"But that's good right, now you have someone"
"I wanted someone not a whole baseball team for god sake"
"Well technically it's nine players so.....R-right you are right" he stutters noticing the death stare I am giving him.
I pinch the bridge of m...
"27, 28, 29, 30" I count finishing my push-ups. I get up from the floor and take my towel and wiped my fallen sweat. I glance at the clock it says 9:05 am which means I have been working out for three hours. I go sit on the bench I grab my phone and check my messages. I find one from Dema it says. : Hey Lil remember that hit that we were preparing for two months well it was yesterday and we did real good Dimitri thankfully killed the right guy this time and we got the product I inform you we are okay in the agency but still it isn't the same I hope you're doing good.
I smile at his message he has been sending these reports every day informing me about everything I appreciate it but I am afraid I won't be back like I promised.
I never wanted to rule the mafia after what happened to me because of it I thought I will just give it to someone good enough And leave, that's it. But turns out dad had other plans. After the will and the responsibilities he had given me. Looks like I need a whole new plan. My head hurts from all the thinking. A presence in the room caught my attention I write a reply to Dema. I feel someone sneaking from behind I look up and realize it's Kazimir "Don't even think about it" I hear an annoying groin in response "how did you know it was me?" he says coming in view and stomping his leg like a toddler whining.
"Simple" I start leaning back in my seat
"first you like that particular type of perfume Voyage to be specific and you're the only one that will snick up from behind me in this house because guess what I am their boss" I explained he looks rather surprised that I remembered his favorite perfume. "Oh, and I saw your reflection in the glass over there so you didn't think that through" I finish. "Okay, okay I get it your good at everything and blah blah blah," he says moving his hand sarcastically. "Are you done working out?" he asks "Yeah"
"then care for a drink" he suggested "Vodka?" "Well it's your house" he exclaimed "True" I head to my room and point at the bar in The corner "fixes us a drink will you?" He hummed in response. I go change from my workout clothes to formal wear for the meeting.

It's still a little bit cold but I don't get cold easily, I wouldn't say I like the heat I prefer the cold weather. I get out of the bathroom then I see Kazimir sitting in the chair in front of the opened balcony staring into the fields ahead holding two glasses of alcohol it's a bit cloudy today but there is light siping from them like a usual October.
"I spoke with Alexie today," I say stepping to his side and pulling a chair to sit on it. "How did it go," he asks still looking ahead and handing me a glass of straight vodka "pretty good actually" I say siping my drink "good. Then where is he now?" He asks sounding a little surprised that I and my brother's relationship is doing good "he said he will go through some work in the sector just to make no one suspect anything thank goodness one of his colleagues is taking care of it and sending him emails" He nods then changes his attention to the front I do the same.
My eyes are looking at green fields and roses and butterflies but I can't help but think about the places I have been to and the things I committed and what the older me did. that person makes me shiver, goosebumps all over my body I was a psychotic and it makes me wake up every night wishing that I hadn't passed that test or I should have not let it take over me. I was in the dark for so long
and I
had
enough.
"Remember the last time we did this?" I hear him say "did what" I question "had a drink together," He said. I remember it was right before the... "it was right before you were fabricated and killing chief's...." He added making pain shot in me
"I didn't do it," I say with sorrow voice my hand tightens around the glass until it turns white "I didn't kill him"
"even though I was proven innocent some people still didn't believe me. I did not kill my closest friend I didn't do it" I argued.
"I am sorry" I hear him he furrows his eyebrows the look of guilt in his eyes. "I am sorry I wasn't there for you I was in the dark about what happened to you for so long and I totally regret that but I am here now and I am not leaving this time I want to know what happened but I will wait," he says with watery eyes but not one threatened to fall "thanks for understanding," I say putting my hand on his shoulder.
I get up and put the empty glass of alcohol on the table I hear a phone ring I reach for my back pocket but it's not mine it's Kazimir I turn to look at him and I see him frozen in place looking at the caller id.
I step closer and glance at the phone It's his brother. I understand the reaction
I put my hand on his shoulder "What about you take this and I go wait for you in the meeting room," I say taking away the glass and sitting it next to mine "it's 9:45 you have Time" I finish getting out of the room and leaving him with the phone call.
--------------------------------------✿ I went to find Alexie but it's not going well. Where is he? I can't find him anywhere. Umm, let's see Alexie looks like a quiet guy. quiet people find places so no one can find them after a certain amount of time.
I do that often but not that good. where could he be?
"Hellebora?" I hear from behind I stop dead in my tracks no one called me that except for Kazimir. it's been so long.
"Oh my god she killed her"
"What divisive child"
"Behold the deadliest assassin of all Hellebora"
"Hellebora you are charged with treason after murdering Derek Murphy and threatening the mafia rulers"
"It's all your fault Hella you did this"
All the voices are coming back. make them stop. Please make them stop.
