Mr Popular and The Assassin

Chapter 30

"What do you mean you want me to kill Leonardo's mom?!" I slammed my hands on his table. " I'm sorry." I apologized when I noticed his straight face.

"You should use Leonardo to get closer to his mom." He suggested ignoring my outburst. "Get him to invite you to his house and then observe her before you do what you are supposed to."

" Why did you think to tell me that the person I'm about to kill is his mother?" My voice suddenly went down.

" Because it would be beneficial. Why do you feel strange? You won't disappoint me will you?" He narrowed his eyes at me and I shook my head.

" I-I will do it." I reassured him. "He's a pig though! I learned he tries to have his way with other girls."

" I don't care, just get it done!" He threw a smaller envelope at me which landed on the table. " That's an advance, so better do it. Do it and your father might live."

For my father. I'm sorry Leonardo.

I grabbed both envelopes and Rose to my feet.

"I'll do it. I'll get close to Leonardo and I'll do it." I reassured him while trying to reassure myself that I'll actually be able to do it.

When I got to my car, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Why does being assigned to kill his mom hurt me so much? I kill other people's mother's quite easily but yet I feel a strong pain in my chest for even thinking about it.

He's a bastard who tries to manipulate and assault young girls, who knows what his mom is like? I mean for someone to want her dead she must have done something.

"I have to kill her. I need the money." My eyes darted down to the passenger seat where the brown envelope filled with cash was placed.

When I got home, I was scared Keith would be waiting for me but he left which is good because I am not in the mood for silly talks.

"Rie did you go to work?" Iris questioned when I entered inside the house.

"Rie, Keith waited for you but he left because he had some urgent work."

" Rie did you visit a friend?"

Why are they all talking at the same time?

"Can you all just shut up for one second?!" I sighed and they still went quiet for like one second.

" Are you alright?"

" Did something happen?"

" Why are you upset?"

" Can we not do this right now?" I let out a tired sigh.

I walked up to my room and locked the door from the inside then fell on my bed.

The appropriate thing would be to not get close to Leonardo so I don't get my emotions mixed up in this but Boss wants me to get close to him, why? To make me suffer?

I loosened my ponytail then ran my hand through my hair.

What am I thinking? If I don't do this my father would suffer the consequences. I have to.

He's a pervert who you just met like a month ago and surely you can't risk your father's life and your sisters. It's most likely that if I don't kill her, they'll probably get someone else to do it.

I woke up to a very calm house. First we had breakfast in silence and then there wasn't the usual fight for the front seat today.
