Naughty Assassin (R18+)

Chapter 1

[Daemon Haize Constello]

Fixing my tie, I ruffled my hair before taking out my handkerchief and wiping the sweat from my forehead. My fifteen-minute break extended, but it didn't bother me. Her taste still lingered in my lips, my tongue missing her skin and her hands on me.

"Where's my whiskey?" I asked one of my entourage as he lifted the tray he's holding. I was supposed to drink this with her, but I doubt she'll stay awake. Liquid melatonin sure does work wonders, and I'll have to thank Dark for that later.

Bumalik na ako sa party, both glasses on my hand as I spot a certain man.

"Where have you been?" My Best friend, Dark Silvenia, asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nowhere in particular." Inilingan niya lang ako saka sumenyas sa stage.

"The Alliance is delayed." Napatingin ako sa stage to see my mother talk with Dark's father and Kean Amadeo. They seem to be having a fun time, a fun topic, when Kean suddenly started coughing.

"Ganap?" Hindi naman sa tinatamad akong bumuo ng pangungusap, it's just that I don't care about that prick. He can die in front of me, and I won't even care.

"Who cares, men." Dark shrugged. "I don't even want him as an ally."

That explains why we're Best friends. "Whiskey?" I offered.

"Macallan?" He took the glass I'm offering before sipping. The smirk on our faces was evident as we watch Kean cough up blood?

He's the target? How did she mark him? She was with me since earlier! This can't be Sarang's doing, right? It's as if an alarm rang above my head nang sabay naming mabitawan ni Dark ang basong hawak namin. Allowing the glass to shatter along with the shrieks and screams of the guests.

Agad kong nilapitan si mama, protecting her as our bodyguards surrounded us. I saw the windows break as the lights went off. Our guards assisted us out nang magkaroon ng putukan.

It was the same event 18 years ago—the bombing during our alliance attempt with the Villarins. The sounds of the guns and glasses tensed me up. The memory of my Best friend crying was evident despite the smoke coming from the fire surrounding us.

"Aize..." She coughed as I reached for her, a burning pillar in front of us.

"Trust me, Mayre." My hands were waiting for her, asking her to jump over the fire and I'll catch her.

"I'm scared, Aize." She stepped back kaya nginitian ko siya. Giving her a reassuring smile before nodding. The rest is history, she jumped, I caught her, we tried running towards the door, but steel fell.

It was supposed to hit me, but she pushed me away—the bar stabbing her through her stomach. I watched as she coughed up blood.

"Happy deathday to me..." N-no...

It was her birthday...

"Daemon!" Saka lang ako natauhan nang sampalin ako ni mama. Her hands slapping me back to reality. "What's wrong with you?!"

Tahimik lang ako, staring at my hands as the car drove farther from the now burning lair. Nabalik ang tingin ko sa kamay ko, the 3rd degree burn scar from the past still evident in my hand when my mind wandered back to that assassin.

Sarang...

I want to stop the car and go back to that room where the assassin was when another slap landed on my cheek.

"Snap out of it, Daemon." My mother hissed. "If you're reminiscing, forget it. She's dead."

Mama always knows when to snap me back to reality. Napailing ako, looking out the burning building before heaving a heavy sigh. She's an assassin, Daemon; she probably escaped even before the attack... or maybe she was part of the attack.

An attack similar to what killed my best friend, maybe it was better not to have seen her face. Napangiti ako as I tried to recall her skin on mine, my lips on hers, her moans, my grunts. The feeling of ecstasy and her ambrosia scent. It was only quick s*x, s*x not lasting longer than 30 minutes, but it's the best 30 minutes of my life.

Hindi ko alam, but something about her just hit the spot in me, a warm feeling of someone appreciating me. Wanting me.

"So, are we allies with the Amadeo?" Dark broke the silence of the vehicle. His hands behind his head, "Just when I met a chick, I get to lose her the same night. I didn't even get to have her name."

I smirked, pero mukhang nahagip iyon ni Dark as he eyed me from the rear mirror. "You fucktard." Inilingan ko siya, when I feel his agonizing gaze at me, it's as if he's asking for details. "Is she that good na nananahimik ka dyan?"

"Let's say she's..." Excellent? A s*x goddess? A naughty assassin? "a 10."

"Oh? Gusto ko tuloy makilala. What does she look like?" Even I don't know how to answer his question. I myself didn't even get to see her face. "The girl I met is a goddess, black fitted dress, red lips, brown eyes, black and gold mask with a hint of silver roses," I remembered my assassin, her attire, her red lips, black laced up dress, her amber-brown eyes.

"She must be beautiful," Naalala ko ulit si Sarang. Her face inches away from mine, her perfect body, her lip bites, butterfly kisses, and her fingers intertwined with mine.

"Dude, I'm sure you either fell in love or nabitin ka. Is your girl really that good that you went of complimenting my image of a goddess?" Tukso pa ni Dark.

"Ara?"And I TOTALLY forgot about my mother sitting beside me! "You didn't toast because you're busy f*****g?"

"I aum---"

"Finally! My baby's moving on." At niyakap niya ako, earning an earnest laugh from Dark na siyang tinaliman ko ng tingin.

"Moving on from who tita? The last time that man loved was when he fell in love with his cousin HAHAHA!" If I were driving, I would have crashed the car and have him pummel from the impact.

"It's not like I wanted her to be my cousin,"

"Yea, and It's not like you have a choice. HAHAHA!" This fucker really has the guts to joke around that topic.

"Anyway," I sensed his dark aura, a signal that ends his joke. "We may end up assassinating the whole Amadeo Empire."

The whole Amadeo Empire...

"I feel bad for the kids."

"We have no other choice, Mrs. Constello." Dark reasoned out, "If we leave one child alive, the cycle of violence will continue. We may need to release the drug."

Natahimik ako. That drug is a natural killer. Once consumed, they'll be granted 2-5 days before dying from natural causes. It's a drug imposed by the Silvenia's by which only us knows its existence. But it's a mass killer and has no known cure. An innocent may unconsciously consume it and die a slow and painful death.

"I hope you know I disagree with your preemptive measures, Silvenia."

"And it's not the entirety of your decision Constello." Nagkatitigan kami, I never wanted to hurt a single child. I was a victim of those attacks, same as my best friend. "We are in a cooperative play here. The decision depends on the threat level of that attack. Heck, we don't even know if that attack is a warning or if it is specified to one."

And even I don't know if Sarang's target is Kean alone. She can't possibly f**k me if she's targeting a mass audience. Or maybe she's a decoy of another attack? f**k, my mind is playing with me!

"You good, bro?" Dark asked, but my mouth moved on its own. 

I need to know, "Stop the car." I feel their eyes. They're questioning me. "I'm getting off."

"Where do you think you're going?" Inawat ako ni mama, but I didn't budge. Mejo nakalayo na kami from the hotel, but I left her in a room. A room only I have access to.

"I left something important there." 

Why my body is acting this way is a question I can't answer.

She's the first among all the girls I've f****d to make me feel this way.

The first among all the girls to hold my hand.

Her fingers laced with mine...

When the car stopped, I removed my mask and walked out of the vehicle. My mother calling me back but I paid her no mind. 

I want her back in my arms.

Sarang...

You still need to answer some of my questions.

That Scar, Where did you get it?
