Warning:Violence, Murder.
"Oh it's you." Napabalik ako sa ulirat nang marinig ko ang baritono nitong boses.
"A-uh.. yea, it's nice to see you again." He gestured me to sit down kaya naman ay umupo ako sa kaharap nyang upuan, napapagitnaan namin ang bilog na lamesa na may sapin na puti.
There's also a 2 wine goblets on the table and a wine.
"Just so you know, My friend Irene and Arseen set me up on this. Are you also?" His voice were calm yet it's deep and baritone, so manly.
Makes me want to spread my legs.
"Uh, actually Irene was my sister." Bahagyang napataas ang kanang makapal na kilay nito.
"Ah.. I see, you're the chairwoman of the company she's been handling correct?" I slowly nodded and gave him a small smile.
Totoo naman talaga, Irene made me the chairwoman of our company.
"What's your name by the way? I forgot to ask when I first saw you." I held the gaze of his light grey eyes.
It's intimidating, so hypnotizing.
"It's Maeve." I smiled at him, he nodded.
"I'm Vladimir."
"Russian huh?" I smirked and shakes his head.
"And if I am?" I shrugged at his question.
"Doesn't matter." I answered.
"Never heard of that before." Napataas ako ng kilay.
"Why?" My brow furrowed as I leaned forward, itinukod ko mga siko ko sa lamesa and I clasped my hands with each other.
"You know, Russia issues." he took a sipped from his wine before speaking, "they said russia is full of mafias they don't want a hellish life." He glanced at his wine before back to my eyes.
"Are you a mafia?" I asked innocently though I know the answer.
"Will you back out?"
"Is mafia life a hellish?" I asked back.
He smirked, "No. It's a choice if you choose a hellish life, but for me a life of a mafia is good because you're surrounded by luxury yet dangerous. Not hellish. If I were to have a woman, I won't let her live a hellish life." His eyes were serious, I can see the sincerity.
This is it, this is my way to my mission. I'll get close to him and kill my father and then he's next.
"Then I won't back out." I held his gaze.
"You sure?" I nodded.
"Use your words, kitten. I want to hear it from you." That did something to me, I felt electricity on my core up to my stomach.
"I won't back out, Vladimir. You're interesting. I don't care what life you had, as long as you keep me safe." He smirked.
But it was all a lie, I won't back out because of my mission.
I don't care about what life he had because I can fight.
This is all just for my mission, my loyalty lies to the organization.
I won't be attached, there will be no feelings involve.
Just pure mission.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
I smiled and shook my head, "No."
"Let's order then."
Ang sarap sapukin.
He gestured the waiter and the waiter approached us with two menus.
We ordered and the waiter left* to prepare our orders.
"So, you're a businesswoman correct?" He raised a brow.
No, im assasin.
"Yeah, and you are? What do you do other than mafia thing?" I took a sipped from my wine.
"Business." I nodded as i swallowed the wine, and place the glass wine on the table.
"I see." I glanced at my glass wine, may natira pang kakaunting wine Doon.
I traced the handle of the glass wine.
He clicks his tongue before speaking, "I've been wondering, you're successful and smart I suppose? Why ended up in a blind date? I'm sure there's so many boys out there lined up for you." I glanced up at him and chuckles.
"Not interested to them." I shrugged, he smirk.
"Why?" He raised a brow.
"Not my standard." I stared at him and he chuckles.
"Ah I see, what's your standard then?" I frowned and sigh.
"Let's just say," I stared at his eyes "someone like you."
His brows furrowed, "Like me? Why is that?"
"I like older men, mid 30s or early 30s. They're matured and capable of handling relationships, responsible and most importantly successful and financially stable." I seriously said.
It's true, even if I didn't tell Irene that older men was really my standards.
As I said, they're more matured that 20s men. They think about the future, they know how to handle a relationship and especially they're financially stable and responsible.
