“Yes, sorry ma’am.” They both gasped. I walk over to the still screaming intruder, and stomped on his head, causing him to knock out. I ripped off his mask, to revel quite an ugly bald man. Older, too pale to be an Italian or Mexican. Probably an assassin of some sort, and obviously not a good one to have his face covered in scars. Tattoos covered part of his face and neck. Curious, I ripped off his shirt. He was muscular, and by muscular, I mean huge. At least 6’4 or 6’5. I examine his tattoos until my eyes wander to one on his chest.

I clenched my teeth, knowing exactly who sent him.

“Inform my parents about this situation. Take this fucker to the basement as well. And make sure he doesn’t die…yet.” I said to the bleeding guards. They nodded and immediately started to drag the unconscious body out of my room. “Oh and get someone to clean up this shit too.” I yelled out, waving my hand at the fresh blood that now decorated my walls

I rinsed off the shampoo and blood from my hair, cursing that I have to shower instead of enjoying a warm bubble bath.

“Oooh he's gonna get it.!”

I finished my shower dried off and went to my walk in closet. Shelves were filled with designer brands. The racks were all filled with mostly black clothes, but I did have some colored clothes here and there for my follicular face. I reached in a drawer, and pulled out a blank tank top, and a pair of ripped black jeans. I walked over to the door in my closet, opening it and revealing my shoe room. (Yes, I have so many shoes that I had to install an extension to my closet just to fit them all.)

My hands grazed each pair as I walked past. If there’s one thing I love, it’s my shoes. Knowing I’m about to get dirty, I threw on a pair of worn out combat boots. I quickly braided my hair in a long French braid that fell at my hip. I made my way out of the room, grabbing a pack of cigarettes, can't survive without this.

The basement is where we kept most of our prisoners, and it’s honestly my favorite place in the house. My father relied on me to get information , and trust me, I was damn good at it.

I finally reached the basement. The door was guarded by four men. They acknowledged me by a quick nod of their head and looked down immediately, My aura scares them and I thrive in it.

“Your father’s already down here.”

The bald one said. I nod and place middle finger on the scanner, and the doors slide open.

“Siri, play Paint the town red”

Yes with this kind of life you need an outlet and music when high is mine…I wonder if it's just me but music hits different when high.

I lit a cigar and puff it while I make my way down 5 flights which leads to different rooms, this house is a literal maze.

I find the one I need, and scan my finger. It beeps in recognition, and I joyfully walk inside. This will be fun. The room is dark, with only one light above the assassin. He’s scolded, pointing to the cigarette in my mouth.

”Trust me father, when the devil comes for me, it won’t be because I smoke too many cigarettes.” I laughed as I leaned against the wall, propping one leg up.

My father rolls his eyes dramatically and makes his way to the prisoner. His head is flopped forward in what looks like an uncomfortable position.

“Wake the fuck up.” My father yells and punches him across the face. The prisoner groans and slowly raises his head up

“Who do you work for?” My father said as he grabbed his face roughly, forcing him to make eye contact. “Go fuck yourself” the prisoner hissed through his teeth. He then threw his head back a bit and spit towards my father's face, luckily he misses it.

“Oh you’re in for it now.”I laughed from the shadows.

My father releases a barrage of punches to his face. He then kicks the chair over so he’s now on the floor. My father walks back to me and leans next to me on the wall. “Go have some fun baby girl.” He grinned.

“Oh with pleasure.” I said finishing my cigarette and flicking it to the floor.

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 150

    “Did you grab food?” My wife said as I got in the car, bouncing excitedly in the passenger seat. “Did I grab the food?” I said playfully as I held up all her favorite and disgusting food she’s been craving for the past month. “God you’re the best.” She said as she snatched the peanut butter and Oreos out of my hand before I started the car and drove to the private airfields. I fell asleep for most of the flight, and woke up to the somber memory of all four of us laughing on our way to Colombia before both of them jumped out of the plane. Well, my brother willingly jumped out. I looked out the window at the tarmac and the surrounding buildings as we landed smoothly. I looked over at my wife, and gently nudged her shoulder to wake her up. “We’re here love. Come on.” I said as I gave her a slight smile. We exited the jet, and I got into the driver’s seat of the black Range Rover that waited for us and drove towards the shore. The beautiful and lush countryside was gorgeous, and I m

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 149

    ***ROMANO’S POV *** 4 weeks later*** We watched as my brother’s coffin was lowered into the ground. My father held my mother as she was crying hysterically, and to my surprise, even the Grey’s were crying over the loss of Ace. Allegra's coffin was buried on the other side of the field, something I know they’d absolutely protest against. I know that they’d want to be buried side by side, hell they’d even be buried in the same coffin if they could. But I kept my mouth shut and my opinions to myself as I watched the rest of the ceremony with my wife by my side. After Ace and Allegra went down to stop Moskov, the Russians grabbed the family members and dragged us down to the basement on a private elevator. Alice wasn’t a blood relative, so she was left behind. Luckily for me, my wife is a total badass, and practically killed all the Russian members at the venue herself. She found the explosives, and she and the members snuck down to the basement, and rigged them to the bottom of the s

