made me hungry. I remember I didn't eat last night before going to bed and my stomach growled in response to my thoughts about food. Slowly I draw back to sleep only to be woken by a slight touch of hands on my face.the smell of pines and sweet and a shadow of someone hovered over me.I fluttered my eyes open and they fell on a dark with flickers of gray hair man in his thirties, he wore a white long sleeve and suit trousers, his suit coat hung around his shoulder, and his hair was well creamed and made to cover half of his left eye, he had an oval-shaped face with well shaved defined jaws, his close well-arched brows always look crease due to his never smiling personality, he had a long pointed nose and a fiery ocean blue eyes, he had a peach colored small but full lips wh
***Godfather Albertrosso******A middle-aged man with dyed long jet black hair in his office, he has a grey color suit on and a big cigarette in between his fingers, his teeth were crooked and tainted with stains from tobacco.he puffed out the smoke from his nose as he breathe out with his mouth tightly shut.he's the boss of the underworld, the Capo of the Malvagio clan, here in the central city his words were the law.He's feared by many, including the laws and those that governed the law.he has lots of prominent leaders under his arm, the ones who had come to him for a favor, and once he helps them, they become his pawn forever and when Godfather Albertrosso find them unworthy or not important, he gets rid of them before they become a problem to him.He has an Italian wife, his moll, which he met as a thug, two sons, and one daughter who always fight over their father's criminal throne.To Drexel who sees him as only his business partner, they both respected their title and for ye
Drexel took Ava to a room and roughly dropped her on the bed. "Ahhh" she cried out. Drexel marvels at her complaint about everything. "ish, what a crybaby," he mumbled to himself. After crying out as if he had thrown her down from the top of the mountain, she lay down motionless. "What again?" Drexel asked, if not for this unknown curse that had to bind them together he was never someone that will stoop to anyone's level of understanding. She did not answer him and continued pretending to have fainted. Drexel move towards the big family-size bed where he had dropped her and with one of his hands placed on the bedside slightly above her head, he undid the first button of her oversized coat. She immediately pushes him off her and covers her chest where he had undone the button with her hands. He stood up from the bed and gaze at this little kitten who dares to taunt him. "The next time you play such foolish trick with me I will make sure I pull off all your clothes!" he said w
Drexel was quiet, not that he had nothing to say, he became interested in the woman fighting for the servant who would have dealt with her if he had not shown up in the first place. Tyler tries to get past her to the servant but Ava was not having it. "Take me with her or better still, let her go. Everything happened because of me" Ava pleaded. "enlighten me, how it happened since you dim me punishing her wrong," Drexel said knitting his brows. "She was only asking me not to touch the painting, but... bbu.. but I was so caught up in its beauty that I ignored her plea to me not to touch it," Ava explained, not daring to look into Drexel's eyes for fear of getting caught. "So everything is your fault not hers right?" Drexel asked. Tyler had moved away from the servant and Ava, the servant was now on her kneels sobbing loudly without saying a word. Ava did not respond to his question, even though she was scared of what he would do to her, but if she denies it, the servant alone wi
******Drexel's POV *******When she asked me what the occasion was, I found my tongue-tied, I didn't know what to say to her the only thing that popped up in my head was her death, I'm not the type to sugarcoat someone, regardless of the reason she's still alive and well, was all thanks to the life bound or what it is, that I don't know.I want to make her happy today, my mood had changed a hundred times since I meet her, I was either happy, sad, or crying, right now I feel so hungry even when I just finished eating.Those fucking emotions are what I never had to bother myself with in the past.and here she's opening the door to my locked-up emotions, I won't let that happen.I will find a way and put an end to this feeling, and after that, I will put an end to her miserable life.I'm only doing her a favor anyway, she should be lucky she was given the opportunity to die in my hand. I thought to myself.the table was already set and I sit in the middle of the dining room. I have never
