A Night To Remember.
I look into the mirror , checking myself, I was wearing a burgundy floor length dress with a long slit reaching upto my mid thigh, thin straps and a plunge neckline, exposing decent amount of skin, my lips were painted in a dark shade of maroon. I tightened the holster around my non exposed thigh and put on my earrings with an inbuilt microphone, I put on my contacts and secured the small quantity of midazolam, a mild sedative in my purse and...done, just in case. Today is a laid back day, there are no kills on my schedule today, after all you should all devote your time to your potential alliance.
" Hey Scar, are you ready?" -A
"Yup. Never been this ready."- S
Alex came forward and linked his arm with mine, " My lady."
"Gosh Alex, you suck at this." I said rolling my eyes.
"Dude, I am trying!!" Alex spoke dramatically, this boy.." Let's go."
From the last few years, the only goal that kept me alive, the only dream that will erase all my nightmares.. tonight I will reach one step closer towards my goal. Killing Anthony was somewhat satisfying but he was never on my main hit lists, Well lets say in this game of chess, he's just a pawn, the queen, king and knight are the ones I keep my eyes on. What can I say, I happened to make some enemies on my way, some old, some new , these 4 years was not a cake walk for me, I have reached here after much dedication, pain and suffering and tonight..well let's say tonight's ball will be like rubbing some salt on my old enemy's wounds and ice on mine.
'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' a very famous quote by Shakespeare, many people know what these lines means, but a very few lucky people gets to live these lines.
We arrived at the hotel, the ball was held in the most luxurious hotel in town, Alex got out of the limo and opened the door for me, just like the gentleman he is,he held out his hand for me to take, a gracefully got out of the car and proceeded inside, the whole place is decorated like a new bride, from all I heard about our lovely host is that he takes his parties very seriously , my eyes roamed around the hall , searching for the one man who can help me reach my goal. The lights turned off, the whole place was buzzing with the sound of confused guests, then the spot light fell upon a man in his late twenties, his tall and musculine figure covered in a rich, black tuxedo, dirty blonde hair, perfectly styled, he radiated an aura of dominance and power, " Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome all of you to be a part of my celebration, I am here to share this great news with you all that now we are a part of the top 15 MNCs across the globe, this has all been possible with the equal contribution of each and every person standing here, thank you and enjoy the rest of your night." the lights turned back on, and soon everyone started mingling. 'Ezaz Al- Abadi', a famous name in the world of mafia, not many people know his true identity, to the world he is a top class business man and is doing great in his career and is a major icon in the corporate world. His forefathers were among the most influential people in the middle East, but down the generation their influence in the mafia world diminished, the last three generations tried their luck in the business world and here he is now, not an active member of the underworld, but his elder brother Nawaz Al- Abadi is a known name in the middle East. He got settled in the west and now is looking for the' perfect wife'.
I am just waiting for the right opportunity, I helped myself with a glass on red wine, and looking around for the man of the evening, I saw him talking to a few gentlemen, I was getting bored, Alex disappeared among the crowd just as I wanted him to. As I took another sip of my drink I felt someone looking at me, him, I locked eyes with him, his brown eyes staring me with such intensity, I averted my eyes and looked down to the glass in my hands. Just once, please.. please... "A beautiful woman like you shouldn't be alone in my party." bingo!!. Let's get where this night leads.
