XAVIER’S POV

“ The….. ambassador “Sophia replied.

What!

Him, again?

What the hell does this man want from me?

“But how were you able to figure out about her mission?” I asked not trusting her words.

“ The ambassador told me, because he knows who the assassin is “Sophia replied.

“ I was only following orders “She added.

“ You bastard,how could you think of killing Xavier? “Eva spat sending her a hard punch.

“ That’s okay Eva, we’ve already gotten what we want” I said trying to stop her.

“ Listen Sophia, better go tell that ambassador of yours that I won’t let anyone try to kill Xavier because…..”Eva said but stopped.

Why did she stop? And what she trying to say?

“Let’s go Xavier” She said instead and left.

We were already outside the room and Eva was the first to speak up.

“What business do you have with the ambassador that he’s trying to kill you?” She asked.

“ That’s his way of getting back at media replied.

“ Meaning?”….

“ That’s his revenge on me for arresting his daughter” I said.

“ What did she do? “Eva asked.

“She murdered two of her college mate cause of hatred and the ambassador wanted me to cover up but I didn’t” I explained.

“ Well, you better go handle him “Eva said and turned to leave but I stopped her.

“You were saying something inside but you stopped, can you finish it?” I asked waiting eagerly to hear those words from her.

“Forget it” She replied.

“No, I want to hear it” I insisted.

“Fine. All I wanted to say was this;

“ Because I hate him and I want to be the one to kill him myself “She hissed and left.

I stood there staring in shock.

What does she mean by she was gonna kill me herself?

ALEXA’S POV (EVA)

I left the house later today and headed to my main apartment to get myself ready for my mission.

Which was?

To kill another of my enemy; Clarabelle Willison, Americans famous actress.

I hate her because of the fact that people worship her like God, because the feel she’s the most generous being on earth.

But the truth is that everything she does is all for a show, for the sake of fame.

When I got to my room, I went straight to my wardrobe to picked out a disguise.

I selected a white shirt and a black skirt with a matching black flat shoe, which made me look like a waitress.

I applied some make-up, which made me look totally different. Anyone who knew me won’t even recognize me.

After I was done within 10minute,I headed to my destination.

Mrs. Clarabelle hosted an event today which I don’t care what it’s all about, so acting like a waitress is the only way to make an entrance.

I met a man whom I presumed to be in charge of all the waitress at the entrance.

“Hey,are you new here?” He asked and I nodded.

“ Then what are you waiting for, get to work “He snapped.

I almost knocked out his whole tooth but I stopped myself

Posing as a waitress and serving the guest some wine, I waited for Mrs. Clarabelle to round up her speech.

I followed her as she headed to one of the hotels room.

I was about entering but I was halted by a voice.

“And where do you think you’re going?” A man whom I presumed to be one of the guards asked.

“Ma’am sent me to get her lipstick” I replied.

He brought out his phone and dialed a number.

“Ma’am, did you sent any of the waitress to get you your lipstick “He asked.

“ Ok ma’am” He added, ending the call.

“You can go in” He said and I nodded with a smirk.

Well luckily for me while on my way, I overheard Mrs. Clarabelle instructed one of the waitress to get her a lipstick. I followed the waitress and knocked her out, collecting the lipstick from her.

I entered her room and met her sitting in front of her dressing mirror.

“The lipstick” She demanded and I handed it over.

“ And what are you still doing here?” She asked when she noticed I was still present.

“Get lost” She snapped and I almost hissed.

“ Ma’am I’ve heard so much about you and I’m so privileged to finally meet you” I beamed, faking excitement.

“ Ma’am, you’ve been my role model since I was a little girl and I want to be just like you” I continued with the acting. She turned and scanned me from head to toe, eyeing me like I was nothing.

“Whatever” She hissed, looking away.

“Ma’am, I’ve also heard that you help young investors like me, which is why I want to show you the new perfume I invented” I said bringing out the perfume from my pocket.

The truth is that, this is not a perfume.

I just emptied a perfume bottle, washed off its brand and filled it up with Batrachotoxin poison mixed with a little water.

I handed it over to her but she ignored.

“Please ma’am, I need you to examine the perfume and tell me what you think about it, you know I named it after you” I said and that caught her attention.

“ Really?” She asked, a smile forming on her lips.

“Yes ma’am” I said and slowly, she collected it from me.

She sprayed a little of it one her wrist and sniffed it.

Her smiled turned into a frown immediately.

“ What is this? Is this water or what?” She flared in anger.

“Listen, I don’t let fools like you waste my time so take this and get lost” She snapped but I didn’t move.

“ Are you deaf? I said get lost “ She half yelled but I still didn’t move.

“ Fine I’ll call the guards then “She hissed bringing out her phone.

She was about dialing a number when she started coughing slowly.

Her cough became so intense that she was now coughing out blood.

She opened her mouth to shout but nothing came out.

An evil smirk formed on my lips as I watched her struggling for her life.

She reached out for the glass of water but I took it and drank it.

“Oopsy, my bad” I said smirking.

She slumped to the floor, stretching her hand for help.