"I'm quite impressed, most of your age was looking for their same age but you're different. You like older men because you believe they're responsible and can handle a relationship well and most importantly financially stable. Well I can tell, you're being practical about financially stable." He said and took a sipped from his wine.
I chuckled, "Why would you settle for less? To be practical love can't feed you, love can't give you life. It's better if you have both, love and money. But love doesn't fit you its better to have money."
He let out a soft laugh, "damn right." I smiled and bit my lip.
The waiter came to us with our orders and he placed it on the table in front of us.
We started eating.
"Now tell me about yourself." I ate the steak from my fork.
"Like?"
"Anything, hobbies or anything you want to tell me." He simply said.
"Uhmm, my hobby is piano. I play piano, and reading books also painting." I took a sipped from my water.
"Quite talented huh?" He chuckled while eating.
"What about you?" I asked and I chewed on my food.
"Well, I do swimming, golf and tennis. But swimming is my hobby."
Sunod sunod akong napatango.
Akala ko sugal.
We chitchat about random things while eating.
9PM when we decided to go home.
We're now outside the restaurant, the restaurant.
"I guess I'll see you next time?" He raised a brow.
I chuckled, "I'll see you next time."
"Can I.. uh, have your number then?" He took out his cellphone and handed to me.
I smiled and took his cellphone and I dialed my number and saved it.
"There you go." I gave back his cellphone and he put it on his inside coat pocket.
I smiled at him before I opened the door of my car.
I was about to hop in but, "Maeve." He called me.
Damn, why does my name sounded good whenever he's saying it?
When I even hated being called by that name.
"Yes?" I turned to in.
"Take care." Was his last words before he opened his car door.
I nodded and gave him a smile and I hopped inside my car.
Nakita ko na pumasok na din sya sa Black Range rover nya.
I drove away.
Nakita ko sa side mirror sa kanan na He took a different path kaya nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagdadrive at binaling ang atensyon ko sa Daan.
Napatingin ako sa cellphone ko nang mag ring iyon.
I sighed.
I didn't answer the call, but I went to an abandoned area.
Pagkababa ko ng kotse I saw a man standing, leaning against the wall hindi naman sya kalayuan kaya
He was wearing a black long sleeve turtle neck with black leather pants and coat with his black leather shoes, he was also wearing a rounded hat and rounded black shade glasses.
"What is it, Orzei?" I raised my brow at him.
"Follow me." He pushed himself away from the wall and started walking.
Sinundan ko lang sya hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang gate na may mga bantay each of them holding an American Bully dogs And Belgian Dogs.
The guards opened the gate and we both went inside.
Narating namin ang puting pinto, he opened it and I went in first before him.
I know this place, this is where assasins spend their times. Gambling, drugs or etc. Like a casino.
But there's no girls here, I mean there's no girls who will pleasure them—no, that's against our rules.
This is also where we will kill or dispatch a person.
Dumiretso lang kami at binuksan ko ang pinto, bumungad sakin ang amoy ng ibat ibang alak.
May tugtog pa at mga led lights, tanging led lights lang ang nakabukas.
Orzei and I arrived at the one door, I opened it.
Bumungad ang lalaking nasa Gitna ng silid, half naked, tied on the chair.
His body was full of bruises and small wounds.
I stepped inside and orzei closed the door.
The room was huge, there's a man sitting on the couch while his arms and legs were crossed. He's wearing a black formal attire, his black hair was messy, thick eyebrows, light brown eyes, pointed nose and kissable pink lips with strong perfect jawline.
It's Levi, the asset of elite team. While orzei, he's also the asset of elite team.
"You're here." Levi's cold voice.
"Who's this man?" I raised my brow.
"Well, he's one of Carpio's men. We caught him gathering some information of the elite team's members." Orzei said and he sat on the couch beside Levi.
I walked towards the man who's tied in a chair.
Huminto ako sa harap nya, nakayuko sya kaya ang black Louboutin heels ko ang nakikita nya.
