I'll Kill Him Myself

"Oh, that is not a problem. Did you forget who I am?" He smirked arrogantly...I also noticed the corner of Lorenzo's lips twitch up upon hearing his boss' arrogant words. Tsk!

I rolled my eyes because of his arrogance, "But seriously, how many pieces are there in Cleopatra's Heart?" I questioned, my brows lifted up as I stared into his calmness.

"There are five of the broken pieces...I already have the biggest one...then the other two will be in my hands later tonight, soooo we need to find the other two." He answered as he lay his back on the car seat with eyes closed.

Meanwhile, Lorenzo stepped on the gas and sped up the car. We all went silent as we traveled our way home.

I was looking outside the window when suddenly, Scott handed me his tablet. Confused and disoriented, I stared into him and gave him the 'what-am-I-gonna-do-with-this' look.

"Just in case you might need to read the other details for tonight's mission, everything is there." 

Without a choice, I took the tablet and scrolled over as I read. 

"So the security code to his bedroom is connected to Don Philippe's phone? Is there any other way we can find out the code?"

"That is the only problem of this mission...we will be needing his phone or if you have any ideas that you can share might as well share it now." He answered. "I already got his biometrics covered…" He wasn't able to finish his sentence when I interrupted.

"Woah! How did you do it?" I asked in awe. Is it even possible to get a person's biometrics, especially the eyes?

"I've let my men hack his system and manage to get the copy of his fingerprint and eye scan." He answered proudly.

"Then why didn't you hack his phone also?" I questioned sarcastically, if his men are good at hacking through a system they must've also know how to hack a mere phone, right?

"They can't, Don Philippe's phone is with him 24/7...they didn't get enough time to get through it before he'll turn it off...This is why I need you to catch his attention before the event starts." I could clearly see the change in his expression as he spoke those words.

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you want me to flirt with him!?" I asked sternly as I looked him in the eyes sharply.

"As much as I don't want you to do this, we don't have any other choice. He must be distracted and you must do anything to make him turn on his phone for the time being." He frowned, his face did look hesitant and his eyes weren't empty, "Just don't let him... Touch you." There is jealousy and possessiveness to his last sentence as he stared at me intensely.

"No! I'm not doing that thing! Especially with that old man! There's no way!" I blurted out. 

Suddenly, the car stopped, I turned my gaze into the window and noticed that we had arrived at his house. I was about to open the door frustratingly when he suddenly held my wrist preventing me from going out.

I have also noticed that Lorenzo was already outside making his way to the entrance of the house… when did he ever manage to get out of the car? Does he have super powers or something?

I heard Scott let out a deep frustrated sigh…"What!?" I yelled.

"Please, love. Do it for me. It's an order." He said almost in a whisper. He would tend to act soft and gentle when it's just the two of us. His hands were caressing my arms up to my shoulder carefully...for some reason it made me calm.

"Stop calling me love, Scott...I don't know how to flirt! For God's sake! Can't you just punch him and make him sleep or kill him or something?" I suggested it absentmindedly.

He chuckled, "We can't do that because we might catch the attention of everyone attending the party." 

I wasn't able to answer, at some point he was right, knocking him down is definitely a bad idea and would cause us even bigger trouble.

I flashed him a begging look hoping that he would withdraw his order...I am willing to do anything except flirting! Never!

But seeing his expression, he looked inarguable. I knew for a fact that this decision of his is firm and cannot be withdrawn especially when the pieces of Cleopatra's Heart are at stake. As much as I wanted to disobey his order...but the other part of me wants to help.

We were still sitting inside the car when we went silent, As I thought about other ways that I can do aside from flirting...but even if I'd squeeze my brain cells I just couldn't find other ways.

I let out a deep sigh as I'm about to give in and turn my gaze at him, "Alright, Whatever! I don't know this man and he doesn't know me either. So who will introduce us both to each other then?"

"Emma will be the one to introduce you to him. Do not worry about it." He replied.

"Okay, then I'll do it. But in one condition." I uttered.

"Anything for you, Love." He goaded. My eyes rolled instantly the moment I heard his endearment.

"I'll do as you say but if he will do something stupid... I'll knock his head to the ground." I said sternly. 

I saw his eyes lit up for a second while the corner of his mouth went up as it formed a smirk as excitement overflowed in his system...I couldn't help but be mesmerised by his eyes that were drowning the hell out of me. 

But his smirk soon faded when he realized he was showing too much of his emotions towards her already.

Mafias don't show off their emotions to just anyone as it will lead them to danger, they must not show weakness because their enemies will use their weakness against them.

Scott has been tough all his life... never let his own weakness win against him… but this time is different, he was acting differently towards this woman, she was able to ignite his emotions that he hid for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll kill him myself if he touches even a single inch of your skin." He took my hand that was resting on my lap and brushed his lips at the back of it as he winked, eyes were fixed at mine.

I pulled my own arm right away as soon as his lips landed on the skin at the back of my hand. For I could feel electric jolts run all over my body.

I then hurriedly stormed out of his car without a word as my heart was beating really fast...I can almost hear my own heart's thud thud as I walk quickly towards the entrance of his house... Leaving him inside his car laughing amusingly at my reaction.

When I stepped inside his house, I went straight to the receiving area where the fireplace was located and decided to warm myself up for a moment.

I sat on the comfy couch in front of the fireplace and placed my hands near the fire to feel the heat that was coming from the fireplace. The weather outside was sunny but unlike the Philippine weather which I was used to…

Sunny days in the Philippines have a different level of heat coming from the sun, as to Italy, yes it is sunny but the wind blows were colder, you can't feel any warmth coming from the sun as its heat was defeated by the cold of the wind.

I exhaled deeply as I felt relieved when the heat started to soothe all over me. My trembling hands from the cold a while ago when I stupidly ran over the house without even thinking...The chill have now slowly faded away.

When I am feeling warmer, my eyes roamed around as I remembered something...I looked for that thing where I last saw it and ding! 

There it is! The blades...My eyes then twinkled again for the second time around... Excitement could clearly be seen in my face as I happily ran over that direction, like a child. 

I was staring into the glass rack of blades without blinking as I noticed a dagger that was placed right at the corner of the rack. The dagger is fascinating and somewhat inviting me to take a hold of it…I didn't notice this one from the last time.

I moved closer to the rack to have a better look of it and saw a set of letters just below it. 'Cinquedea' is the label of the dagger...I have heard about this dagger before but I have never seen one in an actual form.
