Grab your seatbelts guys cause*Flashback*
I lifted my pistol at the shooting board and kept shooting until no bullets were left. I clenched my jaw, removed the magazine, put a new one and shoot at the same spot again until I was out of bullets again. I removed the magazine, letting it to fall to the ground before I grabbed a new one from the table and put it in. Loading the pistol before aiming it at the hanging bottles. The empty bottle exploded into tiny fragments and fall to the ground. I moved my hand and shot down another bottle.
“Good evening!” My father’s sudden appearance distracted me and caused my bullet to fly past the target.
I fake smiled, “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Still in a bad mood?” He asked. I didn’t reply and shot down another bottle, “All things happens for a reason, Precious. Maybe you lost that deal on him because you deserve something better!” I rolled my eyes at his dialogue.
It isn’t like what he’s saying is wrong. I believe it myself too that every bad thing happens for a good reason but I don’t see any good in this one. I mean, I lost that contract on that fucking Owen Sydney. My business rival who’s determined to become number one business tycoon of the state but as long as I’m in his way, he can’t. Therefore, he’s been doing everything in his possession to take me down and the plus point for him is he consider my other profile rumors, which is why he’s fearless and confident around me. Otherwise, no alive person has the guts to mess with me.
“And if he’s really bothering you so much then why don’t you just get rid of him once for all?” He suggested in a serious tone. I replied, “I’ve promised Ethan that I will not use my mafia power against my business rivals, Dad! No matter, how much I want to,” I mumbled the last line under my breath.
He lets out a chuckle, “Sometimes I wonder if he’s really my son. Anyway, I have a work for you!”
“I’m all ears!” I mumbled, looking at my target carefully before shooting it down. He let out a sigh and carried a golden envelope forward to me. I put my gun down and took it in my hands but as soon as I learned that it was an invitation card, I rolled my eyes and dumped it on the ground like a piece of trash.
“Charlotte?”
“I’m not interested or free for these stupid ball parties, Dad!” I said in a tone that didn’t wanted any arguments on this. My pistol and eyes were on my targets again.
“Who said I’m asking you to join it?” That statement had my eyes snapped on him. I slightly frowned, “The Ball is being thrown by Mikhail Esposito! Means, many gangsters and mafia will be present there including Boris Marchetti!”
I shot my brows up, “So?”
“So, what I want is for you to use this opportunity and kill him!”
“Fine. I’ll do it!” I said but he didn’t respond. When I raised my brows at him he says, “This Ball is about peace and alliance, precious. All the mafia will talk about business and stuff that will not be related to crime... All I’m trying to say is that your one mistake can cause you an instant death! So, you must be careful!”
“Since when did you start worrying about me?”
He scoffed with a flat look, “Just take care of yourself, alright?” His tone was authorative this time. I chuckled and gave him a simple nod. He smiled and pecked my forehead, “I love you!”
I smiled back, “I love you too, Dad!” He moved his hand on my hair lovingly and left. I grabbed my cellphone out and called Richard.

“As you asked, I went to the palace and inspected the entire building. So, with what I’ve observed, the preparation is strong and security is going to be very tight and I don’t have to answer you why. The surveillance cameras are fixed on every corner of the palace and some in the places where we can’t see them!” He unfolded a blue chart paper and placed it on my table. I looked at it carefully as he continued, “This is the map of the palace and the only place where we can kill that bastard is this!”
“Great! But we gotta do something about the surveillances first!” I said, “They will sure destroy me!”
“Don’t worry, I will hijack the control room. You just think that how you’re going to lure him!”
“You’re right. Even if I succeed in not coming under surveillances or suspiciousness. It’s far impossible for me to kill him amongst everyone!”
“I know, that’s why you got to get him out of people’s sight first!”
“Hmm, I’m trying to figure out a way!” I mumbled, looking at the map with a slight frown between my brows but when I looked at him, he had eyes on me. I shot my one brow up, “What?” He lifted his brows and shoulders together. My jaw clenched and eyes narrowed, “Don’t you dare, Richard!!”
