Kill or be killed

The attack.

The sound of the gun echoed through the area with birds flying around.
Now it was silent, the sound of rain pouring besides me as my hand hanged low.

Staring down at him..

I should have done it a long time ago.
I would have felt much better.
The misery wouldn't have been that bad.

There was no anger, no sadness no nothing.
Gulping I turned around and left.
Left the mess there..

Arriving back to the mansion I entered and threw my gun to the side.
I needed to get to my room without Hunter stopping me. He's going to ask so many questions.

Questions I don't want to answer.
There was a lump resting at the back of my throat, a feeling I hadn't had since Leo died.
Entering my room I took my shoes off wanting to go straight for a bath.

"Where were you?"
A cold voice called out.
Stopping in my tracks I sighed before turning around.
Hunter was leaning against my desk with his arms folded.

He was wearing a black suit indicating he was going somewhere soon.

"Out"
I replied before trying to get in the bathroom.
But before another step could be made Hunter grabbed my arm turning me around.
Clenching my jaw I tired to break free but he grabbed my throat and pushed me up against the wall.

"Hunter I swear to god if you don't get off me right now-"
"You'll what?", he mocked poking his tongue at the corner of his mouth.
"Get off", I groaned trying to break away from his hold.

He suddenly pressed his knee in between my legs making me halt my movements.

"Where were you?"
He asked again raising his brows while moving his face closer to mine.

"If you don't tell me Veronica, I'll go check every camera in this fucking city until I find you", clearly that was something he would actually do.

Whats the point of keeping it from him. He'll find out anyway.
My heart felt heavy and I just needed someone..
I learnt the hard way from Sanchez. Do I want to trust Hunter?

Something just tells me I can trust him..he gives off this feeling..

"I went to see him"
I said looking down at his chest to avoid his eyes.
Hunter stayed quiet for a few seconds as he just stared at me.

It was too quiet for me to feel comfortable in this position right now.
"Did you hear what you wanted to?"
He asked in a somewhat harsh tone.

I nodded and he looked up trying to process everything.
"So why the dull face?"
He asked again tilting his head.

I chewed at my lips before looking into his eyes.
The way I stared up at him, he picked it up.

"Veronica.."
He sighed closing his eyes.

I sat with Hunter for about ten minutes explaining everything..
He was understanding.
Very..

"Alright my love, I'm going to the casino for a bit"
He said getting up and leaving.

I stayed still in my position for about a hour before finally getting up.
While walking towards the bathroom I noticed something.

It was in my wardrobe.
My heart immediately dropped knowing what was there.

I ran forward and threw the door open.
My heaving breathing made it hard for me to focus while I was searching for it.

In my hand came a piece of paper.
It had 'Kai' signed on it.

"No, no, no Fuck!"
I screamed through the room before falling to my knees.
The fucking American Mafia took the book!
"Fuck sakes!"
I screamed again and again while throwing things around the room.

Suddenly gunshots burst from outside making me snap my head towards it.
Running to my window I saw Kai and his Mafia standing there

"Oh for fucks sakes!"

Immediately grabbing my gun I ran downstairs to where Christopher and Ace were standing in front with guns raised.

"What the fuck do you want!"
I yelled walking closer to Kai.
I was not in the mood to fucking deal with him right now.

"Veronica stay back they are all armed"
Ace said keeping the gun raised.

Kai chuckled while holding the book in his hand

"Remember our deal?"
He asked as I rolled my eyes.
He can't be serious..

*

"Your late"
He said in a cocky tone.
"Deal with it, I'm here now"
"Well I didn't come to argue with a beautiful lady like you", rolling my eyes at his words I sat down waiting for him to start.

"Now that your in control. I think it would be best for us to join, make our mafia bigger, stronger"

Huh?

"You want me to join my Mafia..the Cuban...with the American Mafia?"
I asked as if he was insane.

Putting two of rival histories together was fucking stupid.

"So what do you think love".
Don't kill him. Just not yet..
"I'll think about it, it will make my Mafia stronger but our men won't think about getting together, their will be many problems, and I mean many"

He nodded and got up.
"Hope to hear from you soon"

He turned around and walked towards the door.

"There could be consequences if this deal isn't accepted"
He said before taking his leave.
I glared at him as he left.
Fucker..
