Delivered To The Devil

Skylar was hurrying home with her delivery bike to meet her mother. ‎ ‎It was late so she decided to use a shorter route that she knew. ‎ ‎Suddenly several rays of light flashed violently across her face. ‎ ‎The car sped past her and she managed to get a glimpse of the person sitting at the back. ‎ ‎"Spoilt rich folks" she cursed as she muttered it under her breath and walked away. ‎ ‎Skylar was working an extra shift that evening when she got a message from her boss. ‎ ‎"Resent order: No. 6 White Frost Estate. Signature before delivery". ‎ ‎"Who the hell orders food by this time, anyways some bills can be settled with the tip" ‎ ‎She sorted out the delivery package and headed for her destination. ‎ ‎She arrived at the gate and looked at the address ‎ ‎"Here we go" she muttered, then she tapped the intercom as a voice roared from the intercom. ‎ ‎"Who are you and what do you want" ‎ ‎"I'm the delivery lady" Skylar fired back as she was irritated by the aggressiveness of the voice. ‎ ‎"Come in" the voice replied as the enormous black gate parted into two creating a passage for her ‎ ‎She quickly drove in to avoid any other form of aggressiveness ‎ ‎She looked around, several bodyguards stood across the door, lined up like a pack of pencil across both sides ‎ ‎The magnificent door finally opened as a cold, intimidating figure with so much aura walked out the door. ‎ ‎All the guards quickly bowed not daring to raise their heads untill he permitted them to ‎ ‎He waved his left hand and all of them raised their heads once more. ‎ ‎He took a quick look at the delivery lady ‎ ‎"Typical" ‎ ‎Skylar took just one glimpse at him and quickly recognized him from the vehicle that sped past her that evening. ‎ ‎"Acting like you own the world" she muttered as she walked towards him. ‎ ‎"Boss should I take care of her" his assistant asked. ‎ ‎She didn't know who he was, at least for now. ‎ ‎"No, I'll handle it" ‎ ‎"Ok boss" ‎ ‎She reached him as he looked at her till she felt shivers running down her spine. ‎ ‎"What did you say again" he asked in a tone that made her to regret what she said yet she pretended to be bold. ‎ ‎"Acting like you own the world" she repeated. ‎ ‎A cold smirk escaped his lips. ‎ ‎Everyone knew what that meant but yet he spared her to everyone's astonishment. ‎ ‎"Bold" he replied ‎ ‎"The package?" ‎ ‎"Signature first" he replied him sharply. Like who was he to order me like that. ‎ ‎"I can see you are really persistent in your job" ‎ ‎"Why shouldn't I" ‎ ‎"Hand the package over" ‎ ‎"Signature first. It's my boss's order. You think you can get away with this like the last time. No signature, no delivery" ‎ ‎Really I was proud if my speech and myself. ‎ ‎He raised his eyebrow at me and I gave him an "I don't care" look. ‎ ‎He stretched his hand for the pen and the signature book. I gave him the book as he looked at me and signed in his space. ‎ ‎I handed him the package and one of his guards got it from me. ‎ ‎I could tell from their faces that they were all surprised as their boss's reaction. ‎ ‎I headed back to my workplace to sign out before heading home. ‎ ‎Skylar went up with her normal every day routine after her encounter with "Dante, the Mafia lord". ‎ ‎She didn't even know his identity so she thought she had just delt with another rich folk. ‎ ‎Life was not easy for her and her mother yet she lived it to the fullest. ‎ ‎Dante entered his study room and opened his laptop. ‎ ‎The first thing he saw was "Skylar Ashford". ‎ ‎He leaned back and looked intensely at the screen as if trying to bring her out of the device. ‎ ‎"Marcus" ‎ ‎"Yes boss" ‎ ‎"Get me every details of Skylar Ashford before sunset" ‎ ‎"Okay boss" he replied as he bowed and stepped out. ‎ ‎He went back to work. ‎ ‎Skylar got another package to deliver to No. 6 White Frost Estate. ‎ ‎"Sir this is all the information about Miss Skylar Ashford" ‎ ‎"Miss?" ‎ ‎"Yes boss, she isn't married" ‎ ‎"Interesting. Why is her father's space blank?" ‎ ‎"There were no records of her father after his sudden disappearance" ‎ ‎"Encrypt the vault and input her records into the confined unit and send the password to me personally." ‎ ‎"Any leakage of the password will cost you a lot". He concluded as he continued with his operation. ‎ ‎"Sure boss" ‎ ‎She rode her delivery bike to the estate and tapped the intercom, silently praying for a smooth delivery this time. ‎ ‎"Special delivery" she tried to sound calm, sweet and nice, but one part of her knew this was not gonna go well. ‎ ‎She prepared herself for the worst. ‎ ‎"Come in" ‎ ‎The voice wasn't as harsh as the last time but it was still rude. ‎ ‎She drove into the open space made available for her and parked her bike Infront of the building. ‎ ‎Dante quietly walked out of the mansion, his aura filling every bit of air remaining. ‎ ‎All heads were bowed as he walked towards Skylar. ‎ ‎"We meet again" ‎ ‎"I just came to deliver a package" Skylar responded as she handed over the papers for his signature. ‎ ‎Dante looked at her ‎ ‎"I am not expecting any package today, so how come about this one" ‎ ‎"I don't have any explanation for this package sir but I was told to deliver it here" ‎ ‎Dante signed the papers and got the package from her ‎ ‎He opened the package and a flicker of terror flashed across his face. ‎ ‎"What is this?" ‎ ‎Skylar was confused ‎ ‎"I don't understand" ‎ ‎"I won't repeat myself, what is this" ‎
