Rival Temptations

Chapter 1

Lilith POV

The thigh sheath was pressed against my body tightly, holding the weapon that would kill the Russian Mafia's biggest enemy.

The Sinclair Twins.

I looked over my shoulder, looking at Esmerelda, my closest friend since a young age. We met when someone hacked into my family's mainframe.

My father was the leader of the deadly Russian mafia, me the sole heir and princess to the throne. When it was hacked, we went in search to kill the person, only to find a girl my age, abanded and left fending for herself. We naturally took her in, using her hacking skills to our advantage, but we became close, going on missions together.

Now, 8 years later we were being sent to the most elite and dangerous party of the year. It was when all the mafias, politicians, and dangerous people gather. We would be representing the Russian Mafia, single-handedly the best in history.

Esmeralda was wearing a dark red strappy dress, highlighting her dark olive skin tone and long legs. The thick diamond necklace sat on her collar bones with her dark black hair in curls, cascading down her back, but strategically covering her ears where we both had earpieces in to hear and talk to each other the whole time.

She was hiding a small gun under her dress, just as I was hiding a dagger on my thigh and hair.

"Lilith, we better get going, the car is here," she told me, a slightly nervous smile on her face.

It was normal, this was her first time meeting all the mafia leaders. I have met them a couple of times with my father, but he has been getting older and I have been taking over slowly.

I was wearing a slinky dark green dress with my hair half up and down, complimenting my smokey eyes and blood-red lipstick.

We walked out of the New York penthouse we rented out for the event. It was a chilly night, our breath visible even in the night.

We got into the limo, sitting, and began discussing the plan for the party.

I would introduce her to the guests and act normal, discuss recent developments, politics, threaten a few people...

Slowly as the night would go on, people getting drunk, enjoying the entertainment, Esmerelda would get Leonardo (The male twin) into a private room and I would corner Emera, the other twin.

The rest would be bloody, but we had to get it done. They posed a threat to our mafia and we took down all potential rivals. We had been trying to take down the Italian Mafia for years down and they us.

No luck.

But tonight, that will all change.
