The night sky was dark and gloomy as rain fell from the heavens gracing the thirsty land. The rumbling sound of thunder accompanied by several flashes of lightning was not left behind. The moon appeared shrouded by the dark clouds hiding its glow from the residents of the planet earth.
A lone figure dressed in a fitting ninja outfit walked on the empty streets enjoying the rain. Her entire body was in black except for her sea blue clear eyes. Her clothes were waterproof. Additionally, so was the mask she wore.She looked at the watch in her left hand. Her eyes slanted a bit as her face was hidden from view by the mask she wore. She had two hours to enjoy the rain. With every step she took, her heart lightened. It was as though the rain washed away her burden.Lee loved the rain. If not for anything else but for the fact that she could cry freely in the kind of weather. She loved water in all its forms. It washed away her sweat, tears, and blood. It cleaned her body of the filth she came across in her everyday work. Additionally, the sound of the rain was like a therapeutic medicine for her soul.She walked around Vasca city, relishing in the emptiness of the streets. Another reason why she loved the rain was that she hated crowds. Most people fear the rain and its coldness, yet it worked perfectly for her."If the world abandons me, I shall accompany thee. Where the storms reside, my heart lies. There was no grace to the angst that many have no heart to see. Amidst the downpour and thunder, the lonely path I shall walk.As the phases of the moon change, so does my nature. Like the four seasons alternate, my heart camouflaged. If not for how the world went, to its command, I bent. Now walking a lonely path, the storm I embrace. "She recited her favorite words. Two hours flew by quite fast as she roamed around the city. It was finally time for her mission. Her bright eyes turned cold as she blended into the darkness heading for a specific place.In one of the city's highest skyscrapers sat a man at the balcony. He was in a bathrobe whose belts were looped neatly to his waist. A glass of red wine was in his left hand as his right hand held a branded cigarette.The man appeared to be in bliss from how high he looked. The stool that was by his side had white paper with traces of a white powder in it. He looked like a man spending his free time alone in peace, yet that was far from the truth.The room that he occupied was hardly cheap. It was not a place many could afford. His face looked ruggedly handsome and friendly. Despite that, a monster laid beneath the exterior surface. He had just molested a fifteen-year-old girl who was currently unconscious on his bed. That, of course, was not consensual.He had taken a liking to the girl and ordered his men to bring her to his room. Being the sadist monster that he was, he not only molested the minor but also physically abused her. Her blood had tainted the white bed sheets on his bed.The man was not bothered by any of it. It wasn't the first time that he had done this. No law was above him. He had a belief that the law was made for the poor while the rich only believed in the act of paying their way through everything.He, of course, was not the only one with such absurd beliefs. It was human nature to be corrupt. A figure dressed in black stood behind him. Her eyes grew colder with each passing second as she watched the man indulge in the pleasure of the world.She took out a small whistle-like object and blew it into it. An almost unassailable needle flew from it and pierced the man's exposed neck. It took a few seconds for the man to pass out cold. The cigarette in his mouth stayed in place like the glass of wine in his hand.Lee moved swiftly and removed the glass from his hand before he let it go. Putting the glass away, she took out an injection from within her clothes. The syringe was then carefully injected into the man's hand. She felt tempted to split his throat wide open as a painless death wasn't satisfactory, but doing that would alert his guards.Finishing what she came for, she walked further into the room, where she abruptly came to a halt before the bed. Her eyes followed the trail of blood on the sheets until a pale white face was exposed. Without thinking twice, she carried the girl's body into her arms and went towards the balcony.I hope you enjoy your ride to hell. She thought as she held on to the rope that she used to climb up. It was difficult to climb down a skyscraper with an unconscious body in hand, but she managed to make it out.Lee took the girl's body to the nearest hospital where she left her somewhere she could be seen." I am sorry that I can't help you further. I hope you recover from this. " This was her parting words as she turned around and left.The rain has finally stopped falling, and the night was calm once again. The storm has finally passed. Lee walked away from the area as she walked towards the edge of the city where she resides.When she arrived at the door, it opened before she could insert her key. Gentle hands stretched forward, pulling her into its warm embrace. Luca had been worried about the girl. He knew for sure that she was competent enough to do her job, but each time she went on a mission, he would be worried sick for her.Lee chuckled as she embraced him back. "Hey, I am fine. It's not like it's my first time to kill. Besides, you are my teacher. You should know how competent I am. I bet I could kick my teacher's ass if we sparred, "she teased.Luca let go of her and flicked her forehead. " Don't forget that you are still a teenager who has someone to take care of and protect. What am I supposed to tell your little sister if anything happened to you? You know how impertinent she can be, right? She is too clever for her good.The two walked into the small but cozy and warm apartment hand in hand. Luca helped Lee out of her outfit until she was standing before him in underwear. He bent a little and pecked her forehead before sending her to take a shower as he warmed her food.Lee kissed his cheeks in return and left. She loved the man and appreciated his very existence. If not for him, perhaps Lavender and her little sister would not have survived. She could do anything for the man: he knew it. They had each other's loyalty. They were a family.The warm water from the shower washed away the filth that she felt was on her skin. She loved the feeling of water on her skin.She loves water in all its forms as long as it's clean water. She stayed enjoying the shower for almost thirty minutes before she left the bathroom. She soon appeared in the living room towards the smell of the food that was coming from the kitchen.As she stood behind her boss cum sponsor, she couldn't help but admire his fine figure from the back. His broad shoulders flexed as he moved his hand to mix the meal cooking in the pot on the fire. The grey cotton she wore under his apron hugged his masculine figure like a second skin. " Who would have thought that the great mafia leader who was sort after by the entire Nation would be a domesticated figure that cooks and cleans for his family?" Luca was absorbed with his work to notice her presence, but a smile graced his lips after hearing her voice."Well, little lady. Can you blame this
