Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 30

"I was waiting for this. Spit it out Mr. Angello, What do you want in return?" Alexa questioned him while raising an eyebrow.

"One mission." he raised his index finger to show the number, "Only one mission. Do it for me and I give you my word no one would dare to force Bianca into this marriage."

Alexa's eyes widened in shock. She chuckled in disbelief," Y-You are not serious are you?"

" You know me, Mia."

Alexa felt her lips quiver," Y-You promised. You p-promised never again. That it would be the last time."

" And I am true to my words." Dom said nonchalantly, leaning back against the sofa comfortably," You know me, Alexa, I am the man of my words. I told you I would never force you into it and I am not."

" But you said if I take over the company you would never send me back t-there," she managed to speak with a shaky voice. 

Dominic gave her a small smile," Mia you can always choose not to do it. I would simply just carry on with the wedding no big deal."

Taking a deep breath trying to compose herself Alexa asked him," You have so many men working for you, so many people. Why do you have to get me involved?"

"Clearly they all failed Mia. You are my greatest weapon and at this point, you are the only option I am left with."

Alexa felt her eyes stinging with tears, She looked to the other side trying not to show them to anyone in the room.

How low could this man get? Greatest weapon? Ha... ha... no one would believe him if he said he was talking about his OWN granddaughter. His flesh and blood. He destroyed my entire childhood and when I finally escaped from that hell, he is pushing me back into it? Does he not care for either of his granddaughters?

While Alexa was busy with her thoughts, Maria who had been quiet all this time finally spoke up," D-Dad, please. Don't send her there again. Alexa finally got away from there, Why are you doing this to her? She can't even sleep properly at night because of those nightmares. You said if she handles the company you will never send her back to Spain or Italy. Then why?"

Alexa kept on staring at the ground. It was the first time Maria actually spoke up against her father-in-law, especially trying to protect her husband's niece. This had never happened in this house before, for the twenty years Alexa had been there.

"Maria!" Federico shouted her name in a warning tone.

"I think you should stay out of this Maria and you are being overdramatic," Dominic said while waving his hands," It's a matter of one month and I am pretty sure Alexandra will be just fine."

Alexa's eyes widened to hear that," One month?!! What exactly are you sending me to do? What the heck will take that long."

Dominic let out a hearty laugh," What do you think I am sending you to do? Snipe down an old man on the streets of Italy? It's not that easy my child."

She tightened her fists," Who is the target?"

A victorious smirk made its way to Dom's face. He took out his phone and opened up a picture in it.

He handed over the phone to Alexa, signaling to look at it.

Alexa furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She had no clue who she was looking at, Raising her head to look at her grandpa she asked him," Who is this?"

"The snitch." Alexa's eyes widened upon hearing the name.

Nodding his head Dom said," It's exactly the one you are thinking about. Swipe to the next photo."
