Lilith POV
"Not what but who" I hear Kazimir from behind.
'What are they talking about?'
I am cleaning the chicken when I hear them talk but I can't hear them. the last sentence is what I hear but it doesn't help.
"Hey, Alexei" I call "chop these" I give the cutting board and a knife then two onions and some garlic.
"хорошо" he replies and starts smashing the garlic and I go back to what is in my hand. (okay)
--------------------------------------☆☆☆
I made 'Гедлибже' it's a Russian plate I found online it's a chicken stewed in thick cream sauce with onions and garlic.
I finish cooking and I serve them the plates they thank me and I sit down and dig in.
The dinner is silent there is no sound except the sound of clicking forks on the plates.
I glance at Alexei who is deep in thought eating silently.
"What's on your mind," I ask
He brings his head up hesitantly looking.....nervous, lost?
I shake my head to get his attention.
"Oh umm," he says coming back and putting his fork down "I was just thinking about umm......the will yes, the will," he says catching up on his thoughts.
Why is he nervous?
"Well, whatever you have in mind. Say it" I tell him
I am trying to break the ice here.
"Yeah.....Ummm....what I want to know is....umm...what are you exactly planning to do? you know after hopefully finding our siblings?"
He asks
"Well at first I wanted to take them in. But thinking about it they might hate father for leaving them I won't blame them honestly. but they have a right in father's money and all so I am thinking of giving them a choice" I explain "it's either come and live in here with the mafia and take what is their's or to live their own life outside the mafia and still take what their's. I don't want to drag them in this life" I continue
I thought about that in the car. like what if they have a family of their own? taking them in means leaving their family and living in this cruel world. I know they are already in it because they have father's blood but still there is a chance
"Yeah you are right" he sighs quietly
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Kazimir says sounding annoyed
"What could that be," I say resting my head on my hand.
"You have an assassin on your back, remember?"
"A what?!" Alexei yells surprised
"Oh yeah, forgot about that"
"And you call me the forgetful one"
"Whatever, it's not that important," I say rolling my eyes
"Yeah bu-"
"Can we go back to the part where he said an assassin on your back ?" Alexei yells cutting Kazimir.
"Rude" Kazimir mumbles
"Yeah what about it," I say glaring at Kazimir.
"How are you calm about it?" Alexei reply
"This isn't the first time someone hires an assassin on me and if I want I could just find and kill them but..."
"But....what"
"I don't want to"
"Why is that"
"Because I think they have something to do with the will"
They just keep silent
"Why are you saying that?" Kazimir says cutting the silence
"Think about it, the timing on the assassination it's suspicious"
"Why can't you assume that they are just dad's enemies"
"Because if they were they could have taken the shot already," I say but they just stare at me blankly
I sigh "look the funeral was three days after dad's death okay if they are what you think they are they could have just killed me or tried right after his death but no they did it after the funeral you know why," I say raising my eyebrows waiting for an answer "in most cases, the will get executed after at least 3 months but that if there are many relatives still alive so a court should handle it but in my case, it's probably right after the funeral,"
silence
"What I mean is they either want to know what's in the will or..."
"Anyone that knows about it" Alexei finishes my sentence
"There you go," I say sighing in relief I started to think I was speaking the wrong language
Kazimir nods his head understanding "okay and what if you are right what are going to do about it" he asks
"Oh I have something In mind don't worry"
"If you say so"
"Okay back to our thing I have something to say"
They both hum in response
"Well I was thinking about how am I going to find my siblings and of course my laptop and a sheet of paper full of names will not do it"
"It won't?"
"No, Kazimir so I thought about getting a hand"
"From who"
"At tomorrow's meeting I am announcing and laying orders for sector but it's staying in the sector"
"Wait what?"
"You can do that"
They both say in The same time
"Then what is the point of keeping it a secret if you are telling it to a whole sector that's naive and what makes you sure that assassin isn't in them"
"Do you have any other idea" I annoyingly ask
"No but there have to be something else did you think that through" he says
"Think it through" I say slowly standing from my chair tilting my head
I deadly stare at him and say "now listen to me Alexie Von Volkov you look like you need one of the lessons I gave every assassin in my agency NEVER question my Decisions you better know that I thought about it and every consequences that could happen and NEVER make me repeat myself did I make myself clear"
"Crystal" he says with cold eyes and then I turn around and leave
I know I overreacted and that wasn't necessary at all but he needs to know and I too that we are still strangers and he doesn't know me and in order to know me you will have to see my worse before you see my best.
my anger and impatiens is just the surface of my dark side
