The Ruthless Billionaire's Secret Wife Is An Assassin

Gabriella, What Are You Doing?

Kael POV

Gabriella is alive. She's alive. She's not dead. How? Why? What happened to the person hired to kill her?

No, it's not that. I'm sure she was really dead. I confirmed it after getting the call last night. After giving them the mansion layout, I was told the job will be done by 8pm. And it was. I got a call a minute after 8pm, from her maid that Gabriella had committed suicide.

Suicide? That assassin girl, Gabi, she must have made it look like suicide. I promised to be home on time. I couldn't hide the excitement in my voice. I arrived at the mansion, with a cop to make sure I don't look like a suspect.

Even the cop claimed she was dead.

But, how did she wake up? What is she, a zombie?

I'm even more surprised to see that she's healthy. The most shocking thing was her calling me 'Mr Vaughan'. Gabriella would always cling onto me whenever she had the chance. But this time, she was avoiding me.

"Mr Vaughan, I got a call from the Pavels. The leader promised to meet tonight at the same club last night" My assistant, Jamie, explained to me. I dragged the jacket down my shoulder and threw it on the bed, before lighting a stick of cigarettes. I leaned by the window frame, staring outside.

"Club? Invite him to the mansion. I want him to see the woman I hired him to kill, looking hale and hearty. How is she able to walk around when she's supposed to be dead?" I asked, staring at Gabriella. She was walking around the garden, with her maid Cheryl. She has never gone outside before. She was always depressed and sad with the way the other maids called her names and insulted her. I never cared anyway, because I enjoyed watching her cry whenever she got insulted.

"I'll inform him of the time and address, Mr Vaughan" Jamie spoke and walked away. My eyes were still glued on Gabriella. She kept smiling, walking around.

"Miss, don't walk too fast. What if you fall?"

"Don't worry, I'm strong" she said to the maid, showing off her hands with no single muscles.

What is she? Stupid?

I immediately got away from the window and slammed it close. I can't even tell why I'm watching her, when I'm supposed to plan her next death. This time, make it happen for real.

Nightfall came quickly, Cheryl reported that Gabriella was in her room, resting after playing for too long. I guess she still behaves like a child.

"You may go" I said to her. She ran out of the lobby immediately.

Just as she left, Jamie walked in with him. The so-called leader of the Pavels. I don't remember what he introduced himself as yesterday and I don't care.

"Good evening to you, Mr Vaughan. I'm happy you got back to us. You must have liked our work" he spoke, with so much happiness and confidence on his face.

"I must say, it's the opposite. I'm so disappointed in you Pavels. Had I known, I would have gone to the Valtors" He flinched when I mentioned that name. Even assassins had rivals when it comes to jobs.

"What do you mean? Gabi did the job last night, she reported to me" He looked confused and worried. Worried that he won't get his money. I kept wearing a poker face, looking uninterested in whatever he was saying or whatever emotions he was trying to show. That's how they always act whenever they want something from someone more powerful than them.

"Gabriella is asleep in her room. She even walked around the garden and ate so much food today. Can you believe that?"

"What? That's impossible!" He sprung up from the chair, shaking his head. He really doesn't believe me. It's not like I can take him to her room to see Gabriella for himself.

"If you want me to hire someone else for the task, I'll do it for you, Mr Vaughan. Gabi is the strongest but, she's..dead"

"Dead? What happened to her?" I asked him. He let out a nervous laughter and turned his gaze away from me. I'm sure he's going to tell a lie.

"She died in an accident last night, after reporting to me. It's really painful that I lost my best person, Mr Vaughan"

It's a lie.

I signalled Jamie to look into it and he gave me a nod. I saw her yesterday, she didn't look like someone who was reckless. The scars on her face was proof that she was loyal and also, she looked not interested in being an assassin. She was being forced into the job.

I parted my lips to say something, then I heard footsteps. It's coming from behind. Who could it be? I sent the maids to their quarters.

The footsteps got closer and closer till she came into view. I immediately sprung up to my feet.

What the f**k is she wearing?!

I turned to the fool sitting opposite me. He was already drooling with his eyes shot wide open.

"Jamie, escort him out" I ordered. Jamie moved towards the fool.

"Mr Vaughan, the..." He tried to speak

"f**k off!" I shot him a death glare. He flinched and left the lobby with Jamie. I headed to the kitchen where Gabriella walked into. She was sleepy when she walked past us, wearing a transparent night dress. It was so short, exposing her lap.

I could see her pants through the gown and her chest... She had no bra on. Her boobs were bouncy and her n*****s were... pink. I should have gouged out his eyeballs before he left. I entered the kitchen and found her standing close to the refrigerator.

"What are you doing?" I asked her. She flinched and I heard a crash.

"f**k!"

I heard her say before she turned to look at me. Gabriella has never said a curse word before. She was so pure and innocent. She avoided the broken glasses that crashed on the floor and got close to me. I looked at her face.

Did she hear my discussion with that man? Is she aware that I tried to kill her?

"Why did you sneak up on me?" She frowned.

Judging by the way she's acting, I'm not sure she did.

"How could you walk around wearing this? Are you trying to seduce me?"

She coughed out a laugh. She started laughing so hard that she threw her head back. She even placed a hand on my chest so she won't fall.

She wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes before looking back at me.

"What would I gain if I seduce you, Mr Vaughan?" She asked.

She's speaking as if she could actually seduce me. Gabriella grew up like a princess in her parents home. She doesn't know anything about seducing any....

I paused when someone yanked my tie downwards. It was Gabriella. She slowly wrapped the tie around her hand, making my face close to hers.

"What are you doing? Get off me!" I yelled at her. I could push her away, but I'm not doing so. It's almost as if I wanted to see what she wanted to do.

Her face got closer to mine. We could literally exchange breath. Hers was so warm and smelt like her dinner. Just as her lips approached mine, I froze at a spot.

My mind was going blank. My heart was beating repeatedly. She's going to kiss me. Her upper lips brushed against mine and stopped.

"Ah" she whispered and released my tie. "I forgot Mr Vaughan hates it when I touch him"

She smiled at me and walked away.

What...what just happened? Did she just.... I lowered my head and ran my palms through my face.

"I got a b***r"
