“I heard you are the best assassin in the whole of Boston and with this results you have shown, I no longer have a doubt”
“As long as the pay is good, the job is going to be worth it. It is my policy”, Bianca replied as she pushed a stray hair away from her face to the back of her ears.
The man that hired her had a grin on her face that she didn’t like but for the amount of money he had paid for the past two jobs, she stomached the disgust she felt. It was not that the man was ugly, on the contrary, he was actually outer worldly handsome with his very enrapturing green eyes. What she was not comfortable with was his aura, it was deadly…a bit too deadly for her taste.
“Perfect!”, he exclaimed as he leaned back on his seat. “I have a new job for you.”
“I am sorry to decline. That was my last job for you.” She turned around and started walking away.
“I will pay you $400,000,000 to do this particular job”, his voice dripped of pure hate that made Alesaa’s blood curl*. Why would anyone pay so much to have someone killed?
“Make it $800,000,000 and I will do the job”, she replied, turning back to face him and mentally telling herself it was going to be her last job with him. Cynical or not, she was not going to pass up that amount of money because of some weird feeling.
“Deal. But the job has to be completed first before you get the pay.”
“What exactly is this job?” she asked and a cruel smirk creeped its way onto the man’s face.
“You are to kill a man named Marco De Luca.”
Alessa woke up from sleep very early the next day and quickly rushed to the bathroom to get dressed and start the day, she had a new job and she had to prep herself on everything relating to this new target named Marco De Luca.The name sound oddly familiar but she waved it aside because the names are also popular names. Few minutes later and she was out of the bathroom and fully dressed with her hair packed up in a messy bun. She picked up her phone and made a phone call, the person on the other end picked up on the second ring.
“Any information on the person I sent to you yesterday?” she asked as she sat down at her in-built work station and propped open her laptop. She went ahead and type in the name ‘Marco de Luca ’ on goggle while listening attentively to what the other person was saying.
“I have not seen half of that information you just said on the internet, this man is doing a really good job of staying hidden. Send all the information you have on him to my work email.”
She ended the call and went through the watered-down information of Marco that was available on the internet. All she could gather was that this man was really wealthy, highly influential and a narcissistic whore who leaves a trail of heart-broken women in his wake.
“Disgusting pig”, she sighed before opening the new message that popped up on her screen, her informant had dropped something for her and she wasted no time to go to her mailbox. She opened the attachment and was surprised yet completely appreciative of how detailed the information there was. Apparently, Marco De Luca was multi-billionaire who owned enterprises and conglomerates all over New York and the world at large. He was a very important man and what caught the attention of Alessa was that he was a mafia…actually, he was the mafia leader as of yesterday when his father openly declared his resignation from the leadership position and announced him as the new leader. This had caused an uproar in the world of the underground because Luca was known for his ruthlessness. No wonder her hirer was willing to pay such huge amount of money to kill him, he really was worth all the fuse.
She stared at her screen, carefully studying the picture of Marco De Luca shown there, his tone, honey brownish skin spoke loudly about his Italian roots. His hair was packed into a ponytail, giving his symmetrical face a sturdy look that scream ‘serious but sexy’. She felt a pang of sadness that she would have to remove such a handsome person from the face of the world very soon.
“Hopefully he has a kid or two somewhere that he had passed along these beautiful genes”, she grumbled to herself as she scrolled down on her laptop and to find to her dismay that he was single and childless but console herself in the thought that she wasn’t making a fellow woman a widow at an early age.
She studied the places he visits regularly but there was no particular routine which she could trail him with, so she decided to go to his most frequented bar, a place called Opal bar. But first, she would have to pack some of her stuff and lodge in one of his biggest and most frequented hostels with the hope that luck would shine on her side and she would bump into him at one of these places.
With a working plan in place, she quickly stood up, packed a small traveling bag with her clothes, some painkillers and emergency stitching kits, some money, her laptop and chargers. And of course, her instruments of work. She threw in two guns, two ten inches knives, some syringe, knuckle bracelets and a couple of other things she believed would be of importance to her and left her small cottage house, making sure to off all the light and lock all the windows and doors before heading to her car. She had over half a billion dollars waiting for her and she could not afford to waste any more time. The plan was simple, kill Marco de Luca in three days’ time.
