Chapter 3 I WANT HIM GONE

" I want him gone."

" But, we just got him. And besides there is still the attempt on your life."

" I don't care. I want him gone. He saw me Marco. He saw me." She said almost in tears.

He saw her in her most vulnerable state. She appears strong in front of the world. But, deep down she is the most vulnerable person Marco knows that.

" I will leave you be for tonight."

He got up and began walking away. He got to the door and stopped. " I will ask the doctor to up your meds." And with that he walked away.

Sophia couldn't believe Marco. She wants the bodyguard gone but, Marco isn't saying anything.

The thought of him seeing her in her most valuable state makes her head smoke. She would surly get rid of him by morning.

Leonard sat down on the chair facing the outside. His face blank as always without an expression. He just stared out the window looking at nothing in particular.

He had seen her in her most valuable state and he's pretty sure she doesn't like that.

Whatever happened to her must have truly been terrible to get her so terrified each night of her life.

He had heard when Marco talked about upping her meds and he thinks it is a very bad idea. But, what the fúck.

He is here for only one thing and that's to protect her. Not to interfere in her personal life.

He isn't someone who sleeps. No! Staying awake is the only way to calm his demons. Falling asleep gives his demons the power to devour him.

He took his binoculars and pointed towards the end of the mansion he had seen movements he believes to be a sniper.

And his suspicions were right. He saw the man who was positioning himself to lie flat on top of the building directly opposite the mansion. Giving the sniper the perfect view of her chambers.

Immediately he got up and ran towards her chambers. He bashed in making Sophia jump up immediately.

" Get down." He shouted as dived at her. Taking her with him.

Immediately she heard gun shots. Covering her ears with her hands. She folded herself like a child in it's mother's womb.

Leonard counted in a whisper. Sophia wondered what he was saying.

" Do something." She said. In a loud voice.

Leonard said nothing. His lips was still moving. Then, he stopped and so did the bullets.

Immediately he got up took his gun and in one swift movement he fired.

Sophia stayed down. As she was. She really doesn't want to get shot. But, then. There was nothing. Not even a sound was heard.

It seems whoever was shooting at her left. But, that wasn't the case. Leonard is a better shot. He never miss.

" Stay here." He told her. As he got up and walked away.

Sophia was too scared. So, she did according to how he had commanded her.

Sophia and Leonard walked into the mansion with a dead body hanging on Leonard right shoulder. Marco stared at Leonard with the body on his shoulders as he left a trail of blood.

" I need a room." Leonard said.

And quickly Marco took him to the basement. Leonard dropped the body on the table he laid eyes on.

••• ••• ••• ••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• ••

Marco searched Sophia's body with his eyes.

" I am fine." Sophia said. When she saw how he scrutinized her body with his eyes.

" How did this happen?" Marco asked.

"I don't know." Sophia answered

*** *** **** **** **** **** **** *** **

.

Standing beside the dead body Leonard looked at the distinctive tattoo. It screams ' THE CARTEL' they are the ones you call when you need someone mighty eliminated.

And it takes the millionaires to be able to put a hit on someone's head. Which meant only one thing. Someone really wants her taken out.

His job has gotten more harder and that's just the way he likes it.

He went ahead to search the body. But, he knew he wouldn't find a thing. This people are careful. They never leave a trace behind.

Sophia has been pacing around in her room. She stood by and watched the maids clean the mess the bullets made.

" You're safe that's all that matters." Marco said. Drawing her out of her head.

" I'm getting tired of this Marco." She answered.

Everyday in her life is a fight of survival. She didn't wish for any of this. It's not her fault she was born with a sliver spoon.

" I know sweetie." Marco drew her in an embrace.

" I want them found. Whosoever ' THEY' are. I want them found and eliminated. So, I could get back to my life."

" I understand."

••• •• •••• •••••• •••• ••••

" Shit." The man with a suit and a tattoo cursed. The moment he got the news of their fail attempt again.

She has proven too hard to kill. But, nevertheless. A hit was put on her head and they would stop at nothing until she's dead.

He picked his phone and dialed a number. He picked up instantly.

" I need more hitman."

" Yes boss."

Immediately the call ended.

Whoever her bodyguard is he's one hell of a shooter. He had taken out his sniper with one shot. It's practically impossible to say the least. But, nevertheless she won't be lucky next time, He will make sure to get rid of her and her bodyguard the next time.

He can't afford to fail now, he can't afford to loose his target.

One thing is for sure, he is going to end her life the next time.
