Loving the Enemy

Chapter 5

Anna POV

I quickly take out my daggers, one in the right, and the other in the left hand while Ace takes out his gun.

We quickly make our way back into the room, greeted with full chaos. Corpses lying across the room and even more people being shot by masked men.

I frown as I look at the men in masks, slightly tilting my head as I inspect them.

Why do they seem familiar?

I'm caught out of my trance when someone tackles me to the ground. I groan but react quickly, stabbing my dagger into his neck. I get his heavy body off me, swiftly getting back up, simultaneously picking up my other dagger that has fallen throughout my fall.

Someone starts shooting my way. I look to my right, seeing a big guy with a gun in his hands. He shoots again and I manage to just in time dodge it, when suddenly, he stands before me.

Damn he's tall.

He starts to throw punches my way. I dodge him again, stabbing him in the stomach, but clearly not enough to knock him out. He lifts his gun to shoot me, but I take my elbow and hit him in his elbow pit.

But lucky me he pulled the trigger. His gun did fall, yes. But the bullet still hit my thigh.

I slightly groan in pain, but don't show that it really affected me.

He punches me in the stomach with his knee, then in my face. I fall to the floor, blood spilling from my mouth and my stomach hurting.

Damn, no need to be so mean. I have done nothing bad to you.

He lays on top of me now put this time, I am not going to let him hurt me anymore. I lift my hips, letting him fall, switching positions.

Now I am on top of him. I punch him in the face several times, making him weak. Then in the stomach again. Several times.

A few moments later I get tired because it's no fun anymore. So I stab the guy between his eyes.

I get up from the floor, standing tall again, breathing heavily.

I look at Ace, only to see him looking behind me. He lifts his gun and shoots this someone.

"If I wouldn't be here, you would probably be dead by now, bella."

"Oh, please Ace, don't make a fool out of yourself." I roll my eyes at him and walk in his direction.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, mi amore." He says in a warning tone, raising one eyebrow.

I do it again. I roll my eyes, and I provoke him. "We have bigger problems idiot."

I now stand in front of him, seeing how his jaw clenches and unclenches.

"Whatever." he now looks around the room, probably so he doesn't have to deal with my beauty, because trust me, I know it can be overwhelming to look in the mirror and always see something pretty.

I sometimes really can be narcissistic.

I look around the room, too, seeing a guy who is still alive. I walk towards him and the idiot, aka Ace, follows.

I kneel and take off his mask, inspecting it. And there I see it, the Japanese Mafia Brand.

I knew I recognized them.

They call themselves the 'Baipā', translated to Viper.

"That doesn't make sense" Ace mutters beside me.
