||'Route for My love'||

'PART 7'

"You're asking me for a friendship in the so-called battle, love?" The endearment left my mouth involuntary. Like we both were thinking of the same thing.

Andrea's eyes widened, shaking her head, "Sorry but I might call the battlefield our life and Addition to this, Our siblings are literally dating." She gave a matter-of-fact smile.

"You're accepting defeat, Hm?" A smirk tugged my face. She took a deep breath, "It's not 'defeat'. It's call compromising."

"Uh...Huh..." I said, sarcastically. "look, We're not friends, but not enemies either. 'Kay? And-"

"Oh Dio.." Said she. I instantly recognized the term. She's Italian. A fucking..amor.

"You're italian?" I asked, her accent of english was so good that i just thought she was british. Until now. 

"O-ofc." She said, picking out her phone. "Excuse me." And there she left.

My gaze reached our siblings and saw them enjoying together. Dancing. I've never saw Deren so comfortable and trusty to someone before. For him and I, things weren't...well. But I'm glad, he found a solace in woods or maybe...a beauty. Just then, My phone rings up.

"Hello?" 

"We found the target, sir. He's near you're location." 

My expressions darkened, "Send me the location and send Ben on the spot."

I opened the guy's picture on my phone. 

Elva Ranmore, a drug dealer, millions of businesses, and the one who's going to die from my own hands. 

I reached the location where ben was, not so far from the ball.

"I gotchu you're baby, Denzel." He spoke. Ben was never the type of interact much, but he's close to only some people, one of which is me. He handed me my gun. But i fully intent to kill him with other than my gun.

"I know you're not gonna use it, but hey, we don't know life. And..Also get the information from him, K?" He said, i raised my eyebrows, "Ordering me?" He raised his hands up in a surrender, "No sirr. I'm leaving. good luck." He left. 

As I enter inside the alley, I saw him taking another deal with the hander. Oh wow. fucking Friday the 13TH.

"Well..well.." I cooed, stepping closer. Both of the men got startled, looking at me with pure shock. "Elva...so nice to meet you in person." I smiled, but all that he could see was a cold embrace of his death. The hander tried to run away but only one shot of gun took to stop his step. Even his heartbeat.

"Now..Now..We have some unfinished business." I said, locking the gun in the barrier and then moving closer. I could study him whole. Acting like he's one bit unafraid, and from inside, his dick might be shivering. My smile turned into a grin. "Scared?" 

I stopped when i was just in front of him, my gun on his head, "Now...simply tell me, who did you leaked our information to..?" My smile disappeared and a cold look overshadowed. He looked at me eye-to-eye, his gaze like a dog trying to be a lion. "Never." He said. I dug the barrel at his head front, "I'll ask you one more time."

"I said i would'nt. What are you gonna do? End me? then do it. you're not gonna get the imformation anyways." He smiled like he just won a candy, but this is'nt candy world. I threw away the gun and then turned away, "Now whose scared, huh?!" He shouted but then, A very sharp punch was delivered to him by me. 

I towered over him, punching him anywhere my hands could reach. For the moment, i've secured all my anger to be exerted on him. He should know i'm not the one to be messed with.

ANDREA'S POV

I continue roaming around the ball, finding Denzel. If we're allies, then atleast we could talk more on this topic but i found him nowhere. I went outside and there even, no signs of him. "Laurence, i'll talk to you later, hm?" I cutted the call and begin to go inside but then i heard some muffled sounds. Something like being...hitted. My body straightened. It could be a lawn farmr cutting grass, but who cuts grass at night? Carefully, i reached closer by trusting my senses.

The voice was of a man, and if its someone innocent, i won't hesitate to punch whoever was troubling that guy. There were two alleys near me. From which, one produced clear noises. The noises were clear. Someone was being punched and kicked. I bit my lip, moving closer and peeking inside the alley with my half body hiding. 

I saw a man, towering over another man. Punching him again and again while the one whose being hitted is begging for leaving him. This was no matter i could interrupt in so i backed away and my back pressed against the wall, just hearing the noises. 

I made up my mind that i'm going. My life is more important to me than other but just as i was about to go, someone grabbed my wrist from the same alley and pulled me back, my back against the wall. For the moment, i closed my eyes tight. Because My mind said 'RUN AWAY' and my heart said 'You're dead'.

I slowly opened my eyes and then saw him. My eyes widened. His hands were bloody, and his face was unnecessarily too close. Too close. I felt his eyes dividing my body in both heat and horrors. How can I forget it? He's a mafia. he kills people. And he was doing the same to that guy.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice was cold, almost sending a shiver down my spine. I tried to play cool but it was hard when Fear, horror and heat is making a mocktail. I could smell his heated cologne which was intermingled with sweat, and it strangely did more to gather the pooling heat in my abdomen. I gulped, "Why w-were you hitting that guy?" 

"It's none of your business." He said. Sweat trailed down my face, down to my neck and then trailing towards my cleavage before hiding seeped under my dress and i swear i saw his eyes darkening further. "Do you know how dangerous it is for a lady to roam outside?" 

I looked at him, "I-I was just finding you- I won't tell anyone." His face inched closer, and i could tell he's feeling the same way as me. For a moment, I thought I'd be dead. Like in those movies, where the villain moves closer, but his hand stabs a knife which made me want to look down and then i saw his hand encircling my waist. 

"You- look- d-don't..." I've never been so nervous in my life. Our lips were about to touch..

closer...closer...closer...

one more inch...

A loud smack echoed through my ears, as i saw him backing away with his hand behind his head.

DENZEL'S POV

I back away, my head bleeding. my vision blurred, as i fell to the ground. It was elva, now extending towards andrea..
