AORA : His Little Liar

45

Zara.

I stared hard at Min Sung who smiled expectantly. "I'd rather chew my toe than wear that." I said and sat back on the chair. She rolled her eyes before sliding on the screen and another outfit projected on the hologram.

I glanced at it and shook my head. "No. Next." I frowned deeply. Each outfit was worse than the last. I sighed and stood up. She looked at me with a knowing smile. I bet she knew what I was about to say.

"Fine. You can modify my S.I habit." I muttered and she screamed in delight. I scoffed before leaving her and heading to Diana's room.

The sight I walked into was ghastly. I stood at the door for a solid minute but they still didn't notice me as they had their tongues buried in each other's mouth. Of course the ship sailed.

"What the fuck?" They jumped apart at the sound of my voice and I just stared back emotionlessly. Diana's face was as red as a tomato and Romero looked like he was attacked by a ton of racoons.

"Hey Z. Um how can I...Uh help you?" Diana asked coming towards me. I stepped back with my hands out in a back off gesture. "Stay the fuck away from me. Keep all of that to yourself." I spat and she smirked.

"Meet me at the gym in 30. I have this dying need to beat you up." I said with sarcasm dripping from my tone. She snickered before nodding. "And please for the sake of all things holy, Take a shower. Both of you." I said my gaze snapping to Romero who smiled sheepishly.

I left with a sigh and headed straight to my room to get changed. Our plan will take effect tomorrow. We've been planning since the past week Romero has been here and it's finally time to strike.

Hades and I carefully thought this whole plan through so I'm pretty confident someone is going shiver in their boots. Phase 1? You'll see.

"For the record, I'm so pissed you didn't modify my habit Min Sung." Diana grumbled and Min Sung let out a strained laugh. "I'm sorry Diana. It's just that Zara practically doused herself in blood and I had to do something about it for her."

"There's this thing called a Washing Machine." Diana snapped and Hades shushed her. "Enough. It's just clothes." He said and I looked at him. Thankfully he looked way better than last time.

"Fine. I'll do yours next time. I promise." Min Sung said as she took a sharp turn down the road we were currently on.

"Quick Question. Did you really have to put Romero in the trunk?" Diana asked looking at me. I shrugged. I mean, it's a crucial part of phase 1 so I did.

"We're here. Let's go." I said and grabbed my gun. Aside the one in my hand, I was fully armed with guns and knives. Thanks to Min Sung.

I grabbed Romero from the trunk and he coughed. He was drenched in sweat and I smirked. It was just a four hour ride. He's totally fine.

"Hey Mero. I'm sure the Mafia has noticed how we're currently outside of the property and in front of their fucking gate. Be a darling and let us in." I said and he took a deep breath before walking towards the scanner at the gate.

After we were granted access, we ditched the car outside with Min Sung and decided to walk towards the house.

"Snipers have spotted you but they're on standby. I'm sure they're alerting Adrian."

I didn't look. I just kept walking with my head held up high and a gun pointed at Romero's head. The first part of the plan was to make it look like we were infiltrating the Italian Mafia.

Obviously a little birdie is going to report to Mason and he'd want to come see what is going on or he's send his men.

About 50 men rushed out of the house as we got closer to the main doors blocking it and positioned themselves preparing to shoot. We stopped and I looked at Diana and Hades. We were all dressed in our S.I habits decked out in black.

"You promised not to hurt anyone remember?!" Romero yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. I nudged him with my gun and the sound of guns aiming directly at me were heard. Yet Diana and Hades remained calm without aiming back.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Jenna run out to the front and she stared at us in shock.

"Lower your weapons!" Romero yelled at the men but they refused to listen. I sighed and unzipped his jacket. Collective gasps were heard.

Yes motherfuckers. A fucking bomb is strapped to his torso. I pulled out the button and raised my hand up.

"I think word has reached Adrian. He's on his way."

"Are you all fucking crazy?! I'm gonna fucking die! Lower your god-damned weapons!!" Romero's hysterics was a sight to see. He was good at this.

The men immediately parted in two and Adrian walked through to the front and I let out a soft breath. My Italian. I took in every inch of him. Is it me or did he get more handsome?

"Z. Focus." Diana hissed and I narrowed my eyes. I looked at Romero and kicked him to the ground.

Adrian's eyes widened in shock when he saw the bomb strapped to Romero. "Let him go." His voice was calm and carried power and authority. As always. I tilted my head. I so badly wanted to take off the mask covering half of my face so he could look at me properly but I couldn't. He could only see my eyes right now.

"Not so fast. I'm willing to trade though." I said in an amused tone. A few people had joined the crowd of armed men and I could now spot Jace, Ria and Maddox.

When she laid eyes on her brother she screamed at us to let him go. I simply ignored her and trained my eyes on my Italian.

"What do you possibly want?" Adrian asked coming closer. Everyone yelled at him to stay back but like I did, he ignored them.

"I'm willing to exchange him for you." I said as he stopped about ten feet away from us. This time, Hades and Diana stepped up to protect me with their guns aimed.

"What better way to bring the Mafia to it's knees than taking it's leader?" I said softly so only he could hear. He scoffed.

"I assume you meant to say what better way to do that by taking his Donna away from him?"

My eyes widened. Oh this fucking man. Just as he moved towards me, I stepped backwards and pressed the button that controls the bomb and a loud explosion went off.

Well fuck.
