“If you are on a mission aren’t you supposed to be in the shadows, why did you pick this cover and actually spent some money into something that doesn’t interest you.” Hunter just studied me at my comment.
“Well because I wanted to fish him out.”
“Don’t tell me I’m bait??” I worried while Hunter shook his head.
“This mission is more than you could handle it would be foolish on my side if I risked your life for a stupid satisfaction of revenge.” I packed all my stuff as we started walking together.
“So what’s this mission about? ” I asked intrigued.
“An Indian mafia overlord wants me dead, he purposely killed few of my men after previously doing some business with him a few years back and went into hiding I heard he was in Romania so I took up the mission.” I didn’t know what to say but I know something is going to go wrong my supposed vacation is now a life threat.
“He doesn’t know you so don’t be scared.” he assured while I nod.
“Well, thanks for keeping me company and for making sure the directors didn’t kill me.” I low-key muttered, I already find myself stuttering.
“Well I gotta go.” I whimpered turning the other way Hunter gripped a hold on me before I could easily run away.
“Where are you going? ” he asked
“I’m thinking of touring the city, what else do you think? ” I muttered.
“You should tour the city another day, you look tired and exhausted.” I was tired and exhausted but I didn’t want to go home yet, yesterday after my make out with Hunter I came home to see Paisley fucking her male lead and now I needed time to clear my thoughts so touring the city might clear my mind.
“I really wanted to tour today and I have plenty of energy.” I persisted honestly.
“Should I drive you around town? ” he asked.
“No, I’m fine I just need to do this on my own and think.” he only nodded. “Call me when you need anything.” I just nodded as a reply turning back to walk on my own.
I went to a shop not two far sitting at the farther end, I only ordered some green tea then paid for it after drinking it I buried my face into my arms and succumbed to sleeping.
Hunter’s Pov
She was tired and exhausted and needed to get away from me and she went to a cafe instead and dozed off, if she was this tired she would have gone home.
I walked over to the far end she sat at and sat down close to her, she must already deep in her sleep because she wasn’t aware of her surroundings.
I ordered only a bottle of Japanese whiskey drinking from it slowly while watching her sleep, I stretched out my hand to push her hair behind her ear but stopped when she started muttering gibberish.
“Ariel..” she muttered quietly the last words, I breathe hard looking back at her.
“I will keep to my promise.” I muttered, my phone rang, I got up paid for my drink and paid for whatever was going to order the sooner she wakes up.
Regina’s Pov
There is an old recycle factory that was abandoned 20 years ago, my father bought it for the land purposes but actually to hide Aarav Advik India’s mafia overlord, the kingpin of 400 alleged crimes under his name and one of my old flings.
The thing about being Albanians prime minister daughter is having close connection with all the underground overlords.
Well back to the overlord, he and Hunter got some beef so he’s hiding in the meantime In Romania since Hunter already froze his transportation privileges so he’s stuck in Romania, he’s already arms dead man as we know it because sooner or later Hunter will find him.
The reason my daddy hides him is because of the unlimited drug money he sends to my dad to get on his good side.
I walked in the main room he was smoking on a cigarette I stride over him and sat on his thigh, he puffs the smoke at my face lowering one hand down my ass.
I unplugged the cigar from his lips tapping it before I put it back on my mouth and puff it back on his face.
“Regina, got any good news from your father?” he asked, I shook my head smoking.
“My father doesn’t give a shit about your dick Aarav sooner or later Hunter’s gonna find you and glock you in the balls.” I said smoking all the men shared me dirty looks.
“What the fuck why don’t you make yourself useful princess and go back to daddy.” one of his men mocked they all laughed to their satisfactory delight, I got up away from Aarav pulling out my gun as the laughter died down.
“Oh daddy’s girl got a gun what are you..? ” I fired the bullet at his dick and he went cold on the floor, the rest of the men went silent and Aarav smirked.
“I don’t give shits about any of you, I know how you guys can stop hiding in the shadows, instead of wasting your life here.” I said tossing the butt of the cigar at the blood of the man I just killed.
“And how do we do that? ” Aarav arched his brows suspiciously licking his lips.
I pulled out my phone and show them a picture of Amirah.
“If you kill her, Hunter will be out of your way.” he laughed at my suggestion.
“What will the almighty overlord of darkness have with this little girl, stop wasting my time Regina Hunter doesn’t care for anything” I looked back at the picture filled with resentment.
