WANTED

If I don't leave this place as soon as possible I might end up killing someone and I won't be held responsible for my actions.

Who do they take me for? some stupid damsel in distress? it even annoys the hell out of me to think of myself as one.

My father happens to be the Don of the Russian mafia and keeps me away from anything that concerns the mafia, they never let me in on anything. Whenever I ask a question I'm told to stay out of it and my dad in his famous words " the mafia is no place for a woman" and I wonder if all the other women I see parading the mansion had their balls cut off.

This brings me back to my present predicament, I was arguing with my dad to let me go with them on their new assignment, but what do I get? He again throws his famous words at me.

I sigh in frustration because well since I'm being nice he isn't taking me seriously so it's either my way or the highway.

I smile to myself as my beautiful evil plan begins forming in my head. I can't wait to start, let's see who the real boss is.

I go back to my room looking defeated, well that was what I want them to believe. A helpless-looking damsel. I couldn't help but laugh evilly to myself. If only they knew what was coming their way.

I entered my room and made sure the door was securely locked behind me. Immediately the door was locked I ran to my laptop on my bedside table and jumped on my bed.

A girl gotta make herself comfortable, especially when watching a life movie.

They think I'm stupid, poor Don's daughter. They wish. They never tell me anything so I have my ways, a girl gotta do what she has to do. So that is why I'm sitting on my bed watching my dad and his men make their secret plans. Yeah I know I said they never let me on anything, but that doesn't mean I don't know everything. Like I said I have my ways.

I listened in on their plan silently. Oh and if you are wondering how I can watch them, let's just say that beautiful picture of me my dad has in his office has the answer. You can figure out the rest yourself. They look so serious. I bet you anyone who disturbs them at the moment would get a bullet to the head. Not like I won't like the extra drama.

They go over their plan and I watch them not missing a single word, everything sounds easy to achieve like taking a walk in the park. But who am I kidding, there is no such word as easy in the mafia.

By the end of their meeting, I already had wicked ideas coming together in my head waiting to be unleashed. I can't wait for the action.

Damsel in distress about to be their distress.

I woke up with a devious plan in mind, I had never felt so in control of my life as I was feeling at the moment. It was time that I proved to my father I was more than what he saw me for.

He didn't think I was capable, he thought me weak. Well, things were about to change.

I did my business, got dressed in comfortable clothes, and went down for breakfast, you can't possibly expect a girl to carry out her devious plan on an empty stomach do ya?

I love food sue me. As I went into the kitchen I saw the maid Martha setting the table. I greeted her and got busy with my food.

As I just finished my food I saw the first focus of my first plan coming towards the kitchen.

Gabriel.

He is my father's most trusted and without him out of the way I can't achieve anything I have in mind.

Let's get some action started, shall we? Hm"Hey Gabriel," I said as he came into the kitchen grabbing a mug for his coffee. "Cara". That was his simple response. Oh, I think we didn't do a proper introduction, I'm Cara Elena Santiago, yeah that's me, let's leave the rest for another time.

Back to business. I had devised a plan that would make Gabriel take a drink with me. Knowing him, I'm not going to ask him now because he'll ask why I'm so interested in drinking early this morning, besides it is too risky to have him missing this morning.

As for now, I'll act like a damn princess they think me to be.

"Gabriel," I called he turned to look at me like it was a sin to have his name from my mouth. Let's just let that slide, no snarky remarks as of now, and besides Gabriel has been my favorite amongst all other of my dad's men and I almost feel bad for what I have planned for him. keyword, almost. nothing is stopping my plan.

Coming back to the present.

"Gab I'm so bored, no one has my time in this mansion I'm all alone." He looked at me like I had suddenly grown two horns muttering ..

"how does that have anything to do with me?". I got down from the stool I was sitting to have breakfast and walked up to him putting my most innocent face and a charming puppy dog eye.

" Gabriel you know you are the only one my dad lets me talk to or even look at, don't look at me like I want to confess feeling for you I'm not. I'm just trying to negotiate here," I told him as he had that look like he was about to run if a made any confession.

Basically, everyone was scared of even looking at me. The mafia Don's daughter.

Only Gabriel has some basic privileges. He's still looking at me weirdly.

