It’s past time for her meal and Alita had not seen anyone, Jordan had not arrived with the surprise meal he promised nor had she seen Lu. Gladly, she hasn’t seen him because each time she does, the urge to kill him at the instant arrives.
After waiting for a long and counting the weird things in his room, Alita decided to take her bath. She didn’t get to take her bath yesterday because Jordan was around, consoling her over her wrist. The worst part of it was that the person that did it didn’t come back to check up on her, he just left with the worst facial expression.
“Yikes!” She rolled on the bed “Was I really expecting that bastard to show up again?” She asked herself.
The good news happens to be that Jordan is a good boy and had helped her all through yesterday, he offered to help her to the bathroom to pee but she waved that with a strange smile. The fact that he is sweet looking has his seductive Italian accent, is a good kisser, and is a gentleman does not make him try to help her pee!
Imagine the irony!!!
After rolling uncomfortably and ignoring her grumbling stomach, she began to imagine if Lu had finally decided her fate. Maybe this time he would gladly starve her to death and get rid of her small body without anyone’s notice.
“Why haven’t they poison me since?” She sat up on the bed.
She lifted a brow above the other same as the side of her lips, her green eyes ball were facing awkward direction with her index finger on her chin. If Lu intentionally let her live till this day over how many times she had tried to kill him, he must huge plans for her. Hopefully, it won’t be something she would like, maybe something she would live to remember!
Her heart stopped for a moment as she try to listen to a faint sound coming from the secret door of the room. After Lu had entered and left for the same place, she had tried to get out through there but not even the slightest sign of an entrance was found.
The main door Jordan normally comes in through had its annoying beeping sound, it would beep loudly for hours whenever she tried to force it open. The poor boy doesn’t seem to open the door by himself, he waits to call Lu who would open it from outside or wherever he was.
The secret passage finally open as she heard Lu walk in, his shoemaking unusual pop sounds as he took each step slowly.
Alita didn’t bother to turn, seeing his face would only remain her of how much she hated him and she would go nuts again, trying to kill him every second.
“What do you want, Jerk!” She said through clenched teeth.
“To make a different deal”
Alita froze, she turned back slowly to confirm the strange voice and get to meet another face. The last time she saw that face was at the white party where Rocco had gone nut.
“Fuck off!” She said and turned back to her previous position.
Ugo chuckled, he walked to her front majestically and sat beside her on the bed. In between his index and middle finger is a paper, it had inked on it making it look like the drawing of a graph or map. The sly look on his face hardened when she tried to take the paper with her left hand and he held her wrist.
“Will you make the deal with me or allow your beloved Luciano to break your second wrists?” He grinned.
They stared at each other closely, it almost seem like they would pick something up and smash it on their heads.
Alita glared before she jerked her hand away with an angry expression on her face.
“You know why he kept me here so don’t piss me off,” She said, standing up and walked away from him “He doesn’t know you are here, what have you come for?” She fold her hands under her breast and waited for his response.
“I know how badly you want to kill Luciano,” Ugo said “But you can’t do it here. He watches all your moves” he looked around as if looking for a camera “But I find none! No camera!” He grinned.
“Then why risk it if you know he watches all my moves” Alita intoned, she moved closer to him and smirked “I know you are the snitch that he had been looking for” she poked his forehead and grinned “I wonder how many layers of foundation you apply at the back of your palm”
Quickly, she held his right arm and drag her palm down to his palm then off his hand, she stared at her palm then his hand. The tattoo she had seen on him weeks ago, the same Lu have appeared at the back of his palm, just that his own was colored while Lu’s own was planned. She recalled the same drawing at the back of Zeno’s palm but he also made a difference in his, he had several drawings of little things around it.
“Is this sort of a cult or what?” She asked with a disgusted expression on her face.
“We are families” Ugo replied simply.
Alita remain silent, waiting to see if he would go on and talk more about it or what it meant but nothing came out. They just stared at themselves in silence and their expression was hidden from their faces. They both had the same cold face, staring blankly at each other’s face as if they kill each other at the spot.
“Alright!” Alita raised her hands in the air and closed her eyes “Kill me quick” she ordered. One of her eyes snapped open as her stomach grumbled loudly, the other opened her eye to see Ugo staring at her in amusement.
“That’s not my wish” Ugo replied, he gave her the paper first before he searched his pocket and brought out a pack of milk flavor candy bar, with the same amusement on his straight face, moved a few steps away from her.
“I know your deepest secret,” she said waving the sheet with her green eyes drooling over the candy “And I know how much Luciano wants to find you. what made you think I won’t give him the information he needs?” She positioned both palms on her hips, her brows lifted forming wrinkles In her forehead.
“You want Lu dead” Ugo said calmly as he checked his watch “Follow the arrow to the extraction point 7 pm tomorrow” he walked to the main door and smiled “I should have left it open but Luciano knows his ways with high gadgets”
He brought out his phone, typed something, and the door open. With a proud expression on his face, he turned to look at Alita who had the most boring look on her tired face.
“Show off!” She rolled her eyes “Wait!” She yelled, “How will I open the door?” She folds the paper.
“That’s why I said sharp 7!” Ugo stated “Get that to a safe place” he pointed at the paper “I won’t carry poison as my favorite candy if I want to kill the most important girl on earth” he eyes the candy and took a step out “He might soon be back so count yourself lucky and have my favorite candy today or let your tiny intestines be eaten before dawn tomorrow”
Before Alita could say the next thing he had closed the door, she sigh, walked back to the bed, and find somewhere safe to keep the map.
“What about his Zombies?” She whines.
Ewww!
The way she hates Lu’s men can not be explained, not even by her. They would do things without thinking.
“Fucking bunch of si, uomini!” She jeers.
Not long thereafter, she strip off her cloth and head into the bathroom, her stomach kept making noise as long as she sat in the bathtub and devoured the piece of candy. She sighed, thinking of how she would feel when she finally gains her freedom and kill Lu.
A sly smirk appeared on her face as she imagined how he would look when he would discover she is gone. Will he just decide to let her go or haunt her as he had done for the past twelve years?
Feeling fulfilled when she decided to kill him in shock too by sending a bullet into his fine brain. If she try to make him die slow he might survive it and it would be more than a painful sting in the butt. She wouldn’t appreciate it if she risk everything and fail to kill him when she can so her plan is to kill him quickly and honor her dead parents.
She relaxed her back and fell asleep, she kept meditating on her freedom, and the sweet sensation of brutal revenge.