The sun rose from its slumber with the majesty of a king. The tweeting birds welcoming the day were not left behind either. The air was thick with the remnant of the rain from the previous night. Even so, the cocks crowed as the trees swayed to the gentle blowing wind. What a beautiful morning. Lavender opened her eyes and let out a deep breath. She stretched her arms and stood up from the bed. Luca must have already left for the airport, she thought. She went into the adjacent room to conduct her morning rituals. Lee stood in the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for two. A few minutes into her cooking, she heard the soft pitter-patter of tiny feet moving towards her. Two tiny hands engulfed her lower body as it wrapped itself tightly around her. Lee's face lit up with a broad smile. She
She had initially intended to lash out at him and reprimand him for being rude but recalling where she was and why she was there, she changed her move. Standing before the man, " I am sorry, sir. You see, I am new here. I didn't know that the space was private. I thought it was for everyone. I am sorry."Alexander had an opportunity to look at the girl who was now apologizing. It was then that he realized how young she looked. She was probably 17 or 18 years old. What was such a young girl doing in his company's parking lot?"What is a little girl like you doing here? Do you have a driving license? Shouldn't you be in school?" he asked as he lowered his voice. This girl looked like she was the same age as his youngest sister. He couldn't help but soften his tone.She removed the badge given to her two days ago by Nancy and gave it to him. Alexander looked at the badge and almost dropped it out of shock. This little girl was his new secretary? What was Nancy thinking employing such a yo
Alex found himself walking towards the two people talking in the corner. He felt compelled to seek out the laughter that had made his heart skip. As he approached Lee and Alvin, they stopped talking.Lavender looked up at her boss as he stood before them. " Mind sharing the joke? I don't mind sharing the laughter with you. " Alvin noticed how Lee had instantly become uncomfortable in Alex's presence. " Ugg, bro. You ruined the moment. You Ought to stay and talk to the clown and his daughter. I was having fun talking to Lee over here. By the way, I like your new secretary. I am sure we will get along just fine.The two people looked at Alvin with different expressions on their faces. Alex looked at his best friend with a warning glare while Lee had a subtle smile gracing her lips. " Shall we head to the office, boss?" She asked.Alex looked back at his secretary then at his best friend. " You can go ahead. I have something to talk about with Alvin. I want t
His Family.Alexander had a surprisingly smooth day. When he woke in the morning, he had thought that since his secretary was no longer with him, he would have a rough day inducting the new secretary. He was proven beautifully wrong by the little girl. Boy, was he impressed! As he turned off his laptop and stood from his chair, his phone rang, eliciting a dazzling smile from him.“Hello, baby girl. What’s up?” He listened to the person on the other side of the phone smiling. He soon hung up the phone. Taking his briefcase and walked out of the door. He was surprised to find lavender still seated at her desk. Looking at the watch on his left arm, he felt compelled to ask, “why are you still around? Everyone must have gone home already.”Lavender looked up at her boss and responded, “You didn’t tell me what time I should leave the office, sir. I was waiting for your instructions.” Oh. I forgot about that. Maybe because
The week went by quite fast for both Xander and lee. The two have got used to each other’s working habits and worked together very well. Xander had a very relaxed week and was happy about it. He felt that he needed to appreciate his secretary.It was already Friday. The man felt excited about what he was about to propose. He has finally admitted to himself that he was crushing hard on the little girl. He was doing a good job of keeping his emotions in check so far.He shut down his laptop and stood when his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he let out a heavy sigh. He loved his mother dearly and was grateful to her although sometimes she was a major headache.Especially if she was trying to force him into doing something he wasn’t comfortable doing. He picked the phone and listened to his mother informed him about his date with Maria, Masha, or whatever her name was.As the call ended, he felt all his initial light mood disappears into thi
Alex let out a sly smile as he watched the girl almost run off. He chuckled as he finally relaxed. He removed his phone from his pocket and started going through his emails.Time went by until he felt too bored to continue. He was tempted to text Lavenderbut his pride won’t let him. He contemplated for a while and decided to go for a walk at a nearby park. He left his car at the hotel and walked towards the park.The moment he entered through the gates, colors filled his eyes. The surrounding look serene and warm as laughter filled the air. The sound of many people talking filled the air but it was comfortable.The hawkers walked around sailing their items. Stalls were everywhere. There were ice cream stalls, meet stick stalls, fries stalls and other Junk street food. His eyes filled with delight as he headed straight
The week end went bywithout any thing abnormally. Monday, however,came with a lot of drama for Lee who liked to keep a low profile. As a part time assassin,she didn’t like people probing into her life. Especially since she had a ten year old to take care of.Unfortunately for her, it was not her alarm clock that woke her up on that day. It was the boisterous sound of her ringing phone. She let out an irritated sound before placing the phone to her ears. “What’s up old man? It's too early for your call!" She complained.The person on the other side or the phone didn't bother to even acknowledge the joke as he went directly to the point.‘What do you think you are doing exposing Hanna like that to the world? You know the kind of work we do and why she should be kept away from the publ
