MAFIA ASSASSIN'S LOVER

What do you do when the truth you know isn't what it seems? What do you do when you are just a chess piece in someone's game? What do you do when you fall in love with your enemy Do you pull the trigger Or do you embrace your heart desires My name is Alena, Codename The Faceless, I am ranked second as one of the strongest assassins in the underworld and this is the most dangerous mission I have ever taken. There is no guarantee I might come back alive but even if I don't, I won't have any regrets because this is personal. CHAPTER ONE THE RAT The sound of the shower running could be heard from the bathroom, sliding the door open, a pair of beautiful legs stepped out of it into the quiet hotel room, the beautiful sculpted face with a pair of hazel colored eyes stared at the mirror, looking at the cold reflection staring back at her, she felt satisfied. As one of the most powerful assassins in the underworld no one has ever seen her true face so moving around is easy because no will suspect such a beauty to be capable of killing. But being who she is, she has gotten use to disguises making it difficult to identify her, sometimes she even forgets what her real face looks like that is why she looks at her face on the mirror after a bath so she doesn't forget, it serves as a reminder of who she is and where she comes from. The buzzing sound of her cellphone woke her from a dazed state, picking up the phone from the table beside the mirror,she slides the answer button and a mechanical voice speaked ' Alena you have a new assignment, you have been assigned to clean up a rat, you must eliminate before it flees the country ',click, the sound of the call ending echoed in the quiet room. Standing up, picking up the black leather pants, white shirt and black leather jacket from the bed, she dressed up, wearing her black boots she walked out of the room not even taking up to five minutes. Stepping into the elevator she pressed the button for the ground floor. Standing behind her was a couple, throwing fugitive glances at her, especially the man whose lustful eyes are blatantly on her making her blood boil. Suppressing the urge to gorge out his eyes she stood motionless, only after the ding from the elevator sounded did she walk out without even sparring a glance at them. Heads begin to turn as soon as she walks out of the elevator, making the whole floor come to a stand still. Walking towards the reception, I stand in front of the drooling receptionist; " Here is the room key , I'm checking out out", still in daze and drooling the boy kept staring at me. Waving my hands in front of his face he snapped out of his state, and I repeated "I said I'm checking out", he immediately took the key from me after muttering a few 'sorry ma'am ' he began processing the check out procedures which took less than two minutes and said ' Have a nice day ma'am '. I said thank you and walked a few steps before turning around to the boy and saying "By the way kid, you've got drool on your face, you might want to clean that up". I smirked and continued walking out of the hotel leaving the poor receptionist dumbfounded and embarrassed. I hailed a taxi in front of the hotel, getting in the back seat, I said 'To the airport ' and the driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said ' Ok ma'am '. There was no traffic so the ride was pretty smooth. Getting out of the taxi I took my small duffel bag, gave the driver a few dollars and walked into the airport. Taking out my phone from my pants pocket I checked my flight schedule only to see that I have just twenty minutes until boarding, taking quick steps towards the security checkpoint, I got through it without much hassle. Boarding the plane I try not to think about what I was going to do because there's no room for sympathy in my world only blood. It took four hours to get to city Z, flagging down a taxi, I got in and kept my bag beside me and said to the taxi driver ' Hilton Hotel' , casting a glance at me through the rearview mirror he nodded and said ' yes ma'am '. He turned on the ignition and started the car, driving out of the airport, still casting subtle glances at me through the rearview mirror as I was looking at the scenery through the window, I ignored his glances because I was already used to such looks from people. Pulling the car to a stop in front of the hotel, he quickly got out of the driver's seat wanting to open the door for me but unfortunately the valet beat him to it and opened it , taking my luggage from the back seat and handing it over to the bellhop. Handing twenty dollars to the driver, I walked into the hotel following the bellhop towards the reception. Standing in front of the receptionist, she smiled professionally and said the hotel standard greeting ' Hello and welcome to Hilton Hotel, how can I help you?, I asked for a suite with a good view of the city and she smiled and handed me the keys to the room, I took my bag from the bellhop after tipping him. Getting off the elevator and walking towards the room, I opened the door and walked into the room, placing my bag on the bed, I walked around the room checking every spot for bugs before going into the bathroom to check as well. After