Chapter 1 Encounter with the enemy

Ginevra

Watching lifeless bodies hit the ground was something I looked forward to seeing every single day. The tears and the pleas right before I cut them off from their misery always satisfied me. I tossed a man named Jackson Greg's dead body to the side took pictures of his face and sent them to my dad. This man owed my father sixty thousand dollars, which resulted in my father sending my partner in crime Jason, and me to kill him. These idiots should know better than to take credit from my ruthless father who shows absolutely no mercy even if they beg and talk about their innocent kids at home.

I grabbed my gun and shoved it in my pants when I heard sirens from outside which I found strange. Since when do police come right away to the scene of a murder?

I looked over at Jason and he had the same look of surprise on his face. He grabbed my hand and we ran up the stairs and onto the roof, good thing we always have a backup plan."It's time to jump off buildings," He joked. I rolled my eyes in response and tied up my brunette hair into a quick bun. He tied a rope and I slowly climbed down, trying not to slip. When we both got down, I was startled by guns pointing at our heads.

A man in a black suit came up to us."Looks like you guys took the bait" He chuckled."Idiot!"Jason snarled at me.

Is he joking right now, both of us basically made the decision to lure the man here, kill him, and use our plan B to get out of there by climbing down the roof on a rope and here he is blaming me!

"Weren't you the one who suggested that we climb down the building!"I yelled angrily. "No dummy, I said jump buildings!" "We aren't spiderman !"I yelled back angrily.

"Can you two, stop acting like babies!"The man's voice boomed angrily.

He looked at us both and made a call on his phone."Boss, I got two intruders and they killed Jackson".If only there weren't so many guards pointing at us with guns, I would have been able to take them all out by myself. Jason is my partner in crime and also my childhood friend, but sometimes he can be a pain in the ass and acts like a bad friend whenever we get into some serious problem.

Being in the mafia has its ups and downs but mostly downs. Being rich and well-respected is one of the advantages, the downs are mostly turning psychotic from all the dead souls that return to hunt you down, possibly getting killed by your enemy, and having friends means that their gonna act two-faced one day or another.

If we make it out alive, I'm pretty sure he's gonna go back to my dad and bad-talk me on how such a great job I did today, completely excluding him in it.

Suddenly a black Mercedes approached us and out came my biggest enemy Leonardo De Luca. That man sickens me up to this day, with his cocky personality."Well if it isn't Ginevra Bianchi, "He smirked hinting a bit of disgust at my surname."In the flash" I stated forcing a smile on my face.

"Did Daddy send you to do his dirty work again" He mocked. I rolled my eyes and decided to ignore him. He brought out a knife from a yellow cloth that had his family's crest on it. I showed no fear towards him as he came towards me with a wide grin.

I endured a lot of pain in the past, nothing he could do to me would make me feel scared. "Tell Daddy, I send him a message"He stated seriously.

He passed me and pushed Jason onto the ground. I turned around and closed my eyes as I heard Jason cry out in pain. Serves him right! "You may leave Bellissima(beautiful)" He stated and winked at me.

He walked past me and entered his car, I watched as his guards left as well and I rushed over to Jason."Leonardo is a dick" he groaned."He wasn't the one screaming like a little girl" I muttered under my breath. Jason loved playing like he was the biggest boss but was pretty much scared of torture.

I called Kyle, my dad's professional driver to come pick us up. Kyle was a part of the Mafia as well, he's very skilled in driving, which includes racing and getting away from the enemy. He's one of Dad's loyal companions. I ignored Jason's grunt of pain every second and stared at my fingernails. If only I weren't doing tasks every day, I would have gotten them done.

Turning eighteen last month, made me recognize that I loved getting to the girly side of myself. Dressing up and going out with the girls to clubs and having men approach me only to cower in fear when they noticed who I really was.

Kyle hurried over to me and Jason and dragged him inside the vehicle." Mrs.Bianchi" he said as he opened the door for me. I smiled at him and sat down next to a pale Jason, little me would have been crying by now, but the number one rule of being in the mafia is to show no sympathy. I don't even care if he died or not, especially since he betrayed me many times before.

"I want to go to the Milian cathedral," I stated as I stared out the window.

"No problem"

We came to a stop and I hopped off. I walked into the church and as usual, not one person was there. I bent down on my knee and held my cross in my hands. I started praying, The Hail Mary and our Father, I always come here after I do these deadly sins, in the hope that God would forgive me. Not that I expect him to, since I keep doing the same thing over and over.

"Lord forgive me for my sins, in Jesus's name I pray, Amen!"

I got up on my feet and walked towards that basket of offerings and placed a one hundred bill inside. I quickly shut off my phone, when I saw the twenty missed calls from Dad. Knowing that, he would come looking for me, I rushed out onto the street and took a cab.

I headed towards the park, where I could clear my mind off the amount of people I killed today. I killed thirty-five people, today and I didn't need Jason's help. Dad insisted that I needed to learn how to kill like a pro, Jason always takes credit. When I'm the one who does all the killing and torturing.

I lay back on the grass and looked at the kids playing with one another. Kids are cute, but with the way I grew up and the conditions I'm in, there's no way, I would be able to have one. I would immediately put it in danger, or it would distract me from doing my tasks. I want to be a good mother but I'm not a good person.

A small blue ball rolled over near me and a small boy approached me. I grabbed the ball and placed it into his hands."Thank you, pretty lady" He beamed.

I smiled warmly at him and watched as he marched his way back to his friends.

I turned on my phone and frowned at the pictures my father sent me of what Leonardo did to Jason. There were all kinds of markings on his back and a message saying "Stay out of my way Enzo."

Enzo was my father's name. I guessed the only reason, Leonardo targeted Jason was because he knows my dad prefer Jason over me. Which is really sad.

Dad hated the fact that my late mother only gave birth to a female heir. Mother died after giving birth to me due to losing a lot of blood and other complications. He always wanted a male heir, since he believed males are strong and brilliant and females are weak human beings who belonged in the kitchen. Which absolutely disgusts me! Women are much stronger than what men describe us to be, they wouldn't dare give birth to a baby if they could, not to mention the struggles of having periods. We could do anything, once we set our minds to it.

I sighed deeply and called Kyle to pick me up. After a few minutes of waiting, he showed up.

I opened the door quickly and hopped in.

"Your father is angry with you, so brace yourself" He stated as he raised his eyebrow to look at me. I rolled my eyes in response and closed my eyes, trying to not think about what awaited me at home.

Moments later, I woke up when I heard the gates of the Mansion open. Our mansion was pretty huge and a little place of comfort, especially when my father wasn't around to spoil the mood. I thanked the driver and walked towards the house.

Despite the house feeling gloomy and awful due to my father being present. My uncle Allision and his wife Amelia were smooching on the couch. I gaged and threw a pillow, I found nearby at them. "Get a room!"I yelled and pretended like I was about to vomit. He rolled his eyes at me placed her in his arms, and headed up the stairs.

I walked towards my father's office, feeling a bit lightened due to My uncle and his wife's presence. I breathed in deeply and opened the door, his back was turned and I could hear him laughing like a maniac.

"GINEVRA!"
