Part 3 - The Assignment (Prt. 1) <Cora'sP.O.V.>
The devil crosses his knees. "So, Cora, I've obviously called you here for a reason," I smirk. I wanna throw a sarcastic remark at him but physically bite my tongue to keep from acting a fool in my fathers name. "I believe you are the best of the best. I know for a fact, that if I sent twenty of my best men after you, you would still be alive. You might be pretty fucked up, but you'd still be standing," Kadem uncrossed his legs and chooses to put his interlaced fingers on his desk. The devil leans forward slightly, his eyes never leaving mine. "If I'm being honest with you, this isn't exactly an assignment, task, whatever you want to call it. It's more of a business proposal. I want you to come and work for me," Kadem comfortably speaks to me as if he's talking about something as simple as his ideal gun. My breathing stops mid inhale as I realize he's talking about abandoning my father and the only family I've ever known.
"With all due respect sir," It happens so quickly that I don't really catch it as that look in his eye returns when I call him sir. "As much as I despise my father for how he raised me and they way he treat me, I can't just leave him. As fucked as it is and how much I despise myself for saying it, I do love him," My mind can't seem to understand why my heart feels the need to defend that prick.
I begin to fidget under Kadem's intense stare. Why can't he stop looking at me with those hypnotic eyes?
"You haven't given me the opportunity to tell you the second part of the proposal. If you accept my offer, your first assignment has already been set up. The target is your father," He breathes out.
My mind begins to race, but before even 30 seconds can pass, I've already made my decision. One that will no doubt change my life. "I'll do it," I spit out my answer before I can talk myself out of it. There's a kernel of shock in Kadem's eyes, quickly replaced by an expression of understanding.