"Gabriel please can you have a drink with me later, besides you all are going to leave me here later all by myself. Alone and bored. So at least you should give me this little attention I'm seeking. It's not like I ask you to have drinks with me every day."

"I can't I have things to do," he replied.

"Things like what?" I had to ask and show my curious face acting all innocent. Can't let him know I know the "things" he was referring to.

I blink my eyes putting my puppy dog's eyes on, he can't refuse me with this look.

" You are one living distraction, not like I can refuse you anything"...he said.

" Just one drink and you're on your own."

I couldn't control my excitement as he chuckled at me and left the kitchen.

If only he knew what my excitement was all about. He'd seize that chuckle of his.

Hmm, I can't wait.

I was being impatient for the said "later" to come after I left the kitchen. it's almost evening and almost time to activate my plan.

If you are wondering what this fuss is all about then I have to make things clear.

According to what I heard from the picture on the wall. I didn't do anything wrong...stop looking at me like that.

Ok, so my dad has this obsession with ruining the Italian mafia. The guy has been on his nerve and a thorn in his flesh which he has to remove...his words, not mine.

There's this big ball and every mafia family has to attend...basically anyone that has anything to do with the underworld...if you know what I mean.

So the plan is to blow the old motherfuckers head and get the hell outta there.

Poor old guy...never imagined his life being ended by a damsel, I won't say cut short because I believe the fool must have had a fair share of life. so I'm not cutting it short, just ending it.

"Gabriel, Gabriel, you can't run from me."

I'm basically echoing the whole house with my loud calling of Gabriel's name, but right now I didn't care.

After fifteen times of calling his name later...yes, I counted and no he didn't answer me, but I still found him...cleaning his babies.

If you are wondering...he's as single as can be and has no kids..so what could possibly be close to his heart to clean? His guns, duh.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you" I said.

"So I've heard" Came his simple reply. This man feels like saying more than one word is a crime or a waste of breath. I'm not gonna hold him for that, the world is full of lousy people. Keep your thoughts to yourself, I'm not lousy.

"Let's get this done with," He said making his way to the bar we have in the sitting area.

No no no no I screamed in my head not that one. I quickly rushed to him and linked my elbow with his. I have to act and think fast, bring a better reason why we can't drink here.

"Not this one Gabriel, I don't want everyone giving those judgmental eyes when they see us drinking together, you know I can't handle it" I'm basically wearing my innocent face..fake it till you make it.

" I have the right place for us, come with me" I told him dragging him by the elbow toward paradise.

" There's this special wine I've always wanted to try but there were just too many in the collection and it wasn't time to be tasted yet, but since you're here I wanna try it with you." I said as I opened the cellar door and drew him inside. Closing it successfully behind us.

"Make yourself comfortable while I bring the wine and the glasses."

I make a show of searching for the wine. Firstly to waste time, because, Gabriel has about thirty minutes before he leaves.

According to their plan, he leaves early and has everything ready before everyone comes an hour or two later. Secondly, I can't have him suspecting anything...what would he think if I just had it all set...well he might not suspect a thing...but it is never wrong to be careful.

"Got it," I said loud enough for him to hear me. I get myself the wine glass and get him a whiskey glass.

" Men like this glass more" I told him..handing him the whiskey glass while I quietly take my sit beside him.

" Why don't you do me the honor of opening the wine?" I said handing the bottle over to him. He took it from me muttering "Dramatic woman"

He opened the bottle with a loud popping sound while I clapped and cheered in achievement. Quietly he put the wine in my glass first and then in his. We toasted to nothing in particular as I took a sip of my wine, while I waited with bated breath as he swirled his wine in his cup...perfect, I thought to myself...quietly as and then slowly he took the whole drink in one gulp.

I watched silently as he raised his head to meet my innocent face...then I watched him struggle to form words as my face broke into a smile...

"Di...ii.ddd...y..oo..uuu...drrru...uug...mm...eee... " he slurred. I almost felt bad as I watched him.

But remembering I'll be helping him tonight while all he does is sleep peacefully I burned down any stupid regret. He made eye contact with me while he stumbled unsteadily on his feet.

"Come on Gabriel, don't look at me like that I'm only doing you a favor...you'll thank me later...so don't struggle...just go to sleep, when you wake up everything will be alright."

He stumbled a few more times before finally going down into unconsciousness.

Let the game begin.