making sure it's clean and closing all the windows, I lay down on the bed facing the ceiling and waiting until the night falls. A subtle vibration sounds out, taking out my phone I read the message " Thomas Reed, age 43, currently at Finet Motel , just booked a train to City S. Find him and eliminate him, there was a photo of a man attached to the message. I stared at the picture of the target looking into his eyes for over a minute. I left the bed taking the duffle bag with me into the bathroom, taking a out a short black wig and a baggy jeans with a hoodie, I wore the jeans and hoodie, packing my long hair and tying it up in a French plait, I wore a wig cap before putting on the wig. Walking back into the room with the bag that contains my clothes, I walk towards the window and adjusting the wig in front of it , I pick a small box that contains a colored contact lens putting it in my eyes, I looked at my self in the mirror starring back at me was young teenage boy with black eyes. Walking towards the window, it was already dark, sliding the window up I climbed on it looking for a way down, since I was on the sixth floor it was easy for me to get down. I flipped over the window rotating mid-air and landed on the balcony on the third floor before jumping down on the ground behind the hotel building. I walked through the dark alley into the darkened street. It didn't take long for me to get to the hotel, I spotted a coffee shop across the street from the hotel, I walked in and took a seat beside the window, watching the hotel entrance I sipped my latte waiting for the target to appear. Forty minutes later the target walked out of the building with a bag, he looked around the street fugitively and turned left walking towards the subway. I stood up dropping a few dollars on the table and walked out. Following the same direction of the target I caught up a few paces behind him , I slowed down a bit so he won't notice there's someone trailing him. I followed him into the crowded subway station getting past the security check , I saw him going into the male restroom, I followed into the restroom and saw him taking a urinating. I walked towards him and stood behind him, he looked up at me and said with a disgusting grin on his face " What kid", he chuckled ' you never seen a big guy taking a piss before ' he said while showing off his tiny di*k to me. I felt disgusted, not only was he a snitch he was also a pervert, I felt no remorse in killing because it felt like I was promoting world peace. Taking out the silencer gun from my bag , I shot him right in the head blowing his eyes out , I gave him no time to react as he was still laughing at me. Pressing two fingers on his neck I checked for a pulse, feeling none I brought out my phone and took a picture and sent it to an unknown number to confirm the kill. Putting the gun back into the bag, I left the restroom and closed before putting a sign that says maintenance. I dragged my hoodie down and walked out of the train station, and join the crowd blending in. CHAPTER TWO BLUE EYES For the past two days since I finished my assignment and came back to Italy, I only had five routines, Sleep, eat, bath, workout and sleep again. I have basically been indoors and I see nothing wrong with that because I don't have many friends to hangout with, my job description doesn't really give room for many friends. But I do have a rather weird girl named Lilian who declared herself as my friend after I saved her from a few gangsters that wanted to r**e her while she was coming back from work. My phone begins to ring playing that annoying ringtone which Lilian has set up so I'll always know it's her calling whenever the tone starts playing ,"I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, life is plastic, it's fantastic you can touch my..."Without allowing the song to finish playing I answered the call and signed ' speak of the devil and she calls'. Alenaaaa! How could you busy my calls for the past two weeks, what kind of friend are you, don't you care about me? What if I was dying and the only thing that could save me was a call from you? You would have allowed me to die huh! How could you? The screaming voice coming from the phone kept repeating the same question through her screams. Unable to take the noise, I had to shut her up by answering " Lilly you know I would never allow you to die on purpose", unfortunately saying that didn't help as she started another round of screaming "So you mean you will allow me to die unknowingly! How could you?!. 'Alright I'm sorry, I apologize for not responding to your calls, but you should also know I love my quiet time , are you allergic to silence and a good quiet time. What could be so important that you are disturbing my quiet time with your persistent calls, mmh'. Alena I'm not sure what's more impressive about you, is it your ability to blend into the air or your ability to avoid conversations. You're not allergic to people, are you?. Letting out a soft chuckle " that's a cute question very funny". So to what do I owe this morning disturbance, I ask. 