“For some reason, he does care for her, if you point a glock over her head Hunter would be begging at your feet.” he grinned nefariously taking my phone.
“Who is she? ” I asked
“Amirah Rivera.”
Amirah’s Pov
I got up shaking my head and yawned softly my vision was blurred, I looking back at the waitress as she kindly spoke but I had no idea what she was saying.
Clearly because she’s Romanian we both got frustrated lacking communication she tapped her finger and did a sign language that she wanna go, I clearly nodded probably understanding what she said and got up picking up my purse, I slowly walked out as she waved me goodbye.
For a nap I just feel drowsy at least I got enough sleep but how long did I sleep, I pulled out my phone to see dozen texts from Paisley.
Where the fuck are you?
This isn’t funny I’m worried
I’m sorry I lost it at you call me back please
I stopped at a bus stop waiting to catch the next schedule, there wasn’t anyone around me at the moment, I tried dialing Paisley’s number.
It was ringing until two men suspiciously walked to my direction I noticed and decided to act calm until I saw one trying to get hold of his gun.
“Amirah? ” I heard Paisley finally reply, I hanged up pressing the phone to my ear hurrying to get away from there and to somewhere with more people at first I was walking to see if I was just paranoid but they were following me and then I broke into a sprint and they followed, I took some turns to lost them but they focused their energy on me.
They finally got hold on me, I struggled with them they would let go, I kneed one of them at the balls, he let me go and winced in pain, I was about poking the eyes of the second bastard but he masked my face with a napkin with some kind of sleeping gas, I knocked out in their grasps.
Hunter’s Pov
I was about heading home until Paisley ran up to me scared.
“Paisley? What are you doing here? ” she was breathing heavily like she just ran here.
“Amirah.. ” she breathes. “She won’t answer her calls and when she finally calls back she hangs up and her signal went dead I’m worried I want to call a search party.” she muttered as my phone buzzed in my pockets.
Unknown~meet me at the banks of lake if you ever want to see Amirah again and come Alone.
“I’ve got to go.” Paisley stopped me.
“if you know where Amirah is take me with you.” she said but I shook my head.
“go home I’ll bring Amirah back.” she didn’t look convinced. “Promise ?” she asked
“I promise.” I said as she lets me go
I went to the banks of the lake of Romania alone as instructed, a few men stood in rows waiting for me with a ferry at the end.
“Aarav request we should ride the Ferry, no tricks.” the men said and I nodded getting on the boat, the boat rode to probably the middle of the sea it was almost midnight and it was foggy I could barely see only the White House was our only guide in the night.
We stopped at the whitehouse there was another boat knotted to the deck, I got up from the boat being escorted to where they had Amirah, they were holding her she was weak and looked like she wanted to die, anger built up in me.
“Where’s Aarav? ” I asked.
“Right here old friend.” I turned to see the bastard smoking the pint of his cigar.
“So she is of importance to you, this insignificant stupid toy.” he walks over to Amirah pulling up her chin.
“Who could imagine that Hunter Dominiquez the overlord of darkness has a weakness and it lies in this little new toy I got.” he said press the end of the cigar butt at her the side of her neck and she screams.
“Don’t touch her.” I yelled and they pointed a gun over her head.
“Try anything Hunter and I’ll blow her brains out.” he licked his lips.
“What do you want Aarav ?” I asked he laughed manically.
“Revenge, you burnt down all my goods and made me run into hiding.” he hissed at me.
“You killed my men when they assisted you in claiming back your goods burning down your goods and making you hide in the shadows isn’t a lesson enough.” I hissed at him keeping my gaze on Amirah.
“Then watch me kill her. ” he spat venomously ready to ignite the riffle.
“Let her go and kill me instead, you don’t want her you want me I will willingly surrender if you spare her.” I offered he shook his head.
“Killing you is overrated, watch her, look at her face when she is alive this innocent and disgusting specie and always have the thought you killed her.” he said about to to fire the gun but I shot his hands and he drops the gun, the two men holding her backed up, Amirah was still the edge almost about to dive in the rough waters near the lighthouse.
She was on her knees frozen in fear, then it came to me she was afraid of the waters that she might fall.
“You imbeciles cease her.” Aarav hissed I pointed my gun at both men threathening to shoot if they touch her, it became more foggy and I could barely see Amirah I tried to keep my focus on the two men.
I heard a loud gun shot and traced it to Amirah, she fell into the water.
