The Mafia's Hit girl (book one)

They held her back after successfully knocking her gun out of her head. She groaned as she kept on trying to get free from their grips in the dark room and she thought she was successful until they suddenly pushed her to the floor. She groaned in anger, this had to be the first time she was sent on an assignment but couldn't complete it. The door suddenly opened and she closed her eyes as the door's opening came with so much light. A man walked in and all the men who'd held her earlier moved back while the man walked towards her. She raised her head and saw the man which made her gulp.

He clapped his hands and the light she didn't knew that dark room had came up. She closed her eyes before slowly opening them again and this time she saw his face which made her gulp. Was he the mafia don? "Damn!" She cursed under her breathe.... He was so freaking hot! He moved closer to her and she could now observe his features more closely. His Chiseled jawline, perfectly sculpted nose, virile body, enticing cologne, and those dark hooded eyes, they were a kill for. "Did you really come to kill me?" He asked with a smirk as he helped her get up. She smiled, what a fool. She quickly took out the dagger in her pocket and just as she was about to swing it at him, he held on to her hand, twisted it and then put it behind her before making her stand right in front of him and she had never felt so embarrassed. "Nice skills baby girl, I'll call you when I need a turkey slaughtered for thanksgiving " he told her with a naughty smirk on his perfectly sculptured face. Gosh, his breathe that was now on her neck felt so hurt, it felt so hot that it was now a turn on for her. She rolled her eyes, she hated these kinds of feelings. She moved her right foot forward before taking it back, hitting him in the crouch and he let go of her before moving back. "Ouch" he muttered in the most seductive voice and she turned to stare at him before he got up. "Was that supposed to hurt?" He asked before dusting his trouser and then walking towards her. "I'll call you when I need an emergency footballer" he told her. "I'll kill you, trust me and I'll watch you bleed to death right in front of my eyes and when I'm done, I'll call you when I need some info about the after life " she said to him. "Wow," he muttered "you know, you keep attracting me to yourself and damn.... I'm gonna go crazy over you. Why are you doing this to me?" He asked and she chuckled. "Go crazy over me because you'll need it for when I finally kill you" she said and he inhaled deeply. He snapped his fingers and a chair was brought to him before he sat on it in his style, making him look like the don he actually was. "That's enough already " he said and his brows stiffened. "Who sent you to kill me?" He asked as he rested one arm on the arm rest and the other on his chin. She burst into laughter. "And you think I'll tell you? I only work for money mister and even though I haven't been given any money for killing you, I have been given way too much money not to spill the beans so even if you point a gun at my head, I won't spill the beans " she said and scoffed at him. He smiled before moving closer to her, "You won't spill the beans? Let's see what you say about this" he told her before clapping his hands and before she knew it, he didn't get male goons, he got the female ones and she had never felt so insulted all her life. What did he think of her. "Move back Lopez..... this is about to get messy" she said with a smile and as one of the seven goons rushed to her to hit her, she caught her just in time and threw her to another. The second came running to her with a dagger but she was swift in catching her hand and then twisting it before sending the dagger through her back and then pushing her away. In shock, the third came to her, a gun pointed and just as she shut at her, she bent and then slid towards the one who's body she'd just inserted a dagger before raising her up and before the second bullet fired could get to her, it hit the goon first and she smiled to herself. She rushed to a corner and took a tray and when the goon tried firing at her again, she raised the stainless tray at the bullet hit it before falling to the ground. She rolled before going to grab the goon who had a gun in her hand. She took her and flung her to a corner before picking the goon and shooting three of the goons down. They were just three goons left, "No biggie!" She muttered to herself with a smile as she took off her leather jacket before screaming and rushing to another goon with her fists clenched. They were clenched so hard that when she drove it into the goon's stomach, she spat blood. Not waiting for any of the goons to react, she took the one who'd just spat blood and threw her to another goon before grabbing the third one and then hitting her with the gun she had in her hand on her head severally, knocking her unconscious. Before the other two could react, she took the gun and fired it at one and just as she was to fire it at the other, she realized the gun was out of bullets. "Useless!" She cursed before throwing it to the ground. The last female goon left happened to be the toughest and as she rushed to her, aiming for her head with the stick, she bent and then dragged her leg, causing her to fall. As she was still standing, she jumped and made sure to land right on the thug which cause her to scream in pain. Not satisfied, she took the stick and hit her on the head severally, knocking her out. Satisfied with herself, she went to Daniel with a smile, "Are these your best female thugs? Even the ones I have in training are far better than these kids" she said and before she could say something else, she raised her hand, catching another hand which had a broken piece of glass mid air. She turned, "nice try" she said before twisting her arm and then sending the broken piece of glass into her chest. "How are you going to get the truth out of me now Mr Daniel?" She asked with a mocking smile on her face. "Get these women out, they are trash and it's obvious their years of training was for nothing " he said angrily. He'd brought those women to show these hit girl her place but they'd just humiliated. "Not even a scratch Mr Lopez.. won't you call me when you need a job done?" She asked with a mocking smile. He turned to face her and those hooded dark eyes... she could see how angry and cold they turned, she couldn't help but feel proud of herself.