“Do you have a better idea?”
“I’m not going to seduce a middle age bald guy who has an ugly face, thick nose, puffed stomach and utterly annoying attitude!!”
He chuckled, “I know that you hate it when even handsome guys try to initiate any kind of communication with you but he’s a pervert, Charlotte. Sexy body with big boobs and plump ass is his weakness!” I shot him a deadly glare when he looked at me head to toe, “Luckily, you’re blessed with all!” He smirked. I clenched my jaw and threw my Stuart Weitzman’s red heel at him angrily but he moved away and caused it to fly past his arm. He laughed.
“There must be another way!” I retorted, glaring at him but because he’s been my friend for years, I don’t scare him. He says, “Believe me, Charlotte. There’s no better way!” I ticked my jaw and he smiled, understanding that no matter how much I hate to accept it but I really don’t have a better idea.
Well, I’ve no problem in seducing someone as ugly as him but what is bothering is the fact that I hold a good reputation in both mafia and business. Means, my approach to that bastard in front of everyone will threaten my image. Suddenly, something hit me and brought a smile on my face. I looked at the confused with my sudden smile Richard and asked, “Boris hasn’t seen me yet, right?”
He gave a nod, “Yup!”
“And the masks are mandatory in the Ball as well?”
He nodded again, “Uh, huh. In fact, it’s a part of the dress code!”
“Amazing!”
“Why?” He asked, knitting his brows together in confusion. I replied, “Because Charlotte isn’t going to seduce him now... Dyna Cruise will!” He stared at me with narrowed eyes for a moment and when he understood my plan, he broke into an impressed smile.
I winked.

It was a dark and cold night. The moon which usually glows brightly was covered behind the thundering clouds that were coating the entire sky. The weather seems like it’s going to rain hard but my experience tells me that it’s just a bad weather which will be fine with the passing night. I inhaled and checked the time in my Rolex watch. It flashed quarter to nine. “Hurry up, Richard! I have many other things to finish!” I told him and he only gave me a nod as he drove over the lane with full concentration. Everything is planned and settled. As soon as we will get in, we will depart and get to our works. Richard will take care of the surveillances and guards and I will keep my focus on Boris only. We’ve Bluetooth in our ears which means we will be connected to eachother all the time. The weapons are not allowed to take in, therefore, I’ve my other smart way to kill him.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed and snapped my attention towards it. A huge smile appeared on my lips when the a caller I’d flashed Ethan’s name. I picked it up, “How’s the weekend going with your dearest brother?” I asked in a jolly tone.
He answered, “Amazing! His snoring are music to my ears!” I laughed when I noticed the amount of sarcasm. “Seems like my brother doesn’t comes here every weekend for me but for a break from his busy life!”
“Umm, not really but can’t disagree either!” I said, “Anyway, how was your semester?”
“What do you think?”
“Hmm, sounds like someone has again hit the rank!” I grinned and heard a breathy chuckle from him. “I just can’t wait to call you Dr Ethan, little brother!”
“Yeah, I also can’t wait!”
“How many semesters are left anyway?”
“Four!”
“Oh? Means, two whole years are still left to go!” I grumbled and he broke into a laugh. I rolled my eyes, not pleased that he won’t be coming home for two years more.
“Charlotte?” Called Richard, taking my eyes on him. “We’ve reached!” He said and my eyes were now on the palace ahead of me. It was a huge palace, standing amidst acres to acres with lights falling on it from all the sides.
“Uh, Etha-”
“Business call?” He asked in a flat tone. He hate it when I hang up on him due to the work.
I sighed, “I’m sorry but I promise that as soon as this is over I will call you back!”
“I will count on you!”
I smiled, “Sure. Take care!”
