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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuWLRjcX5N
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQNhM5frQ6
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRShlPWLOJ
When I reported back to the headquarters,
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvUFhkyi4a
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECUcaTnjE2
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcYcZtmkLw
I was ecstatic!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H1xbPjJb2
He was The director!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrqUKvmrp8
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjjNtaeFhP
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNfvB7Fin
I was just a gone fangirl.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf0Yo3uuQL
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11yLeljfBC
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAU4M5Q0it
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaggPEW4gDm
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxRyMItrXF
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWAEau2jTF
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs7loSCYnL
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1dZJcg9bc
But why bring Me here?
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJlM5OsaSq
All cells were occupied.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgtZfRSmZJ
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94dlLc5Oq1
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfjFEHcfLk
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMe8wTqPiO
Crack
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAiS58V5Iq
"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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKwLbuJFQ3
Thump
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yr7uMLeCg
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePytdXn4hK
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGnzJ5dQJD
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGdbio95cU
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrG2o1gHkh
He was Terrifying.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihhHfUIiz
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTa5TIERI
"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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12uiG3aBrB
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAAGnwUZI
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTYyAopmdJ
I thought back what I did wrong.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTNjiYN5y5
"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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF1NtEtmIJ
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2yibVWF6
Is that the truth?
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZAg0t2HHR
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC548DXEphI
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfBovszoJ
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJehjD937j
Hell!!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7pIrJjabg
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUltZKUU9n
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294fssJz1b
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgxxfieav
Why is he telling me all this now??
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX31DhwEk6
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ZjesTPUU
Why?
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfuEglmy9V
"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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAwAStAdVV
I didn't blink away.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HwLTWztn8
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPPARpNGT
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.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOxGIlEMSk
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCFzV5xirf
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R2f75DHXu
..Not for the time being at least.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAfi7KXee3
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVwoc3G0vI
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1jPAWJgew
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQEglDHeN1
My voice died in my throat.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6GoVHT18
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18xN78tUF8
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
