My dear friend

Cassandra saw the girl standing in front of the sink looking extremely nervous. She approached the girl and confirmed that she was fine. As per the plan, she put her coat on the stand near the stand and went into a stall.

She came out after a few minutes and went towards the sink and noticed that her coat was not there, but it was replaced with that girl's coat. She was shocked at how it went, as Alexander said, and immediately reported it through the earpiece that was fixed behind her ears.

" Wear that coat and leave that shop" he instructed. She did as he said and went out wearing that coat. That girl was nowhere to be seen. As she walked out of the coffee shop she felt as if someone was following her

. To be precise, she could hear footsteps trying to catch her speed. The moment she turned towards her hospital building, she sensed a sweet smell covering her nose, making her body tired and dizzy.

Cassandra opened her eyes only to find herself in a dark room that was filled with the scent of blood. She wasn't fazed by the slightest change of atmosphere around her. She looked up at the figure standing before her. A tall guy with piercing here and there gave her dangerous vibes.

" That darned Alexander ! " She cursed in her mind.

" So Letty.." He said with a rather shock in his face. Cassandra looked towards her right and left but there was no girl beside her, which made her conclude that the Letty that man referred to was her.

After a second, she realized that she was the only woman in the room, most likely in the entire building.

" So, now you are scared, huh? Well, I got some information about you. It's impressing how closely you follow your father's steps."

She was shocked to hear it. Her father died an year ago. Her heart had stopped for a second but later was relieved since she was simply doing an act. Since she was working on a plan, she decided to let her emotions flow.

" Look sir, I think there is some kind of mistake here. I'm not who you are talking about " she said in a calm voice.

" So you are saying that you don't supply kidnapped children and women to your father? "

Her eyes widened. " What the hell are you talking about? what kidnapping? who's children? I don't understand."

Even though she knew she was pretending to be Letty, yet her honest side was hurt to be blamed. She never even broke a single traffic rule and here she was being blamed for doing such horrifying things.

" Oh, so now you are playing the innocent card, but I'm not an idiot. You can fool around. "

" You are an idiot " she said, since it was true that this man couldn't even find out that she wasn't Letty. Maxence, who was watching all this from the camera, couldn't help but laugh at it.

After all, he knew that Letty would be replaced by someone else and it was all Alexander's game.

After a saga of glares, Cassandra spoke again, " No I mean , I'm not playing any card and I'm not fooling you. Really Sir. Just think about it. How could I do those things? It's illegal and dangerous, and by the way, I have a pretty decent paying job." She said with confidence.

" Like they will believe you if you believe in yourself. " Alex whispered through his earpiece, who found his mission funny for the first time in his 13 years of work. On not receiving any response, he could imagine her face sighing in disbelief.

Cassandra was a skilled psychologist who knew how to manipulate people in her own way. Seeing the confused look of the man standing before her increased her confidence.

He shook his head and said " Lying is as easy as breathing for you, wicked woman. I'm not going to believe you. "

She was about to speak but was interrupted by Alaric, who had a visible shock in his face seeing her . " Alaric Bennett " she whispered. Now she felt real fear since she had to deal with the devil of the underworld.

" Leave her be Ohio. I'll take care of the rest. " he said to Ohio, who threw one last glare at her and left the room.

Alaric had confirmed that this was clearly a play, since he had done a background check on Cassandra, he wouldn't be fooled. Maxence didn't expect the sudden entry of Alaric and rushed towards the room.

" There you are Max. I expected you to be here a little earlier. Our target was clear and our men wouldn't make a mistake in any case, right? " He asked Maxence, who was struggling to catch his breath.

" Yes, they saw Letty entering the cafe but our chief informer had said that she was wearing a brown coat, which this girl is wearing right now. " He lied, since getting caught again was not an option.

" So, you are saying that the people I was proud of made a huge mistake...Ah! unfortunately I'm not forgiving enough. I don't want a single soul alive in that team...including Ohio. Eliminate them all and assign team 5 for this."

He ordered Max, who was in disbelief. Death was common even for the slightest mistake, but this time it was Ohio.

Maxence and Ohio were childhood buddies. What they had in common was, they were raised by single parents. They turned out to be best friends who had each other's backs no matter how much they argued or fought.

The thought of killing his childhood friend with his own hands terrified him. He now understood why Alexander left the mafia when Ethan got killed, for which Alaric was the sole reason. Maxence snapped back to reality when he heard Alaric shouting.

" Get in on the action Max. You know I don't like to repeat myself."

He wished for Alexander's arrival badly. This was the first time he ever wanted to stop the time from running faster and faster. It had been a long time ever since he felt the need to save someone.

Yet again he was helpless. He threw a reassuring smile at Cassandra who was, continuously staring at him with a sense of pity and left the room.

The moment he entered the control room, he saw Ohio running towards him with panic written all over his face. He took enough time to gaze at his friend, letting his tears flow which were hidden from years.

" Max, how's the situation? I just got to know that we made a mistake. Is it going to be fine? I know our boss doesn't spare a single flaw, but still.." Ohio's panic-stricken voice brought him back to reality.

" I-I'm sorry " he whispered. " I'm sorry for being a jerk once again, Ohio. You will forgive me, right? " he asked him as tears made their way out. By now, Ohio understood that he didn't have a chance and passed him a blue smile.

" Don't apologize Max, it's not your fault. It was my incapability. Y-You always did your best to cover me, but this time let me take the hit. "

" Go ahead Max, You know its painful to watch you like this" he said to his friend, who's hands were trembling, holding the gun for the first time. He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. The next moment, he heard a loud thud.
