Reaper's End

[]Ivy's POV[]

I woke up to Beau shaking me awake.

I yawned, "What do you want?"

"Come on, gotta get ready for the meeting today, babe," he says before kissing my nose

I pull the sheets over my head and roll to the side, "Later, babe,"

He pulls the sheets off and opens the blinds and I shriek, "Close the damn blinds I'm in my underwear!"

"Oh shit, I forgot," he chuckles and closes them

I shake my head and walk to the closet to change into my clothes for the day. I grab the essentials that I would need for the day. Beau was already ready, so as soon as I was ready, we headed to the meeting room. No one was there yet, so we waited for Reaper to appear on the silver screen. A half hour passed and no one showed up. Where is everybody? I've sent messages to the group chat and no one responded. Beau and I start to grow impatient.

"I'm going to go find Alfred, you stay here in case someone shows up," I tell my fiance

He nodded, "Be careful,"

I smiled at him and walked out of the room and headed to Reaper's servants' quarters. My jaw dropped at the sight. Alfred was hunched over a bloody body, while other servants were frantically running around the room. I ran over next to Alfred and looked down at the body. There were multiple gunshot wounds across the chest. The corpse was wearing a hockey mask, shades, a gold chain, a fedora, and a blazer with trousers. I instantly knew who it was and brought my hand to my mouth. A few tears escaped and I rested a hand on Alfred's shoulder.

"Do you know what happened?" I ask

He shook his head, "I don't, miss, I heard gunshots, came in here and found him like this,"

I nod, "I'll let the others know, can you take care of this?"

He nodded and stood up to go wash his hands. I head back to the meeting room, but on my way I pull my phone out and leave the message in the group chat. I walked in the room and I must've had an unusual look on my face because Beau instantly looked worried.

"What's wrong, baby?" he asks while hugging me

"He's dead," I deadpan while standing frozen

"Who?" he lets go of me

"Grim Reaper," I say as my eyes meet his

His jaw dropped and he scratched the back of his head, "Shit, really?"

I nod, then the door busts in and the rest of the underbosses piled in with mixed emotions.

"One at a damn time!" Beau yelled

Leo spoke up, "Is he really dead?"

I nod, "I found his body in the servants' quarters. Alfred is taking care of it as we speak,"

Beau looks Leo up and down, "What happened to you?"

"I got jumped," he responded

"Well shit, what are we gonna do now? Grim Reaper is dead and another gang is attempting to overtake us. Who's gonna be the new leader?" I rant

Everyone murmurs and everyone fights over who should be the next leader.

Beau yelled, "Silence!"

Everyone got quiet and all eyes were on Beau.

"Look, I think we should focus on the other gang before we worry about who becomes leader. We can't let them know Reaper is dead, it'll give them an advantage." he suggested

"I think that's fair," Leo spoke up

Everyone else agreed and we went to the rooms that we were assigned. Beau and I went to our room to meet our soldiers. On the way there we were mourning the loss of our leader.

"I'm scared that it'll tear the gang apart. Sure we all have our ups and downs but we're all family," I said shakily

"I'm sure everything will be fine, I promise," Beau said as he wrapped his arm around me

I opened our door and introduced myself to my soldiers. I gave them orders to sneak up on the other gang and show no mercy. Along with the order, I gave them helpful tips and sent them on their way. I start biting my thumb nail nervously, wondering what's gonna happen now with Reaper being gone. Chaos? Maybe. Or maybe everything will turn out alright. I trust my soldiers to do a good job, so Beau and I walk back to our room.

I dropped everything and lay on the bed, soon after, I felt Beau hop on. He spooned me and we just laid together in silence. He pecked my cheek after a while, then he started to kiss my neck softly. I bite my bottom lip, knowing where this is going, but I'm in no mood to do anything. His hand slowly slides up and down my body. I lay on my back and met his eyes. He leans in for a soft kiss that ends up being passionate. I end up rolling on top of him, continuing the kiss. He rests his hands on my hips and winks at me. I take my shirt off and lean back in for a quick kiss. Eventually, he pulls away to take off his shirt, then his hands trail upwards as he unclips my bra and tosses it on the floor. His right hand feels my chest as his left hand caresses my butt. I start to kiss his neck softly, then leave a trail of hickies from his neck to his collarbone. He pulls me in for another passionate kiss, then he bites my bottom lip to slip his tongue in to explore my mouth. I explored his as well, but I heard a ding and jerked away, frightened.

"Was that your phone?" I ask

He nods, "Yeah, I'm sorry it ruined the moment," he pecks my lips, "Well I'm going to take a hot shower. You're more than welcome to join me," he throws in a wink

I giggle as I put my shirt back on, "Maybe in a bit, I kinda just wanna lay down right now if you don't mind,"

"Not at all," he pecks my forehead before walking to the bathroom

His phone dinged again, so I picked it up to see who left a message.

Cathy: Thank you for taking care of that job for me.

Who the hell is Cathy?