“You too!” Saying this, he hung up on me. I looked at the phone then at the palace. “You ready?” I asked to Richard. He looked at me and gave a nod before he got out of the car and opened the door for me. I put my hand in his and let him help me out. As soon as I stepped out, the heavy cold wind blew and whipped my free thick brown hair back.
“Well, I shouldn’t say this but I can’t hold in!” When I looked at him, he said, “With what you are wearing, Charlotte. I’m sure that not only Boris but all other guys in there are going to lose their minds for sure!”
“Is it a compliment, Mr. Bianchi?” I smirked, lifting my one brow up.
“Whatever you like to consider!” He said, making me chuckle lightly, “Now, shall we?” He asked by showing me his palm. I pulled his sleeve and crossed my arm in his. He smiled and we started walking ahead together.
I was indeed wearing a super hot dress. It’s glamorous red velvet off-shoulder gown that has a deep cut from ankle to my thighs. It’s fitting my body entirely and showing off my perfect figure. My cleavage on the other hand is looking sexier in it as the dress’s tightness is squeezing my boobs together, making them to look bigger than their actual size. As it’s a grand party and I’m basically here to seduce someone, I’ve intentionally put heavy eye-shadow on my eyes and applied red matt lipstick to look seductive. My hair are divided from the center and are falling free on my back in curls, covering the half of my bare back and my red tattoo on my backbone.
As soon as we walked inside the palace, a guy quickly came in front of us and carried the tray of masks forward. I picked up a black mask and put it on, followed by Richard. The palace was beautiful and mystical with it’s ancient architecture. There was a huge chandelier in the center, just above the dancing people and an enormous staircase that was right ahead of us. The lightening was dim and smoky and atmosphere was soft and light, all was matching the slow music that was currently playing.
“How are we going to find him with these masks on, Charlotte?” Asked Richard skeptical. I replied, “We don’t need to find him, Richard. He will himself come to us. You just go and get to work!” He nodded and walked away. I adjusted my dress and moved to bar the counter. Due to the cut on my dress, whenever I was taking a step, my thigh and the tattoo on it was coming out in a view.
I took my seat on the bar stool and sat with crossed legs to reveal as much as my skin. It will surely lure Boris here, to his death. “A glass of Macallan!” I ordered without looking behind. Within seconds, my order was passed to me along with the bottle. I took the glass in my hands and begin to wait for Boris patiently. Minutes went by and my eyes were still waiting for him to show up but God knows where he’s held up. I lifted the glass to my lips to drink that just then I heard someone.
“Good evening, young lady,” Said a cheesy tone from my left and it didn’t take me much time to realize who it was. I corner smiled and turn to Mr. Boris Marchetti who was standing next to me in his expensive black three piece suit with his drink in his hand.
“Good evening!” I greeted him back in my sexy seductive tone. His disgusting look of lust for me was making me throw up but keeping myself in character, I smiled and gestured my hand at the vacant stool next to me. He smiled and hop on it. I brushed my fingers through my hair, making sure that my actions are captivating him.
“I’m Boris Marchetti!” He introduced himself in his not-really-husky tone. I smiled and held out my palm to shake hands with him, “It’s Dyna Cruise, here!”
“Nice to meet you, miss Dyna Cruise!” He smirked and planted a kiss on the back of my palm. I smiled seductively at his action while from the inside I yearned to choke him to death for doing that. Fucking bastard!!
“My apologies but I have never heard this name before!” He says cautiously. I snatched my hand out of his hold and took off my mask to get him into the trap of beauty, “It’s because I was not here for years. I’m Spencer’s relative. You may know him, right?”
He nodded, “Yes, I-I know him!” His eyes lost in me. I smiled and picked my glass. He picked up a conversation and I begin to get bore as hell. I have my mask back on as I listened to his bullshit with a fake smile. Oh, my cheeks hurt! Suddenly, he broke a pathetic joke and I had no choice but to laugh at it but it was gone when he put his filthy hand on my thigh. If I wasn’t playing this stupid Dyna, I sure have killed him for touching me there. I looked at his hand then into his full of lust eyes.
