Amilio was at home with Mabel at the dinner table having dinner when there was a knock on the
door. This was the house they used to cover their wealth, it was a simple apartment just like that
of an ordinary man without wealth. Ramen noodles were Mabel's favorite so that's what they
had for dinner.
"Are you expecting any visitors?"
Mabel shook her head in denial so Amilio stood up and opened the door.When he opened
the door an innocent girl was standing. She had huge yellow eyes, plump lips and a face
covered with freckles.
She wore loose rags, her dress made her look homeless. Amilio looked at her disgusted. She
looked awful.
"Good evening sir, I'm Luna Aera. May I come in, sir."
"Why do you want to come in?"
Luna,"well you're an officer. I'm a citizen in need of help and I have confidential information."
Her voice was so smooth, soft and it made her sound way to fucking vulnerable. Amilio rolled
his eyes.
"I'm still eating. Come some other time."
"I'll wait until you're done. I don't mind."
Amilio shut the door to her face. He was quite annoyed. A citizen who came to his house, quite
low. As if the police station was not enough to deal with people's problems.
AMILIO
Mabel suggested I hear the girl out before chasing her away but I ignored her. Because of
Evanora the only way I could talk to Mabel was through written text because she couldn't talk. I
washed the dishes and Mabel went to her room.
After all she had to endure with Evanora she deserved the rest. I'd take her to the doctor after
work tomorrow to get her voice cords checked. Hopefully there wouldn't be any permanent
damage.
I had to throw out the trash so I took it out only to find the girl from earlier on sleeping at my
doorstep with her huge glasses. I crouched down to her level, inspecting how she looked, she
wasn't the type of woman I'd like to associate with but she had something that pulled me to her.
She was not pretty, on the contrary she was ugly, her freckles, huge eyes, shabby clothes, her
broken glasses, everything about her was undesirable. If looking hideous was a crime I'd
definitely arrest her, she'd be in prison for a lifetime. I'm not sure what got into me but I found
myself caressing her dirty face.
If it wasn't for my position as a law enforcer I'd have ruined her. She was already ruined but my
body was treacherous. I wondered if her innocence could take every inch of me.
Fuck!!!
If I left her here Mabel would write me a 6 page long lecture since she had no voice to give me a
3 hour long sermon preaching about humanity and all the good people shit a pure hearted
person believed in.
Having no other option I carried my new found burden into the house. She snuggled into my
arms and started snoring as if she was in her safe heaven. If Evanora was put in such a
situation what would she do?
'ohhoo hoo hoo hoo. Evanora huh? I see you. She's all you ever think about.'My conscience
sneered.
I threw the girl on the sofa. That should have woken her up but no, she was dead asleep.
The night faded into daylight, I had to wake up to a new day. A new day to hunt down that sly
bitch Evanora. Her parents should have named her darkness because the name Evanora
doesn't suit her at all.
"morning sir."
I was startled by the unfamiliar voice. For a moment I had forgotten about the ugly monster I let
into my house.
"fuck bitch you frightened me! What are you doing in my room?"
The girl from yesterday was seated beside my bed with her glasses set aside. The first thing I
saw was the pair of bright yellow eyes, the way they were wide open as if I had candy made her
look hideous so early in the morning.
"I need to discuss something important…. "
"get out."
"It may help with Evanora."
As much as I don't want to admit it, the mention of Evanora perked my interest. Whatever
information she had could be useful.
"At least let me freshen up."
Her eyes grew wider and she smiled. Her teeth were a bit crooked but not too much to make
anyone look scary but she was already scary without trying so I guess the teeth made her look worse..
"Stay away from me please."
She smiled and nodded her head.
"Luna is my name. Thank you sir."
She left the room, her shabby clothes swaying with her barely visible skinny legs. If I didn't know
better I'd think she was an alien but aliens don't exist unfortunately.
I took a quick shower and wore my work uniform. Mabel went to school already, she was in
university. The Luna girl was not in the living room, the aroma of eggs, toasted bread with honey
hit my nostrils calling onto me.
She came out with a tray filled with eggs and bread with honey. I thought maybe she had made
them for me but no. She just passed me and sat on the sofa opposite the TV pretending as
though I didn't exist.
"This is my house. You don't have permission to just go to my fuckin kitchen and make what you
want. Have some shame."
She looked at me as though I had just spoken gibberish.
"I'm sorry. Uhm the information. First of all I need you to be my boyfriend."
"I don't do relationships."
"I'm not asking you. I declare you are now my boyfriend. Listen, I'm the daughter of a mafia but
my father wants to trade me to a dangerous man for the sake of business. You have to attend
the mafia gathering with me as my boyfriend. Maybe you'll get something on Evanora. I need to
be safe for a while. Please. We both benefit from this. "
She may look innocent but I must say she had a sharp tongue. I'm not really interested in her
sob story, I'm interested in the mafia gathering. If I can only get Evanora through her then I
guess I have no choice.
I agreed to help her out in exchange for her cooperation with me. In the process what she wants
in return is a relationship with me. I'll date her just because she's associated with the dark world.
She's going to be useful.
We went to whatever location was given to Luna at twelve midnight. She blindfolded me and
tied my hands because the location we were going to was confidential. She had apologized
when she did it but didn't change the fact that I had no power here.
We soon arrived at our destination. I shouldn't have underestimated these people. We were
having this gathering on a cruise ship. Considering that we were amongst elite people, Luna
was dressed average and she looked like a maids daughter not a mafia's daughter.
She wore a loose pink dress with long sleeves that went beyond her knees, her huge glasses
and freckled face were more reason not to take her seriously. The women here were gorgeous
compared to her. She looked like she didn't belong but on the contrary I dressed the part.
It's funny that they chose a cruise to hold a group of dangerous people. If a shootout were to
break out everyone in this ship would die maybe. The party was actually fun and let's say
organized.
We were allowed to sleep around 12 in the afternoon. I was exhausted. There was no sign of
Evanora anywhere. It was quite disappointing. Luna didn't spend the night clinging to me like I
expected. A lot of people were quite interested in her.
She was like a flower attracting bees. Everyone wanted to get a chance to be around her like
she was some important guest. I didn't ask who her father was but it's not like I'd know who the man is. All I know is that Evanora is second best in this industry so whoever this Luna is she is
an important person.
As important as she is, she's still naïve and innocent, ugly too and I get the chance to take
advantage of that. I'd keep her close. I'll keep her close until I find Evanora.