Rafael walked through the hospital’s quiet night corridors with a numbness in his chest. The antiseptic smell was sharp, fluorescent lights humming overhead like too many eyes. He pushed past the automatic doors of the maternity wing, clutching his phone, his heart full of hope.His hand shook slightly. The new life waiting inside, the baby’s first cries–he’d imagined it all. He had practiced the words he would say to the new born. He reached for the room number on his phone’s screen. His boots made soft thuds on the tiles, each step echoing. Nurses with soft voices passed by, pushing carts, closing curtains around beds and speaking in hushed tones.The lullaby of monitors and ventilators in the distance, the occasional call over a PA system–“Stat to Room 16, Stat to Room 16,” “Need a nurse in pediatrics”–all signs he was close. He opened the door, expecting the smell of new skin, clean blankets, soft cries, the glow of a mother’s tired joy. Instead, he froze.There in a bed marked by
The night after Vittorio’s board meeting carried a strange silence through the mansion–the kind that felt heavy, like the air itself had weight. Isabelle sat in her private lounge, the wine on her glass untouched with her reflection quivering in the red liquid like a ghost. Her father had held a meeting. A strategic one, no doubt–filled with men who spoke her language of power and blood. Yet, she hadn’t been invited.She tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth twitching with restrained fury. “He had the meeting without me, Vincenzo?” She asked, her voice quiet, almost calm. Vincenzo stood a few feet away, hands folded respectfully in front of him. “Yes, Signora. The Don wanted to handle it privately.”“Privately?” Isabelle repeated, her tone sharpening like a blade drawn from its sheath. She turned her eyes toward him, cold and glimmering beneath the chandelier’s light. “Since when am I not part of private matters in this family? When did that fucking start? Ohhh, so I’m an
The long oak table gleamed under the golden light of the chandelier, polished to perfection, yet marred by the weight of the men who sat around it. Cigars burned low in crystal ashtrays, their smoke curling lazily towards the ceiling, forming ghostly spirals that blurred the edges of the room. Vittorio sat at the head of the table–silent and immovable. His tailored suit was a perfect shade of charcoal, his cuff links glinting like silver eyes whenever he moved.The others watched him carefully, measuring their words, waiting for the smallest sign of approval or irritation. Behind him, two guards stood still as statues, hands folded neatly behind their backs. “We have the opportunity to take the De Luca territory now.” One of the older men said, breaking the silence. His voice was gravelly from years of smoke and betrayal.“Their financial network is weak, their alliances uncertain. All they have left is the loyalty of their foot soldiers. If we move fast—”“—We could take the northern
The night had finally gone still. Marco guided Alessa down the long corridor, away from the metallic scent of blood and the muffled screams that still echoed faintly behind closed doors. The air felt heavier the farther they walked, like the walls themselves were holding their breath. She didn’t speak, her pace was steady but slow. Her eyes were distant, fixed somewhere beyond the hallway.The earlier rage had left her hollow and her body was still trembling from the exhaustion that followed adrenaline. When they reached her quarters, Marco pushed open the door. The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of a lamp near the bed. It cast long, soft shadows across the floor–a kind of quiet that felt almost foreign in a house built on chaos. “Sit.” He said.Alsssa hesitated then sank onto the edge of the bed. Her hand instinctively drifted to her abdomen again, pressing lightly against it. She tried to hide it but Marco saw. He stood for a moment just watching her. His suit jackets hung
The corridor leading to the lower chamber was quiet except for steady rhyme of their footsteps. The lights above flickered weakly, casting a pale, amber hue across the walls. The smell of smoke and gunpowder still clung to the air, mixed with the faint trace of iron from the night’s chaos. Alessa walked beside Marco, her jaw clenched and hands curled into fists.Every muscle in her body trembled with the kind of anger that came from helplessness. Their perfect plan–the carefully orchestrated party meant to reassert control–had turned into a massacre. Every gunshot, every scream from the ballroom still echoed in her mind. Marco said nothing, his thoughts just as heavy. The sound of his boots against the marble floor felt too loud in the silence.He had seen too many disasters, but this one had a bitter edge. Too many questions. Too many ghosts rising from the ashes. Then, without warning, Alessa froze. Her breath hitched. A sharp pain ripped through her abdomen like a blade twisting de
The room stank of iron and fear. Matteo hung between two men like a broken marionette, wrists tied behind him with blood dripping steadily from his lip. The flickering bulb overhead cast long shadows that made the walls look like they were closing in. His shirt was half torn, his once slicked hair plastered to his forehead with sweat.Every breath came out like a rasping plea. “Please,” he muttered with a shaky voice. “Please, I don’t know anything, I swear.” “Liar.” Isabelle spat. She stood in front od him, very inch of her painted in fury–hot fury. Her blood-stained arm was wrapped in a bandage from the earlier attack but she didn’t care. The wound only fueled her rage. Her men surrounded Matteo like wolves around a wounded prey.The sound of her heels echoed as she circled him slowly, her expression calm but her eyes blazing. “Do you know what you ruined? Do you fucking know?” She asked. Her tone was soft, dangerously calm. “My father’s name. His legacy. The entire family’s reputa