'Well mm there's a party tonight and I want you to come'. I appreciate the invite but I won't be coming. Come on Alena, it'll be fun , you can't stay hidden in your room forever, you need some fresh air '. Trust me Lily, I'm getting enough fresh air so I don't need more . Stop acting dumb Alena you know what I mean, I promise it will be fun. You know I don't like crowded places especially social gatherings and I'm obviously not the party type. "Please my Ally, pretty please please" I could already envision her making puppy eyes. A long drawn sigh escaped my lips, and my shoulders slumped in defeat , I said 'okay ' in a tired manner. I could hear the squealing coming from the other end of the phone. She must be doing a happy dance right now, ' I thought ' chuckling at happy sounds. Alright I'll be there in thirty minutes so be ready, I'm coming to pick you up. What! ' I exclaimed, you've got to be kidding' I said and she immediately hung up the call. I started pacing around the room, then I opened my closet looking lost because I have nothing to wear, I kept staring at it and thinking to myself ' what the hell my are going to do at a party, I haven't been to a party in my life before except for the time I had to kill someone at a club' ,No no that doesn't count since I was sniping from the roof top of the opposite building '. Letting out a long sigh , I focus on the closet again, scanning through the rows of shirts, pants and dresses feeling anxious , what do people wear to parties? 'Taking out a few options, I held them across my neck and stood in front of the mirror. ' A button down shirt'? Not too formal. 'A pair of jeans'? Nope, too casual. Ahhh! I cried out in frustration , sighing loudly I sat on the bed still looking at the closet filled with clothes but had no appropriate dress for a party. I don't even know what kind of party I'm going to, I don't even know the dress code. Still looking at the closet I spotted a black bodycon dress that stopped mid-thigh , I smiled in victory on having found the perfect dress, placing it on the bed , I hurried to take a shower. Walking out of the bathroom after four minutes, I took the dress from the bed and wore it , looking at myself in the mirror, it fits perfectly, I turned around looking at my back and shoulders that were open. I must admit I do look sexy as fu*k, I thought to myself smirking. Wearing my black six inch heels, I let my wavy long dark hair down from the messy bun and fixed the loose waves , I took a deep breath and exhaled, ' it's just a party, what could go wrong'. The door of my apartment shook under the heavy knocks." Get the hell out, let's get going" Lilian shouted. ' In a minute, I'll be done soon , I hurriedly opened the door for her before she breaks it. The door wring open almost immediately with force, thank God I back away unless that would have hit my face. She sauntered into the room like she owns the place. ' Don't break my door with your hard knocks '. Her foot paused and her eyes widened in surprise, her eyebrows shot up in appreciation. Looking at me from head to toe , a wide grin fell on her face, showing how impressed she was. ' You look absolutely beautiful , you will definitely turn heads tonight, Looking up at my face, she said with a genuine smile on her face as if to convince me " for real Alena you look breathtakingly beautiful". I blushed a little at her blatant praise, I felt a little self conscious but happy she approved of my dress. I muttered a little 'thanks' and smiled before grabbing my black purse with little shiny crystals on it , taking her hand, we walked out of the apartment, locking the door behind us and getting into her car. Stepping into the fancy club where the party was hosted, the light flashed and swirled around us, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the dance floor. The air was thick with the smell of sweat and perfume, the hum of conversations from different people mingled with the loud music, making me frown and wrinkle my nose in disgust. Their faces glow with excitement as they move to the beat . Lillian grabbed my hands, giving it a squeeze, I turned toward her, facing her, 'I'm going to dance', she said before disappearing into the crowd on the dance floor. I watched her go, feeling a mix of trepidation and excitement as she merged into the sea of dancing bodies. I stood there for a minute, before deciding to go to the bar and get a drink, trying to walk through the dancing bodies towards the bar, I wondered if I made the right choice of coming to this party. Sailing through the crowded room, dodging bodies and outstretched arms swinging everywhere I finally got to the bar, it felt like bliss after walking through the crowd, I caught the bartender's eye as he passed a drink to a girl with blonde hair. Turning towards me, he asked 'what can I get you sexy' and I said ' I need something a little strong ' I need to live a little, I thought to myself. Knowing I have high alcohol tolerance after passing the training test, I asked for something strong and still I can handle it. He smirked at me and chuckled a little, winking at me and said ' whatever you want sexy'. I paid no attention to his obvious attempt at flirting. Handing my drink to me, I grabbed a seat by the bar , watching the people dancing on the dance floor, turning behind me I looked up at the VIP