After a seconds he glanced up, his hair was also wet.
His face was full of bruises too, the left side of lips, cheek and the side of his left eye.
I raiser my brow at him, "carpio's men huh?" I coldly said.
"Kahit anong gawin ninyo hindi ako aamin, kaya pakawalan nyo na ako!" Singhal nito.
"Don't worry, even if you didn't answer my question the result will be the same." I glanced at him up and down."
"A-anong ibig mong sabihin?" Kita ko ang takot sa mga mata nya.
"You answer my question you'll still die, if you didn't you'll still die. Don't talk like you have a choice." Malamig kong Sabi dito.
Hinagis ni Levi ang baril sakin at nasalo ko ito ng walang kahirap-hirap.
"S-sino ka ba ha?" Nanginginig na ang boses nito.
"Tell me, where's your boss?" Blanko ang mata ko nang tiningnan ko ito sa mata.
"Hindi ko ala-ah!" Hindi nya natapos ang sasabihin at agad syang napasigaw nang barilin ko ang kanang tuhod nya.
"Where's your boss?" Pag uulit ko.
"Kahit anong-ah!" Napasigaw nanaman ito ng barilin ko ang kaliwang paa nito.
Halos mapaiyak na sya sa sakit, inihagis ko pabalik kay Levi ang baril nya at naglakad ako patungo sa lamesa, I took the zippo lighter on the desk. It's a silver square shaped lighter.
Kinulong ko ito sa kanang palad ko at kinuyom ko ang kamao ko.
Naglakad ako papalapit sa lalake.
"Where's your boss house address?" Tanong ko pa ulit.
"Hindi ko sasabihin-" Napa igik ito sa sakit nang sinapak ko ang kaliwang bahagi ng ilong nya, pinang sapak ko kung nasan ko hawak Yung lighter.
Tumalsik ang dugo galing Doon.
"Come on, don't make it hard for yourself. I'm running out of patience." Malamig ngunit naiirita kong Sabi dito.
"Sinabi ko na s-sayo, hindi ko sasabihin-" sunod sunod ang pagtunog ng suntok ko.
Limang beses ko sinapak ang ilong nya, paulit ulit din iyon nagdugo, tumutulo na ang dugo galing sa ilong nya at napapaigik na ito sa sakit.
"Since you're not gonna tell me then, farewell. Tell Satan I said hi." Saad ko sakanya.
Hindi na ito nakapag Salita dahil naghahabol na ito ng hininga nya.
Umatras ako papunta sa lamesa at nilapag ang lighter na hawak ko, kinuha ko and katana na nasa lamesa.
I withdrew it from the case and I placed the case back to the table.
Orzei and Levi was watching me, they used to me being like this.
Lumapit ulit ako sa lalaki.
Agad itong napasigaw at nagsilabasan ang dugo galing sa kanang kamay nya na pinutol ko.
"Just so you know, I am white. The leader of the elite team." Was my last word before I stabbed him straight to his throat.
I tilted the katana from side to side, I can hear the sound of it.
I let go of the katana, nakatarak parin ito sa kanyang lalamunan nang bitawan ko ito.
Dumadaloy ang dugo galing sa lalamunan at putol nyang kamay ang mga dugo.
The floor was now mess with blood.
I took a step back.
I walked towards the door and reached for the door knob, before I can open the door orzei spoke.
"Your mission was just sent to you 1 day ago, yet you have your way to be close to your target that easily huh?" Malamig nitong Sabi saakin.
"He's my sister's friend so no worries." Walang gana kong Sana habang nakatingin pa din sa hawak kong doorknob.
"You have to focus on the mission, karma. Many agents had been sent to a mission like this none of them succeeded, of course Dr. Guild expecting you to succeed in this mission." Levi said.
"Dont worry, I'll succeed, I'm not like the fellow agents. I'll get close to him to kill my father, and I'll kill him too."
