Murdering Love

Chapter 1 - Business

It was a very sunny day, probably the most sunny day of the month, but the bright star was already setting down. Not a lot of people were still working, mostly were already going home to their families or pets, or even both. Or none. That was Lauren's case.

Lauren Jauregui was a very successful woman, twenty five years old and already on the top. She was the CEO of a big company, her green eyes and black hair were the cover for those magazines that empower women.

The young woman was simply walking down a more empty streets, away from the main one where the building of her company was situated. A random man passes by her with a happy little dog, and two cars crossed the street, while a teenage girl was taking out the trash. It was peaceful. Lauren, still with her tight black dress and high heels from work, entered on a darker alley, that didn't exactly have the greatest smell ever. The dumpsters had stray cats, seeking for food, and even a rat running for his life. It was disgusting, but it was the safest way. At least the walls didn't seem that dirty, and so, she leaned on one, taking a cigarette off her bag and lighting it up. She smoked a few times, making the toxic smoke get stuck in her throat before letting it all go, feeling the stress from her work vanish slowly. The woman stayed there a few moments until she heard steps coming towards her direction. She immediately grabbed the small knife she had for protection and looked serious towards the sound. But the grip around the knife got more loose once she recognized the person coming towards her.

"I'm glad you finally arrived."

"Miss me that much already Jauregui?" The younger woman raised an eyebrow. She was dressing only black clothing, with a black mask covering her eyes. But her hair was black and long, and her eyes perhaps a grey or black colour, even if the mask made them seem more dark and dangerous.

Lauren rolled her eyes. "On your dreams only."

"Every night." She winked.

The older woman rolled her eyes again, even if her lips lightly turned into a small smile. "Anyways, business."

"Get naked then." She smirked more and got closer.

"N-not that kind of business. No, Princess we are in the middle of the streets." Lauren quickly said, getting a little flustered.

"So you want to go to a more private place Jauregui?"

"No." She said firmly. "What I want is to just give you the information you need, okay?"

"Okay, okay." She leaned against the wall. "You're blushing by the way." She messed with the woman.

The raven haired woman widened her eyes, actually blushing. "I am not."

"Gotcha you!"

"Ugh! Very immature." Lauren rolled her eyes and got her phone.

"You are no fun."

"I'm here to work, not to have fun."

"And I'm here for fun."

"Yes, but your fun is... In some ways different than mine."

"You are the one who doesn't want to have fun now."

"Because I have someplace else to be." She quickly showed a picture to Princess, handing her the phone. "That's the man I need you to kill."

The woman picked the phone and analysing the picture. "When?"

"As soon as you can without making it suspicious. I have a feeling the cops are up my ass." She groaned frustrated.

"How much do I get?"

"A few thousand."

"Half now."