section, sitting there staring right at me was the most handsome man I have ever seen. He noticed me staring back at him and let out an evil grin that seemed dangerous yet alluring at the same time. I turned around facing the bar as my heart skipped a beat. Without noticing him moving from the VIP section down to the bar, I gulped my drink and asked the bartender for another. Taking the refilled glass I turned to go get Lilly from the dance floor so we could go back home as I wasn't really enjoying the party, I bumped into a hard chest filled with muscle, spilling my drink. I looked up from the hard chest to the tall face looking down on me. At 5'8 I was pretty tall for a woman and my heels adding to my height was a plus, but the tall Demi-god, perfectly sculpted male specimen, with piercing deep blue eyes stood in front of me without moving. Looking up at him, I muttered under my breath "you should be crucified because it's a sin to man-kind for looking this handsome". His grin widened even more as if he heard me , which made my eyes widen with surprise. 'I'm so sorry for spilling my drink on you' I apologized to him. Planning on walking away, I heard him say 'And what if I don't plan on accepting your apology, what would you do'. My heart skipped again and felt butterflies in my stomach, how can his voice make me feel this way? I wondered but after processing what he said, I snapped out of the unrecognized emotion I was feeling and scowled at him. Finding his answer offensive, I asked ' what is that supposed to mean ', he smiled and said ' you know exactly what I mean mio amore '. He walked towards me raising his hands,he smoothed the frown lines on my face and said ' you shouldn't frown your beautiful face Tesoro '. Putting his hands down and walked back to the VIP section where his friends were looking at us gapping with mouths open at the scene. I stood there frozen for a few minutes, trying to figure out what just happened. I looked back up at the VIP section and saw him sitting with his friends, one of them said something and looked at me which made him growl with anger, when our eyes met, he seemed to calm down immediately. Taking my eye off him, I scanned the crowd looking for Lilly , spotting her I immediately signaled for us to leave. She walked towards me, taking me by the hand before exiting the club, I turned back catching a glimpse of him again before hearing a sound of glass shattering and punching, it seems a fight broke out and many others started leaving as well. Getting to the car, Lillian drove me home after saying thanks for accompanying her, telling her it wasn't needed , I walked into my apartment, lay on my bed still thinking of that blue eyes. CHAPTER THREE MEETING BLUES EYES AGAIN The morning light streamed through the window as I stood in front of it, holding a freshly brewed coffee, sipping it slowly while trying not to think about last night. Suddenly a buzzing sound of the phone disrupted the peaceful atmosphere of the environment. Picking it up from the kitchen table, I answered ' This is Alena ', a voice replied Alena, it's Alexis, the boss wants you in the headquarters immediately, ' click, line went dead immediately. I dropped my coffee on the countertop and walked into the bedroom.Taking a shower, I grabbed something from my closet to wear. Grabbing my motorcycle keys I work out of my apartment driving to the outskirts of the city, i drove along a lonely road, after riding a few miles I diverter towards a small deserted dirt road before stopping in front of a man holding a G15 rifle aiming at me. Turning off my bike, I got off and walked towards the man. Standing in front of him, looking into his eyes without even a flinch as he aimed the gun at me. Turning my attention from him, I looked up to the left spotting the security camera up on the tree , I tilted my head slightly and looked coldly at the camera. The closed gate buzzed open, as I walked along the familiar corridors, memories from my childhood came flooding in. " Here little one" a hand reached out to me as I layed on the grass watching my house with my parents inside burning to the ground, I looked up at the unknown man stretching his hand out to me, shaking my head slightly I refuse the hand but he stopped me by saying " Do you want the people responsible to pay, do you want revenge little one, I can make that happen only if you are willing" he said and offered his hand again. Looking at it for a while, I took it, he smiled in satisfaction and introduced himself as 'Alfonso Romano, and that was how I was thrown into an assassin training ground at the age of five. Snapping me out of my daze start, I walked into an elevator, pressing the third floor button, it began to move down into the underground facility. Getting off the elevator, someone was already waiting for me. 