Devil POV.
Who does he think I am? A rookie? I know how to do this, it’s not my first mission or assignment, the only difference this time I wanted to win, I wanted to help him, it wasn’t for the money it was more for the person I’m trying to achieve this for, Nikolai can’t lose this war, they wouldn’t stop at him, and I wouldn’t stop once he get hurt.
I knew how to do my job, I knew how to make myself look dangerous, to look lonely, I made sure that everyone now know that I want to have my revenge on Nikolai, no one knew what happened or I got mad, but for the last two days the word has been traveling me and Nikolai are no longer on speaking terms.
It’s all a lie, it’s all a just simple lie I made up, but rumors, you wouldn’t believe how much men and women in our domain loves to have rumors, love to talk about each other, me and Nikolai said break up got famous, I didn’t know how he didn’t heard the news about our said break-up.
I got the message I was expecting to receive not long after, they want me to sell Nikolai, to get information at him, I could even bring them his heart if that would get us to end the war, I would bring them a pig heart but they don’t need to know about that, I’m going to end this one way or another.
The person I’m meeting with is just a mediator, but he’s good enough to get me a real meeting with the real people, the real ones who want to hurt Nikolai, the one who are behind all of this, it’s not just the Irish, I knew that, and we agreed on that. For my meeting, I did go back to old Devil, the old hair style, no contact, my old make up, my hair is a bit longer but I’m the same old psycho, the same old hitman. They don’t need to know I’m more domesticated now, I’m a wild cat, I’ll always be one, I still have my claws and I’ll hurt anyone who touches what’s mine.
I drove to the cafe, we always meet somewhere public, it’s the best way to do so, this isn’t like any other assignment, this time I was nervous, this first like my first job all over again.
“I didn’t think you’d be back here Devil” the guy says meeting me, he looks casual, talking to me like I’m an old friend.
“I’d say the same thing about you too, you backstabbed me before” I answer him, meaning back when they tried to sell me off.
“It’s all business Devil, you can’t still be mad about that” he says, right almost having me dead is a business after all.
“I see, I wouldn’t be here if I was still mad wouldn’t I, now what’s going on?” I say back with a fake smile, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Nikolai.
“You know about the war going here?” he asks, who doesn’t know about the war really, like I said we love rumors.
“‘Of course” I answer him, but I was angry at this whole war.
“We heard your loyalties are up for sale, we need some information about Nikolai, your new lover boy?” he says, making my blood boil, he can’t talk like this about my Nikolai.
“I wouldn’t say for sale, but after what Nikolai did, I don’t mind some payback” I say going back with my lie, with the whole story about being ready to betray him.
“Oh, I see, the love story ended badly?” he asks, oh right I’m going to be beat his ass!
“You could say that, I’m hurt and I want my revenge, I know someone wants to hurt him too…now if you can’t get me to your boss” I say getting ready to get up and leave.
“Devil…Devil…. love…love just wait” he says trying to get me to sit back, I did sit back waiting for him to tell me that he’s ready to take me to his boss.
“He wouldn’t agree to meet with anyone, not right away. How about you meet with the Irish boss again?” he says, I wasn’t about to meet with the Irish again.
“Last time we met I ended up having my head being sold” I say getting ready to get up again, I’m not going to stay if this is how we’re going to do things.
“Dear god, what’s with you Devil, just sit down and listen” he says, I’m still about to leave, if I don’t hear what I want, I’m leaving for sure.
“It’s either the boss or I’m leaving, I’m done with Irish” I tell him not caring where his loyalties stand.
“Sit, I’ll make some calls” he says finally making me sit down while he did do some calls to get me to meet the boss, it’s either the boss, the one whom is behind it all or I’m leaving. I saw my phone starting to vibrate, I looked at the phone, it’s Nikolai, I closed the line and closed the phone not getting the guy attention what happened, he’s an idiot who didn’t even notice that I was looking at my phone, I could have called back up, I could have asked on a hit.
“He’ll meet with you, but it’s a private meeting” he says, of course it’s a private one, I nod waiting to know whom I’m meeting with to begin with.
“He’s not one of the Irish is he?” I ask wanting to know who it is.
“No, he’s not, it’s bigger than just the Irish, there’s some other player who wants the Nikolai off” he tells me, oh I know about that.
“A new player? And who would that be?” I ask needing to know who that is.
“You’ll find out when you meet them” the guy says leading me outside, he wouldn’t allow me to drive myself, it’s mistake number one, getting in a car that isn’t mine, not having an exit plan.
I got in his car and let him drive us away, I didn’t know where we are going but I still kept an eye out, I made sure to look at where we are going, having an escape plan ready in my brain, there’s no taxi or busses around here, I need a car to leave one that I don’t have on me right now. I have to get my phone back on, I need to have an escape line ready, I texted Elle, Nikolai would kick my ass and won’t understand it. I sent her my location with an X mark, before going back to go with the man to meet with this boss, trying to get as much words out of him as possible.
“Who’s this new boss? I never heard of him, does he pay well” I ask him.
“He pays well, they are old money” he says not answering my first question.
“But who is he?” I ask again but he won’t answer me, I’m starting to lose my cover.
“For a psycho hitman, you’re asking too many questions” he says.
“I’m a psycho, but not an idiot” I remind him or maybe I am an idiot.
“He’ll be here soon” he says standing away from me, we’re in an empty area, they could kill me now and I wouldn’t be able to protect myself, finger crossed I get back home alive and get Nikolai to beat my ass.
“I heard you finally betrayed him, oh didn’t that happen too quickly” a voice says showing up from the shadows, I knew that voice, I knew who’s that it.
“Angelo” I say he’s the one behind all of this.
“Yeah, what can I say we didn’t agree on things” I say.
“Really, but you’ve caused me too much troubles Devil, since day one we met you’ve been causing me troubles” he says.
“I didn’t….” I say, I don’t remember causing him much troubles.
“First day we met my man went missing, you gave up our name Devil, you told my Russian cousin dearest about us” he says with a growl.
“But now I can be on your side Angelo” I say trying to keep my calm.
“oh Devil…. I’m not my cousin, you’re not getting out of this alive…” he says, oh crap! Nikolai is going to kill me.
