Assassin's Secret

chapter 15

Enzo's POV

There is way too much paperwork, too many numbers. You would think being an heir to one of the biggest mafia families ever would be fun, yet I'm spending Friday night calculating our losses in the explosion.

Demarco and Maurizio are probably at the club, or burying a body somewhere. It's always one or the other.

Classic Friday night.

Richmonds.... not sure what they are up to, but as long as they are not bothering me I could care less.

And the only one of them I'm actually worried about is Astralea.

That woman... she will be the death of me.

Maurizio barges into my office like he always does, covered in bruises, more than usual actually. He looks completely beat up.

Thats new. Did he get jumped again.

"You are not going to believe who I fought at the club today. "

"Rio, if you are going to tell me a story about how you knocked out another 400lbs man, I'm not interested. And based on the way you look, I think he knocked you out first. "

"Oh, so you don't wanna hear how I went to the club today and got my ass kicked by a woman."

What did he just say?

"And not any woman, the one and only Luna."

I froze, dropped my papers on my desk and looked at him.

Luna, at the club, in Florence. Same time as Astralea is here. Not a fucking coincidence.

But how would she get out from here. We got security everywhere, they would have told me that she left or tried to leave.

"Bullshit."

"Yeah? how many times do I look this beaten up. Let me tell you brother, she is more magnificent than I could have imagined. That power, that fury, just beautiful. And she is beautiful. Could have killed me, almost did actually. My first time loosing a fight, but totally worth it."

"Luna, class A assassin Luna, was in our little club?"

" I wouldn't call our club little but yeah. I guess she is in Italy on some assignment, maybe because of the Americans."

Yeah, I think Americans might actually be the main reason. It's her.

"Anyways, just wanted to tell you that you missed out. Honestly I'm not even upset that she beat me, I'm proud that I lasted as long as I did. She killed everyone else in under 30 seconds. What a woman. I wonder who she actually is." He said and left the office.

I might just know who. Is it a  coincidence of her being here same time as Astralea. It has to be her.

I need to know. But I don't think knocking on her door and asking if she is the famous assassin who I got into a fight with few weeks ago will be the best way to find out.

And does that mean that she knows who I am, that I am Hades.

Too many questions, and I need answers. I need them now.

I think my paperwork can wait. If that was her, at the club, then by now she should be back here. I should pay her a visit.

How did she leave in the first place. I don't think I should be surprised though.

Astralea's POV

God I smell like fucking beer. Shower, that's what I need.

I stripped down from my clothes and walked into the shower. Nothing feels better then this, a hot water pouring down onto me. I immediately scrub my body, I need to get rid of this smell before I lose my mind.

No wonder my sister is gay, men are fucking gross.

Well, some men, and there are some men that smell like men cologne and whiskey. Such a big difference between the smell of beer and whiskey.

One seduces you, the other makes you want to throw up.

I am already done taking a shower but now I just want to stand under this boiling hot water. Until I hear it, a sound. Someone is in my room, got in through the window.

After years of training I learned to hear sounds even though some other noise. That's how I knew.

I turn off the water and wrap the towel around me, pretending like I didn't hear anything.

While grabbing the towel I also grabbed my knife that I hid and proceeded walking out from the bathroom into the room.

I can feel him behind me. I stopped and he got closer. That scent. Enzo.

"It's not nice trying to attack someone from the back. " his response will give me the answer to the question I had for the past week.

"Wouldn't be our first time now, would it?" That's it, its him. Enzo is Hades. And he knows.

I turn around and he immediately attacks me, it's dark in the room and he didn't see my knife, so I cut the side of his neck with it. We keep on fighting, I got on my hand and grab his neck with my ankles flipping him. He falls and breaks the table.

Best part that towel is the only thing I have on right now. And it's holding strong.

He gets up for round 2 but then there is banging on the door. "Ma'am, are you alright?"

My security.

I turn around but he is gone, out of the window. Security barges in and turns on the light.

"Is everything okay? We heard some noise " they look down at the broken glass table and at the open window "was anyone in here. "

"Yes." I said "there was a spider on that table, but I killed it, so all good."

"You broke a table to kill a spider?"

"It was that or burning the whole fucking house down. Would you like me to choose the second option next time?"

"No ma'am. Have.... have a good rest of your night."

It sounds like the dumbest excuse ever, but I did once almost set up our guest house on fire because there was a wasp in it, so it's quite believable.

'Astralea, a secret class A assassin who is terrified of spiders ' ironic.

At least now I know one thing for sure, Enzo Moretti is Hades. And he knows that I am Luna. Well this is going to be fun.

Let's play a game of who is going to kill who first.
