Mafia Bloodlines

Chapter 31

Faina's pov

The neon lights of Tokyo flickered over my black leather jacket  as I stalked over the imperial hotel. My target was inside of the ballroom.
I had been waiting for hours for him to be alone, just hiding in the shadows and calculating his every move. He was a powerful politician, none of that mattered now because he was a dead Man walking. I spotted him leaving the tables, he was heading to the restrooms. This was my chance. I slipped throught the guest, my fingers were already grasping  the two knives strapped on my thigh. I have been doing this for a year. I choose my own missions and I am an independent assassin. Ambrose doesn't have anything to do with how I work though he still has his guards in close proximity for protection and well to make sure I don't use these opportunities when traveling to escape.

Right when he entered the hallway in one motion I threw both of my blades. They landed on his throat. A gurgle escaped his lips as he collapsed. With deadly grace I stepped on the blade, forcing it deeper into his throat. His body twitched as his final breath left him. Another mission complete.

I walked out immediately after and the chaous began, I guess someone found the body. I crashed into someone through all the commotion.

"Faina?" I looked up to be met by her blue eyes, now wide from the shock. My twin sister stood before me. Her face similar to mine but with softer features, untouched by the darkness that consumed my soul.

" Oh my god it's really you. I  have been looking for you for two years. We all have, Valentino believed you were dead." She sobbed while cupping my face.

" I'm sorry, a lot has happened. I never meant to leave you behind Clone." I say, tears streaming down my face also.
A shadow loomed over us, I know it's Ambrose's guards. They brought me back to reality, I have to go.

" I'm sorry, I have to go." I said while stepping away from her.

" No please, Half. Don't leave me again. I need you." She pleaded in between her sobing. I shift my eyes, forcing myself to turn away. I didn't dare look back as I dissapered into the night.
Even as I boarded the flight the image of Faina's sadness and pain was on my mind. The way she begged and the way her voice cracked.

I gritted my teeth, rage bubbling inside of me. I hated being this weak and helpless. But most of all I hated Ambrose this was his fault, all of it.

As I stepped inside of my room I felt a presence. It was him , his cologne had filled my room. He was sitting on a chair, whisky in his hand. He always does this when I come back from missions. He wants to celebrate.

His eyes studied me.
" You are angry, very. Did the mission not go well?" He asks.

" I saw my twin sister today. I had to leave her crying and pleading because I am your prisoner.  Ever since we were children.... I have protected Ulyana, I would even take the beatings that were meant for her when we were Felipe's captives. I cannot get the image of the pain etched on her face and her sweet voice begging me not to go." I said wiping the tear on my eye that fell abruptly. I took out my gun and pointed it at him. He looked shocked for a moment but quickly covered it. He stood on his feet and just stood there, waiting.

" I hate you Ambrose Kravaratis, I hate you. You took away my freedom, again, I became a prisoner again because of you. Whether it was your large mansion or the small dark room Felipe kept me in, it all has the same significance to me. Captivity, feeling caged. I want my freedom back. Ambrose I want my fuckin life back. You will never give it to me so I will take it" I said as I put my finger on the trigger.  He knew that I wouldn't miss, he taught me well.

"You forced your way into my heart just as I forced mine into your life. I am at your mercy. Kill me if that is what you desire. I am yours, KILL ME !! I could never kill you because  that would be like killing myself. A world without you could never make sense for me, I could not exist in a world where you don't. Like a storm upon the sea, you rage within me, inescapable, merciless and relentless. I loathe you as much as I ache for you. I am bound, helpless, hopeless and wholly yours, μου καταιγίδα ( my Storm). KILL ME, I AM AT YOUR MERCY, YOU OWN ME!"

" I hate you, you ruined my life." I said with a heavy breath. He swiftly grabbed my hand and pointed the gun to his chest.

" If you want to shoot then do it. Shoot right here,  exactly  where you reside, in my heart." he declared.

" Stop, just stop saying these things to me. Why are you doing this? Is this some kind of plea for your life so I can sympathise with you?" I shout at the top of my lungs. His words were confusing me.

" Sympathy is not what I want from you. I want your heart, I want you, all of you. " Ambrose declared with determination. I just burst into tears. The gun falls from my hand. My knees get weak and he is quick to catch me before I got the ground. He holds me tight as he lays my head on his chest.

" I don't  understand anything. Why do you love me, how can you? And why can't I pull the bloody trigger. I should kill you. Why is it hard for me to kill you?" I say still sobbing in his arms as he gently brushes my back. I felt him lift me up once I had fallen asleep.

The following morning I woke up to a note next to me. He wrote that he has gone away for a few days to give me some space. He also has a lot to think about after the stunt I pulled yesterday. I'm Sure he is pissed more than surprised. All hell will break loose when he comes back.
