The Emotionless Bride

Chapter 7

Making it back to my place, I walked straight past the new neighbour who was walking out of his place. I knew he was with the man that was at my dad's house, and I had been watching them on my camera when I was at the hotel. One of them was good at opening doors.

I was too tired to mess around coming in through the walls and in need of a shower and some food.

At the hotel, I got through more information than I thought I would. Some of the guards were in with the Don on trafficking.

They had made it to my list of kills.

Thankfully the Don had sent the guards who didn't know anything to the one warehouse dummy run, I got to f**k with them with the rubber bullets. This made the Don not trust them, so they got left out of the real run.

When it came to the real run that was moved to a day later, the guards had thinned massively. There were only 10 to take out.

I had my darts that had tranquillisers enough to knock them out for the day. They all didn't realise at first with the darts as they were mostly scattered about and then when they realised, was too late to run. I then made my way to the Don's location.

He was sitting in his car behind the wheel, driving himself today. I tranqued him as well, pushing his body over to the passenger side. Drove the car to the warehouse and started to tie everyone up.

I got them all into position on how I will be killing them. The worst will get the most brutal death. The ones who knew and didn't step in would get a quicker death.

After a few days of having my fun, I took the car and drove myself back to my place, leaving the keys in the ignition and door wide open. Someone will take it. I made sure to have a cover on the seat to not get blood everywhere, I can't let the game be given away.

Going round the back, I set the cover on fire. Watching it burn to ashes.

I then made my way in, going through my front door, stripping out of my clothes as soon as the door closed, putting them in the washing machine and switching it on. I walked to the shower and cleaned myself up.

When I stepped back into my room, I took an interest in the box the man had left me. Picking up the note, I flipped the

box open.

Inside was a dress, heels and a bag.

What the f**k do I need this for, never have I worn any of these things and he thinks I will start now, for his engagement to my sister he has another thing coming. Looking at the note, I read it. It was a job, and if I went to the gala ball, I would have more details and get a million in payout.

Shutting the box, I put it to the side. Not a chance would I wear this. I will go in my usual outfit.

I pulled out my laptop and set it up to look up the venue, I needed all the layouts. Thankfully, I managed to stash my bags in places around the warehouse, so I didn't need to sneak in the hotel for it all.

As I made myself some food and a coffee, I looked at the venue. I mapped in my head where I needed to be, and hopefully, I would find out who I was going to kill.

I was in two minds about going as I couldn't be bothered by looking at all the people who would be there. All trying to catch someone's eye, trying to outdo each other in wealth and other mundane things. But the pay was good.

I was also intrigued on who the Godfather wants me to kill when he could just do himself.

I got until tomorrow night to decide.

The next morning, I looked at the note and invite. I sat all day having a lazy day, decompressing from the past few days.

I looked at the venue again, see there were a lot of spots to kill someone, and lots of exits. Hacking into their system, I made sure I had control of the camera feeds.

Giving in as my curiosity got the better of me, I got my outfit ready for tomorrow. My usual outfit, not the dress. No way will I stand out on a job.

There are too many witnesses, and I would be an easy target being seen.

The day of the gala, I left my place early and went and set up my equipment, making sure I scrambled the cameras to

my entrance. I got the gala ball early to give me the day to look it over. I found a place to put my bag with my rifle and looked around the room to check all the exits. Security was weak and easy to slip past.

I got set up after triple checking everything and soon people started to fill in to the ball. I see the sign it was for a charity for children. I memorised every face that walked in, took note of the clothes they were wearing, if they had a tattoo or birth mark on show. Staying on the platform behind the spotlight keeping to the shadows making sure they didn’t know I was here.

The place filled up quickly, my family have not arrived yet. Yesterday I had gone through the list of who is arriving and pulled up their photos to go along with their names, so I know who my target is.

I waited a while longer when I see my new neighbours walk through the doors to the ball. Behind them was my family walking in behind them. Sophia and Caterina, all smug as if they were royals and my dad looking a bit embarrassed. Was that a crown on Sophia’s head? This girl really thinks she is better than everyone.

Shaking my head and keeping an eye on the room I watched them mingle with each other. I started to get annoyed having to sit and watch this lot, how pathetic and boring they was. I was getting ready to shoot them all just for entertainment when the man who set up the ball, Sophia’s new husband to be, finally walked in.

Sophia started to adjust her dress to show more cleavage and quickly wiped off the smug smile replacing it with the delicate helpless doll face. I had to give it to her, if she was an assassin on the ground, she would be good at luring the men to their death with how she can morph her face. Caterina has taught her well.

The man who I only know as the Godfather or soon to be husband of Sophia walked straight passed all the people who moved and formed a line, and he did not look at one of them, making his way to the stage and taking a seat on a chair, an empty one next to him. Taking a seat everyone started talking to themselves.

Sophia made sure she was up close to the stage which she had to fight to get to, as there was at least 300 people here. She kept looking to the stage where the man was and batting her eye lashes to get his attention. I was keeping eye out for a signal or something to let me know who the hell my target was.

My anger was rising as I feel I have wasted my time here, was this a ruse he and my stepsister done together to get me here? Realising this I got angry. Packing up my bag and slipping to the shadow down off the platform I was getting ready to go when the man stood up and spoke.

‘’Welcome everyone, thank you for coming tonight I hope you have donated generously as this will help a charity in need.’’ Everyone clapped and nodded their heads. Puppets.

‘’I also have other news of a great job that was done to the German Don.’’ This got my attention. I hid in the shadows watching.

‘’He is now dead, a great hit person killed him and his men who was trafficking children for large amounts of money, and one thing I do not tolerate is children being abused and sold. Ladies if you can’t handle gore I would look away now.’’ He clicked a button, and the pictures came on a screen behind him. It was all my handy work.

‘’Now this person is the best of the best, even better than me and more creative. I will make sure the job is done by this person who I will be close with.’’ He clicked the button again switching off the screen and the photos gone.

‘’I will also be touring around to all the Don’s as I am very dissatisfied with how sloppy and trusting you are all getting with your guards and letting them get away with things. Like one guard who took 60 million off me, the Don who got the surprise will tell you all.’’
