Mafia's Assassin

Chapter 15

Three Months. Three months have passed since the ball and I am no further in finding what is needed to take down the Russians and make them pay.

I sit in the usual third booth with my Martini as my aquantance appears

"What's your name ?" Her eyes flick to mine as her dance begins

"I think it's more exhilarating not to know don't you ?" Her hands running down her barely covered chest.

"How was your get away ?"

"Good, I met a boy. Very handsome, dimples, brown eyes" as she sighs

"How long has that been going on ?" My finger circling the rim of my glass

"Two months, early stages but developing well. You should see the way he smiles" her eyes full of awe and I provide her a small smile, placing some bills into her panties, sliding from the booth.

*************
"Amore.." Nico pulls me by my jacket now pinning me to the wall in our hallway, his arms caging me in as my stomach flutters

"Six months of marriage and I find myself still wanting the embrace of your legs .." his finger catching my chin and tilting my head to his, Antonio immediately clears his throat, cheeks rather red. I smirk to Nico and tease him with my lips, gently brushing by as I slide under his arm

"Don't walk away Amore, I'm not finished with you.."

"Then come find me.." casting a glance over my shoulder as my eyes wonder from his groin to his lips, Nicos eyes darkening by the second.

Heading for the kitchen Mary scurries past, Angelo on her tail

"Leave me Angelo, I'm working !" Her voice exasperated

"Why won't you let me in love, I know what you need, what you want ..."

"I'm not interested in being your other woman Angelo ! Now get out" her finger pointing to the door that I enter through. Her eyes widening as her mouth dries

"Em- Emilie er .." running her hands though her hair casting glances to Angelo "he was just leaving .."

"Don't believe I was" casting a stern glance to her shaking head in frustration

"Don't worry about it I'm here for some tea and then I'll be out your twos hair !" Smiling to myself as I make myself a cup and leave.

Heading to my desk I find a large paper envelope. Placing my cup down and sliding open the flap, pouring the contents to my desk my eyes fall to the black and white photos. Tanika and my brother on a stroll, Nico exiting his car, Mary and Angelo wrapped in each others arms and the dancer from Junoesque.

I keep skimming through the photos looking for me or my father to be in the bunch, even my mother but nothing. Dropping to my chair, my hands run through my hair

They're watching us

Glancing from my window. Exhaling a large breath I'm going to have to strike them before they strike here. Looking to these pictures they are telling me they can get to me, hurt me in all these multiple ways, it's far to easy for them. So I need to make it easy for us. Leaving my room I find a camera, contact lenses, make up and an outfit.

Now to get these out of here ... deep in thought my bedroom door opens and I slide the contents in my arms under the bed.

"What are you doing ?" Luka stands in the doorway, his hands pocketed

"Dropped the back of my earring" groaning and jumping to my feet, I run my fingers down my pant legs "What you want Luka ?" He shrugs

"Having the usual, you in ?"