Stay in control, Charlotte. Relax. He’s finally caged!
I gently took his hand off and said, “Here wouldn’t be a great idea!” He smirked and I mentally cringed. Slowly, he got down the stool and walked away. “Idiot!” I said and pressed the tiny button of my ring to send a single to Richard to switch off the camaras. I chugged down my rest drink and followed him.
He took me to a vacant area of palace and looks at me expectantly. His eyes lusting for me with extreme eagerness. I trailed my finger up to his expensive Armani blazer’s collar and grabs it with a jerk. His breathing increased. I giggled, biting my lower lip seductively before I looked on both sides of me. No-one could be seen or heard.
“No-one will come here, darling. I assure you,” He said and grabs my hips. I smiled at him and says, “Bad for you,” Before he could even understand my word, I turned him around by his blazer and pinned his against the wall with his arm folded behind his back. He grunted, “Ahh! What’re you doing?” I tightened my grip on his arm, keeping him against the wall strongly to seize his movements but he kept on struggling to get rid of me, “Let go off me, Dyna!!”
“The more you will move, the painfully I will kill you, Boris!” He immediately stopped fighting and asked, “You-You’ve brought me here to kill me?” The shock could be notice in his heavy fearful tone.
I let out a mock chuckle, “Too late for you to regret it, Boris!” I moved the ring of my ring-finger and pressed its front on his neck. He let out a low growl as I left him with a jerk.
“What did you do?” His hand on his neck as he looks at me fazed.
I shrugged, “Nothing. I just granted you an easy death!” His eyes widened. He clenched his jaw and was about to strike at me but froze on his spot when the immense pain hit his heart and caused him to fall over his knees. He grunted, holding his chest strongly. I squatted down to reach his height and smiled, “Call yourself lucky that I was asked to make it look a natural death because if I wasn’t, I had smashed your fingers and ripped your body open in your consciousness! I mean, I don’t give easy death. Especially to those who touch me without my consent,” His eyes turned red with a bundle of tears and face become pale with the veins of his neck and head popping out of his skin. His state seemed like the pain is unbearable.
“Who-He gulped with efforts, his hand clutching his chest where the pain must be shooting him, “Who- He groaned with tight eyes. His state was miserable and if there was someone else in my place. He sure had felt something, but since it’s me. I feel nothing for him. Even I’m waiting for him to die sooner so that I can leave already, “Who-Who are you?” He asked after so many efforts. His voice was barely audible though but I heard it anyway.
“Charlotte William!” As soon as these words left my mouth, he collapsed on the floor and died. My eyes widened, “Seriously? Damn, if I knew that you were hanging for my name, I’d told you long ago!” I rolled my eyes and got up on my feet, “God, you wasted my time, you piece of shit!”
“One needs guts to murder someone in a party of mafias!” Said a chilling voice from my back and whipped my head at his way. He smirked, “I’m impressed!” The wine glass he was holding shatter down into tiny pieces when I pinned him against the wall with my dagger on his throat. Yes, I managed to carry one in.
“Who are you?” I asked but he didn’t respond, only stared into my hazel eyes deeply with his deep blue ones. I pushed some pressure on his throat and caused a drop of blood to slid down but he stayed rigid. Not even hissed. His deep blue eyes were boring into mine with such intensity that my soul slightly trembled. His chest moved up as he took a sharp breath in. I narrowed my eyes, “You will not speak a word about it!” I retreated the dagger and walked away. I shouldn’t trust him, of course, he might be a mafia too who can take advantage of catching me red-handed but after what I’ve just witnessed in his eyes. Hell, if he’s ever going to tell anyone about this.
“Mission accomplished!” I said to Richard via Bluetooth as I stood by the bar counter.
“Cool, I’ll be waiting for you by the car!”
“No, come in here!”
“Why?”
“Are you serious?” I yelled, “I’ve just murdered someone, Richard. If I will leave like this then the first to suspect will be us!”
