《Her Revenge》16

|Lea's POV|
If The Italians were also after Vladimir then this just makes the whole thing easier. However, I still needed to take down that other man who were present that day; Paul Estes.
After Alessio went downstairs to have his dinner, I closed the door and sat on my bed with my laptop on my lap.
I needed to know where Paul Estes will be tomorrow so that I could finish him once and for all. I hacked into his system and viewed his schedule.
Tomorrow at seven thirty in the evening, he will be at the 'Starlight Club' to meet a business partner. Perfect. I read some other things about him and found out some useful things I needed to know about him.
There's one major problem though- He is into boys mostly. How the hell am I going to seduce him if he's more into boys than girls? Anyway, I'll deal with that tomorrow. I closed my laptop before going to sleep.

"Are you ready to go?" Arabella asked, making her way towards the black Lamborghini parked in front of the house. I guess it's her car?
"Oh, no that's not my car if that's what you're thinking. It's Antonio's." She said, as if reading my mind.
She smiled at me before getting inside the car. Blake and Antonio got into the same car and drove away. But...what about me?
"You'll be coming with me" someone said from behind me, making me turn around swiftly. There, stood Enzo with his hands in his pocket, staring at me intently.
There's no way that I'm going with him- you know what? Scratch that. I won't go. I'm going back inside.
I barely made it inside the house when I was pulled back outside by him. "Where are you going?"

"Back to bed" I replied, pulling my hand away from his grip, "You see...I didn't want to go anyway."
He smirked, "Is it because you'll be going with me? Are you scared of travelling alone with me?"
I scoffed at his words. If only he knew. "Whatever helps you sleep."
He clenched his jaw at my words but said nothing. I smirked as an idea popped in my head. "I've changed my mind. Let's go." I wanted to annoy him.
Without replying, he walked towards his car and got inside. I hopped into the seat beside him and placed the belt on as he did then he started driving.
"So, Enzo De Luca. Is Enzo your name or is it Lorenzo and Enzo for short?" I asked out of curiosity. He glanced at me for over a second before focusing his attention on the way ahead without replying.
I'm bored. It's been like fifteen minutes since we're on our way to the main mansion- that's how he called it- and I've got nothing to do...other than to annoy the shit out of him.
"Enzo" he replied after what felt like hours. At least I've gotten an answer.
"Nice nice..." I replied, looking out of the window. "So your parents are Riccardo and Maria right?"
I already knew all that but like I said, I'm bored and I wanna annoy him so...I'm gonna ask him questions over and over again until we reach.
"Hm" was his response. I was about to say something but he beat me to it, "stop talking".
"No"
"What?"
"I said, No." I replied, rolling my eyes. What else should I do if not talking? "How long until we reach?"
"Ten" He replied.
"Ten more painful minutes with you...what did I do to deserve this?"

Oh you've done a lot of things to deserve this...for example, Kill people, torture people...
He glanced at me and raised his brows, "You're an assassin and yet,you complain and behave like a god damn child."
A child? Me? Fine...if that's what you want...
"Is ten minutes over?" I asked, "are we here yet?"
"Don't you ever shut up?!" He shouted which made me smirk, "No. Have we reached?"
"For fuck's sake..." He mumbled.
"I want ice cream" I said, "Please? Please? Please? Please?" I kept going on with a series of 'please' like a child would do. He groaned in annoyance before finally pulling the car to a stop.
"We are here?" I asked even though I already knew that we reached.
"No. Stay in the car, kid." He replied, his voice laced with sarcasm as he got out of the car. I got out also and followed him inside.
The mansion was extremely huge, beautiful as well as luxurious. Everybody who were in his way bowed their heads out of respect as he passed though them. He only nodded in response.
I was following him closely behind. I didn't miss those curious and confused looks I was getting as I was making my way inside. He Finally stopped and everybody gathered in front of him.
I only recognize Arabella, Antonio, Blake, Freddy and Izzy from the crowd. They were standing right in front of everyone, smiling at me.
Enzo cleared his throat and spoke, "As you all know, the American Mafia and the Italian have become allies. To seal the partnership, we agreed to exchange one of our own for a while- of course, willingly. Sam, who is one of our best sniper, has gone there for a while... Lea White, one of their best assassin has come here. I expect you all to treat her as one of our own. Am I clear?"
Then I heard an eruption of 'Yes boss' He nodded and waved his hand, dismissing them.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!
8 167Willful Body
A colossal mountain towers above the clouds. Howls and roars reverbate throughout the mountain. On the mountain peak, two men stand silently face each other. One wears a cloak and wields a revolver with mystical runes glowing on its barrel. The other is bare chested and holds a great sword as large as his giant figure. The man with the gun points it at the other man. "Cayden, as one of your friends. Please make this easy for me and turn yourself in." The large man's eyes waver for a second before they quickly recompose themselves. "Come on then. Try to take me," The large man rushes towards the man in the cloak swinging his great sword down as he approaches. The man in the cloak sighs, aims his gun, and fires.
8 82The Man Who Walked in the Dark
Just because it can be found, doesn't mean it should. All things found, all things fixed. Jude Demarco was the best private detective Nicodemia Station had ever ignored. Detective, handyman, medic. He was a bulldog who tracked down every lead and wouldn't let go until the bloody truth died dripping in his jaws. Even if someone got hurt. Even if someone got killed. You lost it? He can find it. When a collector arrives in a private cruiser from Earth looking for a stolen painting, Demarco has to decide if a few dimes are worth dealing with the worst of the worst in Nicodemia Station. It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion. No sane person would take a job that mixed the two. Then again, sometimes a person just gets desperate.