"You might have done well against them, pretty understandable.. they're low grades after all but let's see how you do against him " he said and a one sided smirk danced all the way up his face and on turning, she saw one of the scariest creatures she'd ever seen in her whole career. He looked muscular but this wasn't the kind of muscular man girls dreamed of. His muscular body, not well structured face and those dreadlocks and tattoos on his body, his look alone was enough to scare her but she didn't fall for it. She had humiliate this don right here.

She rushed in his direction but not to hit him. She slid directly under him and since he'd been expecting her to attack from the front, he wasn't prepared for the back attack and she successfully used her necklace to give him a hard punch in the neck. She'd really practiced biology because she knew the exact place to hit that made him fall to his knees in pain, giving her the chance to climb on his back and when he got up, trying to throw her off, she covered his nose and mouth with her chain. Soon, blood started oozing out of his nostrils and he started coughing. She wasn't done however as she removed the chain from his nostril and put it around his neck before tightening so hard and then climbing on the ceiling, kicking his neck so hard from it, causing him to fall to the ground before jumping on him as her landing. He fell unconscious. She took her chain from his neck with a victorious smile on her face, "Mr don, how about this, stop trying because you're just going to be losing more goons and then who'll protect you? " she asked with a mocking smile as she put her chain back on. Daniel clapped his hands and some bags were brought before him and on opening them, she gasped in shock. "So much money!" She said as she bent to caress the notes. "Do you want this money?" He asked and she immediately got up. "If I have to give you the name of whoever sent me here to get all this money, forget it. I'll burn this money because after I've taken money, every other money is just thrash" she told him and he smiled to himself. "I'm not giving you all this money to spill the beans, I'm giving you the money because I like your kind of people" he said and walked beside her. "Normally, I'd think you're greedy but now I know, you're just committed and I need people like you with me. With someone like you around, I am sure I'm safe and I don't have to feel scared even though I never am. Take it, don't give me the name of the person who wanted me dead... just work for me" he said. "That's where you are wrong Mr Don" she said. "I'm not committed, the only thing I am loyal to... is money and if someone happens to give me a better offer, trust me, I'll ditch you and go with them because..." "How much do you want? Daily, monthly, weekly.. how do you want it? I'll pay you what you want, just please, work for me" he told her. She smiled, "if you're willing to pay me a lot of money then of course... I'll work with you" she said before taking her jacket and then leaving the basement with him, her hands filled with one of the bags that contained money. "Hold on, what's your name?" He asked her. She ignored him and kept on walking forward. "Do I also have to pay to get your name?" "Kathryn Rivera " she said before walking out of the basement. . He threw a file at her, "Jamil industries, that's the map around their main site and you'll need it to know where the safe is. Will you be able to get it?" He asked as she flipped through the files. "Hmmm. You should know, I don't work with maps. They suck!" She told him before walking out on him, right after throwing it in his face. He held on the file with an unexplainable smile on his face, "She has the guts, I love it " he said to himself as he fell to the bed with a smile on his face. Kathryn closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before raising her head over the little fence, she'd almost gotten caught by one of the goons guarding the main site and judging by the number of goons that had been kept outside the main site, she could tell that it was something really valuable in the safe. She rolled as she used her hair pin to open the door that led into the gate man's area. There wasn't really any need for a gateman, she thought to herself, they must have just put a gateman to divert the attention of the public. She put her hair pin back in her hair before sliding the door into the main building open and then making sure to walk into the building and that was when she realized how tacky the place actually was, it was a very shady place and that was when she realized they were another gang of mafias. She slowly went behind cartons that were arranged in a vertical manner, making very sure not to alert the goons that an intruder had stepped in. She got to a door and on trying to open it, she realized that there was a special card that needed to be swiped before she could get into that room. She cursed and before she knew it, the alarm started blaring! "Intruder alert! Intruder alert " it blared and she immediately went to hit beside a container of black paint. One of the goons turned around and immediately rushed there and on getting there to see no one was there, he wanted to turn and continue his guard duty but then gasped the moment a dagger was sent to his throat. Kathryn immediately got up and started checking him for the card when another goon rushed to her and made to hit her head with a stick when she caught it mid air. Still holding on to the stick in the goon's hand, she walked up the walls and on landing, she held on to his neck and twisted it before falling to the ground, breaking his neck. He screamed in pain and just as she was checking for the card, three goons started rushing towards her, it was obvious that she'd made a lot of noise fighting off the goons. "Damn it!" She cursed and luckily, she found the card. Just as she wanted to swipe the card, a stick was thrown at her but it missed her head and landed on her neck. "Aaargh!" She winced in pain and gulped. She turned, something was suspicious. Why weren't there any goons guarding this door? There were three goons running towards her, why weren't the other four? Why were they guarding the huge metal box there? Before she could think any more, the most muscular of the three goons rushed to her and flung her across the room, causing her to crash into the pillar.

