What?

Those days had been quite busy for me. Catching Fazio was easier than I thought, but knowing what next to do was the problem. Just like someone who started something without plan A and B, I and Hart were just as unprepared as ever. But, Fazio's life taught me something, the fact that I should be the boss, then I would have a lot of people under me. Although, Fazio's life was not a good one, but, I respected him for that. But what would happen to me? Will I survive? Would Hart live? If Fazio heard the whole truth, wouldn't he try to kill us as he tried to the American mafia boss? Those questions were questions I could not answer.

"I think the case is closed now. Let us get back to business. " He said.

"Okay sir." I said ignoring the key point. "Sir, do you think there must be a reason for Fazio to have wanted to kill the Mafia?" I asked.

"Well, we know that Fazio is deadly. But, I think this has to do with more like Fazio wanting to be the Mafia boss. To bring to reality, at first, we thought Fazio is mafia. But, it's more confusing now that he's not. So, he being an Italian means that he might had wanted to be a mafia and he could not. So, he probably will want to kill the American mafia boss." Hart explained. It was like he had also been thinking of it.

"Wow. That was well convincing. But, that should not be our concern right? Our concern should be how to be bring the whole of Miami group down. " I smiled.

"I don't care about the Miami group. I'm only interested in the book company. Once I get hold of Fazio and his puppets, I will personally kill him. " Hart said with a villain's voice.

"You sound just like a villian." I said jokingly and sighed. "Nevertheless, we can't just kill just for a book company. I suggest we stop all these. Like, it does not make sense. Fighting against powerful people like them is giving ourselves troubles. Karina once told me that I don't have to work so hard to impress people or to show someone that I'm in charge. All I have to do is to sit down, eat, make money, play and act coded. The moment I have a lot of people eyes on me, the more people would want to ruin me. If Fazio finds out about our plan, I'm afraid I will die." I said as tears rolled down my cheeks. I was not surprised by my actions. That was just who I was. I was known to be emotional.

"So, you're quitting. You don't want to win? You started this fight with me, you want to leave in the middle. If you leave, then me? What am I going to do? Fight Fazio alone? Give up? Let my grandfather take over my book company? I'm Hart! I can't do that. If you die, I'll live for you. If I die, live for me. That should be our priority. " He said. His words made me laugh. It was quite dumb and annoying.

"You want me to die? Why? You'll live for me? Wow! I didn't know you are such a jerk. I am my mother's daughter. Her savage daughter. Fine, do as you wish. But I'm quitting. The whole job, everything, I'm quitting. You are such a nutjob. How dare you say you will live for me? Fine, fight Fazio alone or probably with Dave. You said you love me. I'm your fiancee. But, I'm afraid I will not accept the proposal. I don't think I can cope with you. Like I said, I don't love you, I only wanted you. But right now, I don't love you nor want you I hope you get that right." I replied as I stood up trying to leave the room.

"I didn't say anything wrong. I only wanted us to understand each other. You twisted my words. I didn't mean all those. " He said as he smirked.

"You smirked. Wow! You really got guts. Is this matter that worthless in your hands? That's true. I have no luck with guys. Guys elude me! But, am I just like that? A use and dump? " I asked staring straight to Hart's eyes.

"No. We keep quarrelling these days. But, you're not a use and dump material. I smirked because you look cute when you're angry. And I could not resist it. Did I do anything bad? I didn't use and dump you. I meant earlier that no matter what, we will survive. But, you don't want me anymore? You expect me to believe that? Just thirty minutes ago, you said you wanted me. How could someone change in just few minutes?"

"That's your way of begging? Woah! You... don't have any other way. Like you're sorry? Or like you love me? Your way of saying it is I'm cute anytime I'm angry? How dare you!" I shouted. Then, boom! The door opened.

The first thing I saw was black boot moving. I was terrified when I saw... him.

"This is your hideout? I didn't know. I should have come here later. Gladden and Johnson, this is a nice hideout. Oh! I should say Hart and Mira!" He said.

I was scared. I held Hart who didn't show any fear in his eyes.

"It's an honor to see the American mafia Boss visit us. I think you made a mistake in your statement earlier. Gladden and Johnson not Hart and Mira. " Hart replied in a quite bold shaky voice.

"Fazio hired you guys to kill me and you took the job. So, I decided to make it easier for you. Kill me right now. I'm tired of this life anyway. Come on. Kill me. You South Americans!" I didn't expect that. He was quite blunt. Firstly, how did he know us? I clearly forgot that he is a mafia. A mafia is deadly.

"Why do you think we would kill you just because you asked us to?" Hart asked.

"Because after now, you won't be given any more chance. You won't be able to kill me unless I surrender myself. If you don't kill me now, I'll kill you. " He threatened. I didn't know what to do. Fears boiled down in me. My heart beating fast trying to embrace what was happening. Hart was also looking terrified. His hands were shaking.

"Will you really kill me?" I whispered to Hart.

"I said I would do anything to survive. I must, else we will die. " He replied.

"Hurry up. Kill me!"

Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
