Loving the Enemy

Chapter 1

Love.

Love is complete bullshit.

There is no real love. At least not in the world I live in.
In my world love is just a superficial expression that means nothing.

A word being used over and over again with no true meaning.

I used to think that even tho I got betrayed and been told lies, love would once come and find me.

Oh boy, how wrong I was.

I don't want it to find me anymore.

I have the people I need. No one else.

Love is a sick game people play and I'm not interested in being a part of it.

"Which color will your dress be again?" Sebastian asks me and Vanessa.

Sebastian and Vanessa are my best friends since childhood.

They were both the only people that never left and were with me even when I was at my lowest.

We are at home eating dinner and talking about the upcoming annual Mafia Ball that will take place in two days.

One of the days in the year I dread coming. Considering that my enemy will be there. It always ends in a bloodbath between the two of us. It's the time of the year where all Mafias put their feud to the side and play the best friend game.

"We already told you Seb it'll be black for the both of us." I inform him.

I look at Vanessa seeing her already looking at me and shaking her head with a small smile on her face.

Vanessa and I put on the same dress color every year and Sebastian is matching his bow tie with our dress. It's like a tradition.

"You know that de Luca will be there, right?", Seb asks me.

"When isn't he ever? He doesn't dare miss any chance to annoy me even if only with his presence." I narrow my eyes at Sebastian, "Why?", I ask cautiously.

"Well, I don't want you to try kill him again. Like last time." He mumbles the last part with an eyeroll. I give him a glare and he gives me a 'You-know-I'm-right'- look.

"He looked at me. That's enough reason for me to attack him."

"He didn't look at you though. You just imagined it!", Vanessa complained.

"We all know he looked at me. I mean come on! Who could resist my beautiful face?" They only roll their eyes in response, which I give them a sweet smile to.

"Look I understand you hate him but I think it destroys your reputation if you try to kill him on a ball where, originally, nobody should fight, remember?", Seb explained.

Ace and I have been rivals since the moment I conquered the first place. And that's the problem. We both share that first rank in most powerful Mafia across the world. And no one steals my place. I fought hard to come this far and I'm not going to let anyone steal that from me.

There's only one person on top. And that will be me.

Today I have a little business to do, which I am not really happy about.

But I am kind of happy about the fact that I might be able to kill someone today.

Hopefully.

I change into some red suit pants, a red corset and a red blazer with black heels. I put on some light make up because I already have no energy to do too much now and just put on some nude lipstick. I style my blonde hair in a high ponytail and leave some strands out. I put some knifes and a gun in the back of my pants.