“Oh? Alright. I’m coming in then!”
I shook my head and hung up on him. Richard is smart and has a personality that attracts many but he sometimes behaves like dump who knows nothing. I turned to the bar counter and asked for the same drink. He nodded and passed it to me. I lifted it to my mouth and chugged it down in one attempt. The malty flavor burning my throat with pleasure as it went down. Suddenly, the guy I met right away flashed at my eyes and caused me to wonder if leaving him alive was the right idea. Well, I don’t usually get second thoughts, nor do I ever be unsure of my decisions but tonight, I feel as if I shouldn’t have left him alive. He could become my catastrophe! I placed my glass on the table and got down the stool in abrupt rush but halted when Owen came in front of me with his huge smile.
“Good evening!” He said with activeness. I rolled my eyes and tried to walk past him but he blocked my way, “Charlotte William!” I cringed as I heard my name from his mouth. It sounds like poison to me. He chuckled, “Ahh, seems like someone is not pleased to see me here!”
I narrowed my eyes at him, “What is your problem? Why do you keep bothering me?” I asked with irritation in my tone.
“Well, it’s called entertainment!” He said, “I really enjoy when you get mad at me. It feels strangely beautiful!” I rolled my eyes again and he chuckled. “And-
“Let me give you a piece of advice!” I fake smiled, “If you don’t wish a death then you better keep this within business and behave your attitude around me!”
He laughed, “It’s not going to work on me, babe!” I clenched my jaw, glaring him to death. I was trying my best to not punch him at the moment. He was annoying me! “You can scare away others with your pathetic false threats. Not me!”
"Good for you. Now, do you mind? I have a business to finish!"
“Speaking of business? I'm here to talk about business!” That snapped my whole attention on him, “You want the contract, right? Fine, I will give that to you. But I want something in return!"
I knit my brows together as I asked, "What?" He gulped and grabbed my ass, “You!” Every cell of my body ignited and eyes raged hearing him, "I want you for one night," I clenched my jaw and grabbed my glass to smash it on his bloody face but before I could someone yanked him from his back and started dragging him without his will.
“Hey! What the fuck? Let go!!” Owen yelled, struggling to get rid of that guy’s hold but all went vain as he was much stronger than him and judging by his walk, boiling in rage. I lowered my hand of glass and watched Owen being taken away with a slight frown between my brows but when that guy stood in front of the fireplace and threw Owen’s upper half body in the flames, my brows shot up in utter surprise. Whoa! As soon as Owen’s skin came in the contact of fire, his scream resonated in the entire palace and got every single guest's eyes on his way. They watched his action with terrified eyes and didn't dare to utter a word which was enough for me to know that the person cooking Owen in front of me is none other the leader of Italy, Valentino D’Amlio. Of course, he is the only one who can do such a thing to someone in front of all the mafias.
Owen kept on struggling to get away, yelling and screaming but that guy was keeping him in a place with no efforts at all. I smirked. Poor Owen! Slowly, Owen's scream lowered and died. Valentino left him on the fireplace and adjusted his suit before he finally turned and revealed me his face to me. My eyes slightly widened when I recalled him. It was the same guy I met when I murdered Boris. Alright, so the Italy’s leader has himself witnessed my murder? Lovely! He tugged his hands in his expensive black three piece suit’s pockets and came towards me. Although, he’s yet killed a person in an extremely ruthless way and has witnessed me murdering someone but yet he couldn’t scare me which made me doubt my existence. Am I really a human?
“You definitely had a serious issue with him!” I remarked just after he stopped in front of me. He smiled, a smile which has the power to get any girl over her knees for him but me.
“I had no issues with him!” He tone was deep, dark and husky, “I just wanted to give everyone a reminder that no-one touches what's mine!"
I shot my brows at him, “I’m sorry?”
“You heard it right, Ms. William,” He took a step forward and looked into my hazel eyes deeply before he added, “You are mine!”