I watched her face shrink and her eyes balls popped out and slowly she died.

“Ma’am what happened? You still haven’t told me whether you like the perfume or not” I mocked.

“Idiot” A hiss escaped my lips.

I took the perfume and left in a hurry.

“ Hey, where are going to in a hurry, have you given ma’am the perfume?” The guard demanded but I shut him up with a hard punch on his forehead.

Taking his gun from him, I shot him dead instantly.

When I got outside, I bumped into someone.

Looking up, I saw Jace.

“What are you doing here, Jace?” I asked and he gave me a puzzled look.

“Excuse me, who are you?” He asked.

Oh I forgot, I’m on a disguise.

“It’s I, Alexa “ I replied and he let out an ‘oh’.

“ What are you doing here?” I asked once more.

“ Boss sent me to erase any possible footage of your mission “He said and I nodded.

“ Okay, I’m done, got to go now” I said and left.

I went back to my apartment and quickly changed, heading back to Xavier’s house.

Upon reaching there ,the door was locked, which means Xavier was not at home.

My phone ranged immediately and it turned out to be Boss.

“Hello boss” I answered.

“Where are you now?” He asked immediately.

“At Xavier’s house” I replied.

“Is there a problem, you don’t sound okay” I asked.

“Jace have been caught” He replied and I was shocked.

What!!!!!!!!!

But how is that possible?

“Listen, Alexa, Xavier was the one who caught him, so you know what to do “Boss said and I nodded.

“ Yes Boss, I’ll handle this, you don’t have to worry” I assured and ended the call.

I dialed Xavier’s number immediately and he picked up.

“Xavier where are you?” I asked.

“At the headquarters, your presence is needed Eva “He replied.

“ Okay I’ll be there” I said.

AT THE HEADQUARTERS

I watched as Jace was being tortured and I felt helpless.

“Speak up” Xavier yelled, sending a whip at his back which made Jace groan in pain.

“Oh so you don’t want to talk huh?” Xavier asked and tied him up to a chair.

He brought out a cutter and showed it to Jace.

“I’m gonna cut out your fingers one by one until you speak up “Xavier threatened and I swallowed.

Fuck! Alexa do something.

“Now tell me, where is the assassin?” Xavier asked but Jace scoffed.

“ I ain’t scared of that cutter nor you” He said weakly.

Xavier grabbed his index finger and cut it off.

Jace yelled in pain, blood flowing freely.

Xavier took another of his finger to cut out but Jace passed out due to pain.

I heaved out a sigh of relief.

“Fuck!He passed out” Xavier cursed.

“I guess the pain was too much for him” I said and Xavier dropped the cutter.

“Let’s leave then” I added and he nodded.

“ Keep an eye on him “Xavier instructed one of the guards before we left.

We headed to his car and he drove off.

Immediately we got home, both of us slumped to the coach.

“Where you able to see the footage?” I asked.

“ No, he deleted it before we arrived” Xavier replied.

Thank goodness.

“ I need to go freshen up “Xavier said and headed upstairs.

I went to my room still thinking of how to help Jace escaped.

An idea popped in and I smiled to myself in satisfaction.

? AT EXACTLY 01:00 AM ?

I sneaked out of the house and headed to the headquarters.

When I got there, I was first of all scanned by the door before it opened and I stepped in.

I went straight to the interrogating room, making sure not to wake up the guards who were already asleep.

The guard who was told to look after Jace was still awake, so without wasting much time, I shot him a tequila and he dozed off.

I used his finger print to unlock the door and stepped in.

I got to where Jace was lying and tapped him gently.

He sluggishly opened his eyes which were all swollen.

“Alexa” He called faintly, a smile on his lips.

“Yeah, it’s I,I need to get you out of here” I whispered, untying him.

I helped him stood up and crossed his hand over my shoulders, wrapping my hand around his neck.

We left the room and headed to the control room. I was able to delete the footage of me coming into the headquarters and at the same time turned off the cameras.

We got outside as quickly as possible and we were already a stone throw away from the headquarters when a voice halted me.

“Freeze” The person said.

Wait! This voice sounds familiar. Well, thank goodness I was putting on a mask.

“Don’t move or else I’ll shot” The voice threatened.

I turned and saw the last person I expected to see now.

Xavier!!

My heart jumped into my stomach.

Fuck! What is Xavier doing here?

I gently placed Jace on the ground and raised my hand up in a surrender.

Xavier started approaching slowly and at the same time I stylishly dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out my gun.

And for the first time in my life, my gun became heavier than anything I’ve come across. I tried carrying it up but I couldn’t because my hand was trembling.

What is wrong with you Alexa?

“Shoot him “ My subconscious yelled but I couldn’t. My palms began sweating and my heart was beating faster than usual. I finally mustered up the heart to kill him and released the trigger.

I watch as the bullet flew and went straight to Xavier’s heart and instantly I froze.

Xavier groaned in pain and slumped to the floor.

I starred at his body and an unexplainable pain pierced through my heart, making it difficult to breath. I just couldn’t move. I just stood there, starring at his body, doing nothing.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, ALEXA?..........
