I was given another room on the first floor. A bigger one, with a cozy bed. I wasn't used to coziness so I made myself comfortable on the floor under a thin blanket.

When I first came here, I knocked the walls to ensure my privacy and checked all the drawers and cupboards in case there I find a weapon, camera or Maybe a secret passage.

Vettorio stood at the door, inspecting my each and every movement as I did his. But when I thanked him and wished him good night, he left taking the hint.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbID7ZplqyP
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuCGWAIHN5
I shrugged off that thought and rewind my brains to the past.

It's about time when I had been back from my Miami's Mission.
It took 3 weeks to execute the final blow. But we were successful so I ignored the loss of time.

When I reported back to the headquarters,
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLdV1glLwm
Our Commander summoned me. After the congratulatory and futher instructions, his last order stuck in my mind.
"Marco, Our President.." He paused. I've only heard victorious stories about him. I wondered why he mentioned him after I'm just back. "..He wants to meet you." He didn't met my eyes. He never does that. But I ignored his indifference.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRjzAIEiAk
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfzKYtjEoZ
I was ecstatic!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKSANm2Kbp
He was The director!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9S55w1AIQ
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaeQRc4tFf
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF4nZqyLXS
I was just a gone fangirl.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aLC11FUhY
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLABsojrU
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodNcTawhRy
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMiwmHV0Ue
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8krvUymxs
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AGr2YL6oI
I slowed. An uneasy feeling settled in my gut. I feel something similar when things don't go according to plan on my business trips and instincts are the best to be relied on.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAskvEGsol
The place was dark and the locked cells smelled of rotten blood, piss and odour of something more I couldn't point my finger. Cells are generally like that.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4SZ93CeZU
But why bring Me here?
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1uzG7SplY
All cells were occupied.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaN4DGUCxu
We stopped at a foot distance from an almost white haired old man, taller and lean, a heavy long hooded winter coat hugging his intimidating figure. I could feel the fear rising in me, dispite my innocence. That. Was his power.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYWacQ16Ub
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nifKW7uaO
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0InawuQOWt
Crack
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOo0wciE5b
"Aah!!" I heard a man's weak searing, which likely came from in front of Marco but I couldn't see, his back block my vision.
So that's what he was busy with and couldn't turn.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4kwphZPxd
Thump
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19JE8Q0otI
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVImQC8XU
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWdgjAzJ8c
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjJy7JNWxk
His tanned face had a deep scar running down from his head to his neck. His veins Stuck out from his muscular frame. I bet if I hear carefully his breathing must be exerting growlings.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3J9QxPQT
He was Terrifying.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVGX9lyOC
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdo3b3phDk
"Ivana, Do you like where you are right now? This Position!" He growled again, pointing his finger down to ground near his foot and my heart rate quickened.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM8J3PAcVJ
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbB7J144Dj
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZiErcvFWX
I thought back what I did wrong.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesgu0DuwH
"Your parents sold ya to me when you were just four or five, my memory kinda blur." He scratched his chin and my heart dropped. My childhood topic is the only thing that can put me through emotional breakdown. And this wasn't the time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnyHBMRlw
He then laughed.
No one else joined him.
"You were from a mistress and your dad loves money it's source the most." I cringed at his unfunny joke.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAgIeLKIjO
Is that the truth?
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp0x7HyCQw
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4rYfZKWJb
Now that he's old, converted to a totally changed man.
How could I have recognised him.
It's like I saw him for the first time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIXd8ssypN
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fsrmbh57Q
Hell!!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2oMEV2mJd
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5Vi6lHEo
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2AgGgh80A
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPmv3qhfhv
Why is he telling me all this now??
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfzhUiIBWe
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jovlcUq5A
Why?
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpGrFwPQNc
"Darlin, I want to remind you who feeds you. What made you to come this far. You stay loyal to them! You fuckin Repay them!" He was almost spating at my face now.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtIHGRsMh5
I didn't blink away.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPicaEuatP6
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8py6aMprH
He snaps his fingers and I hear shoes clicking in the background. And then the metal bars of a cell at certain distance being lifted. I heard it all but didn't move nor made sound.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMayPuHRhQx
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpX8DV1dYs
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog11vf03lb
..Not for the time being at least.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KercdVISk
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpNVPNdZA9
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5meLcXnJS
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew69SworXE
My voice died in my throat.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMpYXOyWXs
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJIrMjj0B
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