'Alena it's so good to see you ' the bubbly guy said. ' Alexis where is he', I ask looking at him, clicking his tongue in disappointment at my lack of excitement in seeing him , ' he's inside his office' he replied. ' Can you stop being so stiff Alena , the least you could do is smile at me', or don't you miss me' , he ask wiggling his eyebrows. I ignored him and walked towards the office in the middle of the hallway, knocking before opening the door and walking right in. ' Sir you asked for me ' I said to the middle aged man sitting behind the desk smoking a pipe. Raising his head from the document he was reading, he looked at me with a small smile and said ' It's been a while little one, I hope you've been well ', Yes sir, I replied immediately. Letting out a small laugh, he said, ' Don't be too stiff little one, it's not good for such a beautiful face'. I stood there without saying anything, ' there's an important assignment that I need you to do', this is a dangerous mission so you need to be careful always', he said before handing me the document his was reading. Looking at it; ' Target-Alessandro Devon De Luca, current Mafia Lord of Europe. Father - Nickolas De Luca and monarch of the De Luca Clan. ' There's no picture of him sir'? No, we couldn't find any picture of him as no one has ever seen his face. I nodded in understanding, ' Your job is to infiltrate, gain his trust and gather inside information about everything he does for me, do you understand'? Yes sir, I understand. Good. I have prepared an identity for you, I made it by adding some truth to it , to make it less suspicious when they run a background check on you. Handing me another file, I open it to check the information. Name - Alena Sanche Age- 25 To Parents - orphan Family - None Grew up in Glory land orphanage in London Studied Business management and accounting in Birmingham University London. Bachelor's degree in management and a PhD in accounting. Relationship - single. Closing it, I looked at him and said,' Sir this information is too real'. He nodded and replied, ' That was the intention, to make it more believable and prevent further scrutiny '. I understand sir.'Your application has already been sent to the company for a position in the management department ' , so prepare for an interview tomorrow. Yes sir, I replied. You can leave now, he said waving me off. about to open the door, he suddenly said , ' I know this is a personal for you and you want revenge for your family but you should look at the bigger picture and don't do anything stupid for now'. I still remember the promise I made to you, so trust me when I say you'll get your revenge soon enough. Saying nothing I left the office going back to my apartment. Getting into my apartment, I took off my jacket and placed it on the rack by the door. Holding the files , I took a seat on them and placed the files on the dining table. Picking up the target file, I opened it again as a wave of anger flashed over me, making my hands tremble from holding it in. I looked at it once more, there isn't much information about him, dropping it back on the table, I stood up and went to the bedroom grabbing something comfy to wear before drifting off to sleep. Waking up the next morning, I checked the time 7:20 the interview is by 9:00 so I have an hour and forty minutes to get there. Quickly taking a bath, I picked a black pencil skirt, paired it with a white shirt and a black blazer jacket and four inch heels. I stand in front of the mirror, fixing my hair and looking at myself before walking out to the living room, picking up my resume attached to the information given to me yesterday from the dining table and walking out of the apartment locking the door. Hailing a taxi , I walked hurriedly into the company. Getting off, I paid the driver before walking into the massive office building, looking around, I walk to the receptionist and smile at her, ' Hi my name is Alena Sanche and I'm here for an interview' giving me a business smile, she replied ' Hello, I'm Christina, you can take the elevator to the sixth floor, you'll see others when you get there. And good luck with your interview. Following the directions, I got to the sixth floor, I took a number tag from the pile and wore it. Luckily I wasn't the last person. After waiting for 30 minutes, It finally got to my turn, I walked into the small conference room. Sitting on the designated site I introduced myself, "Good morning gentlemen , my name Alena Sanche, I am applying for a position in the management department", I stated with a small business smile. The two interviewers introduced themselves " My name is Tom and this is my colleague George", looking at my resume Tom asked ' it says here you lived in London and studied there, what brought you to Italy when you could have gotten a good job over there with such qualifications? I replied, I wanted a fresh start sir and besides this company is one of the best and biggest in the world, I like perfection and this company has all the qualities, I confidently said. Nodding in agreement, George smiled at me and said ' Welcome to D&C Corporation Miss Sanche, looking forward to working with you, he said shaking my hand. I nodded and said thank you, turning to Tom who stood up and shook my hand saying 'Welcome'. Walking out of the room into the elevator heading down to the lobby. Stepping out of the elevator after it stopped with my head slightly down, I bumped into a hard chest, looking up to apologize, I was stunned seeing the same blue eyes. He looked down at me and said "it seems you love my chest so much to bump into it every time Tersoro"
