It is presently 7 am in the morning and today I will disappear from my sons' lives.  At least they will be happy.  I look in the file of info, making sure to be ready. 

When: Tomorrow at 11 pm
Where: The Ace spades club
Weapon: Gun sent to your apartment
Who: Alexei Petrov, 26, brown hair, grey eyes, 6'2

The reward is 1M if you bring his body to the nearest trash can. 

I didn't take the chance and settled to just kill him and hide his body somewhere. 

Last night, a gun was slid under the door.  It was a silent gun and it had protection on.  I hid it somewhere my sons would never look to make sure they didn't get hurt. 

I dedicated my whole day to spend it with my boys.  I even asked Matteo to leave us because it was the last day I would see them.  My loves.  The persons I love the most. 

I never felt like this for anyone.  Not even Matteo.  I tucked a strand of hair behind their ears and they ran to the swings.  I chuckled.  "Mamă! (Mommy!"  I ran to them and pushed on their swings.  They swung back and forth as I kept pushing them.  At one moment, Nikolai screams at the top of his lungs.

"Mamă, poți să nu mă mai împingi! (Mom, you can stop pushing me!)" 

Nikolai was always the strongest one.  He always protected his brother and I loved it about him.  He always set an example for Matthew and they both shared everything. 

He wanted to show how powerful he was and I couldn't agree more.  He was proud of being like this.  Matthew, loved his bubbly personality and I encouraged him to keep it. 

He said people were making fun of him and I talked with 'people' and they never spoke to my son again, too scared I would come slaughter them at night.  He never asked what I said, instead he would kiss me and tell me I'm the best. 

I wasn't.  But I tried.

When we got home, it was 4 pm.  We had went to do activities and I felt again sick to my stomach.  "Mama, you can eat now since we have a lot." Nikolai said after preparing a plate of fruit for him and his brother.  I told him I wasn't hungry and went to the bathroom. 

I vomited.  Again. 

I went to the room and Matthew had made something for me.  I really wasn't hungry but when I saw his smile, I couldn't resist and tasted his creation.  It was strawberry with sugar and sliced oranges, cut in funny shapes since he couldn't use a knife. 

I ate everything and hugged him tightly. 

Then, I heard a scream.  I turned around, running quickly to Nikolai who had cut his finger.  He was crying and I kissed his tears and took a napkin and water, telling him to relax.  "Be a brave boy and then you won't feel a thing.  Think about the time where we went to go get ice cream." I said as I finished wiping the blood.  I placed a band-aid and kissed his index finger.

It was 10 pm.  I needed to get there now.  I placed my black shirt and a leather jacket with black pants.  I hid my gun in the inside pocket of my jacket and left my phone hidden in the apartment because it was obligated in the infos. 

I put the twins to bed and left, shedding a few tears before leaving the loves of my life with Matteo. 

I arrived at the club and didn't order any drinks.  I needed my head clear so I simply stayed in the lunging area.  It was only at 11:05 that someone matching the descriptions arrived inside.  I kept my eyes away, making it unobvious I was ever staring.
