Hermosa Asesina

eight

I sat on the bed trying to understand the events of today.

Kidnapped. Killed five men. Met the most dangerous man in the world. Trying to fathom what happened to me in just twenty-four hours felt impossible. My mind wandered into the events of Forrest.

It has taken me all day to realize this is the first time I've killed anyone since the military. I don't feel any remorse for the lives I've taken. Today or in the past. No person I've killed has not deserved to die.

As I tried to clear my mind of the events a new thought popped up.

Kaden.

My older, stupider, useless, fuck of a brother. I should have fucking killed that dumbass the second I got the chance. I could have died today if Nathan didn't step in for me. All because that sick fuck is my brother.

The day he dies would be the day peace is brought back into the world

My eyes opened to meet Tatum standing over me.

"Tate, what the fuck." I say getting up.

"Tell me where you were, now."

"Nowhere of your concern, now get out," I say throwing a pillow at him.

"I'm being serious Maddie, especially if it required you to buy whatever the fuck you're wearing." He said pointing to my dress. I was so tired yesterday I had forgotten to take it off. "Maddie, if you have a boyfriend I could care less but at least tell me when you go out." I stared at Tatum as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Tate, I don't have a boyfriend." I say walking to my closet to find sweats to wear.

"Good, I miss Nat." Tatum says standing up. I pick out a black cropped top and some gray sweats before turning to him.

"Me and Nathaniel are done, understood." We look at each other before he sighs and licks his lips.

"Understood." He says walking out, closing the door.

I put the clothes on and start walking to the bed before Tatum yells my name.

I start walking out the door wiping my eyes before looking up.

Fuck.

Santiago stares at me with a file of paper in his hand.

"Madeline," Santiago said walking into the room. "May I speak with you?" Tatum stares at us both before scoffing and stomping to his room.

"Why are you here?" I ask walking up to him and closing the door behind him.

"We have business to attend to. I saw that you need rest after the events of yesterday so I thought it would be best I came here." I stared at him in disbelief and groaned.

"Follow me," I said turning around and walking to my room. When he walked in I closed the door behind him and turned the TV on.

"Why are you doing that?" He asked pointing to the TV.

"So Tate can't hear this, the walls are thin," I said walking over to the door and locked it. "What do you want?"

"There are some people I need you to deal with." He says handing the file of papers to me. "I saw that you wouldn't need much adjusting regarding your history."

I rolled my eyes and opened the file.
