"Rafael Morales." he shook his hand. "You must be the boss." Everyone chuckled as he glared at them, silencing them.
"Other end of the table." Thomas said, gesturing towards me. He turned to meet my eyes. He was quick to hide the shock in his face but I was quick enough to notice it.
"So we've met. However, you didn't quite know who I was. You certainly made a good impression though." I smirked. "Please. Take a seat." I pointed to the seat that was added to my left. Obeying me, Rafael sat in the chair as he fixed his blazer.

"You burned our house knowing my parents were inside." I shouted while warm tears still running down my cheeks. Yet he just let out a cold chuckle. "Sí, I did." He replied, so calmly as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "But they're still alive, aren't they?" "It doesn't change the fact that you wanted to kill them in front of my eyes." I snapped again. "Yes, and I don't give a single fuck that you hate me for it." He starts walking closer to me and leans down to whisper in my ear.

I watched in shock and horror as he shot the body not even flinching or moving. I gasped and covered my mouth then turned to leave before he noticed me. As I turned, I stepped on a branch and I stood still hoping he didn't notice. "Who's there?" He asked as he started walking to where I stood but I still didn't move until something cold was pressed against the side of my head. "You." He said as he spun me around and made me face him. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked as he lowered his gun and put them in the waistband of his pants. I noticed that he wore a different suit rom what he wore in the morning. He wore all black with his hair messed up on top of his head. "Just passing by, I am going now." I said as I turned on my heel but he stopped me. "You are not going anywhere, except you want me to kill you." He said and I shook my head frantically and a smirk appeared on his face. "That's what I thought." He said as he picked me up and swung me effortlessly over his shoulder. "Put me down!" I yelled as I hit his back and kicked my legs. He held my legs with one hand and the other went to my back to keep me steady. He led us out of the forest until we reached a car and he kept me inside before sliding in himself. ...........................................................................................................

Code of Blood
Pain comes in many forms. Heartbreak, headaches, broken bones, and that quiet, soul-splitting kind that doesn't leave bruises. But the kind of pain I've witnessed goes beyond all that. Have you ever heard a man scream, really scream, as he's being beaten and his fingers broken one by one? I have. And as twisted as it might sound, in that moment, it felt... satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a psychopath. These people, they deserve it. In a world full of monsters, someone has to be worse. Someone has to be the shadow in the corner, the final judgment behind a red-drenched smile. That someone is me. Reanne Anderson. Twenty-four. Assassin for the Anderson family. Secret hacker behind their impenetrable systems but to most, I'm the Red Lady. I respect boundaries until someone crosses mine. Then I become a storm in heels, or combat boots, or whatever the hell I'm wearing that day. And then there's him. Lorenzo Russo. Twenty-eight. Newly crowned Don of the Russo family after his father was butchered by the Russian mafia. Lost his mother in the same bloodbath. He's cold, calculated and ruthless. He looks at people like he's already decided whether they're useful or dead. He's got the eyes of a man who's seen too much, felt too little, and trusts no one. Our paths were never supposed to cross. But war doesn't care about plans. He needed someone who could crack into encrypted systems. He needed a ghost. He got me. But sometimes, even in the darkest corners of the world, two dark souls might just bleed for each other.Complete