Still holding on to her neck in pain, she smiled. One of the goons had dropped a dagger, her signature weapon. She waited for the goon to come to her again before she inserted the dagger into his left foot and then kicked it hard. He screamed in pain before she took it out and then rushed to the goons that guarded the metal box. It was a tough fight and she got injured severely, especially when the use of flabbergas was introduced but luckily, she'd covered her nose in time and stopped herself from inhaling it which only caused it to affect the other goons and not her.

Not waiting for the goon to realize what he'd done to his colleagues, she turned the flabbergas and sprayed it right in his face which caused him to fall to the ground, unable to move. She pushed him out of the way before taking her hair pin and then opening the metal box and on opening it, she opened her mouth in shock... it was a secret way to an underground basement. "Thanks for nothing "'she told the goon who was down with flabbergas before kicking him away. She put her leg in, it was all about the money and she could do anything for it. As she climbed down, she looked up. If any of the other goons came and saw the metal box open, they'd definitely raise an alarm so she closed the box, forgetting she didn't have the key or card to swipe it open. As she climbed down, she kept on noticing so much light coming from her left and after climbing down, still injured and that was when she met with the greatest shock of her life, the gatemen was meant to not only deceive those who wanted to get deceived, he was also guarding this underground company. She hid behind the door as she observed closely, the white tiled walls, marbled floors and appropriate tech facilities, they screamed luxury and she could not help but wonder why such a beautiful creation was kept hidden. She sighed and when one of the workers passed by, she didn't notice her. She stared at her, from head to toe and judging from how she looked, messy hair from having fought so hard, rough clothes and a bleeding neck, she knew it had to be an intruder but luckily, as she was about to raise an alarm, Kathryn caught wince of her and covered her nose and mouth before dragging her into a corner that happened to be a bathroom. After some time, someone came out in the workers' outfit, looking all different and cleaned up. "The boss has asked to see you Adrianna, please go in now" Another employee told "Adrianna". She nodded before taking her face mask down with a smirk on her face. "To get my money, i guess I have to be Adrianna for a little while" she said to herself with a smile before walking forward. As she walked forward, she hid at various intervals so as not to get noticed by anyone till she came to an elevator. She walked in and on walking in, she bumped into a man. "Adrianna you....." he immediately recognized that she wasn't Adrianna and just as he was about to scream and raise an alarm, she dragged him back into the elevator and the door closed right in front of them. She walked out of the elevator on the last floor, her shirt a little blood stained but luckily, she always had her jacket with her and she put it over her before continuing to walk. She kept on looking around, trying to see if there was anything strange and on looking around, she finally realized something, the map that Daniel had shown her wasn't wrong... it was for this place and luckily, she had a good memory. She could remember where was where and how everything looked and she successfully made her way to the kitchen where the safe had been kept. She opened the freezer but there was nothing in it and on pushing the freezer, she saw a little painting. She removed the painting and saw that it required a pin to open the door that was behind the painting. "Classic!" She muttered to herself before taking a knife and breaking the lock down mode of the door, raising an alarm. Immediately the alarm was raised, she smiled to herself before going to hide beside the cupboard. It didn't take a minute before the guards came and on seeing the painting down, they quickly typed the pin and when she looked, she saw the safe.. it was behind the door. She quickly came out from hiding and sent knives through their bodies before rushing to the safe but on touching it, it raised an alarm but she didn't care. She rushed and locked the door before twisting the knob of the safe a few times and it opened. She smiled to herself and collected the files in the safe before going to hide beside the cupboard again. The goons rushed in and started looking around but while they looked around, she makes to escape. . She threw the file at Daniel while her wounds were treated by the doctor. "Do you now believe the extents to which I can go for money?" She asked. "I do believe it now" he told her and left. She winced in pain, she'd injured her neck severely and there had to be a few broken bones in it after her encounter with those goons. Daniel smiled to himself from the window as he stared at her getting her wounds treated. For some reason, seeing her in pain and knowing he was the reason she had gone on such a dangerous mission was as hurting as an arrow being passed through his chest. He couldn't explain why he suddenly didn't want her going on such missions any longer. He wanted to protect her, why? Not able to comprehend or understand how he felt anymore, he walked out of there and went to his room. He locked the door behind him and fell back on the bed after requesting for some drinks to be brought to him. "All my life... I have met different types of women, ones more desperate than she is for the money and many just after having intercourse but I have never met anyone who could make me so worried about them. What have you done to me Kathryn? I have only known you for a day and you're already making me crazy about you... why?" He spoke to himself as he rolled on the bed. Narrowing his gaze to the flower vase on the table, he smiled, he was about to play a little flower picking game. It sounded ridiculous but since the people in the movie liked using it, he also wanted to give it a try. He got off the bed and went to the flower and picked it before plucking one off, "I like her" he muttered and threw it to the floor. He plucked another, "I don't like her ". He kept on plucking flowers till it came down to the last one, "I like her" he muttered to himself before throwing the flower to the ground. "Who do you like?" A feminine voice asked and on turning, it happened to be Kathryn... He gulped.
