.Cliff's pov

Sky says I can stare at people's soul, I can predict their next move and this was stamped true twice today first when we were notified that somebody messed with our shippment but fortunately they were caught and now death is awaiting them, and next when Sky's manager called us to inform that two doubtful women entered Sky's bar who don't have prior membership that was weird cause the bar is always filled with rich brats who already have the membership or big buisness faces for doing their dark shits, he also told that they have paid the amount of yearly membership just for one night thats why I hate rich women they think the world is beneath their heels, then we thought not to take it lightly cause they could possibly be the information diggers of the enemies I asked them their names and the information we got was too much to digest because the manager spoke "The names entered are 'Tiffiny and Rosa' but the cheque is signed under 'Voila Ashbourne' which don't make sense" Okay! I take my words back that woman really have 'Cliff Everhart' under her heels. "Aspetta! "((Hold on)) I declared and motioned Sky, he inquired "Avremo bisogno di armi, vero?" ((We'll need guns, right?)) I hummed.

We went inside the bar slowly bearing the torture when our girls were roaming hands on other men's body that forced us to fire the gun but the worst part is that Voila was trying to defend a 19 year old fucker. I wasn't thinking rationally but Sky's action helped us in getting them out faster.
When I was driving her back home the shit she was throwing like 'I'm all yours' 'let's get done with the deal and never see each other' 'stay away' it was making me want to teach her a lesson right there but I managed to collect my self. She was like a tempting meal but I was like a saint on fasting, I dropped her off, tugged her to the bed and we left after allocating our guard infront of their mansion, Now let's do some real work.

As we stepped inside the warehouse Sky holded the guard with his throttle and yelled "Chi ha fatto errore con la spendizione?" ((Who messed with the shipment)) I asked Sky to leave him this side of Sky was really different I guess the more closer we're getting towards the enemies the more anger is rising inside him. I asked the guard his name "Liam" he answered then I asked him to give full details of the incident, he told "The gun shippment was supposed to be occur in the afternoon two people drugged the actual driver and delivered the guns to their master we searched the location where they delivered but we found no clue but the culprits were caught" I nodded and gestured him to follow us. As I saw the face of those fuckers my blood started boiling I wonder how they dared to cross my path when they knew they'll have the worst death given by the devil himself. I asked the guards to untie them I want to let them live the last minutes of their lives freely. Here I miscalculated their strength as Liam went to remove tape from their mouth one of them pulled the gun from Liam's waistband and aimed at himself. I laughed at his cowardness cause he can not dare to aim at me I didn't wasted a second and shot his head the other one gulped and said "I know you would kill me too so listen here your enemy would rest after your death his revenge is bigger than yours he has pen down the names of all your closed ones and now his plan will blow your life's, we knew nothing more we were given money to ship the stuff to them but we knew one thing he hates you more than you hate him." His words made no difference I know the enemy is in disguise of a friend, I know it's danger all around I looked at Sky sitting helplessly I shot the other culprit after muttering "You go to hell I'll also send your master there soon". Sky came to me, took my gun from my hands and gave it to Liam and said "killing them wasn't necessary" I retorted firmly "everyone who is involved with that incident should'nt be spared he turned away and said "Does Silvia deserved that?" For a minute I couldn't form words it's been 11 years to his sister's death although we know we're working everyday to find the people responsible behind the attack but we didn't took her name for a while. And now when her name is resonating in the room it's practically hurting. She was an Angel. I comforted Sky "no she doesn't deserved, no one does, its practically truth that god calls the good people to him early" I can sense today that Sky is hurting it hurts me too much but it'll hurt him more she was good friend of mine but she was his sister she is a memory that cannot be erased anyhow. I told Sky that we should leave for home he suddenly hold my wrist and said "Cliff can you promise me something I looked at him I knew something hard was coming up but I nodded and said "May I know what" he looked into my eyes and stated "you won't hurt Voila no matter what she's too good and you know I see silvia inside her promise me you won't ruin her you'll protect her" I gulped and replied "I promise I won't let harm touch her but...." Sky's gaze darkened he taunted "What is the but... for" I gulped trust me this is the first time I'm scared to say something to him but I started explaining "See Silvia was a sister to me too, but..." He frowned and said "What the fuck is but..." I took a breath and completed "Silvia was a sister to both of us but don't expect me to treat Voila the same, i hope your getting what I am trying to imply" Sky punched my chest and said I knew fuck I knew it all, the way you look at her the way you call her I knew it since the beginning but you never said anything your are such a traitor. I turned serious and said yes it is what it is but it is supposed to be kept under bars until we get over the crap that is around us. Sky hugged me and said "I am waiting for the day when we can finally take over what we're supposed to" The only thing that's racing in my mind is that I need to keep this feeling aside and just have to focus on the goal. I dropped Sky to his place but I didn't returned to mine instead I decided to go over to my penthouse just wanna lay there alone and have the reality check.

As I lay in my penthouse bed, surrounded by the opulent trappings of my success, I gaze out the window at the twinkling lights of Los Angeles. I rule these streets, my name whispered in fear and reverence. My mind wanders to the countless lives I've taken, the families I've torn apart, and the blood that stains my hands. The darkness I've cultivated threatens to consume me whole.

But then I see her face, an angel with a fiery soul. She's a paradox, a gentle touch that can ignite a blaze, a soft whisper that can shatter steel. I'm drawn to her, this enigmatic beauty who sees beyond the darkness and touches the depths of my tortured heart.

I think back to our first meeting, the way she looked at me with eyes that saw right through me. She didn't flinch, didn't back down. Instead, she stood tall, her fiery spirit burning bright. I was taken aback, intrigued by her fearlessness.

As I watch the lightning illuminate the skyline, I feel an unsettling sense of calm. It's as if my world is about to be turned upside down by this fiery angel. I'm not sure if I'm ready for it, but I know I can't resist her pull.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of my phone buzzing. I hesitate for a moment before answering, knowing that it's probably one of my associates with another problem to solve, another life to take. But a part of me hopes it's her, calling to ignite the flames that simmer between us.

I raise the phone to my ear, my voice low and gravelly. "Yes?" My manager question there is a meeting tomorrow should I fix it in the morning or afternoon I answered " afternoon' , I'll late tomorrow I haven't slept yet and sleep is no where near me. I ended the call and tried to sleep thinking about my constant thought nowadays.