    Fuck! Fuck! Fucking Fuck Me!!!! My heart was racing as we pulled up to the estate, both from anger, excitement, anxiety, and fear. I was going to see Ace after 5 months! A part of me wanted to run into his arms, while the other part wanted to slit his neck. As the car stopped, my excitement quickly morphed into anger and sadness. He didn’t want to see me. He didn’t miss me. If he did, he would have written, he would have tried, he would have done something, anything. I needed closure. I needed to know why he completely disappeared from my life like a vapor vanishing in the wind. I needed a freaking explanation, a good one. I stepped out of the car and took a deep breath. I slowly walked up the steps to the house and opened the massive double doors. I opened the doors to see Alice running towards me with a huge smile plastered across her face. She embraced me with so much force, I had to stumble backwards in order to prevent falling on the marble floor. “ALLEGRA! Fuck I’ve missed

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 147

    For the past 5 weeks that he’s been absent from my life, I was starting to think something happened to him, but it was rather unlikely considering he’s one of the best assassins in the world. He was one hard fucker to kill, and if he was alive… that means he forgot about me… avoided me on purpose. At first, I was a complete and total mess, drinking every night until I couldn’t feel the pain in my chest anymore. But after 2 weeks, I broke beyond the point of no return. I was numb, comfortably numb, and I embraced the familiar feeling with open arms. It was all a lie, all of his words, the sweet nothings he’d whisper in my ear, the promises, everything was a fucking lie. If he meant what he said, he wouldn’t have given up so easily on us because there was just a few thousand miles between us. He just… gave up. I was sent on a recon mission, to strictly gather information and to not engage in any combat unless absolutely necessary. But since Ace vanished from my life, I went on a damn

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 146

    It’s been 155 days since I’ve arrived in this frozen shithole. I’m not sure whether it’s the constant snowfall, or my aching heart, but time seems to move unbearably slow here. When I first arrived here, things weren’t as bad as I thought it would be. Ace blew up my phone 24/7, our conversations usually consisted of him telling me how much he loved me following a heated discussion consisting of me convincing him to not take the first flight down to Samara and bring me back home. Some nights were impeccable. We talked for hours at a time as the sun rose in Russia, and the moon lit up the sky in New York. No matter how uneventful or dull my day was, I was always excited to go back to my hotel room because I knew Ace would be calling. But as Issac Newton so eloquently described, with every action, there is equal or opposite reaction, some days were less desirable than others. The belligerent calls were an obvious indication that the distance was driving a wedge between us. Russia was

    “I can’t wait to take you to Italy, Amore. I can’t believe you’ve never been there!” He said as looked at me with excitement in his grey eyes. “It’s amazing, greatest culture, art, food, wine, you’d absolutely love it there baby.” Ace talked about his home with so much enthusiasm, it was like he was a kid on Christmas, and it was absolutely adorable. “Can you blame me? It’s forbidde, De Luca territory. I’d be killed before I even crossed the border.” I chucked as I took another sip of my wine. It took a moment for my words to process in my mind, and a somber feeling spread throughout my body at the fact that I’d never be able to experience it with him. I could tell he was thinking the same as his smile slowly faded, and was sat in silence. “Ace, how long do you think we can keep this up?” I asked quietly after a few moments. “What do you mean babygirl?” He asked with his eyebrows furrowed. “Us. How long can we continue keeping this a secret. I said as I took another sip of my win

    “What do you think you’re doing?” I said as I looked at him with my eyebrow raised. The dim light of the fire around us highlighted his muscular body. His tattoos danced as his muscles flexed. “Our clothes are soaked and it’s cold as fuck. We have to take them off or we’ll freeze. You might want

    “You stupid, reckless-” I started to say under my breath. “Allegra.” Ace said in a serious tone as he started to walk behind me. “Supercilious, pompous-” I said slightly louder, ignoring his warning as I continued to walk in front of him. “Allegra.” He growled behind me, his voice laced with frus

    “So… what’s the plan?” I said as I continued to breathe heavily. “You’re the strategic one… you…tell me.” Ace said between breaths as he stood next to me with his hands on his knees and his back hunched over. “You know…” I said as I stood back up to my feet. “This is all… your fucking fault.” I

    There are two types of women in the world; those who dress modestly for Halloween, and those who use the holiday as an excuse to wear as little clothes as possible. In short, as a slut. Unfortunately for me, I was the latter. You just had to be a slutty little devil, didn’t you Allegra? The Porsche
