Blood Lust

Chapter 13

Smith Roberts, that's the poor soul that I have to kill. I wonder what he did to piss off Ace. Did he free one of Ace's dead souls? I don't think I'll ever know what this guy did to my husband. But I have to kill him anyway.

How am I going to do this, should I make it quick and easy or should I try and impress my husband to make it slow and painful? I thought to myself. I decided to make his death quick and easy, he didn't deserve a death that Ace was willing to make happen.

I started researching right away, trying to find this guy on my computer but there was nothing on him. It's almost like this guy doesn't exist.

"Ace! I can't find anything on this guy!" I yelled out to him. Trying to find something on this guy is going to be more difficult than I thought.

"Darling, what? I couldn't hear you from downstairs." He said, I turned around and found my husband shirtless with sweatpants on. He looked absolutely delicious but I couldn't think about that at that moment. I had to find out who this guy was so I could get as much information as I could about this man. I needed to know his every move and most of all, I needed to know what he looked like.

"Hello, Ace. I need to find out Mr. Roberts' every move so I can find out what decisions he'll make and where I should kill him." I said with no emotion detected in my voice. I didn't want him to know I was heavily attracted to him right now.

"Darling, if you truly needed me for that then why are you blushing?" He asked. I automatically turned red with anger.

"Shut up, Ace! I just need to find out more about this guy!" I snarled viciously. He put his hands up with a smile on his face. He had amusement in his eyes as if my getting mad at him was entertaining to him.

"Try me, Ace, I will take away you touching me, kissing me, having sex with me for a month if you try me right now. I am still pissed at you for tricking Agni into letting you have me." I said with a smirk on my face while looking at my computer.

"Alright you win, I already did my research I'll let you know where he is and what he looks like when we get to the ball." He said with nervousness clear in his voice. He was scared he'd make me more angry and I'll actually take that stuff away.

"Alright, but what ball? No one mentioned to me about a ball." I was definitely confused. Like why would you take me to a ball without asking me first? Plus this was my assignment. Not his.

"Oh right, the ball is where you will kill Smith Roberts. He will be there with his wife. His kids will be at home at that time so we should be in the clear." He said with no emotion.

He has kids!? What the fuck is wrong with Ace?! I thought. No, nothing was wrong with Ace but I just thought that was insanely fucked up. But I was going to do it anyway. At least they would have another parent to keep them safe.

I didn't want to take a person's life but if it pleased Ace, I would've done it. With no hesitation. My co-dependency really showed there.

My life really had turned upside down. At one point I promised myself never would I kill a person ever again. But then the minute Ace came into my life he showed me I wanted to do this for him. That I would've done anything for him because I loved him.

I thought I was going insane for thinking that way. Maybe I was, But I'd still do it. I would always do it for him. He was and still is my everything.

"Okay," I said not taking the time to bat an eye at what he said. He looked at me funny. His eyebrows scrunched up and his lips were turned into a frown. I didn't know why he was so confused.

"Why do you have that face?" I said not turning around from looking at the computer, I was still trying to find some stuff on him. So I decided to go deeper and look into the dark web.

The first thing that came up was an underground girl auction. Basically, they were trading girls for money to a bunch of corrupt people. Like billionaires and senators, and some more people that I just don't know about.

That explained why Ace wanted him dead, but I couldn't find a picture of this guy for anything. Even Ace's life.

"I am confused because I mentioned kids and you didn't even blink," Ace said while I was still researching. I sighed heavily and turned around to look at him.

"Look if I'm going to be an assassin for the rest of my life, I might as well get used to the fact that they might have a family." I looked at him with wide eyes and he nodded, turned around, and walked out the door.

I was shocked he didn't say anything else. He usually tried to be the last to say anything in a conversation. It was out of the ordinary for Ace, that's for sure.

I continued my research but I couldn't find anything more on Smith Roberts, turns out that was the only thing he messed up on in the underground world.

I did find out his wife and kids' names. His wife's name was Tanya, and their two sons were named Tommy and Sammie. But that's all I could find on them. Nothing about them seemed like they were involved in the underworld that Smith was in.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary with this family, other than the man of the house being involved in an underground sex trade ring. Which was very strange.

Why would I guy with a perfect life go for the underground life? I thought to myself, trying to reason with myself the reason why a guy would go for a terrible life constantly on the run from law enforcement. But I guess some people want out of the ordinary rather than ordinary, while other people want the exact opposite